Republicans and free sugar.
| observe that the Republican
press of Colorado appears to have
gone over body, boot and
breeches". to the Sugar Trust,
and is printing the material sup
piled by the Sugar Trusts press
agent without crossing ''T'' or
dotting an IL,
l presume these Republican
editors do not know that the
Democratic party was not the
first to discover the virtues of
free sugar, and that great Re-
publican leaders have champion
ed the doctrine. For the enlight-
ment of these gentlemen ap-
pend an extract from the speech
delivered by the Hon. T. w,
Hardwick in the House on April
18th:
| LET me refer you to several
instances in which our political
adversaries have advocated free
sugar. I read first from the
speech of William Mckinley, de-
livered on this floor on May 20,
1890, when that distinguished
gentleman presented the Nc
Kinley bill:
L would have preferred. Mr..
Chairman, if the article of sugar
could have been left in the tar
iff schedule upon the dutiable list.
This, however, was not practic-
able in the presence Of an almost
universal sentiment in favor Of
the removal of entire duties upon
this article Of universal family
use.'
again, hear the Hon. Nelson
Dingley during the same debate
on May 10, 1890:
The duty collected on sugar
and molasses the last fiscal year
was $55, 975. .6l0, or nearly two
cents per pound. Adding to this
the increased cost of two hundred
and seventy-five million pounds
of sugar produced in this country
equivalent to the duty Of two
cents per pound, and the duty
imposed on these articles was
practically a tax of $55. 500, 900 or
one dollar per head, on the peo-
pie Of this country.
Inasmuch as there is scarcely
another article of common use
not now on the free list which
cannot be promptly produced or
made here nearly or Substantially
to the extent of our wants, the
transfer of sugar and molasses to
the free list will afford conspi-
cuous relief to the people Of this
country
Il next read you from a speech
of Hon. Jos. G. Cannon of ILL.,,
who on May 20, 1890 said:
Mr.. Chairman. the placing of
sugar on the free list will relieve
each inhabitant. rich and poor, Of
one dollar per annum of tax. and
at least fifty cents Of exortation
levied by the sugar refiners.
MY principal anxiety is to
place sugar on the free list and
relieve the people from this great
burden of taxation.
''In 1894. when the Senate
amended the Wilson bill. the late
Senator William B. Allison of

Washington Letter,
BY Edward Heating,
Congressman-at-Large
From Colorado.
From Colorado.

From time to time in these re-
ports and on the floor of the
House of Representatives, l have
stated that there was an agree
ment between the Sugar Trust
and the beet-sugar interests by
which the price of refined sugar
was fixed in every state in the
Union. I have asserted that
that price was the trusts New
.York, New Orlaens or San Fran
cisco price plus the freight to the
point Of consumption.
l have charged that, because
of this arrangement, the people
i. of Colorado and other western
States which produce beet sugar
were compelled to pay more for
sugar made in their own towns
. than the same sugar was sold for
1000 or 1000 miles from the
point of production.
When l first made the asser-
ton on the floor OF the House the
effect on the champions Of tar
iff on sugar was. little short of
amazing. l thought they would
explode with indignation. The
President of the American Beet
Sugar Company, publicly brand-
ed me as a conscienceless prevar-
icator, who was traducing the
promoters of a great industry.
One Of the sugar" Congressman
read this gentleman's letter to
the House with great gusto. At
the time l replied to the attack
with some vigor, presenting the
facts l had in my possession.
Convincing Evidence.
Since then I have come into
possession Of copy of the selling
agreement entered into between
the same American Beet Sugar
Company, (whi:h by the way,
owns three factories in Colorado)
and the Sugar Trust in 1903, and
which, according to it terms was
to continue in force for two
years.
This agreement bound the Su-
gar Company to sell all its sugar
through the Trust and to pay the
Trust commission of one-quar-
ter of one cent per pound on
all sales. 1t was estimated that
this commission would amount to
$42O, 600 annually.
The Trust on its part agreed
not to sell it's sugar for less than
it's ''open price at points of pro-
duction," that is-New York,
New Orleans or San Francisco,
plus freight to point of consump-
ton.
Here is a copy of the agree
.ment. and l do not think any of
the paid defenders of the Sugar
Trust will dare to question its
authenticity.

WANTS HUDDLESTON
TO GO TO CONGRESS
X. Dupont Thompson Suggests Well
Known Attorney as Successor
to Underwood

K. Dupont Thompson, the well known
attorney, issued the following statement
yesterday in which he suggests George
Huddleston as candidate for Congress-:
"Apropos of the discussion of a success
sor to Mr.. Underwood, of all the names
mentioned, none appeals to me so strongly
as that of George Huddleston, provided
he could be induced to offer for the place.
Mr.. Huddleston Is neither a reactionary
nor a radical; he is, however, most GER
tainly progressive. He has never aspired
to political office, but has always been
close student of all public questions
and his activities in all matters for the
public good are well known. His cour-
ageous stand on matters of vital interest
to the people of this community has been
of inestimable value to the general pub
lic
"Atthe Birmingham bar, noted through
out the country for it's high order of legal
talent, Mr.. Huddleston has won high dis
tinction. Having retired from the prac-
tice of law this would be a splendid op-
portunity for the public to secure his
great ability, courage and patriotism.
ri am afraid, however, that Mr.. Hud-
dleston will be somewhat reluctant to
enter politics, but feel that the demand
for one of his capabilities is such that
this reluctance could be overcome

