powle,a Father Talks.

John Murray Dowie. crushed by the
attack made upon him by his son,
John Alexander Dowie, says: 1.-THE
statement that / am not the father of
John Alexander Dowie is the greatest
myth ever uttered by the mouth of
man. 1t Is scandalous that my son
should repudiate me after 1 have done
so much for him. He is my son and
was horn in lawful wedlock. No one
can deny 1t. The records may be had
at the great register offices, Princess
street. Edinburgh, Scotland. l have
always lived quiet, peaceable Chris
tton life, and it breaks my heart to
have this trouble come toward the
end" Judge Dowie, who is respected
by the whole community, lives at Es-
sex in his little cottage. The re-
semblance between John Murray
Dowie and John Alexander Dowie is
SO close that the father has often been
taken for the son. The old man is
growing feeble, and the recent trouble
has aged him greatly.

Court Rever.es ltself.

The supreme court OF Iowa did the
unusual and reversed itself last week
on an important point. Last spring in
a case in which one ]. E. Brady had
been convicted of burglary largely on
the fact that he had the stolen prop
erty In his possession the court rem
dered decision which would have the
effect Of making such evidence of very
little value against an accused per-
son. The court held that possession
of stolen property might be presump-
tive evidence of theft but not of
burglary or of breaking and entering
building. The lawyers of the state
were up In arms against such a ruling,
and asked the attorney general to APP
peal to the court for a change in the
rulings. This the court has done and
has announced the correct rule as to
the value Of evidence in such cases.
Attorney General Mullen states that if
the decision had stood a large num-
Der of cases of this class would have
been virtually dropped out of the
courts, and there would have been a
demand for additional legislation on
the subject.

When President Roosevelt discovered
Leslie M. Shaw and announced his pur-
pose to appoint him secretary OF the
treasury he glesfully proclaimed that he
had found another Abraham Lincoln.
Now, Mr.. Shaw has many of the accom-

circulation with plain direction, and
would strike at the root Of the difflculty

OF appealing to the pawnbrokers. II he
found there was to much revenue locked

TRUSTS IN SUGAR.
They All Join Hands to Rob the
Farmer and the Com
sumner.

The sugar trust, officially known as
the American Sugar Refining company.
has bought the controlling interest in
the Oxnard beet sugar combine. so that
In future there will be no more COM
petition between these two highway
men ~ to who shall hold up the con-
sumner, and we may expect the price of
refined sugar to gradually, if not rap
Idly, rise. On the other hand, it is
probable that the price paid to the
farmers for beets will be reduced, for
the sugar trust will have no incentive
to increase the output of beet sugar and
will probably decide to decrease 1t, the
profit on refining cane sugar being
greater than on manufacturing beet
sugar, in consequence of the discrim-
mating duty of nearly one cent a pound
on refined sugar, to which must be add
ed the counteryailing duty, which is
imposed to Offset the export bounty
paid by foreign nations, making the
actual duty on refined sugar about 2.25
cents 8 pound. If the reciprocity treaty
with Cuba Is ratified this winter the
sugar trust Will have further advan-
tage Of Is per cent. reduction on all
sugar imported from Cuba, and as sugar
can be grown much cheaper there than
It can be manufactured from beets the
outlook for the farmers wi.o grow beets
Il &c. 1;aeealring 1t is stated that the
sugar trust magnates have invested in
q large acreage of the finest Cuban
sugar lands. and when the reciprocity
treaty is an accomplished fact these
lands Will be utilized to produce
sugar.
The only hope for the farmers who
grow beets and also for the general pub
lic-the consumers of sugars that
the discriminating and countervailing
duty shall be abolished and the sugar
trust would then have to reduce the
price OF refined sugar to prevent the
competition of the foreign article AS
beet sugar is refined when it is manu-
featured from the beets, without going
through separate refining operation,
as the cane sugar does, it is probable
that the trust would find 1t more profit
able to manufacture beet sugar than to
buy and refine the cane raw sugar when
the preferential duty is abolished.
The democratic position is that rea-
sonable duty on sugar is necessary to
raise revenue. but the preferential duty
which allows the trust to increase the
price to the public and pocket the differ
ence, Is robbery.
