Cuban Annexation.

"Unless Cuba is annexed to the
United States within a year it never
will be-" said Mr.. G. Castellanos, of
Havana, who was in this country a
few days ago. off the United States
wants the island, now is the time
for them to get it. The people are
poor and there is no demand for SUI
gar and tobacco, the principal pro-
ducts. The failure of Congress to
adopt the reciprocity resolution was
a great blow to the island, but we
think we shall find a demand for our
sugar in Europe. When this is done
our people will be come prosperous
and all will oppose annexation.
"It will take several years to bring
order out of chaos and establish pros
perity. But when this is done the
people will be satisfied and will OPP
pose any effort toward annexati5 r."

The Good Roads Division of the
Department of Agriculture is trying
to work up a strong sentiment
among farmers, to secure the build
ing of better roads in various parts
of the country. In many sections,
it is stated, enough money is spent
on haphazard road making and road
improvement, so-called, to secure a
good start at building scientific ma
cadam roads which would enable the
farmers to haul twice as heavy loads
with less horse power. Good roads
are most needed when the roads are
naturally worst-during the rainy
season. Good farms, it is observed,
usually accompany good roads. The
reason is plain. The farmer can
haul his products, his fertilizers, etc.,
at an expense of much less time and
labor, and thus devote more atten-
ton and energy to the improvement
of his farm.

the public awaits with interest the
outcome of the attempt.

that strong pressure is being brought

otherwise be crippled. In New

therefore, hat the general public
will in this instance profit by the

The Coal Strike; Meeting of the Grand
Army of the Republic.
Editor of The Progressive Farmer:

This has been u. A. h.. week IN
Washington and the veterans have
owned the city. The hotels and
streets are thronged with the survi-
vors of the Civil and Spanish Wars.
Headquarters are established on
every corner, and men in uniforms
and headed by bands march and
countermarch on every street and
avenue. Wednesday was the great
day and for many hours the old sol
diers marched up Pennsylvania Ave
nue. led in many instances by the
remnants of the bands they had fol-
lowed in '6O-65. During the early
part of the week, there was a tinge
of sadness observable, due to the fact
that the President was an invalid,
confined in his chamber and unable
to take part in any of the festivities,
but on Wednesday, he drove in the
White House carriage the entire
length of the line and back again.
It afforded everyone an opportunity
to see the President and prevented
that congestion of the crowd in the
vicinity of the reviewing stand which
is always productive Of the greatest
inconvenience and often of danger.
Mr.. Roosevelt was greeted with en-
thusiastic cheering, colors were
dipped and the soldiers saluted as
he passed down the broad avenue.
This was the first time even the res
idents of his own city had seen him
since his return from the operating
table at Indianapolis, and he looked
decidedly pale as a result of his long
confinement. No secret service men
accompanied the President. He
would not permit it, saying that he
was amply safe, practically surround
ed by the veterans and their friends
and families.
The subject of the coal strike and
the Presidents efforts to bring it to
an end continue to be the leading
subject of conversation in political
circles. 1t has been made known at
the White House that, following up
the failure of the conference of the
railway presidents and President
Mitchell, Mr.. Roosevelt communicate
ed with Mitchell offering on condi-
ton that the miners return to work
Immediately, to appoint a commits
sion to investigate the situation and
make suitable recommendations to
Congress based on the commissions
report. President Mitchell stated in
reply that he would not feel at lib
erty to take such action without con-
sulting his conferees and the latest
information is that they have deter
mined to reject the proposition. At
the same time, there is a growing
feeling that the strike will soon
come to an end. Governor Stone has
ordered the full strength Of the
Pennsylvania militia to the scene
and there is reason to believe that
order will be enforced in the coal re-
gions. That end accomplished, it be-
comes the duty of the railway presi-
