ASSUMPTION VERSUS FACT.

The Evening Teller has had occasion in several instances in
this convention fight to assert that the being sent out

prejudice for the purpose of aiding him in his campaign The
chief of these offenders has been the Boise Statesman Mr.
Boras personal organ and the Lewiston Morning Tribune

alton in the southeast and the Trbunes reports from the
north have been warped by interests and the people
have been given assumptions instead of facts this frank
statement in the Statesman will justify:

strict accord with the program of the

and under his control the situation viii

matters were progressing very satisfaC-
1Orily.
This is the testimony borne by
Secretary Taft ON his return from
Havana. 1t is the sincere Judgment
of a sincere man and, no doubt. it
Is echoed by the whole body of his
fellow-Americans. But il is not the
whole story.
The future of Cuba as a republic
is hopeful in just proportion to the
supervision exercised over It by the
United States. Her career since
1898 warrants little expectation that
unaided she can long maintain inn
partial elections, an unhampered
judiciary, and a general respect for
law-and no republic can escape re-
current insurrection which has not
those three advantages.
In providing this supervision
America assumes few or none of
the burdens which follow annexa-
tion. In this latest outbreaz-reai-
~ the elimination of an unrest
which has prevailed ever since the
Withdrawal of our troops-our re-
sponsibiiity has been only to re-
store order and assure it as far as
possible for the future. Cuba must
pay the cost; ana the great mass
of administrative detail, like that
which now occupies the Insular Blu
reau in Hawaii the Philippines. and
Porto Rico, is left for Cuba to ad-
just.
This is the most favorable situa-
tiOn open to the island. Without
the guardianship OF this country it
is a practical impossibility she could
hold the confidence of the great ma
tiOns which provide investors and
trade. Were that suzerainty to be-
come actual detailed control. she
would cease TO be nation. The
only alternative to this relation of

The figures of Hill and Hartman
loom larger in the railroad world
year by year. Each has come into
control of his own immense sphere
OF influence: each has absorbed
rivals, suppressed competition, made
alliances. established a credit that
commands, if need be, billions of
backing. Harriman's development

some 1000 miles, into a continental
system approaching $4,000 miles,
with two lines from coast to coast,

paralleled by Hills construction of
his huge Northwestern Canadian
system out of the bankrupt and

These two men from out Of the
West have grown to dominating fig-
ures in the world of transportation.
Time was when Vanderbilt and
Gould were the names to coniure
with. Today they shine with sadly

Seemingly there is no end to the
ambitions and energies of these two
masters of the road. Neither fears

small doubt that they have hated,
