HAVANA RACE MEET IS
MOST SUCCESSFUL HELD

HAVANA. Cuba, Feb. 29.--With
The meeting at Oriental park more
than half over, II Is assured that In
spite OF early difficulties the Cuba
American Jockey club win hsvo the
most successful race meet since n
established the sport here five years
ago. Cubans have taken to racing
with such enthusiasm and good judg-
ment that two OF tho locally owned
stables have captured important
stakes, and from present appearances
The honor of owning the best horse
racing here will rest with either A.
III. DiaB or the Ammonia stable, owned
by Messrs. Tolon and Fernandez. Tho
candidate OF the former Is the 4
year-old Orestes, while the Ammonia
representative Is Wiaeman winner OF
the Christmas and New Years handi-
caps.
Only during the last few weeks
has 1t been possible 10 make n fair
comparison OF the merits OF the
horses, as track conditions varied In
the early part of the meeting and
kept several OF the best thorough
bseds out of competition. Track rec
ords have begun TO fall now, and
with tho prospect OF a fast track
from now on Il Is probable that many
more new marks will be on the books
before the meeting closes at the end
OF March.
There has been n great improve
ment in the sport owing 10 the strict
discipline imposed by President
Steward christopher J. Fitzgerald.
who has ruled over tho jockeys with
an iron hand. There are a lot of
good boys here. but early in the
meeting many OF them took chances
In cutting across and humping OPP
ponents. Punishment was swift and
sure, and every ono OF the really
good riders took a long sojourn on
the ground and in addition many OF
them were fined. They learned their
lesson quickly. and in consequence
square and straight riding Is now the
order OF the day

FIRST COST OF PEACHES.

Burlington Hawkeye: The case or
Mrs. Earl Fry's $3.50 basket Of
peaches is a real opportunity for
the authorities to swat the profiteer.
The story, as it appeared in The
Hawk-Eye yesterday morning, Is
brief and to the point.
In the basket she found note
from the woman in Texas who grew
and marketed the peaches.
According to this note, the peaches
were sold by the producer for so
cents.
Therefore, between the producer
and the consumer some persons col
ilected 1910; in other words, the cost
of the peaches went up something
over 700 per cent. between producer
and consumer.
No law may have been violated, 1t
is true; but one or more "gougers"
have been busy.
Other peaches and probably other
foodgtuffs have gone through prac-
tically the same channels.
It is plainly the duty OF those who
are making war upon the profiteers
TO follow this case UP. It will be a
simple matter to learn to whom the
Texas woman sold her peaches, what
price this person received for them

THE WEAKEST LINK.

No chain is stronger than its weakest link
We have got to bind the diverse interests, wills,
purposes and plans of great people together
with a chain of cooperation or we shall be
people divided against itself 1t may help some
at the beginning to pick out and get wide rec
ognition of the weakest link in the chain we
must use. The great corroding agent at work
is greed. There is greed of money that sets
plain obligations to the nation at naught; there
is greed of power that seeks money not for its
own sake but for the command of men and
things it gives; there is greed of personal am
bition that makes men Of commanding position
and influence false to their own convictions OF
conduct There is individual greed, group
greed party greed and class greed.
1t does not help any to say that these things
have always been and to an extent always must
be. The extent must be lessened now so that
the weakest link may become strong enough tt
hold Greedy men greedy parties, greedy
classes must be made to see that if their will t.
grasp is allowed to have its way not only vii
il breed a reaction but a reaction that vii
sweep into a vortex Of disorganization thei
holdings as well as the legitimate holding
earned by a majority of our people. There
nothing to prevent this people from takin
counsel together, from agreeing on just NEAR
and methods Of conduct of affairs and proceet
ing to future full of promise-nothing excel
the play OF pure greed as the motive to SELLS
action that defes safety.

SUING THE STRIKERS.

Sioux City Journal: The policy
OF the theatrical producers in suing
the actors for damages resulting
from the strike which the latter
have called in New York reviyes the
question raised In the courts by the
famous Danbury hatters' cases. In
which the company recovered Judge
nlent against many Of the strikers
and enforced the judgement against
their property. The cases Of the
hatters were the first of the kind
tried in the courts.
The logic upon which the hatters'
cages were determined was that
where damage resulted to the EN-,
ployer because of the violation of an
agreement with union, in the ma
ture of a strike, the union was such
a partnership that each individual
became responsible for the damage
caused by any partner. Under this
decision the member OF the union,
as a partner in the Partnership, was
responsible for the acts Of any or all
members Of the union Those who
had property had to pay the damages
caused by all members. 1t was even
held that 1t was only necessary tc
prove that an individual was a mem
Der Of the striking union to make
him responsible In damages. 1t
need not be proved that he personal
ly committed the damage for which
redress was sought II he belonged
to the union and II members Of the
union committed the damage, ne was
responsible.

