The basic colors of the stone are a

The group of experts who were ad-
mitted to view the opal in Secretary
Lanes office spent half hour in ex-
aiming it and expressed amazement
at its beauty and brilliancy. Dr. Nor
rill, curator of the National Museum,
who is an authority on precious stones,
said 1t was the most nearly flawless
opal he had ever seen. The gem was
photographed for the National Geogra-
phic society.
The nearest approach In size to this
record breaking opal is the famous
Viennese opal discovered in Hungary in
ITO, which is not flawless and is only
two thirds the size of the American
stone. The Viennese gem weighs 1898
Troy ounces and measures thirteen
cubic inches in the mass. It's value
is fixed at 100000. 1t has never
changed hands at that price but sue

WILSON AND PROHIBITION.

my his veto Of the prohibition en-
I'D forcement law President Wilson
paved the way for another rebuke
from the present congress. The house
and senate have passed the bill over
his veto. The reasons given by the
President for disappearing the bill were
flimsy in the extreme. We are going
TO have prohibition through constitu-
tional amendment anyway and to veto
the act that would bring about real law
enforcement on the wet question, was
rather premature.
Indeed President Wilson is somewhat
inconsistent. The day previous to dis
approving the prohibition act, he held
in his very commendable ultimatum
to the coal miners that the war it
self is still fact" When he vetoed
the prohibition bill he said: 1T has
to do with the enforcement of an act
which was passed by reason of the
emergencies of the war whose objects
have been satisfied in the demobiliza-
ton OF the army, the navy and whose
repeal 1 have already sought at the
hands of congress-"
President Wilson held that the sub
ject matter treated in the prohibition
enforcement act dealt with two distinct
phases of prohibition legislation one
seeking to enforce wartime prohibition
and the other for the enforcement made
necessary by the adoption of the con-
stitutional act. His objection was d-
rected to the wartime prohibition
phase, contending that the act then
was passed as an emergency brought
about by the war, whose object has
since been satisfied in the demobiliza-
ton of the army and navy.
Beginning next year the entire nation
is to become dry under constitutional
prohibition. Had President Wilson's
veto been allowed to stand the vets
would have had a respite between
the present and that time. Congress.
however, passed prohibition act seek
Ing to keep the country virtually dry
not only after the constitutional act
goes into but from now until that time.
This would prevent the sale of liquor
from now until the first of the year
In those states which do not have pro-
hibition laws of their own. Congress
is determined to continue the arid
spell so far as liquor is concerned and
quite properly refused to accept the
Presidents view.

AMERICA AND CURA'S SUGAR
SUPPLY

WITT
m UBA has enough sugar to meet
(UJ Americas demands until the next
crop is produced. Stored on the islands
are four hundred thousand tons. Yet
the price of sugar continues to remain
high and the people are informed the
supply is short. Americas market is
kept unbalanced, hence the failure to
take advantage of the Cuban surplus.
We continue to pay high prices and 70
complain about a shortage while our
neighbor has a great abundance which
he is willing to dispose of if guaranteed
q reasonable return.
The consumer would like to know
why the American market is unbal-
anced and who the manipulators are
who keep it so. Admitting that there
is worldwide shortage of sugar, and
that is undoubtedly true, does that
offer an excuse for not buying the Gu
ban supply which Cubans say will meet
all of our demands until the next crop
Is produced?
Sugar experts summarize the sugar
situation by declaring the world is two
million tons short today over 1914.
Thus, they declare, the world is short
five billions of pounds. However, the
shortage in the United States is not
caused by any falling off in the sup
ply as compared with last year. On the
contrary more sugar has been brought
to market during the past nine months
than during the same period in 1918.
They admit the scarcity is not due to
unusually heavy exports. Aside from
sugar belonging to the British royal
commission which was refined on toll
by American refiners-and this sugar
never belonged to the United States
and never was available to this market
total exports have amounted only to
about one hundred and fifty thousand
tons.
The sugar manufacturers claim that
the shortage Is due to the very simple
fact that the consumption during the
present year has been far greater than
during the corresponding period of last
year and the demand has exceeded the
available supply. This is a somewhat
remarkabls statement when It il re-
called that year ago we were on SUI
gar rations. Our present consumption
Of sugar is given as ninety two pounds
per year per person. The advent of
prohibition is given as one OF the
causes for the increase in consumption.

