Swapping Children.

From the Dietetic and Hygienic Gazette.
There is a pretty custom in vogue in Dem
mark. 1t appears that during the summer
holidays the Danes send the school children
of the city to the country. and those Of
the country to the city. The parents of
the country and those of the cities swap
children temporarily. SO that the city chill
dren are strengthened and made happy in
the country. while the people in the cities
show the little country people the sights
and get up festivals foS them. In this way

to the. rural districts and entertains the

Every American boy finds many uses for

Judge Jere Wilson, of counsel for defense,
who also complained of headache during the

with the knottiest legal problem when court

Guy Rye was again put upon the stand as
Justice Cole had decided the question of the
adn:issibility of his evidence, and other
similar testimony in rebuttal, in favor OF
the prosecution. The contention of the de-
fensc was that all this evidence should
have been brought out in the examination
in-chief, and that 1t was contrary to the
rules of evidence and of right to admit it in
rebuttal.
Young Rye's Testimony.
Mr.. Davis asked young Rye If among the
articles belonging to his father which were
turned over to him by the police property
clerk, Mr.. Sylvester. there had been any

THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM ON
CUBA.

The Presidents Cuban message nat
urally brings up the plank relating to
Cuba, in the Republican platform,
adopted by the national convention
held in st. Louis in 1896 and here it is:
From the hour of achieving their own
independence the people Of the United
States have regarded with sympathy the
st uggles Of other American people to
free tn mselves from European domina-
ton. We watch with deep and abiding
interest the heroic battle of the Cuban
patriots against cruelty and oppression,
and our best hopes go out for the full
success of their determined contest for
liberty. The government of Spain,
having lost control of Cuba and being
unable to protect the property or lives
of resident American citizens or to COM
ply with its treaty obligations, we be.
lieve that the government of the United
States should actively use its influence
and good offices to restore peace and
give independence to the island.
1t may be claimed that the President
proposes to restore peace, but does not
propose to give independence. OF
course if we restore peace, it is for Spain
we are doing it. The President does
not believe that the government of the
United States should actively use its in.
huence and good offices to give indepen.
dence to the island"
Platforms are framed and adopted to
catch votes, and here is an example.
Republicans abused the Democratic
party in 1896, because President Cleye.
land did not rush In and help the
Cubans. No one in the senate was
more urgent than the present Secretary
of State, John Sherman. Mr.. Sherman
delivered two speeches in the senate in
favor Of intervention on behalf of the
Cuban insurgents, and independence.
We do not hear from Mr.. Sherman
now, and the administration, of which
he is prominent part, is not in favor of
"the independence of the island"
These valorous champions have fzzed
out wotully. They are not now blowing
so boldly as they did. Their pledges
and promises are little regarded now.

ports, but gives them in the most logical
and attractive style.
In this respect, as in all others, "The

Washington, April 13,--(Special. i'm
the house yesterday the controversy be-
tween Mr.. Lentz and Mr.. Grosvenor was
a warm one Mr.. Grosvenor supplying
his want of argument by abuse. The
question as to what the President really
meant to say in his message precipitated
the debate. The message had said but
little and the only recommendation that
it made was so ambiguously put that con-
gress could not tell what it meant. Gros-
yenor supplied lot of things that it did
not say, and said that the President in
tended that Cuba should be free. The
members on the Democratic side said
that If that were true he ought to have
said so. The debate had been quite
warm, when Mr.. Bailey, the Democratic
leader, arose and aroused the members and
the galleries to great enthusiasm.
Mr.. Bailey said it was somewhat re-
markable that the President in sending
to congress one of the most important
messages upon one of the most exciting
questions which had been before the coun-
try in years, had concluded with re-
commendation so ambiguous that it
could be the occasion Of controversy.
o her portions of the message showed
that the President was master Of clear
and lucid English, yet in presenting his
recommendation he had done so in
words that taxed the ingenuity Of the
gentleman from Ohio to make clear what
he meant. If the President meant the
freedom and independence of Cuba why
had he not said so?
IL do not believe" said Mr.. Bailey,
THAT the President deliberately veiled
his meaning, and in saying that do him
more credit than others on this floor. ]
believe if the President had designed the
establishment of a free and independent
republic on the island OF Cuba he would
have said so. Why did he say a stable
government? A stable government and
an independent government are vastly

THE FUTURE OF CUBA.

