HELPS THE READING PUBLIC.

st. Paul Pioneer Press: An Evan
son minister pays to the newspapers
a compliment that will be we'll APP
preciated because it from one
of a class that does not always take
such a c%onsiderate view. Rev. Will
liam r. Norton, in addressing a
meeting of ministers said: IF the
newspaper does not professedly favor
religion, it never is arrayed against
religion. While it is often too %tiippant
or at least too jocular, in treating of
religious events, it eve is willfully
irreverent. Its %utterances are eve
demanding honesty in politics, purity
in home life, clean streets, smokless
chimneys, a we'll governed and a
beautiful Chicago" The modern
newspaper is the product OF modern
thought, and it we'll becomes the
clergy to take account of what is
being accomplished by the press
through watching the trend of de-
velopment and endeavoring to di-
rect it along proper lines.
DR.. Norton is correct when he
states that the press never is arrayed
against religion. A paper that
would take such a stand would fare
even worse at the hands of the peo-
, pie than would one that might pro
fessedly favor religion" The people
do not want either. Yet the newspa-
pers of the country, without any of
the insignia of moral reformers, are
accomplishing more than many who
stick to the time-honored methods
of the religious workers. Whatever
the press is doing for the uplifting
of mankind in being accomplished by
keeping abreast of the spirit of the
times. There r today tens of
thousands Of people who are trying
to be good citizens and do as nearly
as possible what is right, and yet the
appeals from the pulpit never reach
them, or reaching them, have little
effect. Yet they r unconsciously
led along the right path by the press
of the country united in a desire for
the betterment of mankind. There is
plenty for both the press and the
pulpit to do, and it is encouraging
that the work of the volunteers is
appreciated.

There is every reason to believe
that Mitchell within a year or so will
be something more of a wholesale
center than it is today. While there
are several wholesale establishments
and several distributing houses 10
Gated here at the present time, the
territory of trade relations that
Mitchell has to offer men desirous
of engaging in the wholesale business
is such that it will attract the at
tention of the wholesalers. The great
territory to the west of the river and
extending through to the Black Hills
is trade ground that belongs to this
city, and wholesale houses here CGn
handle it to the exclusion of Il
other town that now aspires to fill!
it. One class of Wholesale trade
could do exceptionally we'll. and that
is a wholesale grocery. The thous-
ands of people who are settling on
the farms and in the new towns to
the west will create a foundation for
a great business, and it is of such
magnitude at the present time as to
offer sufficient encouragement for the
field to be entered upon and broaden
ed and enlarged. Manufacturing
plants are finding their way into
Mitchell-notably the Lyle Manu-
featuring Co., which in the course of
two or three months will be sending
forth its product of agricultural i'm
Elements, and which will give the
city a wide advertisement. This Will
be enhanced to a marked degree
when the Mitchell Tile company will
be sending out its product Of cemers
blocks and tile. This company is
now building its factory over on the
south side and in the course of on
other month it will commence to
supply towns with cement tile for
sewer purposes and blocks for the
building of houses and business
buildings. The fact that these tive
industries have located here this

OLD CUBAN HISTORY.

The annexation of Cuba to the
United States has been a pet theory
of democracy for years and years,
and about every SC often some demo-
crat will attempt to bring up the sub
ject for consideration before the
house of representatives. The most
recent attempt along this line was
that started by Representative Kemp,
Of Kentucky. He presented his reso-
hutton in the house and then tried
70 have 1t called up, but when it
was discovered that the resolution
referred to the annexation of Cuba
Payne moved an adjournment, which
put an end to the situation. The
Hartford, Conn.,, Courant, in con-
nection with this annexation matter,
comments in an interesting manner
concerning the efforts that have been
made In the past ninety years to an
mex Cuba in the following article:
eff his resolution is a pro-annex-
alton resolution, MI. Helm, a young
congressman as yet, has evidently
been nurtured in the mellow Odd
democratic traditions. Thomas JEFF
ferson, the party's father, wanted
Cuba a hundred years ago and more.
On general principles he was dead
against the acquisition of Islands,
but he made Cuba the n exception.
"Cuba can be defended by us with
out a navy" he wrote to James Madi-
son in 1909. II candidly confess"
he wrote to James Monroe in 1923,
that / have ever looked on Cuba as
the most interesting addition which
could ever be made to our system
of states" AS long as the %negro-own-
ing planters were in control at Wash
ington, the annexation of Cuba was
a cherished democratic daydream
and an objective of party policy.
Fifty-five years ago, three American
ministers Observation-Disclosures Blu
chanan, John Y. Mason and Pierre
Soule-conferred about it at Ostend
and AK la Chapelle by direction of
President Franklin Pierce. They put
on paper, and signed their m to
1t, the opinion that if Spain obsi-
nately refused to sell the island the
United States should "wrest" the
island from Spain's possession-an
opinion which the republican nation
al convention of 1856 denounced as
worthy of highwaymen and " in every
way unworthy Of American diploma
cy." Almost on the eve of Secession,
John Slidell was still gravely arguing
in the Senate this question of Cuban
annexation. The democratic congress
man from Kentucky has set foot In
an ancient path.
"Of course nothing will come OF
his resolution at present. For the
present, Cuba with the Plat amend
ment attached) will be left to the en-
joyment of such Independence as she
has and such self-government as
she's equal to. Our own opinion as to
the inevitable outcome is pretty we'll
known to the readers of THE Cou-
rant" Why Mr.. Helm or any II else
should wish ito hasten the evil day is
beyond u.s."
