The Beet Sugar Interests.

CFrom the Chicago Record -Herald.)
Congressman Hepburn of Iowa has set
himself squarely against tariff concessions
to Cuba. He speaks primarily for the
beet sugar interests. but having[com-
mitted himself on that ground appeals to
the tobacco interests for sympathy.
Neither of these interests cares anything
about the other. but each breads the COM
petition OF Il great Cuban export. and we
find them now in a very natural combina-
tion.
There is. however, no way in which we
could help Cuba so much as by a reduc-
tion of the sugar and tobacco duties, and
if the people who agree with Mr.. Hepburn
carry out their policies unirnpeded the
country will be in a very bad dilemma
morally Ii has refused Cuba complete
liberty. and il has shown a disposition
not to grant annexation which would re-
suit in free trade. IL prefers TO keep a
hold on the island which puts IL COM
pleteiy at its mercy.
Meantime it has been making loud pro-
fessinns of humanitarianism toward Cuba.
and has empha sized their hollowness by
a striking contrast between Its treatment
of that country and Hawaii Hawaii.
which has a much smaller proportion or
whites in its population than Cuba ana a
much larger proportion of Chinese anG
Japanese coolies, is admitted 10 the iui
rights of an American Territory ana given

IMPORTANT CHURCH MATTERS
Leading Questions to Come Before
Episcopal Convention

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. The trien-
NAL convention of the Protestant Epis-
copal Church of the United States will
open tomorrow with an attendance Of
ninety bishops. about 400 cleargynen. and
about $500 lay delegates. The session will
continue for nineteen days.
The J. Pierpont Morgan special train.
carrying Bishop Potter and other dlgna-
taries of the church, arrived today Mr..
Morgan and his party went TO the Charles
Crocker mansion on Mob Hill. where they
will be entertained during their stay here.
Three questions which will occupy the
convention are of great Importance. They
are the marriage of divorced persons. the
ritual and the Hawaiian Church. The
committee on marriage and divorce APP
pointed by the last convention. has pre-
pared a report which recommends that
no divorced persons be permitted to re-
marry in the Episcopal Church. Here
tofOre the innocent person in a divorce
suit has been allowed TO re-marry, but
the committee declares that as n uni
form divorce law is impossible, the
Church must set its face against the re-
marriage of even innocent parties. This
report will probably be adopted although
many Western delegates are opposed TO
its severe restrictions.
The ritualistic question has never re-
ceived any prominence at previous con-
ventions as the ritualiSts were mainly
confined to the churches of New York.
Chicago. Springfield and Fond du Lac,
and now San Francisco has been added to
the list The leaders in the rttualisttc
movement wish discussion and investiga-
tion and they regard this convention as
an excellent opportunity for the advance
ment of their cause. They confidently ex-
pect that when the question is thoroughly
understood that they will gain many ad-
hereuty

demanded of the other manufacturers a
raise of the same amount.
The Executive Committee Of the Manu-
facturers Association met today and dis
cussed the situation thoroughly At the
end of the session the secretary sent the
following communication to the Secretary
Of the Textile Council:
Il am instructed to inform you that
your request for an advance of per cent
cannot be entertained. The market condi-
tions do not warrant the advance asked
for. The present margin. figured ~, the
basis agreed to by your committee and
the manufacturers. is now 65.9i cents. Had
the manufacturers accepted the sliding
scale of wages proposed by your organi-
zation. which you were anxious to have
adopted. but which they considered so
unfair that they were compelled to re-
ject 1t. wages would now be based on IS
cents for weaving. The question of mar
gin cannot be eliminated from the wage
schedule. nor can the exceptional condi-
tions under which one or two corpora
tons are situated be accepted as sufficient
grounds on which to grant an advance"
This expresses the sentiment Of the
manufacturers. who virtually admit that
NJ. C. D. Borden caG turn out cloth cheap
er than the other mills Of the city. They
claim that the real reason for the de-
mand Is in the fact that Borden has raised
wages in his mills and they say that
they cannot and will not comply. no mat

