AS to the contention that cigarmakers in
Cuba work for half what they do in this
country, it is utter nonsense Cigarmakers
on the finer sizes, which constitute the preat
bulk of the output In Cuba, have alwavs
received wages but little below those paid
in the United States for the same tvno

recent strike, Cuban cigarmakers were
granted an increase Of $5 Per 1000 and

TO the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The spectacle afforded by tho er-
treme prohibitonist in Congress running
amuck through cider and navorng extracts
has been a most instructive one.
There is, however, a fundamental error
in the question as 1t is presented. It IS
this: that the mere prohibition of beer,
wine and liquor is only corol.aty Of tho
main proposition-n namely vege-ar arism.
1t is we'll known fact that the nations
using the largest amounts OF animal food
are those using the largest amounts OF
stimulants. And the latter fact is the re-
suit of the former Alcoholism cannot
flourish a vegetarian diet. Until "a
tional vegetarianism is enforced prohihl-
ton will be a failure.

constitutional amendment TO enforce v-se-
tarianism. at least To aflx sueA "i.ler

Another Bump

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: I wish to indorse and emphasize the
question asked by Mr.. Cowee, jr., who Is
unknown to me. When I started taking The
Tribune, early this year, I was particularly
delighted with it's editorials. A month
or two after I had subscribed for three
months term Of the daily and Sunday Trib-
une that paper fell with bump. Instead
of fearless, straightforward talk, both edi-
torials and news have been marked bv an
insincerity that have been deadly to anv
faith in its vaunted claim of truth, The
business page reads like Wilsonian propa-
ganda in Mr.. Creel's best manner. I had
intended to let my subscription expire and
forget it, but you might as we'll know now
that Mr.. Cowee Is not alone in his senti
ments. PATRICK T. FARNSWORTH.

The Intruder

The NcaO York. Times is not greatly
impressed by the claim that the United
States is competent to sign a treaty Of
peace with Bulgaria, and bases its argu-
ment on the fact that we have never
been at war with that nation. 1t rather
scornfully rejects the Administrations
theory that there is no logical distinction
between status Of belligerency and that
Of benevolent neutrality when it comes
to claiming a voice in a peace settlement.
Says The Timcs:
The official explanation of our main
tenanco Of friendly relations with Bull
gara was that our moral influence might
get Bulgaria out of tho war.
Our moral influence shed it's refulgent
beams on the Bulgars for year and
half and did not get them out of the
war. Eventually they did get out of the
war with great suddenness. but not be-
cause Of our moral influence. They got
out because their armies had been routed
In the field, and routed largely through
the efforts Of Greek and Serbian
troops.
Now, the peoples which were wantonlv
attacked by Bulgaria, which suffered ut
her hands France suffered at the
hands Of Germany, and whose armies
played the principal part in putting Bull
garia out Of the war and breaking tho
Berlin Bagdad line, are afraid that
American influence will neutralize the
victory and leave Bulgaria unpunished-
pcrhaps actually rewarded--for Joining
the enemy. We would not make war
against the Bulgnrs; it seems only fair
that those who did fight, and beat. these
allies OF our enemy should have free
hand in making tho peace
All this is true. Nobody disputes the
facts. Yet for some mysterious reason
the Administration prefers to base its
present attitude toward Bulgaria on n
glarlng fiction. LET me help to write
the peace settlements, and don't care
who does the fighting" is a programme
much too transcendental to appeal to

Hard Cider Jags
To the Editor of The Tribune.


Sir: The statement in this MORNINGS
Tribune that under the Eighteenth Amend
ment enforcement bill the manufacture and
use Of cider with an alcoholic content Of
possibly 10 per cent is permitted illustrates
the arrant hypocrisy Of the prohibition advo-
Gates. If alcohol is always poison, as
falsely asserted by the Hobsons and Ander-
sons, why permit the use Of beverage with
three times the alcoholic strength Of ordinary
beer, which is prohibited?
The State Of Maine, the banner dry %
state, has always permitted its thirsty citi-
zens to load up with hard cider on which
they accumulated jags that lasted for days,

