GENERAL WOOD ON
CUBAN EXPENSES
Only Question, He Says, IS
Whether Authorized.
APPROVAL OF PRESIDENT

Gen. Leonard Wood called at the War
Department this morning to pay his re
spects to Secretary Root. Asked in re-
gard to the charges Of extravaganza in
his administration in Cuba. he said:
'All OF the expenditures were author
lied and it now becomes merely ques-
ton of authority just as it was at Buff
falo. and has been on numerous coca
sions.
1t seems to me that in this instance
the authority was the best, thas Of the

the instalIments in which said az ass
ments were payable. I have the honor
to inC1Cse herewith provision vbjcF,
viii relieve the situation.
The court held that the assessments
were valid liens. and not affected bv the
failure to specifically provide for the in
stallment period. You will observe that
in the inclosed draft [ have suggested
five annual tnstallmehts. this being the
provision in the acts of June. 1900.
The draft referred to follows:
In all eases where the assessments
for benefits for street extensions have
been or may hereafter be levied nav
ment of the same shall be made in fvo
equal annual installmeutS. with interest
i the rate Of I per cent per annun
from and after sixty days after the con
fTmati0n of the verdict and award. Pro
vided. That the amount of any paymen.
Of any instaIlment or instalIments here
tofore made on account of any such as
sessment shall he credited thereon. and
the balance shall be due and payable in
the installments and with the interest a.
herein provided"
The Solicitor also inclosed a clause
relating to the deduction of the benefit
assessment from the award for damages
Both Of these items are included in
House bill Il. 400, recently amended and
reported TO the Senate by its commit
tee and Mr.. DuvalI says they could be
there inserted
The clause provides that In all cases
OF payments the accounting officers shall
take into account the assessment for
benefits and the award for damages,
and shall pay only such part OF said
award in respect of any lot as may be
in excess OF the assessment for bene-
fits against the part of such lot not
taken. and there shall be credited On
said assessment the amount of said
award not in excess OF said assessment"

FEAR A LABOR TRUST.
Financiers Somewhat Worried Over
Labor Irouhies in the West

New York, Oct. RETROSPECTIVE
labor troubles in the west are giving
considerable concern to financial in
terests here. Demands are expected
Ito be made on certain western railroad
systems and the results are not con-
templated with any degree of serenity.
The anthracite strike caused dis
tinct lar and suggested possibilities OF
a growing influence by labor organiza-
TONS
The growth in strength and success
Of unionism is considered a menace so
long as no better way Of ending diff
culties exists than the methods now
obtaining. 1t is not question of a
reasonable increase In wages. The
root of the matter lies in the DISPOSE
ton, according to precedent, Of union
ism to be carried too far when too Iona
successful. To date there is no way
OF holding union to Its contracts.
while business corporations employing
labor are responsible in the courts.
No doubt is entertained that unioa
which tied up the anthracite coal IN
dustry as effectively as could have
been done by the coal carrying roads
closing down the mines is as menac-
ing trust as is the rich corporation
One is responsible however, and the
other is not. Both are guided by the
same human principle Of trying to
win victory. But in doing so, finan-
cial responsibilities attach to only one
of the parties to the controversy.
Western people do not seem to at
tach the same Importance to the growth
Of unionism as obtains here in the east

DUTIES OF THE PRESIDENT.
An Article Written by Roosevelt Be-
fore He Was President.


Boston, Oct. 30.TIn an article written
for the Youths Companion, which VIII
be published next week, President
Roosevelt gives his ideas of the duties
and responsibilities of the president OF
the United States. Mr.. Roosevelt wrote
the article in 1900 while he was gov
ernor of New York and previous 70 the
republican national convention whlch
nominated him for vice president.
In it Mr.. Roosevelt says:
"Altho many men must share with
the presidents responsibility, there is
upon him always heavy burden OF re-
sponsibility. 1t is easy enough to give
Ii bad administration, but to give good
administration demands the most anx-
ious thought no less than very unusual
powers of mind.
"There is every reason why the presi-
dent should be held to a sharp account
ability alike for what he does ana Ior
what he leaves undone. But we inJure
ourselves and the nation If we fail to
treat with proper respect the man who,
IN the highest Office in our land, is
striving to do his duty. We have had
presidents who have acted weakly or
uIlWISGIy Ill PAL eiS0tett - $500
have never had one concerning whose
personal integrity there was SO much
as shadow of suspicion.
1.-THE war depa rtment was utterly
neglected for over thirty years after the
civil war; Neither the regular officer
nor the regular soldier takes any part
in politics as rule. so that the de1na-
cogue and bread-and- politician
have no fear of his vote. and to both OF
them, and also to the cheap sensational
newspaper. the army offers a favorlts
subject for attack, SO i. often happens
that some amiable peopie really get
little afraid of the army. and have some
idea that 1t may be used some time or
other against our liberties.
1.-THE army never has been. and am
sure it never will be or can be, a men
ace to anybody save Americas foes, or
aught but source of. pride to every
good and r-sighted American.
Altogether, there arc few harder
tasks than that of filling we'll and ably
the office of president of the United
States But If the man at the close OF
his term is able to feel that he has
cone his duty WELL he has the satisfac-
ton of feeling that he has performed
one of the great world tasks and that
the mere performance is IN itself the
greatest Of all possible rewards.
