AFFAIRS IN CUBA.
Senior Quesada Denies Some Sensa.
tional Reports.


WASHINGTON. - Senior Quesada,
the Cuban minister, in view OF reports
that yellow fever was beginning to
obtain a foothold in Cuba, and that
the Cuban government was not vigor-
ously enforcing sanitary precautions,
gave out the following official state
ment:
"The rate of mortality in the island
OF Cuba has steadily decreased since
the establishment of the republic.
From official data the annual death
rate in the last four months has been
in the district of Havana as follows:
August, 1912; September, 1924; Oc-
tober, 1871; and November, 1850 per
1000, and for the whole island, 1851,
1916, 1910 and IA respectively. This
compares most favorably with the
best showings Of the states OF the
United States and the countries OF
Europe, and is due not only to our
splendid climate, but to the con-
scientious efforts. of the Central SAM.
talS OCHol II1CAI VA SuUu.
There has been no epidemic Of quar-
antinable diseases. Yellow fever,
smallpox, cholera and the plague have
not developed in Cuba since the proc
lamation of the republic. Neither OF
the cases of yellow fever at Punta De
Sal, in October and November, has
propagated beyond the original
places.
1t is true that owing to the finan-
cial inability of certain municipalities,
brought about by the low prices for
staple products, they have been un-
able to do as much as they would like
for water supply, street cleaning,
pavement and sewers, but in nowise
has this caused the yellow fever,
which has not broken out in any of
the ports of the towns. Havana has
asked several times for large sums for
public improvements, and to help the
municipalities only a few days ago
an appropriation Of 100000 for i'm
mediate use vas passed by the House
of Representatives, the Senate
amending the bill by increasing the
amount threefold, and as soon as Con-
gress r~eassembles in January there
will be ample means to attend to all
sanitary requirements. Cuba is a
nation governed by a constitution, and
without the action of Congress no
money can be disbursed by the eXecu-
tive. Yet as evidence of how anxious
are the inhabitants to maintain the
work of sanitation, the instance of
Guantanamo may be cited where a
week ago the people met and sub
scribed several thousand dollars for
street cleaning, etc.
The government of Cuba is doing
its full duty in the matter and in
tends to continue improving the CON
dition of all the towns, which can
now be compared without any disad-
vantage with those of any other coun-
try. Cuba thus far has shown that
it is protecting its neighbors efficient
ly and that its sanitary officers are
fully able TO meet any emergency and
court and scientific investigation car.

Girls as Bank EMPLOYEES.

Employment of girls in banks is
nc new experiment. The Bank of
France took women into its employ
ment as long ago as 1852. This be-
ginning only consisted of four girls
in very minor positions. Before a
year vas finished the four had become
twelve. Twenty years later the num-
Der was 100 and today 800 women
work in the bank, Of whom three are
among the principal cashiers.

Eoyptians Used Fine Tools.

When the pyramids were built the
laborers did not work under such dis

they had solid and tubular drills and

jewels and cut into the rocks with

of the department to entirely abolish
the leasing fee cannot yet be learned
but it is almost certain that by max
ing proper presentation of the facts
the stockmen can secure reduction
of the fees to point which will not
prove oppressive. Some of the stock
men claim they would very much pre-
fer small fee to no fee at all while
others claim that the order should be
rescinded entirely. At all events the
Post believes that rulings which will
be entirely satisfactory to the MAORI

great di versity of opinion concerning
the merits of Mr.. McPhee's produc.

with it while others pronounce it in
sipid and altogether uninteresting.
The peculiar feature of the story is
the exceptionally large cast of chsrac-
ters, but We observe that those who
are personally mentioned in the plot
are not keen to order extra copies sent
to their friends in the East. The
title of the story is 'The Delinquent

ladies present took severe exceptions
to Mrs Mather's criticisms. Here are
some of her statements:
Women have been crucihed npon a
cross of gold. Character, ability and
intellectualtity no longer weigh much
in the social scales. When one mother
asks another if her daughter married
we'll. the usual answer is affirmative
or negative, according to the size of
the check the bridegroom can sign.
The complexity of modern life has
reduced the Joy of living to mini
mum. Cause: Women have the fever
for gold; their ideals are tainted with
it Remedy: Insist upon genuine
ideals. Let woman's measure be
taken in worth, wonanliness and cul-
ture instead of fine clothes, luxuries
and jewels.
Embezzlements and defalcations are
growing alarmingly numerous. The
cause: Thousands of women are liv
ing beyond their Incomes. Few wo-
men know what their incomes are.
Few know how much their husbands
can afford to have them spend. Rem
edy: Let women be taught the value
of dollar. Let them learn to do
housekeeping on business basis in
stead of trusting the management to
incompetent servants.
Young women are refusing to mar
ry men with modest incomes. The
young woman of the present expects
her husband to begin financially
where her father left off. Cause
Girls are permitted to be extravagant
and wasteful. They cannot appreci-
ate the value of hard earned money.
Remedy: Let parents teach their chill
dren the principles of work and econ
omy and the management of money at
home Children should be given work
to do in the home and should be paid
for it.

BUSH BREAKS OUT AGAIN

Notorious Jim Bush, game warden
during Orman's administration and
who secured fewer convictions in pro-
portion to his arrests than perhaps
any man ever connected with the
game service has rushed into the Den
yer papers in letter d enunciatory of
Commissioner Woodard and his ad-
ministration. Woodland says in reply
that Bush is bad case of sour grapes
and that Bush's attack on the present
administration is due to his failure to
secure commission as special war
den which would allow him to live
on his Routt county ranch under pay
Of the state Woodard states there
were more arrests made during the
first ten months of the present admin
istration than during the entire Orman
regime.
There is one feature of the present
work which is noticeable to all and
that is the certainty with which the
present administration secures convic-
tion. The attacks of Bush refer es-
pecially to the work of Charley Pur-
inton and Fred Gordon, two of the
best wardens who have ever served the
state, and these familiar with the
work of these gentlemen know that
they seldom make arrests except where
the evidence indicates that convic.
tion can be secured, while Bush was
always taking up technical and i'm
probable cases and bringing himself
and the department into ridicule by
his losing tactics.
1t looks as though Woodland had the
long end of the newspaper argument
while the residents of the western
slope know that Fred Gordon on
cru:ches is worth more to the game
department than mouthy Jim Bush
in his palmiest days.

been actuated in his official life by
constancy to duty, which is decidedly
unpleasant to the lawbreak ers in all
parties, and it is probable they will
make certain his defeat, but whether
he succeed or not he has already

in the enforcement of the law. and has
opened the eyes of the public to the

though others reap the harvest.
