The Fulton .ounty Njws MeConnellsburf . Pi. i - - UNBUSINESSLIKE BUSINESS. The New York state employers' lia bility commission hug submitted a carefully prepared report showing a fearul waste of human life In Indus trial pursuits. Soma loss, of life In modern Industry may be reckoned as unavoidable, but the far greater pro portion of the loss which Ib sustained la the result of unnecessary condi tions. It Is the direct result of a lack of safety appliances and of overwork ing employes to the point of physical exhaustion. It is a result of unjust li ability laws and legislative negligence, ays the Kansas City Times. If senti ment has no place In business an untenable proposition In Itself at least business ought to be business like. It Is demonstrably not good business to permit avoidable killing of industrial worker and then spend vast sums In caring for families bereft of natural support It Is not good business, even though the children are not neglected, with the chances in fa vor of their becoming vicious or Idle citizens. Stricter employers' liability, an automatically applied workmen's compensation for Injury or death, and direct industrial Insurance are all In surance measures. They provide funds for the support of Injured workmen or of their wives and children. They also encourage safety provisions. Such Insurance costs would be diffased among all the people as .taxes and Are Insurance or diffused by being added to the cost of the business. That diffused cost would be a prac tical Impalpable burden upon society. Birds have an excellent time In Japan and our own agriculturists would do well to emulate the treat ment meted out by their eastern con freres to such birds as the swallow and martin, says the Wide World. With a skilled appreciation of the part these feathered friends play In rela tion to their crops by keeping down the Insect pests, they exert every ef fort to protect them and to encourage them to propagate their kind. Is It to be wondered at that this sentimental but withal eminently practical nation reverences the swallows as messen gcrs to the gods and invites them to build their nests not only under eaves and rafters, but In every and any room of the house? In the hotel dining room were several nests, where the happy parents reared their families In complete safety. There has been much talk regarding the selection of a national flower. Has It all been wasted? The Brooklyn Eagle remarks upon the Indisputable fact thai there Is no authority In the Constitution for the selection of a na tional flower. 'However, a great many things have come to be in this country without specific constitutional au thority. There Is, for Instance, a na tional bird, the American eagle. There la "Uncle Sara" and there Is "Miss Co lumbia," with no authority for either, except the self-assured authority of the cartoonists. But these are things upon which everybody la agreed. There Is not likely to be a national flower until everybody Is agreed upon It In the meantime, fortunately, the country can afford to waits Scientists report that Halley'i comet la 600,000,000 miles distant fiom the sun, and If It were really the cause of the recent beat waves, nobody caret If It gets 500,000,000 more miles away, or even If It gets lost In the outermost bounds of the solar system.

The Prsddent Also Refers to the Qjod to Be Derived From the Arbitration Treaty With Englar.d. Atlantic City, N. J In a speech to the International Christian En deavor Convention here President Taft declared that the negotiations for the arbitration treaty between Great Britain and the I'nlied States have reached such a stat-e that there Is no doubt as to the s.g.iing of the pact. "I urn glad to s:iy," said the Presi dent, "that today wo have reached kiich a point In the negotiations for a treaty of universal arbitration with one of the great European powers that we can confidently predict the tlgning of a satisfactory treaty. The arbitration treaty heretofore with Great Britain and other countries has excepted from the Cannes which may bo arbitrated those which Involved the vital Interests of either party or Its honor. The treaty which we are row closing with Great Britain elini Inatea, these exceptions and pro vides that all questions of interna tional concern of a Justifiable char acter shall be submitted to the arbi tration of an impartial tribunal." The President expressed the hope that eventually half a dozen Euro pean countries may make similar treaties. Such action, he said, will not abolish war, but would furnish a forcible Instrument In preventing It. The President left Washington amid the closing freaks of a severe thunderstorm. His private car .was 20 degrees cooler than It was early In the week when he Journeyed through Ohio, Indiana and Pennsyl vania, with a temperature Indoors of 100 degrees. Senator Briggs, of New Jersey; Secretary Illlles and Major Butt accompanied him. At Philadelphia the President's car was attached to a special train that nyide the run to Atlantic City In 60 min utes. The President spoke from a plat form on the Million-dollar' Pier. Sev eral thousand persons heard him and cheered him as he entered and as he left the pier. The first part of the President's speech was devoted to a brief review of the work of the Christian En deavor Societies. "Such a movement," said the President, "cannot but have the most beneficial effect upon the citizenship of a nation like this, and I should bo lacking In appreciation of those cur rents of popular reform and Indi vidual uplifting If I did not seize such an opportunity to pay a just tribute to those who have deserved so well of the republic; for while this country has no state church and en courages the utmost freedom of reli gious belief and practice, It is a fun damental error to suppose that those who are responsible In any degree for the public welfare may not In every proper way encourage all In strumentalities In betterment of the Individual man, all moral and reli gious movements for his higher spiritual welfare without regard to the denominational Jurisdiction In which such movements take their source or exercise their Influence. They necessarily tend to a leaven of the whole community and to the righteousness that exalteth a na tion." CASTRO IN VEN ZUELA Exiled President Ha Landed There In Disguise. Washington. Clprlano Castro, the exiled president of Venezuela, has eluded the vigilance of the nations of the world and landed In his native country In disguise at Castilletas, on GoaJIra Peninsula, according to a re port to the State Department from Caracas, confirming a rumor from there. The Venezuelan government Is making strenuous efforts to cope with the situation and frustrate any revo lutionary designs of the former president. Gen. Jorge Pello, a friend of Castro, has been arrested at Maracalbo, and others of his fol lowers are said to have been Im prisoned. His family la reported to be at Cucuta.

