Big Bills for Cuba.

Official estimates indicate that the
cost of the American military occupa
ton of Cuba will not be less than -four
millions of dollars by July 1, when thl
present fiscal year expires. AS the
revenues of the island exceed $4,000.
coo monthly on the average, there is
not likely TO be any shortage of funds
to defray this charge.
This, however, is not the most diff
cult feature of the situation. What
warrant can be afforded for the belief
that the United States can safely with
draw from Cuba six months hence
with the assurance that IT'S people can
be trusted to conduct their own af-
fairs in a peaceful and orderly man
ner. The equity of expecting the Gu
ban treasury to meet necessary eXpen-
ditures on the part of this country
when these are incurred to preserve
Cuba from riot. the destruction of
property and the Tavages of internal
war seems plain enough TO most Amer
leans. Will it be equally manifest to
the Cubans themselves?
The problem presented is one that
promises to tax to the utmost what
ever skill Secretary Taft may possess
as an all around pacificator and adj
juster of differences with the wards OF
the United States.

Millions Spent TO
Make Clean Beer
Cleanest Manufacturing Process Is
That of An American Brewery.

We regard beer as n food and the
business or brewing beer one of our
most important industries. When we
tell our readers that without exception
so absolutely clean in its process of
manufacture as Pabst, we speak from
exact knowledge of conditions. The
monster Pabst Brewery at Milwaukee
dollars and many OF those millions
have been expended to make the Pabst
exclusive process absolutely clean.
PabSt Beer stands alone today, the only
food product that from the beginning
to the end of it's manufacture is abso-
lutely beyond reach of even the con-
Eliminating germs of the air.
Doctors boil their instruments in
water to Sterilize them. Pabst boils
his brew in closed kettles and thus
hermetically sealed tanks where it
is fermented. Then through more
sterilized pipes it goes to sterilized
Dramatically, sealed storage tanks
and when bottled it is pasteurized.
Throughout the entire process it never
is touched by human hands and comes
in contact only with sterilized air.
This process of manufacture is the
exclusive Pabst method. 1t is one rea-
the best" reputation of Pabst Beer.
The cleanest beer and the richest
beer, Pabst Beer has no equal as a
mild, healthful beverage. 1t is brewed
only from Pabst eight-day malt,
choicest hops and pure water Pabst
tains all the food qualities of the finest
barley in predigested FORM 1t is this
high food value and the Pabst eXclu-
Sive process of brewing and thoroughly
aging the beer. that gives Pabst beer it's
rich, mellow flavor. its refreshing zest.

100000 in interest and dividends. The
disbursement of this vast sum of mon
| ey would have been as incomprehensi
BILE to the people of a century ago as
would the spectacle of the steam horse
which will be racing today across Fer
dinand Wis isthmus. The money
which New York is paying out for the
earnings of a small part of the people
of the United States for a part Of a
year is larger sum than that which
would have represented the entire
available real and personal property
in the United States when Franklin,
Samuel Adams and Patrick Henry and
their associates were beginning to lay
the foundations of the United States
government There are enthusiasts on
both sides of the Atlantic who take
literally Santos Dumonts prediction
that the day is very close to us when
automobiles of the air will be as plen-
tiful as those of the land are now.
Some of the political possibilities
which greet us at the opening of 1907
are as striking as are the possibilities
of science. What viii be the outcome
of the assault by President Roosevelt
on the negro soldier question? The
man in the White house has been as
skillful in turning apparent defeat into
victories as Bonaparte was at Maren-
go, or as Sheridan was at Cedar Creek
as the country saw in the contest in
congress in 1906 on meat inspection
and railroad rate regulation. But the
combination against him on the pres
ent issue is stronger than it was on
these questions. Will this chieftain
who has won a long succession of Aus
terlitzes now be hit by Waterloo?
Taft on the republican side and Bryan
on the democratic have Just said that
they would accept . call to the presi-
dency if the call is loud enough What
answer will Taft's personal enemies
who are seeking the presidency and
his personal rivals who are seeking it
make to this announcement? Hearst's
response to Bryan's challenge comes in
the shape of the organization of n
Hearst party in Indiana, which is i'm
TO be spread over all the
other states And the beginning of
the election of delegates who will
choose the nominees is only a little
over II months away. VIII the radi-
calism and TevOlutionism of the cars
dead douma talk in the douma which
is soon to confront the car? The spec
tacle of steam horses speeding across
BalbOa's and COrteZ's isthmus and of
national assemblies in Russia, living or
dead would have been as amazing to
Franklin and his contemporaries as
the marvels which Brobdingnag opened |
to the eyes of Lemuel CULVER.

