THE WHY OF ROOSEVELT

EtVEN those who resent II confess the
II power OF Theodore Roosevelt. Those
who insist that he cannot win the election
admit that he can dominate the nomina-
ton. Granting him the luck, assuming
that he got all the breaks" OF the great
game he is playing. there is still some
thing of a mystery in his appeal and in
his attitude.
Mr. Roosevelt has formulated not only
his program. but what will be the pro-
gram OF every candidate and OF virtually
every party. Even If a party were so
blind or a candidate so INSCRIPTIONS as
to seek the anti-American vote, he would
not dare proclaim 1t. Americanism and
preparedness are universal Issues Yet
out Of them Mr.. Roosevelt has succeeded
in building a machine OF attack which
may prove irresistible. How has he done
it7
The answer is that Mr.. Roosevelt, what
ever his faults, has the one great Ameri-
can virtue in the highest degree. That
virtue Is energy. When he is wrong he is
powerfully and dangerously wrong, pre-
cisely because his energy. his passion ana
his power are at so much higher tension
His voltage per minute on any given sub
ject is tremendous. He gives himself 10
an old proposition. even 10 a platitude
ana makes it tingle with life. something
personal and to be feared.
Quarrel as Republicans and Democrats
may with the man and his methods, they
must grant him a fun need Of praise.
10 their cold righteousness the people
are irresponsive. In Mr.. Roosevelt they
recognizes themselves. the sublimation of
: visaroQs and ardent lifs.

The importance of the sugar industry in
Cuba today is direct result of the advan-
tages of the climate and the soil of the
island for the growing of sugar cane. The
methods followed by the planters are in
conformity with the peculiar conditions of
the country Tl.is, of course, applies to the
cultivation of the plant. The manufacture
of sugar and the grade produced is the
direct result of the conditions imposed by
those who control the market.
For the above reasons, although present

without any doubt that Cuba produces
