ment and control of the island to it's
people,"
Nothing could be palmer in it's
meaning or more specific and binding
than this. Yet, in his order calling the
constitutional convention, Military
Gov. Wood mentioned as one of its
duties an obligation ''to provide for
and agree with the government of the
United States upon the relations to ex-
ist between that government and
the government of Cuba.'' This
language was resented in Cuba and
was much criticised here. In the

All this raises the interesting ques-
ton, is Cuba to be free? And the
New York World well answers:

what a Patent costs.

In the course of its progress through
the office up to the issue and mailing
Of n patent, says L. V. Smalley in The
Century, an application passes through
the hands of 90 persons. An applicant
pays $15 to have his claim examined,
and in case he is granted a patent an
additional fee of $40 is required. At
torneys charge from $25 up, according
to the work demanded by the cases,
and as the applications number about
10000 yearly it will be seen that there
is good deal of money to be divided
among the patent lawyers whose signs
cover the faces of the buildings in the
vicinity of the patent office.
An inventor is not required to en-
ploy an attorney, but probably 80 out
of 100 do. In simple cases where there
is no interference with prior claims an
inventor can almost as well deal direct
with the government, but in most cases
the knowledge of the lawyer is valua-
bic. He can study other inventions in
the same line and knows how to make
the claim of his client broad enough to
cover all that is new and valuable and
not so broad as to be rejected.

Kipline and tle Bin, Owner.

After leaving Vermont Rudyard Kip
ling bought a place in the little Eng
lish village of Nottingham, and in his
garden were some beautiful trees. One
of these trees, branching over the
road, threatened daily injury to the
driver of the local bus. Therefore he
and his conductor waged destructive
war on all the vulnerable twigs within
reach from the bus roof Result: A
vigorous letter of complaint from Mr..
Kipling to the bus owner, who is also
landlord of one of the local inns.
That evening the landlord laid the
letter before the select company of the
bar parlor. They advised an attitude
of calm Indifference. Also a Cresus
among them offered $3.50 in cash for
the autograph letter. Both advice and
cash were accepted.
The nuisance continuing, in due
course a second and stronger letter
followed the first. The landlord con-
yened another bar parliament, and the
second letter also found buyer, this
time at So, as befitted its increased
violence. And Boniface again "sat

IsIF FREEDOM OR FARCEe

Washington correspondents agree
that the president and the republican
leaders in congress are seriously con-
sidering the advisability of a special
session of congress to decide, among
other things, upon the acceptance OF
the Cuban constitution and 1.-THE re-
lations that are hereafter to exist be-
tween that island and the United
States.'' There is said to be strong
feeling that Cuba cannot be permitted
to assume the sovereign right to make
treaties, to engage in war and to Gre
ate a public debt. And it is urged
that we cannot retire altogether from
our protection, or until we are salts
fed that there has been established
1.-THE stable government referred to
in the Cuban resolutions adopted
nearly three years ago."
All this raises squarely and betimes
the question, is Cuba to be free? If
the pseudo-republic ordained in the
constitution now under discussion i'll
Havana is to be kept in leading
strings to this country-if it can
neither make treaties nor defend it
self nor raise money for it's support
and development without the consent
of the United States-it will not be
free or Independent. 1t will be mere
dependency of this country
What warrant have we for taking
this attitude toward Cuba, which our
supreme court has just declared in
the Nicely case, to be foreign ceun-
tryn in every sense of the term, legal,
moral and international?
The first declaration in the joint
resolutions of congress which served
notice on Spain to get out of Cuba
was this:
''That the people of Cuba are, and
of right out to be. free and independ-
ent."
Nothing can be palmer than that

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.

The most sweeping measures in the
direction of municipal ownership ever
introduced in the Illinois legislature
are now pending. Representative
Farnum, of Chicago, has introduced
in the house bill providing for the
ownership by cities of everything in
the nature of so-called "public utili-
ties" such as street cars, lighting
and heating. gas, electricity, water
and public service of similar nature.
Cities are empowered by the bill to
acquire by purchase, or to construct,
plants to supply these necessaries to
the people, and to issue bonds and
levy taxes to defray the cost. A COM
mission of five persons, to be appoint
ed by the governor. is provided, to
have supervisory charge of these pub
lie utilities, and to supervise the
practical operation of them by per-
sons appointed by the mayor.
Clayton f. Crafts has also intro
duced a bill for state control, instead
of municipal ownership, of all such
companies. 1t creates a commission
of'seven, which is given almost un-
limited control OF all water, gas, cleo
trio light. street railway and tele-
phone companies. The rates to be
charged for service are fixed by the
bill. and all net earnings above 5 per
cent on the value of the tangible
property of the corporations is to be
paid into the state treasury.

"The building of the ways for the

item, and then comes the greasing.
Every inch of timber over which the
vessel slides must be covered with a lu-
bricant. Different firms use different
substances. but soap and tallow form
the main ingredients of them all At
the Cramps we used n layer of beef
tallow and a layer of soft soap. and,
taken altogether, between 1 and ~
tons of the stuff were required to put a
move on the average battleship. The
tallow is spread on first to the depth
of about three fingers, and the work
