ANNEXATION

With 1t Will Come Crop Diversifica-
ton, MIR. Smith Thinks.
b. From, The Journal Bslrear, Room, 90, Poet
Building, Washssa0ton.
Washington, April LIN his speech on
the Cuban reciprocity bill last Wednes-
day William Alden Smith, congressman
from the Grand Rapids. Mich, district,
said that the beet sugar people did not
fear the annexation of Cuba. In the speech
of Chairman Payne of the ways and
means committee, the day before, annexa-
ton had been held up before the beet
sugar forces as a scare crow, but Mr.
Smith said they didn't scare worth a cent
It is his opinion, and that of the beet
sugar people, that with annexation will
come a diversified ton of Cuban crops, so
that the island will no longer depend on
one crop. This diversification will enrich
the Cubans and reduce the sugar yield of
the island. Let annexation come, If it will
come, he says.
Representatives Tawney, Stevens and
Fletcher will speak on the Cuban bill
early next week. The first two will make
elaborate arguments. Mr.. Fletcher will
talk under the FIVE minute rule.

ON THE FLOOR
Mr. Long Contributes to the Argu-
ments for Rec1prOctty.

Mr.. Long Contributes to the Argu-
ments for Reciprocity.
Washington, April 11.-Mr. Long of
Kansas, member of the ways and means
committee, who has been one Of the most
ardent advocates Of reciprocity. was the
hrst speaker on the Cuban bill in the
house to-day. He argued that the pend
Ing bill does not involve revision of
the tariff, but contended that the fate of
the republican doctrine of reciprocity to,
which the party was committed by the
platforms of 1895 and 1900 and the Nc.
Kinley and Dingley tariff acts, depended
upon the passage of this bill. He argued
that even at the reduced tariff proposed
by this bill refined beet sugar from Mich
lgan could be placed on the Chicago mar
ket for 26 cents, a hundred less than re-
fined Cuban sugar. Nebraska and Colo
RADIO beet sugar can be placed on the
Kansas City market for 10 cents hun
dred less than Cuban sugar, and Cuban
sugar cannot compete at all with It's beet
rival on the Denver market. In closing,
Mr.. Long said:
That it Is our duty to complete the work
undertaken in Cuba is recognized by every
patriotic American. We can discharge that
obligation and still do no harm to any Ameri-
can industry. Special interests have en-
deavored to prevent action and tried to alarm
congress by the cry that their particular in
dustries will be ruined If. reciprocity with
Cuba Is adopted. The facts do not warrant
this assumption; and if this congress does it's
duty, it will provide before this session ends
for reciprocity with Cuba, which will bring
happiness and contentment to the people Of
that island. further promote the prosperity OF
the PEOPLE of the United States and honorably
finish the work undertaken when the war
with Spain began.
Mr. Long met with vol1ey of ques-
tions from the opponents Of reciprocity
on the republican side. He ridiculed the
who, he said refused to yield any con-
cessions to Cuba because they alleged it
threatened the protective system, but who
deliberately proposed to adopt revolu
tionary course to take the differential
off Of refined sugar, which, he said, had
been placed In the Dingley bill for the
express purpose of protecting the beet
sugar industry.

'PINOS AS LABORERS
Gen. Macarthur Says II High Stand
ard Is Possible.

Washington, April 11.-When General
Macarthur resumed his testimony to-
day Senator Dubois asked concerning
Philippine labor The general said there
were about 400 natives employed in a GER
tain corral in Manila and that for this
work they received SIS in gold a month";
while Americans received $40. The Fill
pinos were quite efficient in this work and
this pay was so much more than they
had been in the habit of receiving that
they were spurred to extra effort. He
expressed the opinion that the natives
would be found equal to the task of Gull
tivating agricultural lands If sufficiently
paid. There were few factories in the
Islands, but he believed the Filipinos were
capable Of development as artesons. He
said:
They are successful wherever dizziness Of
touch is necessary. They are of artistic tenn
permanent, and will take high rank as artists
They are full of romance and poetry and will
generally succeed as actors and musicians
There Is no question Of the power of, the
Filtpinos as a people to reach a high stand
ard OF development in any direction.

Mississippi Valley Demand
for Revision Not to
Be Ignored
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal
Chicago, April 11.--A Washington
special to the Record Herald says:
President Roosevelt has told number Of
callers recently that he very earnestly
believed the tariff should be revised be-
fore the next presidential campaign, and
limited that he might call a special session
of congress for that purpose.
Here again there is danger The repub-
lican party may not control the next
house Although Mr.. Babcock of Wiscon-
sin has been reelected chairman of the
congressional committee and is the author
of the late lamented bill to revise the
iron and steel schedule Mr.. Babcock
without Mr.. Babcock's policy fixed in law
is not likely to have much influence upon
the voters. .lli tal>l4IN
The republicans are in genuine scare
about the next house, and this fright,
rather than an awakening Of conscience, ac-
counts for the belated talk of trying to do
something to satisfy the demand of the
people.

newborn BABE IN SNow.-JOseph
Smith rushed into the Grand Ceht, al
Station in Chicago shortly before 5
o'clock Thursday night and announced;
"There's a newborn baby freezing out
there on the snow" The men and wo-
men waiting for trains rushed out into
the cold, tearing off wraps for the infant,
but Smith was before them. Stopping
before pile of dirt on Fifth avenue,
which was covered with ice and snow
flakes. he stopped down and picked up q
little form, bundled it into his overcoat
and started back for the station. Hun
dreds of wondering eyes were turned on
the balf-frOzen Christmas mite, and II
the heartless mother had been present
the women would have torn her 10
pieces. Now the police are searching
for the mother and man and woman
companion, while the baby is lying on a
cot at st. Vincent's Hospital hanging
between life and death. While the
storm was beating on Chicago the
mother and her two friends were wan
dering the streets looking for shelter.
At the Hotel Kennedy, the clerk re-
membered the party well. They had
applied for a room, and on account Ct
the illness of the woman, he refused to
take them in. At another lodging
house the same story was told. Ticket
Collector Hurst believes from the APP
pearance of the two women that they
are members of wealthy families.
