have been far easier to slip back into the
old ways or to seek honest work under
a new name in some distant state OF
country.
Frank Starr was not looking for an easy
job. His whole heart was afiame with a
desire to help those who had suffered as
he had suffered; to lead men cut Of the
darkness Of w~rongdoing into the light Of
right living.
He made no noise as he went along.
He shouted no message from high places,
nor ever boosted Of what he was doing.
Quietly, so quietly that to tens of thou
sands in his home city the news Of his
death was he first news they ever had
of him, he worked with the human
wrecks cast UP on the friendly shores Of
the little harbor of hope, supervised by
him, and financed by a few men who felt
1t a privilege to invest some share of their
earnings in bettered lives.
In the years of his service $500 such
wrecks came into that harbor, and OF this
number more thar 90 per cent We're reft-
ted for the journey and today are living
honest lives Of useful service.
Nothing that can be said will add to
the hneness Of his life. The c~ostliest
largest of monuments would seem small
beside a record Of SO many lives turned
back into hannels Of good citizenship
and righteous living.
But 1t Is well for many a man and
woman to ponder the life of Frank Starr.
It Is we'll for those who feel that their
iives nave been failures to gain from this
life encouragement and fortitude.
Such a life is a blessing to any COM
munity and a guiding light for all who
VIII ever come to know it.

The wheat acreage in North Dakota
is about 1 per cent under normal, ac-
cording to Director Thomas Cooper
of the North Dakota Better Farming
association. He bases his statement
on reports received in his Office from
the various counties, nearly twenty in
number in which the farming associa.
ton has experts. He said:
"The decrease in the wheat acreage
probably will be about 100000 acres
all told, making the total acreage in
the state about 100000 or perhaps
100000. The normal acreage is
about 100000.
"The entire grain acreage in the
state is about normal and I do not be-
lieve there is any increase. While it
it is true in the western portion of
the state there has been an increase
in the acreage this increase has been
offset by reduced acreage in other dis
tricts, where there was too much
moisture and the spring wheat was de-
layed. This condition was particularly
true in the northern tier of counties.
"The land which was not seeded
will, in most instances, be fallowed,
so that benefits will be derived to the
farmers"
"There has been a noticeable in.
crease in the acreage of oats and bar
ley in practically every section of the
state"

KEEPING CLOSE
WATCH ON CUBA
United States Prepared to Act
If Gomez Falls.
NAVAL FORCE IN READINESS
II Depredations by Rebels Continue
Marines VIII Be Sent Ashore to
Protect American Interests.

Washington, June 1.-The arrival of
General Monteagudo at the front as
the commander-in-chief of the Cuban
federal forces is being closely watched
here. Should the rebel bands continue
to attack foreign property it is posi-
BILE the United States will send a fleet
of small vessels to various points Dor
dering on the rebel zones to have ma
rines on hand for immediate action.
The fact that the rebel leaders in
the present revolution are giving re-
ceipts for property taken in the name
of Estenoz is believed here to indi-
cate that the movement is an organized
and an earnest one.
In army circles the failure of the
Cuban federal force to make any head
way against the rebels is believed to
be due to the fact that the government
forces have been compelled to place
themselves on the defensive by at
tempting to furnish small d~etachments
to many foreign properties which are
demanding protection.
Guarding American Property.
Positive assurances have been re-
ceived from the Cuban government
that a force of Cuban troops has been
sent to guard the property of the
Spanish-American Mining company at
Daiquiri on the south coast of Oriente
near Guantanamo
President Taft holds the view that
the executive, without further legis-
lation by congress, has ample au-
thority for Intervention in Cuba when
necessary. He so advised the Cuban
relations committee of the senate in
connection with the Bacon resolution
designed to supplement the Platt
amendment by enacting specific Eau
thority of law" for what now would
be an assumed authority" to inter-
rene. 1t was reported the committee
might recommend that during a ses-
sion of congress responsibility should
rest upon that body, by reference of
the matter to 1t by the president, but
when congress was not in session the
president should have a free hand to
act.

Openly Fighting New Yorker for
Temporary Chairman.
ASKS HIS FRIENDS FOR HELP
Asserts Senator Has Aligned Himself
Against Men Who Stand for Pro-
gressive Principles.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, June 4.-Upon
the selection of temporary chairman
of the Republican national convention
may hang the political fortunes of
former President Roosevelt. He de-
cided to oppose with all his strength
the seating of Senator Root and is
sued a call to all his supporters to
stand by him.
Colonel Roosevelt declares that Mr..
Root "has ranged himself against the
men who stand for progressive prin-
ciples within the Republican party"
and says it is William Barnes, Jr., of
New York who is to be the real head
of the Taft canvass at Chicago.
The colonels decision to make a
square issue of the seating of Mr..
Root was reached after a long con
sultation with advisers. At Sycamore
Hill were Senator Dixon, Clifford Pin
chot, William l.. Ward of New York,
George w. Perkins of New York,
Frank B. Kellogg and Andrew Rain,
both of whom are from Minnesota,
and Truxton Beale, a delegate from
California.
After Colonel Roosevelt had COM
pleted his statement he brought up
the question of whether he is to go to
the Chicago convention.
Not Going to Convention.
"After hearing what the men l have
seen have to say" he said, "my i'm
preston is that I will not go. l may
reach a different decision if any strong
arm tactics are attempted"
Following is the statement, in part,
dictated at Sycamore Hill by Colonel
Roosevelt:
''In the past MIR. Root has rendered
distinguished services as secretary of
state and secretary of war. But in
this contest Mr.. Root ranged himself
against the men who stand for pro-
gressive principles within the Repub-
lican party, that is, against the men
who stand for making the Republican
party in relation to the issues of the
present day what it was in the days
of Abraham Lincoln. He stands as the
representative Of the men and the
policies of reaction. He is put forward
by the bosses and the representatives
of special privileges.
What has recently come to my
knowledge makes it clear that it is a
question of the absolute duty of every
progressive Republican to oppose the
selection as temporary chairman at
Chicago of any man put forward in
the interests of the supporters of Mr..
Taft in this contest"
