praised Gov. Gen. Leonard Wood, ex-
pressed his sympathy for the Fill

declared It incOnceiVable that the
United States should desire to exploit
the islands. Mr.. Stimson said:
II sympathize thoroughly with the
desires of the Filipino people for self
government But self government and
national independence are two quite
different things.
Many of my Filipino friends have
expressed the view that if the United
States should withdraw from the Is
lands it could be counted on to pro.
tect them in case they should be
threa tened thereafter with danger
from other sources or nations. They
could not make greater error. Con-

tionS We're favorable.
EXpa nSlon of the sales of cigars
has heen almost as great in the last
year, although for some reasons it
has appeared that the use Of this
form of smokes was on the wane.
The cigar trade lost ground from 1928
until 1926 at the rate Of about per
cent year. This year a number of
factors have combined to halt the
loss. Total output of cigars this year
has been ahead of that of 1925. This
rejected the - per cent tax reduc-
ton which became effective in March,
and the trend toward lower cigar
prices has served to bolster dema nd
which seems bound to be lasting.
Leaf Tobacco Declines.
Leaf tobacco used in many Of the
cigar brands mas declined 30 to 30 per
cent in price. The old hand methods
have been Supplanted in manufac,
ture Of cheaper grades by new and
improved machinery. Extensive ma
tfonal advertising has encouraged ef-
forts of retail dealers. There has
been return of the sale of what
former Vice President Thomas Mar
shall once said America needed most
a good five-cent cigar" although the
prices of some of the products which
would normally come under that head
Ing still retail at or around I cents.
The profits of four of these larger
cigar companies have improved this
year from 9 to 96 per cent.
The return of the scent cigar has
not involved any loss to the business
done by manufacturers of the gradse
which retail from Is to SO cents each.
Their customers have developed q
taste and discrimination which in
SureS continued purchases. at least
during the present period of prosper
lty. Expert hand cigar makers, pre-
rerably those with Cuban training, are
and will continue to be in demand. AL
though the shape of the brands most
popular at present does not involve
the expert manipulation required in
pre-war years.
The manufacturers Of popular.
priced blended cigarettes have been
working to capacity and are putting
on more workers as the endSof the
year approaches. This employment
trend is also in evidences in the cigar
factories. The Fall and pre-Christ-
mas periods are always the best of
the year in the cigar trade. This
trend will be strengthened this year
by the tendency toward reduction of
prices, especially by the box or in
bulk.

WITHOUT EXCUSE

With soft coal selling in New York
for from sixteen to nineteen dollars
per ton 1t seems permissible for the
public to conclude the coal dealers
CT the metropolis are not above
prof1teering, imposing a pneumonia
tax and taking several pounds of
flesh nearest the heart. The reports
do not disclose any activity in dis
couraging this on the part of New
York's politicians. They are too busy
trying to play politics by involving
the President in this coal fight. If
Federal interference has to come
there will be not few. we believe,
who will wish the first move of the
Federal Government to be a refusal
to permit any coal being shipped
over interstate lines to any COM
munity to be sold by profiteering
dealers therein.
We do not suppose the coal
profiteers would be even annoyed to
learn that there are some in the
world who If they had to choose be-
tween the company Of highwaymen
and the coal crooks would prefer the
former. We have not learned Of any
coal profiteering here in Maine. GER
tainly not in Augusta. And If there
is no good excuse for it here there Is
none anywhere.