prevent the legal government OF the
State from obtaining possession OF ltS

proved, to protect the murd5rers OF the
legal Governor, his assassination haV-
ing been cooily plotted by the leaders OF
the banditti. claiming TO have color OF
title to the chief offices of the Common
wealth. That was not the worst of 1t.
The creature who is now under indict-
ment. charged as an accessory before
the fact to Governor Goebels murder,
and who is almost universally suspect
ed of having planned and instigated it,
was received with applause when he
appeared on the floor of the Republican
National Convention at Philadelphia.
Without any attempt at concealment he
was praised for his services to the
party The country knows what the
chief achievement in the course of those
services probably was. Since that time,
Taylor has been harbored by two sue
cessive Republican Governors of Indl-
ana, who. in refusing to deliver him to
justice have defied the Constitution
and violated their oaths of office.
When we consider actions which have
made for anarchy, we must not forget
the too prevalent opinion among Re
publican party leaders that the assas-
sination of a Democratic Governor was
a matter which did not call for punish
ment. but rather one which imposed
the high duty of protecting the murder
ers from arrest and trial No greater
assault upon the safety of American
public officers ever was attempted than
has been involved in the illegal and un-
constitutional protection of tie fugi-

The Age of Mnn.

II speaks volumes for the social con-
ditions under which We are living that
even in countries where the birth rate
is falling of the average duration Of
life is increasing The old saying, as
surued to be automatic. that each sue
ceeding generation becomes weaker and
wiser" certainly falls far short of ex-
pressing the conditions which have pre-
vailed for some time past. Not only has
there been a distinct improvement in
physique. but there has been very
marked Increase in the average span of
human life. This is due mainly to i'm
provemenJs in medical and surgical
science, and TO q higher scale OF Iiv-
ing.
J. The Biblical limit Of three score years
and ten of really effective and
healthy life viii scarcely hold coed
now. All around us we see hale and
hearty men who are considerably past
that age This is notably true among
those who have led an active life, with
out being subjected 10 hardship and
strain In the list Of modern public
men there have been many within re-
cent years who have nearly or quite
reached the four-score mark with no
perceptible diminution Of mental pow
er. The collapse. when il came, has
generally been physical, and in most
cases this has been hastened by failure
to take proper exercise. Brain work
ers frequently are averse t2 muscular
exertion. and especially so after they
have passed the heyday of youth, and
to a great extent lost interest in athle-
tics. The result is indigestion and
kindred ailments. which rapidly weak

With proper care there is no appar-
ent reason why the maximum age for
efficient work either with brain or

raised Nature does not draw the line
arbitrarily at seventy years or any
where else. The natural strength Of

Circulation Efafemcnt.
Tariff W ars.

II is argued very stoutly that Europe
cannot seriously hurt US by adverse
tariff legislation because that continent
is so short Of food products and raw
material. which. it is claimed. must be
furnished chiefly by the United States.
This is a short-sighted view. We have
now become something more than a
mere exporter of such products. We
are sending out annually many million
dollars worth of manufactured goods,
and to keep up the standard of our
prosperity we must constantly increase
our exports upon this line. If our man
ufacturers should be shut out of Eu-
rope it would make a great difference
in business conditions here.
But even in food products we could
be injured greatly. high tariff on
wheat will increase the cost and di-
nlinish consumption. The argument
that people must eat does not fully
cover the case. We may admit that.
1t is true, nevertheless, that people can
econornize greatly even in their eating.
II the price OF wheat is unduly raised,
the effect will be to drive many people
TO the use of cheaper foods, such as
rye, oatmeal. and corn, all Of which
would operate to our disadvantage.
One of two things must certainly oc-
cur Either we would sell less wheat
in Europe, or We would have to lower
the price as an offset TO the higher
tariff. Probably we should be com
PEELED to do both, for high duties on
agricultural products in Europe u:.-
doubtedly would. to some extent, slim
ulate their production, and measurably
reduce the deficit to be purchased
abroad.
We may grant that in the event Of
a general tariff war the United States
would, upon the whole, be better of
than any other country, but that does
not in the least initiate against the
that we would suffer severe
ly. Such wars are necessarily harmful
to all who engage in them. and should
be avoided by every possible means.

ANTITRUST LAW UPHELD.
A Decision Rendered in the Ameri-
can lee Company Case.

