Charles f. Magoon's proclamation
upon assuming the Governorship of
Cuba is clear, concise and seems to
leave nothing more to be said. He
says he proposes to exercise the pow
ers conferred by the appendix to the
Constitution of Cuba to preserve Gu
ban independence and for the protec-
ton of life, property and individual
liberty. He VIII exercise these powers
with a view to restoring the ordinary
methods Of the Government of Cuba.
and terminating his own admins
tration. The Constitution of Cuba
and the laws made in pursuance there
of will remain in full force and effect
except such as are abrogated or held
in abeyance by those derived from the
said appendix This proclamation is as
it should be, since it does not promise
too much or make any embarrassing
pledges. The Governor will do what
ever is absolutely essential to be done,
and as soon as the Cubans themselves
are ready to manage their own GOV
ernment and do these things for them
selves the Provisional Government will
cease.

A queer circumstance is noted in the
apparent translation of nearly the
whole of the great families of Dwight
and Lathrop or Lothrop from England
to this country. A century ago the
Dwights and Lathrops and Lothrops
were quite numerous and prominent in
England, but now there are very few
to be found anywhere, while Dwights
and Lathrops and Lothrops are every
where in this country.

Washington is favored with another
daily paper. and from the first issues
it would seem that the city is particu-
larry favored in a bright, handsome
journal of high character. 1t is newsy,
clean and able. The name is the Wash
ington Herald. and it began publica-

managing editor of the Washington
Post, and who made that paper one OF

serves success, and we have no doubt
that it will quickly achieve it.

John Sharp Williams, of Mississippi,
has the merit of frankness. In his
speech at Greensboro, n. c., replying
to Secretary Shaw, he said that Taft

of Republicans. Mr.. Bryan's belief in
Government ownership of railroads is

DIR. Forbes Winslow, the great Eng

soon more insane than sane people on
this earth. The question naturally oc-
ours as to what is a sane man. Entire
sanity, like common sense and other
general terms, is only relative. All
people are only approximately sane and
sensible. The average man" Goes not
exist. nor does the absolutely sane and
sensible man. The best that any of us
can do is to keep up fair average.

THE CUBAN PROBLEM.

An Indian summer calm has succeed
ed the "Squaw Winter in Cuban poll
tics. The disarmament of the Insur-
rectos and the Government troops has
proceeded without clash: The Insur-
rectos have given up such arms as they
chose. and apparently retired from the
rebellion business. This is only appar-
emily, for the microbe of insurrection is
always actively present in Latin-Amer-
lean countries, and an uprising is likely
whenever a young, half-educated half
breed sees q chance to make ruction
with such a crowd of mongrcl vaga-
bonds as he can gather All that holds
him and them in check is possibility of
swift defeat and punishment which is
seldom likely, since the other half
breeds who are in power can only meet
him with such another crowd of mon
grel vagabonds as can be shirked up for
the emergency.
There will be peace and order IN
Cuba just as long as there is American
cavalry there, which. when town 1r
plantation is, raided and robbed. will
pursue the robbers until they are over
taken, captured or killed. Possibly in
time the Cubans will learn to do this
for themselves. just as Mexico has
learned to do lit under President Diaz,
but it win take the islanders just as
long as it has the Mexicans. and un-
fortunately there has at yet risen no
man like Porfirio Diaz to give his coun-
trymen the needed lesson
Therefore, we are liable to have to
continue Il Provisional Government in
definitely While this has some objec-
tions, it ;1has'much t. recommend it.
Such Government will continue the
Cuban laws, courts, customs and meth
DDS of procedure. which is the wisest
course by far. If we annexed the island
there would be at once clamor from
some people and politicians for the in
PRODUCTION of American laws and GUS
toms, entirely unsuited to the Cubans.
Nor can there be any clamor for ex-
tension of American citizenship to Gu
bans. They will continue outside IF
the fence, managing their affairs their
own way, with their own officials gen.
orally in control. their own Judges ap-
plying their laws, and Cuban legislators
raising taxes to be spent exclusively for
Cuba's benefit. The United States will
only be in evidence in seeing that life
and property are protected and Cubans
obey the laws of their own country.
The expectation that the American
occupation will only last until after the
elections can be held is delusive. The
beaten party will find just as many pre-
texts for repudiating that election as
and the whole thing would have to be
done over again if the troops were
Business has now revived in the
island, everything is becoming normal,
and will continue so just as long as
there is a sufficiency of American cav,
airy there to ride down any bandit
crowd that may make an outbreak.
Mr.. Magoon has succeeded Secretary
Taft as Provisional Governor, and We
trust has providently made arrange
ments for his family to come on for a
prolonged stay at Havana. If he gets
away before the demands of his pri-
vate business in this country or his
health requiring a more bracing eli,
mate, impel him to ask to be relieved,
We shall not set up again as prophet.

THE SEASON OF THE spELLBrSDER
With the days and nights when-
The frost is on the pumpkin
And the fodder's in the shock


The frost is on the pumpkin
And the folders in the shock
comes the Season of the Spellbinder.
In the older days the speakers at
the ward, town and County rallies We're
usually men who had strong convictions
as to the principles their parties advo-
Gated. They were men of more or less
their character gave force to what they
said. Generally they were candidates
for something, they had been selected
by their parties as standard bearers
and the meetings We're for the purpose
of letting the voters get acquainted
tain extent But there has risen a
profession of "spellbinders. who fol-
low political speaking as avocation.
What they do between campaigns is
not known, but they command good
prices-from S25 to 800 a night for
first-class artists. with expenses. For
merly the committees were quite lib
eraI in the matter of expenses. but of
late years accounts have been reduced
to a stricter business basis.
The first requirements of good
spellbinder are those of an acceptable
actor or clocutionist. He must have a
good voice. easy manner and a dra-
matically earnest way of putting things
and telling stories. He must have all
the actors and elOcutionists tricks of
gaging his audience and making his
hits. The idea is that the audience
must. first of all, be kept interested
and amused, and thus sugar-coat the
inoculation of the party's ideas.
The name 'Spellbinder'' originated
some years ago, when every stumper
returning from tour thru the country
reported at committee headquarters
that his audiences literally sat spell
bound" An association of spellbind-
ers was formed. and is probably still
in active existence. The ''profesh'' meet
together convivially. as actors and elo-
cutionists do, relate their experiences,
tell what epigram took" what story
convulsed the audience. what trick met
with a frost" etc. This is a great
country. and many different ways in it
for making living.

The registration of New York City
up to last Monday evening was 60.210,
which indicates a total vote of about
$4,000 This shows that compared with
the registration of 1904 about $4,000
qualified voters did not register. The
actual gain over last year is 1906, but
allowing for the increase n population
is only about $1,000.
