THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

President Roosevelt's message to
congress regarding the Cuban reci-
procity treaty is of great interest to
the American people. 1t is safe to say
that it has been generally read by
them. 1t sets forth the opinions of
the chief executive upon the subject of
our relations with Cuba in a brief and
forceful manner. He shows that the
adoption of the treaty will do no harm
to any industry of the United States
and follows by urging the passage of
the measure on the high plain of na-
tional duty.
This duty came to us when in the in
terest of humanity we gave to the Cub
an people their independence. Since
that time Cuba has acted in good faith
with us. President Roosevelt points
out that while the treaty will be to
the economic advantage of Cuba it will
also act to our economic advantage.
The market of Cuba, under the admin
istration of self government, is des-
tined to become important in the mar
kets of the world and it seems now
the duty of the American people to
save that market to themselves while
there is an opportunity. 1t is now
time for prompt and decisive action.

in Wall street. which has made no
effort to conceal its dislike for him
either before or since his accession to
the presidency. These same enemies
We're powerless to prevent him be-
coming governor of New York. Some
OF them no doubt conspired to shelve
him by putting him in the vice presi-
dency and thereby gave him his pres
ent vantage ground, which no force
or combination of forces can take from
him. President Roosevelt is as good
as renominated today and no sensi-
BILE man has any doubt of his COM
plete triumph before the people next
November. Democratic editors and
cartoonists may employ their time
abusing and lampooning the President
but the chances are that this course
will only serve to increase his popu-
larity with the masses and increase
his majority both at the polls and in
the electoral college next year. Theo-
dore Roosevelt has a way of con-
founding his enemies that is remark
able. Time and again they have con-
graduated themselves in secret that he
was disposed of, or that he had ruined
himself, but each time he has been
pushed UP a notch or two in public
esteem These gentlemen might just
as well make up their minds that four
years more of Roosevelt is inevitable,
for the people have decreed that this
shall be inevitable.

THE PRESIDENT AND PANAMA

Cedar Rapids Republicans.-Stud
efforts have been made to misrepre-
sent the position of the President to-
ward The new republic of Panama, en-
bracing the neck of land between the
two continents and Il population of
about 100000.
AS to the provocations to secession
on the part of the people of Panama
these have to be admitted by all. The
government of Colombia, which orig
inally did not have jurisdiction over
Panama, has been admittedly corrupt
in rejecting the treaty for the con-
struction of the canal at Panama. 1t
was a game of eXtortion. or attempted
extortion. To the people of Panama
it meant the loss of the canal, with
all the accruing advantages. They
had cause to secede and they are JUS
titled ON general principles.
So far as the President is concerned
his recognition of the new republic
was such only as grew out of the
American treaty obligations. These
obligations. originally accepted in a
treaty With Granada to whose author
ity the Colombian government succeed
ed, implied the maintenance of peace
on the isthmus and keeping it open for
traffic. That obligation the United
States has fulfilled, not only in the pre-
sent but in other revolutions. The re-
cognition of the new republic has been
incidental.
But there is no doubt that the new
republic will be recognized by the ma
uons of the world generally. Public
policy and International welfare would
seem to demand such recognition. Co
lumbia has proved itself unworthy to
have authority over the isthmus.

ents and scholars cannot show such a
large proportion of its Inhabitants
seeking after knowledge. The Unit
ed States stands out pre-eminent
among the nations of the world in
this matter of public education and
in the large number Of its inhabitants
enrolled in these institutions of learn
ing.
From this great army of students
our public schools and colleges send
forth every year large numbers of re-
cruits into the active life of citizen
ship. BY the discipline of the schools
they have been trained for the new du-
ties that come to them in everyday
life New life is infused into Ameri-
can citizenship. These citizens are
armed with intelligence that proves a
safeguard against those enemies who
would attempt to persuade them that
because certain things are wrong their
country is going to the bad. This
public educational system is raising
up citizenship that believes in the
United States as the best country and
the best government on the globe
Armed with this belief the aim OF
Americas citizenship will be to main

ate the government of the people, by

HOLES IN THE SKINNER.

Marion Register-The esteemed
Marion Sentinel had to say something
about the recent elections, and so it
rejoices over the victory of Tammany,
the most corrupt political organization
on earth, the democratic victories in
Kentucky and Maryland and the
election of 81 democratic governor in
Rhode Island. 1t then bewails the
election of IL republican legislature in
the state, "by the trusts, thus contin-
uing Rhode Islands subserviency to
the coal oil Johnnies." If that is true,
does it not create the impression that
the democratic governor elect is also
'subservient to the trusts" for the
reason that the same ballot which
elected the governor elected the legis-
lature? But it can hardly be true for
the coal oil trust is q democratic trust.
democratic men own it's stock, and
control the company, and coal oil is on
the free list. Editor Shanklin frames
a smooth paragraph and gives his
readers well written editorials. Not
ore democratic editor in a hundred is
sn even match for him, but the holes
he leaves in the skinner! A blind

THE DECLINE IN STEEL.

Des Moines Capital-Have the apos-
ties of the tariff ripping propaganda
taken note of the, fact that the last
few weeks have witnessed marked
decline in the price of steel? Have
they observed that Notwithstanding the
continued compactness OF that iniqui-
tous tariff wall steel rails, steel bars
and steel billets have all taken an av-
erage tumble of $4 per ton and are go
ing still lower? Are they still of the
opinion that until the battering ram
holes throughout that wall that
no relief from monopoly can ever
come?
1t has ever been the fate of the
democratic party that it is only a
question of time when its glittering
theories are utterly demolished by the
cold hard facts.
For months the Capital has contend
ed that the question of high prices
would solve itself in due time without
reference to existing tariff schedules.
1t has declared that the most gigantic
trust that was ever organized must
eventually yield to certain economic
laws; that competition in a commodity
for which there is a general demand
could not always be suppressed, and
that it might not be SO very long be-
fore the slump would come. That po-
sition has been fully vindicated. Steel
stocks We're deteriorating in value,
The price of commodities is coming
down. The wages Of labor alone re-
main intact.
The condition of the steel market at
the present time is one Of the most
significant object lessons in the in
dustrial world.