RUMAN1A's RASH POLICY.

operation by this nation. Our relief agents
have been busy in Rumania and their work is
counting for much. If they We're withdrawn,
the anarch conditions would become worse.
Rumania has little to hope for from any out
side agency in east Europe France will be un-
wise in allowing Rumania to run amuck IN Hun
gary. It seems probable that the military com
.mand in Hungary is somewhat out OF control OF
the present nominal rulers of the former Haps-
burg state; that the prospect Of Immediate
food supply and the spirit of vengeance for the
Hungarian despoilation Of Rumanian territory
has led to overt acts that calm judgment would
prevent. The peace conference must perforce
curb Rumania before it can hope for success in
inaugurating the peace treaty policy in Hun
gary.

IDLE MEDICAL WAR MEN.

Reports come from employment agencies IN
different sections of the country telling of ply
sicians who have been mustered out OF war
service only to find their practice gone and to
face the need Of employment. One day last week
twenty-five physicians made application to a
New York City agency for positions OF some
sort that they were competent to fill. Profess
sional practice is slowly built up and as bust
ness it rests upon personality. The physicians
and men of other professions who gave up their
work at the call TO service and who have been
out of practice of their professions for more
than a year no doubt find difficulty in resnmng
their work where they left it. The war depart
ment has stopped it's publicity of unemployment
and is devoting its energies to placing in po-
sitions the professional men and skilled trades
workers whose special aptitude makes their
employment depend ON specialized demand. In
this class Of seekers for positions our medical
war men are found in increasing numbers. The
solution of the problem depends in part on the
Willingness of physicians to take up rural prac-
tice There are great areas of the country that
are poorly supplied with medical service. 1t

THE SPLITTING or A FORTUNE

New York Sun: In hts foreword
to "The Rowland Heirs" Mr..
William 81. Emery. genealogist

his belief that this the only in

land.
The task OF the trustees and
their genealogist In this distri-
button. which was to be made
according to the right of repre-
sentation," is better appreciated
when it is recalled that Gideon
Rowland, who was born in 1874,
was married at 10 and became
the father Of thirteen children,
twelve Of whom married and had
children, and that it was not
until 1916, when Mrs. Hetty H.
r Green died, that the roundup
OF Gideon's descendants began.
The years that had passed be-
tween Gideon Howland's mar
riage and Mrs. Green's death
were 1853; and those New Eng
ianders have been a prolific peo-
pie. A long lived people, too.
for of the 439 persons who
shared Miss Howland's Request
200 were alive when she died
nearly fifty-four years ago. That
they have been a capable people
is evident Hetty Rowland Rob-
inson became, as Mrs. Green, the
richest woman in the world; and
Mr.. Emery has counted among
Gideon's descendants "at least
two members of congress. the
wife of a governor OF Massachu-
sets, several members of the
legislature and two mayors of
New Bedford" Then there are
whaling captains, the founder Of
New Bedford's cotton industry,
members Of all the professions
and champion tennis players.
What a work it was to learn
exactly who and where were the
heirs! They were scattered over
this country, and some were in
England, France and the Ha-
waiian islands. Some had never

WHY WE GROW THIN.

During the month of June, last, we exported
over 1886, 100000 worth Of foodstuffs in which
we're included 100000 bushels of wheat, three
and one-half million barrels of flour, 100000
bushels of rye, 100000 bushels of barley, and
other grains and grain products to the value of
$17,000O00. We exported $174,0000O0 worth
of meats and dairy products, including 270,O00-
900 pounds of bacon and hams, 100000
pounds of lard and 115,O00,0OO pounds of con-
densed milk; besides many millions of dollars
worth of other farm products. What addi-
tional amounts were exported and not checked
up at the ports can not be determined, but re-
ports have reached this country that millions of
pounds of foodstuffs have rotted ut European
ports, and one case is cited of 100000 dozen
eggs going bad in Italian harbors. And while
we are treading lightly lest we ''break the heart
