THREAT OF JAIL
CUBA GIVES
New Secretary Of State
Encounters W8ighty
Problems,

ALMOST at the actual moment that
N William Jennings Bryan step
GA ped into his new Office as sec
retary of state he was plunged
into problems of the weightiest possi-
Bile nature. He was not given
chance to feel his way around care
fully and become adjusted to the new
functions. 1t was up to him to act
quickly toward shutting Off a great act
of probable lawlessness In Cuba and
to smooth out diplomatic entangle-
ments between this country and Mex
leo.
In the first place, the threatened re-
lease of all political and other prison
ers from the jails throughout Cuba
was a matter of the gravest moment
1t had deep significance for the United
States.
This liberation Of countless maIefac-
tors, including even murderers Of the
worst type, would have prevented the
MenocaI administration, which sup
plants that of President Jose Gomez
on May 90, from prosecuting the graft
ers who are charged with having loot
ed the official treasury Of Cuba. This
would entirely destroy the credit of
the Cuban republic, since means Of
guaranteeing Cuban loans have been
largely impaired by the wanton ex-
cesses of political grafters. In turn
the United States would be held di-
reCtly responsible for the credit of the
island republic through having de
gree of supervisory power over its
finances.
Secretary Bryan won his first tilt
with Cuba over this matter. On the

lutely would not stand by inactively
and permit its wishes to be disre-
garded.
Several radical Cuban newspapers,
sometimes looked upon as being Span
ish monarchical organs, seized upon
the situation to preach unfrlendiness
and suspicion in Cuba against the
United States and Americans. These
papers have steadfastly declared that
the northern republic was striving to
strip away the last vestige Of inde-
pendence from Cuba.
General Menocal who was elected to
succeed President Gomez after an In
tensely heated campaign, is compar-
atively young man. He is graduate
Of Cornell university.
In addition to the Cuban situation,
Secretary Bryan faced an extremely
difficult diplomatic condition Of affairs

An Annoying Error.

An error in proof reading Of the
county repositories law which was in
troduced in the house by Representative
Parsons of Eugene is already causing
difficulty and is causing the office of
Secretary Olcott to be flooded with
letters from county treasurers all over
the state.
The intention of the bill was that
banks should pay 2 per cent on county
deposits, and it is so stated in section
2 of the law In section 3, however, L
per cent is given as the amount that is
to be paid in interest,
