NOT DUE TO TARIFF.
Rise in Price of Sugar Easily Ac-
 counted For.
Disorganization of the Industry In Eu- rope Responsible for Conditions High Protection Arguments Are
 FIagrantiy Dishonest.

Why is it that practically all high protection arguments are intellectu- ally dishonest? The latest illustra- tion is furnished by the sugar lobby.
 Whatever else the sugar lobby is, 1t is not "insid!ous;" 1t is fragrant. It works not in the dark of the moon but when that luminary Is at its full. It is now bombarding the cen ters of American opinion with morals drawn from the rise in sugar prices consequent upon the European war. We are told that if the protective tar if had been continued, and had been made adequate, we should soon be pro ducing sugar enough to supply our home market and should then be in dependendent of kaisers, czars, kings and all the rest of 'em.
 Let us see. Sugar has gone up in price. It has gone up because Euro pean buyers have entered the New York sugar market and bidden 1t up. ing on the situation. These European buyers have come to New York be- cause the European beet sugar indus try has been disorganized by war. And they would have SO come and so bid If every dollars worth of sugar in New York had been raised on our own boil
 We can never be prevented from i'm porting sugar by European war Nine ty-four per cent of our importations come from Cuba, just at our doors. But there Is no way, so long as natu- ral laws govern trade, in which a Flu ropean scarcity can be prevented from ref1ecting itself in American prices. That Is all that has happened now. We can get plenty of sugar. but we are compelled to pay more for 1t be- cause more people are bidding for 1t.
 Sugar prices are fixed by the world market and the question of the point of origin of the product does not af- feet them. And when the sugar lobby uses the present high price of sugar as an argumeAt for protective tar if it is either consciously dishonest in its methods or innocent of acquaint- ance with the elementary laws of trade. Taxing every breakfast table in the country for the benefit of the sugar magnates cannot prevent the reduction of the sugar supply abroad from raising prices at home as soon as the difference between prices in Europe and prices in New York be- comes great enough to bring their buyers to our market.

FOOD FACTS What An M. D. Learned.

A prominent Georgia physician went through food experience which he makes public.
 Tt was my own experience that first led me to advocate Grape-Nuts food and I also know. from having prescribed 1t to convalescents and other weak patients, that the food is a wonderful rebuilder and restorer of nerve and brain tissue, as well as mus cle. It improves the digestion and sick patients gain very rapidly. just as did in strength and weight.
 T was in such Q low state that had to give up my work entirely, and went to the mountains of this state, but two months there did not improve me; in fact, was not quite as well as when left home.
 "My food did not sustain me and 1t became plain that I must change. Then began to use Grape-Nuts food and in two weeks could walk a mile without fatigue, and in five weeks re- turned to my home and practice. tab ing up hard work again. Since that time have felt as well and strong as ever did in my life.

Someone has revived the question
 5 to whether big men or little men play the better baseball. The ques- ton is good deal like the one dis russed among players-whether nine Walter Johnsons could beat nine Ty Cobbs. But q is interesting. Here are teams t b suggests:
 Little team-O'Neill and Schalk, -catchers; Cicd Ee and Fisk, pitchers; McInnes, firstu base; Evers, second base; Maranville, shortstop; Maisel, third base; Leach, Milan and Ehler, outheld.
 Tall team-McLean, catcher; Main, Davenport and Falkenberg, pitchers; Knight, first base; Cutshaw or Black burn, second base; Mcbride, short stop; Moriarity, third base; Holman, Collins and Snodgrass, outfield.,
 Big team Meyers and Henry catch CTS; James, Reulbach, Hagerman and Vaughn, pitchers; J. Miller, first base; Lajoie, second base; Wagner, short stop; Zimmerman, third base; Old ring, Vincent Campbell and Hyatt, outfeld.
 One can pick little team that probably would win, tall team the same way, and the big team just as easily. Undoubtedly the style of ball players now runs to the strong, big

Blame This on Democrats.

More high prices are coming. From a New York contemporary we learn that "an advance in the prices of dia- monds, worldwide in its effect, is ex- pected in the near future by diamond dealers" It is all due to the wicked Democrats, our standpat friends will say, that these articles of everyday household necessity are going up in price, so that the average family can not afford to buy them as freely as in the good old Republican days. We'll, hardly. From the same authority comes the information that the up- ward prices will be due to artificial causes, the first being an agreement among the three largest diamond-pro- ducing companies in the world to cur tail their yearly output" As these three companies produce 9S per cent of the worlds total output of dia- monds, we will have to put up with their extortions until the G. o. F. is restored to power.

