LEVITATION IN COFFEE.

Whatever comes Of the federal govern
ment's suit TO interfere with the opera
tons Of the international coffee valoriza-
ton pool, both political economists and
mere coffee consumers will find much TO
wonder at as testimony is elected show
Ing how in the coffee industry the poor
old law Of supply and demand was
caught mapping and suspended in mid
air. Gravitation brought the price Of
coffee down. and the valorizers are sup
posed TO have resOrted TO levitation TO
put it up again.
It appears from Washington accounts
Of the hearing before the House Com
mittee on Banking and Currency last
Thursday that few years ago, when the
production of coffee in Sac Paulo was
only 100000 bags year, the price Il
pound was GA TO Z cents. Too free
competition was impoverishing the coffee
producers, and the valOriZation scheme
was invented as a means Of suppress
ing competition and creating stable
market. So firm has been the stabil-
ization effected that the production has
risen to 100000 bags a year and the
price a pound has increased to 10 or IA
cents. Apparently by waving the magic
wand Of cooperative regulation or ap-
plying what IS sometimes called in this
country the golden rule Of brotherhood
among producers, the blight cast on the
coffee industry by the unfeeling law OF
supply and demand was neutraliZed and
the planters enjoyed prosperity and
security which they had seldom known
before.
To economists and coffee drinkers,
however, the most mysterious incident
of the hearing was the assurance given
by the chief witness. Mr. Sielcken, that
the deviation effected was really not a
deviation at all. He said
I suppose this committee has got the
impression from its counsel that this
valorlzation scheme has put up the price
OF coffee. . My opinion is that the
price Of coffee Is not affected by the val
orization scheme at all.
Competition was suspended and prices
rose. Yet the public Is told that they
would have risen anyway without valOri-
cation. II so, what was the use Of the
experiment? Has the law Of supply and
demand become so docile that on mere
hint Of inconvenience from the producer
it will proceed to suspend itself?

FIGHTING TUBERCULOSIS.

There can be no further doubt Of GER
tain good result of the widespread cam
paign against tubercular diseases. Sta
tistics cleaned from the federal census
reports show that in the registration area
OF the United States during the last de-
cennial period there was a decrease in
the death rate from such diseases Of
1877 per cent. The yearly average of
deaths from tuberculosis decreased in
number from 1860 in each million Of
the population to 1908 in each million.
At the same time the general death rate
from all diseases and causes declined
only o. per cent, or from 1850 TO 1850
in each million. That means that the
mortality from tuberculosis has been re-
duced at almost twice as great ratio
as that from all causes, and that at the
present time about $1,000 lives are be-
ing saved each year which ten years
ago would have been lost to the white
plague"
To what extent that saving will be
further extended, Fastening the complete
extinction Of tubercular diseases, is an
interesting matter Of speculation. 1t Is
scarcely possible that the 1871 per cent
already gained represents merely the
margin Of preyentable deaths, or Of cur
able cases, and that now practically all
has been done in that direction which
can be done. That, it Is true, has been
the experience with some other diseases.
It is not TO be believed that is so with
tuberculosis. however, for number Of
reasons. There IS nothing IN the gen.
eral character Of the cures which have
been effected to suggest that they are
thus limited or that the number Of them
could not be greatly increased.
On the contrary, the conviction is
growing among the most judicious OBJ
servers that what has been done gives
the strongest assurance OF the possibility
OF doing very much more. 1t is also to
be noted that as yet the field Of effort
is limited. Only small part Of the
population has been reached, and only
a small minority Of those suffering from
tuberculosis have been subjected TO
treatment. The extension Of present
methods to the whole field Of need would
enormously increase the good results
There is also good reason for expecting
that methods Of treatment will become
more efiicaciOus.
There is thus ample encouragement in
these statistics and in attendant cir
cumstances for the persistent and enor-
getic prosecution of the campaign. SO
far as the official part of the work Ii COLI

THE POWDY SPECTATOR AT BAIL
GAHES

The refusal OF the Detroit baseball
team to play unless the suspension Of
Outfelder Cobb is rescinded brings about
a crisis I'm the efforts OF the big leagues
to suppress rowdyism on the field. Pres
ident Johnson of the American League
cannot afford to yield. If he does all his
work for decent and sportsmanlike be-
havior on the part Of the players under
his control will be wasted. lie will never
again he able to punish a player for
rOwdy conduct without facing the dan
ger OF strike. Every lover OF clean
sport will hope to see the present insub-
ordination OF the Detroit team stcrnly
dealt with.
But something more than this Is nee
essary. The campaign against rowdy-
ism hitherto has been too one-sided On
no other ground can the support Of Cobb
by his teammates, even at the risk Of
losing their standing In the baseball
world, and the sympathy with the strik-
ing Tigers" shown by other baseball
teams be satisfactorily explained. The
baseball players probably feel it to be
unjust that spectators are free to insult
and abuse them as much as they please,
while they themselves, If they are golded
into resentment, are suspended and fined.
Outfielders like Cobb suffer particularly
from the attentions OF the rowdy spec
tatOr with his verbal assaults. The dis
orderly spectator should go along with
the dsorderly ball player. Owners Of
ball fields should police their grounds
sufficiently to protect players from foul
mouthed attacks. 1t Is not good sports
manship for the public to insult visiting
players, and 1t Is not good business for
baseball managers to permit it TO be
done. Only a small fraction Of those
who go to see ball games indulge in such
attacks upon the players, and the rest
of the spectators would be glad to see
that fraction elected. This incident
should awaken baseball owners to the
necessity Of suppressing the trouble
makers in the bleachers.

