gin of the harbor and which can be

1 have been surprised to find the
island so thickly populated. The Uni
ted States has population of about
only 20 per square mile, and this
would figure only 40 per square mile
IL we assumed one-half of our entire
country to be untillable. Considering
the available land in Canada, the pres
ent population there is at the rate of
only one or two persons per square
mile. The population of Porto Rico,
however, is nearly 800 per square
mile! The people are a mixture OF
Spanish, negro and Indian, race very
much like the Cubans, but more peace
full, having not been subjected to SO
much abuse.
The feeling toward Americans is not
much more friendly in Porto Rico than
in Cuba or South America. All of these
countries look upon us as intruders.
Even the Spaniards, who treated them
SO cruelty, are considered with more
respect than are Americans. Yet we
have done little differently than have
the English in their relations with
Jamaica, Trinidad, and with Barbe-
dos. The fact, however that we pre-
tend to stand for democracy probably
makes us appear as hypocrites in the
eyes of these people. Instead Of look
ing upon US as their liberators, they
feel that we have stolen their island.

He was ever urging the tribes to

there in council, the one ever advocat-

He failed in his mission to our people,
yet somehow my father liked him; per-
haps 1t was a pleasure to talk again
with one who knew Europe and the
late books. And the Englishman, hop
ing thus to finally win my father over
to his side, was most cordial. He
played part that he might keep my

Mr. Reimer, saying his Information
was only hearsay, mentioned the j. F..
Stanley Company
1lo was net questioned if 1t was
not true that the Standard Bitulithic
Company got all the contracts in
Newark. Mr.. Reimer said that was
not his understanding.
The committee again turned its at
tentlun 10 the construction of the
Pompton turnpike, in Essex county.
The witness said Colonel Edwin A.
Stevens, head of the State road de-
partment, had agreed to sign the con-
tract for the work. but after a con-
ference, presumably with Governor
Fielder, seemed to have changed his
mind, and so wrote the Essex county
authorities. The State road depart
ment now owes the county of Essex
about S150,000 Mr.. Reimer declared.
A State aid allotment of $50, 900 was
made for the Pompton turnpike and
about $t0O 900 for other work in Es-
sex. Mr.. Reimer told of a recent
conversation with the road commits
sioner, in which the subject of this
money was brought up. Mr.. Stevens,
he said, told him he was uncertain
where the State was going to get
the money.
The witnesses found fault with the
politically appointed road inspectors
in Essex county He mentioned spe-
cifc instances of inspectors on
Bloomfield avenue and Myrtle ave-
nue.. in Newark, when the witness
had asked for the appointment of
men other than those selected.
Middlesex County Engineer Alvin
b. Fox. of Perth Amboy, was called
to the stand late in the afternoon to
inform the committee of road building
in Middlesex. Mr.. Fox admitted rnat
the county paid sixty-nine cents for
Topeka mixture for d section of the
Roosevelt road 1.2 miles long. One
road in the county cost $4,000 for 3.9
miles. This unusual price, he said,
was due 10 the heavy ruts in the
highway that had to be brought to
grade.
Commissioner Stevens had refused
to assist the county with State aid
on the Highland Park -Metuchen
road because of lack of funds, he de-
clared. The committee brought out
the fact that the county proposed to
use warranite, at cost of S1.33
square yard, nearly twice as much
as was paid for the Topeka specifiea-
tions on the Roosevelt road. The

In Atlantic City, 1883 persons were

in Hackettstown, IT'S passed and 9S
rejected; in Sussex, 21S passed and
80 rejected; in Trenton, 2,7S2 passed
and 255 rejected
This table shows that the largest
number Of persons were examined in
Newark. Commissioner Lippincott
pointed out that to examine $4,000
persons in a year was placing a tre-
mendous strain upon the facilities of
his department, owing to the fact
that with the phenomenal increase
in business there was not q sufficient
number of inspectors to meet the
increasing demands.
The commissioner pointed out that
to hold an efficient examination it
was necessary that the examiners be
not hurried and that they be not
overwhelmed with work.
In the opinion of the department a
small examination fee should be
charged. the money derived from
such examination fee to be used for
the purpose of employing more in
spectors.
The commissioner pointed out that
on the basis of $4,000 persons ex-
amined last year, if fee of fifty
cents had been charged, it would
have amounted to s12,500; and eveh
il a fee of twenty-five cents had
Newark evening star and Newark advertiser., 1914-12-11

