INTERNATIONAL SPORT

1t is not very likely that any of the
British yacht owners will challenge for
the Americas cup this year. Mr.. Charles
D. Rose, who has been for two years
mentioned as a prospective challenger,
says that up to the present time the
thought has not entered his mind the
present season. Still, he says: There
is nothing I would like better than to
challenge for the Americas cup" Mr..
Rose has a new yacht, the Aurora,
which will make it's first appearance at
the Cowes regatta. If the Aurora does
well, we. may yet hear from her sports
manlike owner.

PETTY FALSIFICATION

We note with satisfaction that our
contemporary. the Express, although
Republican paper and sometimes quite
partisan. has the candor and manliness
to repudiate the mass of Cheap John
lies perpetrated by the New York Trib-
une relative to the Bryan meetng in this
city. 1t is true, there was some misun-
Outstanding previously as to the char
acter of Mr.. Bryan's address at Fiesta
park, but this was corrected as soon as
Mr.. Bryan arrived here. and every body
who went to the park knew exactly what
to expect; that the orator would discuss
live issues of the day That is exactly
what he did, in broad-Spirited, gertle-
manly, patriotic way. A more enjoy
able and a more practically patriotic
Fourth of July orat ton was never de-
livered in Los Angeles No fair-minded
man or woman was Disguised with it.
On the contrary, many people of op-
posing political faith expressed them
selves as delighted with Mr. Bryab's
eloquence. People who paid SO cents
apiece to obtain a reserved seat near the
speakers stand did not begrudge the
expense. No charge was made for ad-
mission to the park, and thousands were,
provided with seats gratis.
1t may be some satisfaction to a New
York paper like the Tribune to indulge
in such petty Misrepresentation, but
surely the resort to such tactics must
prejudice the Republican cause among
fair-minded people who are informed as
to the true facts of the case

WEDNESDAY JULY a.. 1907
WORKING THE TARIFF GAME

The conferees upon the new tariff have
agreed upon their report and it only re-
mains now for the majority to rush the
measure through-both- houses in, order to
launch the high protective tariff upon
the country. The presidential approval
is, of course, foregone conclusion.
AS was expected from the peculiar
constitution Of the house. there has been
pretty general surrender all along the
line on the part of the senate committee,
as the only means of arriving at COM
mon understanding. Dingley could af-.
ford to be arrogant with the autocrat of
the house at his back, so that the senate
conferees must be satisfied with so much
as he chose to concede.
One Of the most destructive features
Of this entire measure that is made an
parent at this time is the manner in
which it has enabled the sugar trust to
exploit the government and the people
at one and the same time so as to defect
into its. own Golfers the greater part of
the revenue to be derived from
the sugar schedule for more than a year
to come. The means by which this end
has been attained is characteristic. The
barons of the sugar trust being at all
times in touch with the Mckinley senti-
ment, his success was known to them to
assure the adoption Of protective tariff
and his agents were prepared to give all
necessary assurances that sugar should
be a favored commodity.
Under those circumstances, as soon as
the election of Mr.. Mckinley was as
sured the trust lost no time in sending
Its agents abroad to purchase every
pound of raw sugar that could be OBJ
tanned. So thoroughly and we'll was this
order executed that some few months
ago the trust had secured and in storage
at the ports of New York, Boston, Phil
adelphia and. Baltimore nearly 300, 900
tons Of raw sugar-which may possibly
be increased to 100000 tons before this
bill shall have gone into effect. But the
rates to the consumer upon this vast ac-
emulation of cheap sugar will be ad-
vanced to the protective tariff standard
rate on the day that the Dingley bill be-
comes law, and hence the measure that
has been designed to furnish revenue to
meet the expenses of the government
operates only as a scheme by which the
consumers are compelled to pay an in
creased rate, every dollar of which is de-
Elected into the pockets OF the sugar
trust. II we suppose, now that the $780,
600 tons on storage at last account should
not have increased up to the date of the
passage OF the bill there would still be
on hand this 1,sO0, O0o. 900 pounds of raw
sugar. The revenue upon this sugar un-
der the schedule would amount to about
SO 1000, 900. all of which will be extracted
from the people under the demand for
an Increased revenue, but not one dollar
Of which will go to swell the revenue.
And, this IL only one schedule Of this
precious revenue measure. Really, Re-

EVERY MAN ACCORDING TO HIS
OWN HUMOR

What Is fun? What is rest? 1t all
depends upon the person and the point
of view. Opinions frequently differ
Everybody has heard of the stingy man
who refused to let his little boy go to the
circus. but promised instead to take him
to see his great grandmother's grave, if
he would promise to be good and not
tease. The boys thoughts were not re-
corded but they may be imagined.
Some people have queer ideas as to
recreation and rest. Nearly everybody
finds them in doing something totally
different from their ordinary pursuits
They must "get away from the shop"
in order to enjoy themselves.

comb. the well-known statistician, SCI
enlist. lecturer and magazine writer, and

FIGHTING A MERcILEss TRUST

The defenders of the Standard oil trust
are prone to assert that the trust Is a
great public benefactor because it has
made the price of oil lower than it used
to be. The people of Los Angeles are
given a practical illustrate of the man.
ner in which the Standard Oil company
lowers the price of it's product, and the
reasons therefor in the fight between
it and the Puente Oil company. A local
item says:
The local oil market is becoming de-
moralized and prices are going way
down. This condition is believed to be
a result of the fight between the Stand
ard Oil company and the Puente Oil
company. The Standards Oil people
made an attempt recently to buy the
Puente company's plant, but failed, and
thus far the Puente people have met
every cut.
The fight will doubtless continue until
the Puente company is bought out, fro
zen out or cleaned out. The Standard
Oil company allows no competition.
Precisely the same state of affairs OBJ
tanned in Colorado few years ago. The
Rocky Mountain Oil company secured
some good wells in the Florence dis
trict and built up large trade in Den
yer and elsewhere. The Standard Oil
company tried to buy it out, but the
owners refused to sell. War followed,
and in a short time oil dropped from
twenty cents to five cents a gallon at
retail. The countless millions of the
Standard oil monopoly were too much
for the Rocky Mountain people and in
a short time they were forced to sell
out. Then oil went back to twenty
cents a gallon and has remained there
ever since.
A few days ago The Herald reproduced
a few words from the decision of Judge
Champlin in the Diamond Match case,
and they are worth another repetition.
The Diamond Match company, it should
be understood, is a monopoly operated
along the same lines as the Standard
Oil company:
Such a vast combination as has been
entered into under the above name
CThe Diamond Match company is
menace to the public. It's object and
direct tendency is to prevent free and
fair competition and to control prices
throughout the national domain. 1t is
no answer to say that this monopoly
has in fact reduced the price Of friction
matches. That policy may have been
necessary to crush competition. The
fact exists that 1t rests in the discretion
Of this company at any time to raise
the price to an exorbitant degree. Such
combinations have frequently been con-
demned by courts as unlawful and
against public policy,
Substitute the words STANDARD Oil
company" for the Diamond Match COM
pany, and you have the present case in
a nutshell. And, notwithstanding such
combinations are against public policy,
and have been frequently condemned
by courts as unlawful, it is merely a
waste Of space to ask, what is going to
be done about it?
