Washington, March 23.-The sugar
industry in the United States, accord
ing to the wall going up from pro-
tectionists, will be ruined by the bill
removing the tax from sugar, reduc-
ing the price to the consumer approx
mately 2 cents a pound. This, then,
will be the fourth time the industry
will have been ruined" according to
tectionists-always according to
protectionists.
The standpatters said the industry
would be ruined when Porto Rico
sugar was admitted free. But it
wasn't. Then they said it would sure
ly perish when Philippine sugar was
admitted free, and gave up the same
cry when Cuban sugar was given a
downward revision. During this time
of ruin" cane sugar production in this
country increased materially, and beet
sugar production more than doubled,
but the price of sugar has never ceased
W duNduNt u the hC
wholesale price of standard gran
ulated sugar on the day this item is
written is 1856 per 100 pounds. One
week ago today it was S5.75. One
month ago today $5.45, and one year
ago s4.60
Whether the sugar trust finds 1t nee
essary to increase prices to reimburse
itself for the stolen millions it was
forced to disgorge to the government
following the exposure of the under
weighing frauds, or whether the in
creases are actually justified by q
shortage of sugar production abroad
is considered a debatable question by
many. But the fact that the whole
sale price of sugar in London aver
ages 2 cents pound less than in the
United States, the year around, show,
the advantage in favor of the consum

NO MORE PORK "BAR'L" FOR
LEA

Luke Lea, the young editor who rep
resents the people OF Tennessee in the
United States senate. has bowled over
one of the most ancient and undoubt-
eddy the most cherished tradition of
the upper house of congress.
Senator Lea has served notice on
the senate that he will object to the
passage of certain items in the public
buildings bill-familiarly known as the
pork barl" bill.
The young Tenneseean, being new
to the senate, conceived the curious
idea that II was his duty to the people
OF the country to read-and study
this bill. which appropriates millions
OF the peoples money each year.
With a map OF the United States on
the wall near his desk. and a copy of
the census report on population near
at hand, he ran his finger down the
list Of items enumerated In the bill
until he came to the word "Sundance q"
Turning to the map on the wall he
discovered that Sundance is a town in
Wyoming. and a perusal OF the census
report showed the population of the
place to be Isl. counting all the women
and children. Turning back TO the bill,
Mr.. Lea discovered that his colleague
in the senate, Francis f. Warren, had
written there a neat little item call
ing for the expenditure of the trifing
sum of $4,000 for a nice, new post
ONCE for Sundance.
Interested greatly, Senator Lea read
further into the bill. and soon discoy-
cred that Senator Warren. who is a
millionaire sheep owner. and whom
the late Senator Deliver once called
the greatest shepherd since Abra-
ham," had shown an almost fatherly
solicitude for little towns that had no
postofices. The Wyoming senator. he
found, proposed the expenditure of
So. 500 for Newcastle. Wyo.. which the
census report gave population of
975 souls. Also there was an item of
$4,000 for Thermopolis, with a popu-
lation Of 1894 souls.
Nearly a quarter OF a million dollars
for three little Wyoming villages of a
combined population Of less than 5000
souls
Further perusal OF the bill disclosed
20 Senator Lea that numerous sena
tors had written in large appropria
ticns for small town postoffces. Sen

ANGLo-AMERICAN UNDER
STANDING.

THE ordering to far eastern waters
of the American cruiser squadron coin
cides with certain movements made
by Great Britain, and has suggested
the existence of an understanding be-
tween the two powers for the purpose
of sustaining China in its hour of diff
ficulty," the Minneapolis Journal says.
The United States and Great Brit
ain are natural allies in the far east.
and the only chance the two have of
maintaining those policies common to
both lies in mutual support England
supported the Hay policy OF the open
door and thus forced the other pow
ers into line. So important has Eng
land deemed American support in
China that for our sake it has virtual
ly emasculated its alliance with Japan.
THE emasculation has resulted in a
drawing together Of Russia and Japan,
the point OF sympathy between the
two being their desire for further Chi
nese spells. So that today over China
two diplomatic groups contend; the
British and Americans, who would con-
serve. the Japanese and Muscovites,
who would despoil the territory of the
helpless giant
Many months ago the journal
pointed out that without British sup
port the American program for China
was hopeless. Unless the two Eng
disappearing nations stood together,
the open door policy had no chance
Today. not only the Hay policy, but
the very existence OF China as nation
depends upon England and the United
States acting in unison.
China is likely TO undergo a 1one
period of weakness by reason OF in
ternal disturbances. Unless the United
States and England mount guard dur
ing that period it is almost certain &c

ers-"

