Benefits and Conveniences Of Early Hol-
lday Shopping" might well be made the
title Of a book, II anyone had time to write
it, for every one Of Omaha's retailers has
gained numerous ideas Of the subject from
the sad experiences connected with delayed
shopping. II is proposed. but not as yet

the holiday stocks on display December g.

VIII Increase business.
/ Il think il would be a good thing to force
business from the 1st OF the month to the
18th. when business is usually a little dull
said Advertising Manager Vance Of HaydeI
Bros Il believe It would bring more busi-
ness to the retailers than they otherwise
would have, and ! know it would be a great
convenience for those who could be induced
to buy early. l do not think, however, thai
the congestion for the last few days before
Christmas can be relieved. il may be KEEP
from getting worse than Il has been il
former years by pushing business from this
first of the month. You see trade is goinG
TO be heavier than ever this fall"

come q devotee of the sports of the
West. There are few better riders
than Miss Sharp. and none who find
more real enjoyment In the chase. She
was a star attraction of the chase and
took as many wolves with her lariat
as any man. John Abernethy, young
cowboy, who was with the President
during his hunt in April, was com
mander Of the hunt. Nearly all the
Indians OF the Comanche and Kiowa
tribes were at the scene. Quanah
Parker, the Comanche chief, took a
prominent part in the chase. A few
Apaches were on hand, among them
Geronimo, who attends the chase every
year. Several officers of the Thirteenth
Cavalry, stationed at Fort Sill, also
took part in the sports.

Touching Philippine Sugar.

The committee on ways and means
reported favorably Mr.. Chairman
Payne's bill to reduce the tariff on Phil
fppine sugar and tobacco to from 20
per cent of the Dingley rates, at which
it now stands, to % per cent Of the
same until 1909, when they come in
free; all other products of the Philip
pines to come In free as soon as the
Payne bill is enacted into law; the
same rates to apply to American prod
ucts shipped into the Philippines. Sud-
denly the cane and beet sugar inter-
ests. together with the American grow
ers of fine wrapper leaf tobacco, have
awakened to the fact that they are
placed in peril by this bill that is, that
if it becomes law they will not receive
as much federal pap as formerly, and
they are extremely fond of pap. In
fact, they have contracted the pap
habit, just as other persons contract
the morphine or cocaine habit. They
say, POGO is very good, and have not
had enough"
The first question that sensible man
viii ask himself in this connection is
this: How does it happen that these
persons who live and move and have
their business being only by reason of
an abnormally high protective tariff
never walked up before?" Truth to tell,
they are now performing the condemn
ed caper Of locking the barn after the
horse is gone. The time for them to
have made themselves heard effective

were annexing Hawaii, for the sugar
output Of Hawaii is about four times

We imported about 100000 tons Of
Philippine sugar last year and about
100000 tons of Hawaiian sugar. Ev-
cry pound Of the Hawaiian sugar came
In free OF duty, and every pound Of
Philippine sugar paid 10 per cent Of
the Dingley rates. Since 1875 we have
imported 4,333 654 tons Of Hawaiian
sugar absolutely duty free. AS there
is q duty of $35 ton on raw sugar
generally, we have made the Hawaiian
