is THERE A SUGAR PRESS?

The senate committee investigat
ing the lobby has further business
with Henry T. Oxnard. His own
statement the other day that the
sugar. trust spent $4,000 to defeat
Cuban reciprocity, and that to &C,
complish this end ut subsidized all
the newspapers it, could get hold
Of" proves it. The correspondence
Of the American Beet-Sugar Com
pany, now in possession Of the COM
mittee, showing that systematic ef,
forts were made by that corporation
to control the press and the Associ-
ated Press, proves it. Mr.. Oxnard' s
protest yesterday against the pub
LEGATION of his company's letters
proves it. @
The correspondence now in hand
refers to various attempts, success
full and unsuccessful, on the part of
the trust to influence newspapers
and men in public life against free
sugar. It shows that there is a
lobby and that it is persistent, I'M
scrupulous and we'll supplied with
funds, but as yet it has revealed
nothing so specific as Mr.. Oxnard's
statment that the trust had actually
Subsidized all the newspapers that
it could get hold Of"
This gentleman has introduced
himself as lobbyist. He seems to
know how the sugar trusts money is
raised and how it is spent. He
passes much of his time in Wash
ington and can be reached by sub
poena any day. Why Is he not
recalled and questioned? What are
the names SO Of t these Newspapers? How
much were they paid? Did they
earn the money, and are they oppos-
ing tariff reform today with the same
lofty motives New York World.

CANCER CAN BE CURED.

s Doctor William J. Mayo Of Roches-
ter, Minnesota. who is admittedly
one Of the greatest surgeons in the
world, says that cancer can be cur
ed. Here is his statement:
after eighteen years Of special
investigation of cancer of the stom-
ach we are assured that it is a
durable disease. Nearly one-third OF
all cancers occur in the stomach, SO
our Investigation proves that cancer
is a durable disease. OF course can
Ger of the stomach cannot be cured
in all cases. Out of 1000 cases
operated on from 1894 to December
81 last, 1878 resulted in cures, 246
patients were improved and their
lives prolonged and 376 were given
up as hopeless after exploratory OPP
erations. Perhaps all of these cases
could have been cured if the dis
ease had been diagnosed in time.

THE MONEY POWER NO LONGER

n VIZ A DICTATOR.
7$ AS evidence Of the fact that the
money trust has wholesome respect
for the present administration We
refer with pleasure to some recent
happenings.
"A few weeks ago Wall street com
menced it's old game Of withdrawing
from the arteries Of trade tens OF
millions Of money. It began to
look as though the money trust in
tended to bring about another finan-
cial panic, if its interests were
menaced by the Wilson adminlstra-
ton. But the Secretary of the Treas
ury quoted the fears of the timid.
by letting it be known that $780,
100000 Of emergency currency would
be issued by the general government,
IL 1t became necessary to do so to
prevent a money shortage. That put
an end to the boarding Of money in
Wall street. The trust fastened to
reverse itself. It concluded that its
old game could not be safely work
ed any more.

Of this bill and have SO expressed our
views before the members Of the
ways and means committee, yet we
have usually found that the trainers
of this bill were pretty well fortified
with data and facts to support the
various schedules. In a bill of 1000
or more items there are bound to be
some imperfectons, but the man who
is waiting for a bill that Is perfect
in its entire structure is man that
really does not want genuine re-

some concessions made on all sides

than wait indefinitely for relief

porting this measure. (Applause.)

bill contained was inspired from a
common almanac. In the same

Committee Of Three Realize that
They are Wrestling with Hard
Problem Statistics Of
Dept. Studied
PROBABLE CHANGES
ARE FIGURED OUT
Argued that Change Of Minimum
Charge to rs Cents for for $500
Gallons will Benefit Trees
and Yards

And still the special committee on
water rates for Chickasha wrestles
with the problem without any definite
results, and the deeper into it they go,
the more do they realize that the prop
osition is hard one.
Alta meeting last night, the commit.
ice composed Of Ed + Johns, H f..
Belts and J r. Abercrombie figured
on the statistics furnished them by the
water department concerning the
amount Of water used BY representa-
tive customers on how much they paid
per 1000 gallons and how much il cost
TO deliver that water through the
mains to the consumer
It was found that the large consum-
er has been paying an average Of 12h
cents to 1872 cents per 1000 gallons for
water Such customers, however, use
in the neIghborhood Of 100000 gal
Ions per month
Several prospective rates were fig
ured and while none have been adopt
ed, the rate that was most fayorably
considered was as follows A mini
mum of IS cents for 250O gallons Of
water. From 25Oe gallons to 1000 gal
Ions. q cents per 1000. from 1000 tc
100000 gallons. 20 cents per 1000
from 100000 gallons to 100000, Il
cents per 1900 from 10000 to 100000
gallons, IL cents per 1000 and all oyei
100000 gallons, 10 cents per 1000, es
tablishlng 10 cents as the minimum
charge
It was generally conceded that the
present amount of 10000 gallons al
lowing the minimum charge is too low
hence the proposed raise to 50oooi
gallons
It was found that 1856 water custom
ers are paying the minimum charg
OF so cents per month for 1000 gallon
OF water and that a number slight,
over 200 are using more than 800
gallons under the present rate.
It is argued that the IS cent rat
for $500 gallons viii give the proper
t. owner a chance to keep his law
and trees watered, which in turn wi
beautify the town and at the sam
time reduce the price to him per 100
gallons
The argument against the raise
the minimum rate from 50 cents to z
cents was that the man who uses po
sibly not more than 500 gallons Of W
ter per month would suffer in the pr
posed raise of the minimum rate b
I, cause he has no use for more tha
500 gallons, and that the raise fro
1000 gallons to 250O gallons for Il
r minimum charge would not be Of be
I eft to him.
The committee will hold anoth'
e meeting before making their report

pointed.
