Tho New Cent.

AL that is wanting now is an order
from Washington to put in circulation
the new Lincoln cents, coined at the
United States mint in Philadelphia.
The cents-150, 900 of them-are ready
for delivery and are in the vaults of the
mint, awaiting the word. Ordinarily,
the announcement of new batch of
pennies from the mint excites no special
interest; but in this case, the fact that
the Indian chiefs head, which has been
the familiar adornment of one side of
the little bronze coin, has disappeared
to give place to face no less familiar,
attracts more than ordinary attention,
There are people who maintain that the
Indian head" cent Is the most artistic
specimen of our national currency. By
these, its implied passing may be view
ed with regret Even they, however,
will probably experience sense of
satisfaction that, if the Indian chief g
head must go, it is to be replaced by so
agreeable substitute as the profile of
Abraham Lincoln.

Must We Pay for Cuba?

In answer to queries by other Re-
publicans in the senate, Senator Root
says it is the duty of the United States
to pay the expenses of our military oc-
equations of Cuba. The United States
has vital concern in the stability of
Cuba, as the senator intimates. A col
lapse of authority in the island would
injure the interests of Europeans there
as we'll as of Americans. This would,
if continued long enough, tempt some
big European power to intervene. Then
Cuba would pass under an alien flag,
and all of the United States work in
freeing her from Spanish rule would be
lost.
But there is ready way to prevent
European occupation in Cuba. Let the
United States annex it when the next
collapse at Havana comes. The military
occupation of the island in 1906-0S cost
the United States over SO, 900, 900. The
Cuban newspapers say that their gov
eminent will never pay this debt. Nor,
so far as has been revealed along to this
time, will the Taft administration ask
Cuba to pay. The intervention of 1898,
by which we expelled Spain, cost US
5000, 600, OCO and hundreds OF lives.
That debt is also still unpaid. 1t never
will be paid. Nobody will ever ask
Cuba to pay it.
Yet the United States can not go ON
indefinitely saving the Cubans from
outsiders and from themselves. This
policy would be quixotic as we'll as
costly. 1t would make the United
States the jest of the rest of the world.
The next time that anything compels
us to step into the island we must stay
in. Annexation is inevitable in any
case. 1t ought to have come in 1898.
Our promise to abandon the island after
pacifcation was blunder which has
cost the Cubans as we'll as ourselves
money and also discredit. When pres
ident Palma called us in in September,
1905, so as to save the island from an
archy, our duty was to remain. But
this role of benevolent guardian has
ended. The next time the American
troops enter Cuba they will remain.
A warning along this line was given by
President Roosevelt in 1907. 1t was
given through the then secretary of war.
Mr.. Taft 1t only question of few
years or decades, probably only few
years when we shall have to annex
Cuba. Self government for any con-
siderable length of time is beyond the
powers of the Cubans. When the flag
goes up again in Cuba it will stay up.

The Deficit.

The financial situation of the govern
Iosnt was 30 much better at the close of
khs fiscal year on June 80 than had been
expected, that no one appears to be dis
posed to worry greatly over the deficit.
Everybody knew that a deficit was in
syitable and last December the secretary
Of the treasury estimated it at $l14, 000,-
600 for the end of the fiscal year. By
he end of February the situation ap-
peared to be 80 much worse that th 9
treasury officials began to think the de-
fcit might be $135, 100000 But little
later importations began to increase.
Perhaps to some extent because of an
anticipation of higher duties, and quite
certainly because of an improvement in
The business outlook of the country.
Stocks had been permitted to run low
during the period of depression, and
with more encouraging prospects of
sTade importations began to come in.
As o consequence, whatever the cause,
revenues increased unexpectedly, and
ths deficit at the end of the year is
somewhat under 100000, 900. So there
is already talk that the treasury may be
able to get along without borrowing
Money, either under its authority to
issue per cent Panama canal bonds or
3 per cent temporary certificates of in
7ebtedness.

The effort to have our country Edo
something definite and helpful in the
way of reviving the American mer-

sections and all parties. The CON-
MERGE of the world is being carried on
IN ships belonging to other countries.
The ocean trade to and from the United
States is being conveyed in ships that
ay the flags of other nations. This is
due to the fact that other nations give
certain preference to ships of their own

great trade competitors are doing.

they continue them. They are secur-

which the United States could secure
If we followed their example. Their
policies are business like and legiti-
nate. Our policies should be the same.
But we have not considered the ques-

marine the element of power and in

can be'made. 1t is an effort in this
direction which it appears is now re-

Webster Davis Troubles.

Quite number of Shiawassee County
people, including George Charlton,
Frank Willard, Floyd Burnett, Rudolph
Colby, A. A. Harper, g. ]. Cole and E..
J. Herrick have had to spend a part of
the week in Detroit as witnesses in the
case of Elizabeth Davis against L. War
dowski, being foreclosure suit on the
Webster Davis house in Corunna. 1t is
said DAVIS traded the home to Detroit
man representing it to be worth $12, 900,
securing three stores and a mortgage
on the home for $4,000. The Detroit
man now contests the mortgage claim
ing Davis misrepresented the value of
the home to him.
Davis had more or less trouble while
here having been sued and beaten by
the contractor Floyd Burnett, when he
built the home; later entering the gro
Gerry business which did not prove sue
cessful he was sued by Phipps, Penoyer
Co., of Saginaw, and they secured ver-
dict of 81, 400. Davis then decided to
go to some other part of the county.

1t is fortunate, however, that these
barren sandstone ridges alternate with
the rocks of different character whose
disintegration produces a residual soil
of remarkable fertility. From one end
to the other of the Appalachian chain
of mountains outcrops Of limestone ap-
pear in lines horizontal to those of the
sandstone outcrops, such as are cut
through by the Delaware, the Lehigh,
the Susquehanna, the Potomac and
other rivers just before reaching the
Atlantic coast plain. These limestones
contain all the elements required by
the higher class of vegetation, and
the thin residual soil over them has fur
nished the basis for some of the most
prosperous communities Of the coun-
try. The celebrated Wyoming valley
on the Susquehanna, the Shenandoah
valley in Virginia and that Of the up
per Tennessee are illustrations Of the
agricultural wealth which is supplied
by the disintegration Of limestone
rocks. In numerous places in central
Pennsylvania as in the mountains
south of WilliamspOrt, there are limit
ed .outcrops of limestone over which
have sprung up flourishing communi-
ties surrounded by barren sandstone
mountains, as islands are surrounded
by water in the sea.

The blue grass region In Kentucky
is similarly situated, being b0rdered
by barren outcrops of DevoniAn sub
carboniferous conglomerates and sand
stones, while the thin covering Of soil
resulting from the disintegrtion Of
the Silurian limestone supports veg
citation which furnishes the elements
most necessary for the best develop
ment of cattle and horses, Snd so in
considerable measure accounts for the
pre-eminence of that region IN those
departments of industry. It would
not be strange, also, If the pre-enl-
inence claimed by the KentIckians for
the beauty of their women and the
strong physique of their men were due
to this gift from nature Of a richly
endowed limestone soil.
The agricultural richness Of Pales-
tine is traceable to a similar cause.
Soil there which would seem to west
ern farmer worthless, produces the
finest vineyards and the most flourish
ing olive groves, because the disinte-
grafton constantly going on in the
fragments Of limestone rock that cover
the surface annually supplies the ele-
ments needed for these most impor-
tant ministers to human need.
