NOW MIGHT MAKES RIGHT.

In a recent issue the Omaha Bee,
a Republican paper, said The valid
ity of the Plat amendment to the
Cuban constitution does not depend
upon any action of the Cuban Legis-
lature or of the Cuban pepole, al
though the latter seem to be afflicted
with this hallucination. It simply de-
ponds upon the power of the United
States to enforce it. 1t is ultimately
merely a question of physical force.
1t will be too bad if the Cubans sha--
fail to see the real point and miscon-
duct themselves accordingly 1t
would indeed be too bad if the Cubans
failed to ''see the real point and mis-
conduct themselves accordingly"
And it would be too bad, also, if the
United States undertook to excise
a power whose authority depended
upon merely the question of physi
cal force" In the old-fashioned days
American statesmen, very generally,
held that right made right, rather
than might makes right.

the neat little packets of cakes that
they offer for sale at its railway sta

While the name goes on the rests- tration list, whether he has or has not paid his poll tax, 1t will not be placed among the qualified votes for this year | election. It will not go among the quaii- fled voters name until he has paid his arrearage of poll tax.
 The permanent plan becomes effective on the goth of December. Under the per marent plan a voter to be registered must be able to read and write correctly sss- ton of the new constitution, or he must pay tax on $500 worth of property. It ss not necessary that he should possoss boti, qualifications, but he must have one or the ether. The Legislature as its next session will make provisions for the rss istration of voters under the permanent plan.

 If anyone will take the trouble to ex- anime the columns of the papers printed in "the old days" he will discover in them much sharp criticism of men and things. He will see quickly that it diff fers from the criticism to be found in the leading papers of this day in that it is intensely partisan and often extremely coarse.
