The San Francisco call., 1910-01-03
IN EXPOSITION


The outside interest in the exposition
already developed has given big i'm
petus to the work of the general COM
mittee and special committees repre-
senting any number of commercial, So
cial and fraternal organizations have
been appointed TO cooperate in the
work of the central committee.
Leaders in the Danish and Dutch
colonies have taken steps to bring the
exposition to the attention of their
home governments through personal
letters and petitions. and organizations
and societies representing other for
eign nations in San Francisco have an
nounced their intention of taking SINH
lar steps
Dr. J. NIolgaard. who was active in
initiating a movement by the Danish
residents of san Francisco to begin
plans for Danish participation in the
exposition. said yesterday he did not
doubt that the plan already outlined
would result in making the display OF
Denmark at the fair the most extensive
and notable ever made by that country
a any exposition.
In order to interest all the Danish
people in California in these plans and
to extend the campaign among the
Danes in all parts of the United States,
to secure general cooperation. the sub
ject viii be brought before the grand
lodge of Dania, which will meet in
Salinas in April.
HOLLANDERS TO PARTICIPATE
The prominent part taken by Holland
in the recent Portola festivities in send
ing a warship to this city, and the
enthusiasm with which Doctor Won
Louden. the Netherlands minister to the
United States. entered into the eXposi-
ton plans when they were unfolded
to him during his visit here a that
time. has assured careful consideration
by the Netherlands government Of any
suggestions regarding official partici-
patton in the fair.

who is prominent in the California
Dutch colony, has written c. c. Moore
of the exposition committee that the
matter has been taken up informally
with the home government and that he
has received assurance that Holland
will be prepared at the proper time to
make an appropriation for the erec-
tion of a building at the fair that will
surpass anything ever attempted by
that country in the way of a foreign
exhibit.

Keep After the sugar Thieves.

| Keep AFTER the
All sorts of encouraging rumors
that sugar millionaires have been in
dicted emanate from Washington and
New York. The American people
would nightly like to see some of
these reports develop into actual facts.
Imprisonment of a few SIS a week
weighers and clerks is not the Ameri-
can idea of adequate results from the
sugar prosecutions.
Refined sugar that costs S496 in
Boston can be purchased for $2.70 in
Liverpool or Hamburg. The 1926 diff
ference does not go into the pockets
of the sugar trusts employees 1t does
not cover up any excess in cost of
manufacture in this country over the
cost of manufacture abroad. 1t is a
bonus paid by the people of the Unit
ed States into the Golfers of the sugar
magnates by virtue of the tariff
Last year more than 100000 tons
of sugar were imported into this coun-
try. Exactly 43O tons of it we're re-
fined before importing. The tariff is
so trickily worded that 1t is to all In
tents and purposes prohibitive.
The sugar barons reap an unearned
profit of $90,00O,O0O year from Amer
lean sugar consumers through this
tariff. Yet they are not satisfied BY
bribery and conspiracy they cheated
the government out of about $4,000 900
year for fifteen years.
Public sentiment demands criminal
prosecution of the sugar kings who
defrauded the customs and the big
politicians whose connivance made
such colossal frauds possible.

Anti-Monopo1y Protection

The issue between the Republican
tariff insurgents and the reactionaries
has not been more clearly stated than
by Senator Clapp, of Minnesota, in his
speech at Milwaukee. 1.-THE recent tar
iff struggle" said he, was in no sense
a struggle between protection and free
trade, but degenerated into a struggle
between monopoly on the one hand
and the true friends of protection on
the other
1t is well to bear this definition in
mind 1t will be remembered that
Senator Cummins and the rest of the
Northwestern Republicans have, all
along, declared their allegiance to the
Republican principle of protection.
Their objection has been only to the
excessive protection which gives the
protected interests close monopoly of
American industry and clothes them
with undue power to exact burdensome
tribute from American consumers.
Thus was, substantially, President
Taft's position all through the presi-
Dental campaign of last year. 1t was
the tariff policy ambiguously promised
in the Chicago platform On no other
platform could the Republican party
have won the great victory it did.
With full experience of the extortions
of monopoly tariff, as illustrated by
the Dingley act, the people of the
country, in both political parties, have
made up their minds that they will
not submit to private taxation levied
in the name of protection to American
industries.
The agricultural constituencies of
the West were long deluded with the
cry that high protection was necessary
to make a home market for their prod
ucts. Finding that they have been pay
ing for this market vastly more than
1t was worth to them, or than was
necessary in order to keep it, they
have gone into revolt against the sys-
TEN.
The revolt will not become less de-
termined than it has been in states
like Iowa and Minnesota for years. or
than 1t is now in practically every
state west of the Alleghenies. From
the Republican viewpoint, Senator
Clapp could not have stated the real
issue more exactly than in saying
that, so far as the tariff is concerned,
1t is to protect American industry,
where it needs it, from foreign compe-
tition and at the same time to pro-
tect the American consumer from the
unjust exactions of American monop-

Holding the Soil.

