GEN. GOMEZ

The presence in this country of Cen
Maxine Gomez directs attention once
more to one of the noblest men whom tho
Cuban revolt against Spain has produced.
Gen. Gomez IS not a native Cuban; but
his devotion to Cuban liberty has right
fully entitled him to be regarded as fore
most among cuban patriots. The honor
done him by the constitutional conven-
ton of making such provision as render
ed him 81 gible to the presidency of tho
new republic was an extraordinary one:
but it was fully merited
Amidst the succession of caIumnies aim
ed at Gen. Gomez through the American
press, the G o e never wavered for a
moment in its faith in the veteran revolu-
Zionist. In likening his position to TINT
Of Washington it was regarded as pre-
senting an extreme and untenable view.
In defending him against the charge Of
being a mere mercenary adventurer and
schemng politician it was treated by ts
contemporaries as flying in the teeth Of
facts and probabilities. Events have
shown the o b = to be right in its es5i-
mate of Gen. Gomez.
So far as is known the presidency of
the Cuban republic was at the disposal
OF Gen. Gomez. An almost certain dis
qualification created by his foreign birth
was set aside to secure his selection TO
that position. Yet he peremptorily :e-
fuses to be considered IN connection With
the office.
Throughout all the events following the
declaration of war against Spain, Gen.
Gomez remained loyal to the American
influence, while his second In command
practically refused to cooperate with the
American arms. and withdrew his forces
f""m before Santiago. While every class

NOT AL ON ONE SIDE

The opinion seems to gain ground daily
that the protected trusts will be found
all too powerful to allow any material
modification of tho schedules of the
Dingley tariff. Whether the opinion is
well or Ill founded it is certain that the
issue will be clearly made, and that be-
fore many months, whether the trust
control of the imperfalists is complete or
only partial.
The effort to crawl through the reci-
prociy hole will probably prove alto
gether futile. The question must be set
tied sooner or later; and, Judging by
the prevailing nervousness of foreign
treasury officials. the settlement will
come sooner rather than later.
The following language of DR.. Won
Siemens, member of the German relchs-
tag, IS well worthy Of reproduction here:
"German-American tariff relations
have become so strained that they can,
not be maintained much longer. The
United States eXacts high duties and re-
fuses to grant favored nation rights to
Germany, although this country has
favored nation principle. Consequently
Germany is endeavoring to arrive at an
understanding with Russia and Austria
before entering into further negotiations
with the United States"
The assurances which the administra-
ton adherents have been offering. that
there is no possibility of foreign tariff

tangible knowledge behind them. Even
If they should prove correct the false
position which the party in power oc-
cupies on the tariff will still remain
untenable for any length Of time. They
must fish or cut bait before the next
session of congress comes to a close.
1t is not so long ago that the apos-
ties Of protectionism were turning up
their noses at foreign markets What
did this country, with its millions of free
men and prosperous, care for trade with
pack of miserable, half-starved,
wretches, such as were the people Of for
elgn lands? Back to this philosophy
they must surely come. They cannot eat
their cake and have it. Friendly or I'M

rope Will make it plain before long to our
protectionist friends that in their view
international trade is unlike the handle
of the traditional jug, in not being all

ARBITRATION
OF
z nv - ia AON NSfL IL a
STRII& ES


New Zealand, that island lying southeast
OF Australia where all kinds of peculiar
animals thrive, is also the hot bed Of ad-
vanced political and social ideas. 1t is
there that the Englishmen are working
out the social problems with good pros
poets of ultimate success. Old customs
and presidents have no force in that
South sea island. Equality and justice
are alone sought after.
While the workmen and employers of
the United States and England have been
spending millions in internal wars, these
South sea people have quietly gone on
in common sense way and overcome
the trouble by means of an arbitration
law for the settlement of differences be-
tween strikers and employers. The law
is not entirely compulsory. but must be
appealed to by one of the parties in order
to be set in motion. Then it acts in the
ordinary manner Of a court Of Justice.
To come under it's provisions the unions
must register-or incorrorate-in order to
give them a legal existence. Then, when
a difference arises. on the application
of either employer or union the difficulty
is submitted to one Of the five boards or
commissions as they are called for the
purpose Of settling disputes. If either
party Is aggrieved by the decision of the
commission he has a right to appeal to
tho supreme court of arbitration, which
is presided over by justice of the su-
preme court.
All that these commissions and courts
can do Is to advise. They cannot COM
pei man to work for another, neither
can they compel an employer to employ
a certain Individual but they can make
adjustments and recommend that they
be acted upon, The law in New Zealand
has been in force for five years and
within that time no strike has occurred
During that time the supreme court has
decided over fifty cases, the result being
accepted cheerfully by both parties. This
speaks well for the theory and brings
up the oft repeated question, Why Is
''iSlS HoL Such q law IN the United
States? The New Zealand law is favor
able to unions as it does not contem-
plate dealing with anything but an or
ganized body of men. BY registering.
these unions tacitly agree to abide by
the decisions of the tribunal
The powers of the commissions are
very much the same as those of a mu-
nicipal council. Witnesses can be SUBJ
poenaed and corporations may be COM
PEELED to show up their books. This evil
dence, however, must not be made pub
lie No attorney is allowed to appear as
an advocate for either side except by
mutual consent.
In actual practice, during the last five
years in New Zealand, the unions have
been sustained sometimes and overruled
In others, but the result has been sat
isfactory to majority of all concerned.
The best comment that can be made on
the law is that industries have pros
pered and workmen have been contented
under it. There appears to be no good
reason why all difficulties between labor
and capital cannot be arbitrated with
mutual benefit.

