STILL TRUE TO CDRA.

President Roosevelt's address at the
Charleston exposition yesterday was
typically Rooseveltian. 1t struck with a
firm hand the chords the strenuous presi-
dent loves so we'll to sound-devotion to
right devotion to country equal justice
to all, complete national blending, conf
dence that the republic will solve all it's
problems
In speaking of Cuba the president
uttered words that show that he has not
been moved from his correct view of our
duty to that island by all the clamor about
protection to an agricultural industry that
not one farmer in twenty knows anything
about. On this subject he said:
Cubas position makes it necessary that he1
political relations with us should differ from
her political relations with other powers
This fact has been formulated by us and
accepted by the Cubans in the Plat amend
| ments. 1t follows as a corollary that where
the Cubans have thus assumed a position O,
peculiar relationship to our political system
! they must similarly stand in a peculiar rela.
| tionship to our economic system.
| We have rishtfully insisted upon Cubs
adopting toward us an attitude differing
poAucdlly lIoHI LndS Sne ADOPTS toward any
other power and in return as matter o.
right we must give to Cuba different-tha
! is a better-position economically in her rela
! lions with US than we give to other powers
| There is enumerated the plain doctrine
| of our duty toward Cuba. No amount Of
argument and dispute should be allowed
to obscure the simple and correct state
| ment there made. In fact there should
be no difference Of opinion on such 9
question, which is at bottom one of morals
rather than economics, though the eco.
nomic consequences of the required legis.
lation will be broad
The fact Is that our national legislators
as we'll as many of our people, do not yet
understand how much our historic Ameri.
can policy needs to be altered to conform
to the changes that have been wrought il
the past four years. Much of our tariff
| legislation must lhenceforth be based or
different grounds and with different OBJ
jective from those of few years ago.

IMPROVED OCEAN SERVICE

The ship subsidy agitation may have
had good effect. At any rate there has
recently been change in the attitude of
foreign steamship companies toward
American business that suggests the pos
sibility that they have made up their
minds to be more accommodating to the
immense American trade which contrib
utes SO voluminously to their business.
An English company is giving improved
York to South Africa, and German COM
pany-the Hamburg American-has re-
Gently, much to the disgust of German
manufacturers, put on a direct and regu-
lar service from New York to the Medi-
terranean.
One Of the most valid complaints
against the system of permitting our ocean
freighting to be done for us by foreign
companies is that they deliberately ar
range their service in such a manner as
at disadvantage. 1t may be that the
wiser foreign companies, not relishing the
possible loss of a 5000, 900 900 business
through the creation of a big American
merchant marine have made up their
minds to earn their money after this and
serve the interests Of those who patronize
them.
If this change of attitude on the part
of foreign steamship companies partici-
pating in the American trade shall be-
nome panaraI thara will he loco REAGAN
than ever why the people of the United
States should tax themselves to build up
the merchant marine.

1T WILL Nor Be.


Cardinal Rampolla, according to a dis
patch from Rome, declares that the COM
ing Of the Taft commission to Rome to
confer with Pope Leo about the friar
property question in the Philippines is
1.-The greatest victory yet obtained in
America by his church, and he and 9TH
er ecclesiastics of the Roman communion
are reported to be full of hope that this
conference will 'Iead to the establishment
of permanent diplomatic representative
to the Vatican, as is the case of Germany,
with 100000, and of Russia with 9,OO0,-
900 Catholics
1t will be we'll for the prelates of the
Roman church not to agitate in this coun-
try the subject of sending an American
diplomatic representative to the Vatican
The people of the United States settled
for all time in their organic law the prin-
ciple of separation of state and church.
Our government cannot single out any one
ecclesiastical organization for official rec
ognition and favor it. 1t is positively
obligated to maintain rigid impartiality
L
strong protest from the whole country
against the payment by the government Of
subsidies to religious bodies who had
charge of Indian schools few years ago,
revealed the public sentiment which re-
sents any form Of state and church con-
nection. The resentment was born in the
| American heart and it is. likely to stay.
The proposition for the president of the
United States, the senate consenting, to
establish an embassy at Rome in addition
| to our regularly accredited diplomatic
representative to the Italian government,
| to deal with the Vatican, would be an Off
| cial recognition Of the claim of the papal
authority to temporal power, which is not
recognized by the Italian government
which is the government of all Italy. The
pope is not temporal potency and the
plea that a diplomatic representative
from this country is necessity because
there are certain number Of millions OF
adherents of the church of Rome living
on United States territory, has no weight
whatever. Might as we'll contend that
because there are members Of the Greek
church living in this country, we should
send diplomatic representative to the
| Greek patriarch at Constantinople, OF
send second permanent diplomatic rep
| resentative to the Gear Nicholas, because
he is the head of the Holy Orthodox Greek
! church in Russia and members of that
church are found in this country. The
chief objection to the proposal is that nc
such representative can be sent to the
Vatican under our system of>g6vernment
1t is a mistake for any prelate of the Ro-
man church to bring up the subject Il
is res adjudicata. It's agitation will only
engender bitterness. The church Of Rome
is in most prosperous condition in the

