BREWSTER ADAMS
His Lecture on "How the Other
Half of the World Lives" At
tended by a Slim Audi
ence.

Brewster Adams. of Reno, de-
livered his splendid lecture, How
the Other Half of the World Lives"
to heart-breaking audience in
the Presbyterian Church Monday
night. We say Misunderstanding"
because it is enough to break any
mans heart TO be compelled to de-
liver lecture like that to empty
benches. There were about twenty
people in the audience. The Speak
er made no attempt at oratory but
delivered his address in pleasing
narrative style, which was full to
the brim with brilliant dashes of
wit. wisdom, humor and pathos.
1t was splendid lecture and it's
delivery to so small an audience
seemed almost to be a public
calamity. Elko is not a good lecture
town.. what passes as culture here
would scarcely pass muster any
where else in the United States. A
negro minstrel show, a Sunday
Circus or comic Opera will draw
crowded houses but lecture, no
matter how brilliant and renowned
the speaker or how absorbing the
theme, is likely to play to empty
benches We do not wish to be un-
derstood to infer that there is no
culture in Elko. There is an abund-
anee of it. Many talented and
cultured ladies' and gentlemen
abide in our midst, but the bent
of the mind appears to be CONNER
cial and social rather than intellec-
tual. Mentality gives way to the
commercial instinct. In the intel
lectual game every one seems to be
playing a. lone hand. There is a
kind of Goldfish aristocracy every
where, which is not an unknown
quality here. Differences in creed
sometimes stan1 as barrier to
progress and are a menace to hu-
man happiness. Personal animosi.
ties and religious strife should
have no standing among christian
men and women. To forgive is
divine. To detes. and to damn is a
trait of Satan. We realize that
some of our readers will burn
with indignation" at these COM
ments. We want to arouse lively
interest among our people in a get
together sentiment and make us
see ourselves as others see us. We
want to take stock and see where
we are standing. Some of us may
discover that we are acting from
selfish, rather than humanitarian
motives Some of us may learn
that the lessons Christ taught on
the Mount are radically different
from the ethics of alleged Christ
ianity that is sometimes promulgat-
ed today. Let us get down out
of the clouds and forget all the
creed we ever knew and bury our
selfishness and petty meanness
in the gulf of oblivion and strive
to make the world better and
happier thus proving our right to
the pursuit of life. liberty and
happiness which we are willing to
concede to others.

Washington. June l9.- Why free
sugar? Why has ell the bitterness
of the tar iff battle settled upon
this single commodity, which is
one of the cheapest of all foods and
which at casual glance does not
seem to rank high among the i'm
portant food products
The Louisiana cane sugar pro-
ducers clain that free sugar will
wipe out their industry which they |
claim represents an investment of |
Sl2O,OO0,UOO.
Yet the administration is going |
through with its free sugar tariff |
bill needless of the cries of the
rich and powerful sugar interests. |
The beet sugar producers of the
United States have an investment
of about SCI 100000 according TO
the report Of the Hardwick COM
mittee which investigated the
American sugar industry last year.
The beet interests are claiming
irreparable damage to be caused
by free sugar. Both in Hawaii and
Porto Rico there are huge invest
ments in sugar production.
The Hawaiins the Porto Ricans.
the domestic beet sugar producers
D and the Louisiana interests are
: maintaining in Washington the
tariff lobby against whose insid-
uou5 activities President Woodrow
Wilson recently so justly com
planned. These lobbyists contend
that free sugar means ruin for the
American sugar industry. And
yet the Democratic tariff makers
are not halted. Why?
There is basic principle under
lying the Democratic determination
to remove the tax from sugar. The
ordinary man does not understand
the question at all clearly. The
sugar question has seldom been
plainly stated to the average citi-
zen. Yet, when the conditions un-
der which sugar is now produced
are clearly understood, the free
sugar principle becomes as simple
as it is just.
1t then becomes astonishing that
this country ever taxed sugar. To
protect this product is the very
opposite of common business judg-
ment.
shall, therefore in two articles
to follow explain the Democratic
free sugar argument and the effect
free sugar may be expected to
have on the different phases Of the
industy in this country. In the
first place, what of the Importance
of sugar 9s food?
In recent bulletin issued by the
Department of Agriculture, sugar
is given a place among the three
or four most important food stuffs,
following after meat and bread.
In the human diet it is the great
energy producer. And so it is the
great food of the workingman.
Experiments have shown that while
large quantities of sugar gives dis
pepsia to idlers and indoor work.
