THEY MADE A MISTAKE.

BY the error Of transcribing the figure
SO" for "2" and giving Tama county
1000 votes too many in9favor Of holding
q convention to revise the constitution,
the unofficial figures given out Tuesday
were incorrect, and by an official check
ing up Of the tally sheets 1T has been
proved that the proposition failed by
800 votes. How the first figures were
obtained, or how the most welcome af-
ter result was arrived at is not made
clear, but SO long as the clerks certify
that the proposition has been lost we
will ask no questions. For a time our
feelings have been much akin TO the
emotions of Saumarez in Kipling's
False Down" when he learned that he
had proposed to and been accepted by
the wrong Miss Copleigh. When his
friend had explained and an accept
ance obtained from the girl he loved, he
could not have rejoiced more than do
we all at the eleventh hour correction
OF the official election returns.

ton Of the cuban problem, whether Il

ton of the Cuban problem, whether i,
will or no.
In his message to congress OF Decem-
Der 5, 1899. President Mckinley said that
Cuba is bound to us by ties Of singular
intimacy and strength, and that ..the
destinies Of Cuba are in some rightful
form and manner 1rrevocably linked
With our own" The year before ODE
cember 5, 1889, he had said also that
until there is complete tranquility in
the island, and a stable government in
augurated, military occupation will be
Icontinued.''
Upon that ground can it be claimed
that this sound traditional policy of the
United States Of America in regard to
the island OF Cuba, founded upon rea-
cons of self-defence, shall now be
changed into new one, full of the
same perplexities and dangers which,
American statesmen, ever since 1909.
have been endeavoring to avoid? What
solid reason can be alleged to demand
