the whole machinery of government over to the Cubans second time, they are to be given political freedom in small doses. If they prosper under this treatment the doses will be in- creased in size until the cure is con- plete It is proposed that in June next the Cuban people will be asked to hold general municipal and pro vncial' elections. The balloting and general arrangements for these elec- tions will be under the supervision or representatives of the United States, but these representatives will in no way interfere with the choice of can- didates or officials.
 This election will be watched with interest, for upon it's proper conduct will depend the proposal to hold national election next January for federal officials. The report has been sent out from Washington that Sec retary Taft will make another visit to the lSlaUu III Jullo lO SlNC pCl ooAeAi attention to the first elections. Should he be entirely satisfied with the atti' tude of the Cubans and their budding responsibility for self government, he will order preparations for the Janu- ary election.
 The United States inherited a great deal of trouble when it pulled Cuba from the grip of Spain. It has been an expensive and in some respects thankless task to keep the Cubans from accomplishing their own ruin. But no other course was open to us and we must now follow our desti- nies in Cuba as elsewhere. We have the satisfaction of knowing that we have kept faith and that we stand be- fore the world absolved from the old accusations of selfishness and greed.

OUR COURSE IN CUBA.

Cuba is to be given another chance at self-goyernment under the strict tutelage of the United States, but this second experiment will be Of a different character from the first one which resulted so badly. When we cut the leading strings and told the people of Cuba that they were free to organize their own government we did not take into account the utter in capacity of the Cubans for the task before them. We did not realize that a people long submerged beneath the tyranny of a pernicious colonial sys- tenn could stand in the blinding light of freedom without difficulty in find ing a balance. Self-government is not matter to be done for the Gu bans than merely turning them loose to ind their way along the stony path of nationalism.
 Realizing this country's mistake in its attitude toward the Cuban peo- pie, the Roosevelt administration has taken a new tack. Instead of turning

 has thus declared to the public that the only person who can solemnize marriage in the sight of God is duly-authorized celibate of the church of Rome," is of the same "foxey" character as his insinuated invitation to his "good friends to celebrate mass for him. Note, did not say that he had ever made the declaration in the pulpit or out of it.' Nor does he deny repudiat- ing Protestant marriages. He says in his little book "The church recognizes the marriage of those outside her fold, provided there is no violation of natural or divine law We'll does he know that a Protestant minister cannot marry a couple in harmony with the divine law" as interpreted by the Catholic church. quote from Peter Dens, one of the leading au thorities in the Catholic church, the following question and an sWer:
 Whether matrimony between two Catholics, contracted without the presence of a priest, who can easily be obtained, in the presence of a magistrate or non-Catholic minister is valid? Answer: Mega lively, because the doctors are unanimous, that the law of the council of Trent is there sufficiently received in the Catholic community. Catholics indeed are there con- pelled to contract marriage before magistrate or a non-Catholic minister, but the matrimonial con- tract before these is not valid;
 but afterward in the presence of
 priest. they are compelled to be married anew, the rights of the church, prescribed by the council of Trent being observed, and then the marriage is properly valid." l This is the voice of Mir. %Lucey's church on all marriages celebrated ] by 'non-Catholic minister's In reply to this it will be in order to quote some Catholic authority to the contrary, or to show just one case where he has received a party 1 married by his good friends" or any party other than Catholic priest or bishop, into his church,