AN EPIDEMIC UNDER CONTROL.

Tha history of the recent smallpox cpl
demic in this state is largely a story OF
intelligent. persistent and well directed
effort on the part of public authority and
of foolish avoidance and hostility on the
part of the public.
We IN st. Paul have been brought more
Immediately in touch with the efforts Of
our own health authorities in warding off
the dangerous consequences of the d,s-
ease But the gratifying results attained
| throughout the state thus far show that
our own efforts have besn paraEeled by
the authorities of the state and of the
localities affected.
The dangerous nature of the disease
is not to be judged by the proportion Of
fatal cases resulting. A true IDEA in this
behalf IS more readily obtained by ref
erence to the trouble and expense en-
tailed. The expense is infinitely greater
than the general public understands. The
labor involved has been, as is indicated
by our own experience enormous. There
have been no such unsanitary conditions
prevailing as might lead to reasonable
expectation of a smallpox epidemic. Yet
we have been through one of widespread
extent.
The lesson of the experience We have
had Is one which teaches the ind,spensa-
BILE need Of vaccination. Whether the
process is under ali circums. an5es a pre-
ventive there can be no question raised
as to its general efficiency. Without it's
application the consequences to the peo-
pie of the entire state cannot be over
estimated Nothing like an equivalent of
it as a preventive has been offered. In
deed, its opponents are left with little Of
a case to make against 1t in view OF the
results achieved.
The state is far from being entirely I'd
of the disease. But such Roadway has
been made as leave no doubt that 1t is
now under control The study of the DIS
ease progresses, and there is every reason
to believe that before long psychologists
will have discovered the secret which will
remove all doubt as to the vaccination
process being the true principle In its
treatment.

and rank of Cuban politicians has shown
dislike or suspicion of Americans, he has
steadfastly refused to become a party to
any cabal. and has urged in season and
out the acceptance of American condi-
lions.
AS long as the spirit of patriotism re-
tains it's hold on men, and courage and
uprightness are acknowledged as cardinal
virtues, Gen. Gomez will be regarded by
all who read the story of Cubas redemp-
ton from Spanish tyranny as a great
and good man.
While Gen. Gomez has shown the most
commendable desire to avoid any public
demonstration, there can be no doubt Of
the high esteem in which he is held by
the American masses, or the cordiality
of the welcome which they would extend
to him did his visit partake of the char
acter of a public occasion.

FREE SPEECH FOR THE PROBES
SOR


Every professor is at project liberty to
give dignified and moderate expression to
whatever views on political and social
questions he may hold, says President
Hyde in The International Monthly for
July. In private conversation, in re-
Spouse to inquiry from the newspapers,
even in a public speech, he is at liberty
to set forth whatever views he holds and
feels called upon to express. In doing so,
however, he should never forget the dig
nifty and impartiality and courtesy which
his position as an intellectual servant Of
the public must always impose upon him.
The question Of academic freedom, at this
point, Is generally more a question of
manners than of morals; more a matter
Of tone and temper and emphasis than of
conviction. The distinction Which Mr.,
Cleveland attempted to draw between
member of a party and an offensive par
tisan. is one which applies to this ques-
ton of a professors freedom of speech.
Membership in political party and frank
avowal of ones views on political and
social questions are perfectly consistent
with the position of professor. Neither
president nor trustee nor donor has tho
slightest right to inquire into a profess
sor's views for the purposes of discipline
or removal, nor to prevent the reasonable
and moderate expression of such views.
board of trustees have both the right
and duty to suggest to a professor that
the immoderate and aggressive and vtu-
perative retteration Of views which arc
repugnant to a large portion Of the con-
stituency of an institution, are inconsis-
tent with his largest usefulness as
professor; and if he persists in such ut
terances, to notify him to choose be-
tween the career of an agttator and
ro1afinnShin
both rights and duties. A professor has
duties to an institution as well as rights
in 1t. 1t is the duty of the president and
trustees of an institution to protect
professor in his reasonable rights, and to
insist on his regard for the duties and
obligations which his membership in the
institution involves.
