THE DUTY TOWARD ouBA.

President Roosevelt is most earnestly
In favor of a liberal commercial policy
toward Cuba. He believes that this is
not only essential to the welfare of that
island, but would be highly beneficial to
this country. He takes the view that
as Cuba is to be a part of u interna-
tional political system we must make
her a part of our economic system. II
ask II in her interest and l ask it in
ours" said Mr.. Roosevelt. "There is a
great market In Cuba and l wish to see
it controlled in the interest Of u W
people" In a very pointed way he
urged the expediency of caring for the
interests of the people to the south Of
us, with particular reference to Cuba,
saying that 1--WE must remember that
we can do good with ourselves perma-
nently only II we do good to those with
whom we are brought into contact; that
we must keep both facts well in mind.
We must keep our own interests as well
as the interests of the weaker people
MIOoG NtoNAn9 II AOn AhCANA ANdbAJ IA
terwoven with ours" He made an ap-
peal in behalf of reciprocity with Cuba,
primarily in Cuba's interests, but also
for our own great benefit"
1t is not to be doubted that this I'M
qualified appeal Of President Roosevelt
viii have a very decided effect upon
public opinion. Its earnestness and
sincerity cannot be doubted. No man
in the country is more solicitous than
the president respecting the interests Of
American industries. He has at all
times shown a desire to conserve those
industries and to maintain a policy
prosperity. No less than his ~predeces-
sOr he believes in protecting American
industries ana American labor. He has
stated this plainly in his recent utter
ances. But MIR. Roosevelt believes that
we can enter into closer trade relations
with u ear neighbor, Cuba, without
any sacrihce OF our domestic interests,
but rather with advantage to them as a
whole, and therefore he counsels reel.
procity, not upon any specific lines, but
on a basis which he believes will be al
once beneficial to Cuba and to our,
selves.
The question is one which stll claims
serious elaboration. There are Ameri
can interests which are deeply con.
eerned in It's determination. Repub-
lcan state conventions have with few
exceptions pronounced in favor OF reel
procity with Cuba and many republican
leaders are in accord with the presi
dent. 1t is a question that must b,
decided in the near future and it Il
well that President Roosevelt is giving
an opportunity for the expression o.
public sentiment respecting 1t Hi

AN oFr1NSlvE INQUISITrox.

A New York paper says that entrance
to that port by travellers from foreign
countries has Of late become an odious
experience. There has been much conf
plant of the offensive nature of the
inquisition on the part of agents of the
immigration bureau and some reform IN
regard to this is being considered by
the authorities. An example is given in
the case of q youth, the son Of a promi-
nent English lawyer and member of Par
lament, who on his arrival at New York
was asked among other questions if he
had ever been In jail and if he was a
polygamist. The propounding of such
questions to a boy naturally attracted
attention and when the matter came to
the knowledge of the commissioners gen.
eral of immigration he promptly de-
cided to take steps that would obvlate
such offensive inQuisition. The immi-
grafton agents are of course acting in
conformity to the law, but they are sup
posed to exercise a reasonable amount
Of discrimination in their questioning.
AS the commissioner general says, the
agents are expected to exercise tact and
Judgment in carrying out the part of
the law requiring them to ascertain GER
tain facts regarding persons coming into
the country. The absurdity, for IN
stance, of asking a boy Of 10 if he is a
polygamist is Sc obvious that there can
be no satisfactory excuse for it. The
desirability of shutting out criminals
and others whom the law excludes will
o be questioned, but the work is not
forwarded by subjecting tourists, mer-
chants and all other foreigners to ques-
lions that in many cases can be re-
garded only as insulting. "The an
archist or criminal will not hesitate to
swear falsely" observes the New York
Mail and Express. 'Their detection
must depend upon the combination OF
well-informed watchfulness of agents OF
this country in Europe and common
sense discrimination by the home Off
Gals, whose chief duty is to hold the
transportation SOhlpdhiSS " inc lull eA-
ecution Of their responsibilities"
There is very clearly need of reform
in this matter and it would seem that
this is to be properly secured only
through congressional action, so modify
ing the law that the immigration agents
will not have to make the offensive in
QUESTION now required of them.

q As pRAorlcE.

The consensus of expert opinion seems
to be that about the only merit Of the
recent naval maneuvers is in the prac-
tice which it gave to those engaged I'm
Il. 1t appears perfectly obvious that
1t proved nothing ~conclusively as to our
ability for defense against a foreign
enemy. In order to have done this the
attacking and defending forces should
have been practically equal In strength
whereas there was a wide disparity,
the defending force having ~sixty-hve
points, thus giving it a very great adj
vantage. 1t is by no means improbable
that had the force under Commander
Pillsbury been as strong as that of Adj
miral Higginson the result would have
peer different.
There is consequently no satisfactory
conclusion to be derived from this
mimic naval war and 1t seems quite
will come Of the naval and military
operations presently to take place. Such
sham conflicts may be very excellent in
the practice they afford, but beyond
this they are of little IL any value.
There can be no reasonable objection
t having them once a year, but it will
hardly be seriously claimed that they
are important as a means of demon
strating our ability for defense. How
ever, there is only the most remote Ian
ger of our having this put to the test by
a foreign enemy and meanwhile there
will be nothing lost in training our SOL
diers and sailors under conditions which
closely initiate actual war.
