VENEZUELA MAKES REPLY TO ROOT

President Castro's Paper Sets Forth the Position of Country. SCHEMES OF ADVENTURERS THEY WILL AND SHOULD NOT BE PROTECTED BY THE REPUBLIC, IT IS.' ASSERTED CRACK AT MONROE DOCTRINE. Caracas, Venezuela, April 3. President Caatro'B official organ, El ConBtituclonal, publishes a part of Venezuela's answer to Secretary Root's last note reiterating the secretary's previous demands for the arbitration of the five American claims. These are the words of the Venezuelan Minister of Foreign Affairs to Minister Russell: "The government of Venezuela refuses for the time being to taUe under consideration the Insinuation made in your note because up to now, Mr. Minister, you have not contradicted the notes of this ministry, of dates July 0 and September 20 last, which treated of the points which have been the subject of discussion and in which the reasons on which this government then founded its negative were perfectly well defined. The paper goes on to allege that almost five years after the claims in question had been arbitrated the American Government comes to demand, through its minister to Caracas, that two of these claims shall lie newly submitted to arbitration. Suggesting that the usefulness of Ihe Monroe doctrine will Iw destroyed by the present, attitude of the state department, the editorial continues: "We do not believe for a moment 1hat the I'nited States congress can possibly authorize any proceeding which will create a situation contrary to the rule of Justice among nations." In closing, El Constitucional says: "It is the duty of every government to watch over the legitimate and honest interests of its citizens and save them from all designing attack, but li o serious government, nor any government which pretends to be just, can or ought to protect under the flag of the fatherland the peculations of adventurers."

BUSINESS DEATH RATE

Figures Have Been Compiled By Dun and Co., for the First Quarter. SHOW SOME IMPROVEMENT Commercial failures in the United States, according to R. G. Dun & Co., numbered 4,909 in the first quarter of 1908, with liabilities of $73,705 191. While this is the heaviest mortality for the corresponding months of any year on record, there is a slight improvement as compared with the last three months of 1907, arid many quarters, other than the first, of earlier years have recorded heavier losses. The most satisfactory feature of this statement is that the liabilities in March were smaller than in any preceding month since last September, particularly as to suspensions of banks. Was a Test of Strength. Although the opening months of 1908 have provided a commercial death rate that is far above normyl, it is only the aftermath that naturally followed the severe shock experienced last October. During a decade of unprecedented prosperity many business houses extended themselves far beyond the point dictated by conversatisrn, while thousands of utterly incompetent men were tempted to start new ventures by the ease with which money could be borrowed and the large profits promised by a rapidly expanding nation. CASE AFTER CASE Plenty More Like This in Richmond. Scores of Richmond people can tell you about Doan's Kidney Pills. Many a happy citizen makes a public statement of his experience. Here is a case of it. What better proof of merit can be had than such endorsement? William W. Fry. of 830 North Twelfth street, Richmond. Ind.. says: "For a long time I was uneasy on account of a severe kidney trouble. The secretions were of a bad odor and contained a sediment like brick dust. Many nights I had to get up out of bed five times to pass the secretions. My back aches intensely and there was a hard pain around the kidneys. T-iOoking about last winter for a cure for my trouble I was advised to use Doan's Kidney Pills. I got a box and began taking them as directed. Being relieved I continued their use until the malady left me. I give Doan's Kidney Tills my earnest recommendation." For sale, by all dealers. Price 30 cents.

MUST ACCEPT $1,500,000. New York, April 3. Alfred G. Vanderbilt, the richest, young man in America, has offered his wife $1,500,000 in settlement of all claims arising out of her suit for divorce in which the legal papers have been filed. As an alternative to the acceptance of this offer he has threatened to make an active instead of a passive defense in the cfse. That he will defend himself is certain, according to the legal papers already on record. Such defense might be merely formal, however, and absolute secrecy maintained as to the actual testimony in the case. The defense which he threatens, however, to prevent a large claim being made against his fortune would make all the facts public and would, according to his friends .stir American society to its depth. Another feature of the proffered settlement which is giving Mrs. Vanderbilt's friends much concern is that the settlement is offered in stocks and bonds which one year ago might have been sold for $1,300,000, but which now would scarcely bring two thirds of that sum.