The proposal to build monument to the memory of General Robert D. Lee is taking hold upon the hearts of his grateful countrymen and his mil lions of admirers.
 A man of genius, a leader, educa tor, director and commander of men who has not been surpassed in the annals of time, a man of giant intel lect and as sweet disposition as a good woman, yet possessed of spar tan courage, this great southern chief tain deserves a monument.
 On this line the Richmond Times Dispatch discusses the proposed monment and the great character to whose memory it is to be erected very much to our liking, as follows:
 Tt has often been predicted that out of it's prejudice it would erect q monument to the memory of Robert E. Lee in the fullness of time the proposal came from the president of the United States ill the following language: & xa <. X E E1Hs-.uG,--
 Such is the career that you gath CT to honor, and hope that you will take advantage of the tooth an niversary of General Lees birth by appealing to all our people, in ev- cry section of this country, to com memorate his life and deeds by the establishment at some great repre- sentative educational institution of the South of permanent memorial that will serve the youth of the con- ing years as he, in the closing years of his life, served those who so sorely needed what he so freely gave.
 The Presidents proposal is an in- spiration and it has now taken def mite form.
 "It is proper that the memorial should be at Washington and Lee University, where he spent his late days in teaching the youth of the land, and we are glad that that insti- tuition has been selected by common consent to receive the honor.
 ''The south has commemorated in various ways the service which General Lee performed as soldier and patriot, and the admiration and de- vOtion of her people are instinctive, Were there no shafts of marble or | granite, no statutes or tablets, his memory would still be enshrined in the hearts of her sons and daughters, more enduring than brass. We do not ask for we do not care for, nation al heroic monument to Lee. His mil itary service is precious heritage of our own, which We are unwilling to share with those of other sections From 1861 to 1865 he belonged exclu- sively to the south, and those years oi his life are sacred alone to us.
 But after the war he belonged tc the nation, and his latter days were consecrated to the cause of educa
 tion. distinguished professor re
 gently said in public that Genera
 Lee had done more than any mar to start the educational crusade il the south, not so much by his teach ing as by his example. The mere fac that such a man should have give1 his latter days to college was ; testimonial to education which awak ened the nation to the importance O popular instruction. Ut is eminently appropriate, there fore, that the nation should erect :
 monument to Lee, the civilian ant , educator"

TO CIVILIZE CHINA.

One of the most interesting Of re- cent announcements is that John D. Rockefeller plans to give $50,O00,00o for the purpose of civilizing China.
 There is much in this to make us thoughtful. First the idel is so str- pendous, the amount so vast that it beggars the imagination. That one individual should have it in his power to make gift which would make a serious draft on the treasuries of the most powerful nations, shows to what fabulous extent the wealth of the American millionaire has attained. Not content with endowing colleges, libraries and churches, this Croesus seeks to make cultured nation of 100000, O,0O0-not homogeneous peo- Dle-to ciVilize, educate, modernize and raise them to the advancement of the American people.
 The power of money is great, but t is not admitted that even this vast sum can filt the barriers of racial narrowness and ignorance; or put more twists in their cerebral convon- tions. 'Aa- All. ' Aa. sss'ass. But more striking than the immeli1 sity of the idea, or the gigantic sum by means of which it is hoped to achieve the advancement of China, is the statement that religion is not to enter into the plan, that the imperial government will be asked to sanction the work
 It is planned to educate the people first in the belief that Christianity will follow, and the admission is made that the work of the mission aries has achieved so little after so much expenditure of lives and strength, that different means are to be employed by those who carry out the Rockefeller scheme,
 This seems strange, coming from the source it does, when one realizes that for years it has been argued and proved that Christianity has been the most potent elemnt in modern clVl- lization; that the one thing which has differentiated it from the civilization of Greece and Rome; which has rem dered possible the present position oi woman; which has educated the mass of people; has built hospitals and asy' lums, is the work of Christianity And now in formulating the greates' plan of which any single individua ever dreamed instead of working di rectly for the spiritual uplift, tht Chinese are to be taught the advan tages of western civilization as it re lates to the material welfare; to b' trained in modern progress and meth ods, both economic and political il the belief that ultimately these peopl so educated, as natural result, vii accept Christianity.

THE BROWNSVILLE SHOOTING


elusive; the bullets, shells and clips are
those of Government rifles. The attack
was unexpected and unprovoked the
soldiers were the aggressors, and all
who took part i'm the raid stand as
dSnberate murderers,' 1Qle Presi-
dent Dronounces the act zone of hor-
rible atrocity and, so far as I am
aware, unparalleled for infamy in the
annals of the United States Army"
The conduct Of the officers is being in
vestigated, but it seems that it was
not until the affair was over, that is,
until two or three o'clock i'm the morn
ing, that any of them became aware
of the truth OF the On-commissiOn-
ed officers and enlisted men, many
must necessarily have been aware after
if not before, of the conduct of men
who took part in the riot especially
those who were responsible for the
gun racks, and these have made it
necessary either to leave all the men
including the murders, i'm the army, or
to turn them all out. Under such cir
cumstances there was no alternative.
1T is vital for the army to be imbued
with the spirit which win make every
man in it, and, above all, the officers
and On-commissioned officers, feel it
a matter of highest obligation to dis
cover and punish, and not to shield,
the criminal in uniform. If any or
ganization of troops in the service,
white or black, is guilty of similar con-
duct i'm the future, 1 shall follow pre-
cisely the same course. Under no cir
cumstances viii 1 consent to keep in
the service bodies of men whom the
circumstances show to be a menace to
the country" The penalty imposed
was not severe, but utterly Inadequate.
"The punishment meet for mutineers
and murderers such as those guilty of
the Brownsville assault is DEATH and
a punishment only less severe ought
to be melted out to those who have
aided and abetted mutiny and murder
and treason by refusing to help in their
detection" After showing the numer-
Gus precedents for his action, the Pre-
sident, at the close of his message,
warns colored men that if they stand
by criminals lof their own race they
will make trouble for themselves. To
shield an evil-doer because he is
negro, means the inevitable degrada-
ton of the negro race; lit may and
probably does mean damage to the
white race, but it means ruin to the
black race" He has sought to secure
for the colored people all their rights,
and in precisely the same spirit in
which he has condemned lynching he
has acted in regard to this crime. In
one case. as in the other, he claims no
favor, but challenges as his right, the
support of every citizen of this Coun-
try, whatever his color provided only
he has in him the spirit of genuine and
far-sighted patriotism"

