SUGAR FURNISHES SUBJECT
FOR DEBATE IN SENATE
Compromise Finally Ends Discussion
Of House Amendment to the
Schedule.
(Ry Associated Press.l


II WASHINGTON, d. C., June Il
Sugar was the stirring subject before
the Senate today. It was brought tc
the front in connection with the con
sideratiOn of finance committees sub
stitute for the House provision OF the
taIfff bill regulating the admission OF
| Philippines articles into the United
| States, and il continued to receive
| practically the undivided attention OF
the Senate throughout the day Dur
| ing the first hour that the amendment
was before the Senate there was some
| discussion OF the effect Of the proyis-
ion OF the tobacco interests of Con
necticut. but an amendment locking to
the introduction Of Connecticut tobac-
co in the Philippines for wrappers had
the effect Of relieving the situation in
| that quarter
Immediate attention was then di-
! rected To the clauses providing a duty
on sugar admitted into the Philip
pines equal to that on sugar brought
into the United States and exemptins
300. 600 tons OF Philippine sugar from
duty when brought into the Uniteo
States.
Senator BristOw criticised both pro.
visions and his criticisms opened the
way fer a general debate which was
participated In on the one side My
Messrs. Bristow and Clapp and on the
other by Senators Aldrich and Lodge.
For Benefit of Trust.
IL was contended on the one hand
that the two provisions combined
were intended to promote the in
terests of the American Sugar trust
and not to benefit the Philippine pro-
ducers. while ii was argued by the
admit sugar into the islands free of
duty would be to open the way for
it's free admission into this country.
It was also argued that the sugar
producers Of the Philippines would
be directly benefited by the admis-
sion OF their sugar into the United
States without requiring the payment
of a duty on it.
One Vote During Day.
The only vote taken during the day
session was on an amendment by Mr..
BristCw admitting sugar into the PHI
ippines free OF duty. II was lost II TO
40. Senator Stone OF Missouri. gave
notice that he would soon offer an
amendment declaring for the indepen-
dence of the Philippine islands within
10 years. an agreement having 5ee.-
meanwhile arrived at with the wor;d
powers for the maintenance of the IN
dependence of the islands.
1t was freely stated around the
Senate chamber that the Philippines
paragraph had the endorsement of
President Taft in his own handwriting
and late in the day Senator Aldrtch
stated that it had been endorsed by
the President. Senator Clapp express
ed incredibly on that point
The Senate at 80 o'clock took a
recess until S o'clock.

DUN's REVIEW.

New York. Jan. 30.-Some irregu-
Aarity continues in the Industrial
and mercantile activity. The funda-
mental factor Of strength is the
steadily multiplying evidence that
stocks are so depleted as to render
a large and general resumption OF

and measurably nearer as confidence

There are numerous reports OF en-
larged industrial activity at widely
scattered points throughout the
west and south and distributors and

slow but steady return to the nor

THE ROOF on THE MATTED.

Elihu Root is quoted as taking the
view contrary to Governor Hughes
on the subject OF the direct primary
for United States senator. He says:
Il am opposed TO the direct nomi-
nation Of senators. as / am to thu
initiative and referendum. because
they carry a confession that oui
legislators cannot be trusted. If the
people of the states are not satisfied
with their legislators competent to
perform the duties OF this greal
oommonweakh."
That Is not a valid reason for OPP
posing direct primaries. What should
a representative of the people in the
Kegs azure ask more than that the
pcOpie should instruct him for whom
they desire him to vote? Mr..
Root cannot put his objection on the
ground that the peop,e are not fit TO
select senator; for that would be
equivalent to saying they are not fit
10 select members of the legislature.
The plain trouble with Mr.. Roots
position is that he has taken sides
with the machine politicians. They
do not Ike the western brand CT pop
ular primary under state manage
ment. Governor Hughes has been
fighting just that kind of politicians
with the people behind him, and he
has always won. We believe that
eventually he will secure the popular
primary, Mr.. Root and the politicians
to the contrary. Notwithstanding. II
may take longer to get the new
fangled western notion into opera
ton in the old staid east. but it will
come.

SOME STORIES
AROUND TOWN

It is told of James Coyle, an en-
ploye of the city engineering depart
ment, that he does not know the differ
ence between an owl and a chicken.
Several days ago Mr.. Coyle went to
market. and he spied a farmer with a
coop of fat chickens. He advanced
to the tiller of the soil and said:
How much is that chicken" using
his finger to designate an especial
one. The farmer had caught an owl
and had 1t in the coop, and Mr.. Coyle
pointed to IT, Excitedly the farmer
said: why, yer city teller that's no
chicken, that's an ovid. F" Mr.. Coyle
didn't understand the word ''owl. -
and then looking up said: 81 do not
care how old she is, want that
chicken"

In order to embarrass the admfnls-
tration. II they were not so brave as
to thus acknowledge that they did
very wrong, and acted unwisely ano
inconsfderately and unjustly, when
they voted for the license ordinance,
we might suspect that they are afraid
and wilt under criticism.
We can understand the position OF
the other three members. They voteA
for the license ordinance. The APP
portionment ordinance was devised
10 carry the revenue anticipated
from the license schedules. Theo
voted for that, and in the interest of
the city, and for the sake of consist
ency. they now vote to stand by their
guns.
We believe a majority OF the gen
eral council also will stand by the
ordinance. Any member, who doe
not, Acknowledges error on his own
part: for every member of the pres
ent general council voted for the ap-
portionment ordinance. and thereby
approved the expenditure of revenue
provided in the license ordinance.
