claimed that, at heart, the President
was with him, shut even his strong
backbone broke down under the
pressure brought to hear" by the
beneficiaries of the law. But oleo-
margarine was not driven from the
market; it was clean, wholesome and
t~oothsome, and its pale, golden color
was pleasing to the eye. Its COM
petition with "cow-butter" was still
strong enough to hold down the price
of the creamery product, and sup
Elementary legislation became nee
essary. So a Republican Congress
levied a further tax of ten cents a
pound on oleo %artiicially colored.
Coloring was a right, it seemed, to
be carefully conserved to the cream
cry. Unjust law breeds law breakers,
and so | am not surprised that this
enactment is frequently violated.
Most of the offenders arrested in the
recent raid are charged with mixing
color with their goods. OF course
they must be prosecuted, for neither
you MOI I,my friend, must defy the law
on the plea that it is unjust. What I
am getting at is this: How long will
a Democratic Administration permit
the statute book to be burdened with
this measure? 1t appears to me that
he who discovers or devises a cheap
and wholesome substitute for a costly
article of food ought to be held a
a b~enefactor; not put under the law
of prohibitory law.

IT is being averred that the warning
nations of the Old World have spies
in this country, and that these spies
hold under surveillance everything
that may effect the interest of their
various governments. 1t is stated that
a train load of merchandise on it's way
to the coast was destroyed a few days
ago; that it comprised materials con-
traband of war and was destined to
the ports of certain of the belligerents;
hence its destruction, presumably by
n of the sleuths above mentioned.
The matter, we are told, is being in
vestigated by the Federal authorities,
and the result may be rather serious
and embarrassing. When everybody
else is scrapping it ismighty hard
for the peaceable bystander to keep
from ENHANCEMENT.

WHEN Akin took charge of the st.
Louis postofice he quickly displaced
all Democrats under him not protected
by the civil service, and filled their
places with men of his own political
faith, regardless Of the good of the
service. That is the Republican way.
In contrast, just take a squint at the
Collector of Revenues office. Two
years Of Democratic ad ADMINISTRATION
still finds the G. 0. p. spoilsmeu hold
ing down their places, with the ex-
ception of the head of the office, and
it took twenty two months to get him
in. Magnanimity is a fine thing, no
doubt, but when it is exercised for the
benefit Of the enemy only, and never
works to the good of our friends, it
eventually grows tiresome and savors
OF unfairness. II competent Demo-
Gratis for official position cannot be
found, let the fact be frankly admit
ted; II there are such, they ought to
be put in place, and the will Of the
people be carried out at the bottom as
well as the top.

The TERMS OF AUsTRIA's ULTIMAlUM

The terms of the Austrian ultimatum which
Servia refused-the immediate cause of war
are as follows: 49,.
Formal assurance from the Servian govern
ment that it condemns the propaganda which
resulted in the assassination of Archduke Fran
els Ferdinand at Saraieyo
An official apology that Seryian officers took
part in the Vaccinations against the dual mon
archy and Reputation of their actions
A promise that Servia will endeavor to sup
press subversive publications and dissolve inn
medately the Pan-Servian Society," "Narodna
Odbraya," and all other similar organizations.
Warning to the Servian population that anti
Austrian plots will be vigorously punished.
Removal of all Servian officials guilty of an
anti-Austrian propaganda.
Prompt punishment for those officials who
assisted the Sarajevo assassins across the bor-
der.
The specific arrest of Major Tankavitch and
a Servian state employe named Ziganoyitch,
compromised by the Saraievo inquiry.
Stopping of the Illicit traffic in explosives
across the frontier. s
Prompt notification to Austria that Servia
has fulfilled all these demands.
OF course this ultimatum was not the real
cause of war; There are many causes. One of
the most powerful is Russia's intention to gain
territory to the south and port on the Adriatic
or the Mediterranean. Another is the growing
race hatred between Slav and Teuton. Another
is Germany's fast-strengthening grip on much
world commerce, of which other nations are
jealous. But the ultimatum quoted above
serves as well as anything as reason for put
ting million or two men in the field.

