WHY SUGAR IL CHEAP.

That sugar II more plentiful and
therefore cheaper In America than In
other sugar consuming countries IL
we'll known 10 all who have paid att
tentIon to the matter OF supply Of
that commodity. II might have been
different but for the action taken TO
ave the crop of Cuba @-fhe biggest
sugar crop the island ever had. with
one exception. according to Manuel
Rionda. the foremost sugar trade ati-
lbority of the country. We publish on
our agricultural page today an inter-
View with him, furnished US through
the courtesy OF Facts About Sugar"
ne OF the leading sugnr Journals.
IT presents clear statement of the
sugar situation.
A few months ago IL looked as
though only the large Cuban produce
ing companies would be able TO pro-
duee to their fullest capacity; that
the many other planters would be
1uined. so say nothing Of the grow
ers on small patches OF cane which
they were accustomed to sell to the
nrgrr '.centrais. that there might be
something approaching another sugar
famine in the United States. This ait
sietion was caused by the moratorium
which upset the financial system o.
Cuba and rendered unavailable the
redit upon which the sugar
producers were accustomed to rel.
tor making a crop.
The threatened disaster WAS pre-
ented by the device of establishing
i central agency, TO handle the cubar
erop. In the language Of Mr.. Rionda
| '',rhe appointment OF the commission
brought forth the provision of bank

SALTUs.

Edgar Saltus, author, publicist. and
one Of the brightest men in the Eng
lish field of letters, died few days
ago without attracting more atten-,
ton than would be given to a cold
contracted by Douglas Fairbanks.
Saltus was that unfortunate type of
writer, who, educated above the
masses. never learned how to write
for them. As consequence. while
Harold Bell Wright. Rex Beach, Zane
Grey, and other best sellers" were
coming gold. he was making a. few
pennies from the sale OF his exauis-
itely written books.
Immediately after Mr.. Harding WAS
nominated for the Presidency. he was
asked what book had given him the
greatest pleasure. He replied that
Edgar Saltus' Imperial Purple" a
tale of ancient Rome, had fascinated
him more than any other volume.
Friends of Saltus hoped that this free
publicity would cause demand for
his books, but the wish was a vain one.
Educated at ST. PauIs Schoo. the
Soreonne, Paris. and In Munich and
Heidelburg universities. and a grad
uate OF the law school OF Columbia
University, Saitus early turned To lii
erature. and wrote in all approxi-
mately twenty novels and volumes OF
essays. He did more, possibly. than
any American to popularize the works
of Balzac on the American continent.
His monograph on the French mas
ter is considered a classic of its kind
even today. which is unusual when
it is remembered that it was written
shortly after the subjects death, be-
fore all the facts of hts life were gem
orally known. Yet the estimate which
Saltus made of his character and that
of his works is the accepted one.
1t is not without the bounds Of
probability that within the next two
decades the works of Saltus will be-
come popular with the average reader.
II not, they will at least furnish a
charming supply of colorful fiction
and philosophical essays for the man
of leisure who wishes to browse
through something little different
from current writings.

JUST FOLKS
THE TENTH MAN.
BY Edgar A. Guest.

Nine passed him by with hasty look,
Each bent on his eager way;
One glance at him was the most they
took,
Somebody stuck" said they;
But it never occurred to the nine to
heed
A strangers plight and a, strangers
need.
The tenth man looked at the stranded
car,
And he promptly stopped his own.
Lets see if / know what your trou-
bles are"
Said he in a cheerful tone;
Just stuck in the mire. Here's cable
stout.
Hitch onto my bus and I'll pun you
out
"A thousand thanks,s' said the stranger
then,
For the debt that | owe you;
I've counted them all and you're one
in ten
Such a kindly deed 10 do"
And the tenth man smiled and he an
swered then,
Make sure that you'll be the one in
ten"
Are you one of the nine who pass mer
by
In this hasty life we live?
Do you refuse with a downcast eye
The help which you could give.
Or are. you the one in ten whose creed
Is always to stop for the man in need

LEAGUE WILL DETERMINE.

DIPLOMACY BY CONFERENCE.

The suinmoning of disarmament

beginning OF new era in the conduct

has ceased TO be an art: IL has become

and the tact that is the lubricant of

The human factor in diplomacy does
not disappear just because the rules of
the game are altered. Yet the baser
elements of the art which fiourished
in the courts of Europe for centuries
Will gradually fall into abeyance. The

JAPANESE EMIGRATION.

Some persons strenuously opposed
the desire of Delawareans to place
certain restrictions upon JAPANESE
emigration 1 lis State. They were
persons with coed intentions. but their
reasoning was a. bit faulty, in the
Judgment of those citizens who favored
the protection of the American stock
from Asiatic invasions. OF course
Japan has never practiced what she
preaches-an open door at every port.
For many years Japan has discour-
aged any settlement by foreigners on
her shores, while at the same time
she has sent her emigrants to every
Now comes the Mining and Scien-I
ufic Press of San Francisco, and re-
veals the fact that Japan established
her policy toward emigrants upon the
advice of Herbert Spencer, who in his
day was probably the most respected
English economist Every bit of adj
vice which Spencer gave to the Jap
anese could be applicable to America
at the present time. Here is what
the Press says on this matter, as re-
ported in the Literary Digest:
When Japan organized her .gev-
ernment she asked Spencer, who was
considered one of the greatest eco
nomists of his time and an accepted
authority on such subjects. whether
foreigners should be admitted. EN-
phatically no. was the reply. Spencer
then wrote letter to the statesmen
Of Japan, stipulating that it should
not be published until after his death:
and in it he advised the japanese TO
grant to foreigners only bare COM
mercial privileges. to forbid them 10
own lands. and to hold them at arms

it is impossible biologicaIly under such
circumstances TO produce a race that

by tie attempt at amaIgamation. Thus
: = impossible to consider the Jap
ansee as coming to our country for
the purpose of assimilation; and they
know it. They themselves have re-
fused to foreigners all the privileges
they ask OF US; they have granted
them, as they were advised by Herbert
Spencer, only bare commercial priyi-
leges; and this has been to their great
advantage for they have preserved
the purity Of their race. In the arts
and in manufactures they are success
fui. and as fighting people they
rank with the best.
Writing on the. subject of Chinese

that If thsse foreigners were allowed

they would remain unmixcd. In either
case, supposing the immigration to be

result, leading to disorganization. The
