General ErooUe cr some other officer
in military command, 3t subordi
nate to the civil authority.
Some of tbe rof-iie of Cuba are
naturally becoming in-patient at the
continuation of the military govern
ment. Except for the greater hu
manity, intelligence and honesty of
the American administration, they
are in a position in some rcsp"..3
similar to the one they we;e in under
the Spar.ib rule. The principle is
the same, tbe government being
based on ruili'Rry force. A civil
government under General Wcod,
following out the practice of this
general in Santiago, of putting natives
in tfiieial positions as far as possible
end consulting local opinions and
preferences, would no doubt be
highly popular and would pave the
way for annexation of the island to
the United States with the consent
of the vast msj rity of the people
dulj ex ressert'at the polls.
The iu!es according to which
General Wood has been acting were
explained by biuj in a recent article
in the Century Magoziue:
If," he says, 4,we give the Cubans
an honest, economical government,
and use every means to put the
most desirable and competent Cubans
in office, liberalize and Americanize
'their institutions, improve the sani
tary and other conditions of their
towns, organize and put ia effect a
suitable school system, get rid of the
present intolerable administration of
the criminal law, and put in opera
tion a complete system of taxation,
t e shall find that there is no Cuban
q lestion leftand that we are dealing
not with a distrustful, suspicious and
resentful people, but with a people
who i!l appreciate what we arc
doing for them and will give us their
cordial support."
Those who know General Wood or
hitvc carefully watched bis career in
Cuba believe that the placing bim
in control of the island would settle
the question of annexation by de
termining the people, even the
Cuban population, to accept it eager
ly. There may be some who may
say that we do not want Cuba an
nexed, but what else can re do with
it without running the risk of incur
ring more trouble? If we leave the
people to themselves and & state of
anarchy ensues, we should be called
upon to interfere again, and in the
meantime the ground already gained
would have been lest.
was for the Man in the Iron Mask.
Jealousy, malevolence or any cthei
base emotion may have immurred
them, but when once the doors of
their prison closed upon them they
were never opened until the .risoncr
was carried to '.he graveyard. Such
a fate is not possible in the modern
age, not even in Russia's Siberia,
which has ceased to be a place for
the confinement of political offenders.
Civilization, democracy, the creation
of an intelligent and alert public
opinion, have prevented a repetition
in our century of the lettres de
cachet death warrants by which the
pompadours, the Montespans end the
other parasites of the courts wreaked
revenge on their enemies. The
world is immeasurably brighter and
better than it was a century ago or
earlier, and the change has been
largely due to the annihilation of
caste barriers and the diffusion of
the democratic spirit which has been
forced upon the world by the precept
and example of the United States.

PUBLIC OFFICE A I'M VA TE SXAP
TRIAL THAT WILL BE HISTORIC
Something more thun Capt. Drey
ftis, an officer charged with selling
military secrets to another nation, is
on trial in the little mediieval capital
of Brittany, in Fiance. The govern
mental system of France is on trial.
This case will show whether France
is ruled by her eople or by a con
clave of military officers. It will
reveal whether that country is a re
public or a military oligarchy, which
Assistant Secretary of the Treas
ury Vnnderlip has ordered a reduc
tion in the salaries of some of the
chiefs and assistant chiefs of tbe
treasury department, says the Spokesman-Review.
The reason given for
it is that Mr. Vanderlip has been
making an investigation of the work
mg of some of the divisions in the
department with which he is con
netted and has found that the
government employes give more
time to loitering, talking and read
ing newspapers than they do to
labor. As the chiefs and assistant
chiefs are held responsible for the
men under them they are the parties
who are made to suffer through a
reduction of salary .
If some of the other government
officials in high places would make
nn examination similar to that made
by Mr. Vanderlip, the probabilities
are that a large number of govern
ment clerks would be woiking for
less wages than they received before
such examination. If some of the
heads of departments would occasion
ally and unannounced drop ic upon
the employes under them no doubt
they would find a good many who
arc earning their salaries in social
converse, newspaper reading or
scientific time killing.
Tbe reason for this is that public
office is and always has been re
garded as a private snap and not a
public trust, as a distinguished presi
dent once expressed it. It is not
often you run across a liard-woiked
public official. It is rare to find one
who is actually wearied unless it be
through ennui. You never hear
them groaning becauso ihey are
mentally and physically tired out.
Their hours are short and their pay
sure, and when the office is closed at
3 or 4 or 5 in the afternoon there

