A New Line of Crepe Tissue Papers, all coors

The soil of Cuba is red with the
blood of the men and women who
suffered and died for the price
less boon of national liberty, and
they have a right to their own
country so long as they are able
to conduct it without injury to
others. 1t may be that the Cubans
will show a capacity for govern
ment little suspected at present,
Governor Wood, who knows them
well, thinks they are prepared for
Independence.
. The business men of Cuba want
better trade relations with the
United States and they do not see
much encouragement in the recip-
rocity discussion. 1t is only in
annexation, which would give
their sugar free admission into the
country, that the business men see
hope. Annexation is really their
wisest move.
1t would only take Cuba a few
years to pass through the territorial
stage to statehood. 1t would be
better that annexation should
come now than later after few
years of misgovernment, but it
cannot be done. We owe it not
only to the Cuban people but to
ourselves that they be permitted
to make the experiment of self
government because we fought
Spain for humanity's sake, We
cannot profit by that war now, no
matter how desirable it may seem.

ATTENTION is called to the

malicious tendency of a certain
class of young fellows applies not
only to Halloween but to every

would assume some responsibility
in this matter, it might save future

1850 the number was 1,149,073. In

$40, ,OOO, 900 to their farm wealth be-
tween 1880 and 1890, aud still
larger sum in the last ten years.
The government is not unmindful
of the vast import of agriculture.
Congress has endowed Agricultural
colleges in every state and territory.
These institutions represent q
value of $4,000, 900, aud their in
come is $4,000, 900. Their students
last year numbered 3l,85S. The

MckInIey's Journey.

President Mckinley and party,
consisting of the first lady of the
land and many of the cabinet officials
and their wives, will soon begin his
trans continental trip and will in
clude Pueblo, Colorado Springs and
Denver in his itinerary of stops.
The party will travel II, 900 miles
and visit half of the states in the
union, the journey lasting almost two
months.
This is something unique in the
history of the administrations, and
the West will be particularly glad to
welcome the president, as the trip
will necessarily open the eyes of
the chief magistrate to the bigness
and importance of the country this
side of the Mississippi river, and

Prosperity on tho Farms.

When the farmer reads that the
value of the share capital Of thirty
four leading American railway com
panies has increased over 1920, 900 >
600 within the past six months, &C :
cording to Stock Exchange quota
tions, he may ask why farm proper
ty shows no such enhancement. The
same question is suggested when the
aggregate exports from the United
States for nine months Of the present
fiscal year are reported to be 81, 14O,-
ITO, ,72S, or $50, 900, 900 increase over
last year, with favorable annual
trade balance exceeding $5OO,0OO,-
600. Farming is 80 vast an interest
that its current condition cannot be
expressed in fgurs. 1t is not cap
italized in stock and bonds, and its
values are not quotable from day to
day. But suy intelligent farmer
can make comparison of the gen.
eral state of his industry with what
it was six. or eight years ago, and
will then realize the immense gain
that has occurred. In fact, the &C.
tivity among the railways and the
rapid growth of foreign exports
largely rest on farm production.
1t is stated by the chief statistic
ian of the agricultural section of the
twelfth census that the net additions
to farm resources IN the ten years
between 1890 and 1900 exceed the
value of all farm investments in
1850. As the writer referred to puts
the case: "The increased wealth OF
our farmers, as the result of their
last ten years labor, equals the farm
wealth of the nation reported as the
outcome of their toll and economies
from the settlement at jamestown
to the middle of the nineteenth CEN
tury." Advances on the Stock Ex-
change fade into a small affair beside
a colossal increment like that. In

or course, there are those who will
ascribe unworthy motives to the pres
ident in projecting the trip, some OF
the antis already expressing them
selves as being fearful that it means
laying the groundwork for a third
term. But the great American pub
lie has already taken the measure Of
the paid critics of the administra-
ton and have learned that it does
not pay to give heed to professional
cheats and falsifiers.
President Mckinley will be in Pu-
eblo June 9Th, but just how long a
stay he will make nobody as yet
knows. His stay will be brief, how :
ever, merely a call and he will be of
again. OF course, suitable prepare
tions will be made for his reception
and the Business Mems Association
will probably have charge Of affairs.
1t will be a great occasion for this
city and thousands upon thousands
of people from all over this section
of the state will gather here to get q