LOUISIANA TO BUCK
CALIFORNIA SUGAR
LOUISIANA PLANTERS CONTEM-
PLATE SENDING THEIR PRO-
DUCT TO CALIFORNIA.

NEW YORK, December 17-Louisi-
ana sugar manufacturers and handlers
of Louisiana plantation sugar have
decided to compete with California and
Oregon dealers in selling sugar in those
States. To enable merchants to en-
ter this new field the Southern Pacific
has made a remarkable cut in rates on
sugar from New Orleans to points in
Californit and Oregon.
Thes present prevailing rates are
81. 65 per 100 pounds to the following
points: San Francisco, Sacramento,
Marysville, Santiago Stockton, Bene-
cia, South Valley, Oakland, Point Costa
Crockett, Diamond, Antioch, Richmond,
San Jose, Los Angeles and National
City, all in California; Portland, East
Portland, Albany and Astoria in Ore
gon. The new rate, which becomes
effective November 30, is 70 cents per
100 pounds or a cut of 80 cents.
! Sugar consumer in the Far West up
to this time has been supplied from re-
| fineries and factories of that section.
! Louisiana sugars have not been in
competition with the product of the
Pacific Coast. Handlers of sugar in
Louisiana understand there is demand
for their product and expect that it
lean be delivered i'm the West to a
greater advantage to seller and con-
sumer than California sugars, The
trade expected 10 take this supply is
that of bakers, etc There is no in
tention of competing with California
in the sale there Of refined sugar.

President Roosevelt on December 20
sent to the Senate a message on the
dismissal of the members of three COM
panies of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, on
account of the reckless shooting and
murder at Brownsville, Tex, last Au-
gust. The message is from first to
last a challenge to the patriotic CO.
operation of all good citizens in the
maintenance of discipline in the army
and the character of the United States
soldier and an unqualified condemna-
ton of those who, on any grounds, SEN
timental or otherwise, would impair
either the character of the soldier or
the discipline of the army by condon-
ing, excusing, or explaining away
criminal conspiracy to violate law and
to commit murder. With the message
is the testimony and the reports bear
ing on the incident. The discharge,
the President says, was in pursuance
of his constitutional duty, in view of
"the murderous Nonduct of certain
members of the companies in ques-
tion," as well as of conspiracy by
which many of the other members of
these companies saved the criminals
from justice to the disgrace of the
United States uniform" Hhe would
have taken the same action, possibly
in more summary fashion, had the
troops been white. He rebukes the
imputation on the honor of the officers
who conducted the investigation and
the attempt to discredit their fairness
on sectional grounds and resents with
the keenest indignation any effort to
draw any line among them based upon
birthplace, creed or any other consider
alton of the kind" Consideration of
the report and evidence leads him to
believe that for the ill-feeling between
troops and citizns there was blame on
both sides but no excuse or pustifica-
ton for the atrocious conduct of the
troops" In that midnight attack on
! the town, from nine to twenty soldiers
took part, leaping over the barrack
walls, hurrying through the town,
shooting at whomever they say moving
and into houses where they saw lights
and where there were women and chill
dren. They wounded a lieutenant of
police and killed his horse; they fired at
other policemen. They killed one man
| and wounded others. No individual
raiders were recognized, but the evil
dence that they were negroes is con-
