As to Free Sugar.

Editor Tensas Gazette,

MoLAssEsvILLE, La, Feb. 10, 1918.
Editor Tensas Gazette,
st. Joseph, La.
DEAR SIR-Having occasion to appre-
ciate the liberal and sound views of your
columns, l take the liberty to invade
them, and offer few remarks.
That some of our country newspapers
should ever shout free sugar." with no
other reasons than that of shouting, is
beyond my comprehension, from the:fact
that free sugar, in the past, has failed to
cheaper sugar to the real (retaiD con-
sumner.
have wondered why, every time it
became necessary for delegation of sugar
planters to go to Washington to present
views why the tariff should not be dis
turbed, that of the many positive reasons
advanced no mention is made of the
market that existed during the bounty
system. If my memory serves me right,
i recall "a cent market for open pan
sugar, and above cent for Vacuum Pan
yellows. Adding the bounty to this price,
sugar brought the planters a fraction
over cents. Does that not prove what
the planters could expect with free trade
sugar? With no bounty and no tariff,
the question answers itself, as to what
would happen to the planters.
Now back to bounty days. When the
planter sold his sugar for cents and re-
ceived cents from the government, who
bought that sugar?-the refneries! Let
US turn the files Of the market for stand
ard graduated, in those days, and see
the quotations. Did the consumer get the
benefit Of the two cents which were paid
the planterr-he did not! The only ben
efciary that can figure out is the big
rehner, sometimes nick-named the "Su-
gar Trust" The masses paid as much
for that breakfast table sugar" as they
do now. Sugar is one Of the necessities
OF life that has not contributed to the
high cost Of living; it has remained with
in the reach of all, steadily, and has gone
up in price accidentally, that is when the |
supply has been affected by the growing
seasons, q condition which overtakes all |
agricultural products occasionally.
Mr.. Milling's presentation of our cause
was one OF the most able that has ever
been presented to the Ways and Means;
still l imagine that reference to the price
OF SUGAR to the consumer, in the days of
free trade and bounty, would have served
to prove that sugar sold at retail at a
price nearly as at present; that the con-
sumner gained practically nothing; that
the buyer OF our 2 cent sugar had a
pudding" and Uncle Sam paid for the
cake. CONSUMER.

A FEW eOOu WORDS.

1t is not generally the desire or
wish OF the Gazette to intermeddle
In the political or business affairs
OF our sister State of Mississippi,
but knowing the gentleman so well,
and for 30 many years, and know
ing his capabilities as an active, en-
ergetic worker as an office man, we
cannot refrain from recommending
Mr.. Henry B. Gather, of Natchez,
for appointment of him as post
master of that city by President
elect Wilson, when he assumes the
duties Of the high Office, and comes
to make his appointments amongst
the Democrats to the varied offices
that will be necessary to be filled.
Mr.. Gather is, and has been
true and tried Democrat, and his
fitness for the appointment to the
Office for which he is candidate is
too well known for us to refer to
at any great length.
As an Office man, he has had
much experience in responsible ca
pacities; he is ever active, careful,
and obliging in the discharged of
all the duties that he has been called
upon 70 perform. For a number of
years he was the Tax Assessor and
Collector of the city of Natchez, and
discharged the exacting, arduous
and responsible duties of that office
in a most careful, painstaking man.
ner, and appeared to have given
full satisfaction to the taxpayers of
that city, whose properties he was
called upon to assess, and also to
the Board Of Mayor and Alder
men, by whom he was chosen, once,
and by the voters who gave him
another term.
The Gazette believes it can safely
say that the appointment of Mr..
Gather would give general satisfac-
ton, and in him Uncle Sam would
have a good, reliable, faithful and
painstaking public servant.

RAILROAD NOTES.

The Missouri Parifc-Iron Mountain |
has added another commissioner of Agri-
culture to its force. Heretofore Mr.. l.. X.
Markham with headquarters at Little
Rock, Ark, has been commissioner OF
agriculture for the system. He will re-
main commissioner of agriculture for the
Iron Mountain Lines and retain his
headquarters at Little Rock, but Mr..
George K. Andrews has been appointed
commissioner of agriculture with super
vision over the lines of the Missouri Pa
cifc proper. His headquarters will be in
St. Louis.
Mr.. Markham is one of the best known
experts in the country in his line and
was for several years in the employ of the
Department of Agriculture of the United
States Government.
Mr.. Andrews is man who has made
a very thorough study OF scientific farm
ing and agriculture for number of years.
His addition to the force of the Missouri
Pacific is in keeping with the policy OF
President B. F. Bush to help impro vel g-
ricultural conditions along the tracks of
the company by teaching the tillers of the
soil scientific methods of farming and
conserving moisture. With one man to
devote his entire. time to the Missouri
Pacific lines and the other combining him.
self to the territory traversed by the Iron
Mountain tracks, President Bush hopes
to obtain most excellent results in teach
ing the farmers how to make their lands
more productive and lucrative. The
railroad company will, of course, eventu-
ally derive its benefit from increased ton
mage brought about by the larger crops.
The American Refrigerator Transit
Company with the approval of its presi-
dent, Mr.. B. F. Bush, the president of
the Missouri Pacific-Iron Mountain, has
Just placed an order for 1000 cars with
the American Car & Foundry Company
of st. Louis. These cars, which are to
to be delivered in the spring, will have
steel under frames and every improve
ment known in the line of refrigerator

ed by the large increase in perishable
goods on the Gould Lines. This order
just given, in conjunction with the con-
tracts for new cars let in 1911 and 1912
alter Mr.. Bush came to the Missouri Pa
cific, means an increase in the equip
ment OF the American Refrigerator Tran
sit Company of l57 per cent in the last
two years.

Baldwin's game is that of the peni-

So he asked Baldwin's permission
to do this and the Missionary re-

Gilmartin needed underwear. He
asked Baldwin to give him the money
that he might buy some. Baldwin
went out and bought him a suit.
Later on he gave Gilmartin 81. This
was all the paroled man ever saw of
his $3.50.
This condition of bondage lasted
for three weeks. And during that
time Gilmartin often wished he was

Finally the mans spirit rebelled.
He took a desperate chance. He
went out of the Mission one day and
did not return. The next day he be-

hard. He wasn't very successful He
searched for three days. And he has
applications on file at several big

He went back into the Mission
and pleaded for his money, that he
might live until he could get work.
Baldwin scolded him.

Then Gilmartin went out of the

Cement That Lasts.

In the making of cement modern in

the ancients. An exchange, comment
ing on a recent demolition by soil

wall at Caerwent, in England, says
that this is about the only way in
which the Roman walls can meet a
natural collapse, for practically they
are otherwise absolutely enduring.
There are several hundred miles of

THE secret of their permanence is the

when some part of such wall as that

were built with stone and tile from