been charged for each person ex-
amined it would have amounted to
over $4,000.
This revenue would have allowed
the department at the present rate
to employ at least five additional in
spectors.
1t is hoped that this matter may
be brought before the Legislature
next year with view to placing the
examination on a more Self-sustain-
ing basis, as the commissioner be-
lleves that with an additional force
of inspectors the efficiency of the
general inspection work would be
largely increased, as well as the
work of examining applicants.

The activity of the market continues
seasonable. Not much, but little of
everything is being traded in continu-
ally. The favorable reports of the
present condition of the cigar leaf
crops are stimulating to the prospects
of very brisk trading. If the crops
should escape the dreaded hail and the
August droughts which are liable to
cause shed burn, the market will have
to deal in plentiful stock of exceptional
quality. These prospects conciliate even
for temporary slackness. From Cuba
our letter in this weeks issue gives an
elaborate review of the Partido crop
which will no doubt be helpful to an
early trading in that type. The old
stock in the local Havana market is,
however, by no means neglected. Rem
edios especially are in good demand.
The fall is looked to as the saving
period for all concerned. Nickel lines
appear to be prospering more right
now than they were couple of months
ago and not few ten-cent brands have
shown themselves susceptible to the
strengthening influence which is surely,
if slowly, permeating the cigar indus

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN. WIS, July 81, 1914.


There is improvement to be noted in
the condition of the growing tobacco
crop since rains have quite generally
fallen in most of the growing sections
during the week, dispelling fear of a
drouth. However there is a good deal
of unevenness to be be noted in the
fields throughout the districts, more
than would hardly be expected from a
crop that was gotten into the fields in
excellent order. So much rainy wealth
er following the planting tending to
produce root rot, is attributed the
cause. The early set tobacco is
being topped quite generally now.
while the later fields still need consid-
erable cultivation to advance a salts
factory growth.
Some work of rehandling is still un-
der way at the warehouses and stem
ming operations furnish employment
for considerable labor.
The market for old leaf furnishes no
news worthy of mention, trade being
confined to small orders.
The shipments out of storage reach
only about $50 cases from this market
to all points since last report.

New England.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, July Fl, 1914.
The Connecticut valley tobacco crop
never promised better at this season
than it does at the present writing
Without any disposition to exaggerate,
it may be stated that the largest and
finest crop ever grown in New England
would seem to hinge more upon the
cure and fermentation months hence
than upon it's progress between now
and harvest time.
Early set shaded tobacco is almost
ready to prime and the sun-grown crop
has attained fine stand, the plants in
many fields being two feet or more in
height. A large part of the crop is in
a position to ripen without drop more
of rain Rain has fallen so abundantly
that the subsoil contains an unusual
amount of moisture for July. Bright,
sunny days were lacking last week, but
tobacco plants thrived in the intense
humidity which made life miserable for
human beings.
Any estimates of yield per acre and
total yield in cases are pure guesswork
at this stage, but the statement that
the 1914 crop promises to be the larg
est ever grown as regards quantity and
the equal Of any in respect to quality is
seemingly sure of verifcation The
buyer who does not size up the New
England situation early and lay his
plans to annex part of the 1914 crop
is neglecting a golden opportunity.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES

Local rains early in the week that
very generally covered the tobacco
growing sections of the state came IN
the nick of time and has proven the
salvation of the early portion of the
tobacco crop, which was beginning to
show the pinching effects of week of
extremely hot weather and drouth.
Cooler weather that has followed, with
the supply of moisturea reinforced, the
fields now being topped will have a
chance for a spread of leaf to their
usual size and give satisfactory crop.
So much depends upon weather condi-
tions at this stage of the growing crop
that prolonged drouth with hot dry
ing winds like that of a week ago
might mean thousands of dollars to the
growers for every day it continued.
But fortunately rain came in time to
relieve the situation for the present
and giving almost sufficient moisture
to carry the early fields to maturity.
The later tobacco is also given boost
that will help send it along at an amaz-
ing pace.
