Mr.. Tawney also fell back on the sugar
trust DOGGY That same sugar trust is
now in fair way to control the American
beet sugar business. The answer given to
that fact is that, trust or no trust, it will
be an American industry. But how about
the sugar refineries? Are they not Ameri-
can industries? Do they not employ
thousands of workmen? And, finally,
reciprocity with Cuba is not death blow
to the beet sugar industry. Two-thirds of
our sugar must come from abroad. Until
Cuba can furnish that two-thirds the gen
eral price will be determined by the tariff
against the sugars Of other countries.
That is to say there will be no reduction
in the price of sugar in the United States
on account Of Cuban competition. And if
there is no such reduction how do the beet
sugar producers suffer? @,-,.s .--,-.--. -,.

The Fall of .Veblen, S. ID.


Veblen, S: D.. has in the past won we'll
deserved reputation for the. observance of an
American Sabbath. The town was formerly
quiet and orderly and the people rested from
their labors and looked over. the crops. But
of late a cry has arisen against a too severe
observance Off, the first day Of the week and
some of the younger element have broken the
bonds of parental restraint and INDUCED in
lawless sports such as baseball and, similar
frivolous games. On recent Sunday in Neb-
len, according to the Veblen Advance, the
minister was preaching earnestly on the
subject of Heaven and How to Get There. -
Two ball teams were playing out on the race
track at the time and an occasional shout
foated through the window The preache:
had come to close, and paused with the
expressive exclamation: "And how shall we
get there?" 'sllde! slide! slide like thun-
derG came. floating through the window,
destroying: the solemnty Of the choir and
dragging reluctant smile. even from the in
dlgnant deacon. = - =. &t.'.s
travelling man who spent Sunday in the town.
The paper says. and says even gleefully:
Sunday he saw a ball game, "A horse race,
sparring match, two fights, the Gun Club
practice, attended a meeting of the '.Glee
Club, went: to Sunday school and church,
heard the gramophone and Mallinger's Jack.
and finally went to bed with his shoes on.
This may be considered a good record by
the fVeblen Advance, but we and. all: other
self-respecting people blush for Veblen.

Too Much GROK ERIsM

Lewis Nixon stepped. down and out Of
the headship of Tammany Hall yesterday
on the ground that. he could not retain
Tammany leader. It was Croker him
self who heartily commended Nixon to-
Tammany few months ago, when be
sorrowfully ard tearfully bade Fadieu to
the Tamnany sachems and steamed away
over the stormy Atlantic to his English
estates Croker, on that distressing
occasion talked as If Nixon was his be-
loved scn and gave him such a send-cff
as had never before been conferred upon
a younger member of the order.
Nixon declared, on taking the onerous
position that he did not intend to be
''bossed'' by, anybody, and denied that
Croker had any hold upon. him. He has
certainly shown an independence of a re-
markable kind. Croker himself recently
kicked against his freedom Of action, and
the old sachems began to think they had
made a big mistake and instead OF put
ting a mere tool in the chair OF the
finance committee Croker had seated a

Nixon is repnted to be an honest, incor-

it has passed through several stages Of

explained that he couls not understand. A
