Rossini is credited with the remark

voice; second, voice; third, voice in an
article in the Philadelphia Musician -
Frederick w. Root, however. declares
very sensibly: ''As more satisfactory
results can be obtained where a small
voice is dominated by depth OF thought
and feeling than where a large voice
is associated with shallow nature, /
believe the. time has come to revise
the Rossinian dictum. and substitute
the broader and truer statement of q
singers three needs as follows: voice,
feeling, intelligence" This is certainly
true Of modern music: but from his
point of view Rossini was right, too:
his music requires little more than
voice: bird might sing It.

Our Samoan Possession.

Sutulia, the Samoan island
which falls to the United Stairs
in the recent arrangement COM
pleted by Germany and England,
subject to ratification by the
United States Government, ac-
cording to the Treasury bureau
of statistics, covers but fifty four
square miles. and has only 1000
population. 1t possesses, how
ever, the most valuable island
harbor in the South Pacific, and
perhaps in the entire Pacific ocean.
A representative of the London
Times recently in Washington,
who had visited and was thoroug-
ly familiar with not only the Sa-
moan islands, but those of the Pa
cifc generally, pronounced the
harbor of Page Pago, in the is
land of Sutulia, the best in all the
and Pearl harbor, in the Hawaii

harbor, the United States thus
being the possessor of the chief
island harbors and ports of call,

ocean. Commercially the Same
an islands, singly or as a group,
are unimportant so far as their
local production or consumption
is concerned, but extremely Inn

Cubans did not know how to fill
public Office. The first thought
of the average Cuban in Office
was 10 rob the treasury for the
benefit Of himself his friends and

Cubans were illiterate. TO grant
universal suffrage to such a peo-
pie and expect them to use it
wisely was manifestly absurd. Ii
would undo all the good work
the United States has done in
Cuba. The island would soon
drift into the condition Of Haiti.
A greater quantity of hard sense
could not be crowded into the
same number of words.
That the Cuban is not fit for
self-government is more his mis-
fortune than his fault. Neverthe-
less his unftness is plain. He
has been taught to regard office
as personal opportunity instead
of public trust. To use official
position to loot the public treas
ury, to levy blackmail and to sell
justice, involve in his mind no
moral turpitude. For centuries
the Cuban has seen his. Spanish
rulers steal 40 per cent or more
of the customs receipts. He has
seen Spanish judges decide cases
for the party giving the larger

law, until very recently that. the
judge should look for his pay to
the successful party.
