THE SUGAR TARIFF
Threatened Reduction ATouSes
the Trust.
CANNON'SSICNIFICAyTSTAND
Consequence Of Duty on Foreign
Art Productions.

Washington, D. c., Nov. Ill
The tariff muddle has not been
cleared during the past week.
There have been daily hearings
and some noted witnesses have
been examined. The sugar sched-
ules have been under consideration
and the witnesses make it plain
that because little sugar is made
in Louisiana from the cane and
from some Northwestern states
beet sugar is sent to the market,
the cheaper sugars from Cuba, the
Philippines and Europe must pay
heavy duty and every man,
woman and child of the eighty
millions or more in the United
States must pay fully one third
more for this table necessity than
they would pay if it were not
necessary to pay the bonus on the
small quantity of sugar raised in
this country and to the sugar re-
fining trust Spreckles of Cali
fornia, millionaire by grace Of
sugar, gave candid straightforward
testimony substantially to this
effect. Atkins of Boston, largely
interested in Cuban sugar importa-
ton evoked the bugaboo of Cuban
annexation as an alternative to the
present high tariff on Cuban sugar.
Speaker Cannon has recently said
that in about ninety days after
March the fourth there will be a
new tariff bill enacted but he ad-
ded, in substance, that scarcely
anybody would know it, which is
interpreted to mean that the bill
will be mild and innocuous as far
as its effect on the tariff monopo-
lists is concerned.
Apropos of the tariff discussion,
there is still high tariff on art
Futile attempts in times past have
been made by various senator:
| and members of the lower house
to have art works placed upon tn.
free list. Everybody in the Unitee
States is in favor of free trade il
art. Nevertheless, SO great is th'
opposition to free trade and 81
timid are the standpatters witt
reference to any opening of tn
subject that it has been impossibl
to get such bill before the Hous
for consideration. All artists ar

CHICAGO, February pa. j. Ban
ia, chairman of the runs and tours
committee of the Chicago Automobile
Club, this morning got in touch over
the telephone with Montague Roberts,
driver Of the Thomas car which is one
Of the leaders in the New York-Paris
automobile race. Roberts was at Ken
dallville, Ind, along with the De Lion,
the French car and they intended to
lay up for a few hours before proceed
ing to Goshen, which they hope to
make today Roberts reports a most
strenuous nights journey, the three
cars having left Corunna, Ind, seven
miles from Kendallville. Farmers
helped to shovel the way for them
practically the entire distance. 1t took
them thirteen hours to go those seven
miles. The racers reached Kendall
Vile at $3.50 o'clock Jnis morning.
Snow fairly enyeloped the three cars
from the start at Corunna. The cano-
pies were heavily burdened with
fleece and nearly all the exterior brass
work, including the lamps, was cover
ed The glass shields soon became
Opaque under the driving snow and
steering difficulties were thus added to
the weight of troubles of the globe
motorists"
The wheels of each machine resem-
bled circular cakes of snow in a short
time, and snow and ice, in contrast to
the usual mud, clogged the mechanism
in eXasperating fashion,
Several times the direction was lost,
as the topography of the country was
completely hidden. Collisions against
fences buried under the snow several
times were narrowly ayerted.
They find the roads ahead of them TO
be almost impossible because Of the
drifts, and Roberts even had the wild
idea of trying to drive to Chicago over
the ice on Lake Michigan. Accompany
J ing the cars is a Thomas flyer, loaded
with workmen, which as been with
the party since leaving Cleveland, go
ing in advance and acting as a snow
breaker. This gives the party four
| ieen men to shovel snow and an idea
of the strenuous journey may be had
when last nights journey is remem-
Ibered.
Paul Picard of the Chicago Motor
IlCub goes to Michigan City tonight,
where his car is awaiting him and he
will accompany the racers into Chi
cago when they pass through here.
Chicago auto men hardly look for
the racers to get into the city before
Sunday night. To do that they mus
have a good run of luck, although
Kendallville is only 100 miles from
lChicagO.

Extract from a history of Hawaii, of
about the year 1925:
The Hawaiians were very active po-
liticians after annexation and soon got
all of the election offices by a system
of strategy that was in some respects
far sighted, but they didn't look quite
as far ahead as some whites. Soon
after the Territory was formed, va
rious Hawaiians began to scheme to
lead their countrymen into race Or
CARNATIONS for politics. Having a
majority of the vote, they felt that
Hawaiians should hold all the offices.
In getting them, they were greatly
assisted-unintention Homo
lulu's only morning paper. With its
aid a Hawaiian was placed in charge
of the police force of Oahu,-a great
step, for under him and his Hawaiian
deputy haoles were quickly weeded out
and soon the police force of the island
was all Hawaiian. After securing
this entering wedge the Hawaiians be-
gan to regard the sheriff's Office as one
to be always filled by a Hawaiian, and
they set their minds on getting other
offices. That of mayor was easily Sc
cured because of haole dissentions. At
the same time an effort was made to
get that of county attorney, so that
the entire administration might be in
Hawaiian hands. Seeing that the
morning paper didn't like the haole
candidate on the strongest ticket (the
Republican, and would support any
: kind of a candidate to beat him, Ha-
waiians shrewdly put forward a Ha-
waiian in opposition to him. The
scheme was a good one, but so fla
gravity dishonorable that it failed.
However, the failure was only tenn
porary. The Hawaiians knew that
they had fine asset in the Advertiser,
which constantly knocked its enemy
the haoles till it kept most of the res
pectable haole citizens out of politics.
With the field thus left to few haoles
ISLANDERS, and Hawaians who were
rather proud of Advertiser roasts, the
race line soon became complete, and
Hawaiians assumed to take complete
charge of the country.
Suddenly they saw that, as in '93,
they had been completely outgeneraled.
They thought they had been gradually
getting Office after Office for Hawaiians,
In fact they had been simply lured on
into doing it. Those who had helped
them the Advertiser by attacking
every haole, especially,-turned and