ALBANY, n. Y, Oct 1.-The Court of
Appeals handed down decision today in
the American Ice Trust case sustaining
the constitutionality of the Donnelly anti
trust law and upholding the order granted
by Justice Chase upon the application of
Attorney General Davies. appointing Ref
cree Nussbaum to examine the Ice Trust
officials as to the trust character of the
company.
The Ice Trust controls largely in New
York. Philadelphia. Baltimore and Wash
ington. The case was instituted last year
when the trust arbitrarily fixed the price
of ice at so cents per 100 pounds.
This decision, which upholds the right
of the Attorney General to compel the
attendance of the officers of a monopoly
corporation before referee for the pur
pose of securing evidence upon which to
base an action to annul the charter of a
supposed monopoly corporation, does rot
affect all so called trusts, but only such
trusts which are n monopoly in their op-
Grafton. The referee, Myer Nussbaum.
appointed to conduct the Ice Trust en-
quiry, will continue his sittings just as
soon as he Is instructed to do SO by At
torney General Davies, who was not in
town tonight.
As the questions certified to the Court
of Appeals by the appellate division, COW
ering the constitutional right of the referee
to punish for contempt and the constitu-
tionality of the immunity provision of the
Donnelly antitrust law regarding wit
nesses We're not answered, the attorneys
for the Ice Trust can tie up further pro-
ceedings by Referee Nussbaum by ad-
vising their clients to refuse to answer
questions. The result will be that the
coIsstitutionality of the questions not
answered in today's decision of the Court
of Appeals will be brought specifically
before the lower court, and win be cGr-
ried on up through the appellate division
to the Court of Appeals. Such a course
would stop the proceeding before Referee
NussDaum for several months.
The attorneys for the Ice Trust. it was
stated tonight. are to appeal to the Uni
ted States Supreme Court from today $
decision claiming the law Is unconstitu-
tion, that ii is an invasion Of the private
rights of the citizen. and that it con-
templates a deprivation of the liberty
of the citizen without due process of law.

NOT ENTITLED TO EXTRA PAY.
Sen Duty Benefits Do Not Apply to
Warrant Officers.

Regarding the pay of Benjsmin D. Pen
der, carpenter in the United States
Navy, on duty at the United States naval
station at Honolulu II. l.. who claims to
be entitled to sea pay as an officer of the
navy on duty beyond seas within the
meaning of recent legislation amending
the Navy Personnel act, the Acting Comp
troller of the Treasury. L. r Mitchell
having been requested for his opinion by
the Secretary of the Navy. said:
THE contention of Mr.. Pender is that
he is an officer of the navy within the
meaning of the laws quoted. being war
rant officer, hut that - is not assimi-
lated in rank to any officer OF the army.
and cannot, therefore, claim fun army
pay as a line officer could under similar
circumstances, he should receive the full
sea pay OF his grade while serving on
shore beyond seas. because a line Off
Ger paid according 10 army rates would
receive full sea pay.
1T is true that warrant officers have
been held to be officers of the navy with
in the meaning of certain laws, but even
admitting that Mr.. Pender. as such off,
GER is included within the language of
the laws just quoted. he is not entitled to
the increased pay claimed, for the reason
that the law makes other provision for
officers of his class.
Section Y of the Navy Personnel act
contains the following: That the pay of
boatswains, Sunners, carpenters, ana
sailrakers shall be the same as that now
allowed by law This is a more SPECIFIC
provision than that contained in section
13 of the act relating to the pay of OIL
GERS of the navy in general 1t foilows
that a carpenter in the navy does not
come within the scope of the provision OF
section B. governing the pay of officers
of the navy generally serving under con-
ditions similar TO those under which Mr..
Pender is serving.
Il have. therefore. the honor to advise
YOU that he is entitled only TO the shore
duty pay of his grade, as provided IN sec

WILL CALL ON THE PRESIDENT.
Norman l.. Orme, n Former Rough
Rider, in the city.

Norman L. Orme. formerly of the Rough
Riders. arrived in Washington yesterday
and will today call upon the President, his
old commander. To Orme. who, since the
close of the war. has lived in Honolulu.
President Roosevelt is merely the
colonel" He shares the admiration of
nearly everyone in the famous regiment
for Colonel Roosevelt. and is firm in the
belief that the Administration will be a
glorious one.
Orme has never entirely recovered from
the effects of a wound which he received
at the battle of Guasimas. and which,
while he was in the Long Island College
Hospital attracted the attention of the
entire medical world. Orme was in the
act of firing when Mauser ball struck
MIN and inflicted six separate wounds II
passed through his forearm. then through
his upper arm and then through his body,
nstrating one lung.
Orme was orderly to Major Brody at
the time he was shot. He formerly lived
in Arizona and joined the Rough Riders
when they We're mustered in under com
rnand of Col Leonard Wood, who was
later succeeded in the comma-d by
Colonel Roosevelt
