TI1E OMAHA DAILY BEK: SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1002. 0 VENEZUELA FACES TROUBLE Britain and German Will Rignnuilj En foro Claims Af ainit Eepnblic UNITED STATES PROMISES NEUTRALITY Armed lilmmlloi U Sot InpoMlMa If Eanllsh and (irrmaai Are Sot Better Treated by Snath American Government. LONDON", Nov. 22. Great Britain It con templating serious reprisals against Vene ruela and according to an official statement Issued br the foreign office It acting with Germany Ic all matters relating to that re public. Whether the contemplated action Is to taka the form of a Joint naval demon atratlon, accompanied br or following a severance of diplomatic relations. Is no being discussed In Berlin and London. There Is reason to believe that the Brit Ish government has been Informed that the United States will not Intervene In any demonstration to protect the property rights of British eltlxene or their Interests In Venexuela, and it ia pointed out that both Berlin and London have a thorough understanding with Washington regarding the main features of the policy Involved which. It Is maintained, in no way en croaches on the Monroe doctrine. The Venezuelan protest against the ac tion of the British sloop ot war Fantome In entering the Orinoco river has been re celved by the British foreign office, but it la only one of many which have been com ing in for the last month. A foreign office offlclal said tonight: "We regard this latest publication as merely an endeavor to cover up the real lasues and blind the eyes of other nations to our frequent demands for an explanation of and reparation for the treatment of British subjects or their property. We have received absolutely no satisfaction, The Veneiuelana appear absolutely hope less. We see nothing for it but the most aerlous measures." SPEAKS TO VETERANS (Continued from First Fage.) administration of laws can give to strong, honeat, brave men a chance to do well. President McKlnley was elected In 196 on the specific pledge that he would keep the financial honor of the nation untarnished and would put our economic system on a table basis, so that our people might be given a chance to secure the return of prosperity. Both pledgee have been so well kept that, as is but too often the case, men are beginning to forget how much the keeping of them haa meant. When people have become very prosperous they tend to become alugglshly Indifferent to the con tinuation of the policies that brought about their prosperity. At such times as these It Is, of course, a mere law of nature that some men prosper more than other, and too often thoee who prosper lesa In their Jealousy of their more fortunate brothers forget that all have prospered somewhat. I ask you soberly to remember that the complaint made at the present day of our industrial or economic conditions never takes the form of stating that any of our people are less well off than they were seven or eight years back, before President McKlnley came In and his policies had a chance to be applied, but that the com plaint ia that some people have received more than their share of the -ood thing of the world. There waa no such com plaint eight years ago, in the summer of 1W4. Complaint was not then that any one had prospered too much; it was not that no one had prospered enough. Let each one of us think of the affairs of his own household and his own life, let each of us compare his standing now with his standpoint tight years back, and then let him answer for himself whether It Is not truo that the policies for which William McKlnley stood in ls56 have justified them selves thrice over by the results they have brought about. Rttvrs ( Prosperity. In 1900 the Issues were In part the aame, but new ones had been added. Prosperity hsd returned, the gold standard was as sured, our tariff was remodeled on the lines that have marked it at all periods when our well being was area test. But as must often happen, the president elected on cer tain issues wss obliged to face others en tirely unforeseen Rarely, Indeed, have our greatest men made Issues they have shown their greatnevs by meeting them as they arose. President McKlnley faced the prob--lems of the 8panish war and those that followed it exactly as he faced the prob lems of our economic and financial needs. As a sequel to the war with Spain we found ourselvos in possession of the Philippines under circumstances which rendered it necessary to subdue a formidable insur rection, which made it Impossible for us, with honor or with regard to the welfare of the islands, to withdraw therefrom. The occasion waa eelaed by the opponents of the president for trying to raise a new Issue, on which they hoped they might be more successful than on the old. The clamor raised against him was joined in, rot only by many honeat men who were led aatray by a mistaken view or Imperfect knowledge ot the facts, but by all who feared effort, who shrank from the rough work of endeavor. The campaign ot 'Q had to be fought largely upon the new Issue thus raised. President McKlnley met It squarely. Two years and eight months ago, before his second nomination, he spoke as follows: Ceatary ( Pre Ooverameat. "We believe 'that the century of free gov ernment which the American people have enjoyed has not rendered them Irresolute and faithless, but has fitted them for the great task of lifting up and aasistlng to better conditions and larger liberty those distant peoples who, through the issues of battle, nave become our wards. Let us fear not. There la no occasion for faint hearts; no excuse for regrets. Nations do THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL Pew People Kasw How Taefal It Is la PreservlBs; Health) at Beawty. Nearly everybody knows that charcoal ia the safest and most efficient disinfectant and purifier in nature, but few realise its value when taken Into the human system for the same cleansing purpose. Charcoal Is a remedy that the more yea take of It the better; It Is not a drug at all, but simply absorbs the gases and impuri ties always present in the stomach and In testine and carries them out cf the system. Charcoal sweetens the breath after smok ing and drlnk'ng cr after eating onions and other odorous vegetables. Charcoal effectually clears and Improves the complexion. It whitens - ths teeth and further acta as a natural and eminently aafe cathartic. It absorbs the Injurious gates which col lect in the stomach and bowels; it disin fects the mouth and throat from ths po ton cf catarrh. All druggists sell charcoal la one form or another, but probably ths best charcoal aal the most for the money Is Stuart's Ab sorbent Loseages; they are eomp:sed cf the finest powdered willow charcoal and ether harmless antiseptic in tablet form, or, rather, la the form ot large, plesaant tast ing loaeagea, the charcoal being mixed with koaey. The dally us of thess losecges will imi tell la a much Improved condition of thi general health, better