wrestling the respect of a field that is
sometimes hard to handle, that it
would seem q question whether 1t is
more difficult to remain where compe-
titlon is strongest, or to hew out her
own way in an entirely foreign atmos-
phere.
1t is, at present. her difacult duty
to learn more self-repression If she
can: to measure up a friend or an
enemy carefully, and with perfect &C
curacy: to remember that dignity and
good sense win out in time over the
scandal of the streets, and to win the
confidence, first of all, OF her en-
ployers, because she will, the Lord
knows, most sorely need 1t.
She must remember that by her
actions, and in her small way, she is
making the pathway Of some other
woman easier who may come on be-
hind her. and teaching her new world
what may be expected OF her and her
kind later on.
Every ounce Of tact at times Will
be needed; she Will find the average
/ high class business man her friend
and her protector. but she viii also
l find certain rabble, who, condemning
rather than respecting her absolute
| dependence upon herself, win proba-

| ing situation of a helpless woman
with no especially husky male relative
near at hand.
/ The deeper she enters public life,
| the more situations she has to face.
She may be tactfil and clever; she
may know her business and her asso-
.ciates to perfection and then make
| the blunder of talking too much.
This is one of her greatest draw
backs.
It is just as natural for a woman to
talk, too, as a spring to babble in the
| sunshine, but she must, in plain
Anglo Saxon, learn to keep her mouth
shut. especially in small community
That is one of her first and most
important lessons.
And, too. If the occasion demands
she can't slap man all over the place
and call for policeman--like she car
in city; there is notoriety and poll
tics and so on to consider-so she's
just got to get him some other way.
Oh, she has to learn a lot about
tact. and the gentle art of getting
along by herself under all conditions
and at all times.

FREE SUGAR NOT DEMOCRATIC.

Either the democrats in congress
or the majority of them have
been hoodwinked by the sugar trust,
or they are laboring under a self
imposed d~elusoin. The glitter Of
free breakfast tablT talk has
caught them. Apparently they have
become possessed with the idea that
free sugar Is the real thing-the log
ical deduction from the ancient
theory Of free trade. They seem TO
think that, to be consistent, they
must vote free sugar, even though
IL must mean the destruction of the
sugar producing industry in this
country. The house has already
yielded to the seductive fallacy and
has done all it could TO deliver the
sugar industry in seventeen states
Of the Union bound and helpless to
be laid as a victim on the altar of
the sugar reiners' trust.
The only hope~of salvation for the
sugar producers now lies in the san
ity Of the senate. or. failing that, in
a presidential veto.
Here Is where the democratic sen
ators have the opportunity 70 save
the party in congress from going
body and soul into the service of the
trust. There Is no reason why they
should hesitate to vote against the
seduction Of the present duty on
sugar, 3 say nothing of their vot-
ing against the total abolition of the
duty. as passed by the house.
The democratic party stands for
tariff for revenue only. II is not
bound in any sense to free trade. 1t
IL certainly not democratic doctrine
to build up the interests Of a trust.
Neither is ii democratic doctrine to
sacrifice a great industry. to the
detriment Of both labor and capital,
in SO doing. To place raw sugar on
the free list will give the sugar re-
finers the great advantage or raw
material. Practically no refined
sugar IL imported.
The beet sugar factories have al
ways refined their sugars. The cane
sugar factories are beginning to do
SO. This means competition for the
sugar trust. The latter IL az pres
ent a cloud no larger than a mans
hand. but II looms threateningly on
the sugar trust horizon. Once the
cane sugar factories in general es-
tablish refineries in conjunction with
their miss. the sugar refiners' trust
will be threatened. Hence, the com
peting sugar producers must be sac
rifced. and the democrats in con-
gress by some strange hypnotic pro
cess were induced TO WELD the sac
riticial knife.
Sugar Is the only article OF daily
necessity that has not assisted TO
increase the cost Of living. Ii is now
sold in the United States really
cheaper than elsewhere in the world.
Furthermore the sugar duties are the
largest item Of revenue possessed BY
the government. Their removal
would ruin the industry. deprive the
government OF a revenue that would
have to be supplied by some other
tax. either direct or indirect, and
nothing would be gained by the con-
sumers. as the sugar refiners trust
assuredly would not reduce the price
without competition.
The Lower Rio Grande Valley
would be one Of the heaviest losers.
should sugar be placed on the free
list. and every Valley planter should
send an urgent letter 10 any sena-
tors whom he may know. or be in
touch with. urging that the bill be
defeated.

Mr.. Cobolini called the attention

Alderman Crixell stated that the
city was in debt $4,000 or $40, 900
two years ago. Alderman Cobolini

the city's financial condition two

pended its funds as follows:
January, $734.74.
February, $6S9.93.
March, $421.
Mr.. Crixell said the ease for
the larger amount spent in January
was for special police during the
Midwinter Fair.
The report of the water and light
committee submitted by Mr.. Stobart
showed that the plant had for the
month of March an income Of
$~2,6O1.O3, expenses $2.S3O.69, and
earnings Of $3S2.3S. The report in

Special Police Appointments.
Under reports from special com

Saturday evening as instructed by
the council.
Mr.. Cole said that, acting under
his authority, he had appointed
seventeen additional police, and
asked that his action be approved by
the council. This was put to a vote
and carried by a majority of one
vote, Aldermen Cobolini, Kirk and
Brown voting no.
Mr.. Cobolini said that the council

with indignant protest. Already, be-

must be accomplished quickly. or it
would prove all too late. To think
was to act. Stepping instantly in front
of the shrinking girl and facing him,
said sternly:
