Free Sugar Would Hurt Growers

Colonel Francis Littlef1eld, who has
large sugar plantation in Louisiana,
says that IL the free sugar bill is
passed American sugar plantation
owners will be driven out OF business.
Colonel Littlefield, who is at the Palace.
said:
II do not think the senate will pass
the free sugar bill. Undoubtedly there
will be a strong effort made to fore
through the senate the measure that
will be passed by the house, and there
appears to be little doubt that the bill
in the lower branch of congress will
provide for free sugar. Just what
form the senate amendment will take
no one can now tell, but there seems
to be strong probability that combina-
tions will be formed among the OPP
ponents of free sugar and senator's op-
posed to removing the duties from
other articles. Louisiana planters would
be content to have the schedule remain
as 1t Is, and they would even con-
sent to slight reduction in the duty.
but they Will never stand for free
sugar. 1t would be suicidal for them
to fail to fight against the PROPOSE
tion. The argument has been made SO
often that free sugar would ruin the in
dustry OF Louisiana that 1t is redund-
ant to dwell upon it, but I am con-
vinced that our planters would have to
go out OF business IL congress were
to place 1t on the free list
The free sugar men have asserted
that the removal OF the duty would
result In the lowering of the price to
the consumer nearly two cents a pound.
This is an absurd statement. 1t Is
true the price might go down for a
year or two If the duty was taken off,
but you can bet 1t would go back to
its old figures after that. and there
would be no permanent reduction"

Flour May Be Cheaper-Maybe
George Pierce. a grain and -four
dealer OF st. Paul. who Is at the Manx,
says that hour may be cheaper this
year than 1t has been for a long time
Mr.. Pierce said:
Flour may be cheaper this year than
1t has been in many years. j don't
say that 1t will be. but that it may be.
The present indications from the wheat
and grain fields of our northern country
are that the crops will be. record break
ers. With a big supply OF hour and
grains on hand now and the big crops
to be harvested. it Is reasonable to be-
lieve that the price OF these commodi-
ties will be reduced. 1t is possible that
the big jobbers will form a ring to
keep the prices up. One thing I am
certain of, however, and that is that
the grower will not be paid q big
price for his crop.
1T is a wonder to me that the people
do not urge the government to take
steps to investigate the manner in
which -four is handled. The public
is forced to pay more than 1t should,
and I think that the government could
remedy this to certain extent. Per-
sonally / do not think big corporations
handling foodstuffs should be permitted
to make exorbitant profits. 1t is the
poor people who suffer. The govern
ment should protect them more than
1t does
"The time will come, and very soon.
too, when our law makers in Washing
ton will be forced to listen to the COM
plants against the food trusts and

Pitch Springs in Greece.

On the island of Zante, Greece, there
are to be found what are locally call
ed pitch springs. They are at the
southern end of the island in broad
swampy basin, shut in on three sides
by mountains and open on the fourth
side to the sea. They are really
springs of crude petroleum which ac-
cording to analysis is of very high
degree Of purity.
The petroleum issues from the earth
in water basins, oozing up through
the mud in drops which break and
spread upon the surface of the water.
The flow is very slow in the several
springs, not amounting to more than
a few gallons a day The springs
were mentioned by Greek historian
some four centuries before Christ
They seem to have been considered
merely as curiosity until about fifty
years ago..

The First Time,

Poets have written wonderful things
about first kisses, and the first roses,
and such like beautiful thoughts, but
it is doubtful if any man can recall
happier time In his life than the first
time he was allowed to go to a tailor
for his suit. The first time he was
really measured for clothes by a real
ta1lori Of course there are people who
We're pampered in the lap of luxury,
and had even their swaddling gar
ments cut and fitted to measure by a
tailor with crest on his stationery,
but the ordinary human being of the
male sex who had to wear his older
brothers clothes the second season
has a different outlook on life.
Do you remember how timidly you
approached the tailor, and with what
awe you admired his brisk way of
Whisking the tape measure through the
air. And he took your name and wrote
1t in book and had julius take down
the cabalistic figures. And you stood
up on that little pedestal while he
chanted "34, SO, IS, 6A, 81, 27, side
and two hips" or something like that
And you grinned grin of foolish, en-.
chanted delight all the time-and won.
dered If he saw and understood it. He
did, he did. But he wouldn't have let
on for the world. He knew. He knew
just how you felt when he told julius
to write raise left shoulder half an
inch. He knew what agony of mind
was yours when you couldn't tell
whether you wanted the knees wide or
medium. He knew the soul throb that
was yours when you took the bit in
your teeth and answered right off the
reel that you wanted a collar on the
vest.
Why, even now, thinking of 1t, the
same old sickly grin comes over your
face, and sou feel yourself standing
there, with the old tailor peering at
you through his thick glasses, and Ju.
Illus moistening the pencil on his
tongue while he wrote the details.
Great, wasn't it?

1 With the end of registration rapid 1 ly approaching the apathy shown by 1 the 1000 or more voters Of Phoenix l in the issues of a new charter and a $25O,O00 bond election is remarkable. Judging by registrations of other days it is generally supposed that during the last week or so when en- rollment may be made that wonderful strides would be made and that
 heavy enrollments would be recorded
 Despite the fact that City Re
 corder Frank Thomas has a full
 corps of assistants ready to take
 care of those desiring to register,
 only eightythree new names were
 added to the rolls yesterday. making
 a total of 674 who have thereby qualified to vote upon the charter question. At this rate the registra-
 tion would fall far short of that for the previous charter election at which election there were not more than half as many voters in Phoenix as at the present time. women having since then been the privilege of the ballot.
 The business men of Phoenix, anxious that a true record of the opinion of the voters of Phoenix shall be recorded at the elections on October II. are discussing earnestly the project to secure automobiles and for the few remaining days of regis tra tion to call upon every man and woman entitled to vote and offer to them to the city hall and re- turn them to their home or place of business.
