CUBAN MILLIoNAIREs

A group that is beginning to be
much in evidence at the Opera and
in the fashionable hotels in New York
is made up of the advance guard of
the new crop of Cuban millionaires.
These are the men whom the fortunes
of war and of sugar have made
wealthy beyond all expectation. Ow-
ing to the high price of sugar brought
about by this war Cuba's crop of cane
last year brought the tidy little sum
of $500, 900. 900 to the planters of the
Island. Most of this money came
from the United States which buys
four-flfths, of the sugar grown in
Cuba. 1t is said that If the free
sugar law is allowed to go into effect
and the growing of sugar beets and
cane is abandoned in the United
States the sugar production of Cuba
will double within a few years. In
anticipation of this result American
capital is investing in Cuban planta-
tions at prices which would have
seemed dazzling under the conditions
of a few years ago and the former
owners of the plantations are adding
new and interesting flavor to the
cosmopolitan life Of New York City.

DAUPHIN COUNTY COAL

TlTH proper appreciation of the
w situation the board of County
Commissioners has determined
to enlist the aid of Charles A. Price,
of Lykens, the county mine inspector,
in determining the important question
of adequate assessment of the coal
lands in this county. Mr.. Price ought
to be thoroughly familiar with the
conditions, and If the assessments
heretofore have been too low and the
assessors have been remiss in their du-
ties, 1t should be a comparatively easy
matter for the commissioners to learn
the facts and revise the assessment.
In the light of the recent attitude
of the coal operators on the question
of State tax upon anthracite coal and
their apparent disregard of the public
protest against an imposition of addi-
tional expense upon the consumer, it
is we'll that the commissioners of this
county go deeply into the matter so
that the county may receive its due
where one of its most important
natural resources is at stake.
Comparisons with the adjoining
counties in the matter of coal assess
ments and investigation of taxation
i'm this county will soon clear up the
lsituation and assure an equitable val
iuation.

about everything from recovery to
death. Whichever way the fight

Many of them, perhaps most of

means years of wasted life, and may
be perpetual exile from the damp
climates where big cities grow and
big things happen. The pity of it is
always there. The social conscious
ness is just beginning to awaken to
the fact that 1t is a national duty to
strike the evil at its root.
Michigan with her $1,000 state
campaign, the state work being done
in Wisconsin, the wide movement to
make the city or the county a unit in
the fight, the educational publicity
campaigns conducted in big newspa-
pers, all are signs that tuberculosis
is at least recognized as a problem
for the community rather than the
individual. The disease must be
checked at its beginning. says social
science to-day, it must never be per-
mitted to begin, there is no compari-
son between prevention and cure.
Cure is only a belated attempt to re-
trieve defeat.
The awakening was slow in COM
ing. The destroyer had been secure
for so long that its ravages were re-
garded as strokes of destiny. At the
exhibit of a national association for
fighting tuberculosis two years ago,
the center of attention was a single
electric light bulb. 1t was an ordin-
ary lamp, such as you buy for twen-
ty cents At short intervals it flash
ed, and then went out. Every time
this light flashes" read a sign below

Of tuberculosis" All day a silent
crowd stood about the bulb, watching

but as people watch inevitable. Not
one in a hundred seemed to realize
that each flash was a call to battle
They are beginning to realize 1t to-
day. State and national campaigns
can have for their end nothing more
than an awakening of the individual
sense of responsibility, and a training

of all the great plaques. Cholera and

East and the black death of the mid
die ages, all these defiantly fought
civilization, and civilization battered
them down and obliterated them
Consumption used the progress of the
centuries to further it's own stealthy

working in the dark, by establishing

REPUBLICAN ATTITUDE

WOMENs SHOES
TONGREsSMAN KREIDER, in a

TONGRESSMAN KREIDER, in q
" speech before the National As
sociation of Shoe Manufacturers
recently, said that women's shoes are
higher in price now than ever before
largely because of the added expense
of producing the freak styles now in
such high favor. Much as she her
self may desire to think otherwise, a
woman logged out in the footgear of
to-day is far from attractive, at least
so far as her feet and ankles are con-
cerned. The eye is naturally drawn
to her shoes by the colors she chooses
and the bizarre effect is accentuated
by her short skirts, so that If she be
thin of leg one gets the conception of
silk-clad pipesteams, whereas if she
be plump of build there is revealed
far more than mere suspicion of
bow legs. The lady of fashion is pay
ing a premium on shoe prices for the
doubtful privilege of winning mascu-
line smiles of amusement and the
more severe criticism of her observing
sisters.

