STRIKES

Are not what the people want. When you go oown and pay quarter to see a ball game you (unless you are a kicker) want to see the home club win; but when you get seated and be- gin to get thoroughly interested ln the game, I tell you it's horribly tantallz- ing to see your favorites come up ana '.strike out.'' Well, the Waterburys this year are not striking out as or ten as they did last season: on the con trary, they are climbing up the ladder and it looks now as if they intend to go to the top. It's comical to hear the little rascalS who steal in (either over or under the fence) say, 'Theres no flies on the Waterburys." Say, speak ing of flies reminds us of line or ny screens we're selling; they are very good ones and the price is very req sonable If you don't want to buy them we will give them to you, pro yIding you are in possession or feW Qf our tea and coffee checks. Remem- Der you enjoy life much better during fthe summer months if you keep the flies on the outside of the house, ana our screens will do that business to perfection We still continue to give a we'll made cap with one pound of our warranted fresh, nice tasting col fee. No wonder we are getting rld of a large number of them. They are as light as a feather, and that's what you want in summer. Next time you're going to buy butter and want fhe nice tasting quality at 22c per pound. just call at

THE CUBAN CONSTITUTION.

II ore impressive than the pause the ma
ton made before the Spanish war. Our
government did not begin that war of it's
own volition. but at the demand of the
American people. Even after the APP
palling news of the destruction of the
Maine the nation paused to consider and
reason out it's line of action. 1t was
magnificent example of national self
control. When at last it reached the con-
clusion that the state of affairs in cuba
was intolerable and must be ended even
ut the risk of war. it was with judicial
Camness that reminded one of those
mills of the GODS which. though
grinding slowly, yet grind exceedingly
small.
The Cuban question has been long
time ripening toward it's present stage.
1t cannot be ended by any summary pro-
ceedings now. Doubtless the convention
in Cuba has made a constitution resent
ting in many respects those of our own
states. 1t will have. or ought to have. the
same guarantees of personal rights and
liberties. the same judicial safeguards,
the same freedom of religious worship
and popular action and. presumab bly,. SIM
liar machinery of republican government
But there are other points of vital i'm
portance. We should know what 1t pro-
vides in the way of restraint or lack of
restraint upon trade. industry, finance
and public works: what provisions it con-
tains regarding foreign relations and
military forces. Above all. we should
know and fully understand what it's pro-
Visions are with regard to the rela
between Cuba and the United States.
Doubtless it's phrases will be friendly
and will contemplate continuance of
mutual friendship. But If it contains pro-
visions looking. directly or indirectly. to-
ward state of possible hostility to the
United States in the future or of foreign
alliances adverse to U.S. all such provi-
sons are inadmssable and must be re-
jected. They would simply undo what
was done by the Spanish war.
When we have the constitution before
us. and not till then. we can decide what
to do with it. Whatever We do should be
done only after due deliberation, consid-
Grafton and care.

DEMOCRATIC PROMISES.

Great Falls Leader: Is it any wonder,
under these circumstances, that these
men who have been deceived once refuse
to again trust those who deceived them
and laughed in scorn to think how easily
it was done. All the calls of the demo-
cratic press, telling these men of their
plain duty, will be appraised at their true
WORTH all appeals of those who call
the mselves democrats will be weighed
carefully, but the time for buncombe has
departed, and what these men want u.s.
more performance and fewer promises
They are men of intelligence and men
who have the ability to mark out a
course for themselves. irrespective of
democratic wishes and in defiance Of
democratic whips.

Of correspondents and the press that the
constitution was coming toward us like
an electric car. that we must jump on as
soon as it touches the crossing or be for
ever left behind. We are told that it is
due on February Is. and that it must be
acted on at once. as there will be only
two weeks of the congressional session
remaining. Otherwise. that we shall have
to have an extra session of the new con-
gress with its trouble and expense. And
that if the new congress does not speedily

Mrs. Nation grows and gets more stage
culture and more experience and more
cash. she will, when we get rid OF her
here. go off somewhere and make an
awful lot of trouble. Being a woman.
nobody cares to be harsh with her. She

disposed of than another comes over to
find the stage prepared and the foot

Well. no Kansas born is ever a crank.

lieve the audience enjoys the play. We

and then with an entire change of pro-
sramne the show goes on.
We suspect that the conclusions of the
Kansas man are not far from right.
When a woman who does all that Carrie
has done in order to vindicate the ma
jesty of the law. is hauled into court and
insists upon starting a revival meeting
on the spot. she must be either first
class humbug or a candidate for the
lunatic asylum.
