| end of the island. The station affords | a convenient base for operations. 1 Cuba's most recent troubles are due
 to friction between whites and blacks. l The issue between the two races is | not involved or difficult of comprehen- | sion. although the line of demarcation | between the two races Is not easy to | distinguish in many cases. The me- | groes risen in armed revolt against the Havana government have asserted | that their work and sacrifices for re- publican government have been in vain so far as social and official recog milton is concerned. They say that to the white man of Cuba the negro with | machete or rife, willing to fight and 1 die for Cuba. is one person. while the same negro seeking public office or so- cial recognition is quite another and inferior being.
 But there are "other times and other manners" in Cuba now. For one thing, Yankees in increasing number have inv aded the island in search of
 wealth. and they have taken with them
 from the north the white Americans
 aversion to meeting the negro as a so- | cial equal.
 | Before the white Cuban proud of his ancestry. looms ever the specter of nearby Haiti, despised and rejected of 1 men as a black mans country" It is 1 low down in the scale of nations with l unstable government and filled with | vague, nameless horrors that cause civ | ilization to pass 1t by with averted | eyes. although it lies not much farther
 from America and Europe than does 1 Cuba.
 Now comes. this year, the presiden- | tial election in Cuba to complicate
 matters. Jose Miguel Gomez farmer | statesman, was elected in 1908 as the
 candidate of the Liberal party. one of the three which exist in Cuba. The others are the Conservatives. headed by General Mario Menocal, who fought
 in the war for freedom, and the Revo-
 lutionists, or colored party. General Menocal in especial is famous as a fighter. Gomez saw a goodly share of warfare, but he first became very prominent as an opponent of the late Tomas Estrada Palma, the president l who was overthrown in 1906. After | the second American occupation came
 to an end, in 1909, Gomez assumed the | office of president. to which he had
 been elected in the preceding year.
 Gomez has figured in the news as a determined foe of American interven- tion and has favored the repeal of the Platt amendment to the Cuban treaty which says that the United States should exercise the right to intervene
 flor the preservation of Cuban inde- Ipendence, the maintenance of a gov
 ernment adequate for the protection of |. life property and individual liberty" :, This attitude of opposition toward the
 possibility of American interference in
 island affairs has been the distinguish
 ing mark of the Liberal party. Another
 bone of contention which has figured
 very greatly in the present mixup of
 Cuban affairs has been the Morua law,
 which forbids the formation of political
 parties in Cuba along racial lines.

Ii HEREAS, the state or OTe- A< gon has decided that it
 prefers to keep Jonathan
 Bourne in the shadow of the Cascade range rather than under the big dome in Washington. and whereas Oregon has given formal tes- timony to that desire in a primary election. Jonathan Bourne will not be an ambassador from the state of Ore gon to the federal government after March 4. 1913-that is. if the Oregon legislature, assembled next January in Salem. ratifies the will of the primary electors.
 Exit Bourne. enter Selling. Exit the man who gained great fame as one of the first. if not the very, very first, ad- vocate of a "second elective term" for Theodore Roosevelt. Enter the man who has won fame in Oregon for square dealing as a clothing merchant and as president of the state senate. That much being said of Selling not much remains. Outside of the state which shares with California and Washington the honor of being laved by the Pacific ocean. Selling has not sounded a single note on the trumpet of fame. His selection by the people 0Nt~CN'oCA pA Bourne came as a surprise to the na- tion at large.
 In his state Selling is known as a practical politician. with ideas not quite as radical as those of Bourne. but still radical enough to warrant his be- ing termed a middle of the road pro- gressive." He considers himself one of the fathers of the oregon idea" the paternity of which has been claimed exclusively for Senator Bourne. But Selling believes quite as earnestly as does Bourne in the direct primary for presidential candidates. the direct cleo ton of senators and other advanced" political theories. One paper says that if he succeeds Bourne in the senate he will be a ''near radical"
 It may be asked, why, if Oregon's folks have expressed heretofore lik ing for Bournes political ideas, and he is man in the prime of life with only one uncompleted term in the senate, did they not re-elect him when they had a chance?" Possibly-just possi bly,, mind you-the reason is to be found in Senator Bourne's personal un- popularity with some of the Oregon ians. To put 1t mildly, he is not a mixer" One of his enemies goes so far as to call him naughty and hard to approach" .5,t
 In addition. Senator Bourne has busi- ness interests outside of the state which he represents in the senate. The Congressional Directory says he is "president of a number of Oregon cor porations and of the Bourne Cotton mills at Fall River, Mass This may or may not be the basis of the aSSer- tion that "he has spent very little of his time in Oregon" = Another man, in response to the question. Why did Oregon prefer another man to Bourne, one of the most progressive Republic

