With Aid Of Churches the Liquor
Interests Would Be Doomed.

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
At the last meeting OF the Anti-Saloon

paper that supports the interests Of

from the miseries inflicted By the sa-
loon.

its conditions assimilate to the good

Cuban Vice Consul Makes Correction
Of an Error As to the Uprising.

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
have read In your important news
paper that the Evangelical Ministers
Alliance" an organization composed of
$50 negro pastors in the District of Co
lumbia, have passed resolutions stating
that the bulk Of the Cuban army in our
war OF independence was made up of
blacks. and upholding the few ignorant
negroes that have risen in arms against
the Cuban government.
Allow me, Mr. Editor, to state through
the columns Of your paper that the Gu
ban army OF liberation was composed
mostly of white soldiers, and 1t was
due to the latter In the ten years war,
1S6S-lS7S, that the Cuba. negro was made
a free man, and still in the resolutions
adopted and passed by the ministers
alliance they claim that the Cuban
negro Is fighting against oppression. ;"
II would be well for the learned col
ored gentlemen Of the Evangelical AL
lance to read the history of Cuba be-
fore adopting resolutions containing the
misleading Information above stated
Let me add that the patriotic colored
man OF Cuba condemns the uprising in

CHAIRMAN CLAYTON's PROMISE.

Chairman Clayton, of the House Committee on
Judiciary, announces that, once undertaken, the
new investigation of the Beef trust will be thorough
and continuous the committee remaining in session
all summer, if necessary, in order to arrive at the
facts attending the unprecedented rise in the price
of meats.
Now this sounds something like business. We
never have much trouble in this country to start d
probe of an evil, but the truth-seekng spirit soon
becomes faint and finally fckers out. Pressure is
brought to bear, witnesses spirited away, and
all things conspire to render investigation nil.
The most prolific source of blight which over
comes so many committees appointed to investigate
a subject of great moment is the weakness of the
probers. So long as the investigation skins the
surface and throws up spray that is cool and
pleasant to behold things rapidly; but the
moment some plunges to the bottom and brings
up a mass of facts, figures, slim and water-logged
precedens requiring panstakng analysis, the spirits
of the investigators lag, the flesh becomes weak
the days grow hot, the baseball game allures, the
summer resort beckons, and the postofce fight back
home gets in snarl-and another investigation
falls by the wayside.
The promise of Chairman Clayton to stay or
the job "if it takes all summer" sounds like rea

LAST FIELD OF DISCOVERY.

The great deeps were conquered with diving
bell long ago, and more recently with the subma-
rines. The aeroplane has assumed dominion of the
skies, and is being brought more and more to per-
fecton. After both poles had been discovered there
seemed to be nothing this terrestrial ball left that
was worthy Of real adventurers and discoveries.
Then the director of the observatory on Mt
Vesuvius bethought him that nobody had ever yet
sounded the depths of volcano and come out alive
That early philosopher, Empedocles, projected him
self into the suphurous innards of Mt. Etna but he
failed to return with any scientific data, and one
shoe, cast up with the scoriae and ashes, was the
only memorial of his fate.
The equipment, we'll as the courage of the
twentieth century was drawn upon by the Vesuvius
professor for his hazardous exploration. He took
along with him moving picture operator who was
to bring back indubitable films as an evidence of
good faith. They walked about on the floor of the
crater, photographed the vapors, and other phe-
nomena, and reached the outside worlu safely again
While they hardly penetrated the entire crust of the
earth, they sensiby narrowed the one remaining
field of exploration, and by now are busy throwing
the pictures the screen. Much valuable data has
also been brought forward. In very truth the dar-
ing souls of the future who would win the laurels
of the pioneer will find, whether they direct their
gaze to earth, sea- or sky that they were born too
late.

ATLANTIC CITY'S SCANDAL.

The Atlantic City scandal is an interesting COM
mentary upon our American city government. The
wholesale graft and blackma which appear to have
permeated that cys affairs, due to two things.
First the pernicious system that prevails in most
American cities of turning the city government over
to men who are paid little or no salary for their
work. and expecting them to devote the greater part
Of their time to working for the public for nothing
This is direct bid for corrupt or inefficient Of
fcals-often both.
Then, there was the willingness of business in
terests to be blackmailed and grated up to a cer-
tain point. 1t was only when the demands became
coniscatory that the business men rebelled. Their
protest. at the bottom, economic rather than
q moral one
The same situation marks nearly every munich
pality. The remedy for the first evil is commission
form of government under which men Of probity and
experience in municipal affairs placed in charge
of the municipal government and paid a commen-
surate salary for their work, thus removing the in.
centive or necessity to make something the side.
The remedy for the second evil is a quickened
business conscience that will compel the business
interests of city to realize that corrupt govern
ment of their community is bad advertisement for
the city and adds to their individual expenses in

OUR GERMAN VISITORS.

Neither as the result of the Sims 'last drop
of-blood" speech nor for any other reason were
there any real irrtaons to salve in the mutual re-
lations of Germany and the United States, and the
exchange of courtesies between the two countries
may be looked upon spontaneous demonstration
Of good fellowship. The visit of the cruiserbattle-
ship Moltke and the cruisers Stettin and Bremen,
which reached Lynnhaven bay two days ago, will
provide the occasion for round of hospitality which
is backed up by the right good will of the American
people Of all the adopted citizens Of the republic
there are none who assimlate more readily with our
institutions than the Germans.
Beginning with the official welcome extended
by the President and the Secretary of the Navy, the
social functions incident to the visit Of the German
warships will continue here and in New York for
many weeks, and nowhere will the officers and
men of the visiting squadron be greeted more cordi-
ally than here in the National Capital.

Yards.
/, the Editor OF THE TIMES: :

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
Through your generous columns
wish to make public the great danger
to which the passengers OF the City and

times held by reason of the existing in
adequate equipment at the Baltimore

There are here some thirteen or more
tracks. running at practically right an
giles with said electric tracks.
Upon the Baltimore and Ohio rails
heavy freight trains are backed in 60

right OF way. These freight trains con-
sist of from ten to forty or more heav-
lily ladened cars and to withstand a mis-
judged shifting or a slippery rail there
Is placed at the street end a fimsy
bumper. totally inadequate. to meet the
emergency.
have seen several OF these bumpers
totally demolished by shifting cars and
many passengers and others can recall
the occasion when a freight car crossed
the electric tracks and tore the corner
Of the large brick building away, used
by the Government for storage.
I trust some notice will be given the
matter to see II the conditions do not
warrent an improvement.
