A New York writer has compiled
some interesting figures relative to
the $29.24O,O 900 fine imposed by Judge
Lands upon the Standard Oil Com
pany. They will at least serve to en-
phasizc the magnitude of these figures
which make up the largest fine ever
imposed upon a private business
concern in this or any other country:
1t would build five battle ships or d
new subway; it would yield a
perpetual income of $4,027 a day; it is
more than the public debt of the
United States was in 1857: it would
make 914 tons of silver dollars, requir-
ing 3O4 teams or As freight cars to
transport it; it would build 1924
homes costing $4,000 each.

1t is to the credit of the Kentucky
court of appeals that it has steadfastly
refused to sanction the travesty of JUS
tice involved in former trials of Caleb
Powers as an accomplce in the MUIR

trial judge was d partisan of the most
pronounced type. The members of
the jury were little behind him and
the whole atmosphere surrounding the
former appearances of this unfortu-
nate man in court have been farce
and mockery Of justice. To fair
minded men of all political parties out:

The growth of temperance sentiment
in the South is largely due to the feel
ing there that sobriety is largely essen
tiaI to the solution of the race problem
Undoubtedly the negro is better off
without liquor. but the same can be
said with equal truth of the white
man, although the lower order of in
telligence among the Southern negroes
makes intemperance degenerate per-
haps a tritle more rapidly into the
srosser forms of brutality. 1t is evil
dent that the best thought of the South

Conditions in Cuba.

Mr. W. S. Long, who Is enjoying an
extended visit to Cuba, is very much
impressed with the fact that annexa-
ton to the United States is absolutely
essential to the future progress and
prosperity of that fertile island. This
is the opinion expressed to him by
leading Cubans. Spaniards and .Ameri-
cans resident in Cuba, with whom he
island" he says demands annexation.
The negroes, who are in a consldera-
BILE majority, do not understand the
elementary principles of y republican
government. They are no more
qualified to take upon themselves the
responsibilities of a democracy than
are the colored voters of the black belt
of Mississippi. The average Cuban
negro despiscs work as much as
he despises soap and water-and that
is saying a great deal; give him a nut
made of cOcoanut leaves, a wife to do
the work, plenty OF ulIt ana Hoi DC
and he is perfectly satisfied with the
whole world.
To develop her wonderful resources
Cuba should become an integral part
of the American union and be gov
erned by American laws. The business
and professional classes know that
their country if left to itself would
have to confront conditions of anarchy.
They believe that the only remedy is
to be found in an infusion of American
blood and energy.
The climate of Cuba is delightful,
the excessive heat of the States Is I'M
known, while crops spring up like
mushrooms overnight. Three crops a
year is the rule. l venture the asser-
ton that there are fully 100000 acres
of the finest farming land going to
waste in Cuba, and it will remain I'M
cultivated as long as the present
regime prevails.
Under American rule this, island
could be developed into one of the

Where is "OId Sumptuary."
(WaShingtOn PoSt.)

Not many decades ago there was a
period of long duration in which "Old
Sumptuary" held his place, as if by
divine right. in every properly con-
structed Democratic platform. In
those good old days our Democratic
friends did heartily detest and
vigorously denounce "sumptuary legis-
lation'' in all their authentic declara-
tons of doctrine. A Democratic plat
form that did not contain an anti
sumptuary plank would have been
promptly referred back to the COM
mittee on resolutions. Other planks
might be skipped by the brethren as
they looked over the press reports, but
not one of them failed to give a shaI p
look for "Old Sumptuary." Finding
him on guard. they felt that all was
well.

The swcltering weather of the past

Maine is indeed fortunate in having
Such manifold attractions in the vaca-
ton line to offer the heat-weary trav-
eier, ana it is no wonder that the Pine
Tree State is becoming known as the
playground of the nation. No other
state can offer an equal diversity of
scenic and natural favors. The splen-
dld beaches of York, POpham and Old
Orchard; the jagged. majestic cliffs of
High Pastures, Pemaquid and Grand
Manan; the marvellous wooded islands
of Casco and Penobscot Bays; the
superb PenobscOt and Kennebec rivers
and the beautiful Moosehead and
Rangeloy lakes, and innumerable 9TH

ton; all these are in a class far be-
ycnd anything of the kind which can
be boosted by any other state.
