pLATT's AMENDMENT.
More to BIame Than Anything Else
for the Injustice That Has
Been Done Cuba

President Roosevelt has claimed
great credit for his party on account
of what has been done by the United
States in Cuba, but he admits that
there has been something wrong even
in that great example. On the 4th OF
July, he said:
81 regret that a measure of reci-
procity with Cuba is not already en-
bodied in statute or in treaty" He
believes that the United States has
assumed obligations in consideration
of the acceptance by Cuba of the prin-
ciple of the Platt amendment, and that
in refusing to pass the Cuban reci-
procity bill, his partisans in congress
have acted in bad faith.
Cuba" he says, must occupy a Pc
cu1iar relation to us in the field of in
national politics. She must in the
larger sense be part of.the general
political system in international af-
fairs, of which this republic stands as
the head The reason assigned by
him for this position is that Cuba has
assented to that view," and that as a
consequence of this compact-this
covenant involved in the adoption OF
the Plat amendment by congress and
its acceptance by Cuba-'.this nation
IS bound to give her special economic
privileges not given to other nations
But it follows that this nation would
not have been so bound but for the
virtual enforcement of the terms Oh
the Platt amendment upon Cuba by a
republican congress and president.
Hence it is clear that the Plat
amendment, and not the denial of reel
procity, was the beginning and cause
of the injustice, since without it there

Most Expensive Book.

Probably the most expensive book
known is that which the Ameer of
Afghanistan has presented to the
Shaw of Persia. 1t is a manuscript
copy of the Koran, the binding of
which is worth $150,0O0. This bind
ing is solid gold, two and three quar-
ter inches thick; the carvings, which
are the work of an Afghan goldsmith,
are incrusted with precious stones
167 pearls, 122 rubies, and 100 dia-
monds of the purest wateer.

Firedamp and Afterdamp.

Persons who read the accounts of
the Johnstown mine disaster proba-
bly, noticed the use of two words,
firedamp and afterdamp. The first,
called by chemists, marsh gas, is ex-
plosive and inf1ammable, and being
lighter than air is apt to accumulate
along the upper parts of mine.
Afterdamp is the result of an explo-
sion of the other. 1t is odorless and
suffocating, and, being heavier thar
air, sinks to the floor.

Pen Drawing of the Elect.

Spiritually dominant is the greatest
ondition to which mortal man at
tains on earth. He who can keep his
body under, mortify the deeds of the
flesh, and keep himself unspotted
from the deeds of the world is in
deed freeman among men. And
when to this freedom he can add the
powers of a clean mind, renewed and
regal in its loyalty to righteousness,
he is greater than any man who ever
took city or founded an empirei

The Japanese Army.

The Japanese army is equipped, or
ganized and drilled like European
army, and many of it's officers have
received their education in European
countries. Consumption was intro
dnced into Japan in 1874. Every male
citizen between IL and 40 years owes
military service, which is given 3
years in the active army, years in
the first reserve, years in the ter
ritorial army and IL years in the ma
tional army. The aggregate is s,116
officers and 1858 men on a peace
footing.

She Became Insane over Cats.

Miss Rebecca French, teacher in
the public schools of Marinette, Wis,
for Is years, has been committed to
the insane asylum at Oshkosh. She
went insane over cats and. had her
house filed with the feline pets.
She insisted on sleeping with them in
her own bed and had others in the
room. Most of her time was de-
voted to lavishing affection on the fe-
lines, until neighbors called the at
tention of the authorities to her
mania.

Because He IL Single.

Kitchener must feel that it is adj
ding salt water to a raw spot to give
him only half as much as "Bobs" re-
ceived, because he is a single man.
One reason why he is single is that
the woman whom he hoped to marry
went to the altar with another fell
low while he was away fighting his
country's battles.

would have been no in tice in such
denial. And the republican party
stands charged with full knowledge,
at the commencement of the present
Cuba-American relationship, that it
could not as it has not performed its
obligations to Cuba without the aid of
democrats. Therefore, he and his par
tisans are justly responsiblef for placing
Cuba in the situa ton where reciproc-
ity or ruin is inevitable, and then deny
ing to her the one indispensable meas.
ure of relief. The presidents position
is a condemnation of the whole Cuban
policy, because it is a condemnation
of the essential and characteristic ea
ture of it, which is neither less nor
more than perfidy for plumbers sake
a policy morally on par with the Phil
ippine policy of the same party.
This policy is all of piece with
Using the funds from the Cuban treas
ury to purchase homes to the support
of Palma and the administration pol
icy Also the payment from the same
fund of $12 900 to Thurber to help
carry out the plans of the sugar trust.
Indeed, the republican statesmen
themselves are not all agreed that our
army and officials in Cuba deserve the
praise bestowed fpon them by the
president in his speech of July 4.
Nothing shows this better than a
passage at arms in the senate between
Mr.. Spooner and Mr.. Hale, which oc-
Cured some time ago, and from which
we quote the following:
ssMr Hale-I 10 not sympathize with
him in the belief that this people has
gained anything thus far in what it has
taught the Cubans. I think we would
have been better off if we had not
taught the Cubans the lesson that has
been taught in the last few months.
s.Mr. Spooner-What lesson?
ssMr. Hale-The lesson of fraud,
peculation, appropriation of revenues,
cheating, stealing-a carnival in every
| direction of corruption and fraud. 1
think it would have been very much
better if we had not taught those peo-
pie or tried to teach those people this.
I do not recognize any line of fealty to
party obligations that compels me to
| consent to the proposition that every
thing has gone right in Cuba.
ssMr. Spooner-Nobody pretends it,

There is no doubt about the pol

Gratis. The democratic policy is
against the trusts and for tariff re-
form and for Philippine freedom. If
the people really want these reforms
they will vote the democratic ticket.

ocratic victory in the fall elections
