There is evidencs. that the govern- ment is firm in its policy and the re- sult should be a great bemefit to the physical and moral welfare of that natfon. Tt is a move which should have its effects in other sections of the world where too little attention is now given to the harmful effects of eptum. - SOLVING THE PROBLEM AN- OTHER WAY. Ber stnce the price of gasoline has been advanced, going to almost three times its former price and then drop- ping back to about double, there has been a clamor for a cheaper fuel for internal combustion engines. Some progress has been made in other countries toward the development of a combination fuel which cuts the cost &nd dnes the work just as well. There have been efforts made in this coln- try to accomplish the same object and there have been stories ‘of various kinds of liquids which can be manu- factured and sold for almost nothing which will do what 1s demanded in this direction, ‘but as yet they have not been marketed and the result is that if automobiles are going to be run, gasoline must be purchesed and the high price paid. Turning from the question of gaso- line, the quantity of which is limited, to kerosine which is plentiful inven- tors have gotten around the problem by perfecting a carburetor which will prevent the accumulation of carbon &ny more than as if gasoline is used, and which will so mix the kerosine and air as to secure combustion en- tirely satisfactory for automobile use, according to one trade journal. That being the case it ought to be heralded as one of the great inventions of the day. It solves the problem of cheap motor fuel and that is what hundreds of thousands throughout the country have long demanded, and it is further evidence to support the old saying that there is more than one way of skinning @ eat. THE BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY. The past year has been ons of great activity in the sugar beet industry of this country. There has been & tre- mendous output and there have been large dividends declared, all of which should, if it doesn’t, mean better work- ing conditions for those employed in that business. This improvement has been due to the situation which has prevafled abroad. Germany, ‘Austria-Hungary, Russia and Holland are all great rais- ers of the sugar beet and the pro- ducers of beet sugar. The war has been the means of stopping the pro- Quétion and preventing the expor- tatlon of that commodity in all but one of these countries and the result Is that the industry in this country has received an extra amount of pro- tection. There has been an increased demand for sugar from this country to supply mot only the domestic but the foreign trade. As long as the war lasts there will continue to be this same situation and the record break- ing’ imports of sugar beet seed in an- ticipation of increased production of sugar beets indicates what can be ex- pected as’long as this war protection exists. ~ That the companies so engaged are able to make forty or fifty per cent. dividends is not satisfaction enough. From the way in which the business has Dbeen developed and profits taken there Is reason togexpect that it will be re- flected in the ending of child labor in the beet flelds and the improvement of working conditions In general so that the workmen thus employed and even the consumer will also feel the benefit, and there is also reason to expect that this will follow if it can be shown that such conditions are go- Ing to be permanent and not spas- modic, &nd the possibility of the erip- pling of the industry through tarift changes following the war can be overcome. These are certainly im- provements ‘which are demanded. EDITORIAL NOTES. Welght doesn’t have any terror for high prices. Even pig iron is said to be going up.

The National Geographic Soci- ety has issued the following bulietin describing this unique village: ‘Not more than 35 miles eoutheas: of Rothenthurm Pass, and 20 nil northwest of Pitesel, on the railro#d which connects these two points, ' is Curtea d'Argesch, one of the oldest towns in Rumania and the second capital of the principality of Wall- achia, founded ir the thirteenth cen- tury. “When the famous Rumanian chief- tain Radu Negru (Rudo!ph the Black) led a band of pionecrs over the Tran- sylvania Alps down toward the Wa& achian plains he first cstablished A court at Campulung, which is a short distance southeast of the Togburg Pass. A few years iater he moved his court (Curtea) to the right bank of the River Argesch, which rises in the Transylvanian Alps and flows in a southeasterly direction, entering the Danube at Turtukal. ‘Thus was Ar- gesch established and one of Radu’s first cares was to build a church on what tradition savs was tho site of a Roman temple. The beautiful pile of white and gold architecture now known as the cathedrai of Curtea d' Argesch and generally recognized as the most impressive ecclesiastical structure in Rumania is supposed to have been raised on the foundations of the earlier church hy the Wallachian prince Nogoe, or Neagoe Bassarab, during the first half the 16th century. “Rumanian _history is highly col- ored with legends and one of the most picturesque traditions handed down from generation to gemeration Is that which ' concerns the erection of this cathedral. Prince’ Nogoe, 50 goes thc story, was a prisoner in Constantino- ple during his early manhood, and during that period was eommissioned by the Sultan to build a mosque. When the work was completed Nogoe persuaded the pleased potentate to give him (the architoct) the material which was left over. This was sent to Curtea @’Argesch, and when the prince finally returned to his Dative land he employed Manole, an archi- tect, to erect a cathedral, under his. Nogoe's direct supervision. ~Thus a Byzantine-looking structure with cer- tain moorish embellishments began to take form, nut the work proceeded too slowly to satisfy the prince and Man- ole was ordered to hasten operations. The latter, fearing for his.life if the building was not soon completed, yet handicapped by a series of mishaps to the walls, was finally prevailed upon to listen {fo the superstitious advice of some of his associates—that the church walls would never stand until a living woman Had been placed insids to_suport them. “Who should the victim be? Tt was finally agreed between. the archi- tect and the masons that the first woman arriving at the church the next day with food for her husband should be sacrificed. All agreed _to keep secret tiie method of choice, but Manole alone kept his word. The oth- er wives, being warned, stayed aiway from the building the next day, but Utza, Manole's devoted helpmate, ap- peared as usual. With his own hands Manole placed Utza i & crovice - and immured. her. “The walls fell no more afer that and the cathedral was soon completed. But the arrogant workmen were S0 boastful of their ackicvement that the prince, in disgust, had all the seaf- folding of the church removed while the masons and the architect were put.- ting the finishing touches to ‘he Thus, all the bniliers starved t death—all eave u:\m;}:‘t whio one day approached the pgrapet and, hearing his beloved wife calling him, fell to the pavement and died.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Let Us Be Rational. Mr, Editor: I am not at_all sur- prised by the attitude of A Southerner. The people of the north and the south are very much a'ike mcasured by the simple rule.of human nature. Lincoln looked upon the scuthern leaders as men who had erred not as men who were vile. All well-read people know they were men of goud heart and fine personal quality who rigked all for a cause and lost all. Those who believad in that cause can do no less than defend them and be self-respecting; and there is really no reason why we should expect them to be. They car be loyal Americans and still do this. The “lost cause” they recognize as lost. We mortherncrs may <as well recognize that it would ke well if there was no south, and rorth, but just one America.

