Something About Sugar

third, Austria, France and Belgian
next in order. Cuba produces about
one-sixth of the total, the United
States less than one-sixth and all
other countries over one-quarter. We
send abroad over $100, 1000, 900 a year to
pay for imported sugar, when all this
imported sugar could be grown on
l, zoe, 900 acres in beets and cane.
To meet this bill of s100, 900, 900 we
must grow and sell wheat crop OF
over 100000 acres. In other words,
we are throwing away the products
OF approximately 100000 acres of land
by not growing our own sugar. II we
grew the sugar here in the United
States, we would have the sugar, the
500, 100000 and the products Of 5,400,0 900
acres of land. By not growing 1t here
we are out every year 800 600, 900. and
the products Of 5,400,0 600 acres of land.
As about five-twelfths OF the worlds
sugar output is produced in the war
ring countries Of Europe, our importa-
tions will be probably less, and
should the demand exceed the supply
the price will naturally soar, for the
refiners and retailers are human, and
In business for profit-something we
American citizens very often forget.

Ricsrte and the Jone. BIZ.

From the Washington Star.
Explanations OF the trouble in the
Philippines are offered from two an
giles. We are asked to believe on the
one hand that It has been prepared
as a contribution to the effort to
defeat the Jones bill now in the
Senate; that 1t is machine-made, go
TO say, and a maneuver Of the so
called imperialsts to lengthen the
5erfod of bondage for the little
brown brother
on the other hand, it is character
ICED as q result direct Of the Jones
bill on the turbulent portions of the
Filipino people, manipulated by pro-
fassional agitators there and from a
distance.
II is not difficult to believe that the
men, native and foreign, of large
property interests in the islands de-
ire, for the present at least, the
continuation of American control
But 1t Is not easy to believe that they
have cooked up a revolt at this
time to influence Congress. That is
4 pretty bold assumption. Hiring
braves to produce legislative results
IS, as a rule, a poor and ineffective
snvestment.
But there is something persuasive
in the suggestion that the Jones bill
has been speeding UP" the reckless
and impatient. 1t does not fully
meet their. desires. They would have
it fx an early day for the with
drawal of America from the islands;
and their leaders hope by creating a
furry now to influence sentiment in
Congress favorably to that end
It is miscalculation. There is
great unrest throughout the world,
and more men are in arms lighting
than ever before. Nevertheless, our
duty is plain. Wherever the flag flee
authority supports it; and authority
must be exercised Whether Ricarte
is an individual in his own right, or
4 mask for somebody else; whether
he is operating from Hongkong, or
from a hidden retreat in the arcfi-
pelago. IS capers should be noted

, santif1ed region, the "beer-arls'' per-
ambulates to distribute it's bottles of
forbidden cheer at the farmhouse
gates.
This is only a bare outline of what
might be written in elaboration Of
the proof that prohibition. 80 far
from helping sobriety, is, the subtle
enemy Of sobriety; and that those
who think they can end the evil of
drunkenness by stamping on it are
barking UP the wrong tree. Their
method of suppression might be all
| right If the people could only be
suppressed. But they won'ti And,
so, their ediflce rests on a false
! foundation.
They lose sight OF the fact that
such thing as a settlement of en-
tirely abstemious citizens is a, COM
munal impossibility. There is no
place on earth without its quota u
bibulants. II they can't get their
nip in. the open they'll have it on
the sly. The ingenuity with which
men will angle for the forbidden
wine. passes all understanding.
They'll manage to evade every law
designed to keep them away from
it or it away from them, however
harsh. and however scrutinous They
and it will get together somehow all
the time, in spite Of everything.
In its failure to recognize this basic
fact lies the weakness of prohibition
and its failure. The rum habit is an
evil that can neither be eradicated
nor trampled down in any commu-
nifty And the drinkers bring the
bars-everywhere The bar sneaks, If
1t dares not come, to every band Of
drinkers big enough to make it profit
able. As we have seen, 1t is irrepres-
sible. AS we cannot get rid of it,
there is nothing to do but to compel
it to be as decent as possible. To
let 1t run wild is only to give riot to
secret vice that would never be toll
Grated in the open. The most shame
less orgies are those the cover of the
hidden resorts conceal.
The manifest check upon their ex-
cesses is to force them to DO business
under the public eye and set the po-
lice to watch them. If the wayfarer
can see what Is going on in them
and they are subjected TO stern Off
cial scrutiny, their power for harm is
nlinimized. Who will say that the
miracle Of New Jersey. with her reg
ulated bars, is not hundred times
higher and cleaner than that Of
Maine with her outlaw prohibition
joints?
The argument for the system OF
regulation by license is unanswerable
II the temperance workers OF the
world would start their labors with
recognition of the inevitableness Of
the bar, and address themselves to
the task of regulating into decency
what their efforts to suppress are
forcing into indecency and outlawry,
they would do something really ser
viceable in the cause of temperance.
