Congress was flooded today with bills on all
subjects. and If that only two were from
New York. Have the nations brains moved
from the Hudson 10 the Mississippi? Why
doesn't New York lead the thought of the

The Sun replies by the assertion that the
craftsmanship OF a member is not to be
determined by the number of bills he in
troduces- But there is comfort for New

ceiyes It. He did not know that New York
does aspire to lead the thought of the

through bills and resolutions drawn at

by members from other states. An effort

The Emergency in Cuba.

The interview with Mr. Albert G. Robin
SON. the weIl-knewn journalist. which ap-
peared in yesterdays Star, is an important
contribution to the present aspect or the
Cuban question. 1t supports with hgures
and sound deductions the position taken
by the President and Secretary Root, and
shows the necessity of immediate action of
some kind in the matter of duties on Cuban
sugar and tobacco. 1t is a plea for the un-
der dog in a scuffie not intended on our
part to be unfriendly-
As The Star has contended from the first,
the proposition of commercial reciprocity
between Cuba and the United States is one
of business. and it's permanent decision must
be reached on business principles. What
ever we may be able to do for Cuba with
out injury to ourselves should be done,
ard whatever Cuba is able to offer in return
without injury to herself should be gladly
accepted. The relations between the two
countries must remain close for the ad-
vantage of both. 1t is but a few months
now until Cuba will establish a government
OF her own, and then we shall meet her in
matter of tariffs and in other matters on
lines of general and permanent co-opera-
tion.
Meanwhile. as Mr.. Robinson points out.

in the holdings The laborers in the fields
no less thanrthe owners of the plantations
upon which these crops have been produced
are depending upon profitable sales for

The market for both crops is in the United
States. and the solution of the difficulty Is
with this government Hence the PROPOSE
ton that as it is in the power of the
United States to save the day for these
people it should do so. under the authority
which makes it the trustee of Cuba.
Undoubtedly we should turn the affairs
Of Cuba over to her people when the time
comes in as prosperous condition as pos
sible. The Cubans have for long years had
what is known in this country as "a tough
time of it That time. however they have
been encouraged to believe is past, and the
future, under a new flag and new condi-
tiOns, ought to bring them peace and pros
perity. So that If they are tided over their
present straits. they will be carried along
TO the time when they will be in control of
their own affairs and in position to enter
into arrangements with us of a permanent
and mutually profitable character.

The New Executive Building.

Senator Lodges bill proposing new
executive building for the Office use of the
President follows the trend of opinion which
has prevailed for a number of months
When the plans for the enlargement of the
White House to accommodate the growing
uses to which II is today put were ad-
vanced a sentiment Immediately developed
in opposition to any changes in the outlines
of that historic structure. The American
people seemed grieved at the prospect that
the home of the Presidents so closely as
sociated with the history of the republic
should be altered at this late day. The
failure of the plans to materialze in legis-
lation during the last Congress was not
however, due primarily to this opposition,
but to the natural inability to secure ap-
propriations for the work. The lapse of
time has permitted the sentiment to crys-
tallize, until there is today little doubt that
the country will be more pleased with the
preservation of the old building than with
any changes however artistic costly.
The need of a new structure Of some
kind, whether for residential or Office pur-
poses, is beyond the slightest question. The
issue today is between those two uses for
the modern structure. The sentiment al
ready mentioned appeared to demand the
preservation of the White House as the
Presidents home, the scene of the official
social functions and the domicile of his
family. For this purpose it is probably
ample in size If the offices are cleared
away. OF course if this is done the execu-
tive building should and may be located
near by, whereas, 1t might have been pos
sible, if the residence were to be newly
erected, to place that building at dis
tance, perhaps some squares away from the
present White House.
The site named in Senator Lodges BILL
Immediately south Of the Treasury Depart
ment, is open to some objection. One Of
the chief attractions of the city In this
vicinity is the great open space between
the White House and Monument. It's use
for building purposes is to be deprecated,
especially in view Of the ample opportuni-
ties for fine sites for this purpose which
will be afforded when the avenue Mall tri-
angle is included within the park system.
A site desirable from every point Of view,
taking into consideration convenience of
access from the residence, dignity of rela-
tionship to the department structures and
architectural opportunity, will easily be
found in conjunction with the forthcoming
park improvement plans without utilizing
any of the white Lot for building pur-
poses. 1t is evident in any case that the
new building project must be studied in the
light of those plans and harmonized with

A Wise and Liberal Policy.


From the PhiladeIphia Press.
The Pennsylvania railroad has again fol-
lowed the wise and liberal policy which has
dictated ITS creation, management and fm-
provement Of terminal approaches and ia
cilities in this city by proposing to straight
en- at it's own expense, the long curve in
the twenty-third and thirty third wards at
Frankford Junction. This new route is to
be over a way already bought by the rail-
road. The street bridges needed are to be
built by it at it's own expense. In all, sew
enteen grade crossings will be saved by the
change. All damages are to be paid by
the road Councils ought without delay to
pass the ordinance to be introduced TODAY
for this useful improvement. out of which
the public will gain more than the railroad
company. ~

A BlOYY at HenalifY.

A decision just rendered in Vermont
county court establishes the doctrine that
contract between newspaper and a can
didate for office for the sale of editorial
influence in behalf of the latter is void on
grounds of public policy. This most whole
some judgment furthers the application of
the principle adopted in 1885 by the supreme
court of California, which reversed the de-
cision of lower court in a libel suit.
newspaper brought suit against one who
had publicly asserted that the newspapers
editorial influence was for sale The lower
court held that it was no more libelous so
TO charge than to accuse a merchant of Of
fering his wares for sale. The higher court
properly reversed this judgment. OH the
ground that a charge of editorial purchas-
ability directly affected the standing of the
newspaper in the community and tended to
destroy the weight and influence of it's
editorial opinions.
The Vermont case lies along somewhat
different lines. but to the same end of main
tanning a high standard Of editorial integ
rity. 1t threatens with utter loss of COM
pensation all newspapers engaged in the
practice of selling their influence and views.
If the legal foundations for this sort of bar
gain and sale are destroyed the traffic in
editorial support becomes uncertain. The
venal newspaper can no longer be trusted
to stay bought" The would-be purchaser
of editorial aid will hesitate before engag-
ing in even an apparently binding contract
for the delivery OF such goods.
The prestige OF the newspaper press as
factor in the social and political life de-
pends almost entirely upon its honesty and
its reputation. If 1t be honest, but sus-
pected OF dishonesty, it wields a weak in
fuence in the community. II 1t be dishon-
est while trusted as honest, 1t may for a
time work serious damage to the public in
terests- The prevailing tendency in Ameri-
can Journalism today is unquestionabiy to-
ward higher standards of newspaper integ-
rity, and this tendency Will be facilitated
by just such decisions as that rendered in
Vermont If sustained by the higher courts
It will strike at a corrupt practice which, If
unchecked. might soon destroy all public
faith in even the most reliable and upright
exponents of American journalism.
