FREE SUGAR AND WOOL WIN BIG
MAJORITY.

Washington, June 25.-Free sugar
and wool were retained in the Sim
mons Underwood tariff bill by the
senate democratic caucus today by a
vote of thirty-six to six and thirty
nine to seven respectively. Those
who voted against the adoption Of
the sugar schedule were: Senators
Hitchcock, Newlands, Ransdell,
Thornton, Shaffroth and Walsh.
Those opposing the adoption Of the
wool schedule were Senators Cham
berlain, Newlands, Ransdell, Shat
froth, Thompson and Walsh.
Several attempts were made to
amend the sugar schedule and one at
tempt was made to amend the wool
schedule. The first amendment was
offered on the sugar chedule by
Senator Thornton of Louisiana. 1t
provided for the continuation of the
Underwood duties on sugar with the
three-year clause stricken out. Only
Thornton and Ransdell, who is also
from Louisiana, voted for this amend
ment.
Kansan Offers Amendment.
An amendment to the sugar sched-
ule offered by Shaffroth of Colorado,
providing for the striking out OF the
three-year clause in the Underwood
sugar schedule and the substitution Of
fifty per cent duty based on the
Underwood rates received the sup
port of ten Democrats.
Those voting for this amendment
were: Hitchcock, Lane, Newlands
Ransdell, Shaffroth, Thompson,
Thornton, Tillman and Walsh.
A third amendment to the sugar
schedule was offered by Senator
Thompson of Kansas. This was a
modification of the Shaffroth amend
ment and providing for gradual re-
duction of duty on sugar after three
years until this commodity became
free. This amendment received the
votes of Senators Chamberlain, Flet-
cher, Hitchcock, Newlands, Shaffroth,
Thompson, Tillman and Walsh.
Only One for Wool Schedule.
The wool schedule amendment was
offered by Senator Walsh Of Mon
tana. Under its terms first class wool
would be made dutiable at an ad-
valorem of fifteen per cent, and wool,
used in the manufacture Of carpets
and clothing, would be put On the free
list. The senators supporting this
amendment were Chamberlain, New
lands, Ransdell, Shaffroth, Thompson,
Thornton and Walsh.
After sugar and wool had been dis
posed of, the caucus proceeded to
the consideration of manufactured
wool and agricultural schedule. In
the wool schedule angora goat hair
from which alpaca is made, was
placed upon the free list as recon-
mended by the majority Of the fl
nance committee. There was also a
brief discussion Of wheat and flour.
"The action of the caucus today"
said Senator Simmons, practically
means that the wool and sugar sched-
ule as originally written into the bill
will be enacted into law. 1t is certain
there will be no further deflectious
than already evidenced. This gives
us safe majority in the upper house.

Grafton and sympathy Of the Christian
church.
Legislation will not remedy the sit
uat!On," declared Professor Sodergren.
Neither will competition or socialism
Legislation is controlled entirely by
the money classes. Competition will
bring US straight back TO the condition
We are facing today. Socialism looks
al only one side Of the question and
is as dangerous as capitalism. What
We need is a change of mind as race
and as a generation and nothing viii
bring this about except Christianity.
ALWAYS on SIDE OF PEAEE.
THE church has been slow TO realize
its responsibility and duty. To some
extent # has opposed the movement TO
nmellorate conditions and establish
justice. This is due TO a large extent
because OF the fact that the church
has always been on the side Of peace
and peace too often means the con
t.nuance OF things just as they are
whether right or wrong. Again, the
church has always been on the side
Of law. whether those laws have beer
enacted for the many or the few. The
church has been o uthe side Of govern
ment, whether that government rep
resents the people as a whole or not
In pointing out the causes for tbs
social unrest in this country, Professor
Sodergren declared that the primary
cause is due 10 the unequal distribu
tion Of wealth While one per cent o
the people own 40 per cent of tht
wealth OF the nation. ne said. there
are at least 100000 who are in &C
