Justice For Cuba

Cuban newspapers latest to hand show
how high are the hopes rs sed in the island
by the words of Secretary Root and Pres
ident Roosevelt, and how doubly crushing
will be the disappointment if it now comes.
Even the cautious and somewhat cynical
sDiario de Ia Marina", peculiarly Spsuish
paper, still loyal to thu Spanish name, halls
the nescs from the United States as highly
s'favorable" to Cuba's commercial aspira.
tions. Indeed, the Cuban press cannot
understand how measure energeticslly
urged by the Secretary of War and the
President can fail to become lao. If it
does tail; after all that has been said the
Cubans cannot be blamed for thinking that
the American authorities either have been
playing a double game with them, or are
rulers pitiully shorn of real power. There
8 40 doubt that the Administration will
have to make hard fight to wiring Justice
Tor Cuba from a reluctant and protection
p.cked Congress. 1t must make it, how.
ever. President Roosevelt has put his hand
to the plough, and cannot look back.
Whether his plan contemplates merely q
temporary suspension of duties on Cuban
products, or a permanent arrangement for
reciprocal trade, he is bouud to use all the
lawful authority of his office to compel Con.
grsss to act. Ii frank appeal to pubic
opinion is necessary in order to lead Oon
gress up to the scratch, he should not fail to
resort to that. A great nation which went
to war to redress Cuban grievances must
not create new ones of its OVID.

first maxims of politeness not to call upon
those who do not enjoy seeing you.
President Roosevelt has also closed the
gates to the grounds on the south Of the

entire north front of the White House open
TO the public all ths time, for seven days in
The week, and with the East room and its
approaches open from ten till two each day,
and with oDe-thirds Of the second floor oc-
cupied by official business and callers, the
Presldenps family is entitled to the little
privacy afforded by :he grounds on the sou.k
ern slope, toward the monument and the

To make things worse, the approach Of
the Presidential election is causing nervous

grows more intense every day, and several
leaders predict that bloodshed will be the
ou'come. The candidate OF the Republican
party is Maxlmo Fernandez. The National
party's candidate is Ascencion Esquiyel.

of the Kiowa country and it is the inten-
tiou of the school land board to place
thsl land on the market just as 500 mas
possible The board began its business

lations covering the leasing.

failed to draw claims are interesting
themselves in the land and VIII attempt
to secure some Of it. People who secured
claims near a school section are thinking
about some Of this land. and viii secure
quarters If it is possible to do so.
The board adjourned without adopting
rules. 4 meeting viii be held in the next
few days to decide definitely on the leas-
ing rules.
