Where Americans Excel.


The following story is sent to me as
illustrating the lack OF intelligence and
Ego" which characterizes too many Eng
lish men OF business as compared with
their foreign rivals: A gentleman in Bar
BADGES recently began TO work some ex-
tensive deposits OF asphaltum, called
'manjak." About a year ago he came
20 London trying to find a market for IL,
and submitted samples to-, among others,
the manager of a large electric-wlre
manufacturing company which uses tons
of asphaltum for Insulating purposes, as
we'll as 10 the chairman Of one of the
three London asphalt-paving companies
Both gentlemen pronounced the material
unsuitable for their purposes, and not an
ounce Of the "manjak' could the owner
sell I'm London. Almost immediately af-
ter he returned 20 Barbados, however.
he received visits. quite unsolicited from
various American manufacturers who
had heard OF the stun, and thought they
saw a use for IL; and since that date he
has sold more than thousand tons in
the United States. mostly for electrical
Insulating purposes. He sends me. as
examples OF the superiority OF American
inyentivenese over British, samples OF
the crude mineral and the manufactured
product as used In America

The Parks Bill.
Portsmouth starr

The Star has already pointed out that
this bill cannot fail TO contract and dis
arrange the business interests of the
State. A strict compliance with its pro-
visions will lay bare to the public, through
the tax-gatherer, the confidential trans
actions of every businessman, as the bill
makes the State a party TO any and all
confidential business dealing, under threat
Of prosecution for perjury.
But the people of the State, as whole,
are to be touched by this bill. 1t in
creases taxation. True, the promoters of
the bill represent it as operative exclu-
sively upon values heretofore escaping
their due burden of taxation. Neverthe-
less. the bin imposes additional taxation,
which in the end must be paid by the
people at large.

LAWTON AND GARCIA

The attitude of General Lawton to-
ward General Garcia is in direct con-
trast with that Of General Shafter, If
the facts were accurately reported. At
the time the Cuban general left Santi-
ago, when the victory over the Span
iards had just been achieved, 1t seemed
as if he had been treated with less
courtesy than he deserved. After years
Of fighting against the Spaniards, under
the most discouraging circumstances,
General Garcia deserved more consider
alton than was accorded to him.
General Lawton, however, is treating
the Cuban officer with the greatest re-
spect, and his action Is having a bene-
f1cial effect upon the Cuban people. The
assumption that the Cubans are utterly
worthless, which seemed to obtain be-
fore General Lawton took command,
should not be accepted until the policy
of kindness has been tried. This Is the
course which the general has evidently
marked out, and his many friends here
in Southern California are glad to learn
that policy SO in consonance with his
own kind d-heartedness should prove to
be so successful.

Relative to the prospects for cotton
cultivation In our arid districts, the
book calls attention to the fact that the
finest cotton. excepting that grown on
the sea islands. comes from Egypt.
Large quantities Of this variety were
imported last year. 1t is much superior
to the average cotton grown in the
south, and Is preferred for goods re-
quiring smooth and lustrous finish. It
is assumed, by this authority, that with
the Egyptian method Of cultivation a
similar grade Of cotton can be advan-
tageously produced in Arizona and
Southern California
The recent remarkable progress Of
cotton manufacturing in North and
South Carolina is Interesting in con-
nection with any possibility Of cotton

further, 1t IS stated that within the
last two weeks announcements have
been made of the erection Of half

THE MAGUIRE MEETING

Those who heard Judge Maguire's ad-
dress in this city few weeks ago will
want to hear him again, and those who
did not hear him ought to. Hazards
pavilion is not large enough to hold all
the people who will want to listen to the
Little Giant" in his mastery discussion
Of the issues Of the campaign at to-
nights meeting. Hence 1t Is good ad-
vice to say go early If you wish to get
in. Judge Mcguire Is not simply a pol
ished and logical speaker, but he has a
way Of going into the questions that are
nearest the hearts of the people and ex-
pounding them in way to make every
body feel that 1t Is good to be there.
The friends Of Mr.. Gage are especially
invited.

A few oranges are still being shipped
from Southern California to the east,

in few years will no doubt be that or
anges will be shipped every day In the

The attitude of our government toward

and handsome living will be paid entirely
by you and no charges on their account

A report of Mr.. Cages speech-making

of perlpatetic headquarters recalls an
incident of the Civil war. When General

his headquarters would be in the sad
