parent after the special election of last
September. They afforded opportunity
for overriding the will of the people as
tive that before we enter into another
Statewide election a careful and thor
ough revision of these important laws
should be made by the Legislature.
In order to comply with the require
ments both of our State law and of the
act of Congress concerning the division
of the State into congressional districts
It is necessary that the Legislature
should pass re-districting bill before
we again elect representatives to the
national Congress.
The situation with regard to the pro-
hibitory law and IFS enforcement is the
cause of universal complaint and criti-
cism; No thinking man in Maine is. sat
who are pleased with the law are dissat-
istied with the manner in which it IS en-
forced. Others regard the law itself as
impracticable ard Incapable of state
wide enforcement. The problem is vital
and pressing. The Legislature should
find means TO solve it or, at least
should be able to submit TO popular vote
some one or more possible solutions Of
In Consideration whereof. ], Frederick
w. Plaisted, Governor Of the State of
Maine, by virtue of the power. vested i'm
me by the constitution, convene the Leg
islature of this State, hereby requiring

CTBtN RACE CONFLICTS.

BY far the most serious and ominou>
feature Of the troubles in Cuba is their
racial character The insurrection. If II

negro uprising As such il might become
Formidable from a military point Of
view. since negroes form large proper

prowess Nevertheless. however formi-
dable the outbreak may he. II can he

The chief peril lies in the fomcntng
Of antagonism between the two races.
Hitherto blacks and whites have lived
together in Cuba on terms Of friendship
and equality. There has been practical

unhappily existed between them In
many parts of the United States. II
would be dcplorablc 10 have those con
developed. Yet it is obvious that such
an outbreak as the present is unplclS-
antly likely TO cause precisely such n
catastrophe
II does not yet appear just why the
uprising was started. II il said the
negroes considered themselves entitled 10
n larger share of the offices, but the
world had not known Of any such in
vidious discrimination against them In

been limited that negro cmSsaries from

lawleSs and fanatical spirit Is prevalent
and potent in IIayti. and has inflicted
inestimable woes upon that island. II

plague.
The suggestion is obvious and should
be convincing that both the Cuban gov

SPICE IN HIS POLITICAL HASH

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir What a voracious crowd our friends

lister a protest against their desire TO swat
low every reform" suggested by man in
his most imaginative moments. We find
them willing to essay the most indIgestible
combinations such as the referendum. the
initiative, the recall and the short ballot,
And now they seem inclined to top Off the
proposed feast with woman suffrage
Now, every man with red blood IN his
veins" likes little spice In his political
hash don't mind the short ballot and
woman suffrage In mine. II ! can have
them ! don't want the others. and II
must have the others | can readily dis
pense with them. | don't want vinegar and
whipped cream poured over the same dish
The point Ia this: The Initiative, refer
endum and recall should go with care
fully restricted suffrage since they call
upon the voter TO use such care In casting
his ballot that he must needs have the
knowledge of several specialists rolled into
one TO determine the proper use OF his
franchise on any given occasion. Does It
seem conceivable that any sincere man in
his senses could advocate the adoption Of
these Innovations at the same time that
suffrage was extended to women-in other
words, triple the voters responsibilities at
the same time that you double his strength?

cannot be- argued that its members have az

lie questions No doubt the exercise of the
voting power develops that interest. There

THE REAL 1851 T..

In his New Jersey speeches President
Taft has been putting directly I" the
voters the real question which the R'-
publican National Convention VIII nave
10 face. What IL 1t going 10 do about
the record which the present admlnlstra-
ton has made? That record Is one OF
broad achievement in both the executive
and legislative departments. \ Repubii-
can President and Republican CON
gress. acting IN cooperation. revised IN"
tariff. not completely, but in the right
direction: created II Tariff Board. whose
function il is 70 take the tariff issue MS
far as possible ont Of partisan politics
extended the power of the Interstate
Commerce Commission over the rail-
roads established postal savings banks
created Bureau Of Mines, when IL
saving hundreds Of lives and millions or
property annually; passed a conSer'a-
ton bill imposed a workable federal
corporation tax: introduced new era
Of economy i'm federal administration and
prosecuted with vigor and importantly
corporations and individuals violating
the provisions Of the Sherman antitrust
law
If the Republican party approves that
admirable record. on what logical ground
can it refuse the President Il renomlna-
ton? He has made good AT every
point. He has carried out with remark
able fidelity and success the pledges or
the platform of 1908. He stands for
steady and orderly progress in politics
for clean administration and for an eX-
tension Of the merit system, which VIII
take postmasters and other federal Off
Gals Of similar status out of politics
and thus strike the final blow AT the
spOils system The best sentiment In the
narty Is behind him in all these policies.
How. then. are Republicans 10 excuse
themselves for approving what Mr.. TAFT
has done and then failing 70 give him
the recognition to which he Is entitled:
The campaign against the President
has been made on false and irrelevant
issues Colonel Roosevelt has not had
the hardihoOd to attack him for what he
has done or failed 10 do hut has exploit
cd the single fanciful charge that Mr..
Taft is in sympathy with and ENJOYING
the support of unpopular Republican
bosses. He fights bosses with whom he
himself has been on more familiar terms
than Mr.. Taft ever was. and then claims
that he is fighting the President. Colonel
Roosevelt surely does injustice to his
own astutenesS and TO his great record
of service in making such an attack. Are
intelligent Republican voters 10 be car
ripd away 10y such Il device Are they
going 10 allow the national convention to
refuse Mr.. Taft his due on the reprcSen-
tation that they are thus furnishing IN"
bosses? The only real issue before the
Republican voters OF New Jersey and Of
the country Is whether. fully approving
the record Of the Taft administration.
they shall be miSled into the cruel and
foolish injustice of denying the PreSi-
dent honorable credit for what they adj
nit he has successfully done.