Just after the war it chould be re- membered a southern band played “Dixic” as Lincoln was reviewing the line, and the narrow souls about him flew into a passicn, saying Lincoln had been insulted. “O, no,” said Lincoln. “We captured that song and it is ours!” and we all know “Dixie” capti- vates us even unto this da; A VETERAN SOLDIER. Norwich, Nov. 27, i916. Robert E. Le: Mr. Editor: It is unfortunate that the two words—traitor and seced- er—is not better understood. If I understand the meaning of a traitor it is ane who betrays, deceives and acts in a treacherous manner—guilty of treason, faithless, one who con- spires. A seceder is one Who with- draws from fellowship, to separate ones self by a solemn act. On April 23, 1861, Robert E. Lee, late colonel of calvary in the U. S. army, to whom command of the Union army to put in the field had been of- fered by authority of President Lin- coln, accepted a commission in the military forces of his native state of Virginia and assumed command of the forces at Richmond. Lee regretted secession but the course of events that placed this of- ficer, one of the finest soldiers of the day under the fits of condederacy, had Dbeeg powerful. He had declared, and wh8 ever doubted him, that if he owned all the slaves m the state—he would liberate them to save the Union. But he represented the spirit of the South in the view that he could not desert his native state whatever its course. Robert . Lee perhaps had more at stake in sentiment, in repu- tation and in the thing that a man holds dearest—his home—than any other officer who left the services of the Union to follow tne fortunes of the South. His mansion on the banks of the Potomac, looking out from the lovely ‘Arlington Heights across the river to the federal capitol was one of the most beautiful homes In the land. 1t stood on historic ground in Virginia —in which the Washington and Lees were honored alike. When the time came to dgcide between the Union and his state he passed through a strug- gle which a man of less lofty char- acter would have been spared. But at iast he came to the conclusion that he could mot raise his hand against Virginia. Of one of the best families of Virginia, “a _son of Lighthouse Harry,” of the Revolution, he had all the virtues and none of the vices of the best manhood of the South. He was honest, refined, and courteous. He controlled "himset, so why could he not control others. He used neither. tobacco nor liguor, As a soldier, he had had a long experience. . A grad- uate of West Point he kad won great distinction under General Scott. He ‘was an engineer as well as a tactician. The South was fortunate, indeed, in obtaining. the services of such a man. This is the type of man that th Dnionist terms a traitor, a coward, a rebel, a man who would separate mother from her children, and who would lash men @nd women until the blood ran down to.thelr Neith- er the men;we_ had.at the. ot ‘the winter. It failed because editors of the country came to the defense of the public rights, and the bill was post- Pored until after election. Another vicious, measure is the Myers bill, which does for waterpow- er on public lands what the Shields bill does on navigable streams. The two are:cut from the same piece of cloth, and have the same interests be- hind them. The Myers bill is on the senate calander, and will be consider- ed early in the comins session. These two bills give away public property to powerful monopolists. That is bad enough, but the oil land provisions of the Phelan bill are even worst. This bill will be taken up im- mediately when congress convenes. It disposes of vast areas of public oil lands on terms unfair to the public. It is almost unbelievable, but this measure actually gives away the fuel oil reserves of the United States navy to claimants whom the supreme court recently declared to have no legal rights whatever. The efficiency of the navy, our first and most import- ant line of natsonal defense, is to be sacrificed to the profits of the Stand- ard ofl company, the Santa Fe railroad interests, and a few other claimants, who want what they have no’ right to get. As to this, the navy department has officially said: “Oil burning naval vessels possess such monifold military _advantages over coal burning vessels that it would be practically suicidal from a military point of view for the navy department to abandon the policy of buildibg oil burning ships; but the de- mand that this legislation be enacted and the support that this bill has re- ceived, have caused the navy depart- ment to seriously consider the advisa- bility of abandoning this policy, and thus desfgn ships known to be In- ferfor to ships which a country pos sessing an oil supply can build. These bills have made such pro- gress that the advantage of position Is with them and against the public. Every effort will be made to jam them through at the begianing of the short session of congress. Powerful water- power and ofl interests are fighting for them. I appeal to you as a citizen interested in the public welfare with- out regard to politics to lend a hand in defeating these attacks on public property on the safety and welfare of the navy and the nation.
