PROTECTING THE GENTLEMAN IN
 THE WOODPILE

The frantic activity of the protectionists in their endeavors to "eXplain" to an interested public the CHIEF cause of the increased cost of living is beginning to border on the ridicu- Ious.
 Here are some of the 'causes" discovered by the Aldrich- Shoot Cannon sleuths up to the hour of going to press:
 Producers.
 Wholesalers.
 Retailers
 Increased output of gold.
 Farmers.
 DefOrestation.
 Laws of nature.
 Private car lines.
 Over eating.
 Cold storage warehouses.
 Organization of labor.
 Wasteful farming methods.
 And now comes Dr. Wiley of the agricultural department, with the explanation that the real cause of all the trouble is the American hen. He is reported as saying that the hen is being bred for commercial purposes and taught to lay smaller eggs and more of them.
 But in spite of the job lot of explanations :" advanced by the protectionists, the average man has in some manner acquired strong and growing suspicion that the real culprit is the Payne Aldrich- Shoot tariff law. Who is it that is protecting the elusive colored gentleman in the woodpile? Who? Why Taft, Aldrich, Shoot. Hale, Lodge, Penrose, Cannon, Tawney, Dalzell, and in addition the powerful republican cam paign fund contributing tariff trusts.
 Who among the high priests of protection opine that possibly the excessive tariff rates of the Payne Aldrich- Shoot bill may be just an in- significant, incidental cause of increased prices? !? Answer: Nobody!
Daily Arizona silver belt., 1910-02-27
CONGRESS SHOULD INVESTIGATE

President Taft opposes congressional inves- tigation of the sugar trust frauds on the ground that it might give immunity" to the men "higher up' and "otherwise prove an embar- rassment' in securing conviction of the guilty parties in New York.
 It has been presumed from the frst-and there has been no denial from the White House that Mr. Taft is acting in opposition to a probe by congress upon the advice of the attor- ney general of the United States, Geoge W. Wickersham
 Mr. Wickersham was formerly attorney for the sugar trust. Perhaps he knows the mean ing that the words otherwise prove an embar- rassment' were intended to convey. No one else seems to know.
 The record in the most recent of the sugar trusts scandals is as plain as it is infamous By placing steel springs in seventeen pairs of scales, the trust robbed the government of more than $2,000,000 in import duties, and admitted it by returning the plunder. A few minor employees have been sent to prison. The master thieves, the men into whose pockets the $2,000,000 would have gone had their crime not been discovered have not been moested. The present indications are that these men will go scot free. Instead of occupying prison cells as ordinary thieves do, they are in all probability living in mansions on fashionable bouevards Because of their vast wealth, these muti-mllionaire sugar thieves are more of a menace to society than ordinary crooks, because they are in position to bribe the representatives of the people and thus breed more criminals.
 Congress ought to be allowed to investigate the sugar scandal, even if it does mean ''im- munity" for the men ''higher up," which it does not, necessarily. A congressional probe might at least establish the identity of the real rob bers, and that would be safeguard to the aver age citizen, who, in case he should see one of the sugar pirates coming down the street, might be able to run down some alley and escape being held up.
