Secretary Knox an Early Riser.
A popularity Of the secretary Of
state is his ability to 60 to sleep at
any time he pleases and to wake at
any minute that he desires. Few men
have this faculty. Napoleon Bona
parte and General B. F. Butler were
able to sleep and waken at will, and
Secretary Knox can throw himself
down on lounge and sleep for half
an hour or any time he likes. If he
wants to catch an early train he can
waken himself ut 6 o'clock or at i
o'clock in the morning or at any other
time he desires. but 1t would be i'm
possible for him to explain how he
does 1t.
He Is an early riser by habit. He is
usually up at 6 o'clock in the morning
and takes two hours drive before
breakfast behind the most famous
team in Washington. This Is his ex-
ercise and Iecreation. He returns to
his house for an o'clock breakfast
with his family. and then the work for

Taft for Quiet Fourth.

Springfield Republican: There was a
marked contrast between Monday and
other FOurths at Washington, D. G.
Not frecracker was heard and no
fireworks of any kind, except those
handled by citizens in charge of the
public celebration. Not single ac-
cident or fire resulting from the Fourth
celebration was reported, and the
police made fewer arrests than usual.
The following letter was received Mon
day by District commissioner McFar-
land from President Taft, expressing
his hearty accord in the safe and
sane Fourth idea:-
Il have your letter of July 1 with
respect to the celebration of the Fourth
of July. l am very sorry that [ shall
not be in the city on that day because
of previous engagement; but l am
heartily in sympathy with the move
ment to rid the celebration of our
country's natal day of these distressing
accidents that might be avoided and
are merely due to the recklessness
against which the public protest cannot
be too emphatic.
Very sincerely yours,
WILLIAM II. TAFT.

The Sugar Taxes.

AS for the sugar tax, the public ought
to understand clearly that the Govern
ment would obtain an even larger in
come, and the consumer would pay less
than now for his sugar, if the rates of
duty on refined sugar were reduced,
while those on crude sugar remained as
they are. The high rates on refined
sugar are for the benefit of the American
Sugar Refining Company known as
the Sugar Trust, which proposes to
keep the tariff laws in such shape as to
make it impossible to import sugar fit for
use, and which thus virtually controls
the import Of the raw or crude material
and also the markets and prices for the
refined article. This state of things is
made the more easily possible because
the relatively small sugar production of
Louisiana demands protection and the
beet sugar growers of the West are as
yet stronger in their influence at
Washington than they are in supplying
the demand for sugar. Louisiana will
not ultimately be a sugar producing
district, and the interests of the beet
producers do not require the kind of
ditferential between raw and refined
sugar that suits the purposes of the
Trust. If Congress would address itself
much more directly to the revenue
producing aspects of the tariff the out
come would be more satisfactory than
it is likely to be. Where the tariff
clearly fosters monopoly, as in the case
of the Sugar Trust, the paper combina-
tons, and various other instances, there
arise special reasons for reducing or
even abolishing particular rates. But
otherwise, as long as we have custom
houses at all, the obviOus thing is to
make imports pay some tribute to the
the Treasury, however small; and the
growth of the free list in the face of
Treasury deficits can hardly be justified
from the standpoint of thrifty finance

taking this extreme step she had
