Good King Oscar
Character Sketch Of the Late Swedish Ruler
Written by John E. Fe1ers-

There is story to the effect that
up among the cold, bleak fields in the
northern part of Sweden. there once
lived a Lapp, who in some way had
incurred the enmity of his Swedish
neighbors- His sole earthly posses
sion was a small herd of reindeer.
His neighbors sought to drive him
away. and among other indignities inn
posed upon him they killed his entire
herd The Swedish officers controlled
the courts. and the Lapp was denied
justice at their hands
1t was a dreary winter-neyer SO
that far north country The snow was
deep 1t was the second watch" in
the Scandinavian night More than
two months must pass before the sun
would return from its summer home
Securely fastening his '-skidor" to
his feet, the detected Lapp gIided
swiftly over the snow several hundred
miles to Stockholm, the Swedish cap
ltal- He knew that he was poor and
ignorant, but he was a Swedish sub
ject. and as such would be received
by King Oscar He told his story The
king listened He at once or
dered a thorough investigation made
and the report verified the Lapp's COM
plant The king compelled the sIay-
ers of the reindeer to make full res
titution to the Lapp and punished the
officers who had denied him Justice
This is but one of many instances In
which good King Oscar was found on
the side of the oppressed His whole
nature was in sympathy with the help
less. because he had read history. His
mother was the Empress Josephine's
granddaughter. He knew that his il
lustrious kinswoman was driven from
France, repudiated, broken-hearted. a
victim of the rankest injustice that
ever threw its midnight over a noble
life He knew, too, that, although the
man who laid the love of Josephine
upon the altar of his ambition was the
emperor of a great people, and per
haps the greatest military leader OF
| modern times, all his achievements
combined were not sufficient to atone
for that one cruel act.

Washington, D. c., May 26.-For
more than seven hours today the SEN
ate was engaged in the discussion of
sugar as that subject is involved in
the pending tariff bill. Beginning
with an effort by Senator McEnery,
the Louisiana Democratic prote ction-
ist, there were four set speeches.
Three Of these were in support of the
sugar schedule as reported from the
committee on finance, while the fourth
was aepIea- for material reductions
Completing the, speech which he
begun yesterday, McEnery made an
earnest plea for stiff protection, not
only because of the necessity for such
a policy in the interest of the revenue
but because as, he declared, such a
course would render the U, S. inde-
pendent of other countries. He as
serted that there had been change
of sentiment in the south on the sub
ject of protection.
Senators Burrows of Michigan and
Smoot of Utah, both members of the
finance committee, also spoke in sup
