PLAN TO RULE CUBA.
Negro Party Gould Win Everything
If Held Together.


Havana, Feb. l.-Organization of q
distinct negro party, with the avowed
intention of obtaining control of the
Cuban government, is being agitated
through the republic-and the move
ment has become menacing from the
viewpoint of the whites. This issue
has been brought to public notice re-
Gently by race conflicts upon the hotel
question, and the numerical strength
of the negroes, united, gives itportent.
Provision, the organ Of the Partido
independents de Color = Independent
Party of Color-prints the newly con-
structed platform of the party, which
contains these significant provisions:
"The Independent Party of Color
shall be organized Throughout the
whole republic with national charac-
ter, to maintsin,its equilibrium toward
all Cuban interests. ,,& gst
"The republic of equality, sovereign
and independent, without race discrim-
nations or social antagonisms, shall
get our support. "
To what extent promoters of the
new movement may be successful re-
mains to be seen, but there can be no
doubt that, if the organization of the
negro race as a. political party ever
should be effected, it would rule the
republic.
The Importance of the congressional
elections in July can hardly be over
estimated. Itis not so much ques-
tion of which party shall return the
greater number of candidates, as
whether the independent republic, un-
aided by American supervision, shall
prove itself competent to conduct an
absolutely fair and peaceable election.
President Gomez appointment of
Senator Manuel Sanguilly as secretary
of state ends the long suspense regard
ing that important Office. It is signi-
ficant that the president should have
gone out of the ranks of all political
parties to select Sanguilly, who ever
has been an independent of the indie
pendents.
The senator lived in Harlem in the
war of the revolution and returned to
Cuba under the first intervention, busy
ing himself at once with protests
against the interference of the United
States in affairs of Cuba. He is the
author of several unsuccessful bills to
restrict the immigration of foreigners

THUMB NOW INDIANS PEN.
Service Requires Impression of. Digit
Instead of Crossmark.

Instead of Crossmark.
Chemawa, Or, Feb. 1.-Orders have
been issued to the agents in the field
of the Indian service. to require thumb
mark signatures by Indians who are
not able to write.
Thumb mark signatures are now re-
quired on all checks, receipts and other
official papers, which were formerly
signed by cross-mark by Indians and
others. The impression is to be made
with the right thumb placed after the
names instead of the crossmarrk as be-
fore. The thumb-mark is then wit
messed to make the identification GER
tain and thus be an infaIlible method of
Identification in case of dispute or at
tempted fraud.
This was first done in the Indian ser
vice in 1905, when the system was
adopted as evidence of the authenticity
of written agreements with Indians,
the thumb print of the signers being
required in addition to their signatures
or their marks. The system now
includes the entire business of the de-
partment.

ASKS COOLER CRITICISM.
President Taft Asks Magazine Pub
Iishers to be Moderate.

HSneTS' 10 pS MOuGTate.
Washington, Jan. 81. - President
Taft told the periodical publishers OF
the United States tonight that, ii
they overloaded their criticism of men
in the administrative authority with
supplementary expressions and inti-
nations as .to lack Of honorable mo-
tives, nobody is going to pay any atten-
tion to them.
Although he made no direct allusion
to undertaking" it was plainly evil
dent at what he was directing his at
tack.
The president, addressing the period
ical publishers association of America
as their guest at dinner, did not give
this advice to the editors assembled
from all parts of the nation until he
had ,prefaced his remarks with good
humored treatment of his relative po-
sition to the wielders of public opin-
ion.

sition, to face them.
LAS to controversies, let me say
that all evidence-questions of facts
must be weighed broadly to reach an
ultimate conclusion. 1t is the case

denim them for their iniquities. The
evidence must be weighed. 1t does no
good to denounce person on the wit

"You controllers of public opinion
and controllers of the rulers of the

ference as to what you say, but at that
he will come nearer to doing right than

like to say that when you criticise a
poor devil exercising responsible po-
sition, first give him the benefit en-
joyed by every criminal, that of rea-
nonable doubt.

NEWS NOTES GATHERED FROM
VARIOUS PARTS OF OREGON
TO lRRIeATE WARNER VALLEY
Project to Cover 100000 Acres
Planned and Land Segregated

" OONCI iOOI0O0 fNSECS
Planned and Land Segregated
Lakeview-W Warner valley is to have
a Carey act irrigation project covering
nearly 100000 acres. The land has
already been segregated and engineers
are on the ground making preliminary
surveys. This great undertaking is in
the hands of the Warner Valley Irriga-
tion company, which was recently in
corporated under the laws of the state
of Oregon, withsSa capital stock of
$3.50, 900. The officers of the company
are4W. H.. Bradford, tipresidert; E. C.
Belknap, vice president and chief en-
gineer; C. H. Glenn, secretary; and
H. B. MilIard, assistant treasurer and
general manager.
/" Engineer Belknap states that he has
had engineers quietly at work for the
past eight months to determine the
amount of land that could be irrigated
and the amount of water that could be
developed for that purpose. No publi-
city was given as to their movements
until they had concluded all detail
work and had obtained the right to ir-
rigate the public lands under the Carey
act. 1t was demonstrated that. water
sufficient for $50, 900 acres can be de-
veloped.

Children Forced to Work.

Chicago, Jan. 3l.-High prices for
food in Chicago are driving children to
work. In the last three months 1000
more permits have been asked of the
state factory inspectors Office than in
the corresponding three months a year
ago. This is an increase of more than
33 per cent. 1t is attributed not to
any sudden demand of employees for the
services Of minors, but to the necessi-
ties of vorkingmen's families, which
have compelled children to work to
buy food.

WILL PRESS MERGER SUIT.
Pacific Roads Must Face Trial by
Next April.


Next April.
Washington, Jan. 31.-The president
has determined to press to conclusion
the pending suit against the Union and
Southern Pacific Railroad companies,
looking to dissolution of the merger,
and today concluded to deny the appli-
cation of Mr.. Lovett, Harriman's sue
cessor, for dismissal of the suit.
Soon after Judge Lovett and Num-
ber of influential railroad people ap-
pealed to the president to squash pro-
ceedings before Judge VandeVenter'
court in Salt Lake City, Mr. Taft,
following the course that had been
adopted in the case of the famous New
York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad
company, when similar appeal was
made, referred the matter to the at
torney general for examination. In
the New England case, it was found
that, because of action taken by the
state of Massachusetts and the insig-
nificance of the governments interests,
it would be best to abandon the prose-
cution of the railroad, and this was
done.
But Attorney General Wickersham
reached a different conclusion in the
Pacific railroad merger case, and today
he handed to President Taft volumin-
GUS report, conclusions of which justi-
fed the president in the announcement
that there was a good case against the
railroads, following the decision in the
Northern Securities litigation. There
fore, proceedings at Salt Lake City
will be pressed.
The status of the case at present is
this: The government has put in its
testimony. The defense must begin in
April and the usual evidence in rebut-
tai must be submitted thereafter.
Then the case will 60 to that novel tri-
bunal of four judges provided by the
antitrust act, known as the expediting
court, and doubtless in the end it will
come before the Supreme court of the
United States.
