CONSUMPTION OF SUGAR.

According to the bureau of sta
tistics about 7.5OO,OOO.OOO pounds OF
sugar We're consumed in the United
States in the year ending June 80. i'm
ports and home production being in
Guided
The average per capita consump-
ton, eighty-two pounds. exceeded
that Of any preceding year. The pro-
ductiOn OF cane sugar in the United
States was 75O.0OO,OOO pounds. as
compared with $4,000. 900 pounds in
1909. but 100000 pounds Of
beet sugar were produced against
967, 900, the highest record of any
previous year. The Hawaiian Islands
furnished 1.111.O0O.OOO; Porto Rico.
Sos, 900, 900, and the Philippine ISL
ands, 100000 pounds. in each
case more than for any preceding
year.
The imports from foreign countries
aggregated 9, 918,OOO,OOO pounds, a re-
duction of $4,000. 600. 900 pounds
from the preceding year. Foreign
countries supplied 81 per cent Of the
sugar consumed, as compared with 70
per cent in 1900 and preceding years.
According to the agricultural depart
ment, the quantity OF beet sugar pro-
duced has increased from 10000 900
pounds in 1899 10 1925. 600, 600
pounds in 1910, an increase Of esq.,
100000 pounds. as compared with an

FREE PUBLIC DANCE HALLS.

More liberality is being shown in
the matter of the entertainment Of the
rising generation. Recently the doors
of the Brookline gymnasium were
thrown open to the young people OF
that place who were unable to pay for
that form Of amusement, the director
believing he has solved a trying prob
lem regarding the welfare of the
youngsters.
Brookline is a suburb OF Boston,
where many of the Yankee blue
bIoods reside, but mill and factory
hands also live there and it was for
their benefit the doors of the gymna-
stun were opened.
These free dances are held every
Monday evening in the gymnasium,
from $3.50 to 1880, and are open to
all the boys and girls in Brookline
under IS.
Director Mason is enthusiastic over
the result of his experiment and re-
Gently gave vent to his feelings in an
interview in this wise:
Il think grown-up people do not
realize how fond the average boy and
girl Is OF dancing.
Growing boys and girls who get
away from their homes for few
hours with no means of distracting
themselves, as we all know, are very
liable TO choose bad company or do
things which they may later regret
appeal to a growing boys, or to a
growing girls sense of pleasure and
you have already got their interest.
THE free dance at the gymnasium
keeps the boys and girls off the street
corners. There are few who are not
glad to come. 1t costs nothing"
Since the opening Of the Brookline
gymnasium several free municipal
dance halls are being contemplated in
New York Properly safe-guarded
such municipal places of amusement
would prove Of great value.

WORKINGMEN SHOULD
CONSIDER.

The Oriental countries are coming
into competition with the United
States in the spinning and weaving Of
cotton textiles.
Official statistics show that in Japan
there has been since 1900 an increase
of 259, 0O7 spindles, while the increase
in pounds Of yarn spun has been a.
171.SSl pounds. OF the 74.225 Ope-
ratives employed in the japanese
spinning industry $500. or nearly so
per cent, are females. The average
daily wage is IA cents, while the
average daily wage Of the male ope-
rative is % cents.
While the tariff question is under
discussion all phases of 1t should be
considered. How about Japanese
competition?

A UNITED PARTY.

The political situation has cleared
to the extent that President Taft and
former President Roosevelt are now
standing side by side and Will go into
the campaign together. Busybodies
attempted To bring about an estrange-
ment. but all plots and plans have
proved abOrtive.
From present Indications it is ap-
parent that the Republicans all over
the land are getting together and that
the Democrats are due to get one OF
their oId-time wallopings in NoYem-
Der. that being the season for such
occurrences.
There are no differences Of opinion
in Republican ranks affecting the car
dinal principles of the party. The
protective tariff system under which
the country has made such progress
during the past fifty years VIII be de-
Tended in every congressional district.
It is entirely useless TO take up
minor questions at this time. Such
differences of opinion, if any exist
can be threshed out after the victory
is won. The thing TO do is for the
Republicans to overwhelm the Demo-
Gratis and then make up their pro-
gram regarding the future.
Taft and Roosevelt will lead the
way. Where is the craven who fears
TO follow?

SIGN OF PROSPERITY.

