men for their future battle the indica-
lions are that O'Brien would have the
better chance for a victory. Jack Is
faster and more clever than Burns. uses
better headwork and has a defense as
well as an offense.
AS for Burns. he fights one way all
the time He has wonderful strength
and. aggressiveness and is apparently a
harder hitter. He always had trouble
in reaching O'Brien. while the latter
got 10" Tommy whenever he wanted
10. And the latter points are most IN
pOrtant IN a long battle. Thus, O'Brien
could follow up an advantage, while
Jack could evade Burns when IN distress

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Urom Our Regular C0rressp0ndenf)
Washington D. c., April. 10, 1907.
Indications accumulate that this
country is going to have hard time
letting 60 in Cuba. The visit OF
Secretary Taft to the island has not
cleared the situation so much as it
might. II will be at least year be-
fore the island can be handed over
to the natives, aud it is generally
feared that when it is there will be
only brief interlude before more
revolutionary trouble and the inter
vention OF the United States will
again be called for to protect Ameri-
can property interests. This coun-
try has hundreds of millions OF dol
lars invested in the island, and even
this Is not as much as the combined
interests Of the other foreign govern
ments. The experience of the
American ad interim government
has been that the Cubans are easy
enough TO govern, but that they will
not govern themselves. 1t is a case
Of too many of them who are cut out
for reporters and insist on being
editors. This government has been
besought by England, France and
Germany not to let go of the island
now Il is under American control,
the general fear being that the is
land IL left to itself will develop into
another Hayti under negro domino
ton. Foreign governments cannot
an rule understand that the United
States was sincere in it's announce
ment that il did not want the island
originally aud was not going to
fight Spain for the sake otaceuiring
il. Preparations are being made
for taking q new census preparatory
to another election, but il will be six
or eight months before that is COM
pleted. Then there will be another
six months before the elections are
held and the new government is set
running. Then there will be consi-
derable time required for the evac-
uation and most observers do not
give the natives more than "a year
and half after that to foment anoth-
or revolution. IL the United States
is forced to go back again and take
charge OF affairs, il is. q serious ques-
ton whether it may not decide to
stay permanently, il not annexiug
the islands, at least keeping such a
strict hand on affairs that it will vir-
tually amount TO annexation.

Equality Before The Law.

Secretary Bonaparte like other
Republican leaders refuse to endorse
the eternal truth contained in the
Declaration OF Independence. He
denies the doctrine that "all men
are created equal" because he says
freedom prevents equality. Mr..
Bonaparte, to prove his argument
that equality means Socialism, in
tentionally overlooks the fact that
the great Declaration does not de-
clare that men as they grow and
develop remain equal, far from it..
They are created and born with
equal rights-life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness, but very soon
they diverge and one becomes q
leader and another, even in free
republic, almost slave. One may
be Solomon, excelling in wisdom,
and another develop into a fool.
Why do we, under our constitution,
make all men equal, give them all
votes, the prudent and the impru-
dert, the rich and poor alike, If they
are not born TO the same estate and
created equally. The doctrine OF
one man being better politically
than another is dangerous and the
people should beware of il. Itisin.

At the banquet given 10 the Mary
land Democratic Editors Associa-
ton at the Eutaw House, Baltimore,
last Monday night, several strong
and forceful speeches were made by
leading Democrats. Chairman Van
diver, Gen. John P. Poe, Congress
manTalbOtt, Messrs. MahOol. Brown,
Linthicum. j. Lobe Straus and State
Senator's German, Of Howard. and
Clagget, OF Prince Georges were
among the speakers and there was
manifested a spirit of Cancellation
and get togetherness that was most
encouraging ard commendable. The
concensus OF opinion among the city
politicians was that the Democrats
would carry the city election by q
good majority. Indeed, there SEEM
ed but one danger and that was
overconfidence. and Congressman
Talbot warned the city leaders
against that. From all indications
there will undoubtedly be a united
Democratic party in the city and the
reflex result will be to encourage
and epthuse the Democracy OF the
State. State politics were not dis
cussed at the meeting.
