THE THAW TRIAL.

The worst has happened in the Thaw case-a hung jury. That means another trial and rehearsal of the nauseating and disgusting teStimohy before the American peO- pie What pity ii is that the jury did not render a final verdict in the case. The public is heartily tired of Evelyn Nesbit, Harry ThaW. Stanford White and the whole bunch of dissolute and debauehed1 degenerates. The world is. made none the better for knowing of them and their ways, and altogether it would be general benefit to society if the world could be re- lieved of their disgusting presence in any manner whatsoever The whole bunch of them are lot of moral lepers that are disgrace to Christian civilization and man kind in general.
 And the Graphic also desires to remark in this connection that there should be national law to prevent the Associated Press and other news gathering organizations from sending out such stuff to the newspapers of the land, and. in our opinion. newspapers that give space to such vile stuff should be denied the use of the mails on the grounds of obscene literature. In the name of decencyy( it is time to call halt!

and brutal The negroes of the South are hewers of wood and drawers of water, and are part of it's prosperity. Not only is 1t a duty to humanity to educate the negro, but it is necessary to the South's future growth and protcc- tion. Furthermore, the Graphlc believes the segregation idea IS wrong in principle per SC It is tn" duty of the rich to educate the chi'- dren Of the poor, regardless of t'sF color of the skin. If this seers:ga- tion idea can be applied to the pc gro 1t can le applied to any Ot"t' class of people and eventually we will hear the rich and well-to-do proclaiming that the taxes of the rich should be used only for the education of the rich mans chil dren. Education, like salvation, should be free and universal in eX- tent, and open to everybody. Bills to segregate school taxes should have no place in modern legislation or civilized states. It is a mani- festation of all intolerant and il liberal spirit that belongs to the dark ages. Certainly Arkansas should be more progressive than to pass such laws.

THE SEGREGATION BILL.

Postponing the Inevitable.

The State Department has for the
second time arranged an agreement with
the German government postponing in
definitely the application of the German
discriminatory tariff to imports from this
country, again averting the tariff war
that has been threatening for two years.
Though the details of the new agreement
have not been made public. it is apparent
that it Is based in part, at least, upon
administration promises 10 attempt TO
secure the consent Of the Senate TO a
reciprocity treaty. or TO obtain from Con-
gress some modification of the Dingley
tariff law In other words. the admins
tration has undertaken 10 bring forward
the tariff question in some form or other
at the next session of Congress.
So far as our present information goes
the standpatters Of the incoming Con-
gress will be just as unwilling 10 take
up the tariff question as they ever were.
their ready excuse being the proximity Of
a Presidential election. 1t will be difficult
for the same reason to get a reciprocity
treaty through the Senate. and there is
said TO be ground for the belief that, fail
ing action by Congress, the President
VIII endeavor TO have inserted in the
Republican national platform a decla-
ration on the subject of our trade rela-
tions with Germany It is known that
the President and Secretary Root are IA
yorable to the principle Of a maximum
and minimum tariff, and it is quite possi-
ble that the establishment of such d tariff
may be one of the issues in the coming
Presidential campaign.
However this may be, if is certain that
the temporary tariff agreement with Ger
many merely postpOnes the inevitable re-
opening of the whole tariff question,
which is bound to occur within the next
year. Politicians may temporize and
evade. but the course of events and the
momentum of public sentiment will force
affirmative action upon even the most re-
calcitTaut standpatteTs. When such a

gins 10 sit up and take notice, it is about

Onr Good Faith in Cnha

Secretary Tafts visit to Cuba has
brought forth a specific declaration of
American policy respecting the restoration
of the Cuban government that will dash
the hopes Of those influential interests
which have for some time been conduct
ing an active propaganda for a prOtecto-
rate Mr.. Tafts announcement that
municipal elections will be held imme-
diately after "a census shall have been
taken, TO be followed within few
months by the Presidential and Congress
sional elections proves the administra-
tons determination TO adhere to its
original programme of setting up the
Cuban republic as soon as conditions
would permit. and thereupon terminating
the American occupa ton. This was to
have been expected. as any other course
would have converted our honorable pro-
fessions regarding Cuba into a hollow
mockery.
Il all goes well, our troops may leave
the island in 1903. ending an occupation
OF over two years. "a much longer period
than was at first expected. President
Roosevelt thought, at the time his last
annual message was written. that the
provisional government would administer
the islands affairs FOR a few months. q"
1t was soon found impossible however,
10 hold new elections under the existing
electoral laws. and i'm face Of the irrec0n-
ciable attitude of the party leaders. The
foundations of the electoral system had
TO be laid anew. A new census as a basis
for registration of voters. new legislation
TO insure fair elections, so that the new
officers chosen cannot be challenged as
fraudulent, and a new spirit of loyalty to
party and to country, are the prere-
quisites to the establishment of q stable
government in Cuba. OF these, the two
first may be supplied by the provisional
government. but patriotism and loyalty
to the republic must come from the
Cuban people themselves.
'1'he United States wishes nothing of
Cuba except that it shall prosper morally
and materially, and wishes nothing of the
Cubans save that they shall be able to
preserve order among themselves, and.
therefore. TO preserve their independence. .'
So President Roosevelt defined the atti-
tude of this government toward the Gu
ban republic - his message of last De
eember. That is the position of the ad-
ministratlOn to-day. and Mr.. Taft's reiter-
alton of it. with definite promises con
cerning the elections. should set at rest
the harmful and useless agitations
initiated BY various interests TO force the
United States to establish a Cuban pro-
tectorate or to annex the island. We
want neither territory nor protectOrates.
and as our power 10 intervene whenever
necessary constitutes sufficient guarantee
that life and property will always be Sc

sity for altering the relations of the two

scheme of Annexation should Be
saueIched ny Government.
From the Piitsburg Post.
Andrew D. White, who has just re-
turned from a cruise in the Caribbean
Sea. in speaking Of Cuba yesterday, said:
Il regard the Cuban question as more
serious than our Philippine problem.
Cuba is a great negro State incapable of
self-go government. and everything that /
saw there strengthens the conviction that
Cuba as a State would be a curse 10 US
simply a vast rotten borough. with a few
wealthy mea IN the midst Of a negro pop
ulation. incompetent 10 govern themselves,
TO say nothing Of aiding IN the govern
ment Of the United States"
If this view of Mr.. White is correct
one, st affords another strong reason why
the scheme Of the annexationists should
not be promoted by our government. An
annexation in their view would carry with
it Statehood which would involve the
sending Of two Senators and half "A dozen
.or so Representatives TO Congress, At
present our negro question Is sufficiently
troublesome. without adding 10 Il by the
annexation of Cuba.
II will be better 10 permit the Cubans
to work out their own salvation and show
themselves capable of governing them
selves. than for the United States to as
sumo such a full responsibility of their
affairs as would be involved in anne1ing
the island Cuba as an independent re-
public apparently would be preferable to
Cuba as a State of the Union.
