The increased use OF whiskey for

into half pint OF good whiskey. Shake

after each meal and at bed time" 4"

The Names Explosion.

The report of General Bixby, chief
of the army engineers, that the battle
ship Names loss was due in his judy
ment of magazine explosions from
within and that such explosions could
not have been from without, will
create little surprise, for the theory
has been long advanced and upheld.
Many men, among them Speaker
Thomas B. Reed, took the view at the
time of the disaster that it was due
TO our own carelessness and not Span
ish perfdy. It might be stated, how
ever, that General Bixby's report as
published has nothing to say on the
subject Of responsibility.
It can make no practical difference
now whether perfidious enemies of
this nation had anything to do with
the blowing up of the Maine or not.
The war that ensued was inevitable
II may well be assumed. Conditions
leading up to hostilities by no means
originated in the tragedy of Havana
harbor. That may have precipitated
the war. but it did not cause 1t. It is
proftless, therefore. for Americans or
others to weigh feathers today as to
the exact influence of the Names de-
struction on the declaration of war.
One thing the world knows-the
results Of the war in Cuba have been
humanitarian and unselflsh enough,
undoubtedly, to Justify our resort to
arms. Spanish rule in Cuba had be-
come intolerable and needed to be put
down. In putting It down the United
States sought to gain no undue advan-
tage over the Cubans, but simply to
take a position where It might exer-
else the power Of protectorate to
aid crushed people to rise. That 1t
| has done.
