The White House.

One thing which President Taft's
message to congress has done. besides
directing attention to the need of .ariff
revision, is to give notice that the Of
ficial title OF the official executive resi-
dence will remain The White House"
The message is so dated alongside Of
the presidents signature and it may be
taken for granted that the same deslg-
ration will be retained and used In all
the official communications while Mr..
Taft remains at the head of the gov
eminent. This puts at rest all the talk
about the supposed intention of the
new president to emphasize his adj
vent by going back to the Executive
Mansion" which was discarded by
President Roosevelt In preference for
The White House" BY the time this
designation is carried through two or
three administrations, It will doubtless
become a fixture that will cling to the
historic building that serves as the
abode of our presidents as long as the
structure shall stand.
As already stated The White
House" appeals to us as being more
distinctive and characteristic as a
name for the official residence of the
chief executive of a great republic, be-
cause there are executive mansions in
nearly every state capital and its sim
plicity also contrasts more strongly
with the royal palaces and imperial
castles that house the monarchs of the
old world. The president OF the
United States lives in THE White
House."

The Nerve of Castro.

The eminent nerve specialist among
statesmen, Cipriano Castro, late dicta-
tor of Venezuela and later a temper
airy resident of Berlin, has thrown
something of a scare into the diplo-
matte camp of the world by %announc-
ing that he will take the steamer sail
ing from Bordeaux on March 2S for a
westward oyage with his ultimate
destination as Caracas, the Venezuelan
capital. AS willy as a fox when spring
chickens are ripe, Castro is not going
direct to Venezuela. He will land at
some West Indies port and await his OPP
portunity to make a dash into Vene-
zuela when the spirit of revolution is
abroad in the land, in the hope of re-
gaining his lost prestige and position
as the Wasp of the Andes" the
stormy petrol of South American poll
tics.
People with a moderate claim to
civilization do not possess a fondness
for Castro, but they al not withhold
their admiration for the sheer nerve
of the man. He worked his way from
the position of bull whacker to the
head of the Venezuelan government
and for eleven years exercised a dieta-
torship that was a model of its kind.
He Q~uarreled with all of the civilized
nations of the world, narrowly escaped
war with France and Germany and
ruled things with a high hand until a
few months ago when the condition of
his health demanded his sudden de-
parture for Germany. He gave up
everything but his bank account of
$50, OOO 900 and hurried off TO see the
doctors. After his departure, the
populace Of Venezuela tore down his
statues in the public places, burned
his palaces, sent most OF his rela-
tiyes TO exile and made IL APP
pear that Castro had worn out his
welcome on Venezuelan spil n that
they would be delighted to hang him
should he venture to return. Another
man was elected president; peace was
restored with the civilized nations of
the world. and. so far as Castro was
concerned, everybody in Venezuela

A CRISIS ron TRUSTS.
Combines Tempt Fate by DefyinK
Public Sentiment.
Cleveland Loader

Cleveland Leader.
Critical situations for individuals or cor
porations do not always come heralded
with trumpets. Sometimes they approach
when there is least 10 cause apprehension
on the surface, In one vital sense that is
the situation nov with respect to the great
companies known as trusts, and also, in
like manner. with regard to the railroads
and other common carriers.
Things seem to be going we'll with these
powerful corporations. They are ready to
profit. like other business interests, by the
revival Of prosperity. They will be carried
along on the fun tide Of trade and indus
trial growth. They have won some note
worthy victories in the courts against state
governments and against the nation. II is
easy for short-sishted trust magnates TO
feel surs that the future belongs to great
combinations OF capital
Such conditions create a real crisis which
e%ndangers the existence of the trusts and
the independence Of the railroads, because
1t may lead these corporations into suicidal
disregard of public sentiment and hostility
to the wild of the people. 1t threatens in
Justice and arrogance. and hat combina-
tlon would spell disaster for all corpora
tons guilty OF such folly.
In the end the country will have its way
always subject, of course, to the limita-
tions OF justice. In the end the trusts and
the common carriers will be absolutely
compelled to wipe out every trace OF dis
ordinations In rates or other service by
common carriers. Their only safety lies in
equity and righteousness. To deny fair play
is to invite destruction.
Despite occasional manifestations of the
naughty spirit which goeth before a fall 1t
is impossible to believe that the men in
control Of great combinations of capital
can be blind enough to tempt fate by defy
Ing the deep convictions and earnest pur-
poses OF the people, in respect to such
evils as the court prosecutions begun by
the Roosevelt administration were Intended
to uproot and prevent. That policy would
imply a degree of shortsightedness and
folly which seems Incredible.
The trust victories in the courts have
brought on a crisis In which the position

STOP, LOOK, LISTEN,
Rule of the Road Laid Down for
Auto Guides.
Pittsburg Dispatch.

Pittsburg Dispatch.
A very interesting decision is that of the
United States circuit court, opinion OF
Judge Burlington. in the case OF damages
resulting from the collision OF an auto
mobile and a train in New Jersey. The
question turned upon c~ontributory negli-
genoe. The plant of the auto owner fol-
lowed closely the lines Of the case Of the
farmer in Winston Churchill's novel. "Mr.
CreWe's Career" The track was curved at
the crossing where the damage was done;
1t was obscured by trees and brush along
side; the road approach was down a sharp
grade. and so on. The auto owner claimed
the crossing was extremely dangerous and
that he had TO take a chance.
The court agrees with the man injured
about the character OF the crossing. But
II declines to follow the parallel of the
story book case. II holds that different
rules apply in the case Of an automobile
thar I'm the case Of horses and carriage.
First. the machine may approach closely
10 the tracks without LANCER OF the horses
taking fright and running away. Second.
the driver may cave the machine and go
forward to r~econnoiter. In this case the
auto could ave been stopped on the east
bound track, after the freight train had
passed, while its occupants looked up the
other track to see II any trains were COM
ing.
II ls found the driver neglected all the
precautions 50 dearly set forth; that he
preferred to take a chance to taking pre-
cautious and so he met disaster He is
held 10 have been negligent. And he not
only endangered his own life and that OF
his companion. but he endangered the lives
Of persons on the train. This decision is
one we'll worth the remembering by auto
mobilists, They are elassed with trolley
cars and other heavy mechanical con-
triyances, and must share with railroads I'm
taking precautions against accident. They
are not on the plane with pedestrians and
drivers Of horses.
