President Palma and the members Of
the cabinet was long and carefully and
automatically worded, with the in
tention of arousing the Cuban Rresi-
dents cooperation in a settlement on
the terms suggested. through appeal
ing TO his patriotism. But Palma
could see but one point in the terms
for the Moderates, and that was for
him TO remain as presidential the
other points were the rebel demands

ing to Palma's view.
Governor Nunez. of the province Of
Havana, speaking as u business man
as we'll as a political leader, said to
The Associated Press that he would
welcome United States intervention
provided the United States actually
took control, but if they established
Liberals or rebels in control he would
liquidate not only his personal bust
ness in Cuba but that of all the United
States capital he represented and leave
/ the country. This desire for full United
States control is re-echoed unanimous

tiles
Washington. Sept 26-Up to Mon
day the preparations for trouble which
may come about in Cuba have been
largely carried on by the navy, which
/ is ready FOR anything, but the army is
now sharing the activity of the navy
! department, and is ready for the rapid
movements of troops to any point
where they may be needed. In fact
both army and navy are ready for any
service likely to be required of them.

Home For the Friendless.

Isn't there a fine chance for adven-
turous spirits to capture some small
but exceedingly tight island and pro-
vide on it a home for embezzlers who
are having a hard time these days to
get some country to adopt them that
doesn't have extradition laws patrol
ling the borders looking for suspicious
characters with fat rolls bullying out
their hip pockets?
AS these rotund crooks usually carry
away large enough wads to enable
them to pay big board bills the venture
should be profitable one. They could
sit there in the balmy breeze, under a
rented vine and fig tree, and embezzle
against each other to their hearts
content and not get heart failure every
time they saw sail looming up on
the horizon. Those who have never
looted a bank or played the races with
a trust fund little know the crying
need there is for such a haven of ref
uge.

Miss Foster, Labor Inspector.

Next winter the New York legisla-
ture will be urged to establish an eight
hour working day for children employ
ed in factories. At present New York
permits children to stand over ma
chimes nine hours q day. Last year
Miss Lily F. Foster. factory Inspector
investigated child labor conditions
throughout the state and found them
deplorable. The present child labor
law is defective enough, but Miss Eos
ter found even 1T constantly violated
At her approach she frequently saw
little children hustled into closets and
even thrust into barrels to hide them
so she should not see them and report
that they were too young to work
Many time. too. she has watched IA
theirs on pay day take children's mon
ey from them and make a bee line to

His Son. a Thief

Attica Ind, Sept. 26.-George WASH
ington Glover, twenty-five years ago
one of the wealthiest men in the coun-
ty, died in the county infrmary. He
was ninety years old In his early
manhood he was active in politics, but
he also made money rapidly and took
care of it. He was conspicuous in
every movement looking to the better
ment of social conditions. This
changed, however. when his son who
was trustee Of Mill township, was con-
victed Of embezzling public funds.
The senior Glover mortgaged his
farm to raise money with which to de-
fend his son, and he exhausted his
ready means to the same end He
failed to redeem the mortgage and
lost his farm, after which he engaged
in merchandising at Kingman This
also proved q losing venture. After
mis- son was released from prison he
went west and was never again heard
of. The old man was stricken with
paralysis. and his wife died, and find
ing himself ut the end Of his resources
the senior Glover became an inmate

The energetic. talented Chileans have
long been called the Yankees of South
America, and Chilean women. too, are
becoming as emancipated as their
northern sisters. Eight years ago
Blanca Hillman, a dark eyed Chilean
girl, quite young, but large, strong
and handsome, came TO the States TO
be educated. After taking literary
and scholastic course she entered the
Woman's Medical college Of Philadel-
phia. being graduated in 1905. Her
mind was so vigorous and brilliant

Some years ago a Massachusetts girl,
Elizabeth S. Cotton, went to Paris to
study singing. She had q noble voice
and high aspiration. She worked faith
fully. A brilliant career was already
III her grasp when suddenly a throat
ailment seized her and destroyed her
singing voice forever. Overwhelmed
with disappointment, to distract her
mind she began the study of oriental
languages and literature. She taught
IN a girls school awhile. then went TO
Berlin and studied with the most IA
nous and learned oriental scholars in
the world, being usually the only wo-
man in her classes. She stayed in Ber-
lin till she became acquainted with
forty different languages.

