THE PRESIDENTS SPECIAL
MESSAGE.

The President devotes his special message
to Congress exclusively to trade reciprocity
between the United States and Cuba, thus
emphasizing his view as to the Importance
of the subject and his desire that 1T may
be promptly disposed of. His views on the
subject are we'll known. and he has stated
them before, but never more convincingly
dominant idea is that legislation to make
the treaty effective is demanded not only
by national interests, but by national
honor. The President holds that, having
aided in bringing about the independence
of Cuba and entered into peculiar political
relations with her. amounting to a quasi
protectorate. the United States is In honor
bound to adopt an exceptionally friendly
commercial policy towards her. and the
more especially as such policy will inure
TO the decided benefit OF this country as
we'll as of Cuba. He points out that the
reciprocity treaty with Cuba will stand
by itself. not interfering with our rela-
tions to any .other country nor with our
domestic economic policy. and that IT will
benefit many industries without harming
any. He follows his presentation OF the
business side OF the case with an eloquent
appeal for justice to Cuba on what may
be called sentimental grounds. I'VE are
knit to her." says the President. by the
memories Of the blood and the courage of
our soldiers who fought for her In war;
by the memories OF the wisdom and in
tegrity of our administrators who saved
her in peace and who started her so well
on the difficult pash of self-government.
We must help her onward and upward.
and in helping her we are helping our
selves" This appeal will be cordially ap-
proved by the American people. and Con-
gress should lose no time In making it
effective Although the message is brief,
1t is comprehensive. and is an admirable
presentation of the subject.

OHIO FALLS WATER POWER.

A dispatch from Cincinnati in yesterdays
Journal stated that leading electricians
from all parts OF the country would leave
falls at Louisville with view of utilizing
them for electric light and power purposes.
They will be assisted in the investigation by
government engineers. The movement may
have important results. The Ohio river at
Louisville has fall of nearly twenty-four
feet in little over two miles. This would
supply great power and the question of
utilizing 1t would only be one of engineer
ing. Able engineers believe this to be en-
tirely feasible. Benezette Williams. a
prominent engineer of Chicago and planner
Of the Chicago drainage canal, has been in
Louisville several days making a thorough
study of the falls, with maps, ETC., and he
is convinced of the feasibility of the scheme.
Major Derby, of the United States army,
who has also made study of the subject,
will submit report and recommendations
on the subject TO Congress. The govern
ment will not be asked to aid the enterprise,
but as the Ohio river is navigable stream
the consent of the government will have to
be asked to utilize it's waters. 1t is believed
that electric power generated by the falls
can be transmitted to cities and towns
within a large radius and utilized also for
traction lines in Indiana and Kentucky The
Louisville Courier-Journal OF yesterday re-
ferring to drawings made by Mr. Williams
and Major Derby said:
The plans are drawn up with view of
being put in execution ON the Indiana side
of the river, just above the government
dam. 1t Is proposed to widen the present
mill race and extend it to the whirlpool
eddy, which Is popularity known as the big
eddy, n distance of one mile from the start
ing point. The power that is made avail
able in this way will be brought into tan
gible form by means of turbine wheels and
dynamOs. The wheels which the plans
specify are of the same description as those
used at Niagara Falls and on the Chicago
drainage canal and make use of the maxi
mum percentage of the total power that
the stream affords. 1t has not been dis
closed to what amount of power the pro-
moters propose to secure from the Ohio
river here, as the plans in their present
tabishing the plant rather than determin-
ing its size and extent, which, however
1t Is known will be on large scale.
The promoters of the enterprise are said
to have ample capital, and if the plan is
carried out it would be entirely feasible to
transmit electric power to this city, distant
about 1l0 miles from the falls.

In his address at the opening of the labor
devoted considerable time to attacking the
"open shop" policy. He regarded the
movement as a deadly menace to organized
labor and said:
On the other hand, our movements stand
for the union shop. not, as our opponents
designate 1t, the closed shop! for, as a mat
ter of fact, a union shop is not a closed
shop. Any wage-earner, a member of an
organization in any part of the country can
enter the union shop. And any wage-earner
competent to nil any position in the union
shop, is not only eligible to enter to work
therein, but the organizations have their
hundreds of missionaries at work in and
out Of season. urging and pleading with
them to enter the wide-open doors of the
union. This so-called open shop is the dis
integratIng factor that leads to the non.
union shop In other words, the shop which
is closed to TIE union man, no matter from
whence he halls or what his skill and COM
potency.
This is not fair statement OF the case.
The difference between an ''open shop and
a ''closed shop is that in the former an
employer may hire whom he pleases with
out reference to unions. while in the latter
he is restricted to the employment of union
men only. and the employment Of a nom
union man is cause for a strike. Mr. Com
pers says "a union shop is not a closed
shop" but IL is practically closed to all but
members of the union. He says further that
"any wage Garner can enter the union
shop" but he should have added 'ff he will
Join the union" The fundamental differ
ence between the open shop and the union
shop is that in one every workman stands
on his own footing and the individual is
above the union, while in the other every
workman abdicates his personality and
the union is above the individual But, irre-
spective of the union and nonunion aspect
of the case. the whole controversy in its
last analysis resolves itself into a question
of the right of the employer to hire whom
he pleases.

qualities which appeal to every class OF our

masses is real, not academic, for II is the

HANNA AND THE PRESIDENCY.
Being an Honorable Man, He Will Not
He a Candidate.

Washington Post.
The extraordinary Republican victory in
Ohio has had the effect OF directing gen.
eral attention to the Hon. M. A Hanna. the
senior senator from Ohio. to whose vigor-
Gus and intelligent conduct of the cam
paign the result was largely due. There
are no two opinions In this respect
Everybody who took even the most super
fetal observation in the premises agrees
that Mr.. Hanna was the inspiration of the
Republican cause and that his was the
initiative. the very soul of the party's
plans, tactics. and achievements 1t is not
only that under his leadership the Re-
publicans triumphed over their opponents:
the character of its triumphs, it's over
whelming unprecedented, colossal force. is
what concentrates interest and speculation
upon the man whose genius accom-
rlished ii.
Our understanding. however, is that Mr.
Hanna is not I'm a position. even IL he had
the desire, to take advantage of this un-
mistakable drift of public favor in his di-
rection. While We cannot say OF our own
knowledge that he has ever pledged his
support 10 Mr.. Roosevelts aspirations, il
seems to be. everywhere believed that such
a promise has been given, and no one who
knows Mr.. Hanna even casually, imagines
for a moment that such a promise could
possibly be violated. One of the most DOW
erful ingredients OF his popularity Is the
absolute confidence all men have In his
fidelity. A pledge from him is always ac-
cepted as final. Any obligation he may in
value without question. He is man of his
word II anything. he il better than his
word. Aone has ever dreamed OF asking
him Tor 3hond. This = the chief ssarsA a.