STRANGE FACTS THAT
FEW PEOPLE KNOW

A giant American opal, said to be
the largest gem in the rough ever dis
covered in the world, recently was
placed on private exhibition in the
offices of Secretary Franklin X. Lane
of the Interior department.
The mammoth stone is technically
listed as black opal. 1t was found
two years ago in a new opal field
in the northwestern part of the Unit
ed States, which is said to rival in
richness the famous Lightning Ridge
district of Australia. It's discovery
was kept secret because 1t was feared
that the gorgeous gem might tempt
an investment of money during war
times which might have been en-
ployed more profitably in patriotic
channels.
The opal weighs 1926 Troy ounces,
according to the assayer of the Treas
ury department and its bulk is 81 Gu
bic inches. The value placed on 1t is
$250,0OO Only a limited number of
diamonds have been worth more. With
the explosion of the myth that the opal
Is unlucky and with the output OF the
Australian fields setting new stan
dards for opals in price and beauty,
it is believed the great opal, when

This man Paderewski. all these
years playing the piano, has just been
preparing himself for the premiership,
unconscious like. BY this time he
ought to have enough strength in his
fingers to make typewriter scream

around, twenty five or thirty after one
job, he can invite 'em into the front
room and sit down at the old baby
grand and just bull EN- to sleep with
a sonata or the fifth movement
from Tinpansl<is serenade. After he
gets through playing all the Polish
politicians will think they have had
their jobs and lived through 'em and
gone to heaven. When Paderewski
goes before the Polish congress, they
won't expect him to make a speech.
They will ask him to play something.
Admission into the galleries can be
charged for at the rate of SIS a seat.
That will be the only congress in the
world where there will be harmony
every time the president appears.
If all the senators at Washington
played the piano instead of making
speeches I would believe there was
some sense in music. 1t would be a
great saving in printing the Congress

THE JOHNSON AMENDMENT.

1T begins to be clearer every day that
the senate is determined not to
amend the treaty of Versailles and
eventually will let 1t stand in the form
in which it was brought to Washing
ton from Paris and as ratified by three
of the great Allied powers. Great
expectedly to be sure, the Johnson
amendment. seeking to equalize the
voting strength of the United States
and Great Britain, was defeated by a
vote Of 40 to Ss. While 1s senators
were. not present and did not vote,
Washington authorities are Of the opin-
ion that had they been in the chambers
there would have been no difference in
the result of the vote.
Senator johnson promptly intro
duced another amendment with the
same object in view but action on it
was deferred. Senator Moses offered
an amendment also seeking to equalize
the vote and Senator Shields presented
a substitute to it. No action was
taken On them after Senator Hitch
cock said that they would, il passed,
destroy the treaty. All are likely to
meet the same fate as the original
Johnson amendment.
Gradually congress is working itself
up to a final vote on the peace treaty.
1t has been long while coming. The
fight now will sift down to a contest
on the reservations to be appended to
the document. Congress should lose no
time In getting at them and disposing
of the entire subject matter. The is
sues have been threshed out and the
country is willing to abide by it's final
decision.

SHOULD BAR BERGER AND HIS
KIND.

S7HE halls of congress in which the
elected representatives of the peo-
pie sit, is no place for a man of the
type of Victor Berger of Milwaukee.
He is under conviction of violating the
espionage law A special committee
appointed by the house of representa-
tives recommended that Berger. who is
a Socialist, be barred from a seat in
that assembly. There will be general
approval of that verdict. Friends Of
Berger claim that they will re-elect
him to the house in the event the COM
mittee's decision barring Joseph P.
Carney, the contestee, is adopted by
the house of representatives. We are
willing to make a prediction that IL
Representative Berger is unseated, he
will never be reelected to the house
by the voters of Wisconsin.
When the investigating committee
found that Victor Berger was disloyal
to the United States and gave aid and
comfort to the enemies at time when
its existance as a free and independent
nation was at stake" it rendered the
verdict of the entire nation. Congress
is no place for a man who is not first
and always an American. During the
war men in all walks of life showed
their colors. They were either for us
or against us. Those who were against
US were disloyal to the country that
protects them. The time has come
when the wedding out process of the
disloyal element should take place and
the congress of the United States is
the proper place to start II there Is
evidence to prove disloyalty Few will
waste sympathy on such types as Vic
tor Berger.
