The President believes that the at
tacks on him with regard to his foreign
policies are the acts of a deliberate and
premeditated campaign to befog the
situation and prevent the passage OF
railway-rate legislation. If turmoil
can be raised and maintained over
Santo Domingo, Panama, Venezuela
Morocco and China it may engross the
time and attention of Congress and the
public so as to entirely obscure the rail-
way question. With regard to the trea-
ties the President lacks four votes of re-
liable Senators to make the necessary
two-thirds required for ratification
and upon this much trouble may be
made to him. The President openly an
nounces his intention of doing
things" There are necessary things to
be done. and IL Congress will not dc
them he will proceed to the last limit
of his prerogatives in securing their
accomplishment. He prefers to go into
history as a Jackson rather than q
Buchanan, and recalls how Buchanan
in his last Message denounced seces-
sion as unconstitutional and in the next
paragraph made the astounding prop
Csition that any attempt to coercion
was equally if not more unconstitu-
tional. Whatever may be said in criti-
cism Of the President, he is determined
that there shall by no shilly-shallying
He will do the best and exert all his
power to accomplish what he thinks
ought to be done. and if Congress does
not back him up properly the RESPONSE.
bility will be upon Congress. This is
the White House view Of the situation
and differs materially. 1t is needless t6
say, from that Of many Senator's and
Representatives Of the Republican
Farty.

Our consumption of sugar Is going up
amazingly. For many years we stood
second only to England in the amount
Of sugar used by our people, our con-
sumption being between so and 60
pounds per head, while that Of Great
Britain was 62h pounds per head.
Last year we went far ahead Of Great
Britain, consuming about rs pounds per
head, which Is at least double the aver
age consumption Of the people on the
Continent of Europe. The value of the
sugar imported into. this country last
year will greatly exceed $4,000, 600
where the largest amount imported In
any previous year was 1927. 000,0 900. We
eat fully one-half of the cane sugar
produced in the world. We took from
Cuba last year the incomprchensible
amount of 2,057.690,S39 pounds, with
00,000.000 pounds from Java, nearly
as much from Hawaii and 271, 319,993
pounds from Porto Rico. Germany
furnished us 205 ,0S4.302 pounds Of beet
sugar, which is considerably less than
that obtained from Porto Rico The
Philippine sugar amounted to 1897, 424
pounds, while the domestic crop was
1,167,25O,560 pounds

The last message of Gov A. ].
Montague to the Virginia Legislature
Is very sensible, practical document
and contains recommendations of great
worth. The financial condition of the
State is better than it has been for
years, with a balance Of $666.4s2 in
ordinary appropriations which will
leave a net balance of $36,555. The in
come of the State exceeds the expendi-
lures by $579.465. but there is a neces-
sity of increasing the expendi-
and charitable institutions. The Gov
ernor devotes much attention to the
lures for public schools, good roads
question of primary elections, which he
claims are fundamental to good Gov
eminent and they should be guarded
and conducted with all the possible
safeguards for an honest determination
lation prohibitory of all campaign con-
tributions by corporations, and would
prohibit any corporation which makes
such contributions from doing business
in the State. He would also prohibit
the payment of poll taxes by any other
than the individual assessed, which
would do away with a fruitful source
of corruption. The present special ap-
preparation for schools is 100000 a
year, which the Governor would in
crease to 100000 and have a law
passed compelling attendance upon the
schools. During 1904 there was nearly
$1,0O0.000 expended upon the County
roads, yet there was no perceptible i'm
provement, and the Governor recon-
mends the State aid plan. That Is, the
State to give to any County or Dis
trict an amount equal to what 1t will
expend upon the improvement Of the
roads. He would use the conyicts in
actual road building, and thinks that
this would be highly beneficial, since it
