BEGINNING THE CAMPAIGN.

The President has begun his campaign for ma
tional interest and national honor. On Thurs
day last The Tribune's Washington correspond
ent announced that such a campaign would be
undertaken, and that in his various public ut
terances during the summer the President
would appeal to the people against the unjust
and dishonorable acts Of the Boxers" in Con-
eress On Friday that announcement was veri-
fed In his Independence Day address at Pitts
burg the President devoted some Of his most
earnest and most eloquent utterances to Cuba.
He told what we had done for the welfare of
that island He told to what extent we had
kept faith with it, with ourselves and with the
world. And then he told Of the one thing we
had left undone. of the one reproach on our
Judgment and our honor. Finally. In the full
confidence of one who never doubts that right
will triumph and with the full courage of one
who proposes 10 chew TO the line let chips fall
where they may" he declared that the neg
lected duty should and would he done "as sure
as fater'
The President did not dwell alone even
chiefly on the obligations Of honor involved in
the case. That should not be necessary. 1t
would surely seem that everybody amenable TO
considerations of honor must realize those obli-
rations without argument or demonstration.
But II unhappily there are those who wilfuly
or otherwise are blind and deaf TO such conSid-
erations. and are moved only by the grosser
material pleas Of pecuniary interest, there are
arguments which should be convincing even to
them The President set them forth with adj
mirable skill He pointed ont that recent &C.
currences have greatly increased our national
interests in Gulf and Caribbean waters. The
construction of an interoceanic canal now about
to be undertaken, will still further increase
those interests. II is essential that Cuba shall
sustain a peculiar relation 10 us. She must be
I'm sense n part of the political system Of
which the United States is the head-not part
of the United States, but in international
sense tributary 20 it. This have insisted
upon in tile amendment to the Cuban constitu-
ton which we dictated. To IL Cuba has fully
and frankly agreed. To make that arrangement
we give TO Cuba special economic privileges
not given TO other nations"
The President makes no mistake In appeal
ing TO the people on that issue A sugar beet
may be big enough TO eclipse the vision OF a
Congressman. The biggest one that ever was
grown cannot blind the American nation, either
TO honor or to interest. The people of the
United States arc sensible and honorable. They
think clear and see straight They mean to do
the right thing by Cuba. They do not propose
TO starve and throttle the island and force il
into unwilling annexation as a desperate alter
native TO utter ruin. They want Cuba TO be

natures which easily adopt the bad standards

ber' may be an essentially mean and dishonor-
able boy. or may simply be acting within the

a community of boys are lost to all sense OF
right and decency. 1t may mean that their

That fault comes back to the door of the school

character of the ideals which students absorb is
as important as the character of the teaching
1t seems as if putting boys on their honor ought
to make them fair and straightforward in the
matter Of recitations and examinations, Just as
it has led them TO discontinue the rOwdyism
which thirty years ago was a student institu-
ton. Probably it has to some extent had that
effect. Perhaps. on the other hand. too much
trust has been placed in boys who have not
had proper preliminary discipline. A sense of
honor can be appealed to when it is firmly
established but it needs to be established first
1t is not entirely reasonable to turn boys out
TO make their own moral standards with temp
tations TO wrong and no compuIson to start
them right, and then expect good results Any
boys character is severely tried when he is first
thrown from home into a large school commu-
nifty, and there is some danger that the self
government idea will lead to his being put on
his own resources and treated as a man when
he is at the most critically impressionable stage
of childhood.

the discussion was a proposition that the best
horse in the Belmont stable should be run
against the best horse in the Withers stable for
$4,000 a side This friendly argument took
place in the later sixties the early seventies,
thirty years or more ago. But the race was
never run. On second thought Mr.. Belmont
was less certain that his best horse was better
than Mr. Withers's best horse. So he asked his
friend to call the match off, saying that he
really could not afford to risk much money
with the president of ferry line whose reve-
nues from three cent fares were so extensive
and were earned so easily.
Mr.. Withers and Mr. Belmont have both been
dead for many years. But the fare is three
cents still. And it is too much. The next legis-
lature should cut it down.