other white men have to wrestle with
tight and ten and twelve hours a
day. O'.her men may worry and
fret and fume and slave; the office
holder dcesn'L lie doesn't have to.
That isn't what he got appointed for.
It might be possible to get more
woik owl of the average public
oflkisl, but it is doubtful. They are
in a sort of a trust which objects to
over-exert ion. There are too many
hallowed memories of easy times to
warrant much genuine activity in a
place, the salary of which is paid by
Uncle Sam. There are too many
sacred traditions to bo overcome be
fore we can hope that the officeholder
will do as much work as the man in
private life dtes. Under prodding
such as Mr. Vanderlip has given it
may be that a few of them will "hit
her up" until such time as they are
not watched by a hard-hearted, un
feeling and over zcalou3 superior,
but they w ill gradually drop back
into the old lcthaigy, which is more
circumspect and altogether comfort
able. Some time a sort of a revolu
tion may work changes for the better,
but until s.ch a revolution comes
perhaps all we can say is, long life
to the lucky dogs who get so much
out of their pull, their politics, their
pipes and their. periodicals.

First Sergeant Lee K. Morse was shot
and killed Jan. 6, 1599, about 11 o'clock
at niuht, on the wall at Manila, by a
sentinel who uiEtork him for a prowling
native for whom Morso himself was
searching. Hi had been first lieutenant
of Company K, at Portland, but was
not in the service when the war broke
out. He came to Portland from Eastern
Oregon and enlieted when he found he
could not get a commission. His body
was taken to Portland, where his parents
live, by bis brother, alpo a member of
the company, and was then conveyed to
Michigan for burial.
Private William Field enlisted from
Company G, of Tbe Dalits. He was at
Camp McKinley detailed to the cotn-
misary department under Lieut. Piatt.
At Cavite in July, 1S9S, be was detailed
to the regimental hospital, and in
August was transferred from the volun
teer service to the United States Hoe-
pital Corns, and when the regiment went
to Manila he remained at the hospital
in Cavite. 11a soon after contracted
typhoid fever and died Sept. 6ib. The
company went over to Cavite in a body
to attend his funeral. He was buried
on the marine hospital grounds and tbe
boys erected a good headstone at their
own expenee. It can be said of Field
that his sickness was largely due to his
neglect of himself while caring for
others. He has a mother and a vouna
brother and sister at Ceotaar, Mo., to
whom his effects were cent, and a father
at Portland.
Henry 0'Flahrrty enlieted ith Com
pany C men. His father lives near
Vancouver, Wash. He was an extreme
ly generous and kind hearted boy, and
much of tbe time was given charge of
the feeding of the sick men of the com
pany, whom be never neglected. He
was in the hospital several times with
measles and fever, and contracted small
pox at a time when all his vitality bad
been exhausted by fever. He died
March 9, 1809, and was buried at Manila.
Guy Millard had been a member of
Company K a number of years, and
came back aain when the war broke
oat. He was shot in the breaet during
the charge at Malabon. Some of the
boys helped bim a little way to the rear.
When the hospital corps foand him he
was trying to aid another wonnded man,
who was by no means so badly hort as
himself. He died before they could get
bim to the field hospital. He was
buried on Artillery Knoll, near Manila.
His mother, Mrs. Hialop, lives in Port

Those, who met Lieut. Telfer during
his visit here Sunday will be gratified to
leard that word has bsen received from
M. A. Moody to the effect that the Ore
gon delegation this morning selected him
as censussupervisor for the second con
gressional district. This has been a po
sition much sought after, and Lieut
Teifer has been honored in the selection,
which was no doubt given on account
of efficient service as an officer during
the lato war, and also from a personal
knowledge of his business career before
he enlisted. For some time he was a
traveling man, then held the position as
manager for Lewis & Dryden, in Port
land. He is a native of Buffalo, X. Y.,
but for years has made his home In Port
land.
Lieut. Telfer is a favorite with the
boys of Company L, and everyone who
met film here was pleased with hi
genial manner. His splendid tribute
to our soldier boys, if nothing else
would endear him to the hearts of
Dalles people, who congratulate him on
the appointment.
