remember that there are, both in this
country and in the island men who hope
for failure. and with opportunity will Sc
cretly work for it. Some have means.
and believe that greater opportunity and
stability would come under the Stars and
Stripes than under the flag of Cuba. Tney
are hoping for annexation. and baslns
their hope upon the idea that a second
failure by the Cubans to conduct their
own affairs will mean the taking over OF
the country by the United States For
this reason Gen. Gomez and his support
ers should move with care in all they do,
and with the one object in view of build
ing up Cuba under Cuba's flag. Another
protracted row over spoils of office, such
as eliminated in the wrecking of the
Palma government. would bring joy only
to the enemies of free Cuba.
In the Taft administration the Cubans
will find a sincere well-wsher. Indeed,
the strong men of both parties in Amer
lea will rejoice II this new venture In
the islands succeeds. 1t is recognized
not only that the Cubans are entitled to
the direction of their own affairs, but that
we have affairs enough to direct our
selves just now. We are not land hun
CRY. nor anxious to add to our present
difficulties growing out of mixed popu-
lation
At the same time another failure by the
Cubans would impose an obligation on us
which might lead to annexation. The
Plat amendment still runs, and under
that we are responsible for order in Cuba.
1t Is first for the Cubans themselves to
maintain that but if they fail under
Gomez as they did under Palma, the
duty, now as then. will devolve upon us.

Kaiser and Chancellor.

Unless there is another rostponement
of the meeting between Emperor Will
liam and Prince Won Buelow. to-
morrow will make history for Ger
many. Every hour brings fresh evil
dence of great anxiety throughout the
empire regarding the outcome of the con-
ference. Now there is an optimistic feel
ing that the kaiser will accede to the
reich stays plainly indicated desire for
a guarantee of future discretion in COM
ment upon foreign affairs, a guarantee
which Won Buelow has in effect pledged
the kaiser to give. Again peSsimlstlc
Impression prevails that the emperor will
grant no concessions but will stand
firmly upon the imperial prerogative and
defy the reichstag. Todays cables bring
perhaps the most Illuminating comment In
the conclusion that it all depends upon
the emperor's mood of the day and the
hour whether he is discreet and con-
ciliatory to avoid collision, to grant
an apparent concession in order to save
the principle of autocracy in effect; or
impatient of all hint of restraint and de-
faint of the reichstag.
One thing is certain: If the kaiser is
obdurate Chancellor Won Buelow must
ceivable. even in the unlikely event of a
violent reaction from the present basis
of constitutional government. that he
should remain at the head of the German
administration after having been repu-
dated by his chief on matter of so
much Importance. Should the kaiser, i'm
patient of this attempt to check his pre-
rogative, engage in a stroke of state to
.rli, frnn
his people-a contingency too remote for
more than passing suggestion-von Bue-
low would have no place in the scheme
of affairs. His speech before the reich
stag the other day was in effect a con-
fession of responsibility to that body,
and herein lies the grave issue of this
situation. The reichstag has wide
power in the making of laws for the en-
pire. the emperor having no veto when
both reichstag and bundesrath have acted
The prOgressives, or radicals of the lower
house, however, seek to bring the admin
istration into relations to the Legislature
similar to those which exist between the
British ministry and the house of COM
mons. To this end they are utilizing the
present affair of the kaisers interview
Under the German constitution of 1871
there is no imperial ministry, as the term
is used in other countries. The ministers
act independently of each other, but I'M
der the general supervision of the chan
cellor. There are no interpretations in
the sense of holding the government to an
accounting.
Tomorrow may mark a departure from
the established order in Germany, or there
may be compromise, or postponement
1t is significant, however. that all foreign
commentators on this matter agree that
even though the kaiser may refuse to
yield and may even seek to curtail the
powers of the rechstag in retaliation, he
will only delay the day of readjustment,
giving the German people the full meas
ure of parliamentary government toward
which events are now irresistibly march
ing.

Christmas, December IS.
From the Baltimore Sun.

rom the Baltimore 'Sun.
On the best of authority it can be stated
that Christmas will be held in Baltimore
this year December %. A good many
people imagine that 1t is coming some
time in the distant future; they can't tell
just when, and that in some unknown
way they can somehow escape giving up
any money ito buy presents.
Now. you may as we'll face the music.
Christmas is coming little over a month
from now. and the days will spin around
before you know it. You know you want
to give them all presents they will appre-
ciate and enjoy-the wife, the children.
daughter and son. father, mother-and
your sweetheart, if you are in the true
lovers class
Buy your presents now. You have more
time to make your selections; you can
shop with comfort; you get first choice of
the fine stocks of Christmas goods; they
will not cost you cent more. By doing
your shopping early you give the store
keeper and the clerks chance; you dis
tribute business over longer PERIOD you
accommodate them and they accommodate
you. 1t is of mutual benefit to buyer and
seller.