"SOTTHPAWS."

Ordinary human beings, realizing their
inability 10 rise beyond the average or
human progress. have always devoted
much speculation 10 the causes which

attachments and superhuman achieve

favorite intended to bestir the ordinary
man to put forth his hest efforts in emu
lation Of the superman. had II that genius
was but the capacity for taking Infinite
pains. Another, akin TO the fine old theo-
logical doctrine Of predestinatiOn, averred
that the genius was born, not made.
Now comes a new one for consideration
by mere man and superman alike. lt
maintains that the genius is born, not
made but that he must he born with

must he born left-handed.

remembered that Alfred Anson's brother
William was in New York in the early
part of last year to take part in the inter-
national polo tournament.

their intention was. and conclude as fol-
lows:
There Is reason for thinking that they
and their contemporaries who discussed ana

that American commerce would be sub

lions.
So bold an Interpretation, adverse TO our
country's interests and rights. should have
strorg support. As a matter of fact. only
one Interpretation can be had OF this treaty,
and that IS that the United States govern
ment may make any regulations, so long
as It treats all other nations upon terms
OF entire equality. Why our people must
continually have treaty interpreted from

ALIEN INSANE.

Investigation by special commission
appointed by Governor Dix has disclosed
the fact that at the Hudson River State
Hospital New York State IS caring for
four hundred insane foreigners mt an
annual cost Of $4,000. In addition
there are more than one hundred not
legally citizens of this state, whose
maintenance costs $4,000 TO that ex-
tent this asylum Is Overcrowded. I'm
fortunately this is not an isolated case.
Figures recently compiled by the state
authorities show that this state is car
ing for about thirteen thousand insane
of foreign birth, or Al per cent Of the
total number Of inmates IN It's aSylums,
while in the institutions for the Grim
fnal insane the percentage Of aliens is
even higher. IL was estimated that the
annual cost OF these unfortunates was
$344S, 706.

THE COAL STRIKE SETTLEMENT.

THE COAL STRIKE SETTLEMENT.
The DISPUTE between the anthracite coal
miners and their employees ought to nave
been settled without suspension or Work.
Millions in wages have been lost, as well
as millions in profits and in freight rates,
and millions have been taken out or the
pockets Of consumers, both Of anthracite
and bituminouS coal, In order 10 secure
so small a result as a 5l2 per cent In
crease in wages and the establishment
Of grievance committees. The miners
were never in position to strike, as
their president candidly told the conVen-
ton, explaining the poverty and weak
ness of the union both in men and
money. And the mine operators appar-
emily were never unwilling to grant con-
cessions IN order to avoid strike. Yet
it has been impossible for the two TO get
together without seven weeks suspen-
sion Of work. great financial loss TO all
concerned and the danger Of great dis
turbance Overhanging the country. Such
a condition is industrial bsrbarism.
The chief gain Of the miners Is an In
crease Of wages. which public opinion
conceded from the outset to be necessary.
On its face the increase Is 10 per cent,
but the abolition of the sliding scale, by
which miners received additional wages
for every advance in the price Of coal
above a certain fixed sum, makes the
actual increase much less. In the min
ing districts the actual increase is said
TO he only 512 per cent. In addition to
this the establishment Of grievance COM
mittees may give certain strength to
the union which 1t has not now. But
the system under which the employers
would virtually withhold from pay en-
velopes the union dues of their miners,
which was regarded as essential TO the
unions maintenance, Is not granted
The term Of the new agreement IS made
four years, possibly so that future dis
putes, like the one just settled, will fall
in Presidential years.
The question that will interest the
public most now is how much the coal
operators will increase the price Of coal.
on the plea that it is necessary In order
to recOmpenSe themselves for the addi-
tiOnal cost Of getting it out OF the
ground. The miners may hope to make
up lost wages and the operators lost
profits, but the public, already out Of
pocket through this needless suspension
Of work, will be forced TO pay increased
costs for the future. and, if it does moth
ing to protect itself probably also to
add to the profits Of the industry. That
was the history of what followed the
great coal strike Of 1902. The public al
ways pays. How much will 1t pay this
fine?
