warm, The latest figures, just issued
show Duluth slightly in the lead with
Chicago and Milwaukee nearly tied

the record for the greatest number Of
vessels entering the port, and Duluth
for the size of its vessels. The pres

the figures referred to. is Duluth

ccipts at all ports were 6 per cent ia

fgrres An interesting detail re-
vealcd by tho figures Is the fact that
the size Of the lake carriers Is grow
Ing at remarkable rate-~the average
lake carrying unit this year being 100
tens heavier that the average year
ago. This increase In the size of yes.
sells has required an enlargement of
canals and waterways at tho 500"
and elsewhere on tho Great Lakes.
When Charles T. Harvey projected
the first canal at Sault Ste, Marie in
1852, the locks were made $50 feet
long, and vessel rowners protested
that no lake shipping ever wolad
need such huge locks" but numbers
OF ore vessels now measure 500 feet

Republican Victories in the West.

The news Of the latest elections i'll the
West gives no evidence that the Rcpub-
,ican tide Of success is receding. For Il
dozen years now it has been rolling for
ward and sweeping everything before il
and plainly il is still at its height. At
the judicial elections in Michigan the
Republican majority is estimated at
1900. almost the high water figure
for Michigan has been carried by the
Democrats but once in the past genera
ton. that being in 1880 when they elect
cd their governor by Il plurality of H.
100. But it is in the western NUM-
cipal elections that the Republican
victories are most emphatic and signi-
hcant.

Secretary Taft to Visit Cuba.

Cuba is doubtless justified in lookin;
the utmost Importance TO itself. He
goes there of course as the representa-
tive Of the government which as re-
suit of Cuba's demonstration of its
unfitness for self government, is man
aging the affairs of that island, and it
is not too much to say that its whole
future may depend upon the conclu-
sions which Secretary Taft reaches as
q result of his observations. Things
are very much unsettled in Cuba.
This has been chronic state of at
fairs in that island for generations and
centuries and the expulsion of the
Spaniards by our soldiers and sailors
in 1895. instead of bringing immediate
and permanent peace. simply opened
the way for a new series of complicated
problems.
Most Of the Cuban property owners.
resident and nonresident, have hoped
to see the island permanently under
American control. A large part Of
the population, however, has small
property interests at stake. and
through hunger for political spoils
rather than through patriotic motives
have wanted our flag withdrawn and
the island left to run its own affairs.
It's first attempt to do this was an ig-
nomiHious failure and American inter-
vention was necessary for the island $
own welfare and for the protection of
American and foreign interests.
Now comes the question, shall
American occupation be made perma-
ncnt or Shall the island be given one
more attempt to manage its own ar
fairs? The answer to this question
depends largely upon the observations
of Secretary Taft. The Cubans real
izc this and doubtless the Secretary Of
War realizes it also. He goes to
Cuba with his mind entirely open to
the truth and he can be depended upon
to employ all available means to ascer-
tain the exact truth and the whole
truth.