JEWISH NEW YEAR
BEGINS THIS WEEK
Announcement Made of
Services at Temple
Emanuel

Again the Jews, the world over are
! preparing to observe the holy season
which begins with Rosh Hasnanah. or
New Years Day on the evening of Oc-
tober l, and ends with the Shenini At
evening of October 23.
The Reform synagogue Temv
Emanu-El, has accepted the kind offer
of the Southside Baptist church. DR..
Preston Blake, pastor, and will conduct
their services in that handsome edifice
during New Years Day and Atonemenl
day. New Years services will begin on
+, Wednesday, october 1, D. M. and on
1Thursday morning at 1890 Tie public
is cordially invited Seats are free.
The following information regarding
Rosh Hashauah has been issued by the
American Rabbinical council:
| In the Jewish tradition. the Rosh
iiashanah marks TIE anniversary of the.
creation of the world, supposed to have
taken place 5674 years ago. The pres
ent Rosh Hashanah therefore, will
mark the beginningsof the year 5674
The change of date, however, is OF
little or no Importance, and if the Jew
ish New Years Day had no further
significance. its appeal to the Jew
would be very faint indeed. 1t is not
the change of year but the change of
life that this day stresses, that makes
1t stand out as one of the holiest days
| in the Jewish calendar. Herein it .ad-
| ically differs from our civil New Year,
| it Is day set apart for introspection
and self-examination. The sacred char
acter of this day is implied in the two
other names by which 1t is known. viz:
the Day of Memorial and the Day of the
Blowing of the Trumpets. In he first
place it is the Day of Memorial, or Re
membrance. AS such, it calls lpon the
Jew to remember the divine purpose OF
his life; secondly, it is the Day of the
Blowing of the Trumpets. It's purpose
is to rouse Israel from his self f-compla-
cency and stir him to high resolves and
nobler deeds.
THE Rosh Hashanah derives its sig
nificance from the fact that 1t is but
the Introduction to the Day of Atone
ment which follows 10 days later Be-
lore one can realize the need of atone
ment it is necessary that he become
conscious of his shortcomings; for so
long as We imagine ourselves whole.
1t may never occur to us that we need
physician; so long as we do not ad
init our sinfulness, we shall hardly feel
the need of being forgiven. Hence, to
make the atonement possible, we must
have Rosh Hashanah which is also
designated as the Yob Hadin--the Day
of Judgment-the day whereon we
weigh ourselves in the balance, and
perforce, find ourselves wanting; for
there is no righteous man upon earth
that doeth good always and sinneth
not"
The essential ceremony of the serv-
ices in the synagogue on Rosh Ha-
shanah is the blowing of the trumpet,
in accordance with the injunction in
Leviticus 23:24, which reads In the
seventh month on the first day of the
month, shall ye haze a Sabbath a me-
mortal of blowing of trumpcts. and

In the reform synagogue, Rosh Ha-
shanah is celebrated from Nsunse. of Oc-
tober l to sunset of October 2, whereas
among orthodox Jews the holiday does
not end until sunset of October 81

rural community would, with such
cooperation, become intensely inter
esting and inspiring. In many COM
muniues which are divided up into
not too neighborly groups of differ
ent nationalities, common language
would be found in the newly organ
lied business. But on this subject |
could go on talking forever, for It is
my life's work. Let me briefly sum-
Marie what / have endeavored TO
make clear to you.
We of the English speaking peo-
pies have made a grave error in rele-
eating to position of inferiority
that portion of tive population which
is still pursuing the oldest and most
honorable human occupation-the
basic industry of all nations. We
know how it all came about and we
need not trouble ourselves with idle
regrets, but it is quite clear that we
have got to mend our ways. The
idea has got into the American mind.
Mr.. Roosevelt's country life commits
sion probably stirred more thought
than is generally realized. Agricul-
tural credit, an important part of
agricultural economy, was a plank
in the program of the three parties
at the presidential election. The
Southern Commercial Congress, with
the cordial support of President
TAFT, started movement to inquire
into agricultural credit in Europe.
Now, finding that not only the credit
facilities but the whole organization
of the farmers business, is a matter
Of public concern, they have widened
the scope of their inquiry so as to
embrace the essentially important as
poets of the subject. Lastly, you
have done my country the great
honor of asking me to tell you how
the Irish farmers are dealing with
this same problem in their little is
land, and how far, from my acquaint-
ance with agricultural conditions in
your vast continent, | can show that
Irish experience can be of use to
those who are dealing with the prob
lem over here. This l have endeay-
ored to do, and l hope you will
further honor by country by Undue
ing the American commission, when
they have studied the achievements
of the continental agricultural econ
omy l have discussed, to come to
Ireland and study the methods by
which the teachings of European ex-
perience are being applied in an Eng
lish speaking community. Ireland
in all it's history has been mission
airy country. If, in this contribution
to rural civilization, we Irish can
make some return for the inesti-
mable debt we owe to the country
which has given us a second home.
we shall indeed be proud