TN the little southwestern city of
Albuquerque, N. NJ, the year 1915
= arrived in silence. For the first
time the blare of horns, the rattle of
tin pans, the howl of the mocking-
bird fire alarms were missing. The
celebration was omitted because a
stranger in town wrote a little note
to the leading paper. He was sick
with tuberculosis, he said, and there
were hundreds in similar case. The
city had invited their presence by ad-
Vertising as a health resort. Now it
was the city's duty to let them sleep.
The city admitted it's responsibility,
and staged a safe and sane New
Year.
Nothing brings home more forcibly
the grip of the great white plague on
the nation than the prominent place
the health seeking class has taken in
the social and economic scheme over
whole sections of the country. Albu-
querque is the largest city and the
business center of a State, yet so inn
portant an asset, and so numerous
are the consumptives, that few lines
from one of them sufficed to set aside
a traditional municipal demonstration.
In scores of smaller towns, the
health-s seeker is correspondingly more
important 1t Is due to him that the
southwest as a community is unique.
Nowhere else do you find so many
men who seem to be about three times
too large for their job. In most
places it is the other way around. But
out in some sparsely settled corner
of New Mexico or Arizona, you will
chance on some school superinten-
dent with ideas and abilities big
enough for Chicago, some musician
playing in a one-story opera house
who could hold an audience brought
up on the classics, some newspaper
man editing a four-page weekly who
might have been a star in New York
| if his talent had gotten it's chance.
To the eternal question, What is he
doing here?" there is one eternal
answer, western in it's brevity: Here
| for his health"
Sometimes the answer is not even
put into words; a significant tap on
the chest is answer enough. The pity
of it, the lost opportunities, the whole
saIe economic waste of able men that
are all too rare, cut off from the cen
ters that need them, make one of the
tragedies of the time. And yet those
are the fortunate ones who are able
to follow their bent in new surround
| ings, and make their mark in new
country. Who knows what talent,
genius even lies burning out, in some
of the innumerable tents and bun
galows dotting the mesas? That is
| the real loss and the real pity.
They come from every corner OF
the nation, many of them without
money and too weak to work, put
ting a heavy strain on the charitable
| resources of the community where
they linger and die. Some of them
who have few dollars throw the
local labor markets into confusion by
their willingness to work for any
wages-any work that will take them
out of doors in the sunlight. All
about are thousands, fighting the long
fight with the cheerful optimism that
is in itself a symptom of the malady
The enemy has become for them a
commonplace, companion by day
and by night. With callousness and

AERoPLANE WARFARE

TINE aeroplane is the bloodiest
and nastiest weapon of the pres
ent war. If an enemy raiding
corps slipped into city and slew a
half dozen women and children and
then fed away unscathed, the whole
world would weep with the horror of
it and there would be loud demands
for vengeance. But an aeroplane may
slip over a city in the silence of the
night and mangle a dozen little forms
as they lie innocent and sleeping in
their cribs and the world reads of it at
breakfast, shakes it's head doubtfully
and let's it go at that Air raids over
helpless cities bring the war no
nearer a conclusion. Neither side is
benefited by them, but the military
leadership that orders them marks
itself as cruel and murderous beyond
the understanding of civilized people.

GENERAL WOODS TESTIMONY

General Woods testimony re-

must always make allowances for the
professional army and navy man am
bilious to make his branch of the
service superior to any in the world,
but General Woods views and
opinions submitted yesterday were not
of that sort. He showed conclusively
that we are spending millions of dol
lars fruitlessly and that the only
remedy is more millions, combined
with patriotic effort toward improving
the condition that everybody, militar-
list and pacificist alike, must know
exists.
