CUBAN AGITATORS

Cuba has its supply of professional
egitators and some of them are making
dire threats against Tho United States.
In due time the Cubans VIII have the
island turned over to them. and in :
shape that could not have been made
possible under ten years Of sslf-reco1-
struction
When the United States gets the
island in Trim, adjusts the financial
problems. establishes schools, makes
health regulations what they should
be, and puts inv0 operation modern
systems of municipal government,
and all that kind CT thing, the Cubans
will have been given a push to the
fore that viii give Them ample oppor-
tunity to make the best and the mos
of their property. To attempt to ques-
ton the wisdom of the work now be-
ing done by this country and the gen
erous and unselfish devotion of the
American agents in charge IS ingrati-
tide of the first quality
The first thing to be done by thu
new government will be to discipline
those agftators who, while objec5ing
to the presence of the Americans on
the island, are actually standing in
the way Of their fellow citizens. No
people were ever given better
opportunity to make fresh star
than The Crbans are gwen by Their
friends the people of the United
States. We finished their war for
them, at the expense of many good
m5n and millions of dollars, and now
we are setting about building up what
had been allowed to go to ruin during
centuries Of misruIe and long years Of
desultory strife. No nation ever did
more for struggling people. 1t is to
be hoped that the rattle-heads who
are clamoring against the United
States are not to be taken as The in
telHgent and thoughtful Cubans.''

given too much weight Naturally
the man who fails. no matter what the
cluse, has tale of woe to tell. The
trouble has been that too many such
tales have been given publicity. The
operations this year at Glendale and
elsewhere in the valley attest TO the
growth os the fruit industry. Our
melons have been most favorably re-
ce-ved in She eastern markets, and
the express companies viii next year
make an extra effort to handle mel
ons on a large scale. The farmers OF
the valley have been given a needed
object lesson this year and it is likely
that next summer the supply of fruit
wiz be larger and Of a better quality.
This is destined - become a great
fruit center.
