A MURDERER'S MONUMENT.

Personally we are getting very tired
of the forgiving and forgetting"
business as applied to the rebels of
the southern states. They forgive
not neither do they forget, but they
of the North who defended the Union
and saved the South from the infamy
of slavery are expected to kiss the
hand of treachery and to stand in
silence while foiled but unrepentant
treason faunts it's banners and shouts
salvos of praise to the accursed Stars
-and Bars. No more atrocious insult
could have been offered to the loyal
people of the Nation than the unveil-
ing of statue to the diabolical Cap
tain Wirz. In all the history of
s crime there is no murderer blacker,
more indefensible. more fiendish or
mere cowardly than this monster
who starved his helpless prisoners.
who ordered them shot like dogs when
they sought to auench the burning
thirst in their fever-wasted bodies.
Wirz was hung. Had he had q
thousand lives each one of them should
Ahsve been strangled out of him. anc
sthen the debt would not have beer

'Wirz was hung. Glory be.
And now. the Daughters of the
Confederacy, forsooth, gather to
do him honor, to sing 'Dixie," te
wave their rotten flag and unveil 9

that they recited his brave deeds.

AUTOMOBILE ADVICE

Denison motorists should follow
the example set by Vail and organize
an Automobile Club. The special
duty of this club should be to en-.
courage roads and to assist in
practical manner in their mainta n.
ance One day last week the
Review editor accompanied the Gid
den tour Pathfinder car all the way
from West Side to Woodbine.
The roads west of Dow City are very
much better than those between Dow
City and West Side. The defects in
the roads were minor ones. however,
and we believe that the expenditure
of fifty dollars in little repairs to
culverts, filling up .tchug holes" and
removing stones from one or two
hills, would place this main trav-
eled road across the county in good
condition. While all of US are in
terested in good roads, the man
who has invested large sum in
an automobile. with tires that are
liable to puncture. is the most in
terested of any one. Our automobile
owners should keep on talking about
good roads, but they should supple
ment this by a little practical
work.
There is short stretch of road
between here and Arion that is full
of small rocks. Five dollars spent
for labor would clear this stretch of
stone for this year, whereas. one
jagged stone might puncture an ex-
pensive tire and jeopardize the lives
of those in the car at the time.
Garage men and hotel men should
be particularly interested in attending
to this road before the Glidden tour
comes this way in June. This road
is part of the accepted official route.
One hundred cars will pass over it
from all parts of the country and
their report of the conditions will
influence automobile travel for long
time to come. AS the namber of
cars increases and the feasibility of
long distance runs becomes more ap-
parent, the trade of these tourists
will be an important item. Denison
has the hotel and garage facilities
and with good roads it will become
la popular cross-country stopping
place.
Another thing we would emphasize
at this time is that few Of oul
motor owners are careless and are
running their cars about the city al
a dangerously high speed. It is bet
ter to curb this matter now thar
wait until some awful tragedy stirs
the public to anger. desolates some
home and fills some mind and hear
with lifetime of regret.
Many people are careless and som'
children have the idea that it il
smart" to stand in the road and Sc,
how near they can get to passing
auto without being hurt. Should
driver get ratified or should some &C
cident occur to the car, these littl
ones might easily be run over. The
we would blame the motorist an
have nothing but pity for the paren
who was the most to blame becaua
he did not keep his children fror
such dangerous play. RI
The automobile has come to stay
At present it is great luxury. SOC
it will be prime necessity. we migt
just AS we'll adjust ourselves to tn
situation.

A SERMoNETTE BY REV. BRYCE

From the Ashland. Ohio, Press we
clip synopsis of sermon by Rev.
w. E. Bryce. His Denison friends
will be glad to listen to him again
through the columns of the Review:
Mothers Day was fttingly OBJ
served at the services of the Presby-
terian church last Sunday morning.
Hannah. the Model Mother was
the theme of the practical sermon of
the pastor. Rev. VIM. E. Bryce. He
said. Zone of the traits which mark
ed Hannah as an ideal mother was her
motherly instinct, her desire for chill
dren. Her greatest sorrow was that
she was childless. Her constant
prayer was that the Lord would place
babe in her waiting arms. This
desire for children was characteristic
of the Jewish women, and Is more or
less SO of all Oriental women. It is
considered great honor to be q
mother. and the childless woman is an
object Of pity. This is as it should
be, and as God intended it. but in the
artificial atmosphere of our modern
Occidental civilization, with its lux
uriousness, and love of ease. and self
ish unwillingness to assume RESPONSE
bility the divine instinct of mother
hood is being in many instances pre-
vented and suppressed. There is 9
marked tendency toward small fam
lilies, or no families at all. race sui
eide, as our strong and virile ex-
president calls it.
CHOW it would be very unfair to
make general and sweeping statements
of condemnation without full know
ledge of all circumstances, but I dc
not hesitate to say that woman who
does not love children is monstrosi
ty. and that husbands and wives who
shirk the responsibility of parenthooe
through the selfish love of comfort ane
freedom are trifling with the laws o.
God. and will surely pay the penalty
There is q certain kind of sin which
is more or less prevalent in the bettel
classes of society, among those reput

CUBA TURNS DOWN
 STAINS PROPOSAL Spain Wanted Cuba to Assume
 Part of Public Debt NO REASON FOR DEMAND Claims Antedate the War Between United States and Spain But
 Cuban Government Does Not
 Consider Them Just.
NO REASON FOR DEMAND

Havana, June 19.-Secretary of State Velez, in reply to Senor Soler, the Spanish minister, has declined to consider Spain's proposition that Cuba assume a propor- tion of the Spanish national debt
 This announcement was made at the close of what senor velez described as most amicable negotiations between him self and the Spanish minister relative to Spains desire that Cuba assume propor- ton of the Spanish debt. The secretary today gave out the following official statement:
 "The Spanish minister to Cuba on May T. 1909 addressed to the Cuban depart ment of state a courteuos note setting forth the desire of his government to maintain the closest and most friendly re- lations with Cuba as becoming two countries so closely united in blood, tra- dition and mutual interests. He said that while his instructions were inspired by the most sincere affection and sympathy for the Cuban people and designed also for the attainment of such agreements as always regulate the relations of friend- ly nations, he had been instructed to eX- press the desire of Spain for a discussion of the matter of the debts contracted by Spain on account of Cuba when the latter was her colony. Spain founded her contention on the principle that a coun- try separated from another should be chargeable with part of the debt of the country from which it had separated.
 '"rhe Cuban government considered It proper to maintain strict reserve regard ing this question presented by Minister Soler in so courteous and friendly man. ner until such time as a definite reply setting forth Cuba's attitude could be given.
 Having studied closely the antecedents of this question, which public opinion Ill neither Spain or Cuba suspected or De- ing still pending, Secretary Velez re- piled yesterday to the note of the spanish minister and after fully setting forth the views of the Cuban government and the historical political and judicial aspects or the question, which was settled Tn losS and recognized by subsequent acts ot the government of his Catholic majesty, Al fonso Senor Velez declared that the ac- ceptance of the Spanish view was in- compamible with the provisions of the Cuban constitution to which Spain had assented in recognizing the republic. The secretary, had decided, consequently, that his government was unable to enter into negotiations on the question of the span ish colonial debt. He reiterated, however to inc minister the desire of the present administration to assist in every way in his power in furthering the close friend ship and strengthening the claims of af- lection existing between the two nations and by arranging the treaty of commerce so earnestly desired by each.
 Speaking of the exchanges today Senor veiez said the result of the negotiation was not fraught with the least danger to the amicable relations between Cuba and Spain.
