I Both Washington and California
have by their supreme courts handed
down decisions unpolding the eight
hour law for women. Women are the
winners everywhere these days, and
It seems as if they have but to let
their wants be known and they are
granted. How will It be on woman's
suffrage at the next state election.

This Is why the United States has a
right to oversee affairs Cuban and
handle them If necessary: It Is a
clause from the agreement made some
years ago:
''The government of Cuba consents
that the United States may exercise
the right to Intervene for the preser
vation of Cuban ' independence, the
maintenance of a government ade
quate for the protection of llfe.prop
erty and individual liberty, and for
discharging the obligations with re
spect to Cuba Imposed by the treaty
ot Paris on the United States, now to
be assumed and undertaken by the
government of Cuba."
Further than that, the United States
Is to see to It that tbe Island does
not contract any debt which Its rev
enues cannot care for and meet. Cuba
Is In safe hands.

Past Democratic Conventions
Washington, D. C, June 22: That
convention which ovens at Baltimore
next Tuesday will be the twenty-tlrst
national assemblage of the democratic
party, while the one In Chicago, is
only the fifteenth republican national
gathering. But the democratic party
surpasses the republican In age much
more than this difference would Indi
cate. Born In the bank controversy
of 1791, christened by Jefferson, Its
founder, In 1792, and strengthened In
the division of the people which Wasa
Ington's neutrality proclamation at
beginning of the Anglo-French war In
1793 caused, the democratic party
passed Its centennial mark more thau
a decade ago.

Lincoln's Aphorism
"You can bool all of the people part
of the time, and part ot the people all
of the time, but you can't fool all the
people all the time," This U never
better proven than . at tbe time of
great political struggles: Leaders In
noise and squabbles appear and for
the time being are regarded as the
receptacles of all truth pertaining to
national affairs; but when the cyclone
has passed and the calmness of con
sideration settles on the masses and

our body politic It the genius, com

spirit of commoners.
time accepted by most advaaoed
theorists ' as the best means of ac
counting tor the existence ot the earth
under the hand of the devine guide.
Recently this has been rather set a
slde; but it was a massive thought that
the mass of original star-dust and its
final shaping was the spheres seen in
the sky and akin to the earth. The
cataclysmic action of the matter of
world-stuff is beyond comprehension.
Just now the earth-stuff has been In
cataclysmic action with Chicago for
a storm center. It would smash the
ear-drum ot a phonograph to receive
all that bluster and set it crazy to at
tempt to retail it out to the public.
Yet out of the all the storm peace will
come, for the people are tot craiy.
Baltimore
This convntlon city rich In history
and tradition is the center tor the
saplency of the democrats. They have
been noted for their noise and uncon
trolled speech and wild demonstra
tions; but It would seem that they
have lost their reputation to the re
publicans this year. Let them do what
they will, the people will in Novem

It may not be too soon to write his
epitaph. He is a queer genius. The .
