NEWSPAPER OPINION
Parents vs.. Children


From the St. Paul Dispatch.
The profession of parenthood is evil
IDENTIFY not a success when the license
inspector, who is also eX-Of-
flcio inspector of morals calls for
an enforcement OF the curfew
ordinance against the children
of the city. The charge is of course
against the children, which is serious
enough for the next generation. But so
far as thepresenti is concerned the charge
is much more serious as against par
ents than as against children. It is a
fact which reaches back to Adam that
children protest against conscious re-
straint. They recognize that they are
not responsible for the conditions
which surround them. and that If they
are to conform to the worlds desires
as expressed in the curfew, that desire
should by this time be expressed in
something besides an ordinance, in the
moral fibre of the race The inspector
says that these evils of child life are
not confined to the flats, but are found
as fragrant on the heights. This is the
greater evil because these dwellers on
the heights are supposed to have been
subjected to a greater degree of civili-
zatiOn, and to have suppressed some OF
the vices OF lower social strata The
cynicism becomes almost convincing
that civilization does not civilize and
that it must be on the wrong track

The University of Chicago is bent on
giving the various and sundry college
presidents a chance to startle its stu

these are Of the female persuasion. The

of the travelling educational dispensers
that slang should be encouraged that

Dr. Andrews, of the University of Ne

COHEN WILL TELL ALL.
Declares He VIII Dissorse All Tie
Knows at Trial.

Joseph Cohen, who was Jointly IN
dicted with Fred w. An1es on a charge
of extortion, now threatens to go on
the stand and tell the truth and the
whole truth without regard for conse-
ouences. His decision to tell what ne
knows, if adhered to, will, it is thought,
alter the status of the case against
Anes in a manner very unfavorable to
him. The name of Cohen has been con-
nected with the AmeS case as that OF a
man who could, if he would, tell many
things interesting and valuable to the
states attorneys; and his expressed
determination to tell all he knows has
added an element of intense interest TO
the case.
Cohen yesterday intimated that he
would be subpoenaed as witness by
the state, in which event he would tell
what he knows. He had been willing,
he said, to tell his story all along, put
everyone seemed unwilling that he
should. They had rejected all OF MS
offers to explain his connection with
the matter. Cohen said he had no con-
fession to make, as he had committed
no crime. and it was not a confession
for him to tell what he had done.
He refused to divulge what he had
to tell the jury, saying that it depended
largely upon the questions asked what
he would tell in court. He would not
hold anything back, however, as he mad
nothing to hide.
The news that Cohen would tell what
he knows was received by Col. A1neS
friends with something of dismay. The
Jury was completed yesterday and trlal

CAVALRY BESTED
BY THE INFANTRY
Exercise in the Formation and Con-
duct of Advance Guards and
Rear Guards.

FORT RILEY, Kan, Sept. 25.-To-
days army nlaneuvers consisted of an
exercise of each regiment in the form
alton and conduct of advance guards
and rear guards. Two forces, one Of
cavalry in blue and infantry in khaki
were employed. The cavalry occupied
the field designated as the enemy
country. This detachment was small
and represented the advance guard of
an imaginary army. The infantry was
also small, and it represented the adj
vance guard of an imaginary invading
army.
/ The cavalry was heavy loser in
the engag cement today, owing to the
fact that the infantry got into posi-
ton before the cavalry could dismount.
The skirnish between the advance
guards lasted several hours. The fir
ing was kept UP two hours, but the
shots were scattering. The skirmish-
ing took place a mile north of Fort
Riley and the troops were in the field
nearly eight hours.
The forces engaging in the sham
battles leave the camp early in the
morning with a full days rations and
at times eat while in action. The ar
tfllery was not used today except in
the formation of the advance and rear
guards

SUNNY CUBA HAS
IS GREAT POSSIBILITIES
Only 8 Per Cent Now Under Cultiva.
ton and Much Of the Island Is
Wild and DesoIate.

