of the great naval authorities Of the
world and who served as member of
the strategy board, responded to toast
at New York the other nig ght and among
other things said:
I have two thoughts that would like
to dwell upon. The word colony is a
mlsnomer. We cannot have colonies in
a new country that has lately come to
us. I would likewise like to have this
country look upon these new posses
sions of ours as dependencies. We will
have to watch these dependencies, for
they must and will be dependent for a
long time tc> come, and that briugs me
to my other thought, and that is the
need of a purely military government
for these new additions to our territory.
We that are associated with the military
branch of the government are obliged
to deal with men who are dependents.
We are schooled in that sort of thing.
The welfare of the men under The army
and navy officer is always uppermost in
the minds Of officers and we now have
the opportunity of bestowing upon the
people Of the Philippines and the other
countries that are soon to come under
our form Of government a form Of treat
ment tAt:aC they have never dreamed of.
think the only and best way to have
that government success is to have
! military men at the head.
| The next session of the Minnesota leg
islature must enact certain laws before it
adjourns in April.
First, it must institute a rigid investi-
cation into the Minnesota grain inspec-
ton department and then enact some
law, based upon the testimony extorted
from probably unwilling witnesses,
whereby Minnesota farmers will receive
The grades they are entitled to for their
wheat.
Second, the legislature must cause a
rigid stigation to be made into the
manner OF conducting the sale of the
binding twinc manufactured at the Still
water prison.
\ third ENACTMENT should require the
telephone, telegraph and express conpa-
nies to pay a just share of taxes into the
treasury of the state.-Redwood I'd Gazette.

macy others equally pressing, MIR. Lind

he took his stand throughout the entire
campaign.

legislature, he. will see to it that these
pledges are carried out.
If he is not given that support, the
next Legislature will not be republican.

Gen. portuendo, president Ct the Gu
ban assembly, who is of all prominent
Cubans the most sympathetic toward the
United St'1t"s, confirms General Lacret's
statement regarding the attitude of the
Cuban army. He said:
Even should plebiscl,c Of the Cuban
people result in majority voting for
annexation, the revolution party will not
accept that decision, bat will still claim
absolute independence. If the United
States shows u disposition to combat
that claim we can only take to the woods
again. OF course, against the resources
and power of America, we could not last
a month, but we will die fighting for
t.at Independence for which we have so
long struggled. Personally, I believe that
annexation would he the best solution OF
the problem, and also that annexation
