Only Question of Time Before We Annex
Cuba, Says Florida Man-South Favors
the Dingley Tariff

In my judgment we made a mistake
when we did not take over Cuba at the
time we took Porto Rico. remarked j.
F. RYAN. of Florida, at the New VII
lard. today. I've been in Cuba consid-
cradle OF late, and I have seen enough
to satisfy me that II is only a question
of a short time-perhaps several years
when the United States VIII be forced
to step in and take a decided hand In
conducting the government of that rich
and fertile island. The business element
in Cuba. the people of property and
money, are anxious for annexation, but
the rabble or riff-raff are against it.
In one sense the United States really
controls Cuba, and it's the indirect con-
troll of the Cuban government that is
responsible for some Of the bitter feel
ing entertained against us by q few of
the leading Cubans. And every now and
then it crops out
Under the Platt amendment. you
know, Cuba cannot enter into any COM
mercial or reciprocity agreement with
foreign power relating to trade relations
without first obtaining the consent Of
the United States; or perhaps it would
be better TO say that no treaty Of such
character can be of effect unless rati-
fed by the United States.
1T is this power OF treaty making
that makes a nation an independent
government, and in that sense Cuba is
not an independent government This
irks on the sensitive Cuban, and hence
at every oportunity he makes a fling
at the United States. The recent cleo
ton was an exciting affair and some
bitter feeling was engendered by both
parties.

much longer continue. and when the
time is rife the Cubans will ask TO be
taken in as a territory of the United
Sattes. And wen take her in. Then the
prosperity and development of the great
resources of the island will make bounds
and leaps. and American capital will
fiow into the island"

A Musical.

Some people in one of our most
livable neighborhoods enjoyed a
musical the other night. 1t is fair
to say they enjoyed il because no one
put them to ii and they did not
regulfte IL according 20 anybody
else's wishes. From about O'Clock
IN the evening until midnight the
soprano footed and screeched and
tho baritone snorted and gasped.
The windows were open for all the
block to hear. And the block heard.
Unfortunately there are some peo-
pie who have no ear for music.
Among that number in this block are
three babies, and when they were
wakened by that last delicious top
note In the intermezZo from "Cava-
leria" they joined in the chorus way
of the key. Then three mothers be-
gan to sing their youngsters TO sleep,
and as they were some distance from
the piano and did not know La
Boheme" anyway, they were pretty
soon badly out of tune. A timid
young girl in an apartment house
near by, who is really a musician,
tried tc lose it all about this time
by playing the prelude to "Parsifal.
The medley touched the poetic soul

The Fallen Angels.

The angels of the Cathedral of st.
John the Divine, in New York, have
fallen; fallen by the hand that Great
ed them. They had not transgressed
the canons of art or the higher laws
of religious feeling. but they offended
the nice exegesis of some DR.. Dryas-
dust and, therefore, were condemned
to the limbo of the scrap heap.
1t is well that the artist had the
courage of his convictions. it speaks
volumes for the true quality of his
inspiration, that when the dreams of
his soul as embodied in the works of
his hand were condemned not to oc-
cupy the places for which they were
made, he destroyed them. They were
opposed solely because they por-
trayed the angels in the female form.
The great works of the world have
been created by its poets and artists;
TO their thought, as the ultimate
reach Of the human soul, the learning
of the sacerdotal class has been con-
secrated-after the poets dream has
overcome the sacerdotalism of its
day and become fossilized sufficiently
to~be subjected to the analysis of a
later generation.
But the day of retribution may not
be far away for those who Danish
the female form from among the
angels. The artist may take the re-
yenge of that old master of his craft.
who, having been thwarted by the
cardinals, put their portraits among
the damned in his painting of the
Last Judgment. When the Pope was
appealed to by his offended cardinals
to order the painter to remove the
likenesses, his answer was: Had he
put you in purgatory 1 might have
gotten you out; but as you are in
hell you will have to stay there" II
was feasible to Danish the female
form from among the angels, but DIR.
Dryasdust had better watch the gar
goyles and waterspouts of the ex-
terror OF the cathedral. for his fea-
lures may be immortalized there
and no one could prove that they
were out of place.

DOoMS HERRICK.

'.The political situation in Ohio this
year is most peculiar in this that the
young Republicans of the State are
forming anti-Herrick clubs in nearly
every county, and this means the sure
defeat OF Governor Herrick and the
smashing of Boss Cox's machine" said
III. T. Miller, of Spencerville. Ohio. at
the Metropolitan today. Mr.. Miller is
president of the Electro Magnetic
Plumbing and Power Company. He is
an active Republican.
II shall vote this fall" he said, Tho
Republican ticket except Herrick. and
for governor 1 shall put in one vote
for Pattison, the Democratic candidate
Pattison is a strong man and has the
confidence of the people He will re-
ceive thousands of votes from Republi-
cans and VIII be elected governor by a
safe majority.
THE church element is decidedly
against Herrick because he is looked
upon as the candidate OF the machine
and the best people in the State are
determined to crush the machine. The
best way TO do it is to defeat Herric&.
who was forced on the Republicans by
Boss Cox.
Governor Herricl< has lost caste with
the church element and the temper
ance people by trying to play both ends
against the middle. In many ways he
has played into the hands of the gam
blers by failing to enforce the laws
against them.
4'Governor Herrick's defeat does not
mean that the entire Republican ticket
will go under, for the Republicans who
will vote against the governor Will vote
fer the rest of the ticket. Nor VIII his
defeat be a reflection on RooSevelt's ad-
ministration. The people in Ohio have
the greatest admiration and regard for
President Roosevelt, and the Republi-
cans want to poll vote that VIII be
in keeping with the 255, 600 majority we
gave the President last year but. OF
course. the vote VIII not near equal
that figure because it was n Presi-
Dental election. and besides. that vote
included thousands of Democratic votes
However. the vote we viii give the
State ticket, eliminating Herrick from
the calculation, will be an Endorsement
OF the Administration
THE managers of HerricS's campaign
are scared TO death. and are appealing
TO the Administration for help. but the
feeling is such against the governor
that with all the Cabinet stUmping the
State II would be impossible to save
the head OF the ticket. Herrick is
doomed TO defeat

and he got out a cornet. Then the
whole block was off.
Reasonable men will not object to
any of this. In fact, If they have
to face it all they would rather have
1t come all at once. And they know
so little about music anyway that
they like "The Last Rose of Sum-
mer" and THE Bluebelis of Scot
land" But they would like to know
If there is not some way of cultivat-
ing teamwork when people give
musicals. "Cavaleria" is all right,
and La Boheme" is all right, too.
And the babies have as much right
TO cry as the baritone. And that
young hostler gets as much pleasure
out of his cornet and "Juniata,' no
doubt, as the timid young girl gets
out of 'Parsifal" But think of the
fun they could have if they could
only get away together! Why it
would make Richard Strauss turn
green with envy.
Nobody wants to add to the trou-
bles of the District Commissioners.
But this looks like a problem really
worthy of their talents. Why
shouldn't they be invited to the next
musical in a body? If they are in
vited and are public-spirited enough
to attend. it is safe to say they Will
go at their work next day with a
new realization of their blessings.
