CUBAN SITUATION.

The ST. Louis Globe-Democrat |
positive that Cuba will be represent
ed by another star in our flag an
interprets military intervention t
this government as permanent oC
cupation of the island.
The Globe-Democrat has this t
say:
In Cuba the inevitable has
become the actual. The United
States flag which has been rails
ed over the palace and the rest
of the government buildings in
Havana will never be hauled
down. That Intervention which
President Roosevelt disliked to
order, has at last become i'm
perative. As the heads of the
Cuban government resigned, as
that regime abdicated its func-
tons, and as a motley horde of
rebels were at the gates of Ha-
vana. the Washington authori-
ties were compelled to step in
so as to head off chaos To the
utmost limit at which non-in-
reference was possible without
inficting disaster on the island
and humiliation upon us, the
United States withheld its hand.
Even the most timid or obtuse
of anti-imperialists will see that
our government could no long
err with safety or credit hold
aioof To slightly alter what
Tame said of the ancient re-
gime, "The Cuban republic was
not killed by its enemies; IL
committed suicide" The United
States troops which have en-
tered Cuba not only carry with
them order, stability. and an au-
thority which will allow Cuba to
meet its obligations TO the rest
of the world, but they carry an
American sway winch will be
permanent.
There are a great many, il seems
who believe with the Globe-Demo
crat that the United States made
mistake in her haste 20 declare he
intentions toward Cuba a
the beginning of the war with Spain
but we doubt il the permanent oc
cupation of the island would b,
popular just at this time. That thu
administration must have considere.

Broadway windows do the city
credit, but this is gala week. II is
not sufficient that the merchants
dress their windows in manner
suggestive of the event. The street
should be decorated. A thousand
strangers will be in the city tomor-
row. Let the stores Offices and resi-
dences be a riot of bunting and horse
show colors. II will indicate to the
visitors that we are interested in
what is going on, and that Paducah-
ans are capable of concerted action.
Chicago would decorate for an event
as important in proportion. Chicago
used to decorate for less formal af-
fairs. That spirit is what made her
great.

WAR HEROES HELD INsINCERE
Yale's President Criticiscs Careers Of
Some Generals of Rebellion.

New Haven, Conn, Oct. 3.-Presi-
dent Hadley, of Yale University, in
giving the undergraduates their open
ing address of the year. criticised the
careers of some of the Union generals
in the civil war as lacking sincerity.
During the early years of the civil
war" he said, there were on the
northern side number of generals
whose interest In the struggle was
chiefly professional. They had been
trained to lead their country's armies
and they Intended TO lead them with
skill and fidelity. but in the vital is
sues over which the north and south
were fighting they had no special con-
Germ. Officers of this type wished to
do their duty creditably, but their
eyes were on the reports which would
record the deeds and the army lists
in which they could receive promo
ton rather than on the deep issues
of the struggle. One after another
these men dropped out and gave place
to those whose military skill was
sometimes less, but who were In the
field to fight. not merely to get the
credit of fighting.

As the day for the immigration
convention draws nigh and the signs
of success multiply, we cannot re-
sist wondering If the members of the
Commercial club realize what the
success of this project means for
their organization. They were its
initiators, they must keep 1t going,
and with the prestige thus estab-
lished they must persist in their pub
lie works.

JENNINGS IS OUT AGAIN WITH TINE GAME
OLD PROPOSITION Of TWO YEARS
AGO FOR the FoRmArIoH.Fo
ANEW PARISH.
Proposed Division Detrimental.
4 Division OF the Parish a. Proposed
BY Jennings WOnld be Di,advsnt.
ageOus to the MAJOR Part
OF the New Parish.

Alba Haywood, the oil king Of Jen.
nings, was over Tuesday interviewing
the citizens of Welsh, in reference TO
the proposed division of the parish,
for which jennings has been working
for years. 1t is the same old story:
Jennings wants new parish formed,
consisting of long, narrow strip, ex.
tending along the eastern part of Cal
casieu. The proposed parish would
consist of plot of land about thirty
to thirty-tive miles long, north and
south, that is, extending from the
southern boundary of Calcasieu par.
ish to about six miles north of Kinder
and about eighteen miles wide, extend
ing west to the section line at Rice.
In our estimation this would be very
unwise and unjust division to make,
even il division were desirable. II
is entirely too small, containing bare
ly the minimum number of acres re-
CURED by law for the formation OF a
parish. Again, in the north part of
the proposed parish is u large area of
almost worthless land, the taxable val.
he OF which is practically nil. The
same is true OF large area of swamp
lands west of Jennings. Under these
conditions, 1t does not take prophet
to see that the taxes necessary to erect
the required public buildings, and car.
ry on the Darochial government of the
proposed parish would be exorbitaut.
The charges are made that We receive
but little benefits from taxation at the
present time while rascality at Lake
Charles is even limited at by some, ad.
hitting the truth Of these charges,
have We any assurance that conditions
would be ameleOrated by the proposed
change? The stand that Jennings Is
now taking regarding the location of
the bOundry lines of the proposed
parish is not intended to inspire an
overwhelming amount of confidence in
their oft reiterated assertions that they
have no personal FAX" to grind, but
have only the interest of suffering hu
manity at large at heart. No gentle
man, webelievs Welsh is too olda bird
to be caught by chat. This looks the
same today that it did two years ago,
and will be fought on the same lines.

An Appeal to Teachers of Caicasieu
TO Attend The State Teachers
Association, At Baton Rouge.
April 10, 90 and 91st,

This week we publish in full the pro.
gram of the State Association of Pub
lie School Teachers. We do this hop.
ing that the amount of good things
which will be given to those attending
the association will induce many of
the Calcasieu teachers to avail them
selves of this exceptional opportunity.
not only of improving their profession.
al ability, but also of enjoying one Of
the pleasantest trips that comes to
the lot of the teacher to participate
in. The school board in the past has
demonstrated their willingness to meet
the teachers more than half way on
the expense question, and while we
have only the authority of precedent
for saying so, we believe that they
will do so in this case. We appeal to
the teachers of this parish 10 the name
of the children you teach, to make
every effort to attend the meeting at
Baton Rouge. Go, get new ideas, get
new enthusiasm, get a broader and
more comprehensive view of the great
possibility for good that the teachers
profession possesses. When you are
filled with new enthusiasm for your
calling, 60 back to your school work,
and give your pupils the benefit of the
good that you have received from
meeting with the live, enthusiastic
teachers of the state.
The teacher of today is moulding
the National destiny of tomorrow.
