Trouble Ahead i'm Cuba.

" Is GROWING palmer day by
day that we are going to have
Il trouble in Cuba. The United
States occupies under the Teller
resolution an anomalous and a perilous
position in that island. We have called
a convention of the Cuban people to
frame constitution which is to insure
a stable independent government. The
convention will be dominated by the
radical element, who are opposed to
granting any concessions to the United
States and determined to have uncon-
ditional and immediate independence
with their own type of agtators in the
saddle.
To acquiesce in such a programme
would be to defeat the very purpose
of our intervention in Cuba and to
prove perfidious to the trust placed in
us by foreign governments and foreign
interests, which look to us for the full
protection of their rights. The United
States is in the relationship of guar
dian to a minor child who insists upon
taking uncurbed management of his
own affairs and who is incapable OF
managing them satisfactorily. If We
accord the independence sought we
open the door to incalculable mischief
ana if we withhold independence until
the Cubans are ready for it we invite
insurreGtion and the taunt of faithless-
ness to a solemn pledge.
1t is clear now that the Teller resolu-
tion was n great mistake: that il
mortgaged the future in ignorance of
its conditions; that it has proved In
real fact a stumbling block to the
achievement of the ends in view. Those
who would have the United States
make duplicate of this error in the
Philippines are singularly short-sight,

Combinations of capital which con-
trol the market in commodities neces-
sary TO the general use of the people
by suppressing natural and ordinary
competition, thus enhancing prices to
the general consumer are obnoxious to
the common law and the public well
fare. They are dangerous cOnspiracies
against the public good, and should
be made the subject of prohbltory or
penal legislation. Publicity will be a
helpful influence to check this evil.
Uniformity of legislation in the several
states should be secured. Discrlmina-
tion between what is injurious and
what is useful and necessary in busi-
ness operations is essential To the wise
and effective treatment Of this sub
ject Honest cooperation of capital
is necessary to meet new business con-
ditiOns and extend our rapidly increas-
