THE ENFORCEMENT OF NATION
 AL PROHIBITION.

After making survey of the first year of national prohibition the New York Herald said that while the record was not all that the friends of prohibi- ton could wish, nevertheless it was, perhaps. quite as good in the situation as might have been expected by close thinkers.
 Granting that this record would give hope to "the millions of surface think CTS" who are openly at war with na- tional prohibition" and would encour- age the vigorous" and determined an u-prohibition propaganda now of na- tion-wide scope. that has the backing of unlimited money the New York Herald expressed its belief that the op- ponents of the government in this fight are certain to be beaten in the end, be- cause the government, with it's bound less resources, will compel obedience to its law. Defying the law of a state k one thing; defying the law of the na- tional government is quite another the Herald said The New York Her aid has done a good service with it's fair and just appraisal of the cituatiOn and it's solemn warning to all who would seek to overthrow or circumvent national prohibition. Prohibition is the law of the United States and. as we said in these columns when discussing the aston of the House of Representa- tives iii in reasing the appropriation for enforcement of the yolsttad act. the United States government has nev- CT yet failed to compel obedience to and respect for its laws. and 1t cannot afford to fail in the matte of prohi- hition Arkansas Gazette.

CANE SYRUP IMPROVED BY
 THE USE OF EARTH FILTER

Infusorial earth applied to the maiiu- fracture of cane sirup produces clear ger. milder. and more platable product thnn is usually obtained by suipher justification or by skimming. The Bu- reau of Chemistry, United States De uartment of Agriculture, has been eA- ,,arimenting with the new process, ana thcir report. recently published Ill p,lletin 9oI. seems to indicate that inc day of the dark. muddy, unattrae- tive cane sirup has nearly passed. llie u.e of milk of lime and sulpher fumes .n >rparate the impurities from cane mice k difficult to control properly ana mot entirely satisfactory. Too hloeti lime makes the sirllp very dark Tn color and too much sulpher dloXide gives it il metallic taste. which makes it generally unpopular.
 Skimning. which is another method used for clarifying sirup. usually pro duc,s a platablec product, but one that Is ant ,o he dscolored by sediment and difficult to standardize.
 The new process consists in heat ing the juice as it comes from the mii 70 the boiling temperature. At this stage 4 small amount of infusoral rnrth-aboub r pounds to 200 gallons of uice-s added. and after mixing thoroughly the juice is pumped through n filter press. The resulting tiltrate is bright and clear and ready TOT immediate evaporation to sirup. No further skimming or other treatment |. necessary. The color will depend ,,,,o, the care taken to prevent scorch- ing durng the evaporation and the flavor of the sirup will be the natural cane flavor. The matriai aded is an inert. tasteless substance which has no action other than to remove impuri- ties from the juice.
 The process can not be eonducted properly by the farmer who produces only a small amount of sirup by skim ming and evaporation. but it does lend itself to small steam factories and to inc la rger factories of a capacity rang ing form a few hundred to many thou sand gallons q day. The earth filtra- ton process in sirup factor handling 70 tons of cane d day will add about a2 cents per ton of cane ground to the cost of manufacture However, in q plant of this capacity employing the skimming process, the daily loss is ! figured to be from 25 to 60 gallons of sirup.

this loss can be reduced to 5 gallons of sirup. At an average price of sl T gallon this means d saving of about S22 day.
 Another advantage gained by the use of the earth and filter press is i'll the saving of time effected. The Juice as it comes from the filter press is clean and bright and can be eyaporated as rapidly as possible to finish sirup.

 Yet he was born apart from the null tftude whom he led and he might have lived and died stranger to the masses of his countrymen but for one thing {: He had not the health to enjoy the life of ease which opened to him at his birth. Roosevelt had to fight for his very breath in his gasping, asthmatic childhood.
 Finally he took a postgraduate course in physical culture in the wild West. where the "four-eyed tenderfoot" had to fight the battle of his youth all

over again, in a strange world. with entirely different standards for meas uring men.
 Roosevelt cut his eye teeth in polit- ical leadership in the corrupt ma chine-run legislature of Ne" York. He could not have chosen a more thor ough school for instruction in the hid den. muddy springs of parties and pol tiles. His experience at Albany put realism into his idealism and made the academic reformer over into the most intensely practical politician we have had in the presidency.
 He decided at the outset to act in each office as if it was to be the last that he ever would get. and for nearly 15 years after he left the legislature. Roosevelt could not have been elected to anything in the boss-ridden state of New York. For long time he was "shelved" on the civil service commission at Washington until re-

La suspension de

N causa principal de la baja del ar

ciss ha empezado a traer para ell

do en- el sentido de que Sc suspen-

dl, que otros paises, que tambien ex

esa misma polftica.

mercado de az1car obedece a una de
eSas cOmblnlclones con que wall
Stret ha sabido en- todo tempo hacer
Sc ell arbitro del momento.
No sabemos hasta d6nde podra ser
cierta esa afrmaci6n; pero 10 que 81
creemos es que los lzucareros del
pals deben hacer algo por su indus
tria, 81 es cue no quieren que el pals
Sc hunda economicamente.
Con azdcar 81, no es possible ell
bienestar general, toda vez que de ese
articulo depende casi totalmente, la
vida economical de Puerto Rico.
Tenemos informes de que los azuca
reros del pals celebraran reuniones
acknowledgements, para tratar esas
cuestiones de vida o muerte para la
isla.
