The proposed extra tax of 81 barrel on
beer has been widely discussed among whole
sale and retail sellers and consumers of the
amber fluid. The brewers are inclined to OBJ
ject to this tax on the ground that it would
interfere with the industry. A Boston paper
takes the ground that the increased tax is
not as bad as it looks, and says: '"The value
OF glass Of beer is largely in its life. With
out the creamy head which should occupy
at least a third of the space it Is unfit to
lubricate sensitive and educated palate, and
only suited for those sodden drinkers who tip
pie not for the best but the worst effects
The great present need in this business is
better training of the beer. drawer. The
brewer will get the extra tax out Of the re-
taller; the retailer will recoup himself from
the wholesaler, not by increasing the present
upset price Of 5 cents per drink, small, large
or schooner. but by putting into draught
more life and less beer. The government
will be a large gamer, the brewer and re-
taller will not lose anything, and the public
will learn to drink beer on a much more
wholesome and enjoyable pan henceforth and
forever

CUBA LIBRE.

You cannot crush her spirit SpSin.
This Western isle so long your own
To torture, rack and bind with chain.
Cuba lbrei
The mountain fastness holds her bands
On rugged hilsides see their scouts. =
FIRM as rock their leader stands
And woodlands echo with their shouts:
Cuba llbre!
With fire and sword. in treacherous fray.
You seek IN vain to quench their zeal.
Can flame and blood such hearts dismay?
Answer their guns in thunderous peal
Cuba librei
When from your foul, dark palisade,
With pinioned arms a patriot came
Above the noise of fusilade
His voice rang out in loud acclaim
Cuba librei
No firing squad could dull that sound.
Fen death proud freedoms triumph hurled:
Spain, read thy doom-Cuba unbound
Filings wide its message to the world 4,
Cuba libre!

fare has sharpened their appetites for

Effective Patriotism.

The mass meeting to be held in the
Commercial club rooms tomorrow after
noon will be an evidence Of the active
patriotism of st. Paul men and women
The movement is one which should en-
list the sympathies of every one with
out reference to politics, religion or ma
tionality, for it is an effort Of the free
dom-blessed to help the oppressed, to
relieve the, suffering and sorrow
brought on by war, and thus to show
that true and energetic citizen
whether man or woman, is one of the
country's best soldiers It is not the
Idea of the movers to make a "splurge'
OF patriotic sentiment, but to effect an
organization which will be an efficient
help in time Of need. The names of
the vouchers for the enterprise and the
detailed arrangements are printed else
where in these columns and are guar
antics OF the success of the undertake
ing. Inc u has from the begin
ning and does now heartily favor the
efforts of the men and women to bring
ABOUT such an organization.
The annual meeting of the school
unions Of the city will be held Monday
evening in assembly hall Of the Cen
trail high school. The reports of the
officers of the central executive board
will be presented, and also the reports
of the secretaries of the several local
unions, giving the work done during
the year now closing Following there
will be the election Of the officers of the
central board for the ensuing wear.
The first year of any movement is al
ways the test of its capacity for en-
durance. Where there is not persis-
tence as we'll as merit back of 1t for
motive power, no matter how auspic-
ious the beginning, the ending twelve
month is quite certain to see it with
cred and dying. That the school union
movement is able to show in it's first
annual meeting substantial growth
and a firm foundation, indicates that it
has the qualities that deserve success.
1t is expected that there will be a good
attendance Of the members of the local
unions, and, that Of others interested
in the movement and our schools are
invited.

"A woman bent with age, her old eyes fill

once In a. while spoke to a big raw-boned

Kept repeating something in low tone.
He stood at the entry of the womens wait

caught him again. A lady who sat near by
heard her say
You will keep your promise, Wllie?"
The big fellow was too awkward to have
thought of it before, but he stopped her
bothering him by laying a great paw on her
shoulder and saying

wasn't home last night. and. coming up on
the train, he wouldn't speak to me about
what brought him to st. Paul. Now that he
