If they keep it up long enough for us
to buy thousand mile ticket, we will
very likely buy it, so, what's the diff

mileage; this year they will pay cash
and editors of papers can buy their

EXCURSION BOAT
DEALERLOSES SUIT
Court of Appeals Rules Liquor
Sales on the Angler Was
IIIegaI-Fine Stands.

The judgment Of Police Court con-
victing Lewis Jefferson Of unlawfully
selling liquor in the District-on the
steamboat Angler. on the Potomac
river-and imposing a fine Of $50. was
affirmed by Chief Justice Shepard, of
the Court Of Appeals. today.
Counsel agreed on statement of
facts and asked the upper court to
render judgment. The Angler is an ex-
cursion boat having a bar. On August
IL, 1912. after backing out from the
Seventh street wharf, and while in the
channel opposite the sea wall of Po-
tomac Park, intoxicating liquors were
sold at the direction of Jefferson, who
was manager of the boat. Liquor also
was sold on the return trip while the
boat was between Alexandra and the
District.
1t developed at the hearing that the
Excise Board had refused to grant a
license to Jefferson on the ground that
II had no authority to do so under the
excise law. Counsel for Jefferson fur
ther argued that the excise law did not
extend to boats operating in the Po-
tomac river in interstate commerce, and
that the facts as stated did not consti-
tute an offsnse.
Chief Justice Shepard held that
whether the Excise Board had power TO
issue a retail liquor license was i'm
material, and that the refusal to issue
a license did not Justify the sale Of in
toxicants without license.

close to him that the hub grazed his

to assist his victim, but Howe, in the
meantime, had regained his feet and
protested he was uninjured.
Just as the ambassador was about to
proceed his informer essayed TO walk.
but was unable to take step. Where

and carried him home, and then pro-

Eenedeil. 1.-THE Administration forces
have been proceeding on the theory that
ali duty on sugar must ultimately be
removed and sugar be placed on the
tree list. The beet and cane sugar pro-
dtfcers cannot conceive how such con-
dltion can ever be sought by a Demo-
cratic Administration. since Democracy
has for more than century preached
and practiced a tariff for revenue. and
sugar Is the ideal revenue producer: For
the frst time my party has raised the
radical flag of free trade.
form that no tariff changes snoulI in
jure q legitimate industry. and Prosi-
dent Wilson, speaking at Pittsburgh on
October IL. 1919, saio:
The Democratic party does rot pro-
pose free trade or anything approach
ing free trade. II proposes merely a
reconsideration of the tariff schedules
such as will adjust them TO tine actual
conditions and interests of the country"
Senator Ransdell, continuing, said:
"A cut of . per cent in the present
rates. as proposed by the Underwood
bill, making the duty on raw sugar
! cent a pound but eliminating the free
sugar clause, would more than comply
with Democratic platforms and prac-
ices since the party's birth. and be in
hne with the general rates Of the pend
tng BILL This would give our domestic
sugar industry Democratic square
deal, even according to the views of
the most straight laced interpreter of
the Baltimore platform. 1t Is as much
Of a reduction as the industry as a
whole can survive and more than
Louisiana can stand. II would permit
further growth and development of the
beet industry and be the best guaran-
tee of cheaper sugar to the ultimate
consumer because II would mean COM
petition. Detroy the domestic sugar
producing industry and the Sugar Re-
