SUGAR ConsumnhInn.

The consumption of sugar Is con-
stantly increasing in the United States
and for the year 1913 reached practical
~ 3.150,OO0 long tons against about g.
500, 900 the year before. All the world
seems now to be approaching more and
moro the nutritive value of sugar as a
food stuff, and h consumption is
constantly increasing, and the increase
is rated at over 4 per cent per annum.
The average difference between the
price of 96 test ray sugar and fine
white graduated, was 0.772 cents a
pound against 1873 cents a pound in
1912, and o.9s2 cents a pound in 1911.
OF this total, 2,75o,0 0 tons Of con-
sumption in round terms. 1000, 900 tons
came from Cuba, 500, 900 tons from
Hawaii, 3T5,000 tons from Porto Rico.
and the Philippines; 20S,000 tons OF
domestic cane sugar. 625. 900 of domes-
tic beet sugar, 5000 tons of maple
sugar. and 10000 tons made from inn
ported molasses. Practically all Of this
sugar was refined, although the domes-
tic beet sugar is made pure white in
n continuous process from the beets
to the finished white sugar. The great
~refineries handled all of this immense
amount, and seemed quite willing to
give their respective quota. The Ameri-
can Sugar Refining company refined
1,334,000 tons, or 1927 per cent, and 9TH
er refineries, 1,750,0o tons, or 46 per
cent.
These date show the enormous i'm
portance of the sugar industry to the
United States, and in 1t all Cuba stands
at the dominant factor. Cuba's possible
lities of sugar production are simply
immense, and promise a steady ain
crease.

KING ALFONSO ENJOYS
ARREST FOR SPEEDING

Paris. Special: A powerful automo-
pile recently was being piloted through
Ihe picturesque old town of Bayonne
In the south of France by a young man
with a large nose n protuberant un-
Ger lip. "A jealous policeman pulled
up the machine, got out his note book
and proceeded to take particulars with
a view to the usual citation before the
police judge for exceeding the speed
limit.
Name please" demanded Policeman
Pelourgeat, pointing a threatening PEN
Gil at h smiling automobilist.

"That's not a name. Answer prop
erly. Alfonso who? Alfonso what?"
"Alfonso-King, If you Ike"
S your name is Alfonso King?"
Meanwhile "a large and delighted
crowd had collected anu began to
cheer. Finally someone enlightened the
worthy policeman, who turned crimson
with modification.
No one enjoyed the Joke more than
Alfonso. With a broad grin he held
out his hand and shook the policeman
warmly.
..Adios, AlguaziI," he said, as he
pressed his foot on his electric starter.
In q few minutes the automobile was q
speck on the Sal Sebastian road.
Since then Policeman Pelourgeat is
celebrated in Bayonne as the mai who
arrested the king"

Tho False God Thrift.
rom the wichita Beacon.

From the Wichita Beacon.
The other day a wreck of a man was
picked up in a 10-cent lodging house in a
large city and taken to a hospital. Later
IT was found that he was rich; that he
had nearly $4,000 In bills on his person and
$4,000 In banks.
A mtser2 He would nave resented that
name. but of course that was what he was.
He had scrimped and saved so desperately
in his younger days that later on, when
he had enough to make him comfortable,
he couldn't use it.
He had gone crazy worshiping the false
god thrift.
Once we knew a huckster woman who
Got up at 2 O'clock in the morning, loaded
a wagon with vegetables from her truck
farm and herself peddled until@:n the
afternoon. Then she returned to the farm
and worked until dark.
Her property was worth at least 500, 900
and she had an income five times as large
as that of the average preacher. There
was no need at all for her to toll so ex-
cessively. But she had formed the habit
and couldn't stop.
In her fanatical worship of thrift she
had gone money-mad.
Save your pennies is almost a holy
maxim.
Almost but not quite.
Isn't a better one to save your capacity
for enjoying sanely the joys of life to
which humanity is by nature entitled?"

Theory vs.. Achievement.

