TAX NOT WARRANTED
Sugar Companies Evidently Need
No Assistance.
Injustice to Make Consumers Contrib
ute Money for Their Beneflt-Ad-
ditlonal Revenue Should Be
Raised In Other Ways.

The Wall Street Journal short
time ago. contained an article on do
nestle sugar companies. part Of
which is as follows:
1T is understood that the Great
Western Sugar company has been rip
ening a melon which is almost ready
for plucking. This. company, one OF
the largest beet-sugar producers in
the world, has prospered enormously
since the war lifted raw sugar prices
to the highest level in years. The
common stock, of which there is $780,
$4,000 outstanding, has advanced
from $50 per share last September to
the present market of 5000.
1T Is said on authority that the 1915
earnings were safely over so per cent
on the common stock. For the current
year, II sugar prices hold, the com
pany may easily earn $40 per share.
Great Western is In position
to pay q handsome extra dividend in
cash, OF to capitalize part Of It's bulky
surplus by the declaration of stock
dividend"
In view of the facts thus set forth,
is there the Slightest Justification for
the United States government giving
this bloated corporation the privilege
OF taxing American consumers an ex-
ira cent per pound on all the beet
sugar they use? Yet that is what the
government will do, if 1t retains the
tariff on sugar. 1t seems to the Jour-
nal that the only fair, sensible and
Democratic thing to do is to put sugar
on the free list and raise any addi-
tional revenue needed by national

A number of devices for excluding

plest and most practical of these is a
milking pail with cover which re-
duces the area of the surface exposed
during the milking. In order to test
the efficiency of such pail for keep
ing out dirt that would fall into an
open pail, experiments were carried
on at the Connecticut experiment sta
ton which resulted in the following:
The amount or dirt in the milk from
the covered pail was only 81 per cent
of that in the open pail. BY the use of
the covered pail an average of 20 per
cent Of the total number of bacteria
and Al per cent of the acid-producing
bacteria were excluded from the fresh
milk.

ORGANIZERS STORY.

One of our pro-liquor friends told
the writer that women ought to stay
at home and bring up their families.
They ought to train their boys to let
liquor alone Then he told pathetic
story that he personally knew to be
true (?) OF certain Mrs. Pingley out
in Kansas always KansasD, who
went out lecturing for the w. c. T. q.
and left her three little children for
their father to look after. He could
not be with them every moment, and
the three boys played on the railroad
track and were all killed by the cars
running over them. AS / dryly COM
mented, all that spoiled the story was
that the w. G. T. U. never sends out
woman lecturers with small children
at home, and there never was any
Mrs. Pingley employed as w. c. T.
U. speaker in Kansas. He was not
certain then whether that was her
name or not, and thought perhaps she
was speaking for some other cause!

Frequent Cultivation 10 Recommended
by c. X. McQuarrie Of Florida
Experiment Station.

Frequent cultivation for water
melons is recommended by C. X. Nc.
Quarrie of the Florida experiment sta
ton. They should be plowed with
some shallow-running tool until they
cover the ground. At the last cult
walton some hay crop should be plant
ed between the rows. A legume is pre-
ferred. Mr.. McQuarrie does not rec
ommend the planting OF watermelons
In raised hills. except on fiatwoods.
The hills soon dry out below the seed
and they will not terminate. On high
land it would probably be better to
plant in furrow. The hill not only
retards termination. but it confines
the root system of the plants when
they come up.

The Secretary Of War.

Secretary Baker strongly impressed
the company at the dinner of the
American Publishers association as a
man of large personal force, clear
vision, and obvious sincerity. His
speech dispelled the illusion that he
is inclined to be pacifist, to heed the
sentimental cry that a nation ready to
defend itself is ever in danger OF be-
ing led into war by its pride in its
military resources. He Is good speak
er. His timely utterances were deliv-
cred with facility and grace In his
first public appearance in this part of
the country he revealed some OF the
power which has given him distinction
in his own state. He has become q
national parsonage.
Secretary Baker removed all doubts
of the will Of the war department, I'M
der his direction, to lend all its ener-
gfes to the execution of the plans for
preparedness on land favored by con
gress-New York Times.

WHAT DOCTORS THINK.

When the liquor men circularized
the physicians of Vermont, urging
them to oppose statewide prohibition,
the replies were not what they had
hoped for This is one of them:
1--WE, the members of the medical
staff of the Vermont State hospital,
submit the following as an expression
of our opinion of the use of alcohol as
a beverage.
I'VE are now and ever shall be ut
terly opposed to the sale and use Of
alcohol in any form as beverage; we
are absolutely opposed to any propa-
ganda that has for its purpose to le-
galize the sale of alcohol as bever-
age. 1t has no place internally as q
medicine; 1t is always in all forms
a poison and a destroyer of proto-
plasm and paralyzer of protoplasmic
activity.

People With the President.

Congress is optimistic now over the
outlook for the future of the nations
relations with foreign countries, &C.
cording to Congressman George Hud-
dleston.
Recent developments have only
served to Strengthen President Wilson
with the members of both houses of
congress and with the people of the
nation" declared Congressman Hud-
dleston. There is an optimistic feel
ing among the leaders in Washington
now regarding our foreign relations,
and the general opinion is that
through the able guidance of the presi-
dent we will weather the storms and
come out with honor and without any
war. This lie true as regards both Ger
many and Mexico.
"Th re have been times when many
OF the leaders of congress were In
clined 20 criticize the president for his
conduct of foreign affairs. Some con-
tended that he was too slow to act
while others thought he acted with too
great haste. But every day sees the
president grow stronger in the opinion
of the men in congress, both among
the Democrats and the Republicans
The president is the right man in the
right place at this time; but for his
wise guidance and able leadership, the
nation would long since either have
been plunged into a great war or else
might have suffered her honor to be
besmirched."

VIII Find Wilson Hard to Beat.

Republicans will need their best
man to beat Woodrow Wilson. 1t will
never do for them to undervalue his
fighting power. A Republican United
States senator from the West recent
ly stated the blunt truth when he said
that Wilson is today million votes
stronger than the Democratic party.
One would believe this If he mag
ined Wilson out of the race and any
other Democrat nominated at St.
Louis. 1t would mean Republican
walk-over. But there win be none

cratic ticket-New York Evening

The liquorites in their publicity arti-

don, England) concerning benefits
from the use of alcoholic medicines
and beverages. AS a matter of fact it
appeared some years ago and was pre-
pared by proliquorites in an attempt
to Offset the antialcoholic utterances of
leading English physicians and sur
geons-such men as Sir Frederick
Treves, surgeon to the king; Sir Thorn

Victor Horsley, Englands greatest
neurological surgeon; Sir A. Pearce
Gould of the Middlesex hospital, Sir
James Barr, dean of the Medical
School of Liverpool university; Prof.
Sims Woodhead of Cambridge univer-
sity medical school, and others of like
standing.
The statement received 16 signatures
of medical men, and half Of these, 1t
was discovered, were men who owned
brewery or distillery stock. 1t was
given conspicuous place in every bar
room in England and in many Ameri-
can saloons-and is still doing duty.
To the question, Is alcohol food or
poison, a stimulant or depressant?
science is giving reply. Its latest re-
port comes from the nutrition labora-
tory of the Carnegie institution OF
Washington, where tests were made to
determine the effects Of alcohol on mo-
tor and mental processes. The sub
jects we're college graduates. some of
them moderate drinkers, some hard
drinkers. In all the tests made the
evidence showed clearly that alcohol is
a depressant to the system, never o
