Sugar: A BIunder and a Corner

All reports agree that strong efforts
will be made in the next Congress to
undo some Of the follies OF the last
Congress. Among other follies that
cry aloud for attention is the sugar
tariff. The only things which Congress
succeeded in accomplishing by its free
sugar program we're TO disturb the sugar
growers OF the United States and cut
millions of the federal revenue in the
shape Of sugar duties. 1t did not, as
everybody who buys sugar knows, re-
duce the average price Of that necessity.
Now there are rumors OF a speculative
campaign aiming to control the supply
Of raw sugars. The consumation oI
such a scheme can only profit the orig
inators il the price Of refined sugar i:
advanced. Thus we behold dear suga
upon the table, coupled with loss il

Still They Come

Phillip w. Carter Of Newton, Mass,
who was one Of the organizers Of the
Progressive party in Massachusetts,, and
who for the last three years has served
as a member Of the state committee,
as a member Of the finance committee,
as treasurer Of the 18th district con-
gressional committee, and later still as
treasurer OF the financial auditing COM
mittee, has returned to the republican
fold. Mr.. Carter made his purpose
known through letter to republican
friend. my reasons for severing re-
lations with the progressive organiza-
ton at this time are twofold," he wrote.
First Of all, it is apparent that the
progressive party is no longer held in
respect by the vast majority Of the
voters in this state. My second reason
for leaving the party at this time is my
conviction that this is a wo'party
country. doubt il any third party
can ever survive. In the future look
to lineup Of the radicals on the one
hand and the conservatives on the
other.
There is no chance to accomplish
anything by continuing to act as an
assistant democrat Should / be
asked by my old republican friends
why l did not join the democratic
party, in view Of the fact that their
platform more nearly resembles the
progressive platform, l would reply
that I am not joining them, because
the democratic party is at heart more
reactionary."

Solving The Dyestuif Problem

Not long ago it was reported that
large amounts Of American capital
were ready for investment in the man
ufacture Of dYestufs, but large mills
continue to close all their doors be-
cause OF the failure to get dyestufs
from Germany.
Great Britain has not yet been per-
suaded to lift the embargo on the
dyes that are awaiting shipment in
Germany. Her control Of the seas en-
ables her TO force the closing Of scores
Of American textile mills. Meanwhile
England herself is manufacturing tex
tiles and selling them in competition
with the United States. She is using
the war for her own commercial ad
vantage, and not merely for the pur-
pose Of starving out Germany.
1t must be clear by this time that
the administration, If it wishes Ameri'
cans to manufacture their own dye
stufs, must meet the situation frankly.
There has been a determined effort by
administration officials to avoid the OBJ,
vious necessity Of protective tariff.
The various substitutes which have
been suggested such as an antidump-
ing clause which would prevent Ger
many from deluging the American
market as soon as the war is over, do
not meet the situation.
The party in power may Just as
we'll recognize that capital will not be
invested in the manufacture Of dYestufs
in this country until there Is a protec-
tive tariff that will equal the difference
in the cost production at home and
abroad. Germany has mastered the
art Of making dyestufs. The business

Aside from the disadvantage Of mex,

Friends, Not Enemies

1t is very difficult for the majority
OF the human race to overcome preju-
dices, to trample upon tradition, or 10
eradicate idets once firmly established.
Perhaps this generation lives in an in
quisitive age and thinkers and students
are not content to accept theories ad'
vanced by their ancestors. New lines
Of reasoning are being deduced which
bring about new and unexpected results.
Not very long ago the common toad
was destroyed wherever found and the
sparrow was considered a great pest.
Even the garter snake was regarded as
an undesirable citizen" il I may Dor
row from the language Of the learned.
Today the toad is a cherished friend oi
the farmer, the gardener and the house
wife, because he destroys so many
bugs and flies.
The latest theory advanced which
will be difficult for many people TO be-
lieve is in regard to the sparrow. The
following is a quotation from a man
who has spent most Of his life in the
study Of the habits Of birds. He says;
These birds are actually worth theil
weight in gold, as they destroy enough
weed seed in one month to pay for al
the damage they may do in othel
directions in a whole year"
Even now there is newiound ust
for the garter snake, which is harm
less reptile. A gardener noticed durini
a scourge OF the potato bugs that hi
patch was infested with this specie o
snake, and that they darted abou
hither and thither swapping up hundred
Of the bugs. II only enough snake
could be secured, the potato bug Nigh

are very useful in catching field mice
and ! know an instance where a blacI
snake was kept under dwelling hous
to keep it free from rats and mice

Washington Letter

Washington, Aug. 2S.-The latest
monthly summary issued by the FEEDER
al Reserve Board is, like its immedi'
ate predecessors, another chapter in
the continued story Of general busi-
ness depression everywhere except in
those fortunate localities where war
orders" center.
From New England comes the re-
port Of tight money, despite its accum-
ulation in bank vaults, summer resorts
complain Of poor attendance and dull
business, general trade is reported as
poor, and textiles, the main industry
Of the region, are in bad way.
From New York there is report OF
great activity in the production OF
supplies for shipment to Europe"
Building operations, however, are cur
tailed, with depression evident in
lumber, ioundries, implement works
and silk mills. Retail trade is COM
planning and collections are unsatisfac-
tory.
Philadelphia says there is almost
no improvement perceptible over last
MONTH" Cleveland is cheered up
greatly by war orders" Richmond
says that business is just about hold
ing steady, which probably is all that
can be expected" And Atlanta sings
the same song. In the Chicago dis
trict, it may be fatty stated, war or
ders have brought the only prosperity
that the people are enjoying.
From St. Louis comes word that
conditions have not improved so rap
idly as indications seemed to warrant"
Minneapolis is hopeful" Kansas
City shows mo marked improvement
over last month" Dallas says con-
ditions are improving. San Fransisco,
despite the Coast Expositions, can re-
port nothing better than normal"
Here are the cold facts. Take
away the war orders" and America
would be stagnating in business
sense; indeed aside from the wal
order" centers, America is now stag
mating in a business sense. "Wai
orders" cannot last forever. What
shall we do when they cease? Shal
we continue the wretched economic
policy that has produced this condi
ton Of things, or shall we return to The
days Of adequate tariffs, formed OF
national, not sectional, lines, and assur
ing a real, not stimulated, prosperit.

A newspaper headline says that the
president hears that the country is be-
hind him in plans for stronger national
defenses. To be truthful, the head
liner should have said that the country
is far, far ahead Of the president. 1t
will be fortunate if the president can
catch up with the country in advocacy
OF national defense.
