CUBAN CONVENTION ACCEPTS.

So far as the Cuban convention is con-
cerned, the Plat amendment is a part Of
the new constitution of the proposed Gu
ban republic. SO far as the convention
can dictate the future of the island re-
public it has placed the island under the
suzerainty Of the United States. If the
people Of Cuba can be brought to ratffy
the act Of the convention, another step
will be taken by the United States to-
ward the goal Of imperialism. Accord
ing to the dictum of the supreme court,
congress may create a colonial system,
and now we are in a fair way to our
imperial power, to spheres of influence"
and suzerainties.
The Clio b e has been in favor of abso-
Lutte annexation of Cuba or, as an alter
native. independence coupled with abso-
Lutte free trade with the United States.
This desire was and is based upon what
we deem the best interests of both Cuba
and the United States. The II o b has
heretofore pointed out that Cuba would
be worse than foolish to accept the
Plat amendment without formal guar
antee of free trade or such reciprocity
agreements as would admit tobacco and
sugar to the United States free OF duty
Should the constitution as amended by
the Platt ultimatum go through, Cuba
will have sold her birthright guaranteed
by the Teller resolution, for a mess Of
pottage. Had she possessed herself with
patience and stood pat, demanding as a
compensation for the concessions in the
Plat amendment, free and unrestricted
trade, it would have been granted Then
conditional independence would have
walked hand in hand with prosperity.
Now conditional independence will have
poverty for a companion, the chances
being ten to one that the gem Of the
Antilles under the tariff restrictions of
the United States viii sink to the almost
famine level Of the British colonies Of
the West Indies 1t is possible that in the
future, when Cuba has tired of the new
toy Of national independence, when her
cane lies rotting in her fields, when her
children die of hunger, when pestilence
steals from the swamps and when red
handed revolution stalks forth with knife
and torch, a cry for annexation may be
heard by the American people. But we
fear 1t will then be too late The open
door to statehood will have been closed
and nothing more than a colonial status
will be given her who might have become
a prosperous state.
Cuba now is at the fork in TIE read
leading to her destiny. This way les
statehood, commercial and in 1Str ~
prosperity and happiness; the other way
lies nominal independence, industrial and
commercial slavery and revolution
Which will she take? The C I hopes
that the people of Cuba viii reject the
constitution with the Plat amendment,
preferring to abide the time when annex
alton will come or independence with
free trade, we care not which, either
will make of Cuba the garden spot of
the world and save to the people of the
United States millions yearly.
The present contest is most unequal
On the one side are the trusts
and the promoters, exploiters and
despolers, backed by the powerful ad-
ministration and the regnant party
of the United States; on the other is
little Cuba, alone.

ism of the American people is profound
mystery. He cannot understand why
nation Will exhibit the most intense m
Ierest in a war, the cause of which Is
foreign to its soil and in the outcome of
which it has no interest other than that
of furthcrirg human liberty.
The Yankee has the reputation Of
money-maker; Of a man who does not
possess the fine sense Of honor that il
supposed to dwell within the many
medaled breast of the foreign born aristo-
crat. He is supposed to take no interest
in political matters outside of his bali
wick, except so far as those outside forces
affect his pccketbook- He goes abroad to
spend his money and look around. He
sometimes apes foreign manners His
daughters throw themselves with their
fortunes at the feet of worthless titled
aristocrats for the sake Of being admitted
into the charmed circle of degeneracy.
With this reputation, it is natural that
Europe should be astounded at the Won
derful demonstration of force and unity
which this nation is able to present at
every crisis. 1t is becoming pretty well
known that no matter what political diff
ferences may exist, when it comes to

