CUBAN RECIPROCITY.
There is Evidently Nothing in II for
the United States.

With the end of 1904 there was com
pleted the first full year of Cuban rec
iprocity" under the treaty which has
yet four years to run before it can be
discontinued by either party. In re-
gard to the operation of the treaty we
have the report of our Treasury Depart
ment for the full calendar year 1904
and that of the Cuban Government fol
the first half of that year. The United
States figures show that during the
full calendar year our imports from
Cuba increased by ST., 722, 7O1 and oui
exports to Cuba by SO. 1870, 1928. We
have, by our reciprocity agreement,
given the profits on the larger sum in
payment for the profits on the smaller
sum.
But the Cuban figures are even more
instructive, although they cover but
half the year. With larger crops OF
sugar and better prices Cubans, OF
course, had much more money to spend
than in any recent year, and even
without reciprocity" it would have
been queer if we had not secured some
part of it Under the benefcent In
huence of our reciprocity trade we
might have expected to get nearly all
this increased traffic, and at any rate
to have been far in the lead of the rest
of the world in our percentage of in
crease. 1t was our right to expect this,
for it is what we were assured we
should get, and if we should not get 1T
reciprocity" would involve large
profit to Cuba with dead loss to our
selves. Upon examining the Cuban
tables we discover that during the first
half OF 1904 Cuba bought from all other
countries 22.S per cent, more than in
thefpreeeeding year, but bought of the
United States only 1875 more. The
Important countries which got the:
large percentages of increase in Cuban
trade were the United Eingaom, 34.5
per cent Spain, 1873 per cent; France;
38$ per cent Germany, 500 per cent. /;
snezuela, i1S99.6 per cent; Canada,
'l2s. 3 per GENT, Austria Hungary, 10a s
per cent, and so on. The only
countries whose percentage okincrease
fell below the percentage of Cuba's
total increase of imports were the
United States, Uruguay. Columbia,
Netherlands, Sweden and Norway. 1t

Misuse Of School Time

We wish to notify parents tnat We

tt ere are parties AMI sleighrldes last-
ing In many cases until four oclocK
IN the morning. The pupils TAKE
one day to prepare for the event ana
take one or two days to recover from
1t.
These conditions prevail In the nign
school and 90 down we'll into the
grades. Tnese facts are cause OF
manvi failures and the teacher IS
charged with having no patience and
with not helping the pupil.
Why do the parents permit these oc'
currences and then charge US with tire
poor results? Why can not these
social events be put of until the close
Of the school week?
There are many pupils out of school
for a part OF the day and the parent
says that the pupil states that the
work is all prepared and there is no
necessity for staying In school all day.
We state to you that every pupil has
all the work that he can do well, AMI
stay In school during the full day.
Every absence, even for a part of the

not favor separate institution on ac-
count of expense to build, equip and

determine as there was great need for
something to be done. DR. Wixom
thought might be well to have one in

now in use. N. X. Potter thought a
place should be provided where they
might be reformed and given a chance
to become better women and under re-
straining care where they would not be

for a station for which she paid 81. She
did not use the return part of the ticket
until recently The conductor refused
to take the ticket and put her off the
train. She sued and recovered $1,000.
The case was carried to the United

court holds that the purchaser of the
ticket paid full fare for trip for the
distance called for by the ticket and
was entitled to. ride at her own con-
venience.
