The Platt Amendment. t.

Whether it was wise to do it or not,
Senator Platt of Connecticut accu-
rately gagged the chances Of success
full republic being set up in Cuba
when he proposed the amendments to
the Cuban constitution which bear
his name. This amendment provides
that the government Of Cuba shall
never enter into any treaty or comp
act with any foreign power which will
impair or tend to impair the inde-
pendence Of Cuba, nor in any manner
authorize or permit any foreign pow
er or powers to obtain by colonization
or for military or naval purposes or
otherwise, lodgemant or control over
any portion of the island; that the
United States may interfere for the
preservation of the independence of
Cuba, the maintenance of a govern
ment adequate for the protection of
life and property and individual liber-
ty.
This amendment was accepted and
incorporated in the Cuban constitu-
tion so that it is part of the law of
the land.

changing standard of th~ past few
years, but, generally speaking, the re-
verse is true. The margin between
wages and the increased cost of living
has been wiped out, and labor's re-
turn, from recent figures heard, is
now we'll above the percentage of in
crease in expenses, presenting a stu
alton wherin every able-bodied work
ing man is able to secure employment
at more than d mere living wage.
We sometimes hear of a rise in the
price of a commodity, or ''bull'
market in securities. Labor is nc
less commodity than other things
and at present there is a strong and
rising market.
The investing capitalist has not
alone been favored. The prosperity
of the working class is not so easily
illustrated by lump statement,
since distribution consists in the di.
viding up Of the gross gain into min.
ute particles; set in the aggregate
they create for the country an era OF
contentment and satisfaction.
The prosperity of the country is
general. In his own environment
subject to the necessary limitations
of his position i1a life, the laborer is
today enjoying relatively the same
prosperity as the millionaire.-Minn.
eapolis Journal.
Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1906-09-28
Prosperity is General.

A feature of the day is the demand
for labor and the high wages being
paid the unskilled worker. Some
western railroad construction is en-
ploying men at new high-record pay,
and labor the country over, skilled
and unskilled, is enjoying better
things.
Several years of an upward trend
in commodity prices has increased
the cost of living. Nearly everyone
pays out something more in the week
ly or monthly disbursement for liv-
ing expense. The American people,
however, are on a higher level these
days, and the increasing use Of luxur-
les, some of which, thru familiarity,
are beginning to be looked upon as
necessaries, is thing not to be pas
sed over in this connection.
Sometimes the statement is heard
that when prosperity rules the rich
reap the profits. This emanates from
false conception of the true relation
ship between invested capital and Ia
Dor and their Independence for profit.
When the country enters period of
prosperity and great business activi-
ty, it is usually the case that in the
early part in the first year or two of
a five or ten-year period, differences
unfair to the workingman may be
found. Prices rise and the cost of liv-
ing goes up while wages sometimes
lag. This adjusts itself later. The
The old law of compensation works it
out.
Individual instances prove little in
a consideration so wide as the state
of labor in America. There may be
the occasional cases of inadequate
| compensation, measured by the

ice Of two possibilities. Either Cuba
might fall into the hands of Euro
pean power and be made a naval base,
menacing to our national interests, OF
it might fall into a state of anarchy
The latter appears to have happened.
The island is torn between contend
ing factions. Its trade is at stand
still. Its people are in mortal terror.
1t cannot exist thus half governed
and wholly insecure. Either the
Cuban people must discover leader
and patriot large enough to solve the
present impasse or the United States
must solve it.
There is but one way for this gov
ernment to solve it, and that is by
throwing enough troops into the is
land to hold all the strategic posi-
tions. In case the Cuban rebels con-
tinue in arms, the army of the Unit
ed States will have to fight them,
capture and corral them. In other
words we shall be just where Spain
was in 1898, except that we shall
make short, sharp work where the
paralyzed arm of Spain fell helpless
This is not grateful task. AS the
president pointed out in his letter tc
Minister Quesada, it was proud act
that ordered the American flag haul
ed down in Cuba, to be succeeded by
that Of free republic. 1t would be
a grievous task for any president to
be compelled to flood the island with
troops, to be withdrawn only after a
generation or two of Cubans had pas
sed away and the island had again
given promise of being able to govern
itself If there is any patriotism in
Cuba, it should come to the front to
avoid the confession before She world
that the republic was failure.-Min-

ThOrsOn Park.

The shade trees and ornamental
shrubs planted in the "stand pipe"
block are growing rapidly and in a
few years it will be the most beauti-
full spot in Canton. Up on that hill
as you stand at the base of the great
stand pipe you have one of the most
enchanting views in Lincoln county.
You can see the Iowa farms and COM
Portable homes up and down the
river for distance of 16 miles, and
the Lincoln county landscape with a
twelve mile radius is simply charm
ing. Thomas Thorson has planted
hundreds of trees and shrubs in that
block and has given them his individ-
ual care since planting. Everything
is planted in regular order, and he
has also provided hydrant water and
hose connections at his own expense.
1t is beautiful spot and it should
be officially designated by the City
Council as Thorson Park, because Mr..
Thorson has spent a great deal of
