THE CUBAN SITUATION.

1t is fortunate both for the Cubans
and the people of the United States
that such wise heads and clean
hands are in charge Of the
affairs at Havana. President Roose.
welt and Secretary Taft know
just about what to do and how to do
it in emergencies Of the kind that now
has to be dealt with. Mr.. Taft has
shown himself to be a master in tact
and diplomacy and no one doubts that
he will succeed in bringing order out
of chaos and re.establishing the Gu
ban republic. That is Mr.. Taft's high
est aim and expressed object. annex
alton is farthest from his thought and
will not be recommended except as a
last resort Cuba is a rich and fertile
island, with great possibilities. Its
only drawback Is the low class of
people that make up the bulk Of its
population. In area it is some $4,000
square miles, about that of the State Of
Pennsylvania, but at once more va,
riedly fertile and possessed Of greater
mineral wealth. Its population, at the
latest trustworthy reports, was, in
round numbers, 100000, or about IS

10 the square mile, while Pennsylyai
MIA has 40, and Is denseiy settled.
Cuba could easily support in comfort
and prosperity q population Of 10000
600. OF its present sparse and scatter
ed population about one.third are ne
groes. Havana holds nearly one fifth
Of the total Of inhabitants, and four
other cities half as many more, 50
that the rural population is spread out
very thin, not more than a couple OF
dozen to the square mile.
This at glance gives some idea Of
Mr.. Tafts problem and what would
happen in case he should make a seri-
GUS mistake. The destiny Of a COM
monwealth capable Of maintaining a
population Of 100000 people having
population of 100000 people hangs
upon the wisdom Of an American Pres
ident and an American sescertary OF
War. AS we said In the beginning
It is fortunate that such wise heads
are in control Of the situation.

ANIMALS GROW TAME.

The Wheeling Intelligencer makes
the following interesting observa'
tons:
A few brief months ago an orator
at Democratic convention could stir
up the animals by denouncing the
Dawson tax laws" or the Dawson
inlquity," but that period has past.
The party leaders in confab at
Charleston have decided that the laws
are too good to repeal, and need only
some revising" the which they fail
to particularize.
There were Democratic conventions
Saturday in Writ county and Fair,
mont, the first to name a county
ticket, and the other to name a can
didate for the State Senate in the
Eleventh district. In Writ one Col.
Mel King consigned tax reform to the
iceless region in an equally warm
speech, but the candidate for the Sen
ate from that district, Mr.. McGregor,
followed with an enthusiastic tribute
to the new laws.
At Fairmont the Senatorial conven-
ton" respectfully submitted" the fol.
lowing mild expression:
I'VE believe in a just and proper sys-
TEN of taxation, and we respectfully
submit that a great many provisions Of
the new tax laws are ltl.advised and
utterly fail to correct the inequality
in assessments in every county and
section of the State, and we submit
that the political machine and thereby
become system of oppression.
If the election were another month
distant and some Democratic conven.
lions were to be held over again, We
might look for unqualified endorse
ments of "the inlquity" from every one
Of them. 1t all goes to show how the
tax tickets are working.
The Fairmont West Virginian. (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1904-1914, 1906-10-02

Our Democratic friends are getting
near a dangerous maelstrom when
they say anything about the slight in
crease placed back upon the counties
under the new law, when all told 1t
amounts to only four or five thousand
dollars. What are we getting in its
stead? A State tax rate of Sh cents
on the hundred dollars, whereas be-
fore It was 35 cents. In other words,
the rate Of levy has been reduced four
times which will be a direct saving
to ninety per cent Of the Individual
tax payers and which will amount to
fifteen or twenty thousand dollars to
this county as a whole. We can Ger
tainly stand that kind G: trade off and
the people realize 1t.
The Fairmont West Virginian. (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1904-1914, 1906-10-02

The Times says it has found in the
records that since 1904 Cordray & Son
have sold -four, feed, ETC., to the couD-
ty to the amount of over thousand
dollars. No one disputes It that we
have heard of and we presume the
people got the worth of their money
in provisions for the poor, but how
about that duplicate thousand dollar
order which a Democratic county
clerk held and when caught promised
to make good on, but never did? That
is drawing interest at six per cent.
and will double itself in sixteen and
two.thlrd years. In the one case the
people got value received, in the 9th
er they got the laugh, while the
clerk is said to have gotten the mon
ey. Win the Times say We are not
telling the truth?

The Clarksburg Telegram axes
some yefy truthful and sensible 81
marks relative to the attack Of the
News, the Democratic organ, on the
candidates chosen at the recent Re.
publican primary election, i seems
that Democratic papers are pretty
much all alike. always ready to run
down and defame Republican candi-
dates and brand them as ring" men.
Below is what the Telegram says:
"Any man the Republican party
might nominate in this county and
State would be called a machine Or
ring candidate by the Democratic
papers. Several Of the present Re-
publican nominees were noble fellows
with the Democratic paper until al
ter they received nominations and
began to run for Office. Many nice
things were said about them in the
recent past by the Democratic paper
even up to the very time the people
selected them as their standard bear
crs, and then they suddenly fell in
the estimation OF the News and 1t
stands ready Ia defame them in ey-
cry possible way in order to accom-
plish some political vantage. But 1t
mistakes its mark. The people Of
this county know the nominees and
they are men who can safely bear
the searchlight. In short, they are
men whose characters are not to be
assailed by the enemy except to re-
suit in injury only to their assail-
ants"

Such was the appeal in part and

irresistible conclusion? That Judge
Mason has sullied his fair name, drag
eed down hitherto spotless reputa-

Of partisan judge. That is what the
Times says of him. But the people
don't ask an irresponsible makeshifl

DELIVERING The BONDS.

Some time ago mention was made
in these columns Of the sale Of the
Fairmont Industrial Companys hold,
fings to new company known as the
Monongahela Valley Industrial Com
pany. The deal was a large and i'm,
portant one and 1t has taken consid-
cradle time to work out all the details
OF the transaction. The new company
| in turning the deal has issued bonds
for the present payment Of the hold
ings and these bonds are just now be-
ing delivered to the stockholders OF
the old company. That they are as
good as "old wheat in the mill" is
evidenced both by mortgages held on
the fine seven hundred acre tract OF
land owned by the company and the
character and financial standing OF
the men behind the enterprise: Few
people realize the amount of thought
and hard work and money that have
been put into the development of the
proposition now turned over to the
new company and fewer still compre-
bend what It will mean to Fairmont
when the development is in full swing,
as it will be before many months. The
Hickman run valley will be the future
industrial part of the city and in years
10 come the effort put forth to develop
that section of the city will be appre-
ciated by all our people. Much credit
is due the promoter Of the enterprise,
Mr.. Levi B. Harr, for the courage, abil-
Iity, honesty and tenacity Of purpose
exhibited in carrying forward the work.
| 1t will not be long until the fruits Of
his labor will be apparent to all and
the people will then thank him for
what he has done for the city and the
people connected with the PROPOSE
ton.