STORY Of TRIP OF GERMANLINER
ASRELATEDBY one OF PASSENGERS

. The ship was $50 miles out of Ply
mouth when she turned back The
problem confronting Captain Polack
was to get his load of gold and human
souls back to America without being
overhauled by an enemy's warship
He could not afford to send wireless
messages, because he would betray
himself, but he could intercept.
Every message coming out Of the air
from Sayville admonished him to be
careful, told him that French and
English vessels we're talking about
that great prize, the Kronprinzessin
Cecile with her gold on board.
Friday night he considered himself
reasonably safe, He steered far to the
north out OF the beaten path, but took
no further precautions.
Saturday the usual Marconi news
paper was omitted, and at the lunch

war and SUGAR

Associated Press dispatches this morning say
that administration leaders are considering the
imposition of war taxes to offset the loss in
enue due to the European war and the suspen-
sion of foreign trade,
Will the administration still stand by it's poll
ey of free-trade in raw sugar and the inevitable
and irreparable damage to the domestic sugar
Industry?
will the administration carry into effect the
free-sugar clause in the Wilson Underwood
tariff bill and give up between fifty and sixty
millions of Legitimate revenue?
Will the administration forego sixty mil
lions from a protective tariff on sugar and pre-
fer to put war taxes on tobacco and beer? Il,
That Is one phase of the situation. Here is
another:
This European war has in its few brief days
already shown conclusively that the people of
the United States are dependent upon the do
mestic sugar growers for their supply of sugar.
Raw and refined sugar alike have jumped to
record prices in a little more than a week. All
the hundreds of thousands of tons Of foreign
sugar avail the people of the United States moth
ing at this time America must depend upon her
own supply of cane and beet sugar.
III America must depend upon her own supply,
how incredibly shortsighted it Is to remove the
Protective tariff wall and allow the domestic in
lustfy to be smashed by the unfair competition
Of cheap labor sugar from Europe, Java and the
other foreign countries!
In time Of peace the domestic industry will
be ruined BY this competition. And then, when
war comes to ravage the fields, close down the
factories and hold in their ports the ships of
the European producers, the United States will
have no domesticgrown supply to rely upon.
Under those circumstances, sugar would 60 to.

price for raws seem cheap.

standing disgrace to this city. There

that is but little better,
But roads are not the only things
or places where money has been vast

lack of judgment has been shown.
And ! would like to ask where we
are to end if this thing is to go on?
Already this city is to be saddled
with another loan, which will still
further steep the town deeper in debt,
and which will call for higher taxes.
In fact, 1t begins to look that IL
something Is not done to stop this
waste Of money the taxes will soon
be so high as to prohibit people from
coming to settle here. and will even
drive many away that are already

There has been much said about
men taking these positions without

to be a very important matter The
question is the man, what he stands
for. and what he will do in behalf of

the Americans held the same opinion
and the protest was dropped. Some
OF the passengers, however, did take
the matter up with the captain, His
answer was that the passengers were
his first consideration, that he would
give up the ship rather than sacrifice
them. But there was little or no dan
ger, he declared. They were too far
to the north, too far out Of the course
of shipping for collision.
Speculation on Port.
Monday night came and with II
more fog By this time the passen-
gers were Specializing as to what port
we were being headed for. The same
question was being debated on the
bridge. The wireless was telling the
captain that vessels down around New
York and Boston were trying to creep
along the coast within the FIVE mile
limit in order to be safe from SELF
ure. E.@... h.
This indicated to him that IL would
be unwise to attempt 70 make New
York or Boston. He did not dare ask
for specific information. He had to
make up his mind on such fragments
of information as he could grab from
the air. Portland first came to his
mind, but then he favored less
