Mr.. Magoon Speaks.

Former Gov. Magoon in his address
said the two questions most frequently
heard about Cuba were: Will the present
government Of the island continue to be
stable and should the United States annex
Cuba?
The dangers which imperil the stability
of the Cuban government, he said. arise
from the racial characteristics of the pco-
pie. and 1t Is not to be presumed that
these characteristics of the two and a
half millions of Cubans have been changed
by administering their government for
two and a half years Therefore, he
said. the question as to whether that
government will prove stable cannot be
answered except by the test of time
II look toward the future of the Cuban
republic with confidence and hope" said
Mr.. Magoon. THE confidence is inspired
by experience and observation during the
existence of the provisional government
during which ii clearly appeared that
the overwhelming majority of the Cuban
people are sober, Industrious peace low
Ing. law-abiding citizens, inspired by the
love of family and love of country, pas
sionately DESTROYS that Cuba should be
a free and independent state
The former governor said that he had
no hesitation in declaring that the Cubans
are capable of self-government On the
question of annexation the address SAYS
that the United States will not and can
not annex Cuba except with the full con-
sent of the cuhanS

Cuban Sugar Suffers.

The existing treaty he declared. has
not favored Cuban sugar to the point de-
sired by the producers. The margin of
protection given them by the reduction
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1909-03-28

of the duties of Importation. that Is to
say 20 per cent. is almost all taken adj
vantage OF by the spectators and re-
finers.
He said that for this reason the sugar
producers. as well as the tobacco man
facilitate the importations of these pro-
ducts. He added also that mortal
blow will be given to the pineapple pro-
ducers if the duty proposed by the Payne
bill Is levied.
The sugar problem, he said, is the main
one for Cuba. The Cuban producers are
following anxiously, according to Vice
President Zayas. the different steps in the
consideration of the present atriff bill.
Cuba needs a sure market of great
consuming capacity" he asserted Its
natural market is the United States. from
which II is separated by a few hours
trip. and whose extraordinary and in
creasing capacity of consumption guaran-
tees the sale of it's principal products.
On the other hand. Cuba offers a good
market for the majority of American
productions.
THE fame of Cuba as a country which
spends and consumes out of proportion to
her size is justified by statistics. And
that great consumption has increased
with regard to the United States since
the treaty of reciprocity has been in
force.
Politics in Cuba.
Vice President Zayas declared that the
political outlook in Cuba is excellent,
that the constitution. although like all
human works it has it's defects. is taken
as a whole good, and that it's apparent
contradictions and supposed want of eff
ficiency are due to the fact that it has
been applied only in a minor scale. while
at the same time the Spanish legislation
has been maintained. This difficult con-
dition of affairs has almost disappeared,
he said owing to the work done by the
advisory commission.
$50 that it can be stated he continued,
that the constitution is now in force
and that practical experience will expose
it's deficiencies and its Importance"
He expressed the opinion that the penal
code of the island should be reformed.
Speaking Of the recent elections in
Cuba, he said:
I'm the house of representatives. the
provincial councils and in the municipal
tiles. the two contending parties are rep
resented in proportion to their strength.
The relations between them are cordial
and will surely establish good precedent
for future electoral campaigns in Cuba +"
In speaking of the social question, he
said that in his opinion the race problem
does not have much Importance in Cuba.
and that the labor problem does not
present any difficulties which cannot be
made to disappear.

ACTIVITY IN
REAL ESTATE

Activity in the sales of property
surrounding the Federal building site
at the corner of Fourth and Richard
son continues, French & Malone hav-
ing sold their half-interest in the DIR.
McClane lote to John T. Mcclure for
5000, and other sales have been
made.
To give a clear idea of the transfers
at this corner some of the recent sales
might be recounted. The Doctors Nc
Clane first sold the 100 feet front and
83 feet in depth upon which rest
their residences to C. J. Franks, half
interest, and French & Malone, the
other half, for $1,000. This sale in
cluded the two residences but not the
Office building at the alley end of the
two lots. The plot was 100 by S3 feer.
Now French & Malone have sold their
half interest to John T. Mcclure for
$4,000.
1t was C. ]. Franks who bought the
100 by 1913 feet corner of the Roswell
Lumber Company, paying $4,000 for
it. This is the site of the old Shrock
Lumber Yard. Mr.. Franks also bought
the house and fifty foot lot just south
of the lumber yard corner of Mrs. A.
E. Bemis and lately has bought the
house and fifty foot lot just south of
the Federal building lot of Mrs. Ella
Slinkard.

