PRESIDENT SPEAKS ON CUBAN
TREATY AND TARIFF QUESTION

Minneapolis. April 5.-President
Roosevelt and party arrived here At s
O'Clock yesterday afternoon. A drive
through the principal street, with the
mayor acting as escort, ended At the
Nicollet hotel, where a short reception
was held. The President was then
taken to the banquet hall. where hun
dreds of the leading men OF the city
gave a hearty reception.
After the banquet President Roose-
welt was introduced and spoke on THE
Tariff" in part, as follows:
my Fellow Citizens: At the spe-
cial session of the Senate held in
March the Cuban reciprocity treaty
was ratified. When this treaty goes
into effect 1t will confer substantial
economic benefits alike upon Cuba. be-
cause of the widening of her market
in the United States. and upon the
United States. because Of the equal
widening and the progressive control
1t will give to our people in the Cuban
market.
Under the Plat amendment Cuba
agreed to give US certain naval sta
lions on her coast. The Navy Depart
ment decided that we needed but two.
and we have specified where these two
are to be. President Palma has con-
cluded an agreement giving them to
us-an agreement which the Cuban
legislative body will doubtless soon
ratify. In other words. the Republic
Of Cuba has assumed n special relation
to our international political system.
under which she gives US outposts OF
defense. and we are morally bound to
extend to her in q degree the benefit
Of our own economic system. From
every standpoint of wise and enlight-
ened home and foreign policy the rati-
iication Of the Cuban treaty marked a
step Of substantial progress in the
growth of our Nation toward greatness
At home and abroad.
Equally important was the action
on the tariff upon products Of the Phil
ippines. We gave them q reduction Of
twenty-five per cent. and would have
given them q reduction Of twenty-five
per cent. more had 1t not been for the
opposition. in the hurried closing
days Of the last session, Of certain gen.
tlemen who, by the way, have been
representing themselves both as Pc
culiarly solicitous. for the interests of
the Philippine people and as special
champions Of the lowering Of tariff
duties. There IL 4 distinctly humorous
side to the fact that the reduction Of
duties which would benefit Cuba and
the Philippines. as well as ourselves,
was antagonized chiefly by those who
in theory have been fond Of proclaim
ing themselves the advanced guardians
OF the oppressed nationalities in the
Islands affected and the ardent advo-
Gates Of the reduction of duties gener-
ally. but who instantly took violent
ground against the practical steps to
accomplish either purpose.
Moreover, law was enacted put
ting anthracite on the free list and
completely removing the duties on all
other kinds Of coal for one year.

The old-fashioned notion Of the
light blouse with dark coat and
skirt is only permissible now for
purely practical uses. Even then it is
better to have some sort Of connec-
ton between the blouse and the skirt.
There Is quite craze now to dress
entirely in one color from the hat
downwards, and at this season of the
year 1t is quite easy to carry out an
idea like this. Brown or blue gives
excellent effects. and ~ many as
