The Manicure
Lady
By WILLIAM T. KIRK.

eCIXTHFRED is going with suf-
M fragette now" said the Man.
icure Lady. He met her at
a lecture on poetry and other pastimes
the other night. and I guess she must
be different from most of the suffra-
gettes that 1 have saw, because VIII
fred says she IS g queen and that she
walks in beauty like the night what
ever kind of way 10 walk that is. He
don't call her hair hair a all, he calls
it her tresses. and instead Of talking
about her swell lamps he says she has
lmPid orbs I have had a lot of adj
nirers, George. but none Of the gents
that ever shined up to me called my eyes
orbs. That orb line Of talk might
have went in the old days, but plain
talk and a good bankroll wins more Of
us trusting girls nowadays
It's funny, George, how love will dif-
fer a man. The girl a fellow loves can
make him change his mind quicker than
he changes his tie. Wilfred used to be
fierce against the suffragettes. He wrote
a battle hymn, he called it, for all the
men TO sing, a kind of a bark against
women even daring to think of having
the sacred right Of the ballot.
'T guess he didn't get no men to sing
II. but it was an awful panning for tho
girls that wanted to vote. And the
time the suffragettes had their parade
through the city not very long ago. Will
fred ran along with the rest Of the cut
ups and roasted the walking women as
hard as he could. That was always
Wilfred's speed anyhow. and I told him
so that night when he got home all tired
and hoarse, and the next time he asked
me for a five and turned him down fat.
'Well. anyhow, as was saying. this
new girl Of his has got him shouting
for what she calls the cause. and he
and father had a regular row al the
table last night The old gent amt so
good a talker as Wilfred. but he had
something on brother because he kept
all the time throwing up TO Wilfred
how he used to knock the very cause
that he is plugging for now. There
amt much comeback to that kind Of
arguments, and after a while WNfred
shut up. The row all started over a
fool poem that Wilfred wrote last
night called. Vote, Fair Woman, Vote
brought it down TO read it to you"
you didn't have to do that" said
the Head Barber.
But please listen, George" implored
the Manicure Lady. ION the level this
is so bad it is good. Listen:
Vote. fair woman. vote,
That right must not he denied to
you.
Men try to trample on thy throat,
And often they have lied to you
From where the vast Pacific rolls
To where the Atlantic holds each
boat
Let us shout this cry, a million souls.
Vote, fair woman, vote;
Vote, fair woman. vote!
There is no reason why you
shouldn't,
Gladly would / take off my coat
And work for you, only I couldn't.
I have so many tasks to do.
The same as any well known poet,
But this I ever shall sing to youi
Vote, fair woman, voter"
did he read that TO his new giri7"
asked the Head Barber.

her up this morning"

TARIFF fight, TO.

ALL SUMNER

That the present tinkering with
the tariff by the Democratic party is
making itself felt In a number of bust
ness lines is amply demonstrated by
the following dispatch from Chicago:
According to passenger traffic Off
Gals of number of Western lines
entering Chicago, the volume of pas
senger business at present is slight
.ly in excess of the record established
a year ago, but far below the total
for. the corresponding period in 1911
The chief reason assigned for the
present condition is hesitancy in the
business world due to pending Fed
eraT legislation
Hotels report slump in their bust
ness, as business houses are not send
ing out travelling men until they know
what Congress will do with the tariff
and other matters. There is a decided
slowing up in all lines until the mer-
chants and manufacturers know

CUBA MAY ASK
FOR new TREATY

Senior Rivero, minister from Cuba,
has had a conference with the secre-
tary of state, with reference to the
effect of the Underwood tariff rates
upon Cuban sugar and tobacco. He
laid before Mr.. Bryan facts regarding
the new situation which will be Gre
ated by the passage of the tariff bill
and intimated that Cuba would ask
a new commercial treaty with the
United States ty way Of adjusting the
trade of the island to the lower duties.
Senior Rivero holds that though the
Underwood bill provides for a contin-
uance, of the treaty which allows Cuba
a 20 per cent differential on raw sugar
and tobacco. the planters of the
island would not receive the same
benefit as at present. The new rates.
he says, would result practically in 90
per cent discount from the present
differential on sugar. Under the pres
ent law. he says, Cuba has an adyan-
tage over competitors in other foreign
countries amounting to "a cents TO
the hundred pounds on sugar. AS he
figures it out they will receive about

