It is quite obvious why the Federal
Sugar Refining 20. wants free raw
sugar--it desires to. put the native beet
sugar industry out of business 30 that
it may get foreign raws without duty
and occupy along with the refining
trust the refined sugar markets Of the
country. Its witness before the ways
and means committee recently met in
Rep. Fordney courageous and able
defender of the sugar beet raisers
and beet sugar manufacturers--a two
fold industry which is one Of Michi.
gan's best assets, and sources Of pros
perity. If the next congress removes
the duty on raws it will strike heavy
blow that will undoubtedly be severely
felt in this state and especially In the
Saginaw valley. Mr.. Fordney can be
expected to fight against this impend-
ing disaster, with all the power that he
possesses. Saginaw Courier. HERALD.

Watch Repre- sentative Mcbride.

The Tradesman has had it's attention
called to the fact that j. N. Mcbride
of Owosso, has introduced bill in the
House of Representatives at Lansing
which provides that all persons board
ing trains must purchase tickets and,
If they fail to do 80, they must pay 10
cents additional as a penalty. This &C.
tion on the part of Representative Nc.
Bride will stand Watching, because he
is evidently in the legislature for pur-
pose. The travelling public prefer to
buy tickets where the tickets can be
obtained without too much sacrifice of
time and trouble. 1t is not possible,
for instance, for everyone leaving
Grand Rapids on the Monday morning
trains to purchase tickets. If they
waited long enough to procure tickets
they would be left behind to go on the
next trains. The same Is true in many
country towns. Three weeks ago the
editor of the Tradesman was in Kala-
mazoo and undertook to purchase a
ticket from the night man at the depot
to take train leaving at 5:25 1t was
impossible to awaken him In many Of
the depOts in the small towns the agents
do not put up the window until the
train Whistles On account of the dis
parity of time or an accident to con.
veyance or unavoidable delays, passen-
gers frequently reach the depots just as
the trains are pulling out. In such
cases it is an unnecessary hardship to
insist on their paying the extra amount.
II Representative Mcbride wants to
stand Well in the eyes OF the people, he
will recall bis iniquitious bill or for.
ever after consent to be regarded as the
servile tool of the railroad companies.
Michigan Tradesman.
We are of the opinion that the Trades
man wrongly interprets the motives Of
Rep. Mcbride. That there is the strong
est kind of opposition to the passage Of
the bill, however, is shown by the ex-
pressions heard daily on every side. A
representative farmer inquired the first
of this week who it was that introduced
such bill and before reply couli be
made said that whoever IL was need
never expect any support in his com.
munity in the future.

Michigan and Free Sugar.

From the Detroit Journal.
The aim of the Democrats in congress
is to revise the tariff with view OF
reducing the cost of living, and inter.
ested parties are trying to show that
the price Of sugar. one of the staples OF
the household, would be reduced con
siderably by taking off the duty. The
first result would be to wipe out great
and growing industry, convert its plant
into 80 much junk aud compel the farm
era who have been growing sugar beets
to 60 into some other kind Of farming
that probably would not pay nearly as
well.
What would be the next step when
the cane sugar people had monopoly
OF the market2 1t would be too much
to expect Of human nature that they
should not take immediate advantage
of the opportunity to raise the prices.
They would be as independent as the
oil trust. The people would be obliged
TO pay whatever they chose to ask
This is what the sugar people have
done in the past at every opportunity.
and they are likely to continue to do
until the end.
4 Thus movement that was started
with the ayowed intention Of lowering
The. cost of living is likely, IL carried
.through, to very materially increase
that cost for the benefit Of sugar man
ipulators in New York. The injury
that Michigan would suffer by the wip.
ing out OF the beet sugar industry
would be trfling compared with what
1t would cost the people Of the United
states IN the increased cost Of sugar.

DOCTORS MEET IN SEVENTH
SEMI-ANNUAL SESSION.

Large attendance coming from West
Tennessee and West Kentucky Points.
Special to the Globe.
Union City, Tenn, April 1.-THE
seventeenth semi-annual session of the
West Tennessee and West Kentucky
Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical
Society held a two-days' session in this
city this week. The meeting was well
attended and deep interest was mani
tested by each participant. Several
able papers were read, among them be-
ing the one by DR.. Ralney, OF McKen-
zie, on How to Minimize the Suffer
ings of Women" The discourse was
ably rendered by DR.. Rainey and re-
ceived favorable comment by the men,
bers Of the society.
Dr. e. d. Walker is president and
has labored earnestly to make the
society benefit to its members. DR..
Bryant Brown is another one of the
moving spirits in the society. The
people had an opportunity at this
meeting to learn something of the
struggles of the physician and it is
evident that a better understanding
was had between the people and the
doctor. 1t is believed, from what
could be learned, that the patronage
of colored people to the colored physi-
clans will be improved in the future,
since the people have had an oppor-
tunity to come in contact with the ply
Sicians and learn their attitude toward
the people and the uplift of the race.

KNOWLES SCHOOL ALLIANCE
WANTS PURE WATER FOR
THE CHILDREN.

Knowles School Alliance held a
meeting in the Knowles School build
ing Friday night of last week at which
steps were taken to get better water
for the children. 1t will be supris-
ing to many to know that the children
in that school are compelled to drink
water out of an old cistern that has
been declared by the city Health De-
partment to be impure. This fact
has aroused the patrons of the school
to take up the matter with the school
authorities and endeavor to remedy
the evil.
At the meeting Friday night several
parents said they would rather pay
to have city water put in the school
yards than to have their children
drink the impure water. A commit
tee was appointed to take up the mat
ter and ask the privilege Of having a
water pipe run in the school in order
that the children might have better
water. Several expressed a willing
ness to donate to a subscription for
that purpose.