WHERE UNDERWOOD STANDS.
Chairman Underwood Of the ways
and means committee was interrupted
in his speech against the sugar tax
by a Louisiana member, who inquired
of Mr.. Underwood what he anticipated
would happen to the sugar industry
of his state if the tax was taken on
of sugar. Mr.. Underwood stated that
in all frankness to the gentleman from
Louisiana he did not know what would
happen to the sugar industry Of that
state, but that he did know that the
sugar production of Louisiana was less
than one-tenth of the entire sugar con-
sumption in the United States, and
that he did not believe in the princi-
pie of taxing $4,000, 900 people In order
that a few sugar producers in one
state might make an unjust profit
TWO SUGAR TRUST CHECKS.
When the bill to repeal the tax on
sugar was up for discussion in the
house, Asher c. Kinds, of Maine, arose
and loudly proclaimed that the ledger
of the sugar trust in New York would
show that the trust had sent checks
to the campaign managers of both the
republican and democratic parties. Mr..
Hardwick of Georgia replied. He said
that what Mr.. Kinds had stated was
true, but that the same book also
showed that the check intended for
the democratic campaign fund had
been returned uncashed, whereas the
one sent to the republicans had been
cashed and spent.
FOOD DOPERs IN THE SADDLE,

Dear Mrs. Thompson: Please tell
us some. games to play at a party
which is to be given by club OF ten
girls. TWO FRIENDS.
The following guessing game Is
good: A number of articles OF I'M
known size, quantity, dimensions,
weight, age, etc, for example, the
weight of book, the number Of seeds
in an orange, the length of a ball OF
Irvine, the number of pins in pin
cushion, ETC., are arranged on table.
Then the company is invited to view,
handle and examine the articles and
guess as to their respective details.
Each article should be numbered so
that the guesses may be written on
slips of paper by each person opposite
the corresponding numbers. The best
guesser wins the prize. The full par
ticulars about each article must, OF
course, be known by the hostess and
the slips of paper must be prepared
beforehand. Another good game is
called teapot" One player goes out
of the room. The remaining players
select word which has two or more
meanings. Suppose the word train
is selected. When the player who has
been out comes into the room each
of the others, IN turn, says something

says: 81 like to ride in the teapot.
Another says: 81 heard that Mr.. Smith

An Odd Meeting-By Mildred Louise Dodge.

The social world Is a boiling pot.
That which Is under goes to the top
and after whirling about awhile sinks
again. The loss of fortune among the
aristocrats Of Europe produces disas-
trous effects on the losers. There Is
little or no hope of its recovery. and
they must drop to lower scale. They
can't bear to live among people who
have considered them far better than
themselves.
There Is now an American colony In
every capital in Europe, and those
who are financially able to entertain
and be entertained have an easier en-
. tree to the one main social circle pre-
sided over by royalty than any other
nationality. for the reason that since
we have no titles in America no rank
is expected Of US. Some years ago q
wealthy American gentleman named
Tracy spent a month In Rome. His
wife and daughter, Henrietta, had al
ways moved in the upper circles Of
America. and. having friends in the

AS TO VALUATIONS

sacred right of capital the more
sacred right of labor. l hold that in
asmuch as labor produces all wealth,
and since capital is only the accum-
ulated, or surplus earnings Of labor,
that therefore labors claim to a rea-
sonable reward is supreme, and must
be satisfied first of all in any social
system where the first principles of
justice are respected. believe all
persons, not morally colorblind, will
approve this statement.
And there is another distinction to
be noticed. Some labor-most labor
is productive of values, some labor is
nonproductive, some labor even is de-
structive of values. Some labor pro-
duees value that is immaterial or in
tangible. The reward of labor, then,
should be in proportion to its contri-
button to the social welfare II is
easy to see that our system of re-
wards does not altogether conform to
this principle.
And the physical valuation is not all
There is the human valuation. A la.
oorer puts his life into a hazardous
occupation or an unheathful one. In
few years he is gone, not having
lived but half his days. What is his
recompense? Or his toll is so exhaust
ing that he has no time or strength
for mental improvement, or no oppor
tunity for moral and religious deveI
opment. What about him? And there
are many such. How many dollars

Senator La Toilette, a presidential
aspirant, in his declaration of princi-
pies, declares in favor of the physical
valuation of railroad properties, as a
basis for determining rates. In max
ing this valuation, If understand cor
rectly, he proposes to distinguish be-
tween values arising from actual in
vestments, and those contributed, di-
rectly or indirectly, by the public, thus
endorsing Henry Georges theory of the
''unearned increment In estimating
the capitalization Of corporations he
would separate all fictitious values, all

there may be some difficulty in arriv-

There are, however, some other con-
siderations of which We should take
notice. We have heard much of the
vested rights of capital to receive divi-
dends.. II appears to be a survival of
the ancient doctrine OF the divine
right OF kings, since capital in some
sense represents royalty. 1t has the
sanction of the courts, and underlies
