The second anniversary of the birth of the
Republic Of Cuba was celebrated by ban
auet in New York, which was attended by
many distinguished Cubans and Americans.
The guest of honor on the occasion was ex-
Secretary OF War Root, who probably did
more than any other man 10 establish the
Republic on firm foundation. Senator
Platt of Connecticut said: RECONSTRUCTED
Cuba owes more to Elihu Root than to any
clear understanding of what was required
and a clear brain in carrying out. he is enti-
tied to more credit than he has received
A letter was read from President Roose-
welt in which. after expressing qualification
at the manner in which the Cuban people

AS for the United States. IL must ever be
source of joy and gratitude to good
American citizens that they were enabled to
play the part they did as regards Cuba
We freed Cuba from tyranny; we then
stayed In the island until we had estab-
lished civil order and laid the foundations
for self-government and prosperity; we
then made the island Independent, and have
since benefited her inhabitants by making
closer the commercial relations between
i hail what has been done in Cuba not
merely for its own sake. but as showing the
purpose and desire of this Nation toward all
the nations south of US. 1t is not true that
the United States has any land hunger or
entertains any projects as regards other ma
tons save such as are for their welfare.
This describes in few words one of the
greatest achievements ever performed by
any nation. The policy of the United States
towards Cuba comes nearer representing
the principles of true altruism. the doctrine
of disinterested benevolence than appears
anywhere else in the history Of the nations
1t is record of which Americans should be
proud and which will reflect lasting honor
on the nation.
The President made good point in say
ing that our treatment of Cuba should give
assurance to other nations that the United
States has no "land hunger" Our Cuban
policy was begun under pledge to with
draw from the island when ii was ready for
self-governInent, and, although military
subjugation and possession of the island
were complete. this pledge was carried out
in good faith. Imagine If you can. Russia
doing so generous act by an island in
Eastern waters or Germany by valuable
island anywhere They would have held it
almost without taking the trouble Of look
ing for a plausible excuse. There is reason
to believe that most nations expected the
United States to pursue that course to-
wards Cuba. but happily we had the honesty
and courage TO show them better way. The
magnanimity of this policy will appear
brighter as time passes. and future genera
tions will give the United States even great
er credit for establishing the Cuban Repub-
lie than IT now receives.

petition. actual or potential. is consideration
that few trusts dare to ignore. In view. further,
of the high favor with which Wall street and the
corporation leaders have for year regarded
Judge Parkers candidacy. it would not seem
likely that his success at St Louis would put
much vigor into Democratic cries against
the money power and the trusts. The chief re-
suit, indeed. OF the Hearst movement would be-
in case of Judge Parkers nomination, TO heighten
the contrast between the two wings Of the Demo-
cratic party in their attitude toward the trusts
Speaking relatively, the anal effect would be TO
make the Democracy led by Judge Parker the
pro-trust party and the Republicans led by
President Roosevelt the antitrust party. The
Bryan and Hearst elements hardly fail TO
urge this point of view upon the ST. Louis con-
yention. 1t may influence campaign contribu-

Fingertips Versus BertiIIon.

The London police have abandoned the Bertil-

and have adopted the method of taking impress
sions Of the finger tips, which has been proved
by Professor Cation to be absolutely infallible
and conclusive Within six months over LOO
identiications have been made by the finger-tip
system, a result remarkable to attract the
attention OF United States officials. India and
China have, Of course. long used this method.
not for the Identification of criminals but for
signing documents. knowing that while handwrit-
ing always be initiated. forgery is here i'm
possible. But il the finger tips so character
istic. not other parts Of the body equally so.
and may there possibly be connection between
these markings and the disposition of the indi-
vidual?
The data being collected by the police
ought to supply valuable evidence upon this
point. 1t is a commonplace Of orthodox sci
that every thought alters the molecular ar
rangement of the brain and presumably Of the
whole body. Is there way TO bring more
minute examination to bear upon these changes
with a view to their classification? Habits Of
thought unquestionably induce marked facial

but may not these changes have finer ramifca-

Somebody suggests that possibly the
omission to take the Chinese visitors to
church on Sunday was due to the fact
that no invita- ton had been extended by
any minister. The Journal does not know
not, but it can readily understand that a
desire to avoid any suspicion of advertis-
ing of a wish to draw a curious crowd
might restrain ministers from extending es-
pecial churchly hospitality. Besides. such
invitations were unnecessary, church doors
being open to all corners.

ROOSEVELT AND FOLK.

President Roosevelt is reported as ex-
pressing a wish that the Republicans of
Missouri would make no nomination for
Governor. since there is small probability
of electing their state ticket. but would
vote for Folk, the Democratic reformer.
Whether he said this or not, the sugges-
lion would do him honor. Mr.. Folk is a
man of kind so badly needed in positions
of authority. especially in Missouri, man
of such strength of character and frmness
of purpose. that to secure his services
voters may we'll afford to rise above party.
Doubtless if Tom Johnson's suggestion
were to meet with favor and Folk were to
receive the Democratic nomination for
President Mr.. Roosevelt would be glad,
since it would necessarily afford him great
er satisfaction TO have a competitor Of
his own class than to have the great office
belittled by the naming of such an inferior
candidate as Hearst, for instance. In such
case, while he would not advise Republic
ans to vote for his opponent. and there
would be no need, since their own candi-
date meets all requirements of courage,
honesty and ability. he would feel that his
election over such a man was an especial
honor and the public would have the graf
ification of knowing that both parties had
paid due respect to the highest office of the
Nation by putting forward their best man..
Mr.. Folk firmly refuses to consider the
possibility of a presidential nomination,
saying his duty is to his State. In this
he is doubtless right, for Missouri needs
him, yet presidential campaign with a
man SO exceptional on each side would be
situation so unusual that the speculativ
citizen turns away from it with regret
