But as the play was set, it was punk.
Manager EVers plainly showed his
disgust.

There is another glaring fault in
the Cub attack, one which has jabbed
itself above the surface several times
lately. It is inability to bunt, or fail
ure to try bunt, when a sacrifice is
the obvious play. This is another de-

The same play occurred Tuesday,
when with men on first and second

Fortunately, Phelan came through

WAGES AND PRICES.
Sugar Beet Farmers and Workers Get
Much Hiqher Rates Here.

The difference between the condi-
tons under which beet sugar is pro-
duced In the United States and Eu-
rope is strikingly shown by a report
Just published as a United States sem
ate document. Summarizing lit re-
ports from various European countries.
this document shows that IS cents a
day was the highest rate earned by
men working in the European beet
fields, while 46 cents was the average
rate. In all the European countries,
however, the greater part OF the feld
labor is done by women and children
at wages ranging from 10 cents a day
day for women In Denmark. To these
poor laborers the $3.50 a day, which
represents the average earnings Of field
workers in the United States, must ap.
pear a princely income.
Among the factory workers engaged
in beet sugar production the difference
is equally striking. The men working
In the factories of the great European
sugar making countries, France and
Germany, receive an average daily
wage of 81 cents, according to official
figures published by their own govern
ments. The average American wage
for employees in the beet sugar fac
tories, $2.99 a day, is more than three
times as great.
Likewise the farmers who grow the
beets In Europe receive only 81 to $3.50
a ton for their crops, although they
pay four to five times as much rent for
their land as the American farmer
does.
While these figures serve to show
why 1t is that Europe can produce
sugar cheaper than the United States
and why the present tariff on foreign
sugar is necessary to enable American
factories to continue these high rates,
it is an interesting fact that the only
important country Of Europe where
the people are able to buy sugar
cheaper than in the United States Is
England. Even in England the price
paid for the sugar most generally used
is as high as the prices paid here. Or
the whole the lot of an American sugar
beet grower or worker must be con
sidered far preferable to that Of his
European competitor.

Communicated

\ great deal has been said and
written about the trouble on the
Indian Reservation with S. A. Sclec-
one Of the teachers at BrowA-
ing. but all the articles written have
been of a one-sided nature and
tended to show that Selecman had
been misused, and hal the action
taken against him was unjust. 1t
now appears that he was III the
wrong, as he was called upon by
the Commissioner of Indian Al
fairs to admit the wrong he had
done and to apologize, a copy OF
said apology to lie filed with the
school board, Que copy with the
Superintendent and the original to
be forwarded to the Commissioner.
In compliance with the instructions
from the commissioner, and in oder
to hold his job and be permitted to
stay here Selecman did apologize
and tell the Commissioner that he is
sorry for what he did. This certain
ly shows that the people VIII have
read the articles written aud pub
lished have not gotten the whole
truth.
Although the papers have spoken
of Professor Selecman, Principal"
yet there has never been a princi-
pal at the Browning Day school.
The Government pays one teacher
and the County pays one, and Selec-
man is simply one of the teaching
force. Since the trouble the school
has dwindled down to a very small
enrolment and there are no white
children attending school.
Selecman and his friends forced
the school board to resign, and since
then there has not been a legal
board organized. A board com
posed of two men who are not citiz-
ems nor voters but wards of the
United States Government was
selected and have drawn warrants
to pay the salary of %Selecman, but
if the law means anything it would
appear that the warrants signed by
an illegal hoard would be worthless,
and people should be careful about
taking chances in cashiug such war;
rants.
This matter has heen brought to
the attention of the County Super.
intendent and it is not believed that
this official will approve the action
of an illegal board of trustees, nor
will she sanction any violation of
the school laws.

HOW TO GET CHEAP SUGAR.
Beet Growing Will Result In Big Saw.
ing to Consumers.

'"S ~
Mr.. W. P. Willett, who is recognized
as the greatest statistical expert on
sugar in the country, is authority for
the statement that the competition Of
the domestic beet product lowered
wholesale sugar prices an average of
half a cent a pound during 1912. More
over, he estimates that instead of being
off the market by the first of the year,
as is usually the case, 60 per cent Of
the entire beet sugar crop was carried
over into the present year and that it
will exercise an influence in the direc.
ton of lower prices throughout 1913.
1t Is a familiar phenomenon in the
sugar trade that wholesale prices go
down every year when beet sugar
comes upon the market and that prices
go up again as soon as the beet sugar
is disposed Of and the big seaboard re-
iners of imported sugar r again in
control Of the situation.
During the Hardwick committees in
vestigation of the sugar industry the
examination of Mr.. Willett as to the
best means of insuring a permanent
supply OF cheap sugar for the Ameri-
can consumer brought from him the
admission that the only way to accom-
plish this was to encourage the beet
sugar industry to develop as rapidly as
possible.

rehners have nothing to fear from for
eign competition. In addition to the
millions which they have piled up dur
ing a long period Of profitable opera
ton, the friendly understanding that
exists among them and the firm grip
which they have on the American mar
ket, aside from the competition afford
ed by the domestic beet sugar indus
try, they would still enjoy advantages
over foreign rehners in purchasing sup
plies from Cuba were duties removed
entirely. The growth Of sugar beet
growing and beet sugar manufacture
is the only factor in the situation that
they cannot control. and with the re-
aliZation that the farmers Of Mon
tana or a number of other states
could easily produce all the sugar
required by the American people they
are bending every energy to induce
congress to assume the responsibility
of crushing out this dangerous rival
and restoring them ono more to a po-
sition of complete domination over the
sugar supply Of the American people.
Following the year 1891, when raw
sugar was made duty free, the sugar
trust increased its dividends from 4
per cent to 21A per cent and In the
next seven years not only paid out
S4S. O0,o00 In dividends, but also ac-
cumulated a surplus Of $50,000,000.

the local bankers, county assessors and
postmasters where each Of these sugar

Competition Lowers Prices.

Excepting domestic beet sugar, prac-
tically all sugar consumed by the Amer
lean people is purchased as raw sugar
by the foul seaboard refining concerns,
which fix the price consumers must pay
for their refined product. All domestic
beet sugar leaves the factory ready for
the table and enters into direct competi-
ton with the product Of the refiners Of
foreign raw sugar. During the three
to FIVE months in which domestic beet
sugar Is marketed the competition it
creates compels the refiners to reduce
their prices or withdraw from the mar
ket. If there were no domestic beet
sugar the price Of sugar would be
higher during three to FIVE months of
each year, and IL more beet sugar were
produced the price Of sugar would be
lower. throughout the year. - Senate