complexion, sweeter breath and purer blood, and ths b auty cf it Is. that no possible harm can result from their continued us, but, oa the contrary, great benefit. A Buffalo physician. In speaking of the benefit of charcoal, aays: "I advise Stuart's Absorbeat Loaange to all patiente suffering from gaa la the atomach aai bow els, aad to clear the complex oa and purity te breath, mouth aad throat; I also be lieve the liver Is greatly benefited by the daily as of them; they coat but twenty-fin eeata a box at drug stare, and although la noma seas patent preparation, yet I be lieve I get more aad better charcoal la Stuart' Abaorbeat Loienge than la aay el the other ctsreoal tablet." nt grow In strength, the rauee of liberty and law Is not advanced by the dolrg of esoy things. The harder the task trie greater will be the result, the benefit and honor. To doubt our power to accomplish u is to lose laitn In tns soundness ana strength of our popular Institutions. We have the new care end rannot shift it. And. breaking tip the camp of ease and Isolation, kt us hravelv and hopefully and soberly continue the merch of fslthful service, and falter not until the work is done. The burden is our opportunity. The orportunlty Is greater than the burden." i nere spoke the man w no preacnea tne gospel of hope as well aa the gospel or auty, and on the Issue thus fairly drawn between those who said we would do our new work well and triumphantly and those who M vuM fall im(-ft&hlv in thS effort the contest wss joined. We won. Ana now I isk you. two years alter tne victory, to look across the seas and Judae for yourselves whether or not the promise has been kept. The prophets of disaster nave seen their predictions so completely falsified by the event that it Is actually difficult to arouse even a passing Interest In their failure. To answer them now, to review their attack on our army, Is of merely acrdemic Interest. They played their brief part of obstruction and clamor; they said their say, snd the current ot oar life went over them and they sank under It as did their predecessors who, thlrtv-slx years before, had declared that another ano greater war was a failure, (hat another ar.d greater struggle for true liberty was only a contest for subjugation In which the United States could never suc ceed. The Insurrection among the Filipinos has been absolutely quelled. The wsr hss been brought ta an end sooner than even the most sanguine of us dared to hope. Military Task Well Doae. "The world has not In recent years seen any military task done with more soldierly energy and ability, and done, moreover, in a spirit of great h-.imanlty. The strain on the army was terrible, for the conditions of ciimate and soil made their work harassing to an extraordinary degree and the foes in the field were treacherous and crjel, not merely toward our men, but toward the great mjltlturle of peaceful Islander who welcomed our rule. I nder the strain of well nlfrh Intolerable provocation there were shameful Instances, as must happen In all wars, where the solders forgot themselves and retaliated evil for evil. Every effort has been made to detect mich cases, to punish the offenders and to prevent any re currence of the deed. It Is a cruel Injustice to the gallant men who fought so well In the Philippines not to recognize that these Instances wrre exceptional and that the American troops who served in the far-off tropic islands deserve praise the eame in kind that has always been given to those who have well and valiantly fought for the honor of our common flag and common country. The work of civil administration has kept pace with the work of military ad ministration and when on July 4 last am nesty and peace were declared throughout the islands tne civil government assumeo the complete control. Peace and order now prevail and a greater measure of prosperity and of happiness than the Filipinos have ever hitherto known in all their dark and checkered history, and each one of them has a greater measure of liberty, a greater chance of happiness and greater safety for his Hfo and property than he or his fore fathers have ever before known. Every Proaslse Kept. Thus we have met each task that has confronted ua during the last six years. Thua we have kept every promise made In 1W6 and 19(iu. We have a right to be proud of the memories of the last years. But we must remember that each victory only opena the chance for a new struggle: that the remembrance of triumph achieved in the pai-t is ot use chiefly If It spurs us to fresh effortr in the nresent. No nation has ever prospered as we are prospering now, and we must see to it that by our own folly we do not mar this prosperity, yet we must see to it also that wherever wrong flourishes It be repressed. It is not the habit ot our people to shirk Issues, but squarely to face them. It is not the habit of our people to treat a good record In the fiast as anything but a reason for expect ng an even better record in the present, and no administration, gentlemen, should be judged save on only thoee Itnee. The tremendous growth ot our industrialism has brought to the front many problems with which we must deal, and I trust that we hall deal with them along the lines indi cated In speech and in action by that pro found jurist and upright and fearless public servant who represents Pennsylvania in ths cabinet Attorney General Knox. The ques tion of the so-called trusts Is but one of the questions we must meet In connection with our industrial system. There are many of them and they are serious, but they can and will be met. Time may be needed for making the solution perfect, but it is Idle to tell the people that we have not the power to solve such a problem aa that of exer cising adequate supervision over the great industrial combinations of today. We nave the power and we shall find out the way. We shall not act hastily or recklessly, but we have firmly made up our minds that a solution, and a right solution, shall be found, and found It will be. Ke Nation So Croat. No nation as great as ours ran expect to escape the penalty of greatness, for great nes does not come without trouble and labor. There are problems ahead of us at home and problems abroad, because such problems are Incident to the working out of a great national career. We do not shrink from them. Scant is our patience with those who preach the goepel of craven weakness. No nation under the sua ever yet played a part worth playing If It feared it fate overmuch it it did not have the courage to be great. We, of America, we. the sons of a nation yet In the pride of Its lusty youth, spurn the teachings of distrust, spurn the creed of failure and despair. We know that the fu ture is ours it ws bave In us manhood to grasp it. and we enter t ie new century girding our loins for the contest before us, rejoicing in the struggle and resolute so to bear ourselves that the nation's great fu ture shall even aurpass lta glorious past.
