IN OFFENSIVE TERMS
Evidently the President of
Venezuela believes the Monroe
doctrine to be a shield of safely
for him and for Veneiuela, or a j
thing to be spat apon as his (
purposes may demand. When';
the battle ships of England,''
German? and warn in't
Venezuelan waters, threatening
business and meaning business,
Castro was swift to appeal to
I'uo muuroe doctrine aud to ac
cept the capable services of
Minister Bowen and the friendly
and effective offices of the'
Suites in warding - off
the danger, and in bringing
about the withdrawal of the ugly
guns pointed at his seacoast
cities and the custom houses
therein.
Then there were none like
President HooBevelt, and none!
like unto Minister Bowen. But
having gotten out of his ditfiJ
culties with the three angry
powers of Europe, and believe
ine that the Senate has so ham-!
pered the President that the1
United States Government mav
be treated with contempt, Pre4
eident Castro has rejected the'
proffer of arbitration of the as-;
phalt business. He has chosen!
to reject it in terms that are at
once insolent and offensive of
would be offensive it they had
come from another source. His
curt language was the cause of
amusement and indignation on
the part of the Cabinet and on
the part of the President but
there is such a thing as laugh
ing on the wrong side of the
mouth, and the fact might be
pondered over by the insolent!
Venezuelan.
SENATOR FULTON'S GOOD
SENSE
Asrestior Marion is being
commended for his step in as
sessing property at its actual

Our post office receipts have
reached the magnitude sufficient
to entitle us to a free delivery
system throughout the city.
Notwithstanding the fact that
we should have had the present
weather several weeks ago when
we had weeks of sunshine, yet
its assurance of good crops,
forestalls all possibility of light

to fetl proud of three public

Senator Fulton in a recent
conversation with Assistant
Treasurer of the United States
Treasury, Mr. Taylor, is report
ed by the Washington corres
pondent of the Spokesman Re
view of Spokane Wash , as
having expressed his views on
assisting American shipping by
subsidies paid id cash by the
U 8 as follows:
i f 1
"I would like to know when we are
going to receive the new revenue cot
ter that has been assigned to the Pu
get sound revenue cutter service. It
takes a lot of work to secure an ap
propriation sufficient to construct a
little craft such aa a revenue cotter,"
continued the senator "The only
theory upon which I oan explain this is
(he Ignoranoe of most of the people of
this eoantry of the extent ot the com
merce of the Pacific They seem to be
unmindful of the fact that the sea
front of human activity will, within a
comparatively short time, be transfer
red from the Atlantlo to the Paciflo;
that instead of doing business with the
upward of 200,030,000 of people of
Kurooe we will csr 'ciiiuuwa
nearly three quarters of a billlou people
la the orient. Afcd I want to see
American shipping Interests encour
aged to such an extent that when this
time arrives American goods, consigned
to the furthermost ends of the earth.
ill be exported in American ships,
manned by American seamen."
'Those are my sentiments," Inter
rupted Score! ary Taylor, 'and I sin
cerely trust that some day the condi
tions you have described will oe
brought about."
NEEt) OF SUBSIDY
"Not until congress adopts the
policy ot England, Germany and all
other Important nations of the wurld
and subsidizes American ships. When
ever congress will authorize for a de
finite and given number of years, a
subsidy to every ship for every ton of
00 m me roe carried by that snip, the
ship building Industry will receive an
impetus that nothing else conld give it
and in a comparatively few years we
would be in a position to challenge the
other nations of the world in the great
struggle for supremacy in the carrying
trade of the Paciflo," oontinaed Sena
tor Fulton, "But the members of
congress are afraid of the subsidizing
proposition. Possibly it is because o
the term. Publio men seem to be
afraid that the idea ot contributing in'
cash to the development of a particular
industry would not meet with the ap
proval of the American people. And
yet, every industry that has been built
up in this oountry has been subsidized
by oongress indirectly. It was the
American tariff system that built up
the manufacturing establishments of
this oountry. It was the tariff tha1
develrped the tin industry and made
it one ot the great American Industries
when the democrats protested that it
could never become a self sustaining
in utttry hi this country. It was the
tariff that built op fhe glass industry,
and the iron industry, and so on down
the linr. It was not a direct payment
to the manufacturer but ' it was tbi
protection to him against ' the' might
competition of foreign cheap labor. Un
der that system our faotorles have been
built up until today the competition iu
this country is so great that even with
the high priced, labor here we are' able
to manufacture many articles and sell
tbem on the markets of the world
cheaper than they can be manufac
tured in tLe pauper labor countries of
Europe.
TAYLOli'8 GOOD WISHES
"I agree witti everything you have
said," said assistant Secretary Taylor,
"and I wish you Godspeed in your
effort to Induce congress to enact
suitable legislation for the upbuilding
ot the American merchant marine.
and if it were not for the great number
of senators and - representatives in
congt ess fromjuland states who never
saw the ocean your task would be
muca eeslbr ."
KEEP MONFY AT HOME
The American ship building
industry cannot be fostered by a tariff
The only proper encouragement the
government can extend to it is a direct
subsidy. We are today paying millions
of dollars to foreign owners to trans
port our commerce. Why not kep
this money at home and pay it to our
people and have the additional guaran
tee that in the event of war we will
have the transport service necessary
to meet auy ooutluanoy that may arise
