OF honor
The character of Governor Hughes
has made a deep impression upon the
American people because IL reveals
such fine combination OF force, cour-
age. good faith and sense of honor.
Public spirit. devotion to duty, con.
tempt for the tricks OF politics, are
all to be recognized in the governors
acts. The sum of his moral qualities
is admirable and constitutes a first
claim to the country's approval OF tho
appointment.
That he is mentally we'll equipped
for his now office la also clear He
has been n thorough student of the
law, has an excellent professional
trimming. and has proved his strength
and acuteness under severe tests. We
would add also that such an expert
ence as he has had In public affairs
would be an illuminating experience
for many Judge.
Mr.. Bryan recalls his hostility TO the
income tax. declares that he IL weak
reformer and that he is by instinct
friendly to the corporations. Opposed
TO this is the opinion of the Demo
cratic New York World that the gov.
ernor is a progressive statesman and
fearless champion of public rights
against special privileges, and that
what New York loses the nation gains
many times over. The Record Her
aids view Is that the moral qualities
that have been so conspicuous in
Hughes political life will continue to
govern him on the bench. and that
whatever his political sympathies may
be he will be first of all conscien.
tious and upright Judge. Record Her
aid.

| Sicily, Formerly we imported several
millions of dollars worth of Sicilian
lemons annually. Today the imports
have been cut down more than half.
much to the distress of the Sicilian
people, although they can afford to
ship lemons TO New York for half the
price that the California growers mus:
charge, in order to make a profit.
The freight rates on the steamers are
merely nominal, often as low as %
cents box for voyage of more than
S'oeo miles, but they are carried as
ballast The steamship companies get
their money chiefly from the immi
grant fares and can afford to take
fruit and any other kind of cargo for
practically nothing
Sicily was formerly the chief source
OF our supply of sulphur. but that busi
ness has been practically DESTROYED
by the competition of the Union Sui
phur company. which has an enormous
deposit In Calcasieu parish, Louisiana
This deposit was discovered In 1865
while drilling for petroleum. For
many years Its operation was unprofit
able and, in fact. impossible, because
large beds of quicksands overlie the
birthstone and the water with which
they are saturated contains quantities
of sulphuretted hydrogen. gas so
deadly that even II shaft could have
been sunk through 1t, under ground
work would have been impossible.
After hundreds of thousands of dol
lars had been expended in vain at
tempts to overcome these difficulties
Herman Frasch, chemist of Cleve.
land, invited method of melting the
sulphur in the ground by forcing steam
through 1t and bringing II to the sur.
face in liquid form. This method has
been proven to be so successful and so
economical. and the deposit is so large
that the Louisiana mine can supply
the entire earth without the slightest
difficulty.
Until the application of steam in
mining this sulphur the United States
imported 80 per cent OF the quantity
that it consumed in that country and
nearly all of 1t came from Sicily.
which, up to 1906, had practically a
monopoly on the sulphur business of
the world. But as the Louisiana oper.
ations developed the importations OF
Sicilian sulphur into the United State;
diminished gradually. dropping from
si.50O,O0o worth In 1902 to $3.50, 900 in
1906 and 100000 worth in 1909, and
even that quantity was practically
dumped on the market by The Italian
government.
The consequences of this new Amer.
lean enterprise upon the Industrial sit.
uation in Sicily can be realized when
tell you that upward of 250, 900 men
FOR generations have been entirely de.
pendent upon the sulphur mines ON
that island for a livelihood The op
orators finding their market taken
away from them were compelled tt
discharge half their employees and cut
| down the wages of the rest to such
an extent that in August 1907, 10000
miners went on strike. The situation
was so desperate that military forces
were sent 10 Sicily and the govern
ment intervened by going into the sui
rhur business and buying certain
amount of the output in order to keep
the mines in operation and give the
people employment
