An AMARILLO 'CORNER.

rs there a lumber trust in
Amarillo: That is an Amarillo
lum Der trust:" asks the Amarillo
Herald of last Friday. And in
reply to this interrogatory, the
Herald goes into details which,
10 its own satisfaction, evident
" closed the case for the affirm
ative, fully establishing an
Amarillo lum Der trust {"
Hence these tears" says the
Herald.
It's hard on Amarillo, TO be
sure. She bias been reaping
benefits which otherwise might
have gone elsewhere and all on
account of low priced lum Der
which has drawn customers
from the South Plains and from
here TO her markets. and now
her lumb Der trust or corner" has
blocked the game-"hence these
tears"
Treating the matter seriously,
however, Amarillo, for the past
two years, has been having
what is known to the. trade as
lumber war" One or two big
concerns who claimed to have
been there first and thus pre-
empted the territory, sought to
run an interloper Ito them) out
by cutting prices and then the
fun began. They finally got
tired of this fun and by sales
and changes, division Of spheres
Of influence no doubt being
agreed p o n, as a diplomat
would say, they got together
and presto, Canyon City figures

This, in a nutshell, is the story
and, "hence these tears" says
the Herald.
Now, The News does not de-

up the Amarillo, or any other
lumbe trust Far from it, The
News is sure that the public is
being held up on lumber as well
as many other necessary COM

blame where it justly belongs.

WHY ROOSEVELT
WANTS FREE CUBA
The Question Of Annexation, Has
Bearing on Relations with
Other Republics.
BY w. w. Jermane.

Washington, Oct. 4.-Realizing that
the question of Cuban annexation is
larger than Cuba and affects the pol
icy of the United States with relation
to Central and South American repub-
lies, President Roosevelt stands square
ly against annexation in the pAesent In
stance. He will resist annexation with
try will stand by him.
The matter will form one Of the
strongest features Of his next annual
message to congress-, Or he may even
make it the subject of special mes
sage in which he can expand his
views. There is not an annexationist in
his cabinet. LII Kin ..s
IF Cuba is ever to come permanently
under the stars and stripes that act
must be performed, in large part, by
the legislative branch Of the govern
ment, and a fairly unanimous condition
OF public sentiment must precede IT.
Meanwhile, it may be taken for grant
ed that the president, is sincere in his
announced policy. of temporary occll-
patton Of the island. Washington feels
! this way about it, and is entitled to- an
opinion, for what goes On at White
House conferences sooner or later bt
comes public property. Thus far every
thing that the president has said to his
OA1Clotl duV1oclS duU HIS OCCdSlOuGl Cdll-
ers, since returning from Oyster Bay
squares perfectly with his official ut
terances and with the utterances OF
Secretary Taft. The report that this
pacific attitude is intended for home
consumption, and for effect on the con
gressional campaign, now we'll under
way, is not believed. The attitude OF
the president is sincere and disinter
ested. He wants Cuba to remain free
and will do all that he can to insur,
such an outcome Of the present inter
vention. If Cuba is to be annexed, i
the intervention is to be prolonged
such policy will be determined b,
congress, without aid or comfort from
the White House.
Cuba Pays the Freight. +:
Cuba will, obviously, desire that til
intervention be as brief as possible, TO
she is to pay the bills. Just Wha
these bills will aggregate nobody ca
say at this time, but everybody know
that it costs money to move big wal
ships, loaded with ammunition and ma
rines, and transports loaded wit
troops. The transport service alone i
said to be cos ting $4,000 day. Al
this expense must be met by Cuba, a
soon as she has another period of re
pose. She must not only pay the cos
of the intervention itself, but all tn
damage that has been done to propert