In letter written by Thomas Jefier.
son in 1928 to President Monroe, he ex.
pressed opinions uron the case of Cuba
that are pertinent reading today. Mr..
Jefferson said
l candidly confess that l have ever
looked on Cuba as the most interesting
addition which could ever be made to
our system of states-the control which,
with Florida Points, this island would
give Us over the Cult of Mexico and the
countries and the isthmus bordering on
1t, as well as all those whose waters flow
into it, would fill up the measure of our
political well being Yet, as am sensi-
bic that this can never be obtained, even
with her own consent, but by war, and
its independence, which is our second
interest land especially its independence
of England) can be secured without it, l
have no hesitation in abaud oning my
first wish 70 future chances, and accept
ing its independence with peace, and the
friendship Of England, rather than its
association at the expense OF war and
her enmity.
Things are now somewhat different
from the time when M. Jefferson wrote.
Seventy-fve years have brought changes
in many ways.

ment. 1t could make desert and call 1t
peace"
No one could deny, he continued, that
the President had asked for authority to
send the army and navy to Cuba to re.
store peace. When our forces arrive the
Spaniaris will say, ave are at peace; our
arms are stacked it is the insurgents
who are at war" Then the agents of the
President would be compelled, under the
authority he asks, to say to the insur-
gents, "Stack your arms, retire from the
fields where you have struggled for three
years with fire and sword to attain your
liberty"
MARX my words" said Mr.. Bailey in
conclusion, with uplifted arm and omin-
GUS gesture, no President that sends the
army and navy of the United States to
force the patriot soldiers of Cuba to lay
down their arms will live, nor will his
children live, to survive the odium which
the American people will fix upon him. -
The concluding sentence caused an
immense demonstration and it was ten
minutes before the house could be got in
to order so as to formally adjourn. The
argument presented by Mr.. Bailey was
given much attention today, as it was in
thought Of Crafty Spain might play a
bold game and make monkey of the
President. The only thing that could be
done IL only one side was lighting would
be to turn the guns of the United States
on the Cuban patriots. The speech v i'll
change the tenor of things somewhat, but
the Independence of Cuba is what the
Presidents friends do not want at this
time, as it means a total loss of the
Spanish bonds they hold. 1t is the bond
question that is bothering them, and Mr..
Bailey's warning almost paraIyzed them.

Sheriff Zaiser has some troublesome
characters confined in the Stark county
jail Knowing this as he does he is
especially alert to thwart any attempts
that might be made to escape. The
vigilance of his as sistants has been re-
warded twice since Club Piero, Dutch
Frank and George Cole have been con-
fined in the Jail.
A second attempt was made Tuesday
afternoon by one Of this trio to make his
escape. Deputy Sheriff Harvey Zaiser is
acting turnkey during the asbence of
Turnkey Charles Doll. At about 3
O'Clock yesterday afternoon he heard
suspicious noises and listened closely for
a while. Over the noise of shuilling feet
and loud talk as prisoners walked about
the corridors, the sound of saving was
audible. Sheriff Zliser was at oncs
quietly notified and he called Officers
Rohn, McCloud and Ryan. Upon their
arrival a sudden entrance to the corridors
was made, and the saving ceased.
Walking toward the west end of the mid
die lower corridor, George Cole, who is
confined on felony charge, was seen
just as he threw something into an
unused cell. He was asked what he had
been busyiug himself at for while, but
gave an evasive answer. Deputy Zaiser
thereupon picked up the saw that had
been thrown aside but Cole claimed to
know nothing Of the tool An examina-
ton followed and 1t was discovered that
an attempt was being made to saw
through the floor to the basement, but
the work had not progressed far.
Sheriff Zaiser notified the prisoners
who stood watching operations that even
II in the basement they could not escape
and their efforts would be useless. He
further warned them that If he caught
them at any of this work again he would
lock them in their cells and thereby de-
priye them Of what little liberty he has
given them. A closer watch will be
onlinued.
