cUBA,s FUTURE.

Giving full force and credit to the
absolute sincerity of Secretary Taft in
his announcement that the United
States Government will withdraw COM
pletely from Cuba early in the spring
of 1909, in furtherance of the original
pledge for Cuba's independence, there
is yet a rather widespread feeling that
circumstances will not permit the per-
manence of the guarantee. 1t is true
that the country has now been tran
quilted and that peace reigns, and
the reason for delaying the departure
of the provisional government is that
it will take the intervening time to
complete the census, hold the elections
and install the new President and Con-
gress.
The danger is that with the with
drawal of the American troops, the con-
dition of peace established only by
their presence and efforts may depart.
Many in Cuba and here are convinced
of this. All the business interests on
the island demand that the Americans
shall stay, certain that only will in
sure tranquility and stability of gov
eminent. This latest start we are CIV
ing the island may keep it steady for
a while, but if it does the odds are
long that it will have to be done al
over again. In all probability it will
Ultimately wind up in Cuba becoming a
part of the United States.

of our exports of manufactures have
gone up by leaps and bounds, show
ing our tremendous industrial energy
and productlveness. A further cause
for self-gratulation is the fact that
the value of our exports of this class of
goods last year exceeded that of our
imports by $40. 900, 900. 1t is only
within the last ten years that the bal
ance of the trade has been in our
favor. Prior to 1897 1t was always
against us.

womcn WIN Smoke.

1t is not worth while for men to get
in a state Of mind about women smoking
in America. A few of them will avail
themselves of their privileges by smok-
ing in restaurants, as they have availed
themselves of their right to smoke in the
privacy of their homes. The number will
be negligible. and they will be of a type
that has always existed in society but
never ordered its affairs or written its
conventions. The American man will con-
inue to hold to his standards of womanly
refinement and d~elicacy and ontinue to
discriminate between the perfume of violets
and cigarettes. He will remain, as here
tofore, without any right to demand hat
woman shall live up to his standards or
ascend to and remain upon the pedestal he
erects for her occupancy. He will have,
as heretofore, the right to bow down to
the woman in whom his ideals are realized,
and to bow politely to n look down
upon the woman who seeks equality with
men by copying their coarseness. There
is no cause for a quarrel as to the woman's
right to do as she pleases.-Louisville

OUR EXPORTED MANUFACTURES.

Exports OF manufactures from the
United States in the calendar year
just closed even exceeded the forecasts
made some weeks ago, amounting to
the great value of $3.50, OOO, 900, or an
average of $4,000, 900 a day for the en-
tire year This is more than double
the value exported ten year ago. The
record for the month of June, 1907,
alone was as large as that of the en-
tire year 1870.

1t is now illegal to exhibit or sell
game of any kind in this State, and
dealers who do can be prosecuted and
fined. 1t is also illegal to fish through
the ice for fish in our lakes and
streams. The law in this respect is,
however, violated every January. The
lakes are stocked every year at the ex-
pense Of the State, and in the winter
when they are frozen over and the
fish are alternating mon go out, cut
holes in the ice, attract the fish to the

Since Camden Republican leaders do
not want State Comptroller Morgan re-
elected in legislative joint meeting, 1t
is certainly not unreasonable for Essex
to put forward a candidate in the per-
son of George e. Halsey. of East Or
ange. Last year Essex Republicans
were clearly entitled to the election for
United States Senator. both by the
majority vote of the primaries in the
State and by the majority vote in the
caucus, but the senatorship went to
Middle Jersey. Turn about is fair play,
and the election of an Essex candidate
for Comptroller would be some COM
pensation for hat unfair loss.

President Roosevelt mas acted with due
deliberation and conspicuous fairness in
the matter Of using United States troops
in Nevada. 1t appears from all the pro-
ceedings in this case that all sides have
been given a full and impartial hearing,
and the course of the President is aiken
only after he has become satisfied that
the State of Nevada has completely failed
to do its duty. 1t is no part of the func-
ions of the United States government to
furnish a police force or a sheriff's posse
for States which make no effort in that
direction, and the rebuke administered in
this case should be as effective as 1t is
merited.-Troy Times.

The Crime Of Being short.


Why should a man whose height falls
below five feet four inches not be eligible
for appointment as a letter carrier?
Why must an employee in the railway
mail service be at least five feet six inches?
And why should another inch of height
be insisted on in the case of meat taggers
in the Department of Agriculture?
There may be some reason for all this,
but on their face these determinations
are dark mysteries. and they Invite sus-
picion, the more because they agree with
the way In which civil service commissions
are inclined to do things. Their DISPOSE
ton is and always has been to lay the
greatest stress on what is of the least inn
portance and to judge the merits of appli-
cants by standards which have no rela-
tion TO the duties they are seeking to per-
form.
What difference does 1t make to anyone.
for instance, whether a letter carrier is tall
or short? The point Is whether he can
get over the ground, and long legs don't
necessarily mean a greater activity.
AS President Roosevelt is looking INTO
this stature business, the short Fellows
may expect hereafter to get a square deal.

what's the Matter with Kentuckyl

WIN
The time Is here for kentucky to re-
deem it's reputation. The State was
harmed when in the notorious Breathitt
County assassinations it was unable to
punish the known guilty. One Judge Har-
gis was denounced by such papers as the
Courier-Journal as fit for the gallows, and
proof was not wanting, yet the gallows
was cheated of Hargis and his clan.
Strangely enough. Hargis was forced to
pay civil damages toAthe widow of o man
of whose murder he had been acquitted.
There has been in the prolonged lmpris-
onment of Caleb Powers another exempli-
fcation of the pitiful state to which the
courts of that Commonwealth have fallen.
While there is no method of declaring the
guilt or the innocence of the prisoner, the
conviction is broad as the land that there
is no means in Kentucky by which the
accused can have a fair trial. The earlier
trials were mockeries, in the outcome of
which there was discerned nothing but
the ebullition of partisan spite.
There was a man who won fame by the
query, "What is the matter with Kan
sas?' The whole country is asking a SINH
lar question in relation to Kentucky

The Real Story Of Inc RUSSIAN Empres.

minister of public instruction, he once
appealed to the empress to aid him in
extending the educational advantages of
the empire to the girls and young women
Of the country. Il have Count Tolstoy's
own permission to relate this incident)

attentively as he set forth the needs Of
Russia in this direction, and when he
had concluded. she replied that she
