Mr.. Willet said he had taken an act

other than in his own paper, and he

WHY GOMEZ WAS PAID.
Secretary Root Assumes the Full Re.
sponsibility.

Washington. June 11.-Secretary
Root has assumed full responsibility
for the payment of money to General
Gomez by General Wood during the
American occupation of Cuba, and if
Congress asks for an explanation of
the matter he stands prepared to fur
nish what he regards as the most CON
vincing proofs that the payments were
dictated by the wisest statesmanShip.
At the War Department a high otfi
cial stated the position of the depart
ment in the matter as follows:
The conditions in Cuba two years
ago were precarous. Not Il Cuban be
Iieved that the United States govern
ment ever would withdraw from Cuba.
and the half-famished veterans of the
Cuban army We're in "A dangerous
mood and clamoring for their pay.
General Gomez was the head and front
of their army, and had served the rev
olutionary cause as its principal leader
without having received Il cent of pay.
General Wood thought and Secretary
Root thought afterwards that General
Gomez was entitled to compensation;
to a home which was supplied him.
and in which he entertained his com
rades, and to an income. which last
might be set down as a small offset to
the money due Gomez from the Cuban
republic. That the Cubans themselves
regarded the matter in the same light
was shown by the passage by the pres
ent Cuban Congress. among the very
first of its acts. of a bill providing Il
liberal pension for General Gomez. 1t
is believed that but for this assumption
of the costs of Gomez's living expenses
the conditions in Cuba must have par
alleled those in the Philippines and the
United States government, after fight
ing Spain to secure freedom for the
Cubans, might have been obliged to
turn on them the force of her army.
THE necessity being present. in Sec
retary Roots view. the only other
point was the legality and propriety of
the payments. He soon satisfied him
self that there was not the slightest
doubt on that score. The military gov
ernor was obliged to assume the re-
sponsibility for his disbursements and
to exercise his discretion. General
Brooke did this, and after him General
Wood, and Secretary Root now fully
approves of everything they did. in
Guiding the payment of Gomez
1t is pointed out at the War Depart
ment as curious fact that Congress
has been in full possession of the in
formation that Gomez had been recciv
ing those payments for no less than
two years past. The War Department
that far back submitted to Congress
the full statement of all expenses in
Cuba. and included in the list was Il
statement of the payments to General
Gomez.

Huxley has wisely said that to teach our boys and girls to read
without provision for what that reading shall be is as senseess as it
would be to teach them the expert use Of the knife, fork and snoon
with no provision as to their physical food.
The old library was a reservoir concerned chiefly with catherine
material In our generation the reservoir has been changed into a
fountain. The library has been an aggressive force concerned chiefly
with giving out In this work we have forgotten that reading is NOT
necessarily good. 1t is a mighty engine exerting the most powerful
influence for good or for evil on the human mind Manv a mother
is at perfect peace thinking that her boy is on the high road TO
Heaven if only she finds him with his nose in a book, and vet we ali
know that the reading OF bad books is the surest and quickest road to
the pit.
Our library work has had to do too much with quantity. too little
with quality, WE HAVE MADE THE RESERVOIR INTO A
FOUNTAIN, BUT WE MUST GIVE ORE ATTENTION TO

volumes circulated, but how to improve the quality. excluding the
worst, decreasing the use Of the poor, encouraging the good. and aim

The refusal of Mexico to turn
Kratz, the fugitive from Missouri
justice, over to the authorities of this
country may be all right from a
standpoint Of the in~tricacies of inter.
national relationship, but it does
seem strange that in our treaty with
Mexico, especially in these days of
official boodledom, no provision is
made for the extradition Of the briber
who leaves one country to seek safety
from justice in the other. 1t is a
system Of shielding crime behind a
lot Of international red-tape that
should be done away with Or in some
manner remedied. Mexico would have
given up Kratz had the United States
government pledged itself to recipro-
under similar conditions. Under
the treaty between the two countries
this could not be done and thus a
boodler, scoundrel and public plum
derer is to go scot free because he was
apprehended on the other side Of the
Rio Grande.
