Was si1 Event.

The event was one Of the biggest
ever held in La Grange, of such
character. In preparation, the town
had been decorated in bunting and
flags and to the visitors, truly pre-
sented gala appearance. Swinging
across the street in various places
were banners bearing the words,
Welcome Home or simply Wei
come" The banners which did their
share toward making the visitors
appreciate the welcome beilfg extend
ed them, were really not necessary,
however, as, with true Missouri hos
pltality, the people of La Grange
never for an instant allowed their
guests to do without anything they
might possibly desire. The commit

Secretary Knox's Note to Cuba

Minister Beaupre has raised an issue. He has seen military officers in Cuba attending a meeting of vet erans of the Cuban war for independ- ence. They may not have partici- pated in politics to any great extent, but it seems they did do a little in that direction, and Minister Beaupre became alarmed, and President Taft and Secretary Knox proceeded at once to sound the alarm.
 This government stands pledged to safeguard free republican govern ment in Cuba. The military men and rurales who attended the meeting of veterans did, it appears, endanger free republican government in Cuba, and so a note has been sent by the United States threatening Cuba with third intervention if it's military men and rurales do not behave better.
 
 This is undoubtedly the most un- called for tempest in a teapot in the entire history of international poli- tics. Cuba is not Cuba Libre at all if it is to be called down whenever any thing goes amiss in the island. The people in Havana were greatly sur prised when they heard that Secre- tary Knox had sent a note to Presi- dent Gomez threatening intervention. Army officers and rurales will not attend the meetings of veterans in Cuba, non-political even though those meeings be, and the incident will be forgotten.
 Cuba is, however, injured by the effort of Mir. Knox. It's independence is impaired, and the pride of the Gu bans is touched. Mir. Knox has simp- ly blundered again.

From the New York World.
 Henry Watterson and the Louisville Courier-Journal have won their din- ner fairly and squarely. The World confesses judgment. Whenever the editor of the Courier Journal is pre- pared to name the time, the place, the food and the guests. the World will undertake to play it's part in the per formance as gracefully as circum
 stances permit.
 Colonel Watterson knew much more about Theodore Roosevelt than we did. | He understood Theodore Roosevelt much better than we did. His knowl- edge was superior to our faith. We thought Roosevelt would be loyal to Taft as Jefferson was loyal to Mad ison, as Jackson was loyal to Van Buren, We thought he was sincere when he selected Taft as his success sor when he described Taft as q Man of My Type, when he forced Taft. upon the republican party when he managed Taft's campaign, when he assured the American people that Taft was the one man who could be trusted to carry on progressive administration based on progressive policies. We were cer- tain that Roosevelt would stand by Taft as he had stood by scores of less worthy men, ranging from Leonard Wood to Ben Daniels.
 The World was mistaken in it's esti- mate of MT. Roosevelts fidelity, in it's estimate of his loyalty, in its estimate
 Of matched our optimism against Colonel Watterson's pessimism, and we have lost Colonel Watterson was right and we were wrong.
 Nevertheless, we are glad that we thought better of MT. Roosevelt than he deserved. We are glad that we gave him credit for more generous impulses than he possessed. We are glad that as long as possible we pictured him as a stateman dominated by ideals, even though those ideals might be mistaken, rather than as a self seeking politician and place hunter intent on intriguing himself back into power.
 Frankly, we were shocked by the view that Colonel Watterson took of the ultimate relations between Taft and Roosevelt It seemed too selfish and cold blooded to be true. It belonged to the politics of Talleyrand and Met ternich not to the politics or that long line of American statesmen who estab- lished and maintained republican in- stitutions We did not believe the Wat terson theory possible, and could not believe it possible until we were over whelmed by the logic of events. !

MIR. uNpERwooD's HONESTY

From the Macon Telegraph.
 Alfred Henry Lewis, in an appreciative
 article in the Cosmopolitan Magazine,
 entitled "Underwood-House Leader"
 sums up his subject as follows:
 AS the head of the ways and means
 committee MT Underwood has shown himself to be the right man in the right place. What advances are made by the party in 1912 will be due largely to him. He knows tariff in all it's schedule wind ings. as a man knows the railways of his own house. He has wisdom. He has tenn per and spirit, but it is neither unrea- sonable nor vindictiye. l have faith in the tariff thoroughness of MT. Under
 wood. If I owned the revenues of the government, I shouldn't hesitate to em- ploy him as night watchman."
 For a writer of the muck ral1ing type, this is saying a good deal The explana- ton is that MT. Underwood's honesty ap-
 peals no less than his ability. He is where he is and what he is, according to
 this writer, because of his honesty and
 courage sThe dominant quality in Mir.
 Underwood" we read, 'is honesty. and
 folk have found it out. Honesty is among
 the scarcest of earthly commodities, and
 when a community has discovered it in the possession of an individual, 1t guards it and works it like a gold mine for ev- cry final ounce"
