Councilman Bartel complained that

corded verbatim in the papers
B. A. Kennepohl appeared before
council and made a speech criticising
the members for voting for the i'm
provement of North d street and not
providing for the construction of side
walks. He said the councilmen acted
like lot of dummies and did just
what the mayor and board of works
told them to do.
Councilman Englebert explained to
him that when the board of works did
not recommend the construction OF
sidewalks council was powerless to do
anything in the matter.
Among others who explained the
situation was Councilman King. He
said in effect that the likening OF
council to lot of high school juniors
was not pleasant.

was told by City Attorney Gardner

When questioned by Councilman En-
glcbcrt as TO whether the city could
prevent the use OF the mains, the city
attorney said that there was.still the
same dispute. the city insisting that
II could and the company maintaining
that II couldn't. lie also declared that
the city was seriously considering
whether II would be any better off by
its contemplated action. as to prevent
the use Of the mains would mean that
large number of residents would be
deprived OF gas. This produced dis
putc between the mayor and council
as to who desired the company to be

council members declaring they want
ed the people to have the gas while
the mayor yehemcntly declared the
people demanded that the company not
be allowed to use the mains.

THINKS SUGAR
WILL STAY HIGH

Oakland Enquirer: One of the most
discussed subjects in the financial
world during the past month or six
weeks is the price of raw sugar, which
has advanced steadily to points never
before recorded In fact, the price
has scared so high that it takes a
pretty clever astronomer with a dou-
ble-barreled telescope to keep track
of it.
The advance which had been expect
ed by producers and dealers followed
reports of almost complete failure of
beet crops in various quarters of the
world, particularly in Germany. This
has resulted in a big drain on the
American production and the Ameri-
can consumer is thereby obliged to
pay the cost.
The stock market is visibly affected
by this condition and, unfortunately
for the consumer, there does not seem
to be an immediate hope of a change
for the better.
AS the crops and the general condi-
tons on the Hawaiian plantations are
exceedingly good this year, the re-
ports of the shortage in the beet crop
had bullish effect on the island Sc
curities and they all made good adj
Vances
Dealers in stocks and bonds are of
the opinion that from present indica-
tons it will not be possible to put the
beet crop on a normal basis for two
years. AS a result there will probably
be no relief, for no material drop is
looked for in the price of raw sugar.
Price is governed by production and
consumption.
AS the production is short and the
demand heavy, the consumers will find
themselves paying sky-high prices for
some time. to come.
All recent hope for a cut in price to
the trade and consumer was set aside
with the announcement that not only
were the reports from the European
beet crop unfavorable, but the Cuban

SHOULD TAKE IT ALL.

Washington has equal suffrage and
women voters are permitted to serve
on iuries, although it is not obliga-
tory upon them to do so and they
may claim their right to refuse, if
they so elect. Many of the women
decline jury duty but others do not,
and committee from those who
don't has appealed to the officers OF
the courts in a demand that smok-
ing in the jury room by the "horrid
men, be prohibited, and that the
ladies be given separate rooms in
which to deliberate. They also OBJ
iect to the custom of locking juries
in their rooms until they agree upon
a verdict and the prospect Of all
night sessions are not alluring, it
seems. They want the jury rooms
furnished with easy chairs and
couches and otherwise made comfort
able for the jurors--especially the
female contingent thereof.
According to The Observers
these Washington women
are not entitled to much consider
alton in their demands. They now
have the ballot-let them accept
things that go with it. If they in
sist upon serving on )ur1es they
should willingly put up with this
incident thereto. 1t
is unjust to ask an Orler banishing
tobacco from the jury room merely
because it is distasteful to some Of
hem. During the long hours of de-
tobacco is a solace which
many men crave and to deprive them
If it is neither right nor good sense.
t would seem that if the ladies |
lon't like tobacco, and the jury |
'oom accommodations, the proper
course for them is to keep off the
uries, rather than to try to over
hrow time-honored customs.

Governor West. He isn't of our po-
litical faith, but this newspaper is a
believer in fair play and has never
yet been guilty of endeavoring to
discredit a political opponent by un-
fair means or the PRONUNCIATION of
falsehood.
We can all afford to be fair and
honest.
