Cuba on the following day. 1t is asserted that the

rated in New-Jersey with capital OF 100000 went

Cyrus Field Judson said yesterday that while
the published statement was aimed at Gen
ersl Wood it was fact that General Wood was
more of a detrinent than help TO the Cuba Quar-
~ Company, because while he was Military Gov
the company could get no contracts from
the government except by bidding in comDetition
with other companies. The company was formed
and the Quarries were leased Mr.. Judson said bv
the advice Of Michael J. Dady. OF BROOKLYN who
was in Havana expecting to get a sewer contract
involving the expenditure Of millions. He failed
10 get the contract, and the stone which the com
pany meant to crush for cement for the sewers re-
NAMED in the quarries. Only $4,000 OF the com
pany's stock was issued Nj Judson said. and the
expenses OF hauling the stone ate up the profits

the coil cannot be gainsaid. At nc
period in the worlds history have its
producers, and especially its wage
workers. enjoyed 30 many Of the COM

to the last half of the nineteenth cen.

the wealthy.
The effect of the material progress
Of the world upon the morals Of the
masses under twentieth century con-
ditions has been visibly wholesome.
The better housing, better clothing
and better living and better schooling
of the common people has raised the
general standard by which humanity
must be measured physically and
spiritually. Material prosperity and
reduction in the hours of labor
enable the modern workingmsn and
working woman to keep abreast with
the educational advancement of the
times and give them the opportunity
to avail themselves of public libraries,
art galleries. public lectures. con-
certs and church services to an extent
never before within their reach.
Material improvements is tlie basis Of
mental and moral improvement and
they have gone hand in hand.
What is special gratifying is that
this progress is more marked among
the people OF any other nation on
earth. That this is due in large part
to the influence of our free institu-
tions and tho prevailing democracy
that obliterates class and defies caste
is self-evident. The important point,
however, is that mental and moral
progress is being made and that it is
being made faster in America than
anywhere else. Omaha Bee.
