THE STORM.

The suspense which was caused by the break
ing Of all communication with Cuba and the
southeast coast Of Florida is at last ended In
realization Of some of the fears which had
inevitably arisen. 1t seemed an ominous cir
cumStance that for SO long time II was i'm
possible TO restore communication with those
regions. The repairing of q broken shore con-
nect1on OF a cable is usually q matter of q few
hours only, and meantime there were the Wire
less telegraphic equipments of several Ameri-
can warships, which might have been expected
to remain intact even when wires and cables
We're cut of commission. Every hour Of silence
increased apprehension Of some appalling catas-
trophe.
The news which has now come to hand is
that while there was serious loss Of life and
heavy damage to property the fair capital Of
Cuba has escaped calamity of the proportions
that was feared. 1t is gratifying to know that
all but one Of the American ships rode out the
tempest in safety. and to learn that the one
which was stranded, the fine cruiser Brook
lyn, was f9ated again with little injury
SO far as Is now known, the storm was an
exceptionally severe one of type characteristic
of those waters and islands involving at once
great atmospheric and tidal disturbances We
near or the wind blowing at the rate of eighty
miles an hour, and Of a tidal wave Of great
height Such phenomena are unhappily of not
1nfreQuent occurrence in the Caribbean and the
Gull, and when they appear the helplessness OF
man Is painfully manifest. he is not altogether
helpless, however. and his ability not perhaps
to cope with but at least to escape some of the
consequences of such storms Is perceptibIy In
Teasing Moreover, it Is becoming increasingly
easy TO construct buildings on land which will
stand unmoved and unharmed against any tenn
pest. In this case, too the utility Of the weather
forecasting and signal service seems again to
have been demonstrated Those tropical storms
form quickly, and a long warning may never
be possible. But sometimes an hours warn
ing, even, means all the difference between &C.
curity and destruction.

me, personal character OF is above
ploach; the personal character Of the other is by
no one respected.
One is earning his living by his personal industry
''ie oller Is a multimtlonaire by inheritance.
one has driven dishonest maguates from the
mead OF great corporations and compelled the re-
oLSaIiilZaton OF the corporations democratic
PLHC'p!es; the other is the head of a corporation

sonal responsibility.
One has helped drive from control political boss

owes his nomination to boss who is the servant
OF corrupt corporations.
one is not accused by his bitterest enemies Of
bribery by responsible accusers.
one received his nomination unsought, from an
unbossed convention the other from a convention
IN which a majority of the delegates voted they
were bid by their bosses.
one represents the best elements in his party
after the worst elements had been driven from
control; the other, the worst elements In his party
after the better elements had been cheated out or
their legitimate auth )riuy.
Which OF these men is more likely to drive
the corrupt boss from government and the corrupt
manager from the corporation, ana make both
government and corporation serve the cause OF the
common people? That is the question for the voters
IN New York State to answer at the polls the

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
LABOR ON HEARsT's RANCH.
Californian Says Candidate Employs For
eigners.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: notice that Mr.. Hearst in his campaign for
Governor OF your state. Is making strenuous efforts
TO deny that he employs Chinese labor his ranch
In California While 1t may be true that he does
not employ Chinese labor, he does not say that
he does not employ Japanese. Armenian OF other
foreign labor Don't let him deceive one IN re-
gard this matter OF ranch labor. The fact Is
that 1t is not much question to who the
labcrers as 1t is to get the labor to operate
the ranches. I know from my own observation
that thousands OF dollars lost by ranchers
every favorable crop year from the lack OF suffi-
cient labor. The hop growers advertise for months
ahead OF the picking season for pickers. and then
cannot get enough men. The same condition holds
true in the grain and fruit sections 1t is not
question OF who the laborers are but question of
getting them. The fact Is that most Of this kind
of labor IN this state s performed by foreigners,
and 1t s not the labor problem that hurts SO much
as 1t Is the difference Of race and civilization OF
the Asiatics. CHARLES F. HAWK

as the orderly procedure of the federal courts


permits
Not content with substituting romance for
fact about his achievement Mr.. Hearst
stoops to abuse Mr.. Hughes for taking a
mer vacation Mr.. Hughes's answer ought to
make him ashamed. While Mr. Hearst was
going back and forth between New York and
California in ease and luxury, leaving Bris-
bane and Ihmsen and his other employees to
conduct his newspaper and political corpora
tions, and while Mr.. Hearst was drawing a
large salary for doing work as a Congressman
which he did not do, Mr.. Hughes was working
night and day with his own brains, not those
of other men, TO fathom the mysteries of the
gas business, to expose the abuses of insurance
companies, and then to defend the gas rate
law in court For these services Mr.. Hearst
heartily commended him. Only now, when his
own ambition is crossed, does he find fault
with them, and the petty motive is appar-
ent that the faultfnding only discredits Mr..
Hearst, reveals the meanness and insincerity
Of his character and emphasizes the universal
praise of Mr.. Hughes, In which even Mr.. Hearst
Joined when his own interest not at stake.
For his defence of the gas law Mr.. Hughes re-
ceived no compensation, the false statements
Of Mr.. Hearst to the contrary Notwithstanding.
AS to the vacation, let Mr.. Hughes speak for
himself:
From the 22d of August until nearly the 1st
of May, with very few days intermission, had
worked every day and every night under the
greatest strain that had ever known-under
greater strain than I ever believed could stand.
1t was question at times during that investi-
cation whether L could even live through 1t.
When I came to this summer 1t not
question of whether I should like rest-it was
question of whether I could live without
rest.
Everybody who watched Mr.. Hughes's work
knows that this is true. His energy and endur-
ance and power of concentration were public
marvel. The wonder is that he did not break
down. And IN the face Of these facts, a pam
pered child Of inherited luxury, fattening
the work of his hired boomers, has the impu-
dence to abuse Mr.. Hughes for taking vaca-
toni
Desperate indeed must this man be to adopt
such methods! Every day brings forth new
instances of his double-dealing and untruthful-
ness, and all voters except the deluded beings
who know nothing but what he tells them see
the sham and shame Of it all, and are fast
passing from fear of a dangerous demagogue
to contempt for a self-seeking slanderer
