The presence of American marines in Haiti last

year proved a great relief to the frontier guard, by

breaking up the large gangs of lawbreakers on the

|Haitien side.

As a result of the frontier work, and of honest and

efficient administration of the collections at the ports,

the revenues have increased greatly. The republic

is paying the interest on its debt, and its finances are

in solid condition. Unfortunately, revolution has again

broken out, and revolution always means a failing off

in imports and exports and a corresponding decrease

in revenue. But it Is not likely that the present dis

turbance will be of long duration.

Meanwhile the local demagogues are trying to make

capital out of the presence of American marines, shout

ing that the nation should go into mourning in the

presence of foreign intervention. But every man who

han even a rudimentary capacity for judgment and

no ax to grind must realize that what connection the

United States has with the Dominician republic is not

only absolutely necessary, but the best thing that ever

happened to that country.

Pointed Paragraphs

Much of our time has been wasted by people

who insisted on telling us their imaginary troubles.

The best some people can do is think near

thoughts.
