Il have often wondered" added the
officer, why burglars will take such
desperate chances, when SO frequently
there is but little TO be gained"
But We don't take the chances. -

comes after us takes the chances. He
takes his life in his own hands when

A republican congress seems to be
having trouble in trying to ride the
democratic broncho, "Free Trade, -
under the name of Reciprocity :"
Mckinley promised Cuba that the
American people could be depended
on not to violate the promises he
made. Roosevelt has assured them
that what Mckinley wished to be
done was the same as a command to
him. Still. with all the power of the
government behind him, the president
has failed entirely up to this time in
his efforts to get congress to do VIII at
would at least have semblance of
decency. If Roosevelt would strike
the chord to which the hearts of the
American people would respond most
heartily he should declare for abso-
lutte free trade with Cuba. The pitiful
thing in our treatment Of Cuba is the
fact that it is only the influence of
great corporations that prevents the
right thing being done. The people
are willing-it is the politicians who
are afraid