The importation OF luXuries into the
United States was larger in the fiscal
year 1910 than in any earlier year in
the history OF our commerce, accord
ing TO figures published by the bureau
OF statistics OF the department OF
commerce and labor.
These figures show the importation
OF fully two hundred and fifty million
dollars worth Of articles which may
properly De classed as Iuxuries. that
total exceeding by more than % mill
lion the figures OF the former high
record year. 1907. and being actual
~ more than double those Of the year
1900. a decade ago.
Diamonds. jewelry. laees and en-
broideries. furs. feathers, beads and
perfumery on the one hand, and ci-
gars and tobacco. wines and liquors
and automobiles on the other are the
principal articles forming the $50 mil
lion dollars worth of luxuries import
ed, though to these great groups must
be added a third which includes art
works. decorated china and bisque
musical instruments. toys and orchids.
palms. etc.
The rates were raised on the luxu-
ries. although ancient works Of art
were admitted free. by the new tariff
law. That the luxuries continue TO
be imported is proof OF the great
prosperity of the country and that
American citizens are still buying re-
CARELESS Of price. No other country
on earth could stand the strain and
pay out so many millions for luxuries.

the habit

WHITE MEN BARRED.

A fact not generally known in the
United States has recently been
brought TO light since the critical
condition existing in Liberia has been
exploited. It has been discovered
that the chief bar TO the development
Of Liberia is a law by which white
men are not allowed to hold property
in the country
Liberia was intended TO become a
black republic" pure and simple.
but the law preventing the white man
from holding property has worked to
the great disadvantage Of the strug-
Cling colonists. Capital has gone else
where and Liberia possesses none Of
the resources of modern civilization.
There are no railways in the repub-
lie, no telegraph lines, and there is no
cable communication with the rest Of
the world. Conditions are Just the
same as they were ninety years ago,
when the state was founded.
The more enlightened Liberians
have long since realized that this pro-
hibitory law is a mistake. They have
tried over and over again 10 have it
repealed or amended in such a way
that European or American capital
lists may be induced TO develop the re-
sources OF the land, but all attempts
TO change the law have been defeated.
Only a few months ago the United
States was compelled to send a war
vessel 10 the coast OF Africa to assist

INDIANS ARE WEALTHY.

AS a result Of the congressional in
Vestigation OF the charges made by
Senator Gore at the close Of the re-
cent session it is probably that the
lands of Poor 10" will be conserved
by the government and a stop put 10
some of the existing evils.
Poor 10" isn't poor by any means.
According to figures made public by
the Indian bureau. the total value of
lands belonging TO the Indians is
more than $576.OOO.OOO. and the
amount of actual cash held is $62.-
100000.
The figures OF Commissioner Valen-
tine show that the tribal property OF
the Indians is valued at 251,762,S4s,
of which amount S1S9.768.79S is in
land, and $61,s93,55O is IN timber.
The individual property held by the
Indians is even greater, amounting to
s3O9. S56. POI. of which $2sO.3O6,751 is
In land and $29.O49.450 is in timber.
Besides this real estate, Poor LO"
500, 2O4.65S in cash in the United
States treasury, and funds in banks
amounting 10 $6,514,371. Figures for
the present fiscal year will not be
compiled for many months from now.
and they win perhaps show that the
Indian is worth even more. The total
value of all the Indians real property,
when Commissioner Valentines &C
countants completed these latest fig
ures. was $576.2O1. ESQ. which, with
cash amounting to $62,71s.S71. gives
the enormous total OF S63S. 92O.651.
The popular opinion is that the In
dams are a rapidly disappearing race,
and that they viii soon become exr
tinct. Figures do not bear out this
theory, and the Indian office statistics
show that the birth rate last year was
1914 a thousand, while the death rate
was only 31.2. The Indian popuia-
ton OF the country is about 100000,
scattered throughout twenty-six states
and on 1877 reservations, with an ag-
gregate area twice the size of the
state OF New York. Poor Los" per
capita wealth is apprOximately-$2.13 100;
that for other Americans is only
little more than $1,000.
The lands owned by the Indians are
rich in natural resources OF all kinds.
Many Of the tribes own some Of the
best timber land there is in the United
States. The value OF the agricultural
lands also runs far up in the million
Much OF the land in the various res
ervations is valuable for oil and gas
and coal deposits.
The ranges support about a half
million sheep and cattle owned by les
sees, bringing in a revenue Of more
than S272.OOO TO the various tribes.
and besides provide feed for more
than a million and half head of
horses. cattle, sheep and goats be-
longing TO the Indians themselves.
Practically the only asphalt deposits
in the United States are on Indian
lands. In addition TO this wealth in
natural resources and in funds, the
Indian has appropriated for him
about $4,000 900 a year by Congress
Tor education and Improvement.
The great value OF the possessions
OF the Indians is naturally tempting,
and it is not surprising that the men
who have been seeking contracts have
not always acted upon the square.
The time has arrived. however. when

CONSERVATION DEFERRED.


