Weather Conditions

Birmingham, May 25.-G p. mo-
A barometric low pressure area covers
the Texas Panhandle, western Kansas
and Oklahoma This connects by mar
row depression with another low over
the Saskatchewan valley. Between the
two centers a general light rain fell
over most of the Missouri valley. \
remnant of the low that moved north
eastward from the gulf region a few
days ago is to be found along the
north Atlantic slope. 1t continued TO
cause rain over the lower lakes, st.
Lawrence valley and western New Eng
land during the past "a hours.
Under the influence of generally high
pressure throughout most of the great
central basin, with the centers of high
pressure in the upper lakes and the
western gulf region, fair weather has
been experienced in all southern states
and the upper lake region during the
past "a hours. The only exception was
Miami, Fla. where a heavy rain fell
Saturday night. 1t was fair there Sun
day night.
Temperatures are rising in the south,
although it continues cool for the sea-
son in the north. In spite of the rise.
however, the average temperature in
Birmingham today was about 10 de-
grees below the normal.
A steady temperature rise is antici-
pated in Alabama during the next two
days, and while the pressure will con-
tinue to fall, probably bringing cloudy
weather to considerable of the western
cotton states, as yet no rain is indl-
Gated for Alabama within the next two
days.

Women in War on Bareheads.

Aurora women, it is understood, are
joining the movement looking to the
abolition of the custom of going out
doors without hats.
The movement was started some
time ago and has been pushed vigor-
ously in many parts of the country. 1t
is only recently that it was taken
up in earnest.
"Going without hats" said one of
the Aurora women to-day who believe
in wearing hats, "is not only unbe-
coming but also uncomfortable and
injurious to the scalp.
"The woman who wears a hat, no
matter how little she pays for 1t, is
now considered in far better state
than the woman who goes barehead-
ed. The hats r of such shape that
they may be worn without inconven-
fence and indeed with greater COM
fort than when n does not wear a
head covering.
"Going without hats leads to all
sorts Of physical ailments. Colds are
easily taken because the average wo-
man who goes without a hat wears
one once in a while. Covering the
head one minute and leaving it bare
the next, no matter what change
there may be in the temperature, can
not fail to produce trouble.
"If one could take a magnifying
glass and see the germs blown up and
down the street in the air one would
hesitate before going without a head
covering. But these germs are there
just the same and are continually fall
ing upon the scalp. This brings scalp
diseases or causes too much washing

justification for cane sugar produc

justification for cane sugar produc-
ton in the United States.
1t is possible to grow bananas and
tea in New England in hot houses.
Yet not even the m ost rabid protec-
Zionist would advocate a %prohibitive
duty on bananas or tea, raising the
prices of these foods ten times above
what they are now, in order that tea
and bananas might be produced with
profit in hot houses in New England.
Ina somewhat smaller degree cane
sugar growing is ahot-house industry.
The sugar in cane is called sucrose
by chemists. Louisiana cane is only
six to seven per cent. sucrose, while
Cuban cane is II to II per cent. and
Hawaiian from IA to Is per cent.
sucrose-or over twice as much sugar
in the same amount of cane.
In Cuba sugar zane grows naturally,
and is planted one every 10 years.
In Louisiana the cane must be re-
planted every year. There is never
frost in Cuba; In Louisiana the cane
must be cut in October before matur-
ity to escape frost, thus accounting
for the lower sucrose content. Louisi-
ana sugar mills are Anticipated; while
some of the Cuban factories are the
latest and most efficient in the world.
And so, though Louisiana wages are
much lower than those paid in Cuba,
it costs nearly four cents to produce a
pound of raw sugar in Louisiana,
against a Cuban cost of two cents.
Representive T. w. Hardwick, of
Georgia, the great sugar expert of the
House ,',said:
SIN order to produce a cane sugar
crop valued at $25 900, 900, our Louisi-
ana friends insist that we ought to
continue a system of taxation that
costs the American people SAC, 000,-
600 in the increased price of sugar. 1t
is undemocratic; it is unfair; it is un-
righteous; and, so far as I am CON
cerned, I will never stand for a con-
tinuance of this policy to keep duty
on this great necessity of life which
cannot possibly be reproduced in Louisi-
ana one-half as cheaply as it can in
the balance of the world"

IT would be amusing, if it were not

They want the manufacturer protect

to compete with the American work
man. The protected operators in
wool, cotton, steel, sugar, etc., have
become multi -millionaires by being
enabled to fleece the American con-
sumner, while at the same time they
have been selling their products, in
many instances, to the people of the
so-called "pauper labor" countries, in
competition with the whole world.
Yet these interests will wither and
die, like roses exposed to a desert
sun, unless the government guarantees
them a profit! Could damphoolish-

Washington Correspondence.
BY Y H. TAvENNER.

WASHINGTON, June 21.-Compare
the total investment in the American
industry with the amount the duty on
sugar costs the American people an
nually, and we pick up the clue x
planning why, despite the presence of
the sugar Hobbies in Washington, the
2-cent tariff tax is to be removed from
sugar.
Exclusive of land and farm animals
(Which can be used in other farming
operation) the investment in sugar in
the United States is about 800 ,000, 900.
For the benefit of the few men owning
this industry, the American people
are taxed annually in the increased
price of sugar $140, 900 900, or $4,000
600 more than the total sugar invest
ment. 1t is also $40, 600, 900 more than
the total annual value of the American
sugar crop including its by-products.
To the individual this tax amounts
to $3.50 or an annual charge of $3.50
on a family of average size.
Since 1897 the protection to the
sugar industry has cost American
consumers two thousand million dol
lars. But if the public got value re-
ceived for this sum-in revenue to de-
fray the cost of government-there
would not be so much complaint. But
the actual duty collected in 16 years
has been only $500, 900 900. The bal
ance, 81, 200, 900 900, has been a bonus
pure and simple wrung from the poor
to create q new group of American
millionaires.
Leaving aside the principle that
sugar as a prime food necessity should
come untaxed to the American public,
the production of cane sugar in this
country is an artificial, unnatural in
dustry. There are two types of sugar
production-from sugar beets, grown
in many sections, and from cane grown
along the gulf coast Of Louisiana and
Texas. 1t is possible, indeed, prob
able, that beet sugar production has
now progressed to q point where II
can be called q natural industry. If go,
II does not need protection in order
to survive. But there is no natural
