The Fate of Cuba.

Cuba must eventually become a
part of the territory of the United
States. The only question is, How
shall we go about it to obtain her?
Shall we wait until it is evident that
she is to become the prey of another
before we intervene? Will it be pos
sible that the Cubans themselves may
shortly come to realize their own
weakness and make due application
for annexation as Hawaii did? This
is by all odds the preferable way of
acquiring the island: but its people
may never reach the point OF wiling
ness necessary for them to take the
initiative, or the people of this coun-
try might be in the hands of con-
gress unwilling, for reasons of politi-
cal exigency, to accept the proffer.
AS a last resort the time may come
when the United States might feel
impelled to annex Cuba by the right
of conquest, but such a method and
such a motive would be deplored by
every honest friend of both countries.
To the friends as we'll as to the
enemies of both, however, it must be
evident that the rich, productive, and
pugnacious little island can keep up
the struggle within itself for only a
short while longer, and that in the
end it is bound to find political peace
and freedom at least as a part of the
United States-Washingto Post.

EVOLUTIONARY TREE PLANT
ING.

1t has always been supposed that
in the planting of fruit and other
trees It was necessary, for best re-
suits, to dig a large hole, carefully
spread out the roots, cover them
with fine, rich soil, etc. But we are
finding out nowadays that many
time-honored methods of husbandry
are not scientific, and in this case
DR.. Pickering, the eminent English
expert who is at the head of the
Woburn experiment station, comes
out with the statement that this
sedulous care in the planting of
trees is work wasted and more All
that is necessary, he says, is to
gather the roots of the tree into a
sort of ball, plunge them into a
hole just large enough to hold them,
and ram the natural earth firmly
around the ball of roots, without
taking any great amount of pains.
In so per cent of cases this method
gave better results than the old.
The old roots, it appears, are of lit
tie use to the tree, as it is the new
ones thrown out in the new loca-
ton, that do the good

HERE'S A WAY TO SAVE DOCTOR
BILLS

Physicians Give Free Advice by
Which Parents May Profit.
It's matter of general interest just
now how ones physical condition can
be got into shape to best receive the
benefits of the summer season. Espe-
cally is this true of the children They
have become run down by a winter of
unnatural manner of living because of
ill-considered food and much time
spent indoors. Spring comes with its
sunshine, its fresh vegetables and all
else invigorating, but the children are
in no condition to receive natures
remedies.
Many parents call in the family
| physician Many other parents take
advantage of what the physician toll
them when he was first called in con-
sultation. All good family physicians
say: Give the children Castoria."
Healthy parents know this remedy of
old, for they took it themselves as
children. 1t was more than thirty
years ago that Castoria made place
for itself in the household. 1t bore
the signature of Charles H. Fletcher
then as it does to-day. The signature
is it's guarantee, which is accepted in
thousands of homes where there are
children.
Much is printed nowadays about big
families. Dr. William j. McCrann, OF
Omaha, Neb., is the father of one of
these much-read-about families. Here
is what he says:

physicians who have the same esteem
for Castoria that DR.. McCrann has.
Not only do these physicians say they
use Castoria in their own families,

THE COW AND THE BULL Pip

TIE COW AND THE BULL PUP.
Louisville Courier Journal The
Washington Herald is at great pains
to belittle the foolish talk about a
breach between the incoming and
outgoing executives 1t admits. and
rejoices at, a difference of atmo-
sphere, a temperamental diversity. a
change OF tone; but it declares that
to Orient the situation" in any other
direction works manifest Injustice
to both the august personages. 1t
continues
Mr.. Taft owns a COW instead of a
bull pup; he plays golf instead of
walking out in the rain; he eats an
apple for lunch; he is shaved by his
valet; he is going to try and get
along harmoniously with Congress: .
he won't flourish the big stick; his
messages will be short-what a vast
and grateful improvement on the
late regimei
These points of divergence are
radical without being revolutionary;
they do not necessarily imply re-
quotation of "my policies" neither
do they indicate much more than a
gratifying determination on the part
of Mr.. Taft to see through his own
spectacles and to be his own man.
The distinction lies neither in
fundamentals nor in principles-rath-
er in angle of vision and in trend
of mind. Opposition affected the
one as with a destroying Berserker
rage; he was all for violence and
noise when crossed; the other will
be more placid but just as unbend-
ing, given to compromise in nom
essentials only
And be it remembered that both
Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Roosevelt are party
men and, more emphatically, party
leaders; f1irt they never so sedu-
lousy with this democrat or that,
with this democratic plank or that,
they will never forget that they are
responsible as well to the party that
gave them power as to the people
over whom they reside Nor will
that party suffer them to forget it
as indeed why should it? Caves
of Adullam have never Jared well,
in the republican party, and regu-
larity is a mantle more comprehen-
sible than many charities.
Mr. Taft is chief vice Mr.. Roose-
welt, promoted to a private station.
They have more in common by that
tie than many will allow, and if
one keeps a COW where the other
stabbed bull pup, why should he
motif he can afford it?