Voices From the Sand

Our neighbors The Post, Tho Times
and The World will scarcely contend that
they are entitled to Distinguished Ser
vice medals for the candor they have dis
played in discussing Mr.. Taft's letter in
support of covenant reservations.
A reader of The Post, if he confined
himself to it's editorial page, would
scarcely gather that Mr.. Taft has COM
mitted himself to the reservation plan and
has set out series which goes further
than the set sketched by Mr.. Root. Nor
would he learn that Mr. Taft has de-
clared that in so far as partisanship has
been injected into the discussion the re-
sponsibility obviously rests with the
President. And, more vital still, he
would not know that Mr. Taft has COM
mitted himself to the doctrines that res
ervations are not inconsistent with rati-
f1cation, with consequent saving of
both the peace treaty and Of what is good
in the covenant, and that there is no
fear that other countries viii SO object
to our reservations as to call for re-
assembling Of the peace conference.
The Times, similarly incomplete in its
review, Is at great pains to avoid men
tion Of the salient and the significant.
1t so dwells on Mr.. Taft's personal will
ingness to vote for the covenant as it
stands as to have no space to note that
for good and sufficient reasons he favors
reservations, and thus has como over to
the view that controls the majority Of the
Senate. It has nothing better to offer
than to threaten that if the President
does not find the reservations agreeable
he will resist them and refuse to for
ward q treaty SO ratified. The Presi-
dent has, of course, a legal right to
plgeonhole treaty and covenant at any
stage. But will he exercise the right?
Will he assume the responsibility of pro-
longing the period Of nominal war? He
won't. The menace is Of heat lightning
kind-there is no thunder in it. It rep
resents no more than fumbling attempt
at g countering blow, with about as much
vitality in it as was in Wizards fannings
IN Dempsey's direction after that dis
astrous first round smash.
The World can apparently discover
nothing better than to relapse into its
steady practice of abusing the Senate.
But there is little heart or vigor in the
renewed lambasting. Between the lines
it is possible to read deep resentment be-
cause Mr.. Taft is no longer willing to
countenance the enterprise Of deceiving
the American people,; but until sign
comes from Washington prudence die
tates that Mr.. Taft's apostasy be treated
tenderly.
Mr.. Taft has pulled the undermining
from under an edifce Of artifciality on
which much labor has been vainly ex-
pended. He has done this because he
has a yearning for candor-because to
the extremes of his personal periphery he
has a mastering dislike of sham. He
perceives the nonsense Of much that has
been said against the covenant, but he
also sees the sense Of many criticisms
and the nonsense Of the campaign Of trv-
ing to hurrah and browbeat the agree
ment through without safeguards.

"BUY

WARN PUBLIC

San Francisco-The retail dealers
advice to the victims of high prices
is to curtail buying. Following is a
portion of letter from Edward A.
MacLean, secretary of the Oregon
Retail Merchants Association, to
Governor John U. Calkins of the
S an Francisco Federal Reserve
Bank:
Portland, Oregon,
August 2S, 1919.
- So long as the free buying
spirit of the American public exists,
mayors and governors can fuss and
,fume and Congress can enact what
it pleases, but high prices will con-
tinue. 1t is my opinion that the pur-
chase OF government securities such
as War Savings Stamps and Treas
ury Savings Certificates instead of
merchandise will hasten the over
throw of the high cost of living
Here is the point-it is high time
that the American people We're
brought to realize that the respon-
sibiltty for the high cost of living
IS not responsibility of Congress
or any other agency. Unless the
American people, themselves, quit
supporting high prices, they can
right now make up their minds to
pay high prices for some time to
come.

HEAR THIS LECTURE AND TEST OWN 0RE

George F. Fansett, mining engineer of the Arizona Bureau of Mines of the University of Arizona will give the free lecture Practical Minerology for the Prospector." at the Phoenix hign school on Saturday, March l, at o'clock D. m.
 This lecture and demonstration has met with unusual favor in the towns and mining camps of southern Ari- zona, the tour of which has just been completed. This is probably due to the fact that MT. Fansett handles the demonstration in such way that any one after attending the lecture should be able to make the tests himself and should be able to test his own samples and thus detect any valuable metals contained in them.
 The testing of minerals is something which everybody in this highly miner alized section surrounding Phoenix should know how to do for himself Sinse this lecture is just what many prospectors, stockmen, and ranchers have been looking for. it it hoped that as many as possible will take advant- age of this opportunity offered by the University and attend this free lecture which will be held at the Phoenix high school on Saturday, March l, at o'clock D. m.

 It is proposed by the bill to reim- purse the men who at the instigation of the war department set about the development of manganese and those other minerals of which the govern ment stood so much in need for war purposes. But before the stage of pro- duction had been reached the war ended and the need of the government passed away.
 Large expenditures for preparation had been made. A mill for the treat ment of manganese was erected at Patagonia and another at Aguila, but not pound of ore was ever handled by either.
