SUGAR CHIEF ISSUE
'CohHhued from First Page)

have become important farm products.
The Democrats control the senate by
margin of six. There is one Re-
publican-Poindexter of Washington
who Will vote in favor of free
sugar.
Senators See President.
Present senators of the Southern
States producing sugar saw President
Wilson today and suggested the United
states follow the Canadian plan of
taxing the raw products two cents a
pound with the stipulation that every
producer who raised a pound of sugar
shall have the privilege OF importing
one pound free.
The president complained that this
plan would be unfair to the refiners.
He already has mappea out a plan
Of action in the event that he is I'M
able TO reach satisfactory agreement in
regard to the sugar schedules. He
will urge the ways and means com
mittee TO introduce the free raw
wool and sugar sections and separate
bills and to embody the rest of the
tariff program in which there seems
TO be agreement in a single measure
This course will avoid jeopardizing
the entire revision plan on account
OF the fight over two schedules

THE AUTOMATIC TELEPHONE.

THE AUTOMATIC TELEPHONE.
For . good many years the Chicago
public had ample opportunity to oh.
serve what telephone monopoly meant
In the way Of service.
The rates had been raised several
times-and threats OF another raise
were being made. There was talk OF
ab0lishiug certain forms Of residence
service. The public was treated with
scant courtesy. There were intermin.
able delays In changing old phones
and installing new ones.
Then came the automatic telephone,
bringing with 1t the much needed
spur Of competition.
What happened?
Immediately the utmost efforts to
improve the manual service were
made.
But It is a cold. hard fact that these
efforts have been to large degree
unsuccessful. It 10 simply physical
impossibility to make manual service
come anywhere near the remarkable
efficiency Of the automatic.

There are no bitches. no delays, no

and doubled again until over 100000
calls per day are being handled.
And al this In the face Of one Of
the most powerful monopolies the

passers-persons who were on the tracks in violation of strict rules.
 In one year 997, ,409, 1882 passengers were carried on railroads in the United States. Of this number of passengers only SIS were killed in wrecks or other accidents caused through no fault of their own In other words, only one passenger out of every 3.136,509 was killed in a railroad accident.
 By far the greatest number of per sons killed were trespassers. A total of 6,632 persons neither passengers nor employees were killed last year.
 The remainder of the death roll is made up from the ranks of the em- p1oyees on trains-brakemen, switch men, engineers, conductors and others whose lives are devoted to making travel by rail in America rapid, safe and comfortable. Of the employees on

He remern- bers that chief executives of his Amer ican cities take the oath of office with no uniforms in sight except those serv- iceable blue garments worn by police men who may be on hand to preserve order in case a, crowd collects He re- members that even an inauguration at Washington, an event that takes place only once in four years, is remarkable more for the crowds than for any dis play of fnery and that the principal figures in the affair wear modest black frock suits.
 Take similar event in England and there will be more red tape. gilt braid, cloth of gold, ermine. lace rufHes and what not than could be found in an American state if theatrical ware houses and stage costumers' establish ments are not visited. Every person who takes part in the ceremony will have something to indicate his posi- ton and rank some mark that sets him apart from his fellows. The whole affair will look much like a fancy dress ball or a masquerade with the masks removed.
 Typical of the English adherence to custom and the love of hnery charac- teristic of the British are the Yeomen of the Guard, col1oquiaIly and fondly known as the Beefeaters. This organ tzation dates back to 1485, when King Henry VII organized the corps Wh1ch has been in continuous existence part of the royal household They serve as the bodyguard of the soY- ereign on state occasions, and they of fer an interesting contrast to the three or four secret service men in business suits who accompany the president of the United States and watch over him during his public appearances-when he doesn't try to evade them, as some presidents have managed to do.
 The Yeomen of the Guard wear the same uniforms that were designed for them more than four centuries ago. The tower warders. familiar to tour ists in London. wear uniforms similar to the Yeonaen of the Guard, and also carry the long handled cutting weap- ons, which would be far from effective against the modern magazine pistol. But weapons do not have to be effective or deadly to be used for show and ceremony. Utility has no place in the scheme that includes gorgeous spec tacles and imposing ceremony as es- sentfaI to the proper doing of things.
 These brilliant uniforms serve a pur- pose in keeping affairs in statu quo. They remind the onIooker that what is being done is regular and systena- tic; that it is being done the way it has always been done and in due and orderly process. The gold braid and other accoutrements are the ernblerns of authority, the symbols of precedent and power. Their impressiveness im- presses and are thereby impressive.
