PROSPEROUS" CUBA.

THE ABSOLUTE FOLLY of endan-
gering the infant beet sugar in
dustry OF this country, an industry
that IL worth only few dozen millions
of dollars now. but which. with foster
ing care from the government. win soon
reach important proportions, is appar-
ent to everybody. Cuba doesn't need
any relief at the hands of the United
States. 1t would not do to grant a 20
per cent reduction on imports from
Cuba because the poor beet sugar trust
would thereby be ruined. And Cuba is
prosperous, anyway.
Listen to the words of Charles NJ.
Pepper. st. Louis Worlds fair com
missioner, who has just returned from
q visit to Cuba. OF the evidences of
prosperity which he found on every
hand Mr.. Pepper is quoted as saying:
There is no exaggeration Of the dis
NAL accounts that have of late come
from Havana. Indeed, conditions
there are worse than was supposed.
The planters take a hopeless view of
the situation. They are not in a con-
dition to provide for the next crop
and many people are being thrown out
of employment. Thus the distress is
spreading. President Palma is prac-
ticing a stringent economy by dismiss
ing many from the government service
and cutting down the salaries OF those
whose services cannot be dispensed
with.
by this means he hopes 10 keep the
public expenditure within the income,
but even in this there is an element
of danger. The number of unemployed
is increased and discomfort, at least, is
liable to arise. 1t is said that so far
excellent spirit and are ready to sup
port President Palma in the naainten-
anee of order. He has deemed it nee
essary to provide against possible dis
order by an increase of the rural guard
which is to be placed under the com
-mand of General Maxine Gomez
Isn't that an inspiring picture Of
peace, prosperity and plenty? 1t is
enough to make the hearts of the Re-
publicans who have been fighting rec
iprocity with Cuba beat high with
pride over the disinterested patriotism
that has prevented them from sacrifiI :
ing their own country for a country
that doesn't need thing on earth
After all, President Roosevelt didn't
know what he was talking about The
first thing we know Cuba will be in
sisting on lending US some money with
which to pay our national debt

And there is where the farmer gets
in his blessed work. Figures taken
from a late census report show that
the farming industry in Utah is by no
means the least important of its varied
avecations. In the state there are more
than 1900 farms worth an aggregate
of over $4,000. 600. There are imple-
ments of the value of nearly So. ZOO. 900.
and livestock worth close to SCI. 500. CO.,
This makes a grand total OF well over
s75.0O0.000.
Rather tidy showing. isn't it? The
value OF the farm products of Utah
during the census year was $19 502, 051,
which Was just 237 per cent more than
the same total in 1889. In 1899 the gross
farm income was very close to s., 000,-
900, making is per cent gross on the
amount invested. That isn't so bad.
Lots of mines are doing great deal
worse every day. Indeed. very few of
them are doing as well.

DEWEY AND AeuinALpc.

A DEMONSTRATION NEWSPAPERS
are more than gleeful over Adni-
raj Deweys testimony about Aguin-
aldo. They seem to think that the en-
tire Filipino case hinges on the ques-
ton as to whether Aguinaldo is a hero
or hOrsethief. Nothing could be more
absurd Admiral Dewey has testified
that the first opportunity that came to
Aguinaldo for looting was accepted.
The admiral naively confesses that he
ate a part of some cattle that Aguin-
aldo had stolen, but he justifies his po-
sition on the ground that it was a nee
essary evil of warfare
It certainly was. No fault can be
found with Admiral Dewey on that
score Neither does anybody object to
his statements of opinion and of fact
concerning the former insurgent lead
er- Perhaps he has made out a very
bad case against Aguinaido. Whether
he has or not is for the public TO de-
eide. 1t really doesn't make the least
bit of difference which side gets the
verdict. Aguinaldo is not the Philip
pines. He is not the Filipino people.
# he is a thief, if he is traitor.
does that fact make the policy of i'm
perialism right? Benedict Arnold was
a scoundrel of the worst possible type.
He sold his country to the enemy for
moneys and position. Did Arnold's
scoundrelly crime make the cause of
liberty less just? Does any reasonable
man suppose France would have been
justified in refusing aid to the CONT
mental srmieS because Arnold was a
traitor?
Admiral Dewey very bluntfy told the
senators who questioned him that
they were making too much OF Aguin-
aldo He spoke truly. Too much was
made OF him. The issue in the Philip
pines is not a man or men. It is a
policy. That the administration is not
particularly proud OF its course is evil
denced by its evasion and suppression
of the real facts and the real issues.
Now President Roosevelt has issued a
solemn proclamation IN which he de-
elares that peace reigns in the Philip
pines. He made the same statement in
his Pittsburg Independence day speech

promises rewards for the upright. IT
Is absurd for doubters to say that the
