PLAN GREAT FIGHT
ON SUNDAY LAWS
AdVentistS World Over Will
Support General Oppo-
Sition in States.

Following the agitation over the ar
rest and conviction of David Cruze. in
Tennessee, for engaging in work on
Sunday. the world conference of Sew
enth Day Adventists at TakOma Park
this morning inaugurated a movement
TO fight Sunday legislation in all the
States OF the Union
The most significant report that has
yet been adopted Stree the conference
went into session was passed shortly be
fore noon recommending that there be
an equal division OF funds TO the gen
eral union, and local conferences Of
America for the purpose of opposing
new sunday laws. Heretofore the var
Ious local and state conferences have
been required TO fight their own battles.

be arrested for working on Sunday. To-
cal funds would have to be subscribed

Adventists Win.
Adventists of Colorado learned of a
big victory this morning when a state
nent was read before the religious
liberty department from Judge c. c.
Holbrook, of that State, to the effect
that Sunday closing laws are uncon-
stituuonaL Judge HolbrooS Is a dis
trict judge in San Louis valley. west
eFn Colorado, and his statement Prac-
tically means that while Colorado has
Sunday closing laws, ne viii not en-
force them in his district
The statement of the jurist was read
in response 10 the question. How 10
plead in court. guilty or not guilty? -
when charged with violating Sunday
laws. The answer was that a plea of
not guilty should be entered. as the
state has no right to pass law in
terfering with a mans worship. and re
hgton, and that therefore a person ar
rested under such a law is not guilty
from a legal standpoint.
Before Conference.
It is expected that arrangements viii
be worked out before the adjournment
Of the conference looking toward the
completion of the financial scheme to
be emkpuoyed in fighting Sunday legls-
lation.

Misleading.

The Blue Front Market has announced
Tuesday, June 1. as the closing date Of
their New Name Contest. This con
test was originated by the market for
the purpose OF obtaining new name
that could not be confused with the
decorative scheme OF any other market
many of their patrons having been mis-
led into entering other markets because
the color they were painted correspond
ed with the name Blue Front
The announcement of the closing date
has created considerable new interest.
Some contestants have sent in three or
four sets OF suggestions at various
times. thereby increasing their chances.

ton Of beets is cot making a satlsfac-
tory gain, and predicted that this con-
ditton would continue.
Trust Dominates All.
Senator Cumnins laid much emphasis
on the fact that the American Sugar
Refining Company, that is, the Sugar
trust. absolutely dominates the sugar
situation in this country. He declared
the conflict between the beet sugar in
terests and the cane sugar interests
was perpetual and it was impossible
TO legislate with equal favor for each
in the same bill
Challenged by Senator Smith of Mich
igan as to the domination of the beet
sugar business by the Sugar trust. SEN
ator Cummins said:
IN 1897, there = ere eight or ten beet
sugar factories. They produced abouT
40 600 tons of beet sugar. In five or six
years from that time, the beet sugar
business grew TO its present proportions.
The beet sugar producing capacity is no
greater in this country now than 1t was
five years ago. Why.
Gives the Answer.
simply because cane sugar pro-
ducers reached the conclusion that the
beet sugar business in the United States
had grown to be as great as it could
safely be with regard to the interests
of cane sugar.
To-day, you cannot establish a beet
sugar factory without the assent of the
American Sugar Refining Company. The
position of the American Sugar Refining
Company is such that no man, II he has
any financial sense whatever, will es-
tablish a beet sugar factory unless he
aakf Iva a IN America
Sugar Refining Company. Or. If this eX-
preston is offensive TO any Senator, l
will say the refineT 'es. These refineries
have such a grip or the sugar business
that the beet sugar business has grown
only as they have approved.
Smith Tt Rescue.
Senator William A den Smith of Mich
igan. who is chamr ioning the retention
of the high sugar duty, interrupted to
enter a defense of the sugar schedule
against the attacks made on it and TO
defend the doctrine of protection
The Senator from Michigan, said
Senator Cummins, lis always delightful,
always charming. and always irrelevant
and immaSerial."
He proceeded to point out that Sen
ator Smith was arguing about matters
not at all to the point of the subject
under discussion
In the outset of his speech. Senator
Cummins sought to show that the con-
fiict between the cane and the beet
sugar industries was endless, that II
would never be depressed. He held it
was not possible 20 protect both the
cane and the beet sugar interests In the
same bill For himself, he said, he
chose to foster the beet sugar interests
for the reason that the beet sugar pro-
duction could be made such as TO sat
fsfv the demand Of the country for
sugar and make importation unneces-