SPEAKER JOSEPH GUMNEY CANNON Asa PRESIDENTIAL POSSIBILITY The Eolloiviiig Extracts Are From an Article by ALFRED UENRY LEWIS in the April Iisue ot HUMAN LIFE

Without wronging the gentleman. I think we may assume that Mr. Cannon Joseph Gurney Cannon albeit he ejaculates "Scat!" whenever the subject has mention, is willing, if not pleasantly eager, to be made President of these I'nited States. Personally, I like Mr. Cannon, although our relations have never been intimate, and 1 hesitate to oppose in him so praiseworthy an ambition. I might, too, were a White House just no more than a buttonhole borjuet be in favor of presenting him with it: bur since the edifice has a serious purpose, and was not meant to be decorative. I am driven to look another way. With nothing but his forty years of public life to judge from, added to what, he has recently said concerning popular conditions and the needs of the popular hour, I could no more commend Mr. Cannon for the presidency than myself for the rectorship of Trinity Church. Mr. Cannon began practice in the Illinois courts, and drew about him a fair circle of clients. Also he was a money getter; and, his habits of saving and economizing remaining, be put away two dollars for every dollar he spent. He put those saved dollars into land, at five dollars an acre, which has since gone to twenty-five and fifty and even one huudred dollars an acre. His Ships Always Came Safely Home Mr. Cannon, from land purchases, expanded into other fields of effort. Also his ships came always safely home; for his money-sense was as bright and clear and deep as beauty's blue-eye to steal a simile from the romantic writers. Now, at seventytwo, when he thinks on a White House, he is worth a round two millions, and may call himself, if not the eldest, at. least the richest, of all whose bonnet ever entertained the presidential bee. Has Killed Nothing With His Congressional Gun Mr. Cannon is honest, but not resklessly so. He has principles: but they are polled angus principles, and never an aggressive, fighting, goring horn in the entire herd. For all his third of a century in Congress, were he to die tomorrow no historian and search through the whole body of our laws could find a least trace of a Cannon impression. He has brought, forth no policies, led forth no wars. His thoughts are of himself and for himself, and he has the same instinct to gather power that he has to gather gold. And ar that there is nothing, for particular good or ill. he designs to do with either. Give him gold and he would use it merely to get more gold; give him power, and he would use it merely to get more power. That, from the first, has been his commercial and political story. What does he want, of a White House? Vanity, and to please his nose of fancy with the perfume of possession. There is nothing he would do with a presidency beyond hold it four years. There is nothing he knows of that ought to be done. The times are utterly smooth: the popular prospects without a wrinkle; what more should

Name P. O. Box or Street drama. It is a decided departure from the many sensational and impossible melodramas that have leen foisted upon the public during the past few years. It is a strong original play in four acts, with exceptionally natural and life-like characters, men and women who could exist and do exist in every community today, ajid who act, look and talk like human beings, and not like the overdrawn characters seen in so many plays, who bear not. the slightest resemblance to people in real life.

be asked of a President than just to look benignanily on? There you have the Cannon feeling. Should you share it, you ought, for the coining nomination, to be a Cannon man. As Speak

er, chief of tae appropriation committee, member on the floor, Mr. Cannon has carried a congressional gun for lo these many years. He has killed nothing with it. There is no record that he so much as fired at anything. Given a White House gun, he would burn no more powder, bring down no more game. As displaying the election craft of Mr. Cannon, a story is told. Mr. Cannon, whose region swarms with farmers, would make out a list of ones lie ought to see. These were either Democrats grown shaky, or Republicans whose loyalty to Mr. Cannon had suffered a relapse. Taking it township by township, Mr. Cannon would visit these political uncertain! ies. He carried as his companion a rustical one broad-chested, and taught in labors of the farm. Mr. Cannon would find his doubtful man a field, busy with scythe or plow. At the cheery hint of Mr. Cannon his sturdy companion took the doubtful one's place in swath or furrow; whereat the emancipated one, with Mr. Cannon, would repair to the shade of a tree. The farmer, under the restful circumstances, never minded the loss of his time. Mr. Cannon was welcome to whatever space he required to show that, the safety of the nation demanded his congressional return. Having driven the nail, Mr. Cannon would clench it. in cases where the farmer had a watch, by asking the hour, and setting his own particular Klgin by that of the farmer's. This last piece of deference was never known to fail, and Mr. Cannon drove off in his carryall the stronger by another vote. The above are extracts from an article by Alfred Henry Lewis in the April issue of HUMAN LIFE, the magazine about people, and should be read by every thinker, every voter, in America. In the March issue of HUMAN' LIFE, Mr. Lewis wrote on the presidential possibilities of William How ard Taft. Mr. Lewis, in the May issue of HUMAN LIFE will cover Secretary Cortelyou.
