The Fall of the Republic of Cuba.

Cuba has experienced the fate that
was mapped out for ii by the admins
tration of public affairs in this coun-
try when the pearl of the Antilles was
set free from SPANS yoke. The in
PREVENTION on the part of President
Roosevelt has developed into mill
tary dictatorship on the island with
the proclamation by Secretary of War
Taft of himself as military governor.
1t was beyond question the right and
the duty of the government of the Uni
ted States to seek TO restore peace
from the senSeleSs inteTnecine warfare
that has been raging among the people
of the island. But the fact that Presi-
dent Palma, refugee in this country
at the time he was elected the first
executive of the new born republic. has
from the first of the outbreak of hos
tilities been determined to bring about
American occupation and finally re-
signed 10 insure such measures con
tributes TO the idea that nothing more
than what was expected has happened.
The great planters interests in this
country have wanted the island for
years. and hence the credence that
has been given in this country from
the start to the idea that these same
influences of greed and capital have
fOmented the rebellion and have been
instrumental in every stage even to
the point of Palma's resignation.
However. the issue has now become
one in which the United States is in
terested from military standpoint,
and the spirit of national patriotism
demands that the government be up
held
IT is a species of war. and when
that stage is reached. no matter what
the prOvocation or influence or how i'll
advised the move. it is the United
States against the world.

Bryan in the South.

Raleigh News and Observer: Ten
years ago. when Mr.. Bryan came tc
North Carolina as the democratic can
didate for the presidency. he found
some division in the democratic party
Not so on this trip. He was greeted
by united militant and enthusiastic
party animated by a fixed and high re.
solve TO put an end to the rule of
special privilege under his leadership.
In every town and city visited he found
men enthusiastic in support who eth
er held aloof or were in opposition in
1896. This is typical of the situation
in every state in the republic and fore
tells victory in 1908. Personally Mr.
Bryan strengthened the bonds of es-
TEEN and confidence between him and
the people of North Carolina
There never was a time when so
many North Carolinians trusted him
to lead the party to victory and the
country to better government. In vic
tory and in defeat. the democracy of
North Carolina hold Mr.. Bryan as the
greatest living American

| his stalwart days was one of the lead
ers of the democratic party in the
state and nation. The letter is repub-
lished from the State Register. to
which paper it was sent for publica-
ton. Colonel William T. Dowdan, for
many years an Illinois journalist and
who for a long time was editor and
publisher of the Peoria Democrat. Col.
onel Dowdall is now practicing law in
Memphis, Tenn. as the senior mem
Der of the firm of Dowdall. Smith &
Dowdall. the junior member being a
son of the colonel. IL will be seen by
the letter that Colonel Morrison is
now 50 years old. The letter, the Reg
lister says, is written in a firm hand
and bears evidence that the writer
possesses a gratifying mental and ply
steal vigOr. The Argus joins with the
State Register and the democrats of
the state in wishing that the declining
years of Colonel Morrison may be
peaceful and happy as his years of
activity were useful, and that he may
live not only to see the break of dem
ocratic day but also to enjoy many
years of the political commercial and
social blessings the triumph of demo-
cratic principles will confer upon the
country. Colonel Morrisons letter is
as follows:
Waterloo. H., Sept II. 1906.-Dear
Mr.. Dowdall: | was glad to get yours
of the Sd inst, and learn from it that
you are still up and doing, and so far
as your letter indicates very much as
you were when with other democrats
of our state we were doing what we
could 10 stay Cne onward march of the
republican party with all its deviltries
as it now seems to very little purpose.
So far as my notions. opinions or pur-
poses go. | am much changed from
the time you first saw me 80 or more
years ago. In three more days | shall
be 50 years of age. Am very old. not
very well. and nearly blind. and of
course have fallen in with the ways of
old men. In politics | stay al home
do little more than vote against and
swear al the other fellows which | re-
great TO say does not much hinder
their progress. | do not feel that I
lose much by being down and out. OF
course things move very fast in these
fast times, but politically, l do not ex-
pect again 10 see the break of day.
trust all is well with you and yours.
With many good wishes. Cordially
yours
