UP TO THE PRESIDENT.
The Cuban situation Calls for In-
mediate Action ON the Part
Of Mr.. Roosevelt.

President Roosevelt owes IL TO him.
self and to the country TO manifest
his determination upon fair play and
humane dealing toward Cuba by exert
ing his utmost influence in behalf OF a
sufficient reduction of tariff duties on
Cuban products TO avert the disasters
now threatening that island. says the
ST. Louis Republic.
The high protectionists in the Fifty
seventh congress have made this ac-
ton imperative on the presidents
part. Either he must now accept their
distinct and most insolent challenge
10 test Of strength. or he must con-
TESS that when matters come to so for
mdable an issue he fears 10 oppose
the policies Of that element in his
party.
Mr.. Roosevelt cannot WE'D 10 the
rotcctionists without stultifying him

liz in favor Of affording relief to Cuba
by a reduction Of the tariff on Cuban
products II he now lodges the logic
Of the situation. weakening because
his own policy is attacked by pow-
erful republican clique in congress.
the American people will be bitterly
disappointed in him. They have count
ed on Mr.. Roosevelt as having the cour-
age of his convictions. They have been
confident Of the unbending quality OF
the Roosevelt backbone.
The president has 1t in his power TO
avert the pitiful wronging OF Cuba by
this government The American peo-
pie will stand Loyalty by him IL he is
resolved to keep the national honor
c,ean OF the stain which will else be
placed upon II by the contemplated sin
against a helpless people. His infiu-
ence as president will weigh heavily
on the protectionist clique il he is
brave enough To exert it in the open
and make bold fight on the Cuba
tariff reduction issue. He can brighten
the protectionists into righuul action.
The solemn pledge OF the United States
government for just dealing with Cuba
demands this action Of the president.
Mr.. Roosevelt's own utterances have
committed him TO course which
makes impossible change Of attitude
without qualification. The country
waits to hear from the president.
What is his policy to-day with regard
to the keeping of our word 10 Cuba?
