Public Against Subsidies.

Our contention all along has been
that it is extremely dangerous to enter
upon so important Il policy as that of
the payment of large cash subsidies to
particular industry unless there is some
clear and evident demand, originating
outside Of congress. and intelligeLtly
supported by large numbers of disinter-
ested people living in different parts of
the country. The present situation
bears no resemblance to that of fifteen
years ago. Our American shipyards
were then comparatively undeVeiOpcd,
and American capital was absorbed in
railway building and various internal
that would be at all permissible under
the totally different circumstances OF
the present day would be in the nature
of limited grants for the promotion OF
new lines of steamers to ply between
specified ports. carrying passengers and
freight as well AS the mails and help
ing to develop American intercourse
with regions where there is reason to
think that the growth of trade would
soon amply support such steamship
lines without government aid. Senator
Eye espoused the cause of steamship
subsidies in period since which Ameri-
can industry and commercial conditions
have been completely transformed. His
continued support of the subsidy policy
is entirely patriotic and sincere. but 1t
simply represents his traditional point
of view. from which the country has
wholly grown away. Senator lianna's
energetic advocacy of the subject is also
doubtless sincere and patriotic, but the
fact remains that great American cor
porations and syndicates can build all
the ships they care TO build without
government subsidy. and can compete
with the shipvards of any other country.

Defeat Of the sugar Trust.


1t was Il sorry day for the Republican
house leaders when they made common
cause with the sugar trust in IN effort
to take So 600 GOO out Of the pockets Of
theiwestern farmers for the sole benefit
OF the trust. ~
The hypocrisy of the situation was
very promptly and very thoroughly ex-
posed. and the PhaI isaical arguments
that the theft was "a reciprocity meas
ure," and that it would relieve the
poverty stricken people of Cuba were
punctured so full OF holes that those
who brought such arguments into
existence refused at the last to recog-
nize their own offspring.
The chief value of the vote in the
house on Friday is what it demonstrates
to tile country that the sugar trust is
losing its grip on the congress of the
United States.
1t has been many years since that
trust has received rebuff in congress.
1t maintains at Washington the most
powerful and the most unscrupulous
lobby Of any of the large interests. Its
agents are quite as numerous inside the
halls of congress as outside.
When the Mckinley tariff bill was at
the full height of its operations, and
when public sentiment was running
strongly in favor Of nigh protection, this
trust was powerful enough to force
through congress measure making the
duties upon raw sugar from Cuba al
most nominal.
The sugar trust owns vast plantations
can be obtained there they could make
1t impossible for American sugar plant
ers to compete with them if they could
get suitable rate on their importations
of raw sugar.
But the sugar, trust does not care to
compete with the susar retineries of
Europe. and when it comes to choosing
between the present tariff on Cuban
raw sugar and the removal of the differ
ential tariff OH refined sugar, the trust
will undoubtedly choose to let the
present tariff on raw sugar stand.

of the house Republican leaders to break

There has never been much chance of
this bill passing the senate under the
most favorable circumstances. and now
that it has become almost free trade

is certain Of defeat.

Because believe that the great In
crease IN consumption and cancer during
the last hundred years has been caused by
the great increase in the use of animal
food, and that q strict vegetarian diet
would greatly help to ward OFF these most
terrible and incurable diseases.
Because Of the awful cruelty and ter
ror to which tens Of thousands OF animals
killed for human food are subjected in
travelling long distances by ship and rail
and road to the slaughter houses Of the
world.
Because of the terrible eruelties prac-
tised in killing animals In many slaugh-
ter houses. The whole business Of killing
is cruel, even when it is done with care,
and we know that in the case of millions
of creatures 1t is done with very little
care Ten thousand pigs are killed for
food every hour in Europe alone!
Because the occupation Of Strengthening
animals is brutalizipg to those who are
required to do the work. The highest
sentiments of humane men, says GER
tain writer, and I agree with him, revolt
at the cruelty, the degrading sights, the
distressing cries.. the perpetual bloodshed,
and all the attendant horrors which must
surround the transit and slaughter of SUR
fering creatures -
because flesh diet is not necessary to
hard work, A great part of the work Of

by those animals which subsist entirely
on vegetable foods, namely horses, mules

material. One example, in pink, made
up IN folds alternating with coffee -colored

which is rather long and knotted in two
places. Some very pretty plain scarfs
OF the same material are simply trimmed
at the ends with groups of hemstitched
tucks.
Lace is being used extensively in some
cases, with no foundation but wire
frame, SO that the mesh is effectively
brought out against the neck itself. Then,
too, II is combined with anything and
everything. Two strips of ecru lace ema
mating from knot Of narrow black vel

law regarding long ties or short bows,

determine, though for the woman with a
short neck and double chin a fluffy ro-
settle that nearly conceals the lower part
of the face is upbecoming, to say the
least. But for long, slender neck, that
style is most suitable.
Notwithstanding the extent of modern

above all things, to be consistent.

of this myself. Most of the instances OF
great age are to be found among these
who from their youth have lived princi-
pally, II not entirely, on vegetables and
fruit. All this is worth thinking about.
Because a great deal Of the flesh meat
which is supplied or human food is al
ready diseased, and because it is nearly
impossible to be sure that any flesh is
quite free from the germs of disease.
Much common meat; which is often that of
old animals, is we'll known to be sold to
the butchers because the animals are sick
or unhealthy. And the best meat is near
ly always the flesh of young animals which
are fattened and killed before the germs
of many diseases have had time to de-
velop so as to show themselves. So that
many animals are killed which, though be-
lieyed to be healthy, are really diseased.
