THE GOVERNMENT OF CUBA

Gen. Leonard Wood, the successful
Governor of Santiago, in the North
American strenuously insists upon
the absolute necessity of keeping
Americans and all others than the in
habitants of the island and of Cuba
out of office in Cuba" He says: The
appointment of Americans to office
here. except as above stated, is re-
garded by the people as a great in
justice; and, if we are here to teach
them to govern themselves it would
seem that the best way to begin IS by
letting them try, standing here our
selves simply to supervise, and, if nee
essary, check, when we see affairs go
ing wrong" That is sound doctrine
"let them try''-and it has been
repeatedly urged as the only way
in which people can become
truly self-governing. The same gen.
eral method should be adopted for
Porto Rico as well, Notwithstanding
that Porto Rico has been annexed to
the United States. No ''carpet-bag
gers" should apply. BY such methods
these two West India Islands can be
transformed and made happy, pros
porous abodes for their own people.
President Mckinley is without doubt
in favor of this method of governing
both F"bans and Filini,:1s.
Eve % us, the rscuds citizens of
he ,spublic, there seems some
thir s,1real about this proposition OF
&c, cod. We have failed to apply
it to our own fellow citizens, the In
dians, because the Indian administra-
ton involved SO much welcome Doodle
to the working patriots. Can the Pres
ident withstand the pressure of the
carpet-baggers? Can he withstand the
whom he must look for aid in secur-
ing the laws for the government of
the dependencies? Let us not expect
too much. If small army of carpet
baggerS are sent down to Cuba in or
der to warm their political toes, it is
better than sending a large army of
them. Changes in policies must not
be too violent.
The people, on the whole, like Gen.
Wood and Gen. Ludlow, and may ia
vor their retention in office. But Sen
ator Quay may defeat the wishes of
the people unless it becomes decided
and ugly.
1t would not be surprising if the adj
minstration of our military men in
the dependencies became noted for its
honesty and wisdom. The bosses Turk
ing in the woods, may pot them at
first and supply Cuba and the Philip
pines with ambitious men who are
seeking reputation, or wish to repair
lost regulations.
The military men, whose places are
secured for life, will be, on the whole,
the best instructors Of the darker races
in the art of self-government.

: CYCLING NOTES



The professional circuit-chasers are
wondering how they can make a living
TINS year If they ride at only two meets
mat is the sum total of outlaw meets in
sight.
Il is satisfactory to find that the false
idea, which prevailed for time, that
the presence of a brake on a bicycle
oetokened novice, is rapidly giving
way to the more correct idea that a
brake is one of the most necessary ad-
jEncts to machine.
Talk about the uncertainties of adver.
Using is rather wearisome. Advertising
is no more uncertain than merchandising
or manufacturing. Mistakes are made
in advertising just as they are in other
operations. When advertising is done
right it is just as sure to pay dividends
as a wisely managed bank.
Good roads make better citizens.
They promote wealth and prosperity.
They promote sociability and good
fellowship. They make up-to date COM
munities. They are the foes Of provin-
cialism and mossbackism. Invest
ment in good roads is the height of good
judgment. Agitate the good roads
question.
An unusually attractive prize list will
be offered in the Irvington-Milburn road
race this year The prizes consist of
$75 Olive chainless wheel, AN Olive track
racer and an Olive road wheel. The po-
sition prizes are headed by a tandem,
followed by three single wheels, sew

score of less valuable articles. Entries

Eight speedy amateur riders have been
invited to take part in the Australian
pursuit race. to be run at the meet at
Waverly Decoration Day. The contestants
will be started from eight points on the
track, sixteenth of mile apart. The
object of the race is for each rider to
overtake the man ahead of him As
soon as the contestant is caught by a
rival he drops out. The race continues
until some one of the riders overtakes
all the others, and usually causes plenty
OF excitement. Five other events under

Cream of
Tartar

Cream of tartar comes from
grapes. 1t has been used for
leavening purposes for genera
tons and has proved perfectly
wholesome.
AS only a few pounds of it
are obtained from hundreds of
pounds of grapes, it is neces-
sarily expensive; that is why SO
many baking powder manufac-
turers use alum and other adul-
terants as substitutes.
Cleveland's baking powder is
made of cream of tartar and is
absolutely pure and wholesome.

and its success as a seller Is practically as
sured.
The salary Of demonstrator ranges from
$40 to SIS a week. An especially clever
demonstTator is sometimes allowed a per-
centage on sales, and thus swells her weekly
earnings to $25 or $50. Not few expert
demonstrators are trusted by the employer
to make the preliminary arrangements for
a demonstration. They interview the mer-
chant secure space in his store, employ
other demonstrators and travel from city to
city, until the novelty is introduced into
every desired center of trade
One Of the most expert women in the
unique calling is Mrs Harding of Boston.
She is employed by the manufacturer of a
kindergarten toy The last winter she had
eighty demonstrators under her supervision.
\ thoroughly trained saleswoman, she does
not hesitate vheu she perceives that a
demonstrator is wanting in "go" to step
behind the counter and put life into the
exhibit. 1t is this ability and thorough
knowledge of the requirements of a demon
stration that make her invaluable to the
manufacturer AS most of the novelties per-
tain to women's apparel-har crmpers,
skirt supporters, belt fasteners, stocking
supporters-women are peculiarly adapted
to the calling.
Il study the crowd that gathers" said
Mrs. Harding, recounting her experiences,
and fixing my eye on the most intelligent,
| talk directly TO him or her. The crowd
notes the preference. Its curiosity is
piqued and its attention is at once rveted."
There Is quickening desire among am
bilious dry goods clerks to become demon
strators. 1t has many advantages over that
of the clerk, aside from salary and possi-
bility of percentage. The demonstrator is
not under the supervision of the proprietor
of the store Her hours are shorter. In
the morning she rarely goes to the store
before or 10 o'clock and generally leaves
at night half hour or so before the clerks.
She is much more independent. To have
charge of demonstration, to feel the re-
sponsibility of making sales and creating
demand imbues the demonstrator with some
thing of the dignity of authority, and au-
thority often develops latent power. In
ventors and manufacturers are rapidly learn
ing that it is poor economy to employ
demonstrators of inferior skill. striking
indication of the drift of the times is now
being demonstrated in lower Broadway A
woman who has invented and patented a
skirt supporter designed to do away with
the often unsightly belt fastener has opened
an Office, where she is personally placing
her invention on the market. She employs
manufacturer to make the novelty, con-
tracts for store space and is employing and
, training her own demonstrators. But un-
less one has capital and plenty of it there
is no more hazardous, however imperative,
method of advertising than by practical
demonstration.