The business consolidation idea has now
been extended to distributors. Almost all
Of the existing trusts are made up OF
manufacturing companies. But with the
advent of the hardware trust we have the
first colossal organization of interests
that are primarily selling, rather than
manufacturing. This particular consoli-
dalton means that one immense company
will supply all of the retail hardware
dealers of large part Of the United
States. Will the next step be to make the
retailers in fact what they will henceforth
be in name,-mere agents of the trust?

WHERE ARE THE INSURGENTS Now

The hux Of events in the world and
the consequent changes make 1t delicate
undertaking for any one to say that any
judgment is unerring. A case in point:
In discussing the Cuban reciprocity meas
ure yesterday Congressman William AL
den Smith of Michigan remarked that
with "unerring wisdom the late Con-
gresham Dingley said:
Nothing can be done so successfully to clip
the wings Of the sugar trust, as to develop
our beet sugar industry and, at the same
time, confer immense benefit on our farmers
and all our people
The extent to which that conclusion
was 'unerring'' is shown by the follow
ing excerpt from a Fort Collins dispatch
| to the Denver News, regarding the sugar
trusts campaign to acquire control OF
| the beet sugar factories:
| At the meeting of the stockholders of the
| proposed Fort Collins sugar factory this AFTER
noon Mr.. Penoyer stated that 1t was case
| of sell or fight: That the sugar trust had thor
oughly investigated the beet sugar business
and had decided to engage in the industry.
| He stated that it would build by the side of
every independent sugar factory q duplicate
factory that would crush all competition
| Now, after all, it becomes plain that
the industry that was to clip the wings
Of the sugar trust is to become an ad-
junct of the trust. The 'shrewd trust off,
Gals have waited for the little fellows to
do all the pioneering, make all the costly
| experiments, demonstrate that there is
money in beet sugar-making, and then
| orc in witty
and say to the beet sugar proprietors:
'Sell or we will put, up a factory along
side of yours and run you out Of the
! business"
What warrant did Mr.. Dingley or any
| body else ever have that the sugar trust
couldn't control the beet sugar business
| as we'll as that of refined cane sugar II
! there were any attractions in it in the
way of profits? If there hadn't been any
profits there wouldn't have been any beet
| sugar factories to-day and the trust
| would not have had it's wings clipped
Now that it has been demonstrated that
there are profits the sugar trust, in
stead of having it's wings clipped
adds few more quilts to them thereby.
All OF which goes to show that to put
on a new protective tariff in these days
is to pass the hat, for some trust, to the
consumers who, though their number is
legion, are never thought Of by the max
ers Of tariffs.
The fact is that capital is so plentiful
in America and our captains of industry
are so confident of their own judgmen
and ability that almost any industry thai
has any excuse for existence in thi:
country can and will be taken up by then
and pushed to success. And if they are
slow to engage in the business and
tariff is put on to encourage the little
fellows to tackle it, it is as sure as fatf
that, if it succeeds, trust that doesn;
need and is not entitled to protection
will get the business.
In view of recent developments thu
Cuban controversy in congress is gro
} tesque farce.

''The small engine which runs on the road

An Almost Forgotten Incident.
The news was received in this city yester-
day that Chief Justice A. NJ. Kelley OF the
international court at Cairo, Egypt, had re-
signed his position. This resignation was
rendered to the Khedive of Egypt. who has
notified this government of the fact.
The vacancy is to be filled by President
Roosevelt and, as the position is regarded as
a most desirable one, it is expected there will
be many applicants as soon as the fact be-
comes known. The resignation OF Mr.. Kelley
is understood to have been due to the death
of his wife.
Anthony NJ. Kelley first came into national
prominence through his nomination by Presf-
dent Cleveland in 1885 as envoy extraordinary
| ad minister plehipotentary to Italy.
For twelve years Mr.. Kelley was president
Of the National Irish Catholic Benevolent
Union. He protested the Catholic faith. Be

did not let his religion stand between him
and his happiness when he fell In l0Ye=With

Mr. Keiley's appointment as minister to
Italy was Cancelled on account of objections
of the Italian government. He was then ac-
credited by President Cleveland as minister
to Vienna. The Austrian government also
objected. Secretary Bayard went SO far as
to say the appointment would be allowed to
stand, even though it resulted in cessation
of diplomatic relations between the United
States and Austria.

Cleveland OF further embarrassment, Mr.. kei-
