UP TO THE PRESIDENT.
The Cuban Situation Calls for Im-
mediate Action on the Part
of Mr.. Roosevelt.

President Roosevelt owes it to him
self and to the country to manifest
his determination upon fair play and
humane dealing toward Cuba by exert
ing his utmost influence in behalf Of a
sufficient reduction of tariff duties on
Cuban products to avert the disasters
now threatening that island, says the
St. Louis Republic.
The high protectionists in the Fifty
seventh congress have made this ac-
ton imperative on the presidents
part. Either he must now accept their
distinct and most insolent challenge
to a test of strength, or he must con-
fess that when matters come to SO for
midable an issue he fears to oppose
the policies of that element in his
party.
Mr.. Roosevelt cannot yield to the
pr~otectionists without stultifying him
self. He is On record as being earnest
ly in favor of affording relief to Cuba
by a reduction of the tariff on Cuban
products. If he now lodges the logic
of the situation, weakening because
his own policy is attacked by a pow
erful republican clique in congress,
the American people will be bitterly
disappointed in him. They have count
ed on Mr.. Roosevelt as having the cour-
age of his convictions. They nave been
confident of the unbending quality of
the Roosevelt backbone.
The president has it in his power to
avert the pitiful %wronging of Cuba by
this government. The American peo-
pie will stand Loyalty by him if he is
resolved to keep the national honor
clean of the stain which will else be
placed upon it by the contemplated sin
against a helpless people. His inlu-
ence as president will weigh heavily
on the protectionist clique if he is
brave enough to exert it in the open
and make a bold fight on the Cuban
tariff reduction issue. He can brighten
the pr~otectionists into rightful action.
The solemn pledge of the United States
government for just dealing with Cuba
demands this action of the president.
Mr.. Roosevelt's own utterances have
committed him to a course which
makes impossible a change of attitude
without qualification. The country
waits to hear from the president.
What is his policy to-day with regard
to the keeping of our word to Cuba?

 An early lesson in arithmetic, a writing period and delightful reading from Hia- watha revealed their careful training What most impressed me was the discip- line of the room. the naturalness of the quiet broken by the merry childish laugh when 1t was time to laugh" the inva- riably uplifted hand ana patient waiting to precede the spoken request a general spirit of obedience and confidence and cheerful willingness which gave assur- ance of the perfection of the bond be- tween teacher and pupils. Surely the roof ought not to leak over that school house, but it does; surely the walls ought not to be bare, but they are: surely the rooms should not lack ventilation, but they do. And-I have f1nished-till next time!
 Next I went to Miss Nellie Boothe's room where third fourth and fifth grades strive with appropriate lessons, and here again were beautiful decorum and reel tations that emphasized the carefulness long continued of the teacher-and here were absent too the necessities''-and cheerfulness filled up the gaps as best it can when a true souled woman is behind it.
 In Miss Beasley's room were the tots happy and fidgety, but tractable and busy, with their lovely young teacher. Again I wished as I looked around that ever one in Montgomery who is interest ed in such things could come and see" what is. and what is not. in that little room. You must see it to know it. you must know 1t of yourself and not by an- others telling even in our Christmas Ad- vertiser, to feel it humanly! You must look into the faces of the children to real ize how their mothers see in them all the winsomeness that makes our own so dear. and to realize the tragedy that dies in limiting by deprivations the possibilities of any young soul!

Returned From Slate.

Dr. E. l.. Bradley returned to Valdez last Saturday after spending the winter in the interior. He re- ports the winter as the most severe that has been known since the ad- vent of the white man into the country. Dr. Bradley, with two others. was campcd on the Chirto- china getting out wood and lumber for their summers work on Slate creek. Riley, who was lost during the winter, was in the employ of Dr. Bradley, who reports that he has never been able to find any trace of the body and thinks he must have fallen through the ice. He hunted the entire surrounding country for some trace of the miss ing man. and hired several natives to look for him hut all to no avail.
 The party successfully wintered several horses on the Chistochina without any feed whatever, except such as the country produced. and they are now in good condition. They find plenty of brush and dry grass to feed on and stand the cli- mate we'll. Dr. Bradley thinks horses and cattle could be success fully raised in the interior and that they would need no feed at all until some time in January. Feed is plenty during the summer and it would be no trouble to put up an abundance of hay.
 The natives have been very der- titute this winter, and have rcsortcd to stealing. It is reported that nearly every cabin and cache along the Chesna and Slate creek have been broken into and provisions left for this season have been taken, which will be dctrimcnt to the miners, as many took in smaller outfits than usual, depending on what they had left in their caches. They stole one of the horses from the Bradley party and killed it for food, but of course claimed he was dead when they found it.
 Some severe measures will have to be taken with the natives to stop this pilfering and no doubt some of them will be severely dealt with this season.
