n. 0. Loses
House Vote

BY vote of 1873 to 1s9, New
Orleans lost the Panama Exposi-
ton before the House of Repre-.
sentatives Tuesday. The Senate
is yet to consider the matter but
it is almost certain that New
Orleans will loose. Politics have
figured considerably, in feet if
President Taft had not whipped
Republican members into line
we would have won. We are
very much opposed to executive
influence and control of q legis.
lative body, and can not help
wondering how Gov. J. Y. San.
ders and Mayor Martin Berham
feel over this interference, espec-
ially 50 since each of them have
50 repeatedly practiced the same
political methods.
There is but one hope for New
Orleans and that is that the bill
oe killed in the Senate and in |
:ase it does the next legislature. |
which will be largely Democratic,
will likely favor New Orleans.

tne secretary OF Agriculture
published at the time of assemb]
age Of Congress in the bcginnin,
OF last December, the combined
value of all of our home sugar
production, including syrup, mo
lasses and beet.pu)p, was partl,
ascertained and partly estimated
to have been for the year 1915
about $97,000,000, against $101
100000 in 1909. This valuation
does not include that of the
syrups and sweets of the Corn
Products Company, which large.
~ masquerade as cane.sugar
compounds in table syrups, in
soda water, and In manufactured
corfectioneries.
The annual home production OF
honest and legitimate sweetening
in this country, in round nom.
bers, might be put down at a
valuation Of 800, 1000, 900.
According to that recent re.
port from the Department of
Agriculture, the value of the
sugar and molasses imported
last year is calculated at approx.
imately $106,W0.C00.
Thus sugar and molasses
were among our leading imports.
When the balance of trade be,
tween our imports and exports
is very largely in our exporting
favor, the political economists
and statesmen of the party in
power, when that desirable con.
didon prevails, usually boasts of
it - q direct result of their wise
administration of the general gov.
ernment.
That balance has been working |
extensively downward during re-
cent years; and some of our al.
legged wise men have already is.
sued the grave warning that the
baiance must be in favor of i'm.
ports within a very few years,
and that we shall be compelled to
pay more for what we purchase
abroad than we are paid for what
we sell to foreign countries.

THE sCaIE sKuI IaNDvacEs

MT. Charles Dillon in the World s Work for August shows that the tech nically trained mechanic has an ad- vantage over the unskilled workman that is of lifelong duration.
 Here are some figures that Mr. Dillon gives:
 ''The apprentice, or the boy who picks up a trade, learning it chiefly by imitation and without much in struction: enters machine shop at struction, enters a machine shop at sixteen and earns an average wage of $3 week. At twenty his wage scale is S9 a week. At twenty-one and a half he may be earning $13,20, and he reaches his maximum earning ca- pacity at twenty-four, when his in- come is $15.SO a week-not nightly encouraging outlook, but one that is based upon the life experience of thousands"
 The boy, however, who has spent the years between sixteen and nine teen in a trade school, starts with a wage of SIP a week, equal to that of the apprentice at twenty-one At twenty-three he is earning SIS a week-or $6.20 a week more than his untrained brother.
 The difference between the life long earnings of these two boys, as approximately estimated, is the differ ence between $29,O0O and s4O,OOO.

WHY MORGAN'S TREASURES RE-
 MAIN ABROAD.

There were discontented Americans who used to complain because MT Morgan left so many of his art pos sessions in England. The former sec retary of the Treasury, Leslie A Shaw, once asked him point blank why he did not bring his pictures and miniatures and other beautiful things to America, where the American peo- pie might have a look at them
 MT. Morgan said: 'I can't afford to-"
 'I knew you were a poor man. said Shaw, "but I didn't realize you were as poor as that
 MT. Shaw returned Morgan, "how much do you suppose the duties on my collections would amount to if l should bring them to New York?"
 Perhaps two Or three hundred thou sand"
 They would amount to at least six millions From .Morgan-The Man Himself" in the August Metropolitan Magazine

Third Degree Is Getting The Nerve
 Of Harry Bealtie
Special from United Press.)

Richmond. Va.,s July 2s-With Henry Clay Beattie showing the first traces of emotion since the night he carried the blood soaked body of his murdered wife home from her last auto ride, the Richmond police, today, planned an elaborate third degree of the accused man. They believe that the hard, indifferent attitude that Beattie has maintained since the coroner's jury branded him a wife murderer. is changing and they hope to break down the already partially disproved story, to which Beattie has steadily ao- heared since the crime.
 The constant nagging of detectives and the close confinement have finally made Beattie nervous and melancholy, and the police plan to make the most of his relinquishlnS the 'I don't care' attitude.
 The grilling examination that the police have kept up, almost day ana night, on the three prisoners in Rich mond jail, Harry Beattie, Paul Beat tie, and Beulah Binford, today, arnus- ed considerable opposition. Judge Carter Scott visited the jail, today, and served notice that unless the grilling of Beulah Binford was stopped he would remove her beyond the reach of the detectives.
 With this as a starting pofnt,i Henry M. Smith, counsel for the accused man, today, began a campaign to counteract the public prejudice against Bea ttie

MORGAN,S CIGARS.

MT. Morgan owns the Santa Clara province in Cuba, where a particular ly dark and fragrant variety of to- bacco is grown; his cigars are made for him out of this special leaf, and these large black cigars of his figure in innumerable anecdotes. Here is one which he once told himself. "I was going aboard the yacht and found that I had nothing to light my cigar with; so I ventured to ask one of the men on the pier for match. Tn return for the courtesy I handed him one of my cigars-which I think good deal of. He accepted it promptly.
 Thanks to you he said, I was just out of tobacco
 Then he broke it into little bits and stuffed it into his pipe!"-From "Morgan-The Man Himself in the August Metropolitan Magazine.
