THX PRESIDENT'S O ECLARA
TION
The declaration by President Roose
velt that it is the purpoae of the United
States to restore Cuban independence
at the earliest possible date, is not sur
prising to those who have followed his
?ourte in the negotiations which pre
ceded intervention in the difficulties of
the island republic. President Iloose
?elt has taken the position that it is
the duty of the United States to main
tain order in Cuba, but he hss also in
dicated from the very beginning ih*t it
is his purpose O regard with the ut
most good faith the terms of the com
pact between that country and the
United States in letter and spirit. In
authoritatively and official}' announcing
his position, the president has disarm
ed critics and mads easier s trying
task.
The declaration of the president is
right in principle snd in policy. It, I
also. is timely. It will be an additioual
assurance to the world that it is uot the
purpose of the United States to con
tinue on a course of aggressive colon
ization. It will have a teodency to
soften the harsh feeling against this
country that has been developing in
South American countries for the last
several years. It will allay the sus
picions that are entertained on the
other side of the isthmus that the
United States are awaiting opportu
tities to gobble up the Spanish repub
lics one after the other.
And the declaration wilt hsve a very
beneficial effect on the affairs of the
country at -home. It will cause the
people to be less apprehensive on ac
oount of the foreign policy of the
president, whose actions in the cases
of Panama,Santo Domingo and Morocco
hail caused not a little uneasiness.
It is true there are those who will
contend that the Cuban compact would
not have been violated had the presi
dent permitted the people of thosf
islands to settle their difference in
their own way But by taking action
early in the game, the president will
have saved the people of Cuba many
years in time and from much misery
and poverty. His declaration show*
that this is the sole purpose of his
actiooa. It is the stamp of good faith
which mattes for the happiness of all
concerned.
The representative in congress from
Alaska who en have hit came
Identified moat thoroughly with
legislation conferring upon the
people of his district the right
of self-government will oe the
locgest remembered official the
district will ever have. His will he
the name of the patron aaiot
of the future commonwealth jjf the
north. His name will be to future
generations of Alaskans as is that of
Gen. Isaac Ingalls Stevens to the pres
ent generation of Washingtonians.
The republican convention in the
state of Wisconsin, declared in favor of
tariff reform. The Wisconsin re- 1
publicans :favcr reciprocity with
Canada, ?s do Ithe republi
cans of Iowa, Minnesota, Michi
gan and Massachusetts. The Maine
potato raisers and Washington coai and
lumber barons are still standing pat.
If the coal trust does not establish a
rigorous censorshiplover the news those
stories of West Virginia mine ac
cidents will cause the people to demand
that something b? done to protect
human life in that state.jj
Before the beginning of the winter
why not tear down a lot of those old
shacks that are good for nothing but
kindling wood ? They are fire traps
and endanger other pronerty as they
are. Get them out of the way.
Pslma has faith that Cuba will get
her indeperde.'ce again, but nothing is
said as to his faith that the presidency
of the republic will ever be his again.
