MIR. Hughes.s Burning. Issues

II is unfair to Mr. Hughes to say
that he has no issues at all. He has
issues. and he is discussing them with
great force and fury.
Civilization Is in the midst OF the
most terrible crisis of modern his
tory Two-thirds of the world is at
war, Nearly 10000. 900 men have al
ready been killed and wounded. It
has required the utmost skill on the
part of the President to keep the
United States from being drawn into
this welter OF blood. But for him
American boys would be dying daily
by the thousand in the trenches of
Europe.
Nevertheless the country Is noe
wholly satisfied. There are Ameri-
cans who believe that the President
has not dealt harshly enough with
Germany and too harshly with the
allies There are Americans who be-
lieve he has not dealt harshly enough
with the allies and too harshly with
Germany. He Is criticised by pro-
German Americans and by pro-ally
Americans. and Mr.. Hughes assures
us that the great issue IL America
First and Ehicient"
To show his strong mora, and po-
litical convictions on this dominant
issue, Mr.. Hughes Is yelling his lungs
sore because son or the late Mag
istrate Finn was appointed to a place
IN the customs service. He has been
burning up the prairies with the dire
ful tidings that a Democrat succeeded
Republican as director OF the GEN.
sus Somebody has informed him
that many Southern Democrats by
reason OF seniority OF service In the
House OF Representatives are chair
men or important committees. Mr.
Hughes promptly waves the bloody
shirt and begins to scream about Sec
tionalism
Between times he courteously and
Eraciously insinuates that Presid emit
Wilson is crook who IL probably
stealing money out OF the United
States treasury and ought to be inves-
tigated
Mr.. Hughes has been the Republic
can candidate for a little more than
two months and. assisted by his great
legal learning and his long judicial
experience. he has succeeded in put
ting the Republican national campaign
on the same intellectual level as an
ordinary aldermanic contest.-New

"In view OF the great demand

The world must come to realize that
better results will be gotten from the
labor of sober men than from the
labor OF men who drink. This fact
has been recognized by the leading
railroads, and is fast becoming ap-
parent to other large employers of
labor. Prohibition can be made to
prohibit. And where It Is made to
prohibit, the results must be bene-
fetal.

BULGARIAN MONOPOLY.
"Attar of Rose" Industry Confined to
That Country.

A practical monopoly conferred
upon Bulgaria by nature itself is the
ancient "attar of rose" industry. A
report from Consul General Murphy
of Sofia states that the altar yield
ing roses require soil~ easily per-
meable to water, protection from the
cold north winds of winter, and a
climate free from excess of unseason-
able rain and early and excessive
droughts and Bulgaria's Rose val
ley seems to combine these condi-
tions more perfectly than any other
spot. A Turkish attempt since 1878
to create a rose industry around
Broussa, in Asia Minor, has resulted
only in flowers almost wholly lacking
altar. The shoots planted in we'll
manured bitches IS inches deep and
a yard and a half apart, grow to a
foot high the first year, begin flower
ing the third year, reach full growth
of six feet in the fifth year, and bear
blossoms abundantly for 20 years.
The harvest, beginning about the
third week in May, continues 1S to
80 days. The collected flowers are
placed in a timed copper boiler or
still, 20 pounds of roses and Is gal
Ions of water at charge, and distll-
lation for about As minutes yields
80 to 35 pounds of rose water. This
is concentrated by redistilling, after
which the altar is skinned off as it
rises to the surface. The rose gar
dens occupy about 10000 acres, in
an area of 80 miles by 80 on the
southern slope of the Balkans, at an
average height of 1900 feet, and
they yield annually 35,00O,000 to
45,OO0,O0O pounds, or 8,000,0OO,OOO
roses, producing one ounce of altar
from 100 to 120 pounds. The aver
age production of altar is $4,000
ounces, that Of 1906 having reached
$4,000, while 1916 does not exceed
10000 ounces.

ing to think how this change has
been accomplished.
A recent Chicago paper contained
an interesting article concerning
Frederick w. Brooks, who celebrated
his seth birthday the other day
When he was six years old he land
ed one autumn day from a little
schooner at the mouth of the Chica-
20 river, and wading ashore, threw
stones to frighten wild ducks from
the marsh. He has lived to see Chi
cago change from city of mud
streets with a population of 1000 to
a metropolis of two and a half mil
lion people.
Electricity has played a most i'm
portant role in this modern miracle
It has made possible this change
Towering office buildings would not
be possible were it not for the high
speed electric elevator, telephone and
telegraph instrument.
Suppose, if you please, that some
magician, by passing his wand over
the world, should put out of opera
ton all electrical power plants, both
large and small. People would
awaken in the morning to find tele'
phone, telegraph and wireless com
munication cut off; surface and ele'
