Reciprocity CT Annexation

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer DEM
The dissolution of the Cuban consti-
tutional convention on Thursday was
marked by demonstrations throughout
the island in support of a memorial, TO
be sent to Congress at Washington,
from the bankers, manufacturers,
merchants and business men generally,
in favor of a reciprocity agreement by
which Cuban sugar and tobacco will
be admitted TO the United States on
favorable terms. The demonstrations
are reported TO have in some places
developed a strong sentiment in favor
Of annexation to the United States.
There is propaganda at work both
in the United States and i'm Cuba, for the
development of an annexation senti-
ment, and the effect of its efforts wiz
no doubt become apparent before long

EWSPAPER OPINION
RooseYeIi and Love

From the n. Y. Commercial Advertiser.
When Theodore Roosevelt accepted
the nomination for governor of New
York he declared that. If elected, he
should, on all important matters, con-
suit politicians of his party and his
personal and private friends, and
should in all instances reserve the
right Of final Judgment for himself.
To this method he adhered inhexibly
throughout his term. OF course, his
consultations with politicians attracted
public notice while those with his per-
sonal. friends did not and this gave his
incurable critics the opportunity TO ex-
ercise their most cherished functions of
misrepresenting his conduct, and i'm
pugning his motives; but the fact es-
tablished by the records of his admins
tration is that hewas Oftener guided by
his friends than he was by the poliu-
clans. and that he was his own master
from first to last
That Mr. Low will keep his pledge
TO follow a like course, and that the
results will be equally beneficial to
the people, no one who knows him will
question. The Roosevelt way is an
extremely popular way at this time.
Even the critics of 1t. who adhered to
it mainly because IL was all the busi-
ness they had have abandoned it at
the imminent risk Of having to put I'D
their shutters because of no excuse for
further existence. IT is no secret that
Mr. Low is one Of the closest personal
friends Of the President and that he was
one OF those whom he habitually con-
suited during his frequent visits to this
city while he was governor. It Is also
no secret that the President, before the
death of Mr.. Mckinley, declared his in
terest in Mr.. Lows candidacy to be so
strong that he should like, in case he
were the nominee, to take the stump
for him. He is, of course, prec'mded
from expressing open sympathy with
his candidacy now, but that he is as
deeply interested in the struggle to
overthrow Crokerism as he ever was
goes without saying.
And what method OF government
could be devised that is more COM
pletely in harmony with popular. rep
Iresentative government than the
Roosevelt way?" First consult all
shades Of opinion. then follow your
own mind and conscience.

BOON THE RUBBER TIRE PROVES
TO HORSEFLESH AND HUMAI

1t has not been so very long ago when
the rubber tire for vehicles was an un-
heard of thing. 1t came as a mild sur
prise to the old blase world, which ac-
cepts wonder after wonder with a
nonchalant air and the time-worn ex-
preston OF nothing new under the
sun" But the rubber tire was new, and
the strides it has made in popular IA
vor is little short of marvellous.
1t owes its evolution to the bicycle
From that vehicle to the four-wheeler
was a comparatively easy step, and il
is not so marvellous, after all, that ii
should have come into such wide use
in a little time, when the nature and
advantages of the thing are taken into
consideration.
In the first place it encourages con-
versation. There is not a man or wo-

matters both mighty and trivial. The
use of the rubber tire on conveyances

The STORY was started by the Dover

State Treasurer is wilfully withholding
THE school funds from the various dis

from its statement that "State Treas

nominated at the Regular Republican
Convention held in Wilmington, and
uhe great difficulty the Addicks people
found in agreeing to a compromise
was over his name. But let THAT pass,
The whole hullaba1oo is knocked into
smithereens by a letter OF Mr.. Burris
to the Index. He calls attention to
several things; that the law specifically
declares that each school district shall
have raised by taxation or subscription
at least 500 the previous year for each
teacher employed before it shall be
paid its proportion of the school

specific; he shall examine the accounts
and report TO the State Treasurer.
Mr. Buiris declares that his duties
are not judicial, and that he has NO
option to change the law, but THAT
nevertheless, he proposes to find some
way of paying over the money, If pos

ployed by Hilles and jones Company,
and one Saturday night he went
cut for a good time and failed to re-
turn to work He went to Chester
and worked at Roach's shipyard and
later at Cramps, Philadelphia. Two
years elapsed and he came to Whining
ton. One morning he turned up at
the old shop and calmly went to work
at the lathe he formerly ran. When
the regular man came in and saw the
newcomer at his post he went to the
foreman and asked what he should do.

There's another man at my lathe,
came the reply.
The foreman walked over and recog-
nized the former employe. Hello
Bill" he said, "who hired you?'
Biz said: Mr.. Jones"
So HE was left there and the other
man assigned to other work. Shortly
afterward the foreman SAW Mr.. Jones
and smoke to him about the matter.
The latter knew nothing of 1t and went
to see the usurper. Like the foreman .
he said: Hello. Bill" and Bill said:

Bill?" "Wlhy, Mr.. Hilles."
But when Mr.. Jones saw Mr.. Hilles
no more light was shed on the matter.
