Should We Keep Cuba /?

The question perhaps most prominently
before the American public to-day is,
s.Should we keep Cuba?' The past rec
ord of the Cubans raises doubt as to their
ability to maintain anything approaching a
stable and effective form Of government
without the help Of the United States, and
il Cuba is judged incapable, should the
United States take the form of a protectors
ate or of definite and unequivooal annex

Cuba ?'' in the June number Of The Metro

several weeks Of personal investigation in

Letter to Rev. 8. billion.
Woodbury., n. J.

Dear Strive should like to ask your
advice on certain thing done: was 1t right
or wrong We shall have to state it, in
Guiding the names
d. j.. Dreicorn Is painter in Holyoke,
Mass John r. Donohue is an architect,
Springfield. nearby.
DonohHe was building, at Holyoke, the
Holy Family Institute, letting the work by
bids, as usual. Dreicorn got the paint job;
the paint was to be lead-and-oil.
But Dreicorn said to himself: lead and
oil isn't half SO good as Deyoe and it costs
more money, what shall do e He painted
Devoe; and after the work was done, told
Donohue, saying: If that isn't better than
any lead -and-oil job, I'll make it so. =
Was Dreicorn right or wrong IN painting
lead -and-oil job Deyoe =
You ask how it turned out. This was
six years ago. Now Donohue has another
Job there, big addition to the Catholic
Hospital; and be dosen't ask bids for the
painting, but says to Dreicorn; go ahead
Dreicorn and give me as good Job as you
did on the Institute. That's the best paint
Job / ever saw.
The question is, twas Dreicorn right in
painting Devoe when be had agreed to paint
lead and oil r.
That isn't quite all. Lead nd-oii is ex-
pected to last three years If Dreicorn had
used lead and -oil. there would have been
another job for him or somebody -else three
years ago.
Was be right IN losing shat job for him
self or somebody -else three years ago
The Institute took 200 gallons Devoe and
cost 81 600; the paint has worn six years,
when Donohue says it's the best paint
lob be eyer saw II he had used lead-and-
oil it would have cost about $4,000 for the
two paint jobs (six and three years ago. and
be hungry for paint again.
Dreicorn lost $1,000 OF business and took
the risk Of making Donohue mad and los
ing his business, forever; all to save the
Holy Family Institute $1,000 besides the
fuss Of paint job.

Pittsburg Millionaire Gets
Metropolitan Opera House
Place lie Coveted.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-For the first
time in nearly five years a box in the
famous diamond horseshoe in the
Metropolitan Opera House has changed
owners For a price said to be in ex-
cess Of 100000 Henry Clay Frick, mill
lionaire iron master and longtime
friend and associate of Andrew Car
negie, has purchased a coveted place in
the parterre row, box 10, which, since
the opera house was built, had been
owned by Henry 1. Barley, who died
last winter.
Mr.. Frick had the first call on the
box, having long coveted it, and it was
sold to him, and the wealthy Pittsburg
man, who is now a resident of New
York, has had the Barley stock in the
Metropolitan transferred to him.
This is the first outright sale of a
parterre box in the Metropolitan since
January, 1903, when the late Heber r.
Bishops box was bought by James
B. Haggin for $4,000. At that time
his was a record price and attracted
much attention in operate circles. The
last previous sale In the parterre row
had brought $4,000.
Box 10, now the property of Mr.,
Frick, is one of the best points OF
vantage in the Metropolitan. 1t is OF
the ~Thirty-ninth street side, and is be-
tween the boxes Of William d. Sloane
and Seth Barton French, who own
respectively, II and II.

MESSAGE OF
GOOD WILL TO
JAPAN
Secretary Taft's Delivery Of
It at Grand Banquet
in Toxic.

TOXIC, Oct. 1.-Secretary of Wa
Taft aroused the widest enthusiasm
and loud cheers when, in the course of
his speech at the banquet given In his
honor by the municipality of Toxic
and Chamber of Commerce last night
he declared that war between the Uni
ted States and Japan would be "a
crime against modern civilization and
as wicked as it would be insane" add
ing that neither people desired it, and
that 10Th governments would do their
utmost to guard against such an awful
catastrophe.
The banquet took place in the as
sembly room of the Imperial Hotel,
Viscount Shibusawa presiding, and
was attended by prominent officials
and many of the leading business men
of Toxic. Mr.. Taft sat OF the fight
of yiscount Shibusawa and Mr..
O'Brier. the new American Ambassa-
dor to Japan, was seated on his left.
yiscount S~hihusawa, in welcoming
Mr.. Taft, paid a glowing tribute to the
greatness of the nation which the sec
rotary represented. the friendliness
which the United States had always
displayed for Japan and the influence
which America exerted throughout the
world.
In replying MI. Taft spoke with deep
feeling and positiveness. He asserted
that the talk of unfriendliness between
the United States and japan was due
entirely to the c~ommercialism OF the
in America" The secre-
tary declined to discuss the immigra-
ton question, saying hat he would
not trespass upon the field of the state
Department.
TT has beer suggested he con-
tinued, that we might relieve our
selves of this burden by the sale OF the
islands to Japan, or some other
try. The suggestion is absurd. Japan
does not wish for the Philippine
Islands: she has problems of a SINH
FAR nature nearer home. More than
this, the United States could not sell
the islands to another power without
the grossest violation of its obligations
to the Philippine people. Under all
these circumstances, then, could there
be anything more wicked, more in
famous than the suggestion of war be-
tween two nations who ave enjoyed
such time-honored friendship, and who
have nothing to fight for?
ct gives me pleasure" Mr.. Taft said
further, ito assure the people of Japan
that the good will of the American peo-
Pile towards Japan is as warm and cor
dial MS ever. The suggestion of a
breach in the amieable relations be-
tween them finds no confirmation in
public opinion in the United States"
Mr.. Taft then said it gave him great
pleasure to bring this message of good
will from President Roosevelt.
Mr.. Taft's speech was greeted with
enthusiastic applause.
Aftey the banquet the assembly
..N1s the scene of a remarkable mani
f~estation of good will, everybody con-
graduating everybody else on What was
considered to be a complete removal of
the little cloud" which had been hang
ing over the fifty years of friendship
between the United States and Japan,
and rejoicing at the fact that a final
damper had been put upon sensational
utterances regarding the possibility of
strained relations between the two
countries.