President Palma has called a spe-

Capote. The Moderates, however, will
not attend that session of congress,
for in a hurriedly-called national Mod

will not even attend the approaching
session or have anything more to do
with the government of Cuba, alleging
that they have been unjustly treated
by President Roosevelt's commission

Humor Gua Philosophy
THE MAIN QUESTION.
By DUNCAN N. SMITH

In the pleasant autumn weather,
When the leaves begin TO glow
And the forest looks as brilliant
AS the lady in the show,
Sweetly We commune with nature.
Feeding on her wealth our soul
AS we wonder how in thunder
We can buy our winters coal.
In a mass Of gold and yellow
Hang the leaves upon the trees
Or to earthward softly hutter
On the light. impulsive breeze
As we view the living poem.
Done in smooth. artistic rhyme
It's distressing to be guessing
Can we buy our coal on time.
In the fastness OF the forest
Is q mass OF color blurred
That one couldn't catch on canvas,
Though the artist was a bird.
Far from noisy haunts of commerce,
From the grim and smoky town.
But the haunting thought keeps
Haunting
VIII the coal go up or down?
Brown and yellow blend with crimson
And the treetops are aflame.
In a brilliant conflagratlon
Putting fireworks TO shame,
But tho waste seems almost sinful
AS the leaves begin to turn.
For the falling year is calling
For substantial coal to burn.

Comeliness is next to goodness.

If the Lord needs any counsel we
know lots of people who are willing
and feel competent to supply him.
The power OF small things depends
largely upon their location.
a grain of sand upon the seashore IS
insignificant, but when it whips into
your eye it commands your undivided
attention.
Your own glory may look like an
everyday affair to the rest of man

The lazy man is waiting hopefully

To label the truth as the truth Is

Havana Sept. 26-The Cuban repub-
lie stands on the verge of a more Wig
orous period of United States interven-
ton. The Moderate party, which six
weeks ago was in absolute control Of
every office in the island-national,
provincial and municipal-is deter
mined to abdcate everything and
compel the United States TO
further intervene In fact, every
government official, from Presi-
dent Palma down, is sincerely
anxious to force such Intervention
rather than yield to any one of the
terms offered by the Liberal party and
those in arms against the government.
The terms were practically all the
rebels have been contending for.
No Peace In the Outlook.
The Liberal leaders characterize the
conduct of the government as treason
to the republic, while Secretary of War
| Taft regards it as an unwarranted and
! dishonorable attempt to force the hand
! of the United States into further inter
vention. This, it has been stated, is
precisely what the Roosevelt admins
4 tration has been most anxious to avoid.
1t is still just barely possible that
President Roosevelt, through Taft and
Bacon. may yet arrange to establish
the Liberals in control Of the Cuban
government, but this is regarded only
as the remotest sort of possibility.

there would still remain condition Of
deplorable dissatisfaction and unrest,
and there appears nothing whatever to
promise relief save full control by
the United States.

The governing principle of every mans
life should be truth. 1t is the founda-
ton stone of the castle of happiness, and
the soothing pillow of peaceful dreams
at night. What sweeter consolation can
come to any heart than the inner con-
seriousness that its pulsations beat Tor
truth? What healing balm is dearer
than the thought that ones life is loyal
to truth? 1t may often happen that
fiction may do good, but we can but
wish its use were never demanded. The
best thought that can come from untruth
is that it may "adorn tale or point
moral" Men know truth, but follow It's
dictates all too poorly. 1t travels along
a road where there are few to follow, but
its pathway is always CLEAN OF light.

Progress in Fort Lee.

Our older neighbor, Fort Lee, although
past the century mark in point of age,
is beginning to awaken to its interests,
and is showing such signs of activity
that indicate progress of the right sort.
During the present year more buildings
have gone up in the town of Fort Lee
than for many years past, and the cltl-
zens are awake to the demands of the
times. We understand that movement
is on foot to put in system of sewers,
something which has long been wanted
This is only one of the many signs OF
enterprise. 1t is also proposed to erect
a handsome marble monument to COM
memorate the Battle of Fort Lee, a cut
of which is herewith presented. The
design represents Continental soldier
scaling the Palisades, with drummer
boy on watch for the enemy. The statue
is by noted sculptor, and is both spir-
tied in the action depicted, as well as
graceful in design. We desire to offer
our congratulations to the town, and
hope that the unwilling ceremonies OF
this beautiful reminder of American
valor may not be long deferred.
