THEY SEND FOR THEIR WIVES
Taft and Bacon Still Further Please
the Cubans Thereby.

Following the university exercises it
became known that Governor Taft and
Assistant Secretary of State Bacon had
cabled for their wives to join them
here, step which cannot but be most
agreeable to the Cuban people. and
which will strongly cement the bonds
of affection between them and the
United States provisional administra-
ticn. Still another act of Governor
Taft is warmly commended as illus
trative Of his thoughtful consideration
Of the humber classes. Learning that
many poor families occupying the
temporarily diSused barracks at Camp
Columbia were about to he summarily
eviCted by order of the Cuban authori-
ties, in preparation of the occupation
of the quarters by the brigade of ma
rineS, Governor Taft directed that
these people remain undisturbed in
their homes for period of fifteen
days.
The news Of this act Of humanity
spread rapidly. and received the high
est praise. These evidences of good
have earned such general favora-
bic comment that the landing of the
battalion of marines which will con-
stitute the garrison here caused hard
~ a ripple of excitement
Much of the governors time was
occupied in receiving officials of the
various departments and judges of the
courts. With the members of the SUI
preme court Governor Taft held Il pro-
longed conference concerning the
drafting of proclamation of general
amnesty. This decree is Of the most
Importance, in view of the fact that
at many points on the island, notably
Cienfuegos, many persons are in Jail,
awaiting the disposition of political
charges

TO the effect that if head Of a state

wants to be reinstated.
The opinion is important, as it affects
1000 state employees under civil serv-

tions are not required to file state
ments of their reasons for discharging

you know what you want; the

it. Don't be surprised, though,
if you are offered something
else. Wines, cordials, extracts,
etc., of cod liver oil are pIenti-
full but don't Imagine you are
getting cod liver oil when you
take them. Every year for thirty
years we've been increasing

Why? Because It has always
been better than any substitute
