JUDGE MORRIS ON RECIPROCITY

That was an able defense that Con-
gressman Morris made last night Of the
course of the insurgents, and more par
ticularly the Minnesota delegation, in op-
posing reciprocity with Cuba. It is the
best defense of their course and the best
explanation of their acts that has yet
been made. Probably no better can be
made.
Th e our n a l, ,notwf thstanding it's
frank difference of opinion and conviction
with the delegation, has heretofore con-
ceded their sincerity. In view Of Judge
Morris eloquent presentation of their
side of the case, we might possibly con-
cede that their course has been justified
If it were not for the now admitted fact
that the delegation are at heart opposed
to reciprocity with Cuba Had they been
devotedly committed to reciprocity and
intent upon getting it, we might have
accepted their explanations and been con-
tent with their claim that it is only
the sugar trust that stands between Cuba
and reciprocity. -.
But Judge Morris told his audience last
Cuba needed or was entitled to rec
iprocity. After such an admission it was
difficult for his hearers to accept him in
the role he-then assumed of the earnest
champion OF Cuba, desirous of helping her
but thwarted at every turn by the greed
Of the sugar trust.
He was opposed to reciprocity and
~ -1,Sex
zeal tor the domestic beet sugar industry.
But over and beyond that he was opposed
to reciprocity, he said, because he was
convinced that the sugar trust would get
all, 'or almost all of the beneht- of the
tariff reduction and, hence, the measure
would be Of no value to the Cubans.
Right here is where we differ decidedly
with Judge Morris, and it is here that he
arrays himself against the Judgment OF
General Wood, Secretary Root, President
Palma, President Roosevelt and the
Cuban planters themselves.
The latter may be expected to know
their business interests, even If the Others
do mot.
They held their sugar to the last
moment, because they knew that a tariff
reduction meant an increased price to
them.
And when that reduction was denied
there was rush to sell at prices fixed
by the sugar trust, with the result that
the net effect Of congress failure to act
was direct benefit to the sugar trust.
That isn't what anybody thinks might
be the result; that is what has actually
happened. The hostility of the insurgents
to reciprocity has already borne its rich
fruit in dement's conferred upon the
trust.
II the insurgents were SO sure that
reciprocity would benefit only the sugar
trust and not the cubans. why did they

Books and Authors
:, : PEN PORTRAITS OF WOMEN !,

There Is a deal Of enjoyment In noting how
women novelists describe their women charac-
ters. Sometimes one wonders where they
have seen such women as they describe. Oc-
casionally one is inclined to believe that no
such women could possibly have been seen
on earth or in dreams of the night. Julien
Gordon, in her worlds People, has some
interesting pictures, as: 'Still extremely slen-
der, almost to thinness, her soft white gown
fell about her like cloud. She was sitting
surrounded by scattered books in front of a
high case filled with volumes. in her old
childish fashion, on the floor Her tossed-up
hair shone in a sun-ray that illumined the
matohless distinction of her head and throat y
Mrs. Ford made few wavering steps from
side to side, then raising her diaphanous
garments whirled into space. She darted,
spun and twisted. like some spnte OF the
wold--now here, now there, swift, intangible,
a creature of air and dew. faster and faster
whirling. as II with the beat of wings. She
was petite and pale. with a frail face and a
form like that OF little boy. There was not
an ounce ,of superhuous Aesh On her. When
she grew Needless and tossed up her skirt and
her black hose shone above her slender knees
as she wildly threw herself hither and thither
in the frenzy of her excitement, there was not
a suggestion of impropriety."
stMrs. Taintor was dressed like girl, in a
faint pink fluffy stuff, which added bril-
liancy' to her complexion and through whose
transparency shone her white arms and
rounded bosom. Darling said Meg. you are
too exquisite! You look just like pink-and-
white dee cream ! shall certainly eat you
up!' - s..,..-. .-.-..s-. 49,. SIS. = .. -
"she was a pretty woman with small, re-
fined features and pair OF pensiye little red
brown eyes Her hair. OF a vivid auturn,
was shadowed by an immense hat covered
with plumes.''
.tShe was very handsome, with fne, clear
features and an air OF exquisite and aristo-
cratic virtue. Her beauty was not of the
elusive, intangible sort; it was distinct and
positive She WAS. as usual. all in white,
with white cloth cape on her shoulders. She
had tied a white chiffon veil about her long
throat, and its ends tapped in the fresh,
damp breeze She wore a straw hat with
white wings Lord Kifmaine came up. and
they talked together, her mass of golden hair
and his bright brown head In close proxim-
ity.''
These are suggestions which carry the mind
into the psychic realm from the physical
realm. After all. how much is dress to the
woman! What difference it makes how the
chiffon veil Is utilized and whether the white
arms are dimly revealed through the mist
of fluffy pink fabric or fully In evidence.

Havana, Aug 26.-Emilio Terry,
who presented his resignation as, sec
rotary of agriculture a week ago, has
decided not to reconsider his action
and will sail for Paris next Monday.
Fernando de Castro, a rich planter,
is strongly recommended for the po-
sition vacated by Senior Terry. Al
though Senior De Castro was opposed
to President Palma in the presidential
campaign, he has many friends
among government officials, and he
has been o popular with the peo-
pie since Havana was blockaded by

lars ito alleviate the sufferings of it's
inhabitants.

course of an address Senior Terry
said the only way to save the coun-
try was for all factions to unite in

eulogized President Palma and the
senate, but said the house of repre-
sentatives was wasting it's time over
frivolous matters. Senior Terry pre-
dicted a great future for Cuba.

TO BE USED IN ILLINOIS,
Electrical Train Under Construction
Designed to Run Up to a Hun
dred Miles an Hour,

New York, Aug. 24.-An electrical
company at Lynn, Mass, is building
a train, which is to soon be used in H.
%linois, says a special dispatch from
Lynn, and which the engineers esti-
mate will make 80 to 100 miles an
hour.
1t is added that the track for the
train in Illinois is almost completed;
that the line is about $50 miles long
and is remarkable for solidity and
strength. As far as possible grades
have been eliminated. Electricity will
be the motive power, and the third
rail system will be used.
A train of three cars has been
built for the first trial trip.
The train will be equipped with IL
motors of 120-horse power each. In
stead of the high speed increasing the
danger, it is claimed that the train
will be safer and run less risk of
leaving the rails than the ordinary
street car. The theory held by cleo
tricians is that the train is practical

time he is too wise to ignore the fact
that the tendency of is in
the direction of concentration of
forces, and that this force needs guild
