mlttee satisfied that any reduction
of duty goes to the consumer and
any addition of duty is paid by the
consumer in any year under any
duty, making necessary allowances
for market fluctuations Effected by
supply and demand"
DO consumers realize that the
only way to reduce the price of
sugar to- consumers in the United
States is to materially reduce or re-
move the present excessive Tariff? ?
Do consumers realize that labor
does not receive any benefit from
this high tax because practically
no American labor is employed in
the beet fields, cultivation being
done for the most part by Chinese.
japanese. Hindus, Mexicans and
Russians?
DO consumers realize that, ac-
cording to the allegation of the
Government, based on evidence
brought out by the Hardwick COM
mittee, 64 percent of the beet sugar
is produced by companies in which
the Trust has an interest, 80 that in
this way the Trust profits from the
indirect subsidy which is being
paid to this industry, through the
Tariff, at the expense of the Amer
ican consumer
DO consumers realize that under
free trade or a low tariff neither
the Sugar Trust nor any other
combination can advance the price
OF sugar in this country beyond
the worlds value for the reason
thatas soon rs amy attempt is made
to do 80 they would Immediately
come into competition with the
foreign refners? If we interpret
the spirit of the times correctly
this is the position in which Amer
lean consumers demand that thew
be placed on all necessities of life
OF which sugar is perhaps the most
important.

MIR. LESLIE DECLINES.
To the Citizens of Camden:

~ oho OilIACHS VI Sdulucu.
The time has come when L feA
it my duty to accept or decline the
nomination for Mayor rendered
me some time ago by a mass meet
ing called for the purpose of nom-
mating ticket for Mayor and
Aldermen.
In declining this nomination, T
desire to state that fully appre.
ciate the honor conferred upon me,
an honor that does not come to
every citizen in a community, and
L sincerely appreciate this express
sion of confidence, but realizing
the responsibilities of the place,
the additional duties it would in
volve, the work and worry, and
especially the worry of the posi-
tion, l am sure it would be task
for stronger man than L and
more than I can or am willing to
assume at this time.
All those present at this mass
meeting will remember that | pied
with them to nominate a more ca
pable man; | protested in all sim
cerity and with all the powers that
| possessed, and did everything I
could to prevent my own nomina-
ton except to absolutely refuse it.
Since that time l have been assur-
ed that all factions would stand by
me and give me their hearty and
unqualified support if l consented
to make the race. ] can therefore
have no fears of defeat, bat am
frank to confess l do fear the per-
picking questions and the difficult
ties that will arise during the next
administration, and | fear that I
would be unable to meet and solve
then correctly and successfully.
However, this alone would not de.
ter me, and l would willingly meet
the issue squarely and wrestle
with the problems and difficulties
as they might present themselves
but for my enfeebled condition of
health. BeiSg thus handicapped,
l can not consent to assume that
which in my present condition of
health would be a burden, and I
therefore very humbly and respect
fully decline the nomination
| wish to state further and in all
that in declining this
nomination I do so with heart
full of gratitude to those of my
friends who have given me their
hearty support and who have been
so insistent that l relented and
yielded to their appeals and &C.
cepted the nomination. Again, I
assure you of my appreciation of
the endorsement, and but for pres
ent conditions would accept it.
1 will say further that such rapid
and radical changes have taken
place here in the past few months,
such complete transformation in
the alignment of the different
forces, 1 wonder in amazement. I
10 not understand it, and will
therefore not attempt to justify or
it, to accuse or excuse it.
do sincerely hope it may turn
,ut for the best interest of the
community and the glory of Cam
len. In conclusion, will say /
lave not sought the Office, and the
,nly regret l have in declining
he nomination is the disappoint-
nent it brings to my friends, 9TH
srwise it is relief to me to step
lown and out. Again thanking
you, I am,
Very respectfully,

Do consumers realize that the

MRS. BENKO
 TELLS STORY
Murdered Children and At tempted Own Life In Be lief That They Had Beer Deserted-Meddlers

The first detailed account of the frightful crime committed by Mrs George Benko, who murdered her two children by strangling them and then breaking their necks, subsequently, at tempting to end her own life by hanging, reached the city yesterday in Johnston, Pa, newspaper. which came to Gus Haigler and was for warded by former clerk in his store, where the Benkos had been custom CTS for some years. The story as told in the newspaper, follows:
 A ncddling woman is held respon- sible by Mrs Amelia Seabolt Benko for the murder of her two children, Harry W. and William A. Benko, aged 2 and 5iz years, respectively, who were slain yesterday by their mother.
 Gossip of the neighborhood had been sent to Bisbee, Arizona. to the woman's husband, George J. Benko, and this resulted in his failure to send money to carry his wife back 10 Arizona
 Fearing that he had turned against her, Mrs. Benko killed her two chill dren and then tried to end her life. The double crime was committed at the home of Mrs. Benl1o's father, wil- liam Seabolt, near Portage, yesterday morning.
 4 note written by Mrs. Benko to her sister. explaining the cause of the tragedy, which was found by Mrs Seaboldt and destroyed, was re-writ- ten by Mrs. Benko in the county 5ail at Ebensburg this morning and turned over to County Detective Rosco Gus ter. It will be presented to the coro- Der's jury this afternoon at the in- quest In the note Mrs Benko says a woman of the neighborhood wrote to Nr. Benko telling him that his wife was shot true and was living with an- other man. For this reason Mrs. Benko presumed. he did not send her money to return to Arizona, nor wolud he send money to pay for an operation.
 Mrs. Benko had returned to Penn sylvania from Bisbee, Ariz., about four months ago snd had been stop ping at her parents home. After the letter was written by the neighbor, Renko stopped sending money to his wife and she worried. A short time ago Mrs. Benko wrote her husband stating that unless he sent money within 10 days she would kill herself and children. The 10 days expired last Saturday night.
 Some time between Saturday eve ping and Sunday morning the woman strangled her children and then broke tkeir necks. Using the rope with which she shrangied the children she fastened it to a hook in the rafter in tl,s ceiling and after fastening it about her neck stepped from a chair. Her swaying body knocked over the

Great Travellers and Explorers
agree that the food and drink peculiar
to the country where it is used should
always be adopted in that country.
French Market Coffee is the coffee
Of the coffee producing countries
where climate most nearly corresponds
to that Of our Southern States.
1t is therefore, much better sulted
for Southern consumption asregards
food value, etc., than cotfees roasted
for other climates.
This accounts for the marvellous
success Of French Market Coffee:
and why it is called the National
Drink of the South.
Formerly it could only be had at
the old French Market, where the
