The government at Havana evidently
feels alarmed, for 1t is exerting itself to
the utmost to check the revolt in it's first
stage. stripping the garrison at Havana
in order to put every available soldier in
the field. If these measures are con-
Quoted vigorously they should quell the
revolt in short order. unless. in truth. 1t is
but the beginning OF a general black up
rising, in which case the plight of the
government may become desperate. The
final result depends upon the question of
funds and munitions. IL the insurgents
have sufficient resources to arm the peo-
pie whom they enlist, they may put an
army in the field that will hold the gov
eminent off long enough to force the
granting of terms. The United States, of
course. will watch the situation closely,
and will be prepared, il the necessity
arises, to take a hand on short notice TO
prevent the development of a state of
war in the island to the prejudice Of
American interests there.

The Loan Shark Bill in Conference.

The loan shark bill is now in conference
between the House and Senate, and it is
expected that an earnest effort will be
made TO secure an agreement before the
session ends. The first point of impor-
lance is TO search the bill thoroughly for
anything suggestive of Joker or pro-
vision which might be so interpreted as to
nullify the main object of the mea sure
when enacted into law. 1t has been limited
that there is such a clause in the BILL and
that in consequence of il the statute If
enacted in the terms now proposed.
would he futile a means of checking
extortionate usury or permitting small
borrowers to obtain loans. There should
be no difficulty about writing a bill which
keeps the interest rate on unsecured
loans at reasonable figure, which will
give the money lenders a fair return
without mulcting the borrowers In petty
penalties. Certainly no obstacle should
be put in the way of enactment now that
both houses have agreed upon the princi-
pie of loan regulation and have gone so far
as 10 pass bills that differ in details only
slightly.

Motor Stealing.

A bill introduced in the House the other
day should be vigorously pressed to the
point of passage at this session. 1t Is In
tended TO impose such a penalty upon au-
tomobile borrowing that the practice will
be rendered too dangerous to be INDUCED
in. The penalty at present is comparatively
a small one and is by no means common
sufate with the offense. This bill, intro
duced by Representative Johnson of Ken
lucky. proposes to punish the unauthor-
lied taking of automobiles by imprison-
ment for from one to ten years Many
tragedies have been enacted in the course
of 10y riding in this country during
the last few years. Valuable cars have
been wrecked by chauffeurs who have
taken them from garages without permits
sion. Innocent lives have been sacrificed
The other day in Chicago five people were
drowned when a car was sent through an
open draw into the Calumet river. The
machine had been taken by the chauffeur
from the owners garage secretly. There
is but little difference between the unwar-
ranted taking of cars by chauffeurs and
the taking of cars from street stands by
others. In any case machines are being
put to unauthorized use and there is no
real distinction between this and stealing.
Those who take cars from street stands
cannot be regarded as other than guilty
of grand larceny. They may not intend
to keep the machines. because they recog-
nize the difficulty of disposing of them
and hiding their identity. but at the time
of the taking they are just as much
guilty of theft as though they stole Jewels
from house. The Johnson bill, rating
auto taking as felony. would go far to
put stop to this line of mischievous ac-
tivity.

The Cuban Revolt.

The reports from Cuba indicate a dis
quieting state Of unrest in the central
provinces, which have been perennially
the scene of disturbance. There are con-
ficting statements as to the number of
men in arms denying the authority Of the
government at Havana, the officials at
the capital asserting that there are no
more than $50 insurgents in the field
while some OF the dispatches state that
there are fully 1000. The truth probably
lies between these extremes, and 1t is re-
liably indicated that insurgent leaders
have about 900 armed and mounted fol-
lowers. II this is the fact. they may give
the government considerable trouble. and
II there Is real discomfort, and especially
IL there are funds to finance such q move
ment. the revolt may spread seriously.
The most sinister phase Of the situation
Is that the leaders are preaching an anti

New York is greatly agitated just now
over the action of some of the judges
who have been showing exceptional
leniency to prisoners and releasing them
on suspended sentences. There has been
a verita bic epidemic of mercy in the courts
and as a result crooks and thugs are pass
ing through the forms of arrest and trial
with little check upon their mischevous
industry. They have been released under
suspension of sentence in dozens of cases,
and in other cases where sentences have
been imposed they have secured freedom
until the cry has arisen that the law is
no longer protection to the community.
Thus far the protest has not been effect
i've. and the courts continue to release
under suspension of sentence men who
are believed to be positively dangerous
characters and whose police records are
not such as to justify clenency in the
least degree.
Undeniably. the tendency today is
toward greater degree of mercy toward
the first offender. The legislatures of
several states have passed laws establish
ing systems of probation and parole. Con-
gress having given the District of Column
bia a similar law which enables the
judges to offer another chance to a man
who gives promise of reformation. But
there is a great difference between show
ing mercy to first offenders and suspend
ing the sentences of confirmed GRIM
inals, members of the class, so
large in all the great cities. who
constitute an almost organized sys-
tenn of attack upon the rights of cit-
zens. 1t is believed in New York today
that many of the men to whom mercy
has been shown in the courts are under
the protection of influential politicians, at
whose instance the machine-made judges
have been going through the motions of
bestowing discriminating justice. New
York has passed through such ex-
periences before, and the evil usually con-
tinues until public patience is exhausted
and an exposure comes, perhaps with di-
rect charges against officials. An out
break of this kind just at present would
furnish interesting campaign material.