a general and tactician in himself" He
may not agree as to the justice OF the
cause for which he fights, but his coun-
try's honor Is at stake, the flag leads him
on and 1t is his country and his flag.
Whence this steady fire of patriotism
this cool determination to defend tho
flag? There is no noisy demonstration
no calling upon the god Of war; but there
Is a quiet understanding that if 100000
men are needed to defend the emblem of
the republic, there need be only a call
and the men are at hand. If billions Of
money are needed the resources of this
vast domain will be offered as a sacri-
flee on the altar Of American patriotism
without a murmer Whence comes this
peculiar national condition. condition so
different from that which obtains in the
Old World? Universal education and the
fostering of patriotism in the public
schools are the prime factors Of the
proposition Our country's greatness and
it's possibilities are taught to the child
from the kindergarten to the high school.
He Learns to love the very names OF
Washington, Of Jefferson, of Jackson, Of
Lincoln, of Grant Their Hives become
his own. In his youthful Imagination he
lives their lives. Thinks their thoughts,
as they come to him purified by The
fires of time. He knows the history Of
the rise Of the republic; he is happy and
contented in the knowledge of his coun-
try's struggles and successes. His bosom
swells with honest pride as he contem-
plates the vast domain over which floats
the Stars and Stripes.
He knows the history Of the preserva-
ton of the Union, and he sees the nation
bow with respect to the SCARED veterans
Of that memorable conflict. With each
returning spring the child gathers the
choicest flowers to deck the graves Of
the nations defenders His heart beats
high and his eyes fill at this exhibition
of love and honor for the nations dead;
should he die, he would die like a SOL
dier, for his country and its flag Above
the school house floats the Stars and
Stripes-a beautiful emblem Of a great,
Intelligent and magnauimous people. He
loves to look at it's graceful folds as 1t
undulates beneath the caressing touch
Of the gentle breeze or streams proudly
before the ceaseless rush Of the hurrying
wind, a fitting emblem of mild-eyed
Peace or the resistIess tread Of martial
power. 1t becomes a part of himself and
his education. Where is there a boy who
does not burn with a consuming desire
to defend this beautiful emblem of
free and powerful nationality? This Is
patriotism - intelligent patriotism -
patriotism that needs no grandiloquent
proclamations. No leaders are needed to
stir the blood of the American citizen to
deeds Of valor. Cool and intense at the
same time, are these Americans Loyal
to their country and their flag, they
know why they fight and they love the
knowledge. On the public schools and
their fostering care, on the influence Of

a PROPER. IRRIGATION

The outcome of the proceedings brought
to test the right Of the local health
authorities to exclude from tho public
schools those children who have not com
piled with the requirement of the laws
and ordinances on the subject of vac
cination will occasion no surprise
In spite of what appeared to be an in
vasion of personal rights in the enforce
ment Of the requirement that children
seeking admission to schools should SUBJ
nit to vaccination, the Clio b e from the
outset has insisted that the requirement
was a reasonable one under all the cir
cumstances. There was involved in it a
question Of the greatest good to the
greatest number; and the jury decided
that the public safety demanded that the
opinions of the individual should in this
case be made subservient to the general
good.
1t is not too much TO say that the dis
case which has become to so large an
extent epidemic throughout q section of
pox or varioloid, must be protected
gainst at all reasonable hazards. Look
ing at the question purely from the
standpoint of public expense this much
is demanded. These VINO do not believe
in the principle of vaccination are no
doubt following out a true conception Of
individual right in refusing to submit
without protest to the requirements Of
the law, There may be, in their view and
in the view of those far better qualified
to pass on the subject than they are,
reasonable ground for the conviction that
the vaccination process is ineffective and
even dangerous; but the great mass of
testimony and of human experience
operates the other way.
The verdict of the jury impaneled in
this case, in the answers offered to the
special inquiries submitted to them, fairly
expresses the prevailing view. 1t Is by
no means conclusive unless those who de-
man6ed that the test should be made
accept the conclusion reached and de-
cline to proceed further in test
ing the question before the courts.
1t would, however, be desirable in every
sense if an appeal could be entered, and
the questions at issue be passed on by the
supreme court.
Until this is done there may still be
reason for disputing the decision reached.
But there will in no event be any 1usti-
fication on the part Of the Individual c:tl-
zen who refuses to submit to the require
ment established by law and which the
consensus Of human opinion establishes
as necessary to the public protection.

yesterday was the heaviest of the season
the grand stand at the park was never
more crowded or the occasion apparently
moro enjoyable. The spectators were sin
gularly fortunate, for the rain, commenc-
ing shortly after dinner, stopped falling
just when it was time for the music to
begin, and the second shower did not
come until the music was over and the
announcements Of the awards made.
The first band to take possession of the
float Immediately in front Of the grand
stand was that from West Superior, led
by Otto Muhlbaur. The director made a
digni1ed bow, and then the music Of the
afternoon commenced. The band played
two pieces. Bill Board March," by John
n. K1ohr. and 1.-THE Jolly Robbers Won

the two.
The Lincoln band, which was second to
play gave Battery Park" Thayer. and
"Oberon." Weber. The Flour City band
played Tenth Regiment" Hall, and
Martha" F1otow. There were no other
contestants, and this was the cause of
considerable surprise, for it had been
stated previously that several other
bands would take part. Rumors were to
the effect that those who did not take
part were scared out OF the contest
through fear OF defeat, but It is reasona-
bic to suppose that the inclement wealth
er had something to do with this. The