From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
1t Is not surprising that some learned
g~eographers of London have greeted
the announcement of Colonel Roose-
velt's discovery of a Brazilian river
with skepticism, mingled with a us
plclous mount of ridicule. There Is
widen malice in some of their COM
ment, compelling the inference hat
they recall the colonePs severity on al
legged nature takers. They insist that
the unknown stream brought to pub
lefty by the colonel must cross many
other charted streams and that 1t must
run up hill if it follows the course de-
scrlbed in the explorers preliminary
statement. In proof of their conten-
tons they point to maps which have
long been accepted as authoritative.
l5elng expert ~seographers they resent
an invasion of their domain by the
great specialist on things in general,
things past, things present and things
TO come. Too much of professional
hostility appears in their structures.
Ihey would be more effective if they
assumed a p%retence of an open mind
and We're more mildly skeptical.
But the colonel will accept the cbal-
ienge. What he will do to the armchair
~ographe Will be a plenty. He will
doubtless refer to some of the author

that hovered about the jumping off

depend on a few unstable Eskimos for
~verlIlcat1on of his story. He had a
goodly company of civilized being and
they doubtless kept accurate records.
He Will show that the English maps are
worthless, representing the guesses of

STILL NOT CERTAIN
OF MENEuK'S DEATH
Demise Has Been Reported and
Denied Many Times
Capital Quiet.

London. Special: The mystery of
Menelik. the emperor of Abyssinia,
whose death has been reported innu-
merable times. only to be denied, re-
mains unsolved. w. Thesiger, British
ministel to Abyssinia. has reported that
even in Ads Adeba. the capital of
Abyssinia. the facts are still unknown.
No n will admit that the emperor is
dead and outside the palace there is
complete ignorance on the subject.
The diplomatic corps has been unable
to get at the truth; all the ministers
can say is that they have not seen
Menelik for years. The general belief
is that the emperor's embalmed body
lies in the innermost room of the Gebi.
The capital is. however, completely
tranquil and it is believed that any
danger to foreigners is past.
Mr.. Thesiger has just completed a
three months march along the Abyss
sinian frontier of British East Africa
to inquire into the wounding of two
British officers by raiders. He was ac-
companied by an Abyssinian escort
over 100 miles of lava strewn plain,

DEFENDS EXEMPTIONS
IN ANTI TRUST BILL
Chairman of House Committee
Denies Granting Union
New Favors.

Washington. Special: There is not
a provision in the antitrust bill which
can be tortured into meaning that
violence, coercion or intimidation are
authorized or countenaslced," Repre-
sentative Webb, of North Carolina,
chairman of the House Judiciary COM
mittee, said in a statement regarding
the House omnibus trust bill now pend
ing in the Senate. He gave the Of
iicial version Of the development of the
labor exemption clause. THE trainers
of the Sherman law" he said, never
intended to place labor organizations
n farmers organizations under the
ban of the law. The existence of a
labor or farmers union never has been
unlawful and is not unlawful today
but 1t was desired to place in the stat
utory law of the country a recognition
of the rights of those organizations to
exist and carry out their lawful pur-
pose.
after the original section 7, of the
antitrust law was drawn representa-
ttves of labor commended the section did
not give labor all it was entitled to
n demanded that we should max the
section provided that the antitrust
laws should not apply to labor organ
tZ~ations.' The acceptance of this
amendment would have placed labor
organizations beyond the pale of the
antitrust laws entirely which neither
the president nor the members Of the
committee would agree to.
FINALLY after 10 days Darleying we
agreed to d to what we already a
provided in the labor plank as adopted
in the Baltimore democratic convention
that such organizations, orders and as
sociations or their members should not
held Illegal combinations in re-
straint of trade under the antitrust
laws. This added nothing material,
but seemed a pretty good compromise
proposition.
This does not give labor, farmers
or fraternal organizations any more
than they are entitled to under the law
today, nor any more than the federal
constitutional right. What is known
as the secondary boycott is not au-
or legalized."
