The Wooden Wedding.

King Edward and Queen Alexan dra
have just entered upon the fortietf
year of their married life. The ques
tion is being agitated whether some
means may not be taken to specially
celebrate these four decades of union
following the coronation ceremonies
The fortieth wedding anniversary is
called the wooden wedding and Will
come for their majesties in 1908, and
this should be considered especially
appropriate in their case, seeing that
from old time the trade in wool was
regarded as the staple Of the kingdom,
which is typified for use even to this
day by the fact that it is the woods ack
upon which the lord chancellor sits in
the house of lords.

One of the steamers that sailed
from New York on Saturday had as
passengers five young negroes educated
at Booker T. Washington S TuSkegee

colony in Western Africa to instruct
the natives in cotton growing. This
makes eight American negroes who
have gone there in the employ of the
German government.

In No Sense Competition.

The most remarkable statement in
the testimony of Mr.. Morgan, the f.
nancial magnate, and his associates in
the suit against the Northern Securi-
ties Company popularity known as
the "merger" case, is that TO the eff
feet that it is not the purpose of
those securing control of the compet-
ing roads to prevent competition.
Owning both roads, which will be in
dependently operated, these magnates
declare that the spirit of competition
will not De checked. The public is
very slow to believe such q statement.
The Morgan syndicates are composed
of very wise men. Those of them
who are in the million-dollar steel
trust have created very general sur
prise by using their authority TO pre-
vent an advance in the price Of steel
goods when 1T could be done. and when
their competitors are anxious to do it.
The steel magnates are wise enough
to resist the temptation of larger prof
it's at once in the certainty that fair
prices and fairly large profits for years
are more desirable than exorbitant
prices and enormous profits for short
time 1t is probable that Mr.. Nor
gan's railroad magnates believe that
it is wiser to do the transportation of
several large states at moderate rates
than to check transportation by i'm
posing rates that will make it unpro-
fitable 10 produce certain classes of
merchandise. But moderate rates
maintained over all the roads of a Sec

President Roosevelt, in a conference
with number OF western congress-
men plainly stated his opposition to
some of the provisions of the irriga-
tion bill now pending in the house.
The president heartily approved OF
the general purposes of the bill, but
frankly stated that he could not APP
prove the measure as it now stands.
He is especially opposed to the section
providing for state control of the ap-
preparation, distribution and use of
the water from the irrigation canals.
The president believes that federal
supervision is essential not only to
success, but to fair and impartial dis
tribution altogether removed from
political or other considerations.

The new army appropriation bill
contains provision authorizing the
secretary of war to order the re-
examination of any officer on the re-
tired list of the army who was retired
for disability, and who, there is rea-
son to believe, is physically qualified
for active service. There are about
$50 officers on the retired list,
some of whom, in addition to
drawing retired officers pay, are
receiving large salaries for civil work.
Under the new provision any retired
officer who, upon denomination by a
board, is found physically competent
can be ordered to active service.

A New Republic.


United States government, a new
name will be added to the list of the
worlds nations. When the United
States, at the beginning of the wal
against Spain in 1898. promised tC
give Cuba to the Cubans as soon as
Spain was driven out and the work of
pacification and rehabilitation was
completed, the rest of the nations
were incredulous. Such an Instance
of national generosity was never re.
corded anywhere in the worlds his
tory, and therefore nobody outside OF
the United States supposed that this
promise would be made good. There
would be so many incentives for the
United States to hold on to its charge
after it freed that locality from op-
preston that the world supposed the
temptation in our case could not be
resisted. Moreover, the fact that the
interests of civilization and progress
would coincide with the United States
immediate material interests in this
affair strengthened the worlds belief
that we would not attempt to resist
the temptation.
The proclamation which has just
been issued by the secretary of wal
shows that the world was mistaken in
its Judgment. Seven weeks from next
Tuesday United States authority
ceases in Cuba and the republican
government which that country re-
Gently framed will GO into operation.
The permission for the construction of
that government was given by the
United States, the day for the begin
ming of the work of construction was
named by the authorities in Washing
ton, but the actual work of the build
ing of the government was done by
by the Cuban people. Though the
United States named the day for the
work and outlined the machinery by
which it was to be accomplished the
citizens of the island itself performed
it. The regime which goes into opera
ton on May 20 is a government of the
CubanS, by the CubanS and for the
Cubans. Not the slightest particle of
pressure was brought TO bear on the
islanders in forming their new political
system, except that it should be re-
publican. and the desires -Aof the
United States and the wishes of the
Cubans, of course, conceded in this
particular. AS, too, was to be expect
ed, the polity which has been con-
structed follows the American model
as closely as the difference in condi-
tiOnS permits. The same is true, in
deed, of every republic which has
been founded in the Western hemi-
sphere.
The United States freed Cuba at a
cost of hundreds of millions Of dollars
and of thousands of lives, gave the
Cubans schools where schools had
never existed before, stamped out the
yellow fever plague, flashed the light
of civilization across their centuries of
darkness, stands sponsor for the indie
pendent government which it permit
ted them to. set up, and shows an
example of national generosity and en-
lightenment unequaled in the world IS

Tuskegeeans In Africa.

LII 15OO Ohc vi Ille UcdClleTS Vi dSTl-
culture at the Alabama Tuskegee in.
stitute and three of his graduating
class went to Togo, West Africa. They
were hired by the German Colonial
Econmic society to teach cotton cul.
ture to the natives of Togo. A few
weeks ago Mr.. j. N. Galloway, the
teacher, came TO this country, and,
after a months stay, returned to To-
go, taking with him several more
young men from Tuskegee skilled IN
cotton culture. These are to be loca-
ted among the natives as model farm
ers.
Togo is a German colony about So
600 square miles in extent, on the
north coast of the gulf of Guina,
1900 miles east of Liberia. 1t is not
a white mans country, although the
natives under Germany's supervision
are orderly and industrious, and dis
posed to adopt modern methods in
farming.
Looking for teachers and trainers,
the German Colonial society came to
Booker t. Washington for colored
men trained at Tuskegee. The result
is that American negroes trained in
one Of the best of our practical schools
have gone to the country of their an
cestors to modernize the agriculture
of the old slave coast.
1t appears, from letter written by
Mr.. Galloway to the Outlook, that
two of his Tuskegee graduates could
trace their lineage back to slaves
brought in Portuguese sla. n from
this very coast, and they landed in
Togo with sense of triumph.
The colored men from Tuskegee es-
tablished their cotton plantation sixty
miles inland, found many laborers
eager to work and to learn, and the
result was so satisfactory to the Ger
man authorities that another call was
made on Tuskegee for teachers and
managers.
There is fine poetic Justice in this
going Of the educated sons of slaves,
from an institution founded by a
former slave, to the land harried by
the old traders, to become teach
ers, supervisors, everseers, proprie-
tors. There is significance in the fact,
that the TuSkegeeans 60 to Togo not
as matter of sentiment, but in ans
wer to definite business propositions
based on their exceptional fitn ess for
the work in hand. 1t is significant
also that the nations engaged i'm colon
izing Africa are turning to the color
ed men of the United States for help
in forwarding their educational pro-
jects.
The Tuskegeeans in Africa are not
colonists or adventures. They went
to the countries of the cid slave coast,
just as our engineers have goue to
Burmah and our railway builders to
Egypt, China, and South America,
because they were paid well to 60.
