lAguinaldo continues to assure his

iArchbishop Ireland should be given

bound In faith or unpatriotic.
Democratic leaders In Kentucky In-

vote they know a much eheaper way of
preventing them than bribery.

Repeated attempts have been made
to use General Pitshugh l^ee as a stool-
pigeon for democratic political propo-
ganda in using Cuba as one of the
grounds to fight the administration. In
this, as in everything else connected
with the results *>f the Spanish war,,
the democrats seeking a platform bas-
ed on republican mistakes have fail. <1
General Lee Is in Washington on a vis-
It from his duties in Havana, and givs
unstinted support to the admlnl> ra
tion's policy In Cuba. He says there 1
is liitl friction of any kind In Cuba,
and that the neople a*-e slowly but
surely rebuilding t'herfr war-wasted |
home* and repairing their crippled for-
tunes. He thinks that life and proper- |
ty are now secure «n the Isiands and 1
that Cubans generally -are not abusing J
their newly-acquired freedom. This '
happy condition >f things was largely,
due <to the salutary restraint exercis-! ,
ed by American military authority; and
he believes that a long period of proa
perlty will follow if wise counsel pre-
vails and the protection of the United
States continues'throughout the Inland 1
until the people have had time to adapt
themselves to the change in their con-
dition. Again he says: "Life and prop-
erty are now. under the protection of
the United States, absolutely secure In
Cuba. There is little friction araonn
the inhabitants. The people are wisely
restrained by the olv l and military
authority without In any way being
intimidated or suppressed or made *.o
feel so. The simply recognize that It s
best for the Interests of all concern-
ed to respect the laws and to aid n
the general development."
Genera^Lee thinks rhat the strongest
thing to combat Is the d -ep-seated
prejutilce against their conquerors, h.-
Spanlsh. remaining In the island. Giv-
en a chance at present to full reins o?
government, they would undoubtedly
deal quick and summary justice to
these. Theory and practice, in his es-

two very different things. The native

WHAT ti H. Il l Ifl VVI Itr.l.V
Fire, water, wind and weather has
been said somewhere in the books as
being beyond man's control. This was
certainly true in all of the weather o'
the Guthrie Carnival. But yesterday's
llawer parade, in spite of a. (hilling
wind from the north that blinded the
eye and filled the ears full of dust,
must have shown the out-of-town peo-
ple What Guthrie would have done as
a whole in Its week's carnival program
had It not been fearfully interfered
with by the inclement elements. Those
who have seen the Kansas City flower
parades during its Priests of Pallas
festivities, say that nt their best, no
year was there any better, neither in
extent nor quality. Again .though it Is
given up that Wichita had the most
successful street fair this fall given
anywhere In the country, v. cat her and
everything being propitious, still Its
flower parade feil short n number of
entries and did not excell in point of
artistic beauty. There were one hun-
dred and fifty entries in line in Guthrie.
It Is consoling to the cltisens of Guth-
rie that the Washington Weather Bu-
reau allowed the pulling off of the
flower parade at all. els** It might have
easily gone abroad that even had
the rain not spoiled the ftrst week of
the festivities It was possible that
Guthrie would have had nothing to
offer after all. However, by th.' tone
of the territorial press, th people of
the territory have deeply regretted the
marring of a week's pleasure they
knew Guthrie would have provided.
Not a newspaper is exulting over :hi*
disaster that befell the immense prepa-
rations of the carnival committee, for
though not 1n evidence on ■ nt ..f
the rain, ample money and much mat-
erial was together to have made the
city a bower of beauty and of pleasure
during the week, which would have re-
paid the people of the territory to come
and see and enjoy.
Should Guthrie ever take a notion
to get up another flower parade the one
given this year will be ample guaranty
that it will be what It is promised
