Soft Pedal On the Unfit.

What the working man and working girl
need now IL comradeshlp. not 'uplifting''' said
the president of the Omaha woman's club COM
menting on the work OF the year in prospect
The same thought has often occurred to lay OBJ
servers and sometimes In the form Of structure
on those societies that busy themselves with the
public upllft Of the private individual.
Experience proves. II It proves anything
that men and women needing the ameliorating
influences OF their brethren and sisters gener-
ally prefer private to public treatment and.
above all. that they be consulted as 10 the
method Of elevation. Where they can feel from
touch OF true sympathy and. comradeship an
actual concern for their welfare, Il makes the
task Of helping much simpler than Il It is gone
about with the brass band method Those need
ing such help know that the "uplift'' business
has been badly overdono In some quarters and
they also know that many of the well-meauinE,
but misguided souls seeking their edification
could accomplish far more by redoubling their
efforts within their own smaller domestic
circles
The Omaha Woman's club owes It's president
a rousins vote Of thanks for putting the soft
pedal on harsh strain.

president he snubbed the suffragettes,
but when he wanted their votes he pre-
tended to be with them. When he is IN
n state where prohlptionists are strong
no N q prohibtionist; when In other
states he lie against them. He forced the
nomination OF Taft upon the republican
party In 1905. then when he was not able
to do the same thing for himself in 1919
he got sore and formed his party OF spite
to XIII the party that made him. This
year In Nebraska he favors the pro

fayors the democratic ticket In order to

A suusar Producer on, sugar.

A suuRar Producer on Sugar.
MATTHEWS r. o.. La. Oct. 4.-To the
Editor OF The Bee; Just a few lines as
TO sugar and the sugar situation today.
The sugar crop OF 1884 was the larg-
est in the history OF the universe. being
some 1s.Eoo,00o tons, and as q consequences
sugar sold very cheaply throughout the
world. and especially so In America Lou
isiana raw sugar having sold as low as
g .S2h per 100 pounds in New Orleans at
the docks and Cuban sugar selling as low
as 81 STU per 100 pounds. cost and freight
delivered In New York on the wharves
plus the duty OF las cents per pound
These low prices were due to the fact
that the worlds output OF sugar vas a
little more than it's consumption. As the
pendulum swings one way. so II swings
back. and that this IL so IL best evidenced
BY the fact that sugar Is now higher
by nearly 100 per cent than nine months
ago. due to the following facts:
OF the $4,000 tons OF sugar produced
In isl3-14 nearly half. or about s.0oo.OO
tens. were produced in Europe from
sugar beets Practically all the nations
raising these beets are now az war and
the beet crops are being tramplsd under
foot or used for food and therefore the
European isi4-i5 yield Of sugar wiz be
cut down by many millions OF tons. and
for the first time In the history Of this
country we find ENGLAND buying sugar
from the United States. its consumption
being about 100000 tons. a large part OF
which formerly came from the beet sugar
countries OF Europe.
Owing 20 low prices the tropical cane
sugar producing countries Of South Amer
lea and the orient have also eurtailsd
their production. and in North America
the sugar crop Is about l.ooe0oo tons short