ON the accession of Col Roosevelt to the
presidency he remembered with all the
intensity of his temperament the dying
words OF Mckinley"
Yes. indeed, And to show with what
Intensity he remembered them, let the
record be cited.
Mr. Mckinley in his dying words de-
clared for a revision of the tariff He had
assisted in the preparation Of the Dingiey
law. and had rejoiced in its extraordinary
success. He had seen it put into opera
ton at time of great business depres-
sion, and seen business revive under it
and come to extraordinary proportions.
But the very success or the law had
made revision necessary after five years.
The new and prosperous conditions which
II had created demanded schedules to
correspond with them, and these were
recommended by Mr.. Mckinley at Buffalo

The Ohio Result.

The result i'm Ohio is a grievous disap-
pointment to the friends of Mr.. Taft. 1t
cuts down slightly the narrow margin be-
tween the aggregate of nominal Taft
delegates already chosen and the number
necessary To control the convention, but,
on the other hand, il involves defeat of
the President in his home state dixie that
of Mr. Roosevelt in New York; at crisis
in the campaign under spectacular condi-
tons which have attracted the attention
of the whole country 10 this test OF
strength.
The first delverances of the managers OF
Mr.. Tafts Ohio campaign are not impress
sive One of them is that ''misrepresenta-
ton and prejudice against President Tart
took early root in Ohio They took early
root everywhere. The task in hand was
10 uproot them. Mr.. Roosevelt's whole
case has been based upon perversion
of the Taft record and abuse of Mr.. Taft,
and Mr.. Roosevelt has led in the as
saults, He was especially reckless in his
statements while on the Ohio stump And
yet he swept things in many localities
in that state. Mr.. Taft in person ex-
posed the character of the oppositions
campaign. But it did no good.
And what news is there in the state
well supplied with money? That has
. been true everywhere. The same report
came from Indiana, Illinois and Pennsyl-
vania In New York $4,000 found cir
eulation in one county. although to no
purpose. And then there have been the
Roosevelt maneuvers in the south, which
must have necessitated heavy outlay.
The Roosevelt movement has been, and
is still being, heavily backed by men
close to trust influences. 1t has not
anywhere lacked for money support.
But the fact remains that misrepre-
ssentation and prejudice and personal
abuse directed at the President have
shown power in the Presidents own
state, and the returns there are certain
to hearten the Roosevelt supporters in
the states yet to express themselves as
TO the Chicago nomination.
II is more to the real point to con-
slider that political conditions generally
in Ohio are unusual Gov. Harmon's ex
perience is inexplicable according to rules
He had hundred thousand majority in
his second race for governor; and that
should have insured him a waik-over for
state instructions at Baltimore. And yet
Mr.. Bryan. who had sympathized with
his aspirations for second term at CO.
lumbus, invaded the state and asked the
democratic voters to declare against Gov
Harmon for President
Mr. Taft should have had Ohio solidly
and without a contest. So should Gov.
Harmon. But conditions in both parties
invited contest, and in each party the
stranger within the gates decrying the
local aspirant for the presidency was
made welcome and addressed meetings of
enormous size.
The fight, however, will go on. At
Chicago the real and final contest will be
between the republicans who support the
party record with assurances for the fu-
ture. and the republicans who repudiate
the record and the anti-third term doc
urine and would commit the party to
Tadcalism for the future.

quested legislation in accordance with


them
This being true and generally recog-
nized. nothing was palmer than Mr..
Roosevelt's duty when he took the reins-
He should have consulted the best au-
thorities as to details. and addressed
Congress on the tariff in the spirit OF
Mr. McKinley's parting deliverance. And
had he done so he would have secured
legislation in conformity with that de-
liverance, and saved his party and the
country many endorsements.
But he put the subject entirely aside
and addressed himself to other things
The intensity of his temperament" ex-
ercised itself on policies of his own de-
visement. Mr.. Mckinley and the things
for which he stood were forgotten. and
the things for which Mr.. Roosevelt stood
were put forward. They were given the
right of way, and all interest drawn to
them.
1t was not until several years had
passed that MIR. Roosevelt remembered
Mr.. McKinley's dying words" and then
remembered them only to forget them
again His promise to take up the tariff
was withdrawn. and not during his whole
seven years in the White House did he
address a single word about tariff revf-
sion TO Congress.
If il is true-and who can deny it?-that
the present plight of the republican party
is due to the tariff. who is responsible?
Mr.. Roosevelt. more than any other one
man. Had he done his duty the Dingley
law would have been revised in good
time and business adjusted to new sched
ules. But on that subject he dawdled and
drifted and turned over to his successor
a problem complicated by seven years of
ineXcuSable delay.
