To the Editor of The Tribune:

To the Editor of The Tribune:
June 18th last, over 800 citizens of
this, my home city and county, hon
ored me by presenting the following
petition:
Recognizing the public service of
Walter S. Dickey, covering period of
over thirty years in this state, his I'M
questioned integrity, his effective
work on behalf of every public enter
prise, and further believing that his
broad experience in the larger business
affairs of the country, coupled with
rare executive ability and genius for
organization, should be secured to the
people of this state, We request and
urge Mr.. Dickey to become a candi-
date for the nomination by the Repub-
lican party in Missouri for the high
office of United States Senator, be-
lieve at this juncture the state and ma
ton need above all other things men
with these qualifications"
This petition evidences the conf
dence of friends, neighbors and bust
ness associates in the community
where l have spent all the years of my
manhood, married, reared family, es-
tablished and expanded a manufacture
ing business, and at the same time en-
deavored to exercise to the fullest the
privileges and duties of American cit
izenship.
Born in Ontario, of Ulster-Scot
father and mother whose forbears
came in the Mayflower and fought in
the revolutionary armies, nevertheless
my first vote was cast in the United
States and in the State of Missouri.
The fortuitious circumstances which
brought ne to the West and to Mis-
souri, places me under deep obligations,
which shall never be able to repay.
While approaching to the fullest eX-
tent the compliment, and while deeply
grateful for the sentiments expressed
in this petition, have been, also, thor
oughly alive to the burdens, the re-
sponsibilities and the sacrifices entail

Feeling that there might be some

Public Utilities Treats to Annual
Chicken Feast at
Riverview.

The street car men together with
members Of the Police Department
early this morning celebrated their
third annual banquet at the expense o.
the Public Utilities Company at the
Rivervicw Hotel Cafe.
1t was a genuine old-fashioned
chicken midnight supper-heavy on
Che chicken, for there was lots of it.
That, combined with fried oysters
and other things, calculated to make a
perfect meal.
The midnight hour was chosen for
the banquet, because it is the only
hour at which all the street car men
and policemen in the Cape are off duty
together.
The banquet is an annual affair
which A. NJ. Tinsley, local manager OF
the Public Utilities Company. has in
aggurated for the men. 1t follows the
close of each Cape County Fair, and
the men this morning had 4 special
reason for celebrating.

WHY HE DIDN'T SPEAK AT
NEW ORLEANS

The President of the United States
will celebrate, January s, the centen-
NAL of the battle of New Orleans by
speaking to a great gathering at In
dianapolis. The memorable victory of
General Jackson over the British at
New Orleans will be recalled with
pride and patriotism by Americans all
over this land.
Why the President does not speak
at New Orleans instead of 1000 miles
away from Jackson battlefield is not
apparent, unless it is because the Dem
ocrats Oh Louisiana are Jeffersonians,
and, therefore, wholly out of sympathy
with the present-day Democratic party.
Overlooking Jaekson's battlefield are
the ruins of a sugar factory, destroyed
by the Tariff law enacted under the
present administration. The ruin is as
great as that caused by German shells
in Belgium. The scene of desolation is
strikingly similar, in fact, to the waste
places of Belgium. There are Al add
tional sugar plants which have been
d~ismantled wholly or in part in the
sugar district of Louisiana.
The reduction of the duty upon sugar
effective in March, 1914, and the pro
vision of law that all the duty shall be
removed by May l, 1916, has destroyed
the business of thousands of Demo
Gratis in Louisiana without profting
the consumers of the United States by
one cent. Therefore the state of Lou
isiana has been lost to the Democratic
party and the first break has been
made in the Solid South.
Perhaps this furnishes a good and
sufficient reason foe the President s
attendance at indianapolis instead of
at New Orleans.
Now, why should the duty from
sugar be removed ON May l, 1916, after
it has been demonstrated by the par
tial reduction of duty that the con-
sumner gets no benefit, while the pro-
Queer is ruined? The revenue from
sugar is a big item, reaching some $780,
000,0 900 a year. If the removal of the
duty meant that the consumer would
receive $4,000, 900 in the reduced price
of sugar, the government might be jus
titled in finding other ways of raising
revenue, but the consumers pay as
much for sugar as ever, while the
Treasury has a deficit of $65, 100000.
The people are paying just as much
for sugar and they are making up the
deficit in revenue by a war tax.
The Secretary of the Treasury, in
his annual report, itlnarks that it is
unfortunate that the War Tax law is
to expire December 81, 1915. He sug- /,
gests that this limitation be removed,
and that the tax be kept in force until
peace is restored in Europe.
Why not abolish the wal tax and re-
store the duty on sugar9 The people
will not then be paying a double tax.
They viii get sugar just as cheaply as
they are getting it row.
This action would fill up the hole in
the Treasury and help to bring Lou
isiana back to the Democratic party
