Havana, but we venture the pre-
diction that no one will be more
grateful to the Administration,
once the work is done, than the
people who will complain most
loudly now. The history of A
merican occupation of foreign
lands has been a history of clean
illness. Americans have cleaned
Manila and made it a healthful,
beautiful city, and the protests
of the people have turned to
praise. Americans have changed
the Panama canal zone and the
chief cities of Panama from pest
holes to heathful, cleanly cities
and Panama is reaping a rich re-
ward. The absolute sanitation
of Cuba will make for the wealth
and prosperity of the Republic
and the money so expended will
be returned ten-fold.

There occurred recently in
Washington a memorial service
to a Roman Catholic priest, the
late Father D. J. Stafford, in
which the principal speakers
were Rev. DR.. Van Schaik, of
the German Reformed church,
the Presidents pastor, the Rev.
Abram Simon, Rabbi of the Jew
ish Synagogue, Corporal" Tan
ner, a non-Catholic and Senator
Beveridge, also a non-Catholic,
besides a Catholic priest, the as
sistant of the deceased clergy
man. Truly the era of Christian
charity and true brotherly love
is at hand when leading men of
all denominations thus gather to
do honor to a simple Roman
priest.

Simple Butter Test.

There is Il simple test by which any
hOuSekeeper can be reasonably certain
whether she has real butter, the reno
vated article or Oleomargarine.
Put a sample Of the doubtful butter
about the size of Il small chestnut into
an ordinary tablespoon. Hold this over
a tlame-gas kerosene or alcOhol-stir-
ring the butter with Il splinter of wood
or a match rs it melts.
Bring to as brisk boil as possible
and after this has begun stir thorough
ly two or three times at intervals, espe-
cially just before the boiling ceases.
Oleomargarine and renovated butter
boil noisily with good deal of splut-
tering. They produce no foam or very
little.
Genuine butter usually boils with
less noise and produces an abundance
of foam. 1t is the difference in regard
to the foam which is most marked.

The attempt Of Senator Fora
ker to prove his charge that fed
eral patronage was being used to
effect Mr.. Taft's nomination was
as pitiable as it was futile. The
only case he was able to cite was
that of the postmaster at Ath-
ems, Ohio, who, according to
Congressman Douglas, who en-
dorsed him, had wilfully sought
to injure the President, and who
had declared that he was oppos-
ed to Mr.. Taft's nomination.
Nevertheless, the President nom-
mated him postmaster of Athens
and the Senate confirmed him on
January 7. 1t is indeed a sad
spectacle to see a man who has
enjoyed the reputation which has
been Mr.. Foraker's stoop to the
pusillanimous methods he has
this year adopted.

Cuba must do everything nec-
essary to make her cities SANTA
ry. This is the decision of the
President, Secretary Root and
Secretary Taft. The issue grew
out of a contract for sewerinp
and paving the city of Havana
which the Cubans wish to repu-
diate because of the expense,
but the Administration in Wash
ington has decided that the terms
of the contract must be carried
out. For a time there will doubt

Barley and Rye For Fowls.

Barley and rye are both excellent
foods and will prove satisfactory ad-
dition to a ration where the fowls will
eat the grains readily. says the Ameri-
can Poultry Advocate. Some focks
seem prejudiced against barley and do
not eat>,it readily. while others will
refuse rye unless starved to it. Rye is
eaten much more readily when fed in
the bundle. When the fowls can
scratch it out of the fresh straw them
selves they seem to enjoy It,

The President, at the Sugges-
ton of William Dudley Foulke,
has written letter which COM
pletely refutes the charges ban
died about in anti-Administration
circles that he was using federal
patronage to promote the nOmi-
nation of Secretary Taft. In his
opening paragraph, Mr.. RooSe-
welt says that the charges are
not only false and malicious,
but that it is the kind of accu-
SatiOn which for the next few
months will be rife" and that
when this particular slander is
exploded those who have used it
will promptly invent another".
For that reason, while yielding
to Mr.. Foulke's request that he
write the letter, Mr.. Roosevelt
seriously questions the advisable
ity of so doing, and he is right.
Theodore Roosevelt has been
president of the United States
Tor SIX years. His record is an
open book before the American
people. Those who believe in
him-and their name is legion
will not be misled by the cam
palgn lies which are being and
will continue to be circulated a.
bout him between now and next
November, particularly between
now and the Republican national
convention, in June. The issue
IS sharply defined. The Harri-
mans, the Standard Oil people,
certain railroad interests, all of
whom Mr.. Roosevelt has brand
ed as undesirable citizens, and
whose monopolistic enterprises
the President has checked, are
spending incalculable sums of
money to prevent a continuation
OF his policies and to secure the
nomination by the Republican
party of some man who, if not
IN sympathy with them, will at
least be so far indebted to them
Tor his nomination that he will
not be free to utilize the machin-
cry of the courts against them,
The anti-Administration forces
cannot attack the President with
the truth and they are forced to
employ falsehood to discredit
him and to defeat the nomination
OF the one candidate, who, if
nominated, will owe nothing to
the interests. Will the Ameri-
can people be misled by these
falsehoods? President Roosevelt
does believe that they will and
no man knows the people of this
country better.
