with recitations in negro dialect, kept the
audience in good humor and in a mood to
assist the worthy cause for which the ex-
hibit was instituted.
Mrs. Hoffman is working very hard to
make the exhibit financial success, anu
it has been decided to reduce the admission
fee during next week to 10 cents. There
will be kindergarten lecture tonight by
Miss Pollok and the pupils of Mrs. Dyer
will execute some fancy dances.
The ladies of the Sixth Presbyterian
Church are giving luncheon today in con-
nection with the exhibit and the financial
result promises to be a satisfactory one,
judging by the numerous attendance. The
Industrial exhibitors are distributing sam
pies of their ware and the visitors cannot
complain Of the lack Of attractions. The
village is attracting the attention of crowds
every night and many are the comments
on its beautiful, artistic execution.

States will wait until a government is
firmly established in the islends.
This is not to be accomplished in a
dav but it will be accomplished and
Cuba, when her own government IS es-
tablished Will have a permanent one.
The intelligent people of Cuba are tax
ing great interest in our government
and our ways, and are trying to get mt
themselves to take up the burden OF
government. Like the educational
matter, it Will be a long time before the
Cubans are entirely fitted for self-gov-
eminent, but they are doing their best
and are making good progress.
The belief that there is a large law
less set in Cuba is an error. l never
heard of a negro being burned to the
stake in Cuba, nor have ] heard of any
lynching bees. Cuba is not so bad. The
bulk of the people are law abiding and
industrious. Once let Cuba become
prosperous and the people who have
undergone so much in the past will be
come contented and the old restlessness
will pass The Spanish residents are
a good class. Many SpaniardS are
coming into the island. They are the
class that will benefit the island, for
thew are the labor class. v 18th the old
causes of bitterness between the Gu
bans and SpaniardS, the political causes
wiped out, there will be no trouble be-
tween the races The Spanlard VINO

is a gain. It was the other class OF
Spaniards that ruined the island and
caused the bitterness.
for an immediate government of their
own. but the more intelligent of these
have long since realized that our con-
ception of the task that we took up
was more fitting than theirs was, and
these people are the ones who now
want US to remain until the time comes
when there will be no danger of Cuba's
being unable to stand alone.
1.-The work of organizing a govern
ment is going on as rapidly as may be.
1t viii not be long before the whole is
the Cubans will be receiving lessons in
a practical way. In Havana of course
the governmen is now well established
and working most smoothly. 1t has
been our policy to withdraw whenever
possible the military control but not the
supervision and aid. AS to Havana's
condition there is a misconcepti0n of
it. The city has never been as badly
off as some other cities on the island.
Today it is in as good condition as can
be but not so good as it will be in the
future

KEEP THE GUNS.
Effort Made to Secure Arms
Used by Twentieth Kansas.

The guns which the members of the
Twentieth Kansas regiment used in the
Philippines are very likely to become
the property of the Kansas educational
institutions which maintain a military
department in connection with the reg
ular school work.
These institutions are the state nor
NAL, Baker university at Baldwin and
the State Agricultural college.
This will require an act of congress
but the friends of the institutions are
confident they viii be able to secure
such a law early in the next session Of
congress.
Anticipating that such a law would
be passed the chief of ordnance at
Washington has written Governor
Stanley a letter in which he says:
An act of congress will be necessary
to gain such permission for the use Of
the guns in the state educational insti-
tutiOns where military departments are
maintained. Pending action by con-
gress upon this subject, the guns may
be retained by you, intact. In the
event the law is not enacted the arms
can be then returned to the arsenal"
The guns are the old Springfield pat
tern and are being rapidly replaced by
new and more modern rifles in the army.

ONLY TWO ELECTED.
Republicans Failed to Elect a Single
Soldier Candidate.


The result of the last election shows
that but two soldier candidates were
elected to office and they were Demo-
Gratis. All of the Republican soldier
candidates were defeated. There were
about 20 before the people for county
offices.
DR.. V. T. Boaz. who was a hospital
steward in the Philippine campaign
with the Twentieth. was elected coro-
ner in Crawford county. He was a
Democrat on the fusion ticket.
Corporal Charles ROssman. a Demo-
crat, was elected clerk of Miami coun-
ty.
Mat Foster, a Populfst, lacked five
votes of being elected county clerk in
Johnson county. He was a member of
the Twentieth Kansas regiment.
In the various local campaigns, an
analysis of the election returns shows
that where soldiers were nominated
they were not supported by other than
the party votes except in counties
where only one party had named a
soldier candidate for office. Examples
of this are in the cases of BOaz and
ROssman. They ran ahead of their
tickets, the indications being that Re
publicans deserted their party candi-
dates in order to vote for the soldier
nominee.
In counties where the lines were
squarely drawn between the fusionists
and the Republicans, the nomination of
a Republican soldier did not help that
party in the least

CUBA'S CONDITION.
Eighty Per Cent of the Population IL
literate-Not Fit For Self
Govern meut

New York, Nov. 10.-GeneraI William
Ludlow, military governor of Havana,
reached his home in Flushing last even
ing. To a reporter General Ludlow
talked at length upon the condition of
affairs in Cuba. He considered the
greatest drawback to the Improvement
of the people their great illiteracy.
Among other things ne said:
THE condition of the people is some
thing awful in that respect. Eighty
per cent of them are il1iterate. The
Spanish for three hundred years had
an elaborate system of schools and
academies. The theory was splendid,
and had they done the work they were
supposed to do, things would have
been different. Very little progress has
been made by US yet, for we have been
too busy with more important matters
to give much attention to education
Still we have made a beginning and in
Havana. there is now something of an
approach to schools. What we need
most is q system of industrial schools,
in which youths of the city and country
can be taught trades and occupations.
The education of the children IS an
other matter, as it must be started from
infancy but the boys now growing up
must be taught something useful, that
they may earn their living 1t IS too
late to start them on thorough course
of education. They would be too old to
be of any good by the time they had
attained a good education Therefore
they must be taught something that
will enable them to live and then the
child must be taught systematically
1t Will take a long time to educate the
people of Cuba up to the standard OF
our people.
The condition of Cuba today is bad,
but it is much better than when we
took hold. When Cuba passed into the
hands Of our care the sugar planta-
lions had been idle for years, the plants
We're destroyed, the people sick and
starved. The rich residents Ofthe ISLANDS
We're and are poor. They have wealth,
but it is all tied up in the land, which
for years was rendered valueless be
cause of the disturbed condition OF the
country. They have not been able to
go ahead and start again The tobacco
Industry is looking up, but the prOsecu-
ton of that does not require large
amounts Of money as does the sugar IN
dustry.
What Cuba needs now is capital and
the worlds money will not be invested
in Cuba until the world is certain that
it will be protected by the United
States. That assurance the world has
been slow to believe. What is feared
is a shotgun republic. The capitalists
fear that money invested in Cuba viii
be as uncertainty guarded as that IN
vested in South American republics,
where revolutions are so often The
worlds money fears that when the
United States leaves Cuba the govern
ment established there will be over
thrown and that revolutions will occur.
This will not be the case. The United
