Tawney's ReaCtionary Methods.

2 Congressman Tawney might be en-.
gagged in better business than arrang-
ing to capture a few stray delegates
from Minnesota for Cannon or any
other candidate for president. He might
much better seek to know the wishes
fsof his constituents in regard to the
presidency than attempt to drive any
Of them into anybody's camp. The peo-
pla of Minnesota are doing their own
thanking and it runs in favor of some
man of the Roosevelt type, in the event
that the present president is not named
to succeed himself.
Mr.. TaWney has set himself directly
in opposition to the vast majority of
his own people. They have no SYM
pathy with the assertion of states rights
as a mere negation of federal rights.
They have no use for the employment
of the cry of states rights only when
federal rights are being exercised.
The Foraker.Tawney speech, which
the former uttered in Ohio and the lat
ter in Gettysburg, on the same day,
does not represent the views of Mime
sofa people. 1t is we'll that it was
spoken in Pennylvania, where it was
more welcome than it would have been
IN the speakers home.
The first district of Minnesota and
the whole state are put in a false atti.

member of congress-. He is affiliated

American Influence in the West
Indies.

Indies.
Though the American flag is floating
over but single one of the nearly two
score islands that make up the West
Indies, the fact that the economic well
fare of almost every one of them is in
direct proportion to its intercourse with
the United States is strong indication
that the destiny of the group as whole
is most intimately linked with our own.
Porto Rico, our only territory, is head
and shoulders above all the other islan(s
in the matter of prosperity, while Cuba,
where American influence is para
mount, stands an easy second. Jamai-
ca, which up to the time Of the earth
quake stood we'll to the front among
the English islands, owed it's position
almost entirely to the money poured in
there by American tourists, to the mill
ions paid by American consumers for
Jamaican bananas, and to the relief
given the Jamaican labor market by
the employment of many thousands of
the islands surplus workers on an
American canal. Likewise, in Lesser
Antilles, Barbados and Trinidad, whose
trade with the United States is about
equal to that which they carry on with
England, and both of which have con.
siderable investments Of American cap
ital, easily lead their sister islands in
wealth and prosperity. On the other
hand, the French islands Of Guade eloupe
and MARITIME que, which have scant inter
course with America, are in about the
same condition as the colonies Of that
power in the remoter corners OF the
world, absolute stagnatlon. One may
be justified therefore, in assuming that
the influence Of the United States IN
the West Indies will never be less than
at present, and reasonably safe IN bel
lieying that it will increase even more
rapidly il the future than it has IN the
past. From The West Indies in Com.
