FEAR SUGAR OF
Tue PHILIPPINES

DENVER (Colo), October 19-"we
will not spend another dollar in Colo
rado until We discover what effect the.
importation of Philippine sugar, If it
is imported. will have on the situa-
ton"
That is the positive statement of
III. o. Havemeyer, president of the.
sugar trust, who. with Colorado sugar
makers, left this morning on a tour of
inspection of the sugar plants of the
State.
I'VE have discovered through the re-
port of Aaron Cove that sugar can
be raised in the Philippines and laid
down in the port of New York at L
cent pound. We can't compete with
that sort of thing" said c. s. Morey
Of the Great Western Sugar Company
Here are some of the facts that
Havemeyer asks the citizens of the
State to ponder over: 1.-THE average
wage for the common laborer on
American sugar-beet farms is $1.50 to
$3.50 day. The average wage on the
Philippine sugar plantations is 80 cents
a week, Mexican money. and a supply
of rice. Or cents, United States cur
rency, day and rice"

AUTHORITY
is LACKING

IL seems something more IL needed
than the bare right, to enable a lawsuit
TO be carried from Hawaii to Washing
ton. By a decision OF the Supreme
Court, written by Justice Hartwell,
with whom sat Justice Wilder and Cir
cult Judge De Bolt, an entry of judg-
ment for the purpose of an appeal to
the United States Supreme Court,
moved for by defendant, is refused in
the eJectment case of Moses Meheula
VS.. Pioneer Mill Co., Ltd, in which
the appellate court affirmed Judgment
of the Second Circuit court for plain
tiff. c. w. Ashford for plaintiff; Kin
ney, McClanahan & Cooper for defend
ant. The syllabus of opinion is as fol-
lows:
The defendants exceptions at the
trial of an action of ejectment in the
circuit court having been overruled. the
defendants motion that this court
make a final judgment or order affirm
ing the judgment in the circuit court
is denied. there being no statutory au-
thority therefor. The defendants de-
sire to appeal to the United States Su-
preme Court from final judgments of
this court does not authorize this court
to assume the power"
In the body of the opinion the court
says: I'VE are of the opinion that this
court can take no other action on over
ruling exceptions than to authorize the
issue of a remittitur.'
IGNORANT GUARDIANS.
A. Perry, in opposing the continuance
of the matter of Jacintho Comes, said
that the calling of a cerain witness then
absent would be waste of time, add
Ing that it was known the guardian
kept no books and was an ignorant
person. Judge De Bolt remarked that
such persons should not be appointed
guardians, and Mr.. Perry said he hoped
the court would never appoint another
such. Mr.. Correa, for the minors, in
sisted on continuance, which was;
granted.
