We cannot take for granted that the LIB
eral Government which Is likely 70 follow
the general acceptance Of the oompro-
mise recommended by Secretary TAFT
is foredoomed to failure. We should
wish 1t well and hope for the best. By
the course which our commissioners have
taken we are committed to the assertion
that in the forum Of equity the Cubans
are entitled TO q second trial Of their
ability 70 govern themselves.
There seems to be at least some basis
for the hope that the armistice now con
cluded will be respected and that after
the new elections shall have given the
Liberals control Of the insular sdminis-
tration the sugar and tobacco indHstries
will be safeguarded from further moles-
tation during the present year. Whether
the peace which Secretary TAFT has
apparently managed 70 secure will prove
lasting is a different question. Whatever
may happen in 1907 we shall have done
our duty in 1909 by saving the sugar and
tobacco crops. It remains for the Cuban
Liberals to do theirs.

rms EHicIency Record.

On Monday morning the efficiency
record system was put in operation in
the Government Printing Office. Under
It an accurate account Of the work done
by each employee viii be kept, and
promotion will 60 to the men and women
whose skill and application has put them
above their fellows on the Office payrolls.
Politics, religion or union utilization
will not be taken into account by the
managers Of the shop in their treatment Of
subordinates: the efficiency record alone
will decide the fate Of each individual.
Under this system a union man and a
non-union man will stand on the same
plane, neither starting in the competition
for advancement with an advantage over
the other. A fairer proposition would
be difficult to frame, but according the
dispatches from Washington -it is be-
licved that this new order will call forth
bitter opposition from the labor unions
This belief is based on the fear of the
labor leaders that individual COMPETE
ton, directly contrary to the principles
Of the union, will be induced. In sup
port Of this opinion it is recalled that
Assistant Secretary NEwBERRY's at
tempt TO break the union rules prescrib-
ing certain stints Of work at the WASH
ington navy yard failed, owing to the
opposition of the unions
The struggle for the open shop in the
Government Printing Office will be re-
Oarded nv the American Federation Of
Labor as another defiance of its efforts
to dictate the policy Of the Administra-
ton and the conduct of. Federal Office
holders. In no other public Office has the
despotism Of unionism been enforced
more relentlessly than in the printing
shop. Nowhere else has unionism been
more absolute. There is no other place
in the country where such a contest az is
promised between the open and the closed
shop could be fought more appropriately
than at the Federal capital.

Responsibility az Atlanta.

On a sensational newspaper much OF
the guilt Of inoittng the Atlanta mob to
murder may properly be laid, but the
executive officers Of the city and the
State cannot escape censure for their fail
ure in foresight and their neglect to take
measures to prevent riot. For weeks the
campaign against the negroes has been
conducted openly and defiantly in At
lanta. For days the whites were in q
condition bordering on hysteria. In all
this time neither Governor TERRHLL nor
Mayor WOODWARD did anything to pre-
pare for the approaching emergency.
While the mob shot, stabbed and
hanged negroes in the heart Of the city,
the Governor slept in comfort. The
Mayor was about the streets addressing
soft words to men who could under
stand nothing except cold steel and lead.
@The police were power1ees' the militia
was not assembled; the Sheriff was a
negligible quantity. Not n Of them had
taken the precautions that would have
been the first thought Of a public servant
Of ordinary discernment and alertness.
Disgraced by a portion Of their press
and citizenship, Atlanta and Georgia
are equally Inundated by their slothful
and inefficient city, county and State
administrations.

Selfish Cuban Politicians.

2 II Is an open secret in Havana that
Secretary TAFT and Assistant Secretary
BACON have seen and heard little Calcu-
laked to give them a favorable opinion
81 Cuban patriotism. Each Of the con-
tending factions denounoes and vihaes
the other, and the industrial and COM
merciarinterests denounce both. II has
been O discreditable exhibition OF indi-
yidual ~selfshness, party bitterness and
political animosity.
If the proposed terms Of settlement
shall be finally accepted they will be
accepted in a spirit in which patriotism
win find only a small place. It might
easily be inferred that both parties
pre- fer the loss OF national independence
20 the uccess Of IN opponent.
'eAn fair minded observers in Cuba re-
gard the proposed settlement as the best
that could be devised under the ciroum-
stances, but no disposition is apparent
among the wrangling politicians to
accept it cordially rs a basis for a new
political order, in which all would meet
and work together for permanent peace,
for order and for prosperity. The work
Of the American commission has been
carried out on the broadcast lines, but it
has been received by the Cuban political
leadeTs in a most lAmentable narrowness
Of national spirit.
The task Of the cotAnHssianers has
been hard, and has beem a1rrikA on with
consummate a and patience. What
ever may be the immediate or final out
come, Mr.. TAFT and Mr.. BACON have
done all that could be done and the best
that could be done. All else must be
done by the Cubans. The future Of the
island is in their hands entirely. A way
has been opened and it remains for them
to choose which road they will follow.
The result Of half a century of aspiration
and struggle should not be imperilled
by the disgraceful selfishness and politi-
cal bigotry of a handful of wrangling
politicians. The Cubans must get to-
gether on the foundation prepared for
them by the commissioners, and stay
and work together for the salvation of
the island.
