Blood Thicker Than Water.
(B6ston Transcript


The arrival at Corunna of a Cuban
training cruiser must be sharp re-
minder to Spaniards of how much
times have changed in sixteen years.
To the credit Of the Spaniards it must
be said that they have received their
Cuban visitors cordially, as if deter
mined to make more than the best OF
the appearance OF a Cuban man-of-
war in a Spanish port. Blood Is
thicker than water. The Spanish
blood in Cuba Is constantly being re-
enforced. Last year $4,000 Spaniards
settled In Cuba, and these were but a
contingent of an army that commenced
to move on the island almost as soon
as peace was concluded between the
United States and Spain. With O
stable government permitting free play
of the good national traits OF
Spaniards Cuba looks more attractive
to enterprising people in Spain than II
did when 1t was ruled from Madrid
In time the relations of Cuba and
Spain will become as close and cordial
as those between the United States
and Great Britain.

The COW is really going to jump over

doing some fancy high jumping for
quite a while back, but these stunts
were merely training exercises, Now
the real leap is coming. Heads OF
families, hotel men and keepers OF
restaurants will watch the perform
ance with interest if not with un-
alleged enjoyment Information comes
from Washington and the West that
meats are going to be higher this year
than ever before. and rise OF TO
4 cents a pound within week is pre-
dicted. 1t is said that the farmers
prefer to sell their corn to the break
fast food makers rather than to delay
their profits by feeding it to cattle. 1t
looks as if We would have to learn to
eat our corn In the form OF break
fast food instead of in the form OF
meat. Corn also comes to US in an
other form, which is well and favor
ably known in Kentucky and to a
more limited extent in other parts OF
the country. Yet. we think the choice
must be really between meat and
breakfast food.

A Panama Canal Triumph.

AS commercial undertaking the
real value to America has been Civ
en- away to the railway interests by
the Democratic President, in direct
and absolute violation and contradic-
ton Of his position on the question OF
canal tolls before the American peo-
pie when he was a candidate. But
the Isthmian canal will be worth many
times the cost of the canal as tri-
umphant demonstration of the posi-
biiity of modern sanitation. This is set
forth by the Journal of the American
Medical Assn in an editorial on the
annual session of that association in
San Francisco next year. 1t says:
While many other organizations and
societies win doubtless hold their
meetings in San Francisco or its Vicin-
ity during 1915. none of them is so d.
rectly connected with the exposition
and the achievement which 1t ceie-
brates. Great as were the achieve
ments of the engineers and admins
traitors In rendering possible the COM
pletion Of the canal, the decisive rae
tor which made its construction pos
sible was the control and practical ex-
termination of infectious diseases. This
is the only essential factor in the pro-
blem which the French engineers I'M
der da Lesseps were unable TO master
and which the United States under
Goethals and Gorgas were able to car
ny to triumphant solution. The French
were not lacking in engineering skill
or administrative ability. They had
ample plans, as we'll as personal de-
termination and endurance; but their
lahorers died from tropical diseases
faster than they could be brought in
and set TO work, The price exacted in
human lives was too great to be paid.
In the years which interviewed between
the collapse of the French efforts and
the occupation of the Canal Zone by
the United States, much progress had
been made in our knowledge of pre-
ventable Aseases. This, however,
would have been of little use had not
the Army and Navy Medical Services
and the United States Public Health
Service been able to furnish trained
men who were able to apply the newly
acquired knowledge in d practical way
ard to render this tropical jungle
more healthful place of residence and
labor than any of our large American
cities. The canal has not merely been
completed; it has been completed with
a smaller toll of lives than would prob
ably have been exacted from any sim
liar undertaking within our own
boundaries but under different sani-
tary supervision. When the American
Medical Association meets in San
Francisco, II can with perfect truth
say to the country and the world,
I'VE have right to meet at this time
and in this place because we represent
the profession which made possible the
construction of the canal which this
exposition commentaries"

A Candidate at Large and Forsaken
Name.

