THEIR GRAFT ENDED
No Wonder Sugar Trust Is Presi-
dent Wilson's Enemy.
DIsreputabIe Monopoly Had Enjoyed
IL Privilege Of RobbIng the Peo-
Pic 80 Long, II Thought situa-
tlon Would Never End.

The sugar trust is the most disrepu.
table monopoly in America. 1t has
had for years q tarif-granted monop-
oily Of manufacturing sugar for 10000
900 people. The "~diferential," that
Is. the difference between the duty on
raw sugar and that on refined sugar,
Is more than the entire cost Of REIN
ing. This not only shut out foreign
competition and insured exclusive cor
troll Of the home market. but also
gave the trust q bounty on it's work.
Graft like this would satisfy a Tex
as train robber-but 1t did not satisfy
the sugar trust. Not content with
robbing the public, that trust must
needs rob the government. 1t bribed
government employees whose duty 1t
was to weigh imported raw sugar.
1t tempered with government scales.
1t cheated on weights like a thieving
fish peddler. For years 1t was saved
from punishment by the friendship Of
Theodore Roosevelt; but in the ad-
ministration Of william H. Taft it was
given q taste-a tin taste-of JUS
tice.
The trust collectively and Its off,
Gals individually were dragged into
court, charged with criminal conspir-
acy to defraud the government. Many
Of the accused pleaded guilty. Some
turned states evidence. Several were
sentenced to Jail. The underlings.
who had merely done the crooked
work they were ordered Il do, had to
serve their sentences.
But Charles r. Heike, secretary and
treasurer of the trust, who was found
guilty Of conspirng to defraud the
government through false weights,
and was sentenced to eight months
in jail, was pardoned by President
took office.
In addition to convictions. fines and
jail sentences, the trust paid back
nearly $4,000, 900 which it admitted
having stolen by short weights. Gov
eminent attorneys claim that the en-
tire sum thus stolen by the sugar trust
was between $4,000. 900 and s11.O00.-
900.
The sugar schedule of the new tar
III bill cuts off the most profitable
graft of the trust, makes a strong re-
duction to take effect at once, and pro-
vides for free sugar at the end of three
years. 1t is a Just and moderate
measure-more moderate than the su
gar trust deserves.

because 1t was raining. He looked
at them with a sudden inspiration.
OF course! Why had he not thought
of that? He hurried into his sisters
room to make a selection of a few
necessities for the emergency-only
to have his assurance desert him at
the very threshold. The room was

think 1t had been called for. and no
further inquiry would be made about

sisters knowledge.
He poked back into the closet and
discovered several wraps and evening
cloaks of more or less elaborate
style, but the thought came to him
that perhaps n of these would be
recognized as Cornelia's. He closed
the door hurriedly and went down to
a large closet under the stairs, from
which he presently emerged with his
mothers new black rain-coat. He
patted his coat-pocket to be sure he
had the gloves, seized his hat, and
hurried back to the carriage. the hat

rain-coat dragging behind him. His
only anxiety was to get out before
the butler saw him.

Has Shown Craftsmanship.

Since the whole country has for
years demanded a new law, President
Wilson's administration, in giving such
months has won ar emphatic triumph.
and, let us hope. conferred a lasting
benefit upon this republic.
AS a purely legislative victory for
the president, the bank act has few
parallels in our recent history. II the

dicted, history will accord him due
credit for his extraordinary achieve

Must Make Money easier"

No law of any sort can prevent hard
times caused by the waste or destruc-
ton of capital through wars, foolish
taxes, extravaganza, or commissions Of
nature. But the new currency meas
ure will do much to check hard times
caused by needless "tightness" Of
money. AS fast as the country's banks
can be reorganized under this sys-
tenn. money now lying idle will b.
liberated for use.

IN THE NORTH SEA.

From the moment England joined
Europe's war the world has been
waiting for great sea battle. For
this crash of dreadnoughts every
thoughtful mind has been on the
North Sea; and particularly has
every sailors eye ranged a stretch
of waters hite-capping from the
upper capes of Holland to the bot
tom Danish boundary.
Back of Denmark the Baltic Sea
curves into an almost land-locked
lay. 1t laps the eastern shores of
a very celebrated neck Of land
Schleswig- Holstein-as the western
shore is washed by the North Sea.
From the middle of Prussia there
flows down past many cities, towns
and villages the river ElDe, dropping
on beyond Hamburg and then,
marking the base Of Holstein, into
the North Sea.
From Kiel Bay-the great naval
station of the German empfre-there

RESERVE BOARD READY.

There will be universal rejoicing
that at length the personnel of the
Federal Reserve Board is complete,
and organization of the new cur
rency and banking system can pro-
coed apace.
Universal rejoicing does not over
state it; for it is just now of world
wide importance that the full power
Of American wealth, resources and
good-fortune in a condition of peace,
shall be summoned to cushion the
terrific shock that has come upon
the world of business.
The new system is not ideal, and
it unfortunately must be given its
first trial in time of vast difficulty.
But 1t is yet immeasureably better
than what we have had before. If
it shall work half as well as its
sponsors have expected, it will make
this country a safety-valve instead of
a defective tube in the boiler that
must carry the pressure of an I'M
economic strain.

cording to the FranHfurter Zeitung,
Germany seems 70 have fallen. The

What shall this struggle OF the

haps we cannot. do better than that.

needs of accurate description; per-

THE LOSS OF MAHAN.

President Wilson took time yester.
day to direct that all officers of the
army and navy, active and retired,
shall refrain from discussing the
military or political news from Eu-
rope.
This is a highly appropriate step.
1t closes one avenue to possible re-
sentiment and bitterness at time
when it is of vast Importance that
this country should maintain the
strictest neutrality in both decd and
sentiment. Nevertheless, it deprives
the public of needed means of inter-
probation of what is happening.
All Continental Europe has mill
tary education. All England has a
naval education. We have none in
either. We need preceptors, COM
mentators. We might be able to get
on without Miles if only a Greene
can be preserved to us. 1t is unfor-
tunate that we must be asked to as
sent to the suppression of Mahan.
The treasures which our historian
admiral is laying up will doubtless
some day be disclosed to us. But all
feel the need of them now, fed out
to us as current comment.

of this lamentable situation? We con-
slider that England, as the most power
full of all empires. naturally and prop
erly enough has sought to crush all
dangerous rivals. She crushed the
power of Napoleonic France. From
that moment in 1915 till the battle of
the Yellow sea and the fall of Port
Arthur the aim of her policy was to
crush Russia-fighting her herself and
fighting her through Turkey and final
ly crushing her through Japan in the
battles above mentioned. with Rus
STA broken. the aim Of England's polity
became. in 1906. the crushing of Ger
many. For this purpose alone she made
alliance with France and Russia. There
could have been no other purpose be-
hind the triple entente, for there was
no other need for il.
To France she as much as said: I'VE
will help you to get revenge and re-
capture Alsace-Lorraine"
To Russia she as much as said:
Yours shall be Asia Minor and the
Eastern Mediterranean, and We will
stand by you till your broken strength
is repaired" And fer nine years these
three have planned this very attack
on Germany. Germany, whose vast
strength. capable of crushing each of
the other nations separately, has been
held in leash. preserving for forty
three years a peace longer than has
blessed Central Europe since the COM
ing of Christenjom.
The Austrian attack on Servia was
merely the occasion What cares Rus
STA for Servia? Russia cares only to
keep the triple alliance from getting
another outlet on the Mediterranean.
AS to the sympathy for Servia, it is not
necessary to cherish other than good
wishes for all nations to, at the same
time, insist on the truth of inferiority
and superiority among nations.
