CUBAN EDITORS EXCITED

President Roosevelt announced in his
recent message that if the people of
Cuba wanted to rule thmeselves. they
would have to be good and behave
themselves. This sorter riled the ire of
a number of the Cuban editors and thev
announce in bold type that "Cuba is
now free and sovereign nation" The
editors Of Cuba should not forget that
it was Uncle Sam that made it possible
for them to become a nation of free
people and they should not forget that
the United States kept string on then
that they might be educated to the
point Of continuing a governnsst With
ont war every fifteen minutes. If
Cuba will just behave, she will find
that the best course has been taken re

KAISER AND HIS SPEECHES

The German Kaiser has recently been
accused of talking entirely too much
and if one should believe that only "a
dical statements are ever made by
the foreign ruler, the Emperor would
soon be in class all his own. But it
seems that he utters some very good
things along with the bad or radical.
Since his talking has aroused so much
comment in all countries, he has tried
to secure all the photographic records
of his speeches and has succeeded in
securing many of them. But it ap-
pears that one of the records has reach
ed this country and is now held along
with other records preserving the voices
of great men. The Emporer's effort
to secure this record has resulted in
some of the words being reprinted as
follows:
ITO be strong in pain; not desire
what is unattainable or worthless; to
be content with the day as It comes; to
seek the good in everything and to
have joy in nature and men, even as
they are; for a Thousand bitter hours
to console ones self with one that is
beautiful. and in doing and putting
forth efforts always-he who learns
that and can do that is happy man. a
free man, proud man; his life will

soo,uno GRAND Valley

That optimism which permeated the
agricultural and horticultural sections
Of Colorado in recent years seems to
have attached with particular force
to the Grand Valley. They are talk
ing big on the western slope, standing
on the eve of tho greatest era of
growth they have ever known, and it
is and inspiration to be among them for
few days Enterprises are the re-
suit of confidence and the people of
the valley Of the Grand are imbued
with that kind of confidence which
builds empires.
On all aides one hears stories of fol
tune making out Of tbs soil, Of men
made rich by the increase in land
values, of projects to recover more
acres from the desert, of electric pow
er plants, canning factories, interurban
railroad lines and new bitches until the
prospect for the growth almost dizzies
by its magnitude And the best part
of it all is that the talk is based on
realities. They are actually doing the
things talked about and can see yet
bigger ones coming. An empire is be-
ing built on fruit, populated with thrift

doing their best to satisfy the world .

About the time the outside world
learned how superior were the Colo

valley folks learned how rich was their

their production. The result of these
two discoveries getting together has
been to increase the price of produc

PRESIDENT AND Aooums

Ten to one that when the smoke Of
battle has cleared away, President
Roosevelt will be held in higher esteem
by the people of this country than are
the men, who are bending every effort
to besmirch his character by making
false accusations regarding the Pana-
ma deal.
But few years ago campaign spell
binders were greeted BY the largest
crowds when they hurled stinging
charges against the various candidates
and the more vile the speaker was In
his charges the larger the crowd. But
that time is rapidly passing and today
the man that makes the best race for
any office is the one that stands up
fearlessly before the taunts OF his
opponents and defes them to fnd
single thing against his character.
1t is true, there are scores yes hun
dreds, of public men that are hiding
behind a shield that if removed would
place them in a class despised by al
law-loving people of any land. The
humble laborer is not the only ons
against whom charge can be made
The ones, who have been making oul
laws for years are perhaps more guilty
of wrongdoing than is the poor mar
that is made to suffer because he doe'
not have the money to smother tn
charges against him.
Men, who have been called states
men, have spent time in jails and stat
prisons and. it is unreasonable to be
lieve that men high up in other walk
of life are just as guilty as those al
ready convicted.
| Joseph Pulitzer of New York ant
President Roosevelt are now engages
in wordy affair that has reached tn
halls of congress through special mes
sage to that body by the president ]
is to be hoped that Congress will act il
the matter and find thetrne condition
and the guilty be made to suffer. We be
lieve the great majority Of the pee
pie will stand firmly by the presiden
and that in the end their faith vii
have been well placed.
Roosevelt has stirred things in NOR
than one quarter and we believe tn
present charges being brought agains
him are for the mere purpose Of BELT
tling him in the eyes of the peopl
who are today anxious for right cor
ditions in governmental affairs.

