The Haitian Disturbance.

Political weather prophets are al
ready predicting a storm over the
disturbance in Haiti, and freely re-
calling President Roosevelt's assur-
ance that the little republics Will be
protected as long as they behave
themselves. There is no reason to
take exception to this, since nobody
ought TO expect to see them pro-
tected when they do not behave
themselves; but interfering with
Haiti because she has got into trouble
with Germany and France is not
necessarily part of the Administra-
tion program.
This is not by any means the first
time there has been a ruction in the
Black Republic, and the people of
this country have taken very little in
terest in the causes of such squaDbles,
or their outcome, further than 20 sug-
gest that Haiti ought 70 be under the
control Of the United States. But
some people think we already have
enough of the white mans burden
without going after more, and that
with race troubles in our own cOun-
try still unsettled. we should be fool
ish to annex a large bunch of trouble
which does not concern Us.
If American interests are threaten
/ ed, however. it may be necessary FOL
US TO interfere, and in the case o.
such interference the characteristic,
| fairness OF the President will proba
/ bly, lead him TO consider the causes
as well as the results Of the 2ntagon

natives of Germany and of Franc,
were concerned in the management
OF a Haitian bank, and "misappro
priated the funds" to put It euphe
mistically.
Thereupon the Haitian government
put them in prison, and thus far
surely. the Black Republic proceede,
on principles consonant with law am
order. Then, it is said. the two gov
/ ernments whose protection the for

point of allowing only about five
years of a mans whole life in which

any of the old novels and you find
the heroines treated as women at the

are referred to as girls until they
are somewhere near thirty. Our

The Dap of Young Men.

President Roosevelt is so often re-
ferred TO as a young President that
ignorant people may be excused for
believing that he is hardly more than
q schoOlboy. The youthfuIness of the
President is made the occasion for
especial scorn in the Democratic
party, which points TO its candidate
at least to as much of a candidate as

the serenity and dignity Of mature
age. AS a matter of fact, Judge
Parker Is fifty-two and BIr. Roosevelt
IS forty-six Strange what a lone
time six years is. for campaign pur-
poses.
II may be well. however, in this
connection. to cast the eye over the
pages Of our early and glorious his
tory. If man at the age of forty
six is not old enough TO be trusted
with the destinies of nation, the
infant Republic might well have

Russia and Finland.

AS evidence of Russias magma
nimity toward Finland, the statement
is made that Russia will not punish
the duchy. but will continue General
Bobrikoff's policy. The question
naturally arises, What was General
Bobrikoff's policy?
When Finland came under Russian
domination, the Car solemnly swore
to support and maintain the constitu-
ton of the grand duchy of Finland,
which meant that Finland was to
have a representative government I'M
der Russian supervision.
What Finland has actually endured.
however, is a steady and determined
campaign of Russianization, until
now, from being both in population
and resources one of the most impor-
tant dependencies, she has become a
mere province, her language lost, her
legislative power nullifed, her pro-
testing patriots banished, her petit
tons unheard. That is the Bobrikoff
policy which will be continued.
Yet to name it the ''BobrikoR
policy" is really a misnomer, for the
unfortunate governor was only an
agent. Like a soldier he obeyed the
order of another, and like a soldier
he died at the post of duty. The
order, of course, came from the Car,
the same Car who had taken a
solemn oath not to do to Finland ex-
actly what he commanded Bobrikoff
to do. How then account for this
seemingly lack of honor in a monarch
thoroughly conscientious and far
famed for his love for his people?
Again. examining further into the
intrigues of Russian bureautocracy,
1t will be seen that even as the Bob
rikOff policy was not really Bobri-
koff's. so was the Cars will in order
ing this policy not really his Mich