Chicago, April 1.-THE 'Patten
Pool' has cleaned up between four
and five millions on the May wheat
deal, says the Tribune in a news ar
ticle and James A. Patten has pock-
eted fully two-thirds of the profits.
Market experts estimate that the bro
ker and his associates have sold to
the public twenty million bushels of
wheat at an average profit of twenty
cents, giving profit of four million
dollars, besides the profit on July
wheat, to say nothing of the Septem-
her and December options on which
he has scalped the market for a prof
it of from two to five cents per bush
ell, making his total winnings not un-
der five millions.
Chicago, April 17.-"H we seek an
honest class in community and hes
itate to take the words of American
farmers, we will not establish the
truth by going to the gamblers" Is
the declaration made by Secretary
Wilson, Of the Department of Agri-
culture, today in answer to the criti-
cism of James A. Patten, the Chicago
wheat king" who said the govern
ment crop report over-estimatei the,
conditions. There is sufficient wheat
in the country at normal prices to
make bread for America up To the
time when the new crop comes III and
those men who attempt to keep prices
up to the present rates expect 20 get
their money out of the common peo-
pie"

Best printing-Record ONCE.
A TEMPEST IN A rEA-Pc

"A TEMPEST TN "A 16A-FOI.
The new publication law seems to
and there is every prospect of less
legislation for some time to come.
The cost of the necessary publication
of city ordinances, ETC., has undcuDt-
edly been greatly increased but not to
the extent that has been represented
to the council.
The Record has contract with the
city for the publication OF city work,
This contract expires next Tuesday.
While under the new Republican law
The Record could hold up the city
right and left, it is not the intention
of The Record to do SO. All The Rec
ord desires is fair and proper price
for any work we may do. We are not
in the hold-up business and do not pro
pose to hold up and rob the dear peo-
nle simply because a Republican leg
islatlrre has given us the right to do
so. All The Record has asked in the
past and will ask in the future is a
fair price for any work we may do
for the city, county or private indi-
viduals.
The new Republican law was
passed for the benefit of several Re-
publican newspapers of the Territory,
newspapers that have supported the
Gang and will continue to support the
Gang. The Record would have been
cut out Of all benefits to be derived
from the law, if such thing could
have bean done, but it was found i'm
possible to do this.
The publication of ordinary legal
notices, such as those handled by at
torneys, has been decreased in price
SO far as their publication in a daily
paper is concerned, but there is a
cJanSo in fha hin which a1Sn c0p, JS
their publication in Spanish Papers as
well as in the daily, when such Span
ish paper exists in the county. There
is no Spanish paper in this county, SO
that clause would have been dead so
far as Chaves county is concerned,
had not the Register-Tribune taken
advantage of it and announced that
it will convert its paper into a Span
ish publication, under the new law.
Thus the dear people will be held UP.
But as the Republican legislature
The Roswell daily record. [volume] (Roswell, N.M.) 1903-current, 1909-04-17
~avs it is all right. of course it must

saws it is all right, of course it must
be 20.
This law was passed by the Repub-
hcan members of the last legislature
for the express purpose of aiding sew
eral Republican newspapers. This aid
is given at the expense of the tax
payers of the Territory. 1t might be
interesting to note that this 'iniqui-
tous ,bill' as it is designated by the
Roswell Bar Association and the City
Council, was approved by Governor
George Curry.
1t seems rather amusing to The
Record to note the howl going up by
the Republican weekly papers. This
law is Republican law, designed by
the Republican Gang and put into ef-
feet by Republican votes. Swallow
your own medicine, boys.

CHIEF WHITEMAN HAS A
.EIRlE 0E lis OWN,

When the fire department was call
ed out to respond to the alarm of fire
at the corner Of First street and Vir-
ginia avenue yesterday afternoon, it
was found that the fire had been ex-
tinguished by the occupants of the
house. Chief Whiteman arrived on
the scene a little late and found that
the house was one that belonged to
him.
AS token of his appreciation of
the good intentions of the Depart
ment, he presented the boys with ten
dollars. This would not have been ac-
cepted but for the fact that they need
ed the money very badly to help pay
for a new bath tub which has been
put in at the fire house. 1t was there
fore accepted and applied on the debt
with many thanks to the Chief.
No work was done by the Depart
ment and it seems a SHANE to take
the money"
