CUBAN ANNEXATIONISTS ARE
A MINORITY
Some of those in the United States,
who have not had their appetite for
territorial expansion in countries that
are over-populated by one or more of
the various colored races satiated by
the experiences of the last decade,
hail the present Cuban crisis as an ''op
portunity" for the United States togTab
that country. Others think the daty
implied by the acceptance of the "white
man's burden" theory obligates our
countryjto step in and assume ownership
of the negroes and half breeds of the
Pearl of the Antilles. However, both
of these classes are in a yerv insignifi
cant minority.
There is very little thirst on the part
of the American people for the addi
tional "glory" that would follow the
acquisition of Cuba. Nor is President
Roosevelt holding out much hope to
those of either class that prays for it
The strenuous executive has conducted
the negotiations on the part of the
United States during the present crisis
with a temperance that .bespeaks either
a change in his ideas of what consti
tutes greatness or that he has caught
the drift of public sentiment and de
sires not to move counter to it. He is
showing very plainly that it is his pur
pose to avoid assuming charge of Cuban
affairs if thai be possible, and if he
shall find it necessary to assume control
we may expect the assumption to be
accompanied by a declaration that it is
not the purpose of the United States to
retain permanent possession of the
island.
The refusal of the American people
to respond to the "Annex Cuba" cry
leaves no room to doubt that the terri
torial expansion fever has run its course.
Of course the people would like terri
tory in which the American race could
expand, but they are not seeking to an
nex more of the world's festering sores.
The experiences in the Philippines, in
Porto Rico, in Panama and in other
sections have shown that there is
neither profit or pleasure in attempting
the impossible task of making
Americans out of the un
countable tribes of the tropics. The
people refuse to permit their attention
to be diverted from internal diseases,
that thrive when they are indulg
ing a passion for conquest, by the ''op
portunity" to find another territory and
another people over which and whom
to hoist their flag.
And the people are sickentng of the
"white man's burden" to the exteot
that they are realizing with more and
more clearness that we have a greater
duty than that of winning colored
heathens to our religion and civi'.zation.
We haye our own civilization to care
for, and its condition is such that it
offers a field for the best efiorta of our
brain and money.
The American people do not want
Cuba. President Rooseyelt knows
that, and it is not likely that he will
take the island to hold forever. Nor is
it likely that the people would permit
him to take it to hold forever if he
should so desire.
Wilbur G. Voldira is now the leader
of Zion. He was chosen at the election
held in accordance with the order of
Judge Landis, receiving 1911 votes to
six for A. N. Bills, his opponent.
