CUBAN AFFAIRS DISCUSSED,

Cuban affairs have been much discussed
in the Senate. In a speech in opposition
TO the present reciprocity bill, which will
be voted upon December. 10th, Senator
Carmack, ofTennessee. charged President
Roosevelt with hypocracy. In his mes
sage which urged the ratification OF the
Cuban treaty. "The President told Us"
he said, that we must ratify it to save
our honor and help our trade. 1t was an
opportunity To worship God and getyour
money back; to be diligent in business
while serving the Lord. lie presented
the Cuban treaty in the double aspect OF
a bargain counter and a missionary box.
You put a nickel in the slot for sweet
charity's sake and ges more than your
moneys worth of chewing gum and Gig
ars. Happy il the Republican admins
tration that was driven by selfish mo-
tive to righteous deed and could pre-
form a christian duty without exercising
any Of the Christian virtues. 1t is anoth-
or story when honor and selfishness come
into conflict" lie said six months ago a
cry was raised, Roosevelt, reciprocity,
and revision" What had become OF the
last two members of this blessed trinity?
"The trinitarian propaganda had been
overwhelmed by the Mohammedan war
cry, OF Allah, Allah, Roosevelt Is great
and the Senator from Massachusetts IL
his prophet" The Senator closed his
speech with q plea for tariff revision.
The action OF the Senate In Postponing
the date OF voting on the reciprocity bill
until December 18th islooked upon as an
affront TO the President for his having
called the extra session. When the Sem
ate expressed informally desire to ad-
iourn before the regular session, which
commences ON December It'll, Speaker
Cannon refused to consent to an adjourn
ment until action was taken on the meas
ure for " hich theextra session was called.
As neither branch ofCongresscana adjourn
for more than three days without the
consent OF the other, the House VIII thus
force the Senate "a remain in session.
Representative Williams, the democratic
leader, has announced his minority COM
mittee appointments and it is believed
that Speaker Cannon will give out the
committee lists in time to do weeks
work before the regular session begins