 Denver.-Forest officers on the na- tional forests in Wyoming will coop crate with the United States Weather Bureau during the coming winter by securing an accurate record of the depth and density of snowfall in the mountains. This data is sought by the Weather Bureau. it is said, for tho purpose of passing its forecasts on the probable amount of water available for irrigation throughout the state. 1t Is also of value to the forest service in its study of the climatic conditions throughout the various national forest regions of the West.
 According to local forestry officials. the general plan provides for the in- stallation and reading of snow scales located at elevations ranging from eight to eleven thousand feet and on representative sites in the different types of forest growth and drainage areas. Beginning the last of Novem- ber these scales will be read by for est rangers at the end of each month during the season of snowfall. It Is planned to place no less than twelve snow scales on each of the seven for ests in the state, covering the follow ing principal drainages: North Platte Green, Snake. Upper Yellowstone (tn- cluding the Big Horn and shoshone rivers), and the Lower Yellowstone Gall east of the Big Horn range.)

Euter Carranza.

' "Watchful waiting" has had it's re- ward. Huerta and his temporary sue cessor, Carbajal, have been elimin- ated, and Venustiano Carranza has en- tered Mexico City as provisional presi- dent. In his speech to the people of the capital General Carranza de- clared that a new era had been en- tered by Mexico. True to his convic-
 ions as leader of the constitutional ist movement, he said that it was his desire to help his people attain real self-government, such as has long been provided for by their constitution Car ranza Is now actually in control of Mexico. The remnants of federal troops-those which supported Huerta -are being mustered out. Constitu- tionalist regiments, under General Ob- regon, are about the capital. For the time being, the land insurrectiontst, Zapata, appears to have been recon ciled to the change. The only dis turbing possibility is Villa, who has gathered large army in the North, and whose attitude towards the new government Is not yet defined. Agents of Carranza, and certain Americans. are known to be conferring with Villa, and the expectation is that the threatened split will be avoided.

ROOSEVELT STAR IN ECLIPSE
People No Longer Have Confidence In the Leader of the Bull Moose
 Herds.

In New York MT. Roosevelt has re- pudiated MT. Hinman, and once more is astraddle the sadly emaciated Bull Moose. The attack of strabismus has passed. It was impossible to boss two political parties at the same time, even though one had nothing but a name and a few subordinate leaders left.
 Why is 1t that the importance of Roosevelt has become so incense quential? The roaring of the lion was of no interest to the sheep in Maine. They yawned or got no nearer than the war bulletins. Nobody seems to care who or what the great tribune of opportunism supports. The vocabu- lary of his excoriation is not exhaust ed. The old parties are still filled with bosses who must be driven out. There is not an ism that was capital ized in 1912 that is not just as good fly paper as ever. But the flies stay away. They will not be coaxed. I

Most Amerf- cans believe that Roosevelt in the White House would have meant war with Mexico, most of them are sure that were he president the danger of our becoming embroiled in the cata- cylsm abroad would be far greater than 1t is.

fellows, especially in the pitching line. Four out of every five pitchers in the major leagues now are close to six feet and 200 pounds. Styles have changed wonderfully. The managers are after men with the weight and strength to stand the wear and tear of season, or of dozen seasons, but the@little men are not barred.
 Look back over the lists: Anson, Delehanty, Comiskey, Williamson, were giants of men, Anson wanted huge fellows with driving power be- hind them. On the other hand, Hugh Duffy was at his greatest at 40 pounds, Willie Keeler weighed about 1855, McGraw was little man; Grif- fifth, Cunningham. Radbourne, Billy Sullivan, scores of great players, were small. *
 Tip O'Neill weighed 98 pounds when he was catching 200-pound pitchers, who took a five-foot run and hurled the ball at him from 50 feet. Rusie was of the fat, short-armed type, and so was Toad Ramsey. -Michels, Tacks Parrot, and Scissors Foutz were slim, lanky fellows
 So 1t doesn't seem to make much difference. It is the spirit in the man, rather than the size, that makes the ball player.

Profit In Refined Sugar.

Facts About Sugar Is a small monthly published in New York which seems to be genuinely what 1t says. Devoted to American Sugar Produc- tion"
 This little paper. for the month of August, says that the margin of the refiners since the new tariff law be- came operative March l, 1914, and which reduced the duty on raw sugar .33 cent pound, has averaged 81 cents a hundred pounds, while for a similar period previous to the reduc- ton of the tariff the average was 61 cents; at the same time producers of cane sugar in the United States have been receiving 2s cents hun dred pounds less for their crop since the reduction of the tariff. "Approxi- mately," says the writer, three fourths of this reduction has, gone di- rectly into the pockets of the little handful of sugar reflners."
 It Is asserted that this means a clear addition of 20 cents hundred pounds to the refiners, which, on the 5000, 100000 pounds consumed in the United States annually, would mean g profit of $1e.000.00o!
 From October. 1913. to March |, 1914. the maximum of the margin of the reflners was 88.9 cents per 100 pounds, which was in December, 1913, and the minimum, in February, 1914. was ATT. In the first month after the reduced tariff went into effect tho avera 1e margin was Q42 in AnriI 1t was 73.s, in May 70.9. in June 82.7. and in July 92.6; but since July, in the weeks of August that have passed, the profits of the ref1ners must have been much more
