peneGt. OF tho War.

at is not likely that wars will cease
TO break out from time to time. The
interval of peace which this country
has enjoyed since the close OF the civil
war is the longest which has happened
since the declaration of independence.
and our situation now shows the neces-
sity OF being prepared for war al any
moment. ] regard the present war as
fraught with many blessings. 1t uni

the opportunity To prove her loyalty to
the fag-an opportunity which she
eagerly embraces. II Will create a SEN

Is Indispensable in these days TO the
security OF great maritime and COM
mercial power like the United States:
for II Is sea power which commands
the wholesome respect of nations to-
day. 1t Will prove that the island OF
Cuba, directly or indirectly, is as es-
sential to the peace and safety of the
United States as the control OF large
island at the mouth OF the Thames
would be to England, or one at the
mouth OF the Seine would be to France.
Look back over the diplomatic history
of this country for seyenty-hve years
and you will find that one of its most
interesting chapters relates to Cuba.
You will find that during all OF that
period Cuba has been a constant source
OF anxiety to us lest It might, through
European intrigues or upheavals, pass
into other hands than those OF Spain.

am just in receipt from Mr..

letter received by him from his IA
theirs former Comrade in arms
Commodore w. S. Schley-which
think worthy of a place in your

ing the highest commendation.
Very truly yours, HENRY MOORE.

Sir:-I thank you sincerely for your
graceful and complimentary note,

things you have written when the

yalor and conspicuous conduct of ali
the gallant men who helped to a re-
suit so complete and a victory Sc
rich in glory for our united coun-
try.
The greatest satisfaction of the
victory of July 3rd, comes to us in
in the admiration and love of our
people for whose defence we stood
that day, and whose history has
been made the richer for the mary

Controlling the Price Of Wheat.

Events during the past few months
in the Chicago wheat pit has shown
how powerful one man can be.
Throughout the whole OF civilization
the increase in the price of bread
has been felt. This power of a sim
gle man, however, Is not so great as
that of one single medicine in re
Heving and curing many diseases
This is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
and It's influence for good extends to
ali lands. When the mouth tastes
badly IN the morning, when appe-
tite is lost, when dizzy spells come
on, when you are easily tired and
have no desire to work, take a wine
glass full of the Bitters before meals
and you will feel like a different per
son. This one medicine controls the
health of everybody.

1t should be remembered that in
dividuals cannot accumulate wealth
without business capacity, nor can
a city AVOID enormous debts with

dividuals or corporations must live
within their incomes if they are to

ties. This is a pointer to the city

TO HAVE A PICNIC.

Quite a crowd of the Wheelers of
this city met last night at the Cos
mopolitan Hotel to see if they
could not infuse new lite in the
Mercury Wheel Club and bring
back the old time interest in wheel
ing, this club.had established here
at one time. It was resolved that
the club give a picnic at some date
next month at Spirit Lake, and
Messrs. w. A, Mccartney, Louis
Lawson and Tom Whitmarsh were
appointed to arrange for trains
and grounds and to fix rates within
the reach Of all. They will immed'
lately open negotiations with ticket
agent Godbold and will get the best
rates possible for the club. During
the meeting an owl flew into the
window and perched himself over
the head of the president of the
club, J. C. Edwards, and looked as
wise as did the president and it was
thought by the superstitious mem
members present that it toretOld
good luck to the picnic.
After this meeting this owl was
made captive by Harry Hunter
catching him on the fly, and he
was offered to each member sepa-
rate as a present, by the captor,
but was refused. Harry threw his
prize out of the window and that
owl may be a thousand miles away
now.
The club adjourned subject to a

Judging from the earnest plead
ings of our city dailies, one would
suppose that manufacturing plants
are destined to cure all our econom.
ic ills. Under present conditions OF
business aud finance, textile facto-
ries, to earn a profit on invested
capital, must grind from the oper-
atiyes the greatest possible amount
of labor for the least possible wa
ges. Consequently, while the fac
tory represents wealth, people who
perform the labor are representa-
tives of abiect poverty. Ten men
may prosper while 500 drink the
dregs of privation. A thousand dol
lars iudiciously spent in promoting
the interests of agriculture would
bring more happiness to the people
of Texas than ten times the amount
invested in factories, and this will
always be the case under present
financial conditions There is too
much difference between the value
of manufactured goods and the
value of money.-Ex.
