The sugar producers are making an earn
est effort to prevent the Senate from reduc
lag the duty on sugar. The Senate tariff
bill provides for reduction OF 50 per cent.
Of tie present duty The Louisiana sugar
planters have always Considered b Replb-
lican party their friend, a ID have tspanded
more upon that party than the Dem 'stic
party TO maintain high protective duty On
sugar. They are now finding out their
mistake. The Democratic party has always
considered the sugar tariff revenue tariff,
because about all tie money raised from 1t
goes into the treasury. The republicans
probably also regard It as such, but just
now they want to reduce the revenue with
out touching the interests Of any of the
northern manufacturing monopolles Iney
therefore propose to reduce the sugar ter
i'll below q point at which sugar
can be proftably cultivated, II
they would cut down the tariff on
all articles which the sugar planters
need in the production Of sugar the plan
ters would not have so much cause for COM
plant, but they don't intend to do that.
| However, it is by no means certain that
they will get the Senate TO agree to so great
reduction in the sugar duty as they pro-
pose. Several Of the republican senator's
are interested in having the pre- ent duty
maintained. The Kansas senators, for in
stance, think that their state will soon
| produce sugar from sorghum on an
extensive scale, ard, hence. they want
sugar amply protected. California
has just begun to produce sugar from beets,
aud there is q demsnd from that state for
high sugar tariff. In California, last
year 900 acres Of sugar bests were cult
waited. The yield was $1,000 tons Of beets,
! from which | $40 tons II sug n were OBJ
tanned. The beets yielded, on an average,
! fifteen to9s TO the acre, AID the farmers re-
ceived g. 80 a ton for them Mr. Spreckes,
! who purchased the beets, netted a profit
CT SIS per ton on the sugar, or about
II per cent. or his investment in
buildings and machinery. The farmers
made better profit Ga their beet crop than
any otaer Last year is regarded as an ex-
perimental one, and with the experience
they have gained, they think they will do
much better this year.
Senator Sherman proposes in lieu Of the
| IGluttlJl III uuOJs ~ give lue sugar pidutei .
l cent pound bounty on sugar. The wis
dom Of his proposition is not clearly APP
parent. 1t doesn't satisfy the plsnters, and
the people would not get sugar very much if
any cheaper, because tho chance are that
the countries exporting it would put an
export duty upon it. The result would be
that sugar planters in this country would
be rjur-l, ou- people would not set cheaper
sugar, and our treasury would bs deprived
Of at least half ats revenue from sugar, and
il the bounty system were once adopted
there woull DO a precedent Tor granting
bountiss to producers Of other crops The
republicans condemn the Mills BILL but be
fore they get their tariff bill into shape the
probability is they will be ready to admit
that it Is a much wiser bill than they are
now willing 10 admit that t is

Harry Furn.ss, the we.l-known car!catlsist
on the staff OF Punch, tells the following anec
dote, which illustrates some Ct the troubles OF
the harass-d portrait painter:
A man once called upon a portrait painter
and asked him to paint his father
But where is your father p asked he OF the
brush
"Oh. he died ten years ago
''Ther how can paint him - asked the artist
why" was the reply, II have just seen your
portrait of Moses. surely, If you can paint the
years ago you can more easily paint the por-
trait OF my father, who has only been dead ten
years.
Seeing the sort Of man with whom he had TO
deal, The artist undertook the work.
When the picture was finished, the newly
blossomed art-patron was calel in to see it.
He gszed at it in silence for some time. his eyes
filling with tears. and then softly and reverently
said

Sherman's Returning Board Bill

Senator Sherman is one of those public
men who apparently never forget anything.
II Louisiana in 1915 he learned something
about the operations Of returning boards.
He saw how by means OF them that state
was counted for HAYES for President, and
he has concluded that no better means could
be devised for carrying congressional dis
tricts in the south for the Republican party
The bill, which he introduced into the SEN
ate the other day for conducting cougre,-
sioual elections, provides for state canvass
ing and congressional dis riot boards, the
members of which are TO be appointed by
the President. In other words, Mr. Sher-
man proposes the returning DO I'd, modelled
on the famous Louisiana returning board,
for the whole country. He wants it used
only TO pass upon the ballots cast for con-
gressmen.
1t was hoped that Mr. Sherman was
ashamed Of his part in the Louisiana re-
turning b ard business, and that he would
not willingly do anything that would call
Eliza Pinkston to the public mind again.
IL seems, however, that ne regards his
Louisiana experience as valuable, and that
he would like TO see returning boards eStab-
lished throughout the country. His eK-
perience with Wells and Anderson, the lead
ing members Of the Louisiana returni. <
board, must have been far more satisfactory
to him than the public thought il was.
Would he like TO see ssch men in control
again Of returning boards in the SOUTH
They would certainly do the bidding " their
party, but they would have to be rewarded.
Perhaps Mr.. Sherman thinks that with re-
turning boards appointed by republican
President, tue Republican party could keep
itself in power for the next quarter of a
century. The country, however, will never
consent to Dir. Sherman's returning board
scheme.