ENDEAV0RER5 IN THE HEAT OF 'Twlxt Love A COMMISSION FOR TRUSTS Bi I I. t'oduced By Senitor New ' lands -Into-a'ato rada Commlmilon. Washington. An Interstate trade commission of five members to con trol industrial corporations, as the Inter-State Commerce Commission controls the railroads, was advocated in a bill Introduced by Mr. Newlands, of Nevada. Mr. Newlands In a state ment accompanying that measure contended that the Standard Oil and Tobacco decisions and the recent gov ernment report on the steel Industry demonstrated the need of "an Inde pendent, quasi-Judicial and. adminis trative tribunal of great character and dignity aa far removed from par tisan control as are the courts." The plan Is to apply only to Industrial corporations engaged In inter-state trade whose annual receipts exceed $5,000,000. FRANCIS G. NEWLANDS. United States Senator from Nevada. Mr. Newlands' statement was by way of urging the passage of a bill which he Introduced providing for this commission. His measure would separate the Bureau of Corporations from the Department of Commerce ( and Labor and merge the bureau into i a commission of Inter-state trade, i with the Commissioner of Corpora-; t'ons a member of the new commls-: sion. It would require all the In-1 dustrlal corporations having receipts exceeding $5,000,000 to make satis- j factory . statements as to capltallza- i Hon, finances and operations, such i corporations to be known as "United States registered" companies. It proposes to make lack of such regis- tratlon an "indication of something' wrong. Mr. Newlands declared that if such legislation had replaced or aided the Sherman Anti-trust act over 20 years sgo this country would have ad vanced as far In the regulation of In dustrial organizations as it has In railroad regulation, ne referred to recent expressions of Mr. Gary, of the Steel Corporation, and others as In dicating that the great corporation managers recognize that public regu lation Is now Inevitable.

ARMY ALLEGED TO TOTAL 1,000 Eludaa Interr ational Watchera, In cluding tha Unl.ad States, Wh.ch Have Been Trying to Pre vent Hit Ralurn. Caracas. Clprlano Castro, self atyled man of destiny, who once set out with an army of 23 ranchmen and overturned the government, Is in Venezuela and seeiii practically as sured of retiming the presidency. Even many ol the military authori ties here assert that the present refcime Is touenng and that only foreign Intervention can save It. Castro already has an army ot more than 1,000 men. These troops are equipped with modem army rifles, using steel packeied bullets. In the Credit Lyonnalse of France Castro has on deposit 36, 000, 000 francs. He is saiu to have hud Uio additional backing of Banker Slivera, who asserted t hut unlimited means v ould be, at the dlspobal of the exiled dictator. From all sides Cast ro's" former friends are rallying to him. Revolu tion haB been In the air for months. Newspapers here have been devoured for news o' the exile's wanderings and of the success of attempted fili busters from tho United States gulf porta. Even with prison staring them In the face, soldiers and civilians bave doclared they wanted but one word to fight for their former chief. There la every Indication that the arms and ammunition for the rebels were sent out of Cuba. Castro means" light, and fight to a finish. How large his army may have swelled by tomorrow Is matter of conjecture based upon how long II will take recruits to sail to Castil letas. Castro landed at Castilletas, on Gejira Peninsula, the territory which was In dispute between Colombia and Venezuela. This territory is Inac cessible except by ship, and a com paratively small force could hold it against all comers. Castro Is safe so long as he remains here, but the gov ernment knows he will not do that, and It Is likely that the first trouble will occur In Falcon Province. In the meantime the Castro forces have everything to hope for from their allies In Cuba. With a revolu tlon on that Island probable. If not Imminent, and the whole country ex cited, plans are progressing steadily to ship out ammunition to this state. How Castro landed is yet a myBtery. Whence he came cannot be stated. Caracas, Venezuela. The govern ment has not yet been able to con firm that Clprlano Castro has landed In Venezuela,- or In neighboring ter ritory. It Is not considered possible that the ex-President, even 'If he hna seMired a foothold In Venezuela, hns been able to get anv considerable number of men behind him. Never theless, troops have already been dis patched to the Gulf of Maracalbo. Castro Is reported to have made his landing on the Gonjlra Peninsula, Colombia, which forms the western headland of tho Gulf of Maracalbo.
