Western Nd. Downs Delaware College

1t was predicted that Delaware Col
lege would have a walk-away with the
Western Maryland team yesterday,
and at the end of the first half, with
the score a to in favor of the Wis
itors, it looked as though this pre-
diction would be verified. But the
second half told an entirely different
story. Our boys wiped up the ground
with the Delaware chaps, and the lat
ter never got within sight of the goal.
This is the first game Delaware Col
lege has lost this season, and Western
Maryland is naturally elated over it's
victory The score was Is to 4.
The McCullohs, of Baltimore, de-
feated the Western Maryland second
team to 0. One thousand persons
witnessed the two games.

ANOTHER VIEW OF SUGAR PROBLEM

Considered either as one of the most
important of Americas Industrial and
agricultural interests, or as a necessity
of modern existence, the question of
the duty on sugar which has been
raised in the tariff hearings at Wash
ington and in the propaganda institu
ed by some of the Independent refin
ers against the American Sugar Rein
ing Company and its allies, is one of
vital interest to the whole American
people. 1t is also one of the most in
tricate, for not only are the interests
affected by the duties on raw and re-
fined sugars directly antagonistic to
one another but the international OBJ
legations of the country are closely
involved. To such an extent are these
complications developed that the whole
question is inextricably involved in
politics, the expression 1.-The Senators
from Havemeyer" being a sinister
souvenir of the struggles over the
making of the Wilson tariff act in
1898.
What sugar means TO the American
home is sufficiently indicated by the
fact that the per capita consumption
at the present time is no less than TIA
pounds, the aggregate consumption
last year having been something like
six billion pounds The country pro-
duces less than half of this enormous
aggregate-about AZ per cent, to be
exact-the domestic supply being
made up of the product of upward
of 265,OO0 tons of cane sugar grown
in the southern United States; $4,000
tons of beet sugar, grown chiefly in
Colorado, Michigan and other Western
States; 41S,00O tons brought in from
Hawaii and $4,000 tons from Porto
Rico. Cuba supplies an amount about
equal to the present domestic product,
and the remaining Is per cent. comes
! from the rest of the world. Inciden-
tally, Cuba enjoys a tariff differential
! 20 per cent. lower than the Dingley
rate, and the total customs revenue
from sugar last year amounted to
about $60,O00,000.
Sugar considered merely as a source
of revenue is an important factor in
the national finance. If the tariffs on
raw and refined shall be reduced the
problem of finding other sources of
income will have to be met, but this
is only the beginning of the trouble.
The domestic cane sugar interests are
forever on the alert lest the Dresene
protection which they enjoy should be
relaxed in favor of the Cuban grower,
more favorably situated as to climate
and able to produce cane sugar at a
lower cost than the louisiana planter,
They already have to meet the COM

petition of the Porto Rico growers, but
economic conditions and the cost of
transit practically equalize matters in
this respect Then strenuous efforts
have been made to develop the beet
sugar industry in the West. 1t has
grown enormously in the last few
years, has proved to be a keen COM
petitor for the Hawaiian cane sugar,
but has not Increased at anything like
the same proportion as the consump-
ton. Cuba has a very special claim
on the consideration of the United
States, and the menace of revolution
and consequent compulsory annexa-
ton, with free entry of Cuban sugar
into the United States, is the dread of
the American growers, as well as the
chief argument of those who insist up
on the maintenance of the present diff
ferential.
All these interests are directly an
tagonistic, but a new complication is
introduced by the supposed close alli-
ance between the Sugar Trust and the
beet sugar factories. The consumer
has long had a shrewd suspicion that
whatever may be the legitimate claims
of the cane and beet sugar growers,
the American Sugar Refining Company
is the chief beneficiary of the existing
tariff duties on both raw and refined.
This suspicion is now Strengthened by
the independent refiners, who are
favoring a reduction of the duty Of
1885 cents per pound on raw sugar on
the ground that recent price develop
ments show that the trust and not the
growers are getting the benefit of the
protective margin.
Although the revenue aspect Of the
question is vitality important one, 1t
should be remembered that a reduction
in the duty would not only bring the
wholesale price into something like
reasonable relation to the cost Of pro-
duction, but would leave margin of
profit for the retailer, and immensely
stimulate the various manufactures
into which sugar enters. Perhaps the
consumer would not get much of the
benefit, but he would be indirectly a
gamer through the stimulation of gen
eral industry and the opening of the
way to something like competition in
a product so essential to his daily
life.-Philadelphi Ledger
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1908-12-11

That portion of the message dealing
with the Secret Service, in part, was:
Last year an amendment was incor-
porated in the measure providing for
the Secret Service, which provided
that there should be no detail from
the Secret Service and no transfer
therefrom. 1t is not too much to say
that this amendment has been of bene-
fit only and could be of benefit only,
to the criminal classes. If deliberately
introduced for the purpose of dimin-
ishing the effectiveness of war against
crime, it could not have been better
devised to this end. In its
present form the restriction operates
only to the advantage of the criminal,
of the wrongdoer. The chief argu-
ment in favor of the provision was
that the Congressman did not them
selves wish to be investigated by Sc
cret Service men. Very little of such
investigation has been partly respon-
sible for the indictment and convic-
ton of a Senator and a Congressman
for land frauds in Oregon. 1 do not
believe that it is in the public interest
to protect criminals in any branch of
the public service, and exactly as we
have again and again during the past
seven years prosecuted and convicted
such criminals who were in the exc
.cutive branch of the government, so,
in my belief, we should be given ample
means to prosecute them if found in
the legislative branch. But if this is
not considered desirable a special ex-
ception could be made in the law pro-
hibiting the use of the Secret Service
force in investigating members of the
Congress. 1t would be far better to do
this than to do what actually was done,
and strive to prevent, or at least to
hamper, effective action against GRIM
inals by the executive branch of the
government"

Japanese Buying All Salt Petrs and
Yucca In Chile for Manufac-
ture Of Powder.

San Francisco. Jan. 2.--Passengers
and officers who arrived by the Kos
mos liner Neko Wednesday brought
news Of great Japanese activity at
the port of Iquique, in Chile. They
say that the Japanese government Is
buying up all the salt petre available
in Chile, and also that great stocks
Of yucca" which grows in great pro
fusion in the Sahara district, near
IQuique, are being sent by every
steamer to Japan. A line Of fast
steamers, Of about 5000 tons register,
have been put on between Japan and
Iqulque, and, according to reports
heard at ports along the coast, these
steamers are taking full cargoes Of
salt peter and yucca on every trip.
Yucca is stunted form of palm

sive, which was used with deadly ef.
feet in the recent war with Russia.
