the train arrives" No such items have
appeared in any of the newspapers. They
would be greeted with laughter from all
over the country. The popularity cons-
mon to all of the unscientihc and ira
tional cults and fads is that in times of
real peril and need, they have nothing

when death rides on the wind and waters,
the people want the men of scientific
training and experience, of cool judgment
and steady nerves, who can carry to them

Cane and Cane Sugar

The Secretary of Commerce pre-
sents the agricultural and factory
costs of sugar in Louisiana in the
three years of 1909, 1910 and 1911.
The average cost of producing one
ton of cane harvested for the factory
was 81 in 1911, $4.30 in 1910 and S4.15
in 1909. In the factories the average
cost of production per ton of cane
ground was $5.S4 in 1911, $5.49 in
1910 and $5.65 in 1909. The average
yield of sugar per ton of cane ground
was 193 pounds in 1911, 173 epounds
in 1910 and 156 pounds in 1903.
The average cost of production per
pound of sugar was 4.99 cents in 1911,
3.72 cents in 1910 and 1852 cents in
1909.
The factory having the lowest cost
in 1909 of 2.69 cents per pound had a
yield of 1873 pounds of sugar per ton
of cane. It's cost of cane at factory was
but S3.62 and its total factory cost
was $4.93 per ton of cane. Its cost
ofrepairs and maintenance was below
the average and its general efficiency
better.
A comparison of Cuban and certain
Louisiana factories for five years
shows an average yield in Cuba of
229.3 pounds per ton of cane and
1919 pounds in Louisiana, differ
ence in yield Of 67.4 pounds of sugar
per ton of cane. The sucrose in ex-
traction juice was 16 per cent in Cuba
and about 11.5 per cent in Louisiana.
These facts are interesting in view
OF the coming discussion of the duty
on sugar, and if they are kept in mind
one cannot be misled by unfounded
statements. The entire investigation
was of an official nature and the fig
ures are undoubtedly trustworthy. But
after all Louisiana contributes only
81 per cent of the worlds cane sugar.

Postmaster Primaries

Postmaster General Burleson. says
he will not recognize a popular selec-
ton in a primary held even under a
state law as OBLIGATORY in the selec-
tion of a postmaster in given case.
The Postmaster General, however,
says that the choice of the primary
would have due consideration before
an appointment is made.
1t is very certain that republicans In
republican town would not be per-
mitted to select republican for post
master, and the final decision rests
with the Postmaster General.
Between the proposed primaries and
the trend towards civil service the
postmasters do not know exactly
where they "are' at" and they will
have to await the slow processes of
reform before their tenure can be
determined. But in the meanwhile Mr..
Burleson will continue to make ap-
pointments as his predecessors in Of
flee had done from time out of mind.

Porter Charlton's Last Appeal

Way back in 1910 Porter Charlton,
member of a rich New York family,
cruelty murdered his wife on their
honeymoon at Lake Como, in Italy
The Italian government has ever
since demanded his return to that
country for trial, and the Taft gov
ernment did order his deportation for
that purpose. Charlton, however, took
an appeal to the United States su-
preme court, and this appeal has just
been argued.
The case is one of those which
demonstrate there is in this country
one law for the rich and one for the
poor. Had Charlton been without
friends or money he would have been
extradited long ago. He has already
secured three years Of delay and the
end is not yet in sight. There was
no decision by the court when the

much. In a membership of over 2OoO
there were few indeed who would mind

spirit and cared for banquets. I have
heard three or four men say that they
did not buy ticket for the banquet

be tiresome. These men would not have
come to the banquet if the price had been
only so cents. What We need Is move

case was argued, and there may not
be one in a considerable time, for
Charlton was ably defended and every
effort was put forth to save him from
trial in Italy.
No one has any reason for antici-
pating an unfair trial in Italy. All are
willing his case should be heard there
on its merits and demerits-all except
Charlton himself. He claims he was
crazy when he committed the act, and
Italy probably does not take much
stock in pleas of emotional insanity.

Mothers Pension Bill

The new law of Ohio is not unlike
the new law of New Jersey, or the law
that the New York legislature is con-
sidering. The Ohio bill provides for
pensions of $15 month to dependent
widows with one child under IA, and
to mothers with one child under ID
whose husbands are helpless or in
prison, or who have abandoned their
families. There is an extra pension of
81 month for each additional child
under Ia years.
The pioneer law is that of Illinois
which has been in operation long
enough to place 1900 children of school
age under the pensions provided foi
worthy mothers. 1t is claimed in Illi-
nois that the pension law is tax
payers money saver. The cost of a
child under the pension system is $6.75
a month in Illinois, as against more
than $11 month for the institutional
care of each such child. 1t is better
for the mother and the child and saves
money to the taxpayers.
1t is expected that the New York
bill will soon become a law. Pennsyl-
vania, Utah and Missouri have also
enacted mothers pension laws, and
Congress is urged to apply such law
to the District of Columbia and to the
outlying provinces.

