NEED COURAGEOUS LEADERS.

What the Republican party in this state needs
most is not so much candidate for United States
senator leaders who have the courage of their
convictions. Anyone who has Republican friends
who will talk plainly knows that the present condi
ton in the Republican ranks is due to political
cowardice.
In order to carry the party and to keep the
offices most of those who should be leaders, or at
least in position to force the carrying out of
tain reforms, that no one of any sense denies are
necessary, are silenced The one thing that the
machine wants is barrel that is within reach all of
the time. 1t will not listen to those who that
with good candidates and decent policies the need
of money might be greatly diminished.
Those who hold the offices, and their friends,
have constantly drilled into them that thinking is
no part of the political game in Rhode Island Some
of these officeholders deem it personal insult
when anyone outside of their circle demands that
the rights of corporations or the machine shall be
considered after the rights of the people whole
But if one asks some of the men not in office what
they think of conditions in the Republican party,
they will tell you plain men they think them bad
Now the Republicans do not always put political
hacks in office, it is true but it seldom does put
man in place of trust who has the reputation of
being who thinks for himself. The citizen
of Rhode Island has good reason, when he looks
closely into conditions here, to blush somewhat
for the manhood of his state.
Political parties pretty evenly divided, it is
true and when half the electorate of the state
is willing to be led by men simply on the lookout
to retain their offices, something is lacking in the
political training of the generation. When men
thoroughly familiar with these conditions and with
large personal following go to the trouble of
forming political league and have not the courage
true and when one-half the electorate of the state
something must be wrong. Parties are but means
to end.
The great body of the electorate is interested,
and vitality interested, in representative govern
ment.. Those most devoted to the study of govern
ment do not deny that while there faults in all
to put forward plank that of self-interest
systems, and errors may creep in in management
that there are two sides to the proposition that
the best government is that with the broadest foun
dation, namely, representative government. The
league recently formed does not state its position
on this fundamental proposition No Republican
of standing dare say that the people of Rhode Island
cannot be trusted and no Republican dare not act
as if he did not so believe.
1t is time that the electors of the small towns,
as well as of the larger who are not in the office
holding class, ceased to be pawns for leaders who
do not lead; of men who are political cowards and
joined forces with the Independents and Democrats
who believe in principles and who dare boldly say
what is the matter with the state and to lead on the
pathway to the new dawn

GROWTH OF CUBA
MOST REMARKABLE
Great Fertility Of Soil and
Excellent Climate Con-
duCiVe to Production.

During the last few years no country
has come to the front with such rapid
strides Of development as the Island of
Cuba.
People from all over the world have
gone there TO engage mainly in agricul.
tural and horticultural pursuits, being
attracted by the great fertility Of the
soil and its wonderful productive pow
ers, the climate being favorable to pro-
ducing from two or three crops during
the year.
On account Of The absence of all dan
ger from frost, Cuba is coming to the
front as the foremost fruit and vege
table country ia the Western hemis-
phere, and will practically supply the
American market in a few years with
lemons, pineapples, grapefruit. and or
anges. as well as all other fruit of the
citrus family.
The mineral interest Of Cuba is also
being developed at a wonderful rate.

There have been more than S50O,O990O0

years BY Americans, Canadians, Eng

Few If any equals in the state. He is
native Of Anderson county and

here that because Of his wide acm,ain-

are about ready to begin operations
and sometime before The year is out

The laboratory at Chicago has been
enlarged four or five times. II will
be the great central laboratory of the