The conflict Senator Cummins said
was really between the cane sugar re-
f1ners and the manufacturers of beet

ment, and / viii defend it
Dutch Color Standard.
The next assault of Senator Aldrich
was based on the claim that the color
standard is necessary to prevent bleach
ed. but imported sugars coming into
this market and selling as if they were
refined. This argument is one OF the
strong reiances of the Senators who are
making the desperate fight to save the
standard
Senator Bristow pointed out that the
argument was in truth an answer to
itself: the test is so worthless that
sugar of very low purity may be bleach
ed TO look as white as refined pro
duct of 100 per cent purity. The color
test provides no defence TO the con-
sumner against that: it is only the polar
iscope which serves as protector in such
case-the poIariscope, which proves sthe
fraud. and the pure food law, which
provides for prevention of such frauds,
and their punishment
Senator Cummins took the floor early
in the day, and spoke at length IN sup
port of the amendment to strike out the
color test He urged that II ought 10
be the purpose o protect the American
industry, and TO that end, he said NJ
should. if empowered make two sweep
ing changes in the present law. lie
First-strike out entirely the Dutch
standard of color which. ne said, serves
oniv the purpose of forcing all tTOpic
sugars to 20 TO the trusts refiuerles-
Second-Wipe out entirely the differ
entail between refined and raw sugars,
and let all come in on the same duty
Quotes Allison.
He made a strong point when he
quoted the late Senator Allison as an
authority for the statement that the
only right way to conserve the interest
of both the consumer and the beet sugar
industry is to pay a bounty to the
beet sugar producer, and lower the duty
on trOpic sugars for the benefit of the
consumer. He quoted the language used
by Allison in the discussion of the
Dingley act. when he offered an amend
ment to pay 4 cent per pound bounty
on beet sugar The amendment was af-
terward Withdrawn because it opened
such a wide field of discussion; but Sen
ator Allison declared his conviction that
this was the only right way To do the
thing that was wanted
Cummins insisted that there is an ir-
repressible conflict between the beet and
tTopic sugar interests. and il can never
be settled by mere adjustment of tar
ifs. Ell read testimony to show how
complete is the trusts control of both
Louisiana and beet sugar production,

present scheme of a double test-the
pOlariscope to show purity, and the

the beet sugar industry by the trust has

Cummins, delivers the beet sugar
manufacturers into the hands of the
cane sugar rehners."
Senator Foster of Louisiana agreed
that there was a conflict OF interest be-
tween the cane sugar people and the
beet sugar manufacturers. He held it
was a mistake to allow PHILIPPINE sugar
10 come into this country free and
asked Senator Cummins to suggest a
remedy.
Senator Cummins did not attempt TO
offer any
Senator Cummins took the view that
free sugar from the PHILIPPINES would
benefit the islands but not the United
States, but said that his view of ths
white mans burden was such tha+
when the time came he should prob
ably vote for free sugar from the Phil
lipines.
Has Many Arguments
Senator Cummins had numerous set
tos with Senator Smith of Michigan.
Senator Curtis of Kansas, and Senator
Foster of Louisiana in the course of
mis- speech.
To show that the idea that the beet
sugar interests were at a disadvantage
as compared with the cane sugar in
terests. Senator Cummins recalled the
fact that Senator Allison had himself
proposed a beet sugar bounty of u of
a cent per pound,
Admitting that Senator Smith had
the interests of the beet sugar pro-
1ucers at heart, as well as himself,
Senator Cummins said the only ques-
ton was how this could best be done
THE Senator from Michigan thinks
It can best be done by allowing the
Tefiners of cane sugar to make excess
sive profits / think it can best be
done by Withholding from the Tefners
the opportunity to make excessive
profits
Repudiates Suggestion,
Senator Smith, after q tilt with
Senator Cummins. growing out of his
interruption of the Senator from
Iowa, said he repudiated this sugges-
ton, and said that what he was seek
ing was TO give stability tc the Gov
eInmental policy of a sugar tariff.
Those who favor the present para
graph, said Senator Cummins, If they
