and added to before reaching the Con

change of prisoners with you.

eight hundred thousand acres of land
in the Chippewa Indian reservation in
the northern part of this state are
thrown open to settlers today, and as
a result there is a small-sized Cherokee
strip opening.
The tract constitutes a part of the
Chippewa lands segregated as the re-
suit of an examination by land experts
from the timber lands, While there is
considerable swamp land in the tract
the greater part of it is arabic and as
a consequence there has been a great
rush of farmers and other prospective
settlers.

Message Of President Theodore Roosevelt
on Ratification of Cuban Reciprocity Treaty

We'll as by our economic interests. 1t
does harm to no industry. 1t will ben
eft many an industry. This interests
our people as whole. both because of
It's Importance from the broad stand
point of international policy and be
cause it is economically and intimately
dependent upon us to develop and Sc
cure each Cuban market for our farm
ers, artisans merchants and manufac-
turers.
Finally it is desirable a guarantee
that the good faith of Cuba be closely
bound with ours. We gave her liberty.
We knit to her memories the blood and
courage of our soldiers who fought for
her in war. The wisdom and integ
rity of our administrators who served
her in peace and who started her so
well on the difficulty paths of self gov
ernment must help her onward,
upward and, helping her help our
selves. The former consideration
caused the negotiations lately had with
Cuba and it's ratification by the senate.
They now with equal force suggest leg
islaton by congress which by the terms
of the treaty is necessary to render it
operative. Failure to enact such leg
islation would come perilousy near
reputation of our pledge in the face
of the nation.
l transmit herewith the treaty rs
amended by the senate and ratified by
the Cuban government. Signed,

To the Senate and House of Represen-
tatives
/ convey to congress suggestions that
they may be considered with the legis-
lation necessary to put into operation
the commercial treaty with Cuba
which was ratified by the senate at it's
last session and subsequently by the
Cuban government. l deem that such
legislation is demanded not only by
our interest but by our honor. We
can not with propriety abandon the
course upon which we have so wisely
embarked.
When the acceptance of the Platt
amendment was required from Cuba by
an action of the congress of the United
States this government thereby def
nitely committed itself to the policy of
treating Cuba as occupying a unique
position as regards this country. 1t
was provided when the island became
an independent republic that it should
stand in such close relations with us
as in certain respects to come within
our system of international policy and
it necessarily followed she must also
to a certain degree become included
within the lines of our economic pol
ICY Situated as Cuba is it would not
be possible for this country to permit
strategic abuse of the island by a
foreign military power.
1t is for this reason that certain linn
itations have been impressed upon her
financial policy and manifestations have
been conceded by her to the Unlted
States. Negotiations as to the details
