DARIUS

The neigh of horse made Darius
King of Persia, the six contending
powers for the throne agreeing among
themselves that the one whose horse
should neigh first should possess the
kingdom This ancient method Of
settling disputes among politicians
could be revived with profit today.
II our partisan factions and petty pol.
iticians could only settle their dis,
putes by the neigh of horse, the
bark of dog or the bray Of donkey,
it would be great blessing and would
give our citizens better opportunity
to pursue the vocations of industry
free from political strife.
Let those who pick political plums
by raising rows and who fash swords
dripping in the blood of industry un-
derstand that they cannot turn the
public forum into political arena and
by a clash of personal aspirations
still the hammer and stop the piow
and that their quarrels must be settled
In the back alleys OF civilization.

ed. The Burton amendment also con-
tanned the further direction to the en-
gineers to examine any other projects
heretofore authorized. but which on ex-
amina tion might show that further ap-
propriations are inadvisable.
As the result of this many smaller
streams, the pet projects Of Senators
and Representatives, may fail Of en-
gineer endorsement. The report on the
Missouri River recommends the cessation
of the annual appropriation Of s., COO 900

moving snags. The report further states
that the project can never improve navi-

in part for our great loss: the treaty
therefore. should not continue in the
same form. 1t is only just that the
American tariff concede US a reduction If
30 per cent on the duty paid on cigars
and cigarettes. on the specific as well
as on tie ad valorem duties~now paid,
also, that the duty on leaf tobacco and
its by-products be reduced 3 per cent.
All these reductions. according to our
calculations turn out to be less than
the advantages We have lost in the case
of sugar
The American government. SO jealous
for the neaIth Of the people. must realize
that a greater amount of Cuban tobacco
should be consumed there. because t
contains a very small quantity of nice
tine in comparison with the tobacco pro-
duced in the United States. In this re.
spect we will quote the scientific re-
view. The Lancet" of London, which
has recently published the results of the
experiments carried out in its laboratory
where they have obtained the sepa raticn
of said alkaloid and demonstrated that
the pure Havana cigar contains less
nicotine than any other. As general
rule in the Cuban tobacco only 0.S4 per
cent of nicotine is found whereas in the
Virginia tobacco there is more than 40
per cent of nicotine.
I'm brief. rhe conclusions Of The Ian
Gets chemists are these: First, that the
least injurious form of using tobacco IS
smoking pure cigars. thus confirming
popular experience; second. that the
selection of a cigar or cigarette is not
merely matter Of taste or price but
OF scientific Judgment, and that prefc =
ence, therefore. should be given to the
Havana tobacco"

SEEKS TO AID TRADE
Gabriel Carol. Inspector of Agricul-

Gabriel Carol, inspector of the de-
partment of agriculture of Cuba, is a
visitor in Washington, and while here
will urge upon members of Congress
and government officials the justice
of reciprocal commercial relations
more favorable to Cuban industries.
particularly the sugar and tobacco in
dustries.
Mr.. Carol said last night:
"On the 27th of December, 1908, the
commercial treaty between Cuba and
the United States went into force.
Undoubtedly the advantages obtained
by the Union are immense, inasmuch
as its commerce has increased out of
all proportion, due TO the Dement'S de-
rived by it's products through said
treaty. From 1902 to 1903 the Island
of Cuba imported So, 5,1l4.OO0 worth of
merchandise from the United States,
and from 1913 to 1914 S71.420.000.
In view of the friendly relations
existing between both countries. in
spired on our side by gratitude To the
people who so essentially contributed
to our independence, 1t is hlShly
gratifying to US that they should be
so benefited; but we must declare that
the advantages aCcruing to Cuba arc
only relatively important. and these
only in the case of our sugar and to-
bacco, since our expectation OF other
products is small.
Sugar, which constitutes the real
wealth of Cuba, had a discount of 20
per cent or the S1.6N5 on each quintal,
which was the duty fixed by the
United States From the lst OF March.
1914, the reduction of 25 per cent duty
became law, and Cuba thereafter paid
