SENATE VOTES TO
END FREE SUGAR
Ten Democrats Vote Against
Resembling Provision
After May |.
FOUR HOURS OF DEBATE
Smoot Attacks Wholesale Grocers'
Association-Bill Now Goes to
Wilson for Signature.
FOUR HOURS OF DEBATE

Ten Democratic Senators yesterday
voted against repeating the provision for
free sugar after May i in the Under
wood-Simmons law.
The free sugar paragraph was repealed
however, by the votes of all other Demo-
Gratis recorded and all the Republicans
present and voting. The vote by which
free sugar was repealed was SO to 10.
The vote came after four hours of de-
bate. Senator Hardwick of Georgia.
made a fight against repeating the free
sugar provision and stood for a domestic
tax on consumption Of sugar as an alter
native revenue provision.
Senator Reed Smoot advocated the re-
peal and attacked the Wholesale Grocers'
Association, propaganda carried on by
E. c. Lowry, OF New York, as secretary.
Senator Smoot said that it was made up
Of two members, Mr.. Lowry and Mr.
Spreckels. OF the Federal Sugar Refining
Company. That the entire sum of 81, 900
contributed to carry on the work of the
wholesale grocers' lobby was paid by
Spreckels.
This led Senator Thomas, a free sugar
advocate, to inquire II the beet sugar
growers and manufacturers had not
maintained a larger lobby in Washington
than the one for free sugar, which Sena-
tor Smoot had attacked, and Senator
Smoot admitted that there had been a
lobby to retain the duty.
The ten Senators on the Democratic
side who voted to retain free sugar as a
part OF the Underwood Simmons law
were the following: Gore, Hardwick
Hughes, Johnson Is. d., Lane, MARITIME,
Smith (Ga), Thomas and Vardaman.
The acceptance by the Senate Of the
House bill on the vote yesterday after
noon passes the bill repeating the free
sugar provision and sends II to the Pres
ident direct for his signature.

What does the baby ask of you,

Only the gift of thought from you,
Only the gift of look from you
AT the road before his feet.
Is it smooth and clean and 6t say you,
Fit for baby's feet? ~.
What does the baby say to you,
Iou who pay heed?
He begs for the right of living with you,
Begs for the help of hand from you
What he begs is but his need.
Will the hand and the help be ready from you,
Serving the baby's need?
What does the baby give to you,
Men whose vision is dim?
He gives you sun to tighten your way;
He gives you hope for each dark day,
Have you paid your debt to him?
Have you smoothed his path and guided his way
Guarded and shielded him?
What does the baby keep for YOU
You whose need is vast?
He keeps faith and hope and joy for you
Comfort and love and home for you
In his tiny hand held fast.
Are you earning the gifts he is keeping for you-
You who are going past?
