GETTING AT SOME OF THE
ESSENTIALS.

There have been some arid and bar
rem days of testimony in the course of
the sugar investigation; days when
men who did not know or would not
tell were dragged along through hours
of questioning, in the effort to bring
out information that the committee
could have got from authenticated rec
ords. At times it seemed as if the in
quiry was likely to develop a good
deal more of notoriety than of sub
stantial results.
But it has now been turned into
channels which give promise of leading
to results. The relations of the Sugar
trust to the Mormon Church and the
beet sugar industry are developing,
just as they were charged by this
newspaper two years ago, and at the
time strenuously denied. In fact, the
committee inquisition is demonstrat-
ing the accuracy and substantial COM
pleteness of The Times charges in it's
campaign against the trust during the
tariff session of 1909.
The Times at that period demanded
that the vicious joker of the color test,
embraced in the Dutch standard of
color" clause in the tariff schedule, be
stricken from the law. 1t will be re-
called that when the sugar schedule
was taken up in the Senate, five days
of debate were necessary before the
Aldrich- Smoot forces carried the day
and jammed through the iniquitous old
schedule just as it had been written,
for many years, in the interest of the
trust. It was the closest call the old
hierarchy of Senatorial control had
during that session. The defenders of
the old schedule insisted that the
Dutch standard clause was necessary
to protect the public from bad sugar,
and that it did not make sugar more
expensive or the trust more powerful
Since that time the public has
learned the truth. There will be none
so bold, this time. as seriously to de-
fend the Dutch standard. 1t is going
out of the law. The duty is going to
be reduced.
But after all the question remains,
whether there ought to be any duty.
1t is now demonstrated that any duty,
whether it be applied in the name of
the beet, or on the pretext of helping
Louisiana, is in the end a subsidy to
the trust. That condition is wrong
Protection to the industry is well
enough so long as the industry is le-
gitimate. No subsidiary of the Sugar
trust has a legitimate claim to any
protection. In the end, the tariff max
ers must decide whether they will give
the trust what it wants or give the
public what it ought to have.
Free sugar is what the public ought
to have.
Anything else will be what the
trust wants.

LUNCH COUNTER FOR CHICKS
Poultry Raiser Of Many Years Expe-
rience Describes Hopper He
Finds to Be Satisfactory.

The builder of this self-regulating
hopper for feeding poultry has found
by many years experience that it
pays to let chickens have constant
supply Of wheat and other grain. and
he claims that it is economy in the
long run to use hopper that supplies
feed at all times but prevents waste.
The old-fashioned method Of throw
ing out grain for the chickens to
scramble for results in the overfeed-
Ing of the strong and greedy fowls.
and the consequent waste of feed,
while on the other hand the weaker
and less aggressive Of the flock do
not get their share.
This homemade device is designed
to solve the problem, and the hopper
is so arranged that the chickens can
