Cuba became free and Independent
on May 20, when General Leonard
Wood. on behalf OF the United States,
turned the island over to the Cuban
president Tomas Estrada Palma. On
that date, also the promise which this
country made to the world. when 1t
interviewed In Cuban affairs, was com.
pletely fulfilled. The United States
..ept faith In seeking. not Its own az.
grandizemcnt, but the relief Of op-
preston mt Its doors. The Joy Of the
Cubans mt their dellverance was pa.
thetic. They had struggled for years
against government which was more
Interested In what 1t could get out Of
the people In axes than In the devel.
opment Of the resources Of the island.
When the United States troops drove
that government out there were some
Cubans Of little faith who thought. In
spite Of all our protestations to the
contrary. that the change meant only
n change OF masters. But they reckon.

elected officials. who are restricted
only by their obligation to keep faith
with the United States. which assumed
international responsibility for the
good behavior Of the island when 1t
demanded the withdrawal Of Spain.
Those obligations will not interfere
with the freedom Of the island. the
dawn of which was hailed with cheers
and tears. The new nation was Mt
once welcomed Into the family Of In.
dependent governments. The foreign
warships In Havana harbOr saluted the

capital. Now II remains for the Gu.
bans to work out their own political
salvation.

that this sort OF college training sup.
piled the best equipment for success In
the battle of life. In eXpatlating upon
the chances OF the poor boy the Sena.
tor vigorously cOmbated the theory
that the modern Industrial tendencies
are minimizing his opportunities. On
the contrary. he believed that the nd.

leap Of boy who Is attached to rich
father he sald "Man's success IL
measured by the work he does, ana no.
body ever does anything except he has
to. 1t Is best for anybody who Is to
receive an inheritance Of 100000, and
best for the 100000 to have them kept
