TIT. NATTER.

The Colombian government has
"separaicd" General Pedro Ncl 0s-
pima. tho Colombian minister at
Washington. from his post, from
which We infer that it does not APP
prove of his recent expression Of epr.
sonal opinion that Secretary Knox's
visit 10 hat country under existing
conditions would he "inopportune." II
Is announced that the Washington
department OF state had no hand in
this result ~ the former minister's
note: that the recall Of General Os-
pima is tho voluntary act Of Colombia:
and that consequently our southern
ncighbor has lone all that she could
TO restore everything to the position
existing before the note was written
and published.
OF course it liz always Il question
IN such matters as to whether or lot
the previous position can be restored.
The human memory plays sad tricks
when n tries to restore tho status
quo ante. II takes our forgctery by
tho throat and chokes it into a state
of imbecility--into a condition Of alb
solute worthlessness. The historical
case of Iiumpty Dumpty is exactly to
the point. The nursery annals re-
port that after he had fallen off the
wall "all the kings oxen" could not
put him back. 1t is usually so In
cases where VIC are positively anxious
to forget. The more anxious We are
to forget the moro We remember.
We are not saying that Secretary
kno might not find n satisfactory
welcome if he should decide to visit
Colombia. We have no doubt at all
that he would find a correct official
welcome. There are several shades OF
difference. however. between that
sort of a thing and the spontaneous
good will which one hopes TO arouse
when he goes out for purely friendly
purposes. The retired Colombian min
lister probably has friends at home.
and they might feel hat they We're
called upon to do things. \ visit after
the event which We are all trying to
forget would carry certain chilling
possibilities with it. The old diplo-
matte rule is that every thing settles
itself in time. and perhaps it would
he .%iudicious TO turn his visit over to
the nppeasing power of the old gen.
tleman with the long beard and the
scythe.
The error-if an error has been
committed in this class-came earlier
than the minister's inoppotune note.
When one goes III to build up
friendship with neishborins lands it
is practically indispensable that the
slate between them and us should he
clean. Unfortunately, our slate with
Colombia is not clean. This was
known beforehand. and it was a point
TO take account of. When one knows
that the road is a little rough 1t does
moi change it to hope or play or as
sumo that it is smooth. 4 clean
diplomatic slate Is the only trust
worthy foundation when one goes out
on a mission of friendship. for other
wise arguments may spring up among
the compliments. and existing differ
cnccs may throw good will out of the
window.

recognition by the public Of the fact

,.age-worker must. as a matter Of
justice and personal pride. do first
class work for that wage, and in his
private character must be a good cit
izen-and SO must the employer.
We hear much of the conflict be-
tween capital and labor, and often
it seems to be assumed that this con-
fict is inevitable. and that capitalists
and wage-workers must be considered
primarily as belonging to different
classes. each individual being judged
only by the standard Of his own class.
This is a thoroughly false and un-
healthy view. From the standpoint

a PHASE OF INDUSTRIAL JUSTICE
Theodore Roosevelt in outlook.)

(TheodOre Roosevelt in Outlook.)
1t is always difficult to make men
realize in practice what no human
being denies I'm theor' namely, that
there arc two sides to almost every
question, and that insistence upon the
doing Of his duty by one party to a
transaction ought to be accompanied
by i%nsistcnce that the other party also
shall do his duty. In industry. wheth-
there is always reed of insisting that
the obligations Of employer and en-
ployee are mutual and that each owes
1t not only to the other but to his own
self-respect to see that the other re-
ceives full Justice: and this not as a
matter of kindness or charity. but
as a matter of right and duty. of

to take this attitude is more evident