The little city Of Oskaloosl, Kan, has a
woman for mayor and city council com
posed of women, and they are doing their
work SO well that before their terms expire
they probably will have given Oskaloosa
the best administration it has had in quite
numbar OF years, if not in lis history.
Before they were elected the affairs Of the
city were conducted by men. Things went
ON in a slips cd sort OF way, free railroad
passes were accepted as a matter of right
and 1t always was stipulated that city Off
cials and their wives should 10 admitted
free to entertainments. Contracts were
awarded to favorites, and those parts of the
city in which aldermen built residences
were improved, while the rest of the city
was given over to mudholes and bad odors.
A change for the better took place, how
ever, when city fathers gave way tt citv
mothers. II was announced from the start
that all business house,, except hotels and
drug stores, must be closet on Sundays
The g,ocerymen, restauranteurs and bar
bers did some vigorous kicking, but they
had to obey the order, as the council was a
unit in its favor, and could not be bull
uOltl VI btEEcu lllNO ItsA 'AAlbtuk IL hdl-
road passes were declined without thanks,
and he railroad authorities were notified
that they must comply with the law and
slackel the speed OF their trains in coming
into the city. Street lights were placed
where they were needed, and not IN favored
localities; no Partially was shown to city
officials in masing pubic improvements,
aud contracts were awarded TO the lowest
bidders In short, the fame Of Oskaloosa's
female government extended not only
throughout the state, but beyo d state lines.
Mrs. Belva lockwood and her followers
no doubt have derived great satisfaction
from this vindication of womaus executive
ability, but although there have been other
instances Of the capacity of women to con
duct public affairs, it is not probable that
tho right to vote and to hold Office viii b.
granted to them in other ates very soon.
Some very Jealous people are q: work TO
secure for them the right, but the women
generally Of the country are not in favor Of
it, and a great majority Of tie men
are opposed to it. At the same time,
the people Of some small towns in Georgia
would open their eyes in amazsment if tho
town authorities were to ate d 70 their
duties AS conscientiously and intelligently
as those OF OSkaloosa have.

not for an instant be tolerated in any other society in ChristendoEl. It has become the fashion among a certain set in New York for girls to give afternoon teas and invite
 their friends of both sexes, with the under
 standing that neither mamma nor any other
 chauerone is to appear. Customs of this sort can not be too vigorously decried. Very young people, like our society S rose- buds" and the miniature youths who lutter about then, should not be given such unre-
 strained liberty, hot because it necessarily
 lowers the moral tone of society, but be-
 cause inexperierce always needs super vision. When the blind lead tho blind it sometimes happens that both fall into the ditch.
 Let our girls also reflect that ell tho
 great women of history, those who have been brilliant stars in the constellation of letters like Madame de Stael, or celebrated beauties like Madame Recamier, have all ways wielded their powerful scepters moro by their fascinating manners and that in- descrlbable something which the French call ufe bonne tO,Tnure, than by mere intel lectual superiority or simple physical per lection. Madame de Stael in her spacious salon, conversing with her guests, many of them foremost in literature, science and politics, with no other ornament than the delicate sprig of laurel in her beautiful hands, her plain face aglow with the light of broad and commanding genius, pre- sents a picture that tells it's own story. Genius, even talent, of course can not be acquired to order, but every woman can cultivate fine manners. We have all heard platitudes and truisms spoken with SO great charm of voice and bearing that the words have seemed to us veritable pearls of wisdom.
 In New York an obvious uncertainty and
 want of tirmess pervade society. We see hostess covered with embarrassment and | her daughters exhibiting an ashwardness
 for which there is absolutely no reason, and which is perfectly evident to the guests. - Nowadays, when conversation has be- come lost art, when our minds are hamp- cred with business cares and domestic worries and our intelligence given over mostly to the unaeSthetic occupation of | money-getting, we need the more the geni- al, beautifying influence of good manners, and the most indefatigable students thereof ought to be our society girls, who in course | of time must themselves become the moni- tors of culture.
 Defect in manners,'' says that wise | philosopher Emerson, lis usually the defect of fine perceptions and later he adds: A beautiful form is better than 8 beautiful | face; a beautiful behavior is better than a beautiful form it gives 8 higher pleasure | than statues or pictures; it is the finest of the fine artSr
