makers. People who never mine

that the great Creator made you

1t is enough to make one indig.

They do everything but mind their
own business. They never discern
their own faults and follies. By
the time the whole town is criticised
and Judgment pronounced they've
not moment left to do more than
congratulate themselves on their
own good works.
People who don't mind their
own business bring more misery
into families, societies and churches

the pleasant, peaceful stream of
good will into loathsome pool;
they intrude ON ground where even
angels would fear to tread.
Now, minding ones own busi-

CONGRESSIONAL SUMMARY
Sugar inquiry.

| Washington, April S.-Resolutions
of inquiry to elicit facts in relation
| to the sugar industry were introduced
| by Senators Gugenheim of Colorado,
| Carter of Montana anc Smith of
Michigan. All were adopted. The
| purpose Is to procure information in
tended to show that the beet sugar
industry needs further protection and
that in the end it means cheaper su-
gar to the consumers. On the other
hand, Mr. Clay is preparing to show
that the selling price of sugar in
Hamburg and London Is $2T0 per
hundred compared with s4.96 in New
York. and that the difference is due
to the existing tariff of st.95 per
hundred. Senators favoring this po-
sition win make an effort to show
that beet sugar production has not
been successful in this country.
The census bill, reported to the
senate by Senator La Toilette. pro-
vides that hereafter all applicants for
places In he civil service of the gov
eminent shall be examined in the
state or territory in which such appn-
cants reside. and that mo person
shall be eligible for such examination
unless she has been actually domiciled
in the state or torritcGy at least one
year previous TO his examination"
The bill reduces the salaries OF the
chief officers OF the census from the
director down. the reductions being
generally $3.50 each. Subsistence al.
lowed for specil agents is reduced
from 81 to IS daily. In the census
taking persons unemployed are re-