Representative Stapels of Atchison
county has offered a resolution in the
Missouri assembly setting forth in de-
tail the good qualities of the Missouri
mule. providing that the state coat of
arms be revived and suggesting that
instead OF the two bears now shown
on the emblem, two Missouri mules be
substituted. Mr.. Stapels points out
that in the past 10 years the mule has
won renown on many battle fields and
that the animal has fully earned the
distinction proposed.

What Will 1907 FELL Us?

When, on his death bed, Benjamin
Franklin said he would like to come TO
life a hundred years later. so as to see
the changes which time would bring,
he was talking to leisurely age. We
do things quickly today. More things
in consequence in the social and polit-
zeal world would take place in a week
than did in a year then. PERHAPS in
one point of comparison a century ago
has something to say for itself. Not
even William H., the mikado or Pres
ident Roosevelt is shifting national
boundary lines so swiftly or tumultu-
ousIy in 1907 as Bonaparte was keep
ing Europe's map makers busy. Only
a little over a year ago the mikado
swung his boundaries outward so as
to take in Manchuria and Korea, and
if there is any truth in the tales which
some of Europe's gossips tell us, he is
preparing now TO gather the Philip
pines and Hawaii in. We saw, about
forty years ago, the two little Boer re-
publics painted a British red on At
rica's map And in the canvass which
is now raging in Germany to elect a
new reichstag TO take the place of the
one which the kaiser recently turned
out of doors, a large portion of the
German electorate are working their
country. out of Africa, and let the black
man bear his own burdens. Possibly
before another New Years day appears
Cuba will be as permanently and Off
cially under the stars and stripes as
is Oklahoma or New York.
But it is in other fields than that of
political map making that the world
of today surpasses that of the age of
Franklin, George III. and Bonaparte.
Mexico has opened its railroad across
the Tehauntepec isthmus. and a dream
of short cut between the worlds two
big oceans which has been dreamed of
by every generation since Balboa and
Cortez, will become fact. In New York

Both Mr.. Srnathers and Mr.. Billings

he had made offers for the drugging of
Lou Dillon were untrue.
He denied absolutely the story told
by Ed Saunders, his former trainer,
who said that Smathers had instructed
him to find out if it was possible to
have Lou Dillon beaten in the race and
that when he replied that he could
have it done for $40. 900 Smathers replied
that he would not pay more than $4,000.
Mr. Billings testified that his mare
seemed to be in proper condition until
the quarter post, but when he touched
her with the whip she did not respond,
as was her habit, but began to die
down. He denied positively that he told
any one o. the day of the race that his
mare was Sick and had been for several
days.
When he left the stand the defense
called Mr.. Hammond, who testified
that when Mr. Billings dismounted
from the wagon after the race he had
said that the mare had been sick for
several days.

HONEY MELODY
COMES FOR TWIN
WILL ENDEAV0R TO TROUNCE
MIKE
Entitled to the WeIterweight Cham
pionship Because of His
Victory Over Joe
Walcott

"Honey" Melody, welterweight cham
pion, arrived in Los Angeles last night
to start training for his battle with
Mike (Twin) Sullivan, which is to oc-
cur before the Pacific Athletic club.
Melody is a husky looking boy and
is evidently out with determination
to put Mike down peg. Honey"
is probably entitled to the welterweight
championship, as he twice defeated Joe
Walcott, the Barbados demon. Willie
Fitzgerald also went down to defeat
twice before the newcomer, each in
stance being practically a knockout
Both Melody and Sullivan are grad
yates of the Boston Athletic club and
no doubt the honor of their home town
will be strongly upheld when they
climb between the ropes.
