HAYTPS CHANGE,

Hayti has good reason to expect much from the increased influence which this country is bound to exert there under the treaty which has re- gently been ratified. Trade relations be- tween this and the island republic have always been of the best but there is ground for Hayti to anticipate greater development than ever when the control of it's finances turns 1t away from the tremendous waste which it has been experiencing and inspires it to get the full benefit of the resources which it can command.
 All the people of that country need to do is to carefully investigate the good example which is to be found in neighboring Porto Rico. That island has undergone a great change since it was annexed to this country. It has a stabilized government and it is taking deeper interest in the pos- abilities which exist on every hand The influences which have been at work there since annexation has re- suited in increasing the trade with this country twelve times over what it was formerly and at the same time there has been a doubling of sales to foreign countries, showing an increase of 500 per cent. in it's commerce. The export business has jumped to $5O,- 100000 where five years ago it was but about one-eighth of that amount.
 This country does not hold the same relative influence in Hayti, but just as much advantage can be taken of it if there is the disposition. Our intentions are entirely altruistic and if Haytt makes up it's mind to profit thereby it will have no difficulty in showing results as interesting as those which are presented by its neighbor.

ANNAPOLIS AND WEST POINT
 APPOINTMENTS.

With the going into effect of the bill which increases the number of cadets at Annapolis by 500, and the urging of similar action concerning the number being trained for the army at West Point, some demand Is heard for a change of the method of making the appointments whereby they would be free from political influence. The claim Is made that under the present system all the raw material out of which the government must make it's officers for the army and navy must pass through a political gateway, and that such ought not to be if the best are to be secured and that is what these branches of the national defense should get.
 In this connection 1t is a most com mendable example which has been set by Connecticut congressman and sen ators who make a practice of giving every young man seeking admission to either Annapolis or West Point a chance to try for the appointment through competitive examinations with the understanding that the leader in such a public contest will be named. The fairness of such a course can readily be appreciated. It is in fact the one method which should prevail, for the army and navy ought not to be made political footballs, and all lowed to receive young men who are selected solely for the purpose of building up patronage.
 It is far preferab ble that the justice of such 9 system should be recognized and respected by those who have the power of appointment, than to have it set down in black and white, but un- less it is it must be apparent that the time is coming when legislative action will be demanded upon that very point and it will be a hard proposition for any sound arguments to be advanced against 1t.

THE NEW CABINET MEMBER.

In deciding upon Newton D. Baker of Cleveland for secretary of war to fill the vacancy caused by tho resig- nation of Lindley M. Garrison, Pres ident Wilson simply reviewed the list of men he had under consideration for the original cabinet and selected one who was unwilling at that time to accept the appointment because he was in the midst of his duties as mayor of his city.
 Mir. Wilson replaces a lawyer with another member of the same profes- sion and a man who has always been a strong Wilson advocate. This was manifested way back in the Baltimore convention when he was instrumental in rallying much strength for the sup port of the Wilson nomination.
 MT. Baker is not a novice in poli- tics. He has had a good schooling in that respect and stands high in his party in the state of Ohio, a fact which carries much prestige, but it remains to be seen whether he will display the independence of character which was manifested in the case of his predecessor or whether he will be guided entirely by a policy of wob- ble.
 Even though MT. Baker has been and is still a strong peace advocate where 1t can be maintained with honor, that does not mean that he cannot prove a valuable member of the cabinet and administrator of the duties of that department, for such has been the attitude of those who have previously held the office, but there can be no disregard for the in terests of the nation. He avoids by his appointment at this time the necessity of formulating any program in behalf of preparedness. All he needs to do is to stand back Of the chief executive and that is apparent Iy where he can be expected to be if for no other reason than lack of time to give the question proper study

Peculiar how sphinx-like officials become on certain occasions. Take the Billiard suit settlement with the New Haven road as an example. Those who settled it are practically sealed up. It would be interesting to the stockholders of the New Haven road to have the tide of publicity turned on just now, especially when suits in Bos- ton of a like nature have been turned and twisted into shape the average contortionist would be unable to per form. The law works wonders in its ways in these times of high finance. Many by the way wonder whether or not MT. Billiard of Meriden, has a diff ferent disposition from others engaged in the management of the New Haven road in the past, and to use a com mon expression is of the goat type NIiddletown Press.

UNIVERSITY COLLEGE. BANQUET

The meeting of the Florida Educa-
tional Association at Arcadia the
coming holidays promise to be one of
the best in the history of the associ-
alton Probably to many teachers in
the state. there will be no happier hour
during the convention than that of the
reunion about banquet table Of for
mer students of the University of
Florida and the State College for Wo-
men.
Such a banquet was given at Tall
lahassee last year by the Peabody club
of the university and so much was it
enjoyed that the students from the,
two institutions determined to make
it an annual event. Many are ex-
pressing the hope that this year the
enthusiasm Of former classmates
meeting to talk over old times and
newer experiences in the teaching
world will find expression in a perma-
nent Organization that will foster a
spirit of fellowship among these teach
ers. Such an organization besides
providing for wider acquaintance
and friendship, might mean much to
the educational development of our
state, In the spirit and pep" that
united interests and endeavors would
bring to the younger teachers of the
state. Many loyal sons and daughters
will rally around the old college ban
ners that will be raised at Arcadia.

one puts in-is true, there should be