In Business Cncles---News and Review
SUGAR STOCKS SHOW DECLINE
in TRADING OF PAST WEEK

Few sugar stocks failed 10 suffer a
sharp decline during the past week.
The Iailing of, as general rule, was
more marked than during the pre-.
vious week. On few rare occasions
the stock in one or two companies
recovered slightly, bHt the closing on
an was weak Friday.
The present outlook does not indi-
cate nat the market win improve
soon, but rather the reverse. The
potency OF the two, elements which
have conspired to force sugar stocks
down to their present maryelously
low Prices-that is the unusually
large output of the product in Eu-
rope aud the probability OF the sugar
schedule in the Underwood tariff bill
being enacted-has not diminished.
With the. Underwood bill in the
senate now, and the fighters. against
free sugar working at great odds,
sugar stocks will probably. continue
to fail for a fortnight at least What
may happen after that, if President
Wilson succeeds in his determination
to revise IKE sugar tariff on the basis
| now Incorporated in the Underwood
bill, is beyond reasonable conjecture
at this time n,
The, fact that there was $l6,137
more business done this week in stock
sales than last, and that practically
all the sales, were made on a price
basis less than during the, previous
week, is conclusive OF the effect the
two elements have had ON the local
market.
However, il is contended on one
hand that the price of sugar in Amer
lea has been forced down, to compare
with the prices prevailing in Europe,
as an argument to show that the re-
moyal of the tariff on the product will
not mean a saving to the consumer.
Sugar on both continents is now sell
ing for almost the same figure. This
fact is being urged at Washington
with the statement that free sugar,
under such conditions, can. be of no
benefit to the consumer, but will be a
disaster to the industry in America.
During the week there were 1851
shares sold at the total figure given
above against 3S47 for last week.
Oahu, Olaa and Pioneer were the best
sellers, all bringing reduced prices.
Pioneer went at 1925, thnee-quarters
of a point less than last week. Six
hundred and fifteen, shares were sold.

DUTY OF SUGAR
IS NECESSARY

Truman c. Palmer recently wrote
the following statement which APP
peared in the New York Herald, TO
show that free sugar means mono
poly sugar:
'The present duty of lt3 cents a
pound on raw sugar is a necessity if
the domestic sugar industry is to be
maintained and expanded While,
pominally, the extra duty en- refined
sugar is as much protection for the
refined product of the domestic pro-
ducers as for that of the refiners. ii
operates only to protect the refiners
by enabling them TO raise the price
when domestic sugar is not on the
market. When domestic sugar is on
the market, the price of sugar is so
low that no foreign refiner could sell
his sugar here.
"But if the rs cents a pound
duty on raw sugar is removed, it
places in! the hands of the refiners
club with which they could and I'M
questionably would break the back of
every domestic producer in the coun-
try.
Those who figure that the refin-
ers advocate free sugar for the pur-
pose of giving the people cheaper SUI
gar are counting without their. host
While free sugar would give the re-
timers the power to- reduce prices to
lower figure than could. be met by
the domestic producers, this power
need be exercised only long enough
to drive the home producers out of
business, when the refiners, having
gained their coveted monopoly, could
sell sugar at the old price, and pocket
the extra $52,0O0,0O0 a year, which
low helps to run the federal gov
ernment"- -. II.

% cents under the new tariff, and in
case Of free sugar it would be all
wiped out.
The Cuban minister believes that
a new treaty should be entered into
between the two countries that would
increase the sugar differential to 80
per cent and on other products ac-
cordingly.
Secretary Bryan agreed to consider
the matter and gave the minister as
surance that it was not the purpose of
