President Taft against the appointment of
Mr.. Turner as counsel for the United States
in the northeastern fisheries arbitration be-
tween Great Britain and the United States
at The Hague
Justice Giles. who called this all-woman
panel to try this damage suit, has been
on the bench ten years. The trial began at
2 o'clock in the afternoon and lasted until
II o'clock. A verdict for the plaintiff was
rendered at 11:20. The members of the
panel included some Of the most prominent
women of the city. Those who served on
the jury were Mrs. j. w. NOVEL;. wife of
a prominent physician, who was the fore
woman; Mrs. Frank Blakeslee. wife Of a
hardware merchant Mrs. Genevra Lake,
author and minister of the Gospel Miss
Bernice Sapp stenographer to the Supreme
Court and prominent in suffrage work, and
Miss Jean Mcleod, who has been conflden-
tial stenographer for the last five gov-
ernors of the state.
The unusual feature of the trial aside
from the crowds present was the fact
that during the later hours of the evening
the husbands Of two of the jurors sat in
the courtroom, awaiting impatently for
the time when they could escort their help
mates home.
During the trial. which lasted from 2
o'clock to II p. M" said Justice Giles,
"the jury, all educated women. paid the
strictest attention, and In my ten years

Pittsburgh and Tariff.

1t is said that Pittsburgh grocers. to
escape the complaints of their Gus
toners who are angered at the high
price OF sugar, have had printed on
the bags in which sugar is retailed
to their customers, the following
legend:
The tariff on sugar benefits nobody
but the Sugar Trust. Were it not for
the tariff and the trust this package
would cost you two cents a pound
less. Urge your Congressman to vote
for the removal of the tariff on sugar.
If he doesn't do it, don't return him
to Congress. 1t isn't our fault.
Now, if this had been done by gro
GERS in Minneapolis Or Montgomery,
there would have. been no occasion for
surprise. In the West and the South
they are accustomed to ''blame it on
the tariff ana anything mean said
about the tariff goes. But in Pitts
burgh the opposite spirit has always
prevailed. There the doctrine of
protection had it's stronghold and
chief abiding place. They have here
tofore sworn by the tariff in Pitts
burgh, and the man who did not &C
knowledge its benefits was looked up
on as either off in the upper story or
a dangerous hereto 1t looks as if
they have taken to abusing it in
Pittsburgh.
But this is likely but another Of
the evidences constantly occurring to
prove that Gen. Hancock was a sage
when he said ''the tariff is a local is
sue" Pittsburgh may be able to see
that the Sugar Trust is sinful and
should be outlawed rather than pro-
tected, but this same doctrine applied
to steel and the Steel Trust would
likely be resented.
Down in New Orleans grocers prob
ably tell their customers the price of
sugar is high because the sugar crop
was short. They don't mention the
sugar tariff, but they would be will
ing enough for a revision downward
: on steel.
The Sugar tariff is really an oner-
Gus and inexcusable burden. The
United States imports by far the
larger portion of the sugar it con-
sumes, and there is no prospect that
it will ever produce enough for home
consumption.
Until quite recently, even sugar
from the Philippines was taxed and
only limited amount from that
source can yet come in free.
The tariff on refined sugar is all
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1911-11-09

clear profit fer the Sugar Trust, and
OF ali the trusts it is probably the
worst offender. 1t cheated the gov
eminent by using defective scales,
and is now recouping itself for the
expense incurred in defending it's
officers against criminal prosecution
and for the large sum it was forced
to return to the national treasury by
an eXorbitant price on sugar. 1t is
little wonder that even Pittsburgh
has rebelled against the sugar tariff.
