Cuba is Free. The United States has
fulfilled her promise to the islanders
and to the world. It is an achievement
to be proud of this reseuing a down
trodden people from oppression and set
ting them up in business for them
selves, not only without compensation
for our trouble but at big outlay of
money and some blood. 1t is not diff
cult to imagine European nations rub
bling their eyes to make sure that they
are not dreaming. Perhaps they will
call US Quixotic but We are in no way
indebted to them for favors and will in
dulge in little eccentricities as lifting
up a fallen people for the mere love Of
it when we choose. It has been the mis-
fortune OF the Beers that they are on
the wrong side Of the world

DIsFRANCHIsED BY GERRY
WANDER

The disposition to disfranchise voters
is not confined to the south nor does it
include colored people alone in its scope.
Some Of the most notable recent in
stances Of what is virtually a dis
reimbursement of white voters in north
ern states are cited by the Washington
Post in an editorial article under the
caption Fifteen to one" which is as
follows:

men anywhere this year-which now
seems doubtful-they viii be likely to
meet that happy fortune in Missouri,

In the presidential election of 1900 the
Democratic vote was 351 922 and the Re

poruonment making any pretensiOns to
equity would have given the Republf-
cans not less than six Of the sixteen rep
resentarlVes- An appOrtionment admit
redly partisan, but decently partisan
would have provided for not less than
four Republican representatives But
neither equity nor decency was aimed
at and the consent Of the governed
theory was not in evidence. The ap-
portlonment scheme agreed upon and
enacted created fifteen Democratic dis