ans in Washington? ?" said: "He has financial interests in New England, and pays taxes in Oregon to the amount of just S2.50. The man Ben Selling, whom we have chosen in his place, is doing business here among us and is inter ested in the welfare of the state He is Jew and believes in God and is pledged to follow the higher law"
 In still another Oregonian opinion. expressed in a letter to an eastern farmers paper which sought the req son for the turning down of Bourne, it was stated that: Selling, who was nominated, has been so prominently identified with Oregon for many years that he has won a host of friends.

friendly to Bourne and evidently voted for him, who asserts that Senator Bourne is a good man. deservedly popular in western Oregon and should have been reelected as the next sena- tor from this state. His record is un- tarnished by graft. and his patriotism is undoubted. His broad grasp of the growing needs of an advancing civil ization and his intense love of justice among all people constitute him a pro- gressive of high order.'
 But there follows the damning ad- mission that Bourne did not realize the necessity of cultivating friendly rela- tions with the people of all parts of the state. Had Senator Bourne visited

is being constructed for commercial not military use but the reservation is made that the government may if it wishes at any future time enlarge the canal to accommodate the biggest Dreadnoughts. The manner of dredg ing the canal and re- enforcing the banks is such that the enlargement will present no engineering difficulties. In this way an inside" route for all of our warships will be provided between Boston and New York.
 The vice president of the company constructing the canal is Jacob w. Mill Ter, late lieutenant commander United States navy and prominent in naval militia affairs. In an article on "The Navy's Interest In the Cape Cod Ca nal" printed in the Journal of the American Society of Naval Engineers
Arizona republican., 1912-07-01

1 in May, 1912, Commander Miller says:
 "The need of a canal through ths eight mile isthmus separating Barn. stable (Massachusetts) bay from Bug Zards bay has long been felt. Govern ment, state and Individual effort hav- ing failed to build it, a Massachusetts corporation is now constructing it.
 How will the canal affect the naval service of the United States? Will it contribute in any way to defense or to the increase of sea power?
 With improved coastwise channels. the passage of men-of-war and torpedo boats through inshore routes is. in case of hostilities, assured. The need of armed conveys for colliers and transports will be reduced, while the smaller military craft can proceed without danger from the sea or the enemy along protected channels to their ordered rendezvous. The Cape Cod enterprise will be one of series to follow from Maine to the Gulf of Mexico"
 From an engineering point of view the work of constructing the canal is not great. The total length of tile isth- mus to be severed is eight miles. The total length to thirty feet depth in both bays Is thirteen miles The soil to be cut is sand, with little quicksand or rocks, and amounts to r ,000,00 cubic yards. The deepest cut is twenty ninef feet above tidewater.
 The channel at both ends of the route, the natural marshes and streanr already furnish a waterway for boat. of light draft The difference in tide between the two bays necessitates no locks. The depth of the canal as con- structed is twenty-five feet, but ample provision has been made for possible deepening. The minimum width of the bottom is 100 feet through the central portion of the canal This gives sur face width at the narrowest point of 250 feet, and the approaches will have a minimum bottom width of 250 feet.
 The bridges crossing the canal are planned and built on the basis of an ultimate depth of canal of thirty four feet. There will be three passing places for vessels in the canal. and pro- visions will. be made for lighting. etc.

dream of canal building at least two centuries old will he realized. The ca nal will probably be opened for traffic by the end of 1913.
 From the eastern shore of Massa- chusetts juts out a long spit of land, frequently likened to a bent arm with clinched fist. which it resembles in con tour. That is famous Cape Cod, around which the storms of ages have ragged and on the shores of which hun dreds of vessels have left their tim bers, mingled in many cases with the bones of their navigators.
