from President Palma down, is sim
cerely DESTROYS to force such interven-
ton rather than yield to any one of
the terms offered by the Liberal party
and those in arms against the govern
ment.
Liberals Cry Treason
The Liberal leaders characterize the
conduct of the government as treason
to the republic, while Secretary of
War Taft regards it as an unwarranted
and dishonorable attempt to force the
United States into Intervention. This,
it has teen stated, is precisely what
President Roosevelt has been most
anxious to avoid. It is still Just bare
~ possible that President Roosevelt,
through Secretary Taft and Assistant
Secretary Of State Bacon, may yet ar
range to establish the Liberals in con-
troll of the Cuban government, but
this is regarded as only the remotest
sort Of possibility. With either party
installed in power there would still re-
main condition Of deplorsble dissat-
isfaction and unrest, and there appears
nothing whatever to promise relief
save full control Dy the United States.
Position of Army
Acting Secretary of interior Mon
talvo declared last evening that he
would never turn over the army to the
Liberals under any circumstances. but
all government officials unite in saying
that il the rebels in the field, or any
portion Of them, resist American con-
troll the Cuban army would cooperate
with the United States in every way
possible.
The real feeling at the palace is one
Of relief in the prospect that the ad-
versaries of the government will not
win, even though the government
loses, combined with the satisfaction
that the United States will be obliged
to take over Cuba indefinitely, and
possibly forever.
Palma to Resign
President Palma has called a special
session of congress for Friday when he
will present the resignation of himself
and Vice President Mendez Capote.
The moderates, however will not at
tend that session of congress for in
their hurriedly called national Moder-
ates assembly yesterday afternoon.
they decided unanimously to simply
quit forthwith. They will not even
attend the approaching session or have
anything more to do with the govern.
ment of Cuba, alleging that they have
been unjustly treated by President
Roosevelt's commission.
This determination is taken by
Messrs. Taft and Bacon, however, as
another indication that the Moderate
leaders, since they cannot longer con-
troll the government themselves, are
determined at whatever cost that the
Liberals shall not now or hereafter
obtain CONTROL.
At the close of the Moderate assem-
bly, yesterday afternoon Vice President
Mendez Capote emphatlcally con-
demned the alleged Partially of the
American commissioners, and said he
expressed the opinion of many Of the
members of his party when he declared
that Secretaries Taft and Bacon had
placed themselves unreservedly on the
side of the Liberals and against the
existing recognized government.

The Golden Rule.

The golden rule proves its divine or
igin by solving every individual and So
cial problem, whenever applied. The
only arguments ever advanced against
1t are by those who do not want to ap-
ply it. The more a man loves himself,
the more absurd 1t seems to him to
love his neighbor as much as that He
even argues that 1t would not be good
for the neighbor, or work out rightly
and he can always convince himself,
and other selfish people, that he is cor
rect. But the golden rule remains as
strong, as perfect, as binding, as ever

How Williams Got q Gift.

A quarter OF q century ago there
lived in a Western village a gentle old
man subsisting on a meagre salary.
One day he learned that his brother
had died in San Francisco and left him
q fortune of $50, 600. The transit
ton was staggering, especially so since
it was followed by 4 shower Of ap-
peals for money from every quarter
of globe and from persons known and
unknown TO him.
His son, who acted as his secretary,
noticed with regret that the father
seemed unable TO grasp the meaning
of his new power, and was glad to
have him at last evince q little inter-
est in one of his begging letters. 1t
proved to be from Williams College,
asking an endowment on the plea that
the old mans birthplace was near the
institution.
"I'd like to do something for that
school," said he, meditatively.
"Well 1 would, father, if l were
YOU" his soE encouraged him.
II believe I will" The old mans
ardor kindled. II believe I will give
them something handsome"
$50 you should" the son pursued.
HWhy not?"
81 will. I'll give them''--he thought
for a moment-"IE give them $780,"

FORGOT What Electricity Was.

A Denver newspaper devotes a large
space in an unavailing effort to answer
q correspondents question, docs
ANYBODY know what electricity is"'
a. somebody has observed, that re-
minds us of q story.
There is now in Prineville, Ore, n
lawyer who, some years ago, was q
college student bach East. One day
il the classroom the subject OF dis
cussion was electricity. This student
had read all he could find in his text
book about electricity, and considered
himself primed for the occasion. the
professor opened the ball with this
direct question, flashed peremptorlly
at this particular student:
"Mr. Blank, can you tell us What
electricity is?
Mr.. Blank squirmed in his seat,
hcmmed and hawed for a time, ana
finally admitted:
IL. did know, professor, but I've for
gotten"
The professor gazed at the student
with an expression of unspeakaple
sorrow. Then he said sadly:
Mr.. Blank, you do not know what
you have done. Alas! what 4 sad loss
to science! You are the only man that
ever lived who has known what elec-
tricity Island you have forgotten'"-

