FRIDAY. JUNE 4, 1909
EVEN THE NEW YORK
SUN is AMAZED

The following editorial is from the
New York Sun:
In n speech delivered on the floor OF
the House on March 20 Representative
Fordney of Michigan made the follow
ing statement;
"Our present good president, Mr..
Taft, has agreed in my presence that
during his administration lie will not
permit, as far as he can avoid it by his
action, any further reduction III the
sugar schedule if we presumably re-
ferring to the domestic beet sugar in
~terests) will accept this agreement and
let the 300, 900 tons come in free from
the Philippines"
Were this statement less explicit, or
had it been made in private CONVERSE
tion, there would he lie stronger i'm
pulse to declare it incredible and i'm
possible. 1t is II little short of incon-
ceivable that Mr.. Taft, either before
or after his inauguration, should pledge
his official influence during his adj
ministration to n policy designed to pre-
vent any reduction in the price Of one
of the most important articles Of daily
use and consumption in evey house
hold in order to obtain for the Filipinos
II fraction of what should be Il moral
obligation. The tariff increases the
price of sugar to by approx
mately one and n half cents a pound OH
the nearly 1000, 900, 900 pounds annually
consumed in this country. 4 reduction
of half Il cent II pound would put about
$40, 600, 900 II year into the pockets OF
4 reduction of Il cent Il
pound would double the benefit. 1t i,
conceivable that such n possible advan,
taSe has been bartercd in order TO af.
ford the Filipinois II market for a limit,
ed quantity of sugar, II market which
should be given them MS a matter of
rightr
Surely there is some explanation foI
so astounding a statement. If such q
trade as that reported by Mr.. Forlney
has been made. nothing wOuld remain
to be said except that the transaction
was indefensible in law and in morals

At the point in the exercises set aside
by the Sovereign Grand Lodge of Odd
Fellows for an address, District Attorney
Taber was introduced and for about
fifteen minutes he held the undivided
attention of everybody in one Of the
best addresses the writer has heard de.
livercd i'll Elko since the observance of
Memorial Day became Il feature of our
social life.
His words were well chosen and the
sentiment they conveyed made Il deep
impression upon his listeners. He made
no attempt ut oratory. hut earnestly
spoke nf the meaning of the day in
language that everybody could under.
stand. Perhaps, the best compliment
that can he paid him is to SAY that an
old. griZzled veteran, who went through
the horrors of the Civil war, told the
writer this morning that he had heard
many eloquent addresses on Memorial
Day, but zone of them We're more
beautiful in thought than Mr.. Taber's
address. If we say any more. we are
afraid the young man will become
vain.
After the exercise, in the hall. |;

were strewn on the graves If these who
rest from their lulOrS.
