CUBAN REVOLUTION.
From the Baltimore Sun.

From the Baltimore Sun.
According to the government officials at
Havana the Cuban revolution is the first
Of the opera-bouffe attractions Of the sea-
son.
From the Providence Tribune
Recent demonstrations Of certain Cubans
who are capable of self-government" will
undoubtedly be viewed with entire COM
posture by Spain
From the Birmingham News.
Tho Cuban insurgents seem to be trying
to make things warm down there The
Cubans are never 30 happy as when they
are in hot water.
From the Philadelphia Record.
Those Cuban revolutionists should have
read up on the Piatt amendment. It would
do them no good to down the Palma gov
eminent for that would simply bring the
United States into the discussion. We
fought Spain in order to put q stop to
chronic civil war in Cuba, ana we are not
going to have 1t now. We have signed
and sealed contract with Cuba under which
we can suppress disorder there. We are
not going to have any civil wars In Cuba or
Panama, and II the Senate had backed up
the President we would have assumed the
contract to maintain the peace In Santo
Domingo also.

Spelling Reform and Etymology.

The Presidents reform spelling order il be-
ing greeted in some quarters with ridlcuie
on the ground that It Is his personal at
tempt to revise the language 1t Is oy some
STYLED q characteristic Roosevelt perform
ance." This Is unfair and unwarranted.
The President has had nothing to do win
the selection of the words listed for the
new spelling or with the changes proposed
in the photography. He has merely ADOPT
ed the recommendations of Prof. Matthew's
and his associates, who are quite as COM
petent to serve In such a course AS any
other persons, and far more SO than most.
Were this merely the personal decree OF
the President 1t would be deserving of Inn
mediate rejection by the public. No one
person Is competent to proclaim the faults
OF a language and undertake to cor
rect them. Not even the most distin-
guished philologdst would meet the re-
quirements of the users Of the language
in this respect, working alone. Such
changes must come in consequence OF care
full discussion and must represent the con-
sensus of the most reliable judgments.
The main objection to any form Of SPELL
ing reform Is that it tends to obliterate
the genealogical traces and to obscure the
sources from which our tongue has been
developed. This Is to some extent true.
But the question arises whether the time
has not come in our progress to eschew
these identifying traces for the sake of har-
mony and convenience. Our language must
be regarded as a thing distinct from its
sources. 1t has now reached the point OF
being considered as a separate and indie
pendent assemblage of words employed by
a people for the expression of their
thoughts. If there remains a doubt as to
its character as a detached, independent
language, the reformation of the spelling
will promptly clear 1t away. Such modi-
fications for the sake Of simplicity and clar-
ity will inevitably stamp the language as an
institution, to be studied on its own
merits.
But there is little danger that such
changes as the Matthews committee has
recommended will seriously obscure the
roots of the language. There will remain
sufficiently strong links between the old
and the new and between the old and the
sources to permit perfect understanding
of original meanings.

The President in the Campaign.

Says the Los Angeles Herald
president Roosevelts descent to the role
of a partisan politician, even for the sake
of saving the lower house of Congress to
the republican party, must strike conserv-
atives of his own political faith as an I'M
pleasing spectacle"
The President in writing his letter made
no descent" His action was entirely
proper. He is his party's leader. interested
in its policies and solicitous for its success.
Why should he not lend the influence of
his name toward the election of another re-
publican House?
In the campaign two years ago the Presi-
dent urged the success. not only of his
party's national ticket, but of its congress
sional tickets. He wanted a Congress with
which he could do businessmen one with
republican majority in the one branch and
a democratic majority in the other. Mark
ing time was not his program. He favored
action and progress.
The country responded with great enthu-
siasm to his appeal. Not only was his own
majority overwhelming. but the republic
can majority In the House was unprece-
dented. He got more than he asked for
or expected. and what proved of much
Importance to him, the House elected was
thoroughly in sympathy with his view of
things. When 1t assembled 1t showed
disposition at once to cooperate with him
in all matters of public policy, and at his
suggestion some important laws were en-
acted
What was proper two years ago Is proper
now. The President wants another Con-
gress with which he can do business. He
is still an advocate of progress. He has
some further suggestions to make with
reference to legislation. But they will go
for nothing If the next House is demo-
cratic That will mean marking time, for
with a presidential campaign just opening,
both parties will be improving every OPP
portunity to make campaign capital. A
democratic House will play against a re-
publican. Senate and a republican Presi-
dent for advantage In the approaching ma

ever he may be, Is still his partys leader.
committed to Its policies and within his
rights in speaking for them. To employ
an everyday phrase. they all do It. They
will continue to do it. The best Presidents
have been the stoutest partisans-men who
took Office with the view of helping to full
I'LL party promises, and in Office used its
power to advance what as partisans they
conceived to be the country's best inter-
ests. Mr.. Roosevelt Is following precedent

japan and the Seal Poachers.

japan is entirely within her rights In ar
ranging for full particulars respecting the
recent killing OF Japanese seal poachers
within the Alaskan line. The act has been
formally reported to this government, and
our Information Is at her service. Like
wise will the trial Of the captured poach-
ers soon to be held in Alaska be open to
any representative she may send to OBJ
serve and report upon the proceedings. The
matter Is important to both governments.
Neither desires a misunderstanding. Our
laws as 70 seal life are rigid and must be
respected, while Japan. we may be sure,
has no thought of shielding any Of her citi-
zens who may turn law-breakers. The af-
fair. while regrettable. contains no feature
threatening complications between Japan
and this country.