WASHINGTON, D. C.,Sept. 25--The
immense possibilities Of Cuba in
agricultural production have often
been commented upon, but no very
clear idea of the resources Of the ISL
and exists in the average Americans
mind. The. relatively small size OF
the island inclines the Yankee who
thinks, talks and works on a big scale
to regard Cuba as an almost negligible
quantity except for sugar and tobacco.
He knows Cuban tobacco is first rate,
and he knows there is a hullabolOo
about sugar, indicating that sugar is
a commodity there; but he does not
know that Cuba is fully able to feed
the whole United States with sugar,
tobacco, noIasses, tropical fruits and
such neeessaries of life as oranges and
lemons.
Only per cent Of the area Of the
island is under cultivation. Only one
tenth Of the land comprised in farms
is cultivated The bulk Of the whole
island is lying waste and useless.
though capable throughout it's length
and breadth Of supplying some Of the
imperative needs Of man under condi-
lions that would seem to promise great
profit.
The most highly cultivated portions Of
the. island are in Matanzas and Ha-
bana provinces, which lie adjoining in
the western end, while in Puerto Prin-
cipe, the large central province, culti-
Walton is comparatively slight and the
land is used largely for cattle ranches.
The crops, in the order of areas culti-
waited, are: Sugar cane, occupying
less than half the cultivated area;
sweet potatoes occupying II per cent;
tobacco, per cent. Tobacco and sugar
are grown in all the provinces.
The population Of Cuba has decreas-
ed in twelve years nearly 10000 and
figuring on the natural increase that
should have occurred, except for war
and reconcentration,, it is estimated
that the population is 100000 less than
it would have been except for the war
Spain. In 1877 the population was
1881, 6S7, $4,000 more than in 1899.
The annexation Of Cuba to the
United States, in the opinion Of stu
dents of the situation here, is a fore
gone conclusion, to take place soon
after the failure of the Independent
government is demonstrated. Cubans
holding Office DO not desire annexation;
those out of office are the submerged
tenth who have nothing to say, and
no way in which to say 1T. But with
complications arising through the in
ability Of the government to make
both ends meet, and the increase of
| debt, together with a shrinkage Of in
dustriaI development because of I'M
stable conditions, annexation would
soon become a burning issue. The
Cubans have had taste Of good times
under American rule, and the bulk of
the people like it.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Sept. 25.-Of
the ten anthracite l-producing
counties of Pennsylvania state troops
are tonight camped in five. Despite
the presence of the troops in these
districts, rioting and general lawless-
ness continues in the entire hard coal
territory from Forest City, Susque-
hanna county, on the north, to Will
Jamestown, DaupEin county, on the
south, distance of more than 100
miles, The section of the strike region
in the vicinity of Forest City, which
has been comparatively quiet ever
since the strike began, was greatly
wrought up today by crowds of strik-
ers interfering with and beating men
who had returned to work, and as a
result Sheriff MaXey Of SuSquehanna
county, tonight asked Gov. Stone for
troops to assist him and other civil
authorities to preserve peace.
AT present there are four full regi-
ments, two companies of another and
two troops of cavalry in the field. The
Thirteenth REGIMENT is eamped at
Olypbant, six miles north Of Scranton.
The Ninth is CHARTERED at its armory
in Wilkesbarre; the Eighth regiment
and the Second Philadelphia city
troop are under canvas on the top of
hill overlooking Shenandoah; one
battalion of the Twelfth regiment and
the governors troop are in the Pan
Their Creek valley and one battalion of
the Twelfth is preserving order in the
city of Lebanon, where the iron and
steel workers are on strike. If the
disorder continues Gov. Stone will be
compelled to call out additional SOL
diers.
While there has been no big general
riot, the disturbances have been OF
such serious nature as to cause the
authorities much apprehension. Every
effort is being made by the sheriffs OF
the counties affected and the troops to
prevent bloodshed. Reports are COM
ing in from every section of nom union
men and others being either shot or
dubbed. Houses of workmen have
been burned or dynamited, and at
tempts have been made to hold up coal
trains or derail them.
Coal is being shipped from many
parts of the coal fields to market, but
compared with the normal output the
quantity is insignificant. The output
for this week will be considerably less
than the average normal production of
one day, which is about 100000 tons.
The strikers claim that very little of
the coal is freshly mined, and that it is
mostly coal washed" from the culm
banks or has been stored at. various
points since before the Str1Ke peSdH.

OSCAR GREYHOUND

Cut the Record Twenty Six Minutes in
Voyaoe of 3,O47 Miles.


Voyage of 3,047 Miles.
NEW YORK, Sept. %. - Until the
arrival yesterday of the big North Ger
man Lloyd fier, Kronprinz1 Wilhelm,
the record for the westward passage
from Cherbourg to New York was 5
days IL hours and 20 minutes, made in
August, 1901, by the Deutchland, of the
Hamburg American line. Now the
glory which goes with the holding Of
the fastest westward trip from Cher
bourg belongs to the Kronprinz, her
time for the trip ended yesterday being
5 days II hours and 81 minutes, or 26
minutes faster than the Deutschland S
record.
The Kronprinz travelled 3,047 miles
at an average speed of 23.09 knots an
hour, while the Deutschland on her
record breaking trip in August, 1901,
covered 3,045 miles at an average speed
of 23.07 knots an hour. The record for
the eastward trip, which is several
hours faster than the westward, is still
held by the Deutschland as is also the
record for the highest days run, COL
miles.
/ The engineers on the Kronprinz say
THAT The engines were HOT IOFCeQ- 10
any great extent, and the passengers
say that no additional vibration was
noticeable during the trip.
Rear Admiral Lord Charles Beres-
ford, of the British navy, was aboard
the vessel, and after an inspection of
the engine room, remarked that the
machinery worked more perfectly than
any he ever saw.
When it was learned this morning
that the steamship had established a
new record, Capt. Richter and Chief
Engineer Prillwitz were congratulated
by Lord Beresford and many Of the
passengers.
Besides making a new record for
speed, the big liner brought a record
breaking number of cabin passengers,
S48 having found accommodation in
the first and second cabins. One of
them was Thomas F. Walsh, who Is
spoken Of on this side as a partner in
the business enterprises of King Leo
pold of Belgium, who, it was reported,

DEAD HORSE TELLS A TALE
Sheriffs Investigation Throws Light
Upon a Crime.

Special to The Globe.
AUSTIN, Mimi, Sept. 25.-Late last
night the county sheriff received word
to go to Lansing to investigate con-
corning some stolen horses. He inves-
tigated today and found a dead horse
with the harness on lying beside a
wagon covered with canvas. In the
wagon were a large number of grain
sacks and the other harness with the
exception Of the bride. The horse
corresponds to the description of one Of
the teams stolen at Faribault Sunday
night.
It seems that this wagon has been
in the field of Chris Nelson, Of Lam
sing town, for two days, but suppos-
ing it belonged to peddlers or movers,
no attention was paid to it. Word has
been sent to the owner of the horses
at Faribault to Identify the horse, but
nothing definite has resulted. 1t is sup
posed that the thief who left the wag-
on rode the remaining horse away and
stole the team which was missed at
Rose Creek Tuesday night.
