lihoOd for his family Instead of pro-
viding for their wants, however, and
supplying them with the necessaries of
life, Quinn has been accustomed to
spending all his earnings for booze and
to allowing his wife and five children,
the youngest a baby in its mothers
arms, to suffer for clothes and food. By
reason of Quinns neglect, the children
are clothed in rags and without shoes
and the cupboard is always bare at the
home.

Among the things which Prescott ought to have is a municiptl improve ment society. There are dozens of little things about town which ought to be done. The city council either overlooks them or has too much else to look after. The business men are al- ways engaged and consequently many things of importance in municipal i'm provement are left undone.

A Tale of Woe!

Humbled Is this proud young repub-
lie. The peoples Chosen Ones. both Of
them. fell victims to unlucky Friday-a
sort Of Black Friday it was, and the
9th day OF September.
The President of the United States was
vanquished IN a tennis game with an
Englishman, and the Vice President Of the
United States was turned down as a lay
delegate to the quadrennial conference OF
the Methodist Church! To Washington
this combined undoing is a bitter, bitter
dose; not to say a cruel cruel blow!
The eagle on the Rochambeau statue
droops his head. and his usually militant
and aggressive mien has given way to an
appearance at once bedraggled and sad
TO look upon!
OF course. Loeb is 10 blame. In the
arrangement for the tennis match he un-
doubtedly bungled the job In some
fashion. His statement-which, un-
fortunately for a breatblessly expectant
public. we are not in position 10 accu-
rately forecast-will come IN time, and we
shall then know just how it was that
our President gave up the championship
ghost 10 his grace the Lord Bishop of
London, Already an unofficial claim is
made that the lord bishop lost. but we
give him the benefit Of the doubt, and re-
ject IT, 1t IS the only polite thing to
do. And. besides, II was Loebs fault
AS for the Vice President-his was
clearly a fail due to Loeb and resulting
from abandonment Of strictly butter
milk platform In favor, temporarily even
though it was. of the gladstone cocktail
Mysterious as those appeuzers were. they
turned a fateful trick against their dis
penser and wrought havoc with his ambi-
ton! Like Othello. the Vice President
might say.
Il have a very poor and unhappy brain FOR drink
ing; I could wish courtesy would invent some other
custom Of entertainment"
The answer IS. of course. Courtesy
should tender nothing stronger than but
termilk at banquets. luncheons. and
things-buttermik, frappe and freshly
churned, In spite Of Loeb.
To be sure, all Of this Is now OF the
.irrevocable and unrecalIable past! To
grieve and wiring our hands is like unto
wailing for spilled milk-spilled butter
milk! Into each life, We presume. some
rain must fall; some days must be dark
and dreary." We should, we know. seek
rather to locate the silver lining some
where attaching TO this ugly cloud than
harp upon its blackness. But it's hard
downright and indsputably hard-to face
the world with cheerful smile. and all
these heartaches throbbing our BOSOM,
It taxes the very limit OF our courage.
We do not believe we should survive
another BLACK Fridays in1y. gloomy.
and cheerless as this dispiriting thing OF
the immediate and disquieting past.

Our Cuban Problem.

An incipient revolt in Cuba, promptly
and we hope, effectuaIly suppressed by
Gov. Magoon, serves to remind US that
we have a Cuban as well as PhflippIDe
problem. We may be surprised that in
any quarter Of the world the mild rule
or American proconsuls should provoke
resentment or feed the flames of revolt.
but so It is in the volatile communities
civilized by Spain and turned over 10 US
Tor further tutelage. The fact seems less
& reflection on the quality Of American
rule than on the political instability Of
the native populations, which evidently
require, and may require for long time
10 come, the pressure Of a strong and
guiding hand.
The Cuban problem, however. is how
best and quickest TO re-establish a native
government and 10 Withdraw the Ameri-
can forces from the island. We are pro-
ceeding on the theory that our first duty
IS TO re-establish Cuban independence
Strangely enough there is strong inter-
nal opposition among the Cubans them
selves TO the accomplishment of that
duty. Numerous threats have been made
that revolts and other threatening dis
tlrbances would be engaged in for the
avowed purpose of prolonging the Ameri-
can occupation. The present revolt ap-
pears not TO have been of that order.
having its origin in the discomfort OF ne
gro politicians whose thirst for office
Gov. Magoon has been unable 70 assuage.
Nevertheless. 1t is suggestive of what
might happen, and In all probability
would happen, should the American troops
be sent home.
We have on several former occasions
pointed out that the very terms Of our
relations with Cuba encourage the revo-
luton habit. for the dissatisfied element
can at any moment bring about interven-
tion by manufacturing a sufficiently for
midable uprising The only remedy for
this consistent with the preservation of
an autonomous government is the main
