an up-to-date-they know how TO buy
goods to the best advantage-and they
have the facilities for showing and hand

intelligently as merchants in the cities

excuse for Richmond man or woman
TO 80 elsewhere for the purchase OF
supplies. Goods purchased here are quite
as stylish. quite as cheap. and in all prob
ability more reliable than goods pur-

Observation-Disclosures or CUBA.

There Is no lberty-loving American who
will not rejoice To see Cuba free and
independent. The expressions wherewith
Spain has oppressed her have been be-
yond the belief of those who across
channel enjoy the freedom of our country.
, The condition which now exists i'm Cuba
could not In the very nature Of things
be long continued. II was demonstrated
I'm that part of the Presidents message
relating to the subject. that Spain must
either treat with the revOlutionists or
destroy them and their whole country
II was this situation which made the
President offer the kind offices OF this
country to intervene and bring about
peace-a proposition which there is good
reason to think would have accomplished
all that this country could hope to do
without a violation Of international law
and a possible war with Spain.
The Senate Committee on Foreign Re-
lations yesterday adopted unanimously a
resolution recognizing the independence
Of Cuba; but stin Offering the friendly
Offices of this country to Spain to bring
the war TO a close.
As we have previously pointed out, the
effect OF this recognition Of the independ-
ence of Cuba by this country Is primarily
TO release all claim against Spain for
damage done to the citizens OF this
country I'm Cuba i'm the course OF the
war We must, for this. now look TO
Cuba, which, as far as we are concerned,
has become a free and Independent State.
The resolution does not necessarily in
volye us in war with Spain We are
neutral. though we give TO Cuba all the
moral aid and comfort which can be
obtained from the recognition Of her in
dependence And this is an immense deal.
Spain will regard this resolution as
most unfrcndly act and we will hear
much from wounded Spanish pride, and
many Don's will urge their Government
to vindlcate its honor. But there Will be
no wari The contest between the United
States. humanity and international JUS
tice. on the one hand. and Spain. cruelty
and oppression on the other can have
but one result. and that may he seen
from the beginning. The Spaniards,
though proud are not insane They know
that hal, loaf is better than no bread.
The United States may secure for them
half a loaf by themselves they will have
no bread. They will not seriously quar-
rel with their bread.

prices. But trusts are not the only Of
tenders on this score Some OF the to-
bacco manufacturers in Virginia sell fine
grades OF tobacco at contract prices.
and claim that this is absolutely neces-
sary to protect them against unfair com
petition with inferior brands.
They say that they are thus enabled
TO pay higher prices fer the fine grade
OF leaf which they use in the manufac-
ture Of their peculiar brands. and to give
better piece Of tobacco for the same
money. When. therefore. an antitrust
bin was introduced in the Virginia Leg
islature several years ago. these manu-
facturers vigorously protested against
that feature Of the bill which prohibited
the contract system Of prices. They
claimed that it would be impossible for
them TO protect and maintain their fine
brands II they should turn them loose'
on the market, and that the passage Of
the antitrust bill would be to drive
them out OF business.
Now, these manufacturers were not
operating as a trust" but as individuals.
and their case shows how hard 1t Is to
enact laws that shall apply to the
trusts" without injury to other corpo-
rations and individual concerns not com
ing under that designation. We shall
row see how it works in Georgia. The
antitrust law just enacted in that State
provides:
"Tnat from and after the passage OF
this act. all arrangements, contracts,
agreements. trusts or combinations be-
tween persons or corporations made with

A WISE AM RIGHTEOUS DECISION


Now that the Court OF Appeals has
finally passed on the election cases. The
Times wishes 70 go on record as heartily
approving the decision Of the court in the
Yost case and In the Wallace case. Tho
question to be determined was simply
this: did Yost and Wallace receive ere
votes than their competitors" There Is
TO SORT OF doubt that they did. and II was
right and proper that each should have
received certificate Of election Indeed.
II would have been a great injustice 10
these candidates and reversal of the
popular viii had the certificates hcea
awarded otherwise.
The Times believes that the purpose OF
an election is TO register the Will Of the
voters and any intervening act that
changes the result is wrong. no matter
what the technicailties may cali for.
II the machinery Of election IS 50 much
out OF gear that the votes as returned ny