Make it a point to never allow any
soil to get out of your field. The
fence which crosses the lower levels
may serve a good purpose here by set
ting posts, driving stakes, placing
brush or planting grass or trees where
the most water flows through it. 1t
may be noticed in any field where a
fence crosses a drain that the bottom
portion of the fence becomes in its
downward journey. By making the
fence extra tight in these places and
reinforcing it to prevent giving it
will serve the double Office of fence
and soil builder.
Along these low places in the field
where soil and other matter settles
a succession of dams or brushy ar
restors, may be placed to catch and
hold the wash till the valley grows
to some appreciate width, allowing
the water to spread over wider areas,
and hence it will have not only less
erosive power, but in its slow flow will
deposit all of the substances held in
suspension as it flows onward. This
will make rich valleys and will tend
to fill and widen them with time.
The hillside may be held from wash
ing by planting it to fruit or nut
trees and keep the areas among the
trees in grass, which may be pastured
to a limited extent in the case of
hardy trees, and mown and left on the
ground as a mulch in the case of fruit.
Many hillslopes which wash away and
become barren and useless in a few
years under the pillow may be made
to become beautiful and profitable,
with a perpetual earning power, when
planted to chestnuts. walnuts and a
variety of trees useful either for their
fruit or for their wood. Nuts are
coming into demand more and more
every year, and the timber supply is
diminishing. A hillside may be made
as productive as a rich valley and far
more beautiful by setting it out TO
useful trees and keeping the surface
in grass

MONARCHS AS SMOKERS.


German Emperor's Cigars and the
King of SPANS Cigarettes.
During the last few days the sultan
OF Turkey was shut up in the Yildiz
kiosk he is said to have smoked over
thirty cigarettes every hour to cool
his nerves" For years Abdul Hanud
had smoked dozens of strong Gig
arettes every day and it can be said
without fear of contradiction that he
had been the most ardent devotee of
the fragrant weed that was ever seat
cd upon throne.
King Edward likes cigars cigarettes
and pipe, London Tit-Bits says. He,
however, has no liking for American
made cigarettes, his favorites being
mild Turkish. In his young days his
majesty smoked cigarettes and moth
Ing else, but now he is more fond of
a good cigar than tobacco wrapped in
paper" His everyday cigar is spe-
cially made for him in Cuba of the
finest tobacco.
The German emperor smokes cigars
and cigarettes out Of doors, but when
in the privacy Of his study he puffs
at small wooden pipe of the type
favored by the average smoker and
costing about half crown. The kaiser
consumes various kinds of tobacco
sometimes a mixture, and his cigars,
which come from Cuba, cost about two
shillings each.
The king of Spain keeps strictly to
the cigarette. This is rolled in paper
ungummed and requires very careful
smoking to keep whole. Alfonsos
cigarette Is about as peculiar as the
cigar which the Emperor Francis 20
seph Of Austria used to smoke. The
latter was fitted with straw tube
and had to be held in candle flame
for minute or two before it could be
made to draw
The car of Russia and the prince
of Wales favor the pipe when in
private, but their smoking implements
are of little value. a small pipe of
the bulldog" type is affected by each,
and the tobacco they consume is CT
the common, inexpensive kind.
Bismarck was an ardent devotee of
the weed and it was his boast that he
consumed over a hundred thousand
cigars in fifty years. Thomas Alva
Edison probably holds the record for
the number of cigars smoked daily
by one man, for he has confessed that,

The boast of the Chicago platform
of 1870 that the Republican party
passed the Sherman antitrust law
against Democratic opposition is modi-
fed in the same paragraph by the ad-
mission that the law does not give the
Federal Government effective super
vision over interstate corporations
having power and opportunity to form
monopolies.
Though the law has produced good
fruit in the decision of the United
States Circuit Court at St Louis dis
solving the Standard Oil Trust. it has.
in fact, during the nineteen years Of
its existence, proved very weak r.
straint upon the formation Of monopo-
lies and combinations in restraint Of
trade.
Moreover. in his speech Of accept
ance last year, President Taft pointed
ont two important points in which the
act mischievously goes beyond the
lines OF the common law, one Of them
being that it may be interpreted to
include labor unions in the forbidden
combinations.
Naturally, Democrats have no faith
in the sincerity o. party which.
while laundering against the trusts
in its platforms and IN an occasional
Law OF doubtful effectiveness, pushes
to the last extreme Of radicalism tariff
legislation which fosters, more than
any other one policy. the formation Of
monopolies and combinations against
the people
The effort to make it appear that
Democrats in 1890 or in any other
year have opposed effective antitrust
legislation is rendered absurd by that
party's repeated declarations and By
the consistent policy it has adhered 70.
