tributes a brilliant article to the April
number OF the North American Re-
view entitled, Cuba and Congress-
In which he explains and defends the
legislation relating to Cuba recently
enacted by congress. Senator Bev-
eridge lays emphasis upon the fact
that, from the very foundation ofthe
American government, the defined
national policy OF the United States,
as indicated by the utterances OF our
leading statesmen, has been to regard
the control, II not the actual posses
sion, OF Cuba, as essential to the
sniety OF our country. The only cor
rect and reasonable Interpretation OF
the Teller resolution, therefore, must
be one which shall be in harmony
with that policy; and in that sense
the provisions of the Cuban amend
ment to the army bill may be regard
ed as meeting the requirements Of n
unique situation in q most logical
and satisfactory way. Senator Bev.
eridge appeals to the experience OF
Central and Southern American re-
publlcs for evidence that the sinister
situations which the Cuban amend
ments are designed to prevent would
be the results Of n Cubangovernment
unaidcd by the United States. Our
Cuban legislation, he contends, is it,
ted, as well as intended, to promote
the highest interests of the Cuban
people:
"Thus it appears that u Cuban
legislation deprives Cuba of nothing
that can help her, but bestows every
benefit and erects every safeguard
necessary to her settled and orderly
self-government. 1t insures the de-
velopment of the islands resources
and the highest happiness possible to
its people. Against the enemies 81
Cuba, foreign and domestic, Is drawn
the sword Of the Great Republic; and
under it's protection the infant state
may grow in peace and wax strong
In a sure security. 1t is an inspiring
scene with which the young century
begins-the newest government o
the world aided, guided and protect
ed by the freest. We are not depriv
ing Cuba OF liberty: we are helping
her to liberty. Land owners are moi
to be robbed; they IRE to be protect
ed. Cities are not to be sacked; they
are to be defended. Equal rights ar,
not to be violated; they r to bepre
served and enforced. Free speech Il
not to be suppressed; it Is to be ios
tered. Education is not to be de
stroyed; il is to be built up. Blu
anarchy il To be kept down, foreign
powers kept at bay, and the elements
that oppose Cuban progress held il
check. All this Is not the denial o
liberty; it is the bestDwal OF liberty
For liberty cannot live without ordeI
and law"

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES VIII tnsue.
(Great Falls Tribune.


tGreat Falls Tubune.l
The article In yesterdays Tribune
entitled. "To Attack Many Home
stead entries" deserves more than a
passing notice. While the Tribune
knows nothing OF the merits of the
special case referred to, that Of W. r.
Ridgley's ranch near Cora, 1t has rea.
son to believe that large bodies of
land In Cascade and Teton counties
are being taken up under the home
stead and desert land acts which are
not for settlement, but to e~nlargethe
grazing domain OF n few men engag-
ed In stock growing,
The Tribune believes in the settle
ment of northern Montana, and cs-
pecially OF that part OF it which lies
within n reasonable distance Of u
mountains and which can support "A
farming population without lrriga-
ton. The future growth aud pros
nerity OF Cascade county and ofGrcat

taken to acquire, and have acquired,
immense bodies OF land in Cascade
county, as the Tribune believes,
through entries made 10y parties
working In their interest, thus clos
ing the doors against the settlement
OF these lands by farmers. Only n
short time ago our sheep owners
were content with grazing ilocks up
on the public domain, and, asideirom
acquiring title to two or three 100
acre tracts, they were content to oc-
cupy the open grazing lands Of this
country, but recently the situation
has undergone Il decided change, and,
az has already been stated, immense
bodies Of land are being daily acquir-
ed. AZ ii appears, in the interest of II
few men who have no use for the
plow.
The Tribune believes that this sys-
TEN OF acquiring lands should come
to an end and that every man or
woman who files Il homestead or
desert land claim should becompcllcd
to comply strictly to the letter of the
law.
The department OF the interior
should be asked to investigate the
land entries OF Cascade county thor
oughly, with a view to asccrtaining
their validity. II this j. done un-
d~oubtedly many entries will be can
celled.
The attention OF the Tribune has
been repeatedly called to tile fact that
II large number of desert land filings
in this part OF northern Montana are
Illegal. and that men and women in
Great Falls have recently used theiI
desert land rights in Cascade and Te-
ton counties for the benefit OF Others
and without v c having seen the
lands upon which their filings were
made.
1t is to be hoped that the farmers
near Arlington will cause the land
entries i'm that part OF Cascade coun.
ty to be thoroughly investigated and
will sec to it that no n shall nc
quire title to lands under the home.
stead act, or any other act, who does
not comply strictly with the law.
The Tribune can be depended upon
to stand by the small settlers and
farmers In their efforts to maintain
a foOthold in this county.

Watery Blood a Menace
to Health.
WE KNOW HOW PALE
PEOPLE CAN GET RICH
RED BLOOD.
COME AND LET US TELL YOU
ABOUT vINOL,

When blood is watery and thin, or,
as doctors would say, lacks red blood
corpuscles, it is sign that much is rad
ically wrong.
We would advise everyone who has
such symptoms to start at once to
take proper remedy to overcome this
trouble.
That remedy is Vinol, the greatest
and most modern tonic and rebuilder.
Vinol owes its virtue to the fact that
it contains in highly concentrated
state the active curative principles ex-
tracted from Gods ivers, the same ele-
ments that have made cod-liver oil
famous for wasting diseases.
These medicinal elements are dis
solved in a delicious table wine so that
Vinol is most palatable.
None of the vile-smelling obnoxious
grease that characterizes cod-liver oil
and frequently makes it an impossible
remedy for those who should take it,
is found in Vinol
We could relate many instances
where Vinol has done good and re-
stored the roses of health to the pale
cheeks of the sufferer.
The following is fair sample of the
way people write in regard to Vinol:
'For several months suffered lassi-
tude and tired all the time. Also q
sinking feeling in my stomach, which
nothing would relieve, and I was pale
and weak. As an experiment I tried
Vinol and If wrote pages could not
toll all it has done for me. Mrs. A.
K. LA PRUscH, Amesbury, Mass.
Because we know Vin0l so well.
and because we know so surely
what it will do, and how it will
accomplish the good it does in a
scientific way, we unreservedly en-
d0rSe and recommend it, and in
every instance guarantee to refund
Ito any one what they pay us for
Vinol if they do not find it entirely
satisfactory.
