en- and whose sons and daughters
we're Cavaliers first people, is
proud of her Eve and the progeny,
large proportion of whom are
connected by ties Of blood and
friendship, with Pembina county
people. Cavalier county is more
than a neighbor-she is a blood re-

see her grow, not only politically,
but in all that an apportionment
of that size necessarily implies.

treated during the year were l9l,
only seven failed to recover, and
that included three incurable pa

only 2.48 per cent of the actual

CUBAN reciprocity failed and a
lot of large American business
firms are leaving the island like
rails deserving sinking ship. The
meaning lies on the surface. 1t
was not Chba they we're there to
help, but themselves. The big end
of the profit of Cuban trade is not
for the Cubans, but for Americans.
The failure of reciprocity means q
far heavier money loss for business
men of this country than for
those of Cuba But Cuba has
little to lose. Her production
was paralyzed, her trade destroyed
and her finances bankrupted by
the long war American firms like
the Swifts and Armours can re-
linquish Cuban trade without pain
| full loss to themselves, but to Cuba
this REIMBURSEMENT means starva-
ton and coercion, The sugar
trust has had its inning, the fail
ure Of reciprocity is on the score
to its credit. But the other trusts
have come to bat and their play
will now be for annexation. Star
walton is to be the method. It il
usually an effective one.

at half the legal rate, he would be the
try editors are rich, but they are of
more service to the communities where
they live than the wealthiest man.
They are in the forefront of every
movement for progress. They do the
work and leave the emoluments to
others. A good, clean, honest news
paper-and most country papers are
good and clean and honest-helps on
every worthy cause and deserves every
encouragement. 1t fights the party
battles, holds up the hands of the re-
former and makes the scoundrel afraid.

my county would print the ballot at
