in full below:
A land without memories is a land
without heroes. The best of all
memorials is a monument worthy be-
slowed.
Wherever you find a land rich in

As long as noble men are the most
priceless possession of any people. the
basis Of its prosperity, the pioneers of
its progress. the bulwark of its de-
fence-as long as the lofty citizenship
is the choicest asset of any nation,
so long must monuments ever prove
a good investment; no capital can
yield a larger and surer return. The
erection Of a worthily bestowed monu-
ment is therefore. cause for just
congratulation. If men celebrate the
organiZa ton of a great factory. the
building of q railroad. the opening
of a boat line. should not the un-
yelling of a monument dedicated to
the inspiration OF noble living and
high endeavor be signalized? Il is

while, that in thus honoring the occa-
sion they are honoring also them
selves.

Of course, the most striking dip
lomatic event of the year 1905 was
the successful meeting of the commits
sioners named by Russia and by Japan
for the purpose OF drafting a treaty
of peace. Many persons have hkened
the meeting OF these commissioners
10 that which took place in the fall
OF 1898 in Paris. In some respects
there was a similarity. but in many
others the conditions under which
the commissioners met were entirely
different. Neither Japan nor Russia
could claim to have completely tri-
umphed. Japan, it is true. had been
successful in military operations il
the Far East. but Russia, so far as
Japan knew, was by no means ex-
hausted.
On the other hand. at the time of
the meeting of the Peace Commission
ers at Paris. Spain had been complete
ly vanquished in military operations.
Her army in Cuba had been captured
and many Of the soldiers sent back
to Spain. Her army in the Philippines
had been captured. Her two fleets
had been destroyed. Therefore, when
the Spanish Commissioners met at
Paris they We're in manv respects in
position wholly unlike that occu-
pied either by the Russian Commis-
sioEers or those who represented
Japan. In fact at the Paris meeting
Spain had only two propositions Sc
riously to offer neither of which was
accepted by the United States Conn
missioners. The Spanish Commission
ers were anxious that the United
States should assume what was called
the Cuban debt, approximately. $780,
0G0 900. which Spain had ~'laranteed.
That proposition was not accepted by.
the United States. Then the Spanish
Commissioners were anxious that in
return for the cession of the Philip
pines the United States pay large
amount OF money. possibly hoping
that with that fund Spain could more
easily provide for the payment of
the Cuban debt 1he Commissioners
did agree TO pay s20.000.00 But
there was no opportunity at Paris
for the play OF diplomatic strategy
and the exercising of high skill, as
to certain extent was the case at
Portsmouth this year.
1t has sometimes seemed to me
that the distinguishing feature of this
Portsmouth conference. leaving out OF
consideration the happy settlement OF
the vast issues involved. and settle
ment, too upon what. upon the whole,
seemed wholly reasonable bases. was
the method of procedure.

Bravery.

Associated in thought and welded IN
speech are pluck and courage, the lat
ter possibly only an intenSer form OF
the former. They are usually found
together. certainly they unite in the
character Of our hero, for in courage
he was eminent.
Sometimes We hear it said of some
brave man that he did not know
what fear was The gracious eXtrav-
agance. L judge. is rarely true OF any
man. and even when true marks a
rather low form of courage, like the
cheap benevolence which lavishes
money with no appreciation of its
value. In the popular use of the
phrase, however. 1 judge y. g. Con
zales worthy of whatever praise il con-
tains If he knew the feeling of fear
he gave scant evidence of such knowl-
edge-knowing it only TO disregard it.
He was richly endowed with both
forms of courage physical and moral,
the lower and the higher: the crude
courage that can risk bodily peril un-
afraid the finer form that can face
criticism and condemnation unwaver-
ingly.
There is an episode in his life that in
nv opinion is very characteristic of the
man. and that / think has never been
thoroughly understood or fully appre-
eiated by the general public. l.refer 10
his esDousal CT the Cuban cause. You
will recall that from the very begin
ming of this latest-and it is to be
hoped last-of Cuban revolutions. Mr..
Gonzales aspoused the cause of Cuban
independence; adopted it unreservedly
for his own, devoted his powerful pen
TO its eloquent advocacy and wrote
from an evidently full heart. Possibly
there were those who considered the
movement something Of a tempest-in-
a teapot a brawl of low-caste half
breeds. somewhat after the ordinary
south American before breakfast
revolution" rather beneath the notice
of a great republic like ours. Mr. Con-
the movement with the dignity which
succeeding events proved il richly de-
served. In this. however. he stood not
alone. and were this all / should not
emphasize ii here. But he did more;
he laid aside his work. left his office
and went TO Cuba; not by the slow and
indirect route Of the volunteer United
States soldiery. through the delays Of
training camps the difficulties of
complicated red tape and incompe-
tencies of an invetebrate system OF
transportation; but seeking the coast
ne went direct To the Cuban shore and
joined the Cuban army and saw active
and dangerous service on the personal
staff of General Gomez.
When he returned l was shocked at
his appearance: he left Columbia a
picture of robust health. ruddy and
full f1eshed: he returned a ghost of his
former self. as though he had been
through Il wasting siege of typhoid
fever.
To have laid down such important
duties in such a critical stage of his
enterprise was much. TO hazard life
and limb was to attest most sacredly
the sincerity of his editorial position,
not by self-denial merely. but real peril
demanding bravery of no common or
der. manifesting thus an actual devo-
tion that no one had any right and
few had any reason to expect. If he
had argued that grave responsibilities

a judicious compromise in all difficult
