THE PRICE OF
SUGAR JUMPS
The Reason Given In "The
American Government"

People everywhere are feeling the
high prices of sugar, but how would
they like to pay eighteen dollars ID
pound for it-eighteen dollars Of
good hard money? That is what a
certain manufacturer In the City of
Washington is getting this very day.
His name Is Uncle Sam, and he
makes it at a plant called the Bu-
reau of Standards. Who eats 1t?
Nobody, and what is more 1t isn't
used for sweetening things at all.
Every pound of sugar that comes
into the United States must be tested
to find out how much tariff 1t ought
to pay. Some of it Is dissolved In
water the rays Of light are allowed
to pass through it. The amount of
"twist' it gives the rays Of light re-
veals the degree of its purity. The
eighteen-dollar-a-pound sugar Is
used rs a yard stock for measuring
the purity Of the imported product.
1t is used for other purposes also.
With 1t the experts are able to test
the instruments which thew use TO
measure the heat value of fuels. If
a big manufacturer or a small on
sumer wishes to buy his coal by the
amount of heat there is in it. rather
Than by the weight of the coal, he
uses an instrument that has been
tested by this eighteen-dollar-a-
pound sugar.
If YOU ever visited a place in your
life that had dozens of rooms, each
one differently constructed, each one
housing a hundred wonders, each
one filled with things so strange as
to make the dreams Of Jules Verne
seem commonplace in comparison,
you begin to have a faint concep-
ton of what the United States Blu
reau of Standards is.

aJtf through this wonderful estab-
1ishment. In the fourteenth chap
ter Of "The American Government"
the new book by Frediric J.. Haskin,
you will be taken through 1t and
everything will be explained to you
in a way that will both entertain and
instruct you. You will find hat
your Uncle Sam is the worlds leading
scientist. Save the coupons.

OF CUTH
MEN ARE OUT
Electrical Wo kers Union Is
sue Another Statement.

Despite claim to the contrary Dy
electrical contractors, there are sun
FIVE men on strike from the Guth
Electrical Company's shop, ACCORDING
tn local Union No. 35S, Information
al Brotherhood Of Electrical WorN,
ers. Certain contractors cId'nleu
that men of several shops struck III
sympathy with the Guth men a week

disagreement with their employers
The latter said the men stole ABOUT
an hour a day.
The union men take exception 70
statements by the Guth concern II

made the following statement to1ay:
wish to contra let an alleged
statement by the Guth Electrical
accusing their journeymen
and helpers of stealing an hour a
day from them, and that they a
deducted that amount from thelr
pay, which is not true, as there was
no time stolen and there we're no
hours deducted from the mems pay,
was stated by the Guth Company.
But the trouble came through the
Guth Company when they sent three
to Metuchen to do a JOB. Inc
men took a half hour for dinner IN
stead of an hour and quit work a
half hour earlier in the evening. The
Guth Company locked the men a
half hour each for that day. which
amounted to an hour and a half.
The men looked at 1t as a small,
little trick and as a result every man
In the Guth shop walked out; but
this did not affect the other four
shops. 1t was limited that the Guth
company and v. P. Christofferson
had planned to get all the contrac-
tors In the city to lock their men out
and bring in scabs from out OF town
TO do the work, but were unsuccess-
ful as the other contractors would
not have anything to do with the
proposition.
1t is also untrue that the electrical
workers held a meeting Friday night
ind that the employees Of the Guth
company complained to them. In
'act, the whole statement is a plan
led lie and was put in the paper to
arouse the sentiment of the public

GIVES SERMON
ABOUT BALLOT
Rev. w. H. BaWden Address,
es Labor Union Men.

That the ballot is Q God-given
privilege, one of the most sacred and
priceless legacles of history to the
man Of today, was the statement
made by Rev. william H. Bawden in
his sermon to labor unions upon the
theme, IF a Common Man we're
Ruler-a Study in the Exercise Of
Sovereignty in the First Baptist
church last night. He held that abb
solute rulers, with no check upon
their will, are a menace, and made
several other interesting statements.
While he uttered nothing from a
partisan point of view, several after
ward remarked that Rev. Mr.. Baw-
den had preached pretty good Bull
Moose doctrine, to which he replied
that he was a staunch Democrat and
al ardent supporter Of Woodrow
Wilson.
The pastor said in part:
Every true man feels responsible
ity and desires to measure up to 1t.
Responsibility grows out of relation
ship; every man has a responsibility
to every other man with whom he
stands In any relation. Sometimes
these relationships are very complex,
making it difficult to discover the re-
~sponsibility SO IS to discharge it.
Perhaps, therefor, they may be the
more easily discovered II there is a
change In point of view, such as the
scout obtains in an aeroplane, when
desiring to learn the various posi-
tions Of the enemy, which might be
very difficult to ascertain otherwise.
Suppose a common man were
ruler, elected to some position of
political power, whether In city,
or nation? What would he
try to accomplish? These are
things, whatever their nature,
he ought now to seek to bring
about, since he Is a ruler. The
the governor, the president
are not the real rulers; they are the
servants of the people, elected to
execute the will of the majority as
expressed at the polls. A public
office is a public trust In our land
the common man is the ruler, the
king, and the ballot Is his scepter.
Absolute rulers, with no check
upon their will, are a menace; con-
stitutional rulers are restrained by
written instruments; democratic
rulers are restrained on by their fell |
low rulers: but constitutional demo-
cratic rulers are restrained both by
written instruments and by their
fellows. Those things that the COM
mon man would do II he had the
power are the very things he ought
to try to bring to pass, within con-
stitutional limits and the restraints
of his fellow voters, as he exercises
bis rights Of sovereignty at the polls.
The ballot is a God-glven privilege,
one OF the most sacred and priceless
legacies of history to the man of to-
day"
Members of various labor unions
OF this section were on hand. They
had asked Mr.. Bawden to speak ON
the duty w~orLingmen owe to them
selves and the public at election
time, along the lines of civic right
eousness. Special music was rem
dered by the choir under the direc-
ton Of Mr.. Dreibelbies.
