THANKSGIVING.
Lord of the land and sea,
Our deep Thanksgiving be
Forevermore to Thee!
For Thy so lenient ways
In the dead other days,
We lift our worship-praise!
For all our radiant names
That history acclaims
The deeds that now are Fame's!
For failure that which went
With some sublime Intent;
For Death's dark Bacrament!
For beckoning beacon-hopes
That shTw beyond the slopes
How wide the Future opes! -
For all our land's Increase -
That slowly, without cease -Man's
patliB trend more to peace!
Forever more to Thee,.
Our deep Thanksgiving 'be,
Lord of the land and sea!

; were sustained by careful statistics, and there is no question of

J Obviously, something must be done about it. We can per
I haps get along without punishing many criminals. Those of them
that make too much trouble are pretty sure to get shot, sooner
or later, anyway. But we can not get along if the general belief
j prevails that the law is not adequate to punish crime. The chief
purpose of inflicting punishment legally is to prevent it being
done illegally. The people refrain from .private vengeance only
as they believe there will be public vengeance. Incidentally, civ
ilized states use this public vengeance as an opportunity for the
reform and deterrence of criminals. But the protection of soci
ety against violence and anarchy decrees that the law be and be
deemed adequate to do that which individuals and mobs will in

CRIMINAL LAW REFORMS
In a paper read before the CommonwealthClub in San Fran
cisco last week, Professor McMurray, of the University of Cali
fornia, presented some startling figures 01. the increase of crime
and the efficiency of our legal machinery to handle it. Exactly
the reverse condition exists in all civiliz9d' countries. Every
where else the actual amount of crime is much less than with
us, the amount of it is decreaiinff every year, and the proportion
of criminals caught and punished is incrersinsr. In this country
and especially in the state cf Oalifornia, where the statistics
presented were most complete, te absolute amouat of crime is
The Boston Advertiser remarks that it 'is not clear upon
what grounds Holland insists that Venezuela should fulfill the
conditions of the proctocol of 1894, in view of the fact that Hol
land herself has notoriously failed to do this. That proctocol
opened Venezuelan ports to Dutch commerce, in return for which
Holland promised not to permit the harboring of Venezuelan rev
olutionists in Curaco or permit the export from there of weapons
or ammunition to Venezuela. The assumed attitude of Holland
now appears to be that, as Venezuela has closed her ports to
Curacao, Holland may allow any sort of a revolutionary propo
ganda to flourish in Curacao. She has the cart before the horse.
It is a well understood fact that for a long time dating far
back of the present disagreement between Holland and Venez
uelarevolutionists have lived in Curacao and spread their anti
Castro doctrines thence. If the Holland government has not
openly protected these Venezuelan revolutionists, she has cer
tainly made no effort to check them or drive them from the isl
and. Curacao has long been a hotbed of Venezuelan revolution
ism. There has been nourished most of the anti-Castro agita
tion. Curacao has been a political thorn in Castro's side. Castro
has the weight of the facts on his side ,so far as the proctocol of
1894 is concerned.
