THE PLATT AMENDMENT.

Cuba lies at our doors, and whatever
affects her for good or for III affects us
also. SO much have our people felt
this that in the Plat amendment we
definitely took the ground that Cuba
must hereafter have closer political re-
lations with us than with any other
power. Thus in sense Cuba has be-
come a part of our international po-
l.tical system. This makes 1t neces-
sary that in return she should be given
some OF the benefits Of becoming part
Of our economic system. IL Is, from
our own standpoint, sighted
and mischevious policy TO fail to recog-
pize this need. Moreover, Il is UNI
worthy OF mighty and generous ma

cessful republic in history, TO refuse
to stretch out helping hand TO young

Prevalence Of Scarlet Fever Causes
Demand for Closing Schools.
From Wednesdays Daily Gazette. n
The prevalence of scarlet fever in
tile city has assumed such a stage that
much alarm is felt by parents and
they are of the opinion that the time
has arrived for prompt and stringent
measures to check further spread of
the disease. It is strongly urged on
the proper authorities that as one
very efectual step in this direction the
public schools should be closed for a
period of 10 days or two weeks, as
many of the children who are down
with the disease contracted it at the
schools. That this has not been done
before is causing great indignation in
some quarters, as it is held that while
the imparting of information to the
youth of the city is something the i'm
portance of which cannot be denied,
it is also essential that public health
should be safeguarded.
Those who advocate the clos;n, of
the schools say the time lost could be
made up by shortening the v, cati N.
or if this is considered as not feasible
the time would better be lost alto
gether than to continue to. expos, the
children in the name thee M, y wv
exposed. Scarlet fever is considered
by many as to be more dreaded than
smallpox and for that reason nothing
should be left undone to stamp on: the
disease. Unless the authorities act
OF their own volition in the matter
they are likely to receive a strong
protest against permitting things to
go on as they are going.

WEIGH ANCHOR TONIGHT.
Billings Naval Contingent Will Set
Sail for West.

1 dAP- HEm - NSSoh HEan&MN5fxE
From Wednesdays Daily Gazette.
1t has been a long and tiresome wait
ing for some OF the naval recruits en-
listed here last week by Lieutenant
Morton, but their suspense is almost
ended, for tonight they will take train
for Butte, there to join the detach-
ment enlisted at that place, thence to
leave tomorrow for Pocatello and the
west with the Mare Island navy yard
as their destination. The party is
composed of Is members, men and
boys, and r a likely looking lot.
They are, e. j. McCune, w. R.
Clark, w. F. Seek, H. Rickrich, G. e.
Potts. j. A. Krutzburg, F. H. Bird and
} D. Fleming, landsmen for training;
c. A. Powers, mess attendant, third
class; G.. Smith, J.. Van Wagner, T..
F. Morris, G. G.. Corpue and G.. H.
Ward, coal passers. Robert William
Murphy, the youngest patriot Of them
all, is mustered as apprentice and
must give his Uncle Sam a little over
four years, having enlisted until his
majority.
Strange as it may appear none Of
them has manifested any evidence of
regret and when they were given their
transportation this afternoon all seem
ed to be as eager for service as on
the day of their enlistment.

from the show case and about SO
worth of cartridges. the guns range
from 80 to as in caliIre. Two valu-
