CUBA NOW A SOLID
AND CLEAN COUNTRY
Sydney Brooks Says Ameri-
can Energy Has Worked
Wonders in Island.

New York. n. Y, May PA Brit
ish view of Cuba" is gwen by Sydney
Brooks of London, the well known
English pubHcist, who is now in New
York, after spending several months
in Cuba in behalf of the London Times.
Mr. Brooks summarizes some of his
impressions of the island and its prob
lem as follows:
What most surprised me was to
find Cuba one of the cleanest and
healthiest countries 1 have ever come
across. It's death rate is the lowest
but one in the world and it was almost
bewildering to be forced to realize that
Havana, with the terror of whose name
all Europe and America have rung FOR
800 years. is now no longer a fever
den but one of the choicest and best
patronized health resorts and tourists
resorts in the West Indies. American
energy and example aSd Cuban docility
and good sense are to De thanked for
that If Americans had never done
anything else for Cuba they would de-
serve her lasting gratitude for having
put the fear of dirt into the Cuban
people. It is not the Plat amendment
that keeps the Cubans securing and
flushing their streets and installing wa
ter supplies and sewage systems. II
is simply that they have learned that
such things pay for themselves a thous-
and times over. Yellow fever has be-
come not merely obsolete but virtu-
ally impossible and I do not believe
that any questions or sanitation will
ever again oblige the United States to
take an active interest in Cuban af-
fairs.
"The island is prosperous and going
rapidly ahead. Mr.. Bryce. the British
ambassador at Washington, declared a
few years ago that no better field
for the expenditure of capital could
be wished for and the statement is
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1911-05-22

even truer today than when it was
first made Cuba is one of the most
accessible and potentially one OF the
richest spots on earth, yet at the same
time one of the least developed and
the most sparsely populated Only
about one-twentieth of its area IS un-
der any kind of cultivation and It's
people number no more than z,oOO'VVOs
The eastern end of the island, espec-
iaIIv-and it is there that the agricul-
turai and industrial future of Cuba lies
is store house of natural wealth
cIanoring for men. highways and cap1-
tai to unlock it. Tt is possible for any
well organized concern to go into what
is now an uncleared wilderness, ana III
five or six years to build up great
and prosperous industry in sugar, TIM
Der and fruit. Sir William van horne
nv driving his railroad through the
heart of the dsland has opened up dis
tricts that were previously as remote
from one another and as inaccess1oIe
as though they had been separated oy
continents instead of kflometers ana
II Is only a question of time before
Nueritas and Apdilla on the north coast
and Santiago on the south begin TO
dispute the ascendency of Havana
.aThe material future OF Cuba, IN
short. I take to be a thing assured
There win be moments Of comparative
depression, Of course-there Is one now
due to short sugar crop, long
drouth and low prices-bus on the
whole nothing. not even politics, can
stop the rapid upward movement OF
Cuban prosperity. .
~As for politics, the first thing. to
be said of the Cuba of today is that
it is absolutely Tranquil The Few men
who have it in their power to MAKE
trouble are too busy with their nlliIs
and plantations to think OF poIltics'
and those who would like TO maze
trouble have not the power. The coun-
try is admirably policed; the rear OF
another. American Intervention like tnal
of 1906 operates as an abiding restraint
and pretty nearly everybody cross
examined simply laughed at the sus-
gestion of : revolution Cuba mas

CANADIAN ORDER
KEEPS EINDUS OUT
Restrictions on Immigrants
Work Hardship on
British Subjects.

London, Eng. May 22.-The peculiar
wish to emigrate to Canada find them
selves is set forth in petition from
the Hindu Friends society of Victoria,
B. c.. and addressed co the imperial
conference which will .pen IN this city
this week.
The petitioners point out that the
dominion emigration laws make it
more difficult for a British citizen to
emigrate from India 70 Canada than
come a resident of the Canadian part
of the empire. They quote Canadian
order-of council effective since May,
1910. as follows:
From and after the date hereof, the
landing in Canada shall be and the
same is hereby prohibited of any i'm
migrants who have come to Canada
otherwise than by continuous journey
from the country of which they are
natives or citizens, and upon through
tickets purchased in that country or
purchased or prepaid in Canada"
1t is noted that this order-in-coun:
Gil No. 920 has been suspended in the
case of aliens and the petitioners re-
speetfully submit to the imperial con-
ference, why it should not be rescind-
ed on behalf of fellow subjects.
The hardship entailed by this law is
explained by the statement that there
is no direct steamship communication
between Indian ports and Canada and
that the Hindus cannot purchase steam
ship tickets from India for any point
in Canada as the steamship companies
will not take the risk of being COM
PEELED to carry them back IN the event
that they are for any reason refused
admission to that country.

SEEKS TO ABOLISH
THE COUNTRY
SALOON
Representative Dunn Has q
Scheme Which May Upset
County optionists

Representative r. C. Dunn of
Princeton will spring another one on
the county optionists that may upset
all of their plans for legislation this
winter.
He has worked out a scheme for
doing away with the roadhouses and
saloons In the thinly settled districts
where there is no police regulation.
He WILL propose himself or will see
that there Is proposed a law which
Will prevent county commissioners
from issuing licenses for country sa-
looms.
This condition, according to Mr.,
Dunn, Is the source Of the real trou-
BILE In the counties which have
brought about the agitation for q
county option act. In support Of his
position he points to the recent up
heaval In Ramsey and Hennepin coun-
ties over the roadhouses.
There are two counties in the
state where this idea of mine has been
put into operation" he said. zone is
Attktn and the other is Itasca. There,
the commissioners feeling it. would
be impossible to properly police the
saloons. refused to grant licenses.
am not defending the saloons but
do feel that the bulk of the trou-
BILE In, the past has been due to these
roadhouses. A discontinuance Of these
places will greatly reduce the num-
Der OF offenses generally and, while
1t would not be going as far as the
county opttonists desire, I am sure 1t
would so materially improve things
that their support for the measure
can be secured"