IN uRING the recent period of dis
aster and havoc ordinary events
~ were relegated to the back pages
of the newspapers. Every issue of the
dailies was full of heartrendlng and pa
thetic stories of disasters, storms and
floods. The people responded to the call
for help with the magnanimity and
promptness which characterize the ma
came the call for food, clothing and shell
ter. But before this there came call
for physicians to minister to the wound
ed, the sick and the dying. From al
most every afflicted locality soon came
the same statement, "A special train
carrying volunteer physicians, nurses,
dressings and medical supplies is on the
way to the scene of Disaster
So 1t is after every great calamity. The
first men on the scene are physicians,
performing their sacred work of saving
life and relieving the suffering This hap
pens so constantly as to be an accepted
occurrence. No one expresses any sur
prise. On the contrary, surprise would
be aroused only if the nearest available
physicians ever failed to respond in num-
bers equal to the need. Leaving their
own work. volunteering without hesitation
for the hardest service, they toll often
for days and nights without interlnis-
sion, without asking for or expecting
compensation. Instances are not hard to
find. Following the recent cyclone In
Omaha, one survivor writes: IT have per-
sonal knowledge of physicians whose
homes were destroyed, yet the moment
they knew their families were not in

calamity in which the services of physi-
clans were not instantly offered, without
money and without price.
At such times what becomes of the in
Vulnerable sects and cults which, under
ordinary conditions, are constantly trying
to usurp the place of the scientific medi-
cal profession and undermine the conf
dence of the public? Apparently they sink
into obscurity and silence. When the
emergency arises what have they to
offer? Suppose the dispatch from Ohio
last week had read: "A special train con-
tanning 100 osteopaths is on the way to
Dayton. All of the sufferers will be
given spinal adjustments as soon as the
train arrives" Or, Vt is reported that

Suhsfttufe for Bone black

substitute for bone black, which is ex-
| tensively used in the process of sugar
refining, the rectifying of whisky and the

market" said man who keeps up with
certain branches of commercial chem
istry.
The enormous increase in the con-
sumption of sugar and syrups has made

charcoal, greater than the supply. IL
used to be that bones from the packing
houses supplied all the raw material
necessary for bone black used in this
country, but now bones are being
shipped from Argentina and Europe to

According to an article in the Ameri-
cana Encyclopedia, Animal charcqkA is
prepared either by heating the boneSin

coal is decomposed in gas works. or,
which is the better plan, in small cast
iron pots piled up in kiln. The pots
are placed above each other with their
mouths in contact, the mouths being
iuted together with loan. Two of the
pots together hold about so pounds
of bones, which should previously be
freed of all fatty, heshy and tendin-
Gus matters, as the quality of the char
coal is in this case improved. The
bones lose, on the average, about half
their weight in the process of caleina-

grains varying from the size of tur-
nipseed to that of peas Liquids are
oecolorized by passing them through a
filter or bed of thin granular charcoal,
which absorbs by mechanical action the
coloring matter held in solution. The
filtering beds used in sugar refining
are sometimes of the depth of so feet.
After the liquor has flowed for GER

pletely saturated, and its purifying ac-
tion ceases. 1t has then to be restored

Is effected by various means, such as
washing with water or with weak hy-
drochloric acid, long exposure to air and
moisture, or heating to redness. The
last is the best method, and is the one
almost invariably adopted, the charcoal
being heated in iron pipes, fire-clay
chambers, or inrotating cylinders
"On account of the great demand for
bone black the price has been above

1t is now quoted at about $3.50. Tho
substitute, which has been discovered
by German chemist, is made from a
deposit lin certain coal veins IN Indiana

and 32 per cent fixed carbon. 1t is
now being thrown out on the dump, but

formula has tested it in a laboratory

A sunday Concert Prohibited

Several hundred music lovers were dis
appointed yesterday afternoon when they
reached the Jefferson theatre and found
that Judge Lane, on complaint of a West
End church, had issued an order to the
police prohibiting the concert by Memoli
and his band, which had been widely aa-
vertised
Mr.. Memoli had prepared a very choice
programme which included two numbers

prominent citizen. 1T was a sore disa I'D.

that there was to be no commercial side
to the enterprise so far as the theatre
management was concerned. The music

had to be rented and the newsna peu-

THE WORK OF BERNARD SHAW


John Jay Chapman, In Harper's Weekly.
Shaw is sincere playwright, and when
We consider the fluffy mediocrity of the
old plays, and of the old style acting
which Shaw's drama supplanted, We cam
not help being grateful to him. He has
revolutionized English acting He has
produced actors who, within their rather
narrow limits, are as good as French
actors Shaw is a sincere artist; he
writes for himself and to satisfy HIM
self. He has thus rediscovered one of
the psychological secrets of art. The
way to interest the world is for a man to
write for himself. Shaw, as a man, is in
derested in the contrasts and incongrui-
ties of ethical theory which modern per-
haps alb life shows. His mind is sats-
fled when he has apprehended the ir-
reconcilable conflicts in the world of NOR
ality. As an artist he is satisfied when
he has successfully presented one or some
of these conflicts. He really seeks moth
ing beyond this in his art; and yet the
fact that he came into notice as a social
dStdlof ildS lcll It's HedNy trace OH MS
art; 1t makes him preach.
Whether it be preaching or poetry. how
ever Shaw's work has got him the at
tention of the wS3'ld. Any group of edu-
Gated people anywhere will be thrown
into excited discussion by almost any
bit of Shaw's work. This shows not only
that Shaw is a very powerful and re-
markable being, but also that his work
bears peculiar and vital relation to the
passing moment. Some people think
that Shaw's purpose is to amuse the
fools and to bewilder the thinkers. My
own belief is that Shaw wants merely to
get heard of and to make money. Social
ism and playwriting are his rattle. When
he was young and poor he agitated it
loudly; and now that he Is rich and FAM
Gus he knows how to do nothing else
except to work this rattle. YosEisannot

kindliest of men. But he is a 0n with

position something is left out. You cam

and have had them for many years. In
some cities theatrical performances are
allowed on Sunday I would be opposed
to a dramatic performance on Sunday,

tion that has a law prohibiting Sunday

certs are paid for. partly by city appro-

order against Sunday concerts under
reasonably conservative conditions