natural pangs that a woman must feel
lin seeing her lover turn to one younger

at the progress of eaintimacyl that

| and in her very presence. 1t was not
Clifford Mohun alone that Matty was
robbing her of. Her life, for years, had
been sustained by the thought that she
had been sacrificed for his good. To

and her barren, single life had, at
least, that one happy thought to set on
it's desperate i~solation-she was giving
up all the fairer, portion of human ex-
| istence for his sake! For her to be
lonely and unloved was better than
for Clifford, and for Chords children,
through her, to have inherited dishonor>
But what if he married Matty Fer
gusson? For what empty dream mao
all her happiness been set aside If he
married this girl, bred, up to the knoWl-
edge of every evil Of continental Lie,
anu with such a %parentage, both on her

Sound in Principle and Policy.


The proposition that Congress shall
appropriate money 10 aid the States
in highway construction is sound in
principle and patriotic as policy. 1t is
not new, except that the favors of the
general government have for many
years been turned into other channels.
The aid extended to the Pacific rail-
roads, covering hundreds of millions of
money and public lands. aid the hum
dreds of millions spent on rivers and
harbors was all based upon the theory
that the government but served its
own good when app~ropriatinc money
to increase and improve the transpor-
tatiOn facilities of the country. That
is a sound proposition, and if adhered
to by the Congress mus lead to the
early extension. of government aid to
the States in road Improvement. The
government rests upon the loyalty OF
the people. The people sustain it in
times of peace and defend it in times
Of war. The people are the govern
ment. Whatever policy will benefit
the people becomes a national obliga-
ton to be observed by those entrust-
ed with power. Road Duiiding is a
recognized function of government in
every civilized country but ours. No
country has ever witnessed systematic
road construction except by govern
ment aid. Our national experience is
ample to justify the declaration that
the States Of the Union will never
have systematized road building until
the general government leads the way
in cooperation with the States.

hS |II hI ~
suggests a novel plan LOT
dealing with automobiles, which ID the
last year OF two it is claimed nave
pIayed havoc with the improved oads
that have been long the pride OF Jer-
seymen. The commissioner urges the
taxing Of automobiles on the oasis Oh
their destructive power to the pupllc
highways, the measure OF winch lie
thinks should be the maximum speed
of which each, machine is capable.
The justification for such a method Oh
taxation is that owners of automobiles
should be charged, as nearly as posi-
bile for the actual damage they DO TO
the roads. Unless some Limitation ls
enforced the commissioner believes
that much of the money which has
been spent by the State in the improve
ment Of the roads will be wasted.
The report further recommends the
licensing Of chauffeurs and tile passage
of a law prohibiting the use of armored
tires. chain tires and blowers, all OF
which add to the destructive forces Oh
the automobile. In discussing the SUD-
ject Commissioner Hutchinson says:
The automobile is now a recognized
means of conveyance. and as such IS
entitled to the use of the highways,
but there are certain appliances used
upon them which arc detrimental TO
our roads. These are the armored
tire. the chain tire and the blower.
The damage done to the surface OF our
macadam, and gravel roads. by these
appliances is so great ttat the ques-
ton of a remedy is creating CONSIDER
able agitation all over the different
counties of the State.
The temptation to get all the speed
possible out of any means OF iocomo-
ton is almost irresistible, therefore no
one should be allowed to run a ma
chine upon our public highways with
out first obtaining q license, granted
after q proper examination, as a ma
iority of the accidents ere caused by
incompetent chauffeurs. If the high
speed machines are TO be allowed upon
our highways they should be taxed IN
proportion to the maximum speed OF
which they are capable. In other
words. they should pay for the damage
they do, and all. money paid into the
State treasury for such licenses should
be applied to the maintenance n re-
pair of our roads.
The dust raised by an automobile
when running at q rate of less thah
twenty miles an hour is not any worse
than that raised by many wagons, but
when the limit is exceeded the auto
mobile becomes the dust nuisance.
Many cures fer the dust annoyance
have been suggested, as the sprinkling
of our roads with crude oil and differ
emit .olutions Of absorbent salts. These
will prevent the dust, but are too eX-
pensive to be generally used. Our
remedy, therefore, would be q strict
enforcement Of the :.peed limit, the ab.
clifton Of armored tires, chain tires
and blowers, and a tprinkling of all
our improved roads early in the MORN
ing and late in the evening. This
would preserve the roads and would
reduce the cost Of repairs materially,
at: the same time. giving lis a better
smoother and more dustless surface
than before.
