on the Star Course Friday night. as a
substitute for Robert j. Burdette, has
created a large interest in our city and
from the way the hall chart is marked up,
II Is easy to see that she will have n very
large audience. 1t is certain that she will
deserve the same, for her testimcn mails
are unquestiouably the strongest that can
be presented by any living impersona-

In speaking of her work the Demorest
Magazine, OF New York, says:

senator. has just returned from abroad
Her representations Of celebrities are as
popular as ever, and she Is constantly
adding new characters TO her already rich

this reason many whom she impersonates
have given he especial studies. Drs. PARK

Hung Chang are among her most recent
and popular studies.

THE TRUE THEORY or THE CASE

If this country is to intervene in Cuban
affairs at all, the resolution which the
Republican members Of the Foreign At
fairs Committee of the House were re.
ported 20 have agreed to late Tuesday
night is the true theory of intervention
II reads as follows:
"The President is authorized. directed
and empowered TO intervene at once TO
restore peace on the island OF Cuba. and
secure TO the people thereof q firm, stable
and independent government of their own
and is authorized to use the army and
naval forces of the United States 10
secure this end"
il will be perceived that this resolution
does not make this country recognize the
Independence of the present insurgent
government Of Cuba, and it seems to The
Times that if Congress should do that
IL would be impossible for this government
to fire "a shot against Spain i'm behalf Of
the Cubans. To acknowledge the indepen-
dence OF tho insureent government is 10
say that SPANS control over the island
has wholly ended and that a new power
has come upon the earth into the family
Of nations. We have no. alliance with that
new power authorizing US or calling upon
us TO aid it lighting its battles and
the traditions policy of the government
would forbid MS TO make any such alli-
anco with that new power If it solicited
one at our hands
From the standpoint Of the lingo, there
fore 90 acknowledge the independence
Of the insurgent government would create
case Of felo dc Sc. The moment its in
dependence was acknowledged we should
be compelled to leave It 10 fight out its
own battles. and If Spain should ultimate
IS succeed in ovorthrow!ne it and sun
pressing the Instruction the last estate
Of the Cubans would be worse than the
first.
The only theory upon which We can
interfere in the matter is the one pre-
sumably at the bottom Of the resolution
quoted, namely: That the present condl-
ton Of things in Cuba is a scandal 70
mankind and civilization and n nuisance
az our own doorsr which we have an in
hercnt right 10 abate. Whether the
scandal TO mankind and the nuisance AZ
our doors have assumed proportions vet
that justify US IN taking an active part
is a question upon which men may and
will differ. But OF the ultimate right
there can be no two opinions All men

u,iu aoree that a state OF affairs may
arise in adjacent territory that will au-
thorize another nation TO interfere ana
nut an end to existing conditions. II Ger
many should establish An, hstitution at
the border OF French territory which was
IN effect nothing but n colossal facto1y
for breeding contagious diseases that
threatened 70 depopulate France. all
mankind would agree that France had
right to march across the border and de-
stroy the institution, and, II that caused
war between France and Germany the
civilized world would hold France blame
less. As we have said. men will differ IN
opinion upon the question whether such
a state OF affairs has yet arisen In Cuba
as iustihes our Intervention. But no man
will deny that a condition might arise
there that would justify our interference
upon principles OF self preservation, and,
Il the majority of our Congress say that
condition has now arisen all Americans
must accept their judgment as hnal' aLo'
subordinating their own private judgment
in the matter, all must unite together ana
maintain the verdict pronounced with all
the power Of the nation
The resolution quoted is plainly con-
ceived i'm this view Of the case. 1t ignores
the existing insurrectionary government
and directs the President to use the army
and navy of the country to restore peace
in Cuba and to secure TO the people OF
the island a stable and independent gov
eminent. That keeps us clear OF any
question of entangling alliances ana
places our interference If we make any
upon the iustfable ground that our own
peace and order require us to put an end
10 the disorder raging upon our borders
II we must have war we hope all parties
will keep this idea distinctly before their
minds end then they will run no risk OF
being led of into schemes Of self as-
grandizement. It will be clearly under
stood that we are fighting to produce
neace and order in Cuba simply and that
the United States have no purpose ulti-
mate or near. to benefit themselves by ac-
curing the property Of Spain.
