CONDITIONS IN SPAIN

G. Harold Powell, manager of the has laid before the congressional com mittee now studying the tariff some very pertinent figures, among other facts giving the following regarding labor conditions in Valencia, Spain:
 In the spring of 1911 orange pick CTS were paid from 30 to 40 cents a day in the Valencia province in Spain; boys who helped in carrying the fruit, 15 to 20 cents; women wrappers, 15 cents; women graders, 20 cents; wom- en packers, 20 to 30 cents; carpenters, for making boxes, 60 cents; foreman in large packing house, S1, and or dinary mans labor in the packing houses, 40 to 50 cents a day. Mi. Frazer, the American consul at Valen- cia, estimates the average wages of men at 50 cents and women at 20 cents, and states that in the routine agricultural operations, such as prun- ing, irrigating, fertilizing, etc., the amount of work accomplished is prob ably at least equal to the average in California
 It is certainly evident from these figures that the lemon growers of Cal ifornia cannot but suffer from compe- tition with such conditions, and this is made more manifest from the fur ther statement that the freight rate from Valencia to New York is 30 cents against S4 cents from California to New York. He figures the average present tariff of $102 box as about qualizing the cost of laying down fruit in New York.
 That such conditions should call for a protective tariff is certain, and yet the Examiner does not believe that a modification of the present tariff of 11a cents pound implies disaster.
 We are almost to the completion of IlIO OdndI, dlu WIOh IhO Odhoi is completed the freight rate on or anges and lemons should be reduced practically to the level of trans-Atlan- tic rates, say cutting 40 cents box off the cost of delivery.
 The efficiency of labor is an ele- ment MT. Powell has not discussed, and comparing the average American citrus fruit laborer with the average Spanish laborer the advantage is over whelmingly with the former.
 The Examiner has confidence in the permanency of the California lemon industry and does not agree with all those newspapers which claim that tariff regulation will be worse than the frost.

A LITTLE CORNER ALL THEIR
 OWN

Representatives Hammond of Min nesota and Pepper of Iowa, tried, true and trusted Democrats from normally Republican states, are at the head of ''get together, boys" movement, es- pecially adapted te the needs of the Mississippi Valley partisans, who will try to get full share of the patronage and glory that falls to the majority party. Hammond and Pepper are wig orous fellows, and, like most of the Northern Democrats, are not content to remain at the tail of the procession, while the Southern members carry the banner at the head of the parade, and get all the "pork" when the stock train comes into the yard, simply be cause of seniority" Over in the Sen ate end there is another little volcano to which fuse is being carefully laid, with the idea that the progressive Democrats" will come down the pole just ahead instead of way behind those who claim the fine places because they were there first" For the first time in history the Democracy of the North is in actual control,

IS BLYTHE BECOMING CYNICAL

Samuel Blythe, the political writer of the Saturday Evening Post, is be- ing accused of becoming cynical. Well, perhaps, too close association with politicians for long period of time has had tendency to drive his more youthful ideas of the altruisn> of such men from his mind. If Blythe is losing confidence in politi- clans he is in company with a great share of the people, and he certainly is in a position to speak with au- thority.

FASHIONS DEMAND FOR AGONY

San Francisco Argonaut: The fash upon to face grave disillusionment. They have been deceived in the nature of the feathers that adorn their head gear and their attitude under the reve- lation in question will be waited with some curiosity. Hitherto they have believed that the so-called airgette, so imperatively demanded by the mode of the moment, was torn from the head of the living heron just after poses of mating, and that the young birds thus deprived of the parental care were left to perish, miserably of hunger and cold. A realization of the agony inflicted in the search for the precious plumes naturally invested the airgette with a peculiar value in the eyes of women, and even the most stringent laws have been unable to suppress a decoration that had the charm of so great cost of pain and death.
 But now comes the distressing reve- lation that the greater number of these plumes are not airgettes at all. They are made of the feathers of the com mon and plebian rooster, who has no particular recognition of paternal re- responsibilities and whose demise is sudden, painless and unregretted. Now, what will women do under these cir cumstances? The airgette, no longer associated with animal agony, has lost it's value It has been cheapened and degraded to the level of the farmyard. Obviously, it has lost it's decorative rights and must be discarded. But what can take it's place?
 Fortunately, the airgette has rival in the plumage of the aibatross. Ac- cording to the report of the National Association of Audubon societies, the unfortunate albatross is able to com ply with the conditions necessary to the favor of fashion. These birds are caught upon Layson island, a United States reservation, imprisoned in cages and allowed to die of starvation Tn this way the fat disappears and the feathers take on certain luster and sheen much admired by the feminine eye, and produced at price in torture that should satisfy the most fastidious devotee of fashion. It only remains for us to hope that no substitute for the albatross plumes will be discov- cred. as in the case of the airgette, and that women will not be forced to search for some new decoration that shall comply with the requisite con- ditions of blood and murder.

COLONEL GOETHALS, THE COLI
 ATH OF PANAMA

Whenever one wants to say nice nice about somebody, Colonel Goeth- als, who went down to Panama after two or three of the country's great est engineers had fallen down, and got away with the job, is generally picked on. The Colonel has captivated all the Congressional parties, the newspaper men, and the present administration, and now he has been over to Trenton, New Jersey, to talk things over with Governor Wilson, who has tentative ly agreed to visit the Isthmus of Pan- anna before the waters are poured forth into the locks next fall.

WEST GETS CHEAPER SUGAR

That the West is now getting its sugar cheaper than the Atlantic sea board in striking reversal of the con- dition when the trust refineries held undisputed sway over the sugar mar ket and prices for the rest of the coun- try were made on the basis of New York quotations, is one of the inter- .esting points brought out in the sugar tariff hearings before the Ways and Means Committee of the House of Representatives
 This favorable situation of the con- sumers between the AIlekhanies and the Rockies, it was explained, is due to the fact that there are now over seV- enty~beet sugar factories actively competing with one another.
 Furthermore, it is asserted on the

GOOD ROADS BOOSTERS IN IOWA

From every part of the country comes an ever increasing demand for government participation in road-mak- ing, and there is at the national capi- tai permanent organization for the purpose of fostering the good roads movement.
 President Taft, Governor Wilson and Colonel Roosevelt have given en- couragement to the Congressmen who have been fighting for the movement in the two legislative branches.
 The automobilists are doing effec- tive work in promoting good roads. Recently, a remarkable automobile race was run acress the state of Iowa. The contest was between two automo- piles, over the states two most famous highways-the Great White Way and the "River-to-River Road" These two roads are the leading contenders for the route of the Ocean-to-Ocean Highway, extending from New York to San Francisco The winning car, an Oakland roadster, driven by Don Nc Cure, made an average speed of for ty-two miles per hour for the entire run from Davenport to Council Bluffs, distanc. $50 miles. The race was from the banks of the Mississippi to the banks of the Missouri rivers.
 Prominent newspaper men of Iowa are leading the movement for better roads; former Senator Lafayette Young, editor of the Des Moines Cap ital, is the founder of the River-to-Riv- CT road, and Roy A. Stacey, editor of the Adair News, having originated and established the Great White Way" the term implying that the route can be covered by the light of one mid winter days sun-that an average of torty-two miles per hour could be made across Iowa has aroused much favora- ble comment.
