Will Soon Leave for CUBE.

Il - u /.
DR.. Crokat in a few days ex-
poets to leave for Cuba and the
Isle Of Pines, that beautiful little
island south of Cuba, where in
company with his wife he will
spend the winter. The doctor
has been in correspondence with
several companies for sometime,
and has about concluded to buy
a tract OF land on the Isle Of
Pines.
Land there is yet quite cheap
but likely to advance in price to
5000 AN acre before many moons.
Over two thousand Americans
now reside on that Island and
they are asking this government
to recognize the Island as one Of
the possessions Of Uncle Sam.
The climate there is ideal, es.
pecially when we have winter,
for frost is unknown. There is
no yellow fever, no hurricanes,
and the altitude ranges from sea
level to 1000 feet above. Orang-
es, bananas, cocoanuts, coffee,
cotton, cocoa beans, tobacco.
pineapples and other tropical
fruits and plants abound. The
orange grower rapidly grows
wealthy. The weather is just
right to take away this northern
ambition one gets, from trying
to keep warm, and it's the finest
place in the whole world to spend
the winter. The sea breezes, the
sails on the ocean, the hunting
all go to make up an ideal place
for the man who wants a rest.
The Island is butterfly miles long
and thirty wide and the train
can be made from Minot in four
and half days.
1T is more than likely that a
colony from Minot will purchase
land there and spend their whit
ers on the tropical island.

IN A oUANDARY.

The Republican ticket for the
legislative and county offices stand
squarely for tax reform and the up.
holding of the present system OF
taxation. They are men who wall
represent the people as a whole.
They are not dodgers in any sense
and are not subject to somersaults
like their Democratic friends IN
convention. They are all men OF
high character and unquestioned
integrity. They are loyal Repuo-
licans and believe in those princI--
pies as expounded by President
Roosevelt and the other great lead
crs of the greatest political party
the world has ever known. They
are in no quandary as some would
have the public believe. They
came out squarely for nomination
and the voters knew them before
they cast their votes.
On the part Of Democracy 1t Is
not true that the voters had the
slightest hand in the selection of
the legislative and county ticket of
that party. 1t was done by few
of that party, who themselves had
not been long familiar with the
fact these men were to be chosen.
Certainly then from the real situa-
ton 1t is a quandary with the DEM
ocratic candidates as to whic hway
TO turn and what TO do. hey
hesitate in concluding that the
Democratic masses are for them.
They have nothing on which to base
the claim that the masses OF their
party are for them for the reason
there has been no test of the mat
ter, because the masses were not
given an opportunity to express
themselves or to- have part in the
selection of ticket. Indeed, the
masses we're not permitted to even
indicate their choice.

RILEYss TAXES.

Democrats themselves are great
lv impressed with the fact that
their candidate for Congress in the
First congressional district has been
benefited by the new tax laws. even
to the extent of one hundred and
twenty dollars in two years in the
matter of lower taxation.
1t is conceded on every hand that
Hon. w. p. Hubbard, his oppon-
emit, very materially, aided in bring
ing about the Rew tax system, lie
stood Tor the adoption of that prin-
eiple in the Republican platform
and was highly successful. Then
he COMMUNICATION their adoption by
the people at the polls, and after
This he aided in framing the laws.
To him is considerable credit due
Tor these new laws and he IS per-
fectlv willing to be held RESPONSE
bic for them.
Mr.. Riley's big saving is not
notable case at all as there are
thousands upon thousands Just like
e but is made prominent because
of the fact that Mr.. Riley IS rum
inc against Mr. Hubbard for Con-
press. That makes it appear that
Riley is DESTROYS of defeating hlm,
tbonoh he may not be endeayoring
vnrv much to do so. Instead OF
being DESTROYS of defeating Mr..
Hubbard. the Democratic nominee
for Congress ought to be dIllgently
