Santo Domingo. or Haiti. is the sec
ond in size OF the West Indian islands
and is the most fertile island, prob
ably in the world. certainly having the
greatest diversity of climate. AT the
same time Haiti is the most backward
in achievement OF all the islands Of
the Greater Antilles. This is due TO
long period of almost unceasing polit-
ical disturbance and revolution. which
in turn. il is said, is caused by nat
ural Typographical conditions largely.
Haiti is divided into small and iso-
lated communities by a succession of
impassabl mountain barriers. AS a
writer puts il: The horizontal area

PUNCTUREs OUR ADMIRATION.

on April It'll, commenting on the
local option elections in Michigan,
we quoted a statement credited by our
informant TO T. NJ. Gilmore. president
of the National Model License league,
in which he is supposed to have said:
ITO save the business we must
get rid of the saloon"
Since then we have received letters
from Pres't Gilmore himself. from
A. II. Woodson, publicity manager of
the league, and now from G. r. Wash
burne. secretary, each and all alleg-
ing misuse. or misconstruction % the
remark. To Offset the previor, Ibli-
cation they ask reproductic Of col
umn typewriter letter discussing any
thing and everything pertaining to
prohibition from Maine TO California,
with a mere incidental reference to
the quotation itself-evidently en-
ployed merely as an excuse to hang
the other onto.
We think we can relieve Pres't Gill
more Of any bad" light in which ne
may have been placed by our alleged
misuse" of the quotation-in less
space and perhaps with greater en-
phasis. Assuming that his remark
has been "misconstrued" it devoives
upon US to apologize for having cred
tied him with SO much good sense. lie
isn't the wiseacre that we thought he
was.
ON the contrary he falls back on the
old chestnut, asserting that re was
finding fault only with the "law-vio-
lating" saloons-the saloons that are
decidedly the rule. with only a few
exceptions. wherever the saloon is
permitted to exist. The exceptions
run very mainly to those communities
where the vigilance of city administra-
tions manage to clamp on the lid"
and semi-keep it there-while the en-
tire liquor element and their friends
proceed 10 damn the officials and
threaten to cut their political throats
To talk about getting rid OF the
"law-violating saloon or just to get
rid Of the saloon" is well-nigh a dis
tinction without a difference; that is
insofar as concerns those saloons that
respect and obey the law out of a
wholesome sense Of good citizenship.

that a great many people, since the
war began at least. have been living
from hand TO mouth buying as little
as they could.
Now that everyone seems more
cheerful. a great many people are GO
ing TO find themselves much in need of
goods OF all kinds, clothing, home fur
nishings, business necessities. 1t is
probable that the average household
buys food a little less literally during
period of dull business. But now
collections are better, and everyone
feels less called on for cramping econ
omies.
There is every reason to expect a
good retail business for the rest of the
current season. People viii buy more
freely, feeling that in view of past
economies they can afford to do so.

Will get the business. The time has
gone by when the public will hunt out

seek trade.
Then as the consumer buys, the
merchant who sells must replenish his
stock. the wholesaler and jobber is
patronized, thence the manufacturer,
and finally labor is put back to work
and has more money to spend with
the merchant. 1t is the cycle of trade
at its work.

General Scott
Knows How to
Pacify Indians

WASHINGTON. - Your brother
wants to see you" That was the mes
sage which induced Bi-zo-She, chief
Of the Navajoes, to ride 100 miles to
confer with Gen. Hugh l.. Scott chlet
of staff of the United States army.
At the request of Sec'y of War Car
rison Gen. Scott had undertaken the
mission of stilling the revolt among
the Piute Indians of Utah after the
state authorities confessed failure and
appealed TO the war department.
. Gen. Scott had made it condition
OF his going that he would be permit
ted to summon some or his Navajo
friends TO assist him in the difficult
task Sec'y Lane of the inferior de-
partment. gave the permission.
Years ago Gen. Scott had quel!ed
an uprising OF the NavajOes, and the
chiefs of that tribe were SO impressed
with the fairness of his dealing with
them that they swOre him undying
friendship.
So when Gen. Scott was assigned 10
the duty of quelling the revolt among
the Piutes il occurred TO him that the
best way TO proceed would be 10 have
the big chief of the Navajoes go along
with him 10 assure the Piutes that he
was a man TO be trusted.
An Indian runner was sent 10 the
camp of Bi-Zo-She TO inform him of
Gen Scott's desire to confer with
him.
But the Indian runner. knowing
the relations between Bi-Zo-She and
Gen. Scott. did not tell Bi-Zo-She that
the chief OF staff OF the United States
army had sent for him, but merely:
Your brother wants 10 see you.
And that was enough for Bi-Zo-She.
Without further question he ordered
his horse saddled. ratiOns provided
and set out on the long journey 10 find
out what his brother wanted Of
him.
When he arrived and was greeted
by Gen. Scott with thanks for his
great kindness in coming SO promptly
Bi-Zo-She said with Indian jbrevity:
My brother has sent for me. What
can / do for my BROTHER
Gen. Scott told him what he wished
him 70 do.
Bi-Zo-She demurred. 1t was a dan
gerous mission. He thought shey both
would be killed. The Piutes were a
bad people when aroused
Gen. Scott pleaded with him TO un-
dertake the mission as an act OF
friendship for him
4 viii go on one condition" he
said.
Gen. Scott asked what the condition
was
THAT If we are both killed | will be
buried by the side Of my brother"
And so 1t was agreed.
They were not killed. Their mis-
sion was a complete success. and
peace was restored in Utah. And now
the Piutes also regard Gen. Scott as a
brother.
For a grizzled old warrior. Gen.
Scott has a truly marvellous faculty
for making peace.
In his time he has been sent on Il
missions similar TO that to the Piutes
| He has never failed.

/ bracing practically the whole laboring

When he reached the town the au-
thorities called ON him and told him
1 they were sorry he had come because
/ IL was certain he could accomplish
/ nothing by persuasion and his failure
\ would inlure his prestige

SIGNS OF PROSPERITY.

There is general agreement among
business and financial authorities that
business is making a decided improve
ment. Last years good crops have
flooded the west withtmoney. and the
favorable crop outlook for 1918
spreads still more hope and cheer.
The United States is making money

table war orders. And the fact that
the war seems unlikely 10 continue
for many months bids fair TO lift the
embargo that has prevailed in cotton
and other lines OF trade. Signs OF
Prosperity" presented by The News
Times during the past couple of weeks
testify 10 these conditions.
That being the case. many forced
economies in the daily life Of the peo-
pie must be coming 20 an end. The
effect Of any such depression as this
country has experienced since last
Aug. 1. is very widespread. even as
regards communities and individuals

able and productive motion. All the
underlying conditions are good. The
trouble in the cotton belt has vanish
ed because the prices being paid for
the staple offer fair profit to the
farmers and enable them to meet
their obligations and TO prepare for
the next season. The west and mid
die west have abundant prosperity
from the active demand and the high
prices for grain. There is plenty of
money ready to respond to all legit-
innate demands. The vague, paralyz-
ing fear of some underlined calamity is
disappearing and the people are be-
ginning to spend their money freely.
The numbers of the unemployed in
the cities are diminishing. There is
every reason to believe in a great
businss year. The danger is that we
may rebound too vigorously, go too
fast. bet too high on ourselves. Con-
sentative and thoughtful business men
should take very great care that we
combine caution with our returning
confidence and activity, and go ahead
surely but with careful watching of
every step. With prudence we should
be assured of several years of in
creasing and solid prosperity. With