tNdrHGs
In the 1912 elections in Maine As, 495
votes were cast for Theodore Roose-
Welt. The majority of these votes
were cast by Republicans but it has
been conclusively shown that thous-
ands of them were cast by Demo
Gratis The great mass Of these 4S,4s5
Republicans and Democrats have no
use for the Progressive party, never
were interested in the plan for the
format ton of the Progressive party.
and never intended their vote to be a
vote for so-called Progressivism. Theo-
dore Roosevelt was a candidate at
large; he was so regarded by thous-
ands of Maine voters and they cast
their votes for him. These voters for
the most part had no interest in the
Progressive party and they will not
cast Progressive ballot as such. The
odore Roosevelt as a candidate at
large, or such to all intents and pur-
poses. drew heavy vote in Maine;
but the name Progressive stands for
nothing and so far as Maine voters
are concerned it is already forsaken

Harvester Trust Popular with Two
Parties.

It's well known that the Progressive
dough bag is dependent in a large
measure upon George Perkins of the
Harvester and Steel trusts. Some Pro-
gressives object to his being provided
with the regulation Progressive halo
and harp. President Wilson has nomi-
mated Thomas d. Jones, another har-
vester trust magnate, as a member of
the reserve board, and would like him
TO be president of tho board. But then,
Jones would naturally be popular with
President Wilson. since report states
that he contributed some $4,000 to
the Wilson campaign fund. Harvester
trust men are popular with Progressive
and Democratic leaders, even though
these same leaders are constantly tell
ing how deep they will bury these
trusts when they have the power to
do it--and they might add, the incii.

Mr.. Bird's Decision.
iNewburyport Herald.)


There can be little question as to
the serious nature of the blow which
the Progressive party in Massachu-
sets received in the announcement
that Charles Sumner Bird, its leader
in two remarkable campaigns. would
not be a candidate for governor In
1914. Republicans cannot be cen
sured for believing that this deeis'
ion on the part of Mr.. Bird spells
the early disintegration OF the Bull
Moose party In this state.
II has been the contention OF Re-
publican leaders and newspaper
that the personal popularity of Mr.
Bird and a general feeling that he
was honest and able businesswise
together with his strong hnancia
resources were the chief reasons why
the Progressive party in this stats
did not go the way Of the srganiza'
ton In other states last year.
Now we shall see what we shall
see and members of all the parties
will anxiously watch the returns IL
November. Not a few regulations fol
political acumen are likely to b
ruined this fall.
One thing Is clear-that the Re-
publican party In this state shoule

Seeing the Light.
cortland Daily Press,.


President Wilson appears to have
seen the light concerning big bust
ness. He has discovered that the men
who run big business are not all male
factors and crooks. and of late he has
been talking over the situation with
them. Time was when he was not in
clined to listen to them in mapping out
a campaign for the betterment of con-
ditions. and he Is reported to have
gone so far as to refuse to see the
New York and one or two others who
wanted to confer with him. But now
it Is said that he would be very glad
to meet these same men. as he has
met others within the past few days.
Whether they would go to him. after
being turned down. remains to be
seen. For all he felt that he could
proceed to curb big business without
consulting men of affairs, the Prest-
dent awakens to a realization of the
fact that these men should receive
some consideration, and no doubt the
hundreds of protests that have been
received by congressman from their
constituents have in measure infiu-
enced him. With the new tariff law
producing an effect not altogether
promising to the industries of the
country. the people have felt that 1t
would not be wise TO take any other
steps that would probably create bad
impression in business circles, and
many of the Democratic congressman
have been of the same opinion. They
were weary of their long stay In
Washington, too, and wanted to get
home to look after their fences in the
coming campaign. President Wilson,
however, has insisted that the com
plete program of antitrust legislation
be carried out, and the Democrats
have meekiy bowed beneath the big
gest stick welded in Washington in a
long time. Yet it is gratifying to note
that the President has seen lit
tie light, and that he has condescended
to talk with some of the leading BUSH
ness men of the country. 1t shows
that he at least appreciates that they
are entitled TO recognition of the fact
that they exist.