WHAT CAUSES CRIME

From the Brooklyn Times.
That willy purveyor to the whims and
humors of the times, Minister WI Ting
Fang, originally of China, but at pre-
sent of all creation, says that meat
causes crime. The governor of this
state is assured that it is horse racing
that makes the trouble. Defeated
Candidate Silas C. Swallow will have
is that Demon Rum is the author and
finisher of most improved brands of
crime. DR.. Parkhurst places crime up
on feminine foundation, and Commo-
dore Gerry finds youth full of oppor-
tunity. Anthony Comstock holds all
nature as crime of the lot. Every man
to his own choice, although it appears
that Minister WI, with his simple de-
elaratiye "Meat" is perhaps nearer the
fundamentally of crime in the abb
stract than any of the American
specialists.
Meat may cause crime. But it is
lamentably on record that the lack of
meat causes crime also. Not great
| deal of crime is committed on full
stomach, and when prices are high,
prosperity is low, soup kitchens are
plentiful and honest work scarce, we
usually enjoy what the pseudtherapeu'
tic psychologists call a "erime wave'
Personally we incline to the opinion
that. more than anything else, oppor
tnnity causes crime.

more scathing araignment Of wrong do

Glenwood. This address should have
been heard by every officer in Glen

1t should have been heard by every
man and woman who believe that boys

heard by those who have become in

who have grown to think or who act

of less consequence than potatoes and

1s IT SOCIETY THAT Is sou1Lss4

There is one popular saying thar
corporations have no SOULS" anoth-
er to the same effect that "repubhcs
are ungrateful. Are they not both
too limited, Is there anything more
ungrateful or more wanting IN soui
and sympathy than society at large!
Society gives its components one
command: "work!o There is no es-
Gaping the order; man must work. He
works, nursing the delusion that 1t Is
for himself. but all the time he IS
working for society, for the world as
whole and. society takes the pro-
| ceeas. If the component rebels and re-
fuses to work society has place to
mt him: if he works to such results
that he makes more than society thinks
he ought to get, he must go to the
same place.
The prison yawns alike for the one
who will not work at all and the one
who in working exceeds the speed limit
If the worker fails at his task and
has failed to make enough to keep
himself alive, society tosses him
spare bone and tells him he should
have been more selfish; if he aceumu-
lates millions for himself, society sets
about scolding him for his selfishness
and devising ways to take his wealth
away from him. 1t has not yet hxed
upon the midground, but it is very
clear concerning the right attitude to
hold toward the extremes. 1t refus-
cs to say what it considers the mean
vet defies anybody to exceed it.
Whether the worker win or lose, soci-
ETY. takes the proceeds of his work. A
Rockefeller may make millions beyond
count from his work in oil or Carne-
gle the same from steel. yet ever socl-
ctv reaps the greater harvest from
their services. An Edison invents
electrical mechanisms and wins MILL
ons, a Mccormick a harvester. Howe
n sewing machine. Hartman rebuilds
a railroad; the men in time die and
pass on, but the result of their toll
remains ever with society. Even as
it reaches over to seize the product it
scolds the producer for the millions he
has taken beyond the average of its
component parts.
In Colorado, the man who introduced
community ditch building lost for
tune made in other fields. He built
the ditch and there was none to use
its water. In after years thousenA
used the water from the ditch that I.
mained, and cursed the man who had
built it. The ditch and communal
, building of bitches remained. The first
sugar factory ever built in Colorado
was failure; the men who put up theii
. money into it lost heavily; yet Colo
+ RADIO has profited in ways beyond esti
mating from the building of that fac
tory.
What does society which profits from
the work care for the workers If they
become unable to support Themselves
; they will be given their quota of bones
to gnaw; if they take up something
else and do it too well they will bt
asked to tell how they did it.
Before we complain too much of the
selfishness of the individual why moi
give little thought to the beam il
the public eye; before we appeal tt
the brotherhood of man, why not a lit
tie brotherliness on the part of man
