To those not versed in all the

both delight and astonishment in
the clear foreshadowing of the char

The spirited exemplary work
concerning clubs in general but,
Chickasha clubs in particular here
presented shows them to be not

highly interesting in historic sug'

Washington, May 2I,-Senator

this session Of congress and will use
mis- influence to that end. with

1t is known that the conferees

of the upper body who won the
fight for the elimination of New
Mexico and Arizona from the bill.
If Senator Foraker gives his con.
sent, the original amendment in
troduced by him will in effect, bat
not in its original language, be in
corporated in the bill. This amend
ment will provide that each Of the
territories of Arizona and New
Mexico shall cast majority vote
for the constitution at the general
election instead Of at special elec-
tion, as was provided for in the
amendment accepted by the SEN
ate.
Strong pressure is being brought
to bear on Senator Foraker from
all directions to induce him to &C

proposition. The democrats who
were his allies in the fight are es-
pecially anxious to secure the adj

The democrats, however, will moi

estIng program had been prepared.
First came the election of officers
for the ensuing year. IL was the
desire of the club membership that
the president. Mrs. DIR. Stubs. and
secretary. Mrs Bomgardner. be re-
elected. but those ladies We're very
anxious that others should share the
honors Of office and firmly declined.
Mrs. G.. H. Downer was elected
president; Mrs. J. A. Vestry, vice
president; Mrs. Mays. secretary;
Mrs. George Fernsel, treasurer.
Rev. Edgar then addressed the
club on the subject of Children in
the Home" and made il clear 10 his
hearers that he has some very wise
and decided opinions concerning the
proper care and training Of the lit
tie ones. Mrs. ). c. Davis followed
with a splendid paper ON the MAN

CUBA'S LATENT MENACE.

The turbulence In Cuba, the uprising
there of q faction which siezes arms
and assails the Government, is merely
a warning of woe to come unless the
Cubans can show more self-restraint.
There is a menace to the Cuban Gov
ernment in an insurrection Of this kind
that is entirely apart from the mere
matter Of putting down the revolt, or
negotiating with its leaders 1t is we'll
enough, of course, to avoid bloodshed
in Cuba. By all means that should be
avoided, if it is possible to preserve a
stable government without it. The
danger of bloodshed is that it embit-
ters certain families and influential
leaders who never become reconciled to
the power that has she'd that blood. In
bloodshed IS the danger Of perpetual
feuds, constant uprisings and an insta-
bility of government that is exempliGed
in certain Of the Central American
states and which has been their bane
ever since their liberation from Spain.
The great menace to the Cuban Gov
ernment, however, in this matter may
not be from any insurrect tionary band
that may take up arms, or from az
many Of such bands as may revolt
against the Government. The real
! danger to an unstable government in
| Cuba is from the tremendous invest.
ments Of capital that have been made
| by Americans and Canadians in that
island. The long railroad put in by Sir
| William Van Horne TO traverse the
length Of the island, the immense in.
! vestments Of the sugar trust in sugar
cane plantations, the enormous invest
ments of other American capital. de-
mand a stable, steady government.
The investors of the immense sums
of money that have been put into Cuba
will demand that a government be
maintained that will protect their prop
erty, If this is not done, there will be
an immediate call for intervention by
the United States, This call is liable
10 be joined in by the majority Of the
| wealth and intelligence Of Cuba, which
