Common Sense About Cuba.
IX AX ADDUI2SS delivered before
the American Academy of Politi
cal and Social Science on Satur
day, Senator 1'latt, of Connecti
cut, author of the Piatt resolution
which the Cuban constitutional con
vention has just rejected, presented
concisely the common sense ut the
I'ulian piobli'in as viewed from the
American standpoint, lie said:
"We have undertaken the solution uf
a M-ry dlllicult problem in Cuba. When
we went to war with Spain we declared
that the people of Cuba might to be
tree and Independent, and we there
tuiu disclaimed any puipnec to acquire
the island, and promised that when Its
pacilleatloii should be accomplished we
would leave It to its people. To this
ilceluwitlan and ptomise we are sol
emnly pledged as a nation. Kedueed to
its simplest terni.- uur pledge Is this:
that the United States becomes respon
sible tor the establishment and orderly
continuance ot republican government
In Cuba. If, as tome seem to suppose,
the lull peitoiuiiiiice of our obligation
only requhcs us to see that so. called
icpublk' Is oi'gnni-ed there, the tu&k Is
comparatively -easy, but If wo are also
bound to proide lor tho orderly con
tinuance of a genuine republic It Is by
no nivalis easy. That the latter duty
in as imperative as the former, can
M.iii'rly lieirue.HtlonHl, Indeed, It seems
l" ft'JW-SI'OiWl ly I" '- technical
way? :iJ) ." ,
"Certain elf-ooustltuted and vliulent
eiltlcs try to maintain that our promise
to leave the Island to Its people as soon
as It Hhould he pacified meant that
when we should have driven out Spain
we would oiusulves ictiic and have
nothlmr further to do with Its nifalrs,
either by way of guiding Iho Cubans in
the establishment of their government,
or assisting them to maintain their in
dependence; in other words, It sems
to tie supposed by these carping people
that tliu United States has no Interests
to pioteet In tho Island of Cuba and
that'rio matter what its people may do,
we ure only to look on. nut even these
critics admit that if condition under
the new government shall become in
tolerable, intervention will again be
Justifiable and imperative. They would
have us at once terminate our military
occupation, leaving the future uneared
for with the expectation thai, If
tioubles atise there, either by reason
of torelsu demands or Internal dis
orders, by which our Interests aie Im
periled, we will icturn in force to set
mattery right aganv
"II sieeiriie scarcely posolblo that such
vi policy shOultl Una advocates in any
nuart'jr. Unless we provide now for
continued independence and pence In
tho Island of Cuba theie Is no way In
which It run ho assured unless In cose
the necessity arises wu declare war and
enter Upon, the business of MibJu-tiHln-;
and annexing It. It must be seen by
all who have tho real wciratc uf our
country at heait Hint our only, Hun
policy Is to see that u republican gov
ernment Ih now established under con
ditions which recognize our right to
maintain Its stability anil piosperltv.
Cuha. has menaced our peace quite too
long, and hiivlnr- once undertaken lo
remedy an Intolerable condition there
It would be Inexcusable folly to Ignore
the possibility and Indeed piobablllty
of future tumble, or to full to buuhi
against Its recurrence.
"The war with Spain was mulct taken
to put nn end to Intolerable conditions
not only shocking to humanity, hut
nicnaclni; our welfare, unci our wot Is
was hut half done when the authority
of Spain was destroyed. We became
lesponslblc to the people ot C'ubn, to
ourselves, and tho world ut large, that
a good government should bo estab
lished and maintained in place of the
bad one to which we put tin end. The
right to Intervene for the abolition of
a bad government, and the right to In
tervene for the maintenance of n good
government in Cuba, rest upon tliu
same foundation. It Is us much our
duly to exercise our power In the main
tenance of tin Independent, stable and
peacciul government there as It was to
exercise It In the destruction of a
monarchical, oppressive and Inhuman
one. Duty and sulf-lnteiest coincide In
tills respect."
Public opinion Is rapidly conforming
lo tills view.
The ihjht of Oi eat Hrltuin to specify
that ineat.s intended for the Biltlsh
army shall be home grown is unassail
able: Americans must learn to face tho
i'ps' and downs of nn export trade with
philosophy. N
Tlicodorus Hurt.
APART from his personal mer
its as a man, which, to his
intimates, distinguished him
as one among ten thousand,
the.- lute Thtodorim HarL, whose death
came on Saturday looming, after a
biltl illness, was noteworthy as an
editor I'or representing a type of jour
nalism apparently last passing away.
