Too Much Sugar.

Sugar is an article of universal
consumption and a convenient sub
ject of a revenue duty. But the tax
equivalent to 80 per cent, one of
the highest rates in the law, was es-
tablished with quite as much re-
gard to the interests of the sugar
trust as to that of the United States
treasury. There is "a committee of
wholesale grocers formed to urge
a reduction of the duties on sugar"
and this committee is disseminating
the information that the American
Sugar Refining company has been
selling considerable quantities of
sugar for export at nearly two cents
under the domestic price. Claus A.
Spreckles, who is outside of the
sugar trust, told the ways and
means committee last November
that sugar refining needed no pro-
lection, and he favored the free adj
mission of both raw and refined.
But the United States treasury
would miss the revenue. The rates
however. ought to be for revenue
and not for the protection of an in
dustry that has no need of it

Why Not.

This paper gives any and all
readable news it can secure and as
accurately as it can get it.
We never have made it a prac-
tice to even" up with one we may
dislike for any reason, because we
do not think it right or just to use
a cruel weapon against one who
has not the same weapon to strike
back with, and for that reason and
the reason that the paper always
does contain something OF a local
nature that will interest you and
often be Of profit to you. we ask
this question: Are you subscrib-
er to the Monroe City Democrat,
and if not, why not?

A Foolish Law.

Henry County Democrat:-We
may have some foolish laws and
some foolish law enforcers in Mis-
souri,, but we are no worse off than
other States. In Astoria, Ills,
James Richie, an aged laborine
man went out and shot a couple OF
rabbits for his own table. Some
sneak who knew Richie didn't
have a hunters license reported it
to a game warden, who had him ar
rested. The victim of this sort OF
fool law enforcement had to Dor
row exactly $31.45 to keep from 60
ing to Jail.

In Darkest Texas.

Texas civilization has been again
proclaimed by means of a bonfire
with a living, writhinG Negro in the

that this satanic lawlessness really
represents Texas civilization of the
present day; but the fact is there,
and such condemnation as exists in
the Texan mind finds no emphatic
voice. The Public.

Minister Prays for Drought.

Bokhoma. Ok. March 14.-Like
Moses of old calling down judg-
ments of the Lord on the land of
Pharaoh, the Reverend Charles
Ford. a holiness preacher, called
down the plague on Bokhoma in
the form of a drought, and in an
swer to his public prayer scarcely a
drop of rain has fallen here for six
months, until yesterday. when the
minister prayed for the drought to
end.
The remarkable prayer was
made after a disagreement with
the Frisco Lumber Company over
wages. During the drought, bust
ness was paralyzed. and hundreds
of men moved their families, that
were in actual want, to other parts
of the State.

lGENEALOGY1

All communications for this depart
ment should be addressed to the secre-
tary of the Genealogical society. Elder
Joseph F. Smith. Jr.. care of historians )
office, Salt Lake City. Utah.
BENEFITS OF GENEALOGICAL So
CIETY.
We frequently hear questions and re-
marks as TO the value and advantage to
be derived from a membership in the
Genealogical society by those indi-
vidualS who do not live In this city. or
who living here have no trace of their
own family lines, and know not how
to get out genealogies. For this reason
we desire to present some information
and suggestions designed to assist such
inquiries.
The advantages are threefold:
l. An individual may use the library
to prepare his own genealogy.
g He may secure the assistance OF
the trained agents of the society in this
city as well as in Europe. TO get out
in perfect shape his various family
genealogieS.
g. He is thus complying with the
spiritual requirement OF the gospel, as
well as assisting to build up the IN
terests of temple work at large.
1t Is sometimes asked If this Is a
money ey-making society. Bless You soul,
no one has ever made any money SO
far not the secretary nor the librarian,
although the bright young assistant IL
brarian is paid a small salary by .he
Church in return for her constant at
tendance and assistance to all who come
to the rooms. But every cent of money
taken In is used for the purchase of
new books; and while we have now
about 1900 books. there are still 100000
already printed which we are In dire
need of. So much for that.
Now. as to the individual securing
his own genealogy. 1t is true that
very few exceedingly few. people in
the Church or out of 1t, for that mat
ter are sufficiently acquainted with
Sencalogy to use the books we already
have. yet II any person Will come TO
the library for one month, an hour
a day being sufficient time for this pur-
pose, he can be taught by doing the
thing how to do 1t. The assistant IL
brarian stands ready to assist all such.
Many are thus coming; where there
was only one woman three years ago
who asked for seat at the crowded
table then used In the rooms, there are
now from six to 16 persons who visit
the rooms pretty regularly. and there
Is an obligIng and capable young lady
ready TO give assistance as needed
Thus the good work has extended quite
rapidly considering all things II the
person seeking information comes in
without knowing anything about his
family line except his parents names.
he is encouraged to try and recall all
the names ond approximate dates POS
sible OF his near relatives. This he Is
told to put down in a book. SkIiful
questions often surprise the person thus
making a first effort, for 1t Is too often
found that people know a great deal
more than they know how to tell. Then
such q seeker is told to get the guide
or the index and go To- work. The pa
tIent librarian and his assistant expect
to ans Yer 500 useful and useless ques-
tions from this first visitor to thcir
rooms. and they also expect that in
time this visitor will leam all the ropes