Conservation is more or less the
question OF the hour. We hear
much and know little about it save in
an indistinct way. In the Journal of
Geology for August, DR.. II. c. Cham
berlain distinguishes between con-
servaton that is political in character
and scientific conservation. Here is
what he says:
The problems Of conservation and
the problems OF possession are
distinct questions each TO be
solved in its own way and on It's
own basis. They centre in sep
arate fields. The conservation Of
natural resources centres IN the

STRIKES Do NOT PAY.

The cloak makers have been on a
strike in New York for some time
past. and the effect has been disas-
trous TO all concerned, the strikers
with families, of course, being The
worst sufferers.
The 20 900 men employed in the trade
earned. before the strike, week
Nv wage of about S1,5OO,OOO. Thelr
loss now amounts 70 Sy,O0O,OOO IN
wages while the loss TO the com
munity through the lnacIlon OF
the cloak factories amounts ap-
nrOximately to $3.50 100000. The
manufacturers are able TO stand
their share of the loss, for prac-
tically they are losing only their
operating expenses.
More thaD score of the larger en-
DlOyers have opened factories IN
nearby towns in Jersey and Con-
necticut and are busy turning out
goods for the fall trade. They
report that they have encoun-
tered no difficulty in getting op-
eratives TO work.
1t is true that men, women and
children are ground down in the
sweat shops of the big cities. We do
not know that the cloak makers suf-
fer to the same extent as others, but
it is presumed that they have griev-
ances needing adjustment. They
haven't gained anything by going on
strike and will probably lose money
if they win.

WASH TIE FRTIT.

A few days ago attention was
called to the opinion Of the Kansas
City health authorities regarding the
danger Of contamination where fruit
is exposed to disease germs. The ne
cessity of washing such fruit is urged
by American Medicine in the follow
ing article:
Unwashed fruit offers a danger that
is too little appreciated by many
OF our most intelligent and fas-
UidlOus people In cities like New
York, where so much fruit is sold
on the streets from open carts
and stands the evil is increased
manifold. Apples, pears. peaches.
grapes, berries, and other fruits
mat are eaten uncoOked are the
chief offenders, and eXamina-
lions that have been undertaken
show a variety of germ life that
would be astounding II the bac-
terlal contamination liable to re-
suit from street dust was not al
ready known. Flies are another
great source Of contamination.
Washing the fruit before using is so
easy that it might be neglected unless
the danger to health is impressed
upon the users. The old adage that
an ounce of prevention is worth
pound Of cure would seem 10 apply.

MASS MEETING
TO Be HELD
TONIGHT
MEMS BROTHERHOODS To
SELECT CANDIDATES FOR
CITY POSITIONS AT JOINT
MEETING.

At the First Presbyterian
church tonight an effort will be
made by the church voters in the
prominent churches to get togeth-
er on candidates for the election
next Tuesday.
At meetings last night secret
ballots were taken in several
churches by the mems brother
hoods, and the results will be GER
titled to the meeting tonight.
Lynn Probable Choice.
Indications point to Lynn as
the choice of the mems brother
hoods for mayor. There is also
considerable sentiment gathering
for Sproule. Sproule has been
conducting an aggressive educa-
tional campaign for municipal
ownership of the street railway
lines. He is also well acquainted
in business circles and in the
last couple of days there has been
considerable Sproule talk among
the business men.
Who Can Beat Fawcett?
Lynn is getting support from
the church voters on the basis of
his being the most available man
to beat Fawcett. There is a gen.
eral impression out that Fawcett
viii be one of the men to be in
the finals. Neither Bell, Balk-
will, Atkins nor Armstrong, it
is believed, could beat him in the
last race, but with Lynn or
Sproule the moral elements be-
lieve there would be an issue of
public decency aroused that
would cause the defeat of Faw-
cett.
Lynn has the support of the
Sixth Avenue Baptist and Ep-
worth Methodist and First Metho-
dist and First Presbyterian
churches, and on the surface to-
day it appears that he will be
able to land the endorsement to-
night as the candidate of the
cnurCn element.
In the brotherhood convention
tonight 1t is also expected can
|didates will be picked for commits
sioners.
w. P. Bonney, Calvin Stewart,
Ray Freeland, are names fire.
quently mentioned among the
church people as available candi-
dates, but who will be chosen as
men suitable to the church forces
is very problematical.
There is likely to be a decided
difference of opinion on some of
the candidates, and it is not un-
likely that some very shrewd po-
litical wirepulling will be mani
tested at the meeting tonight.