Hi was a pnitleun of the old school
to which Greeley and Raymond and
Dana, in his eaillei days, belonged;
an edito. who regarded the wing of
his say upon the political happenings
of the period as ot greater import
ance than tin turning of a piofitable
balance sheet. In the iitarter-of-a-century
duration of his editorial con
trol of the Plttston Gazette, Mr. Hart
enjoyed a. fair nieasuie of business
prosperity, but lie never subordinated
his convictions to facilitate money
making. The latter-day commercial
type of journalism, in which news
paper policies are determined without
regaid to the personal convictions of
the publishers, but solely from the
point of view of catering to the most
profitable public demands, was an es
pecial abomination to him. Ho looked
upon It as fundamentally vicious; as
a form of iournalistic prostitution sure
to bring the fourth estate into general
disrepute and Impotence. He had no
tolerance for the editor who waa wont
to hide his personal opinions in his
pocket-book. When he believed a par
ty or a. policy was wrong, he pitched
into It with his whole might, and kept
up the fight as long as the enemy waa
in condition to light back. In his pur
suit of men who had deceived or be
trayed him. he was relenlles-s, but he
was not vindictive; he felt that sucli
men were dangerous to the community
and that it was a part of his duty
to discipline them and destroy their
1 owcr for harm.
He was a modest man, whose high
ability and sterling character had to
be learned through close acquaintance.
As a nvuter of fact, while his mature
life was spent in a comparatively cir
cumscribed field, he was one of tho
really girat journalHts of his day; a
man who had every qualification to
lit him tor the most conspicuous posi
tions in the publishing world. Hut his
Idea of success meant, not prominence
nor wealth so much as substantial
manhood, content where its lot is
cast.
They say It is because they don't
like to bo Heated like children that
the Cuban politicians will not accept
the Piatt amendment. And yet, more
and more, they prove by their actions
that they aie only chlldton in tho In
fant elai-s.
Tests for Promotion.
OKI. OP THE strongest reasons
tor doing away with the ur
bltiary ilxed test of written
examinations for the promo
tion of children ft 0111 grade to grade
I the harm that Is wrought by fail
ure to reach thu required aver.me upon
tho children who most need encour
agement, stimulus, and the senso of
self-respect the belief In tluniselve.s
and their ability to do and to attain.
The other side, thut of Injustice done
to tho bright and studious child by
holdliii: him or her back unduly, tiring
1 such children out by repetition of les
son task3 already masWied and dulllnir
mental Interest and activity as a re
sult, Is often dwelt upon, because it
Is more apparent In every case to those
Interested,
It Is not so apt to be rJcognUed that
what Is often called dullness or stu
pidity to knuwledgc, with a liability
to break out Into recklessness, or, with
sumo temperaments, the total loss of
ambition and the development of an
absolute hatred of study, is the legiti
mate result of failure to meet tho writ
ten examination test, and the felt (lis
grace or Innate recognition of Injustice.
Many und many a time such children
ate as tur advanced, as Wv-ll equipped
tor going on, as those who are teadler
with their pens, or are possessed of
a more retentive memory for single.
Isolated jucts. The dally record ot
work accomplished, tho month's or the
term's showing of actual piogross, us
known by the teacher and piinelpal,
ure the more reasonable t-6ts lor pro
motion. We repeat that the cultivation of a
child's si'If respect Is a ltal point In
education, and that for a laigo pro
portion of children this needs faith-
fill uppiuclatlon and clearly shown re
cognition of effort niiule on the child's
part, Tho deslru to head the list nf
promotions or to aland high upon II
cervcH lor a relatively small number.
It Is the desire, the ambition lo accom
plish th best thai lies In hla or her
own Individual power that must ha
uticour:iRi.-il In the average child, and
under present methods Is not so en
couraged nl nil. U Is time for the wilt
I en examination fad. cHiiccially In pri
mary and lower grainiuur -trades, to b;
decently bulled.
There Is not anything "prejudicial to
the private rights of Individual)" nor
"unfali" In administration an between
religious bodies! In the public school
system of tho United States, nor in
such Ftalc contiol of schools ns Is con
ritantly Inveighed against by some
pintles In some church organizations.
There Ih nothing that the people of this
republic will so zealously guard ns the
freedom of the public schools from
ecclesiastical control. Such control
once permitted would bo not merely an
entering wedge for the uniting of
chinch and stute, but their actuul
union In it manner absolutely Inimical
to tepubllcan Institutions.
