SUGAR OR VICTORY?

II n the personal side of the
sugar controversy, of
which so much was made
by Senator Reed and his asso-
ciateS, Mr.. Hoover contents
himself with reference to the
numerous trade jealousies with
which he has had to deal, but
he points out that conflicting
interests have been consulted,
that nearly all of them have
entered voluntarily into war
service, and that the result has
been much cheaper sugar than
otherwise could have been
had. considering the shortage.
This shortage of course, is
due to war. Supplies from enc
my countries are cut off. The
East and West Indies and the
United States must meet the
requirements of the allies,
which means that in a restrict
ed way the West Indies and
the United States must do it.
We have diverted sugar from
Cuba to England and France,
where it was desperately
needed, but if our consump-
ton is to remain at fifty-five
pounds a person each year, we
must for our own uses import
from Java and pay a shamefui
price in ships and money.
Great Britain's sugar ration is
twenty-four pounds a year;
Frances thirteen pounds.
There is no alternative for us
but economy, economy of ship
ping as well as economy of su-
gar, and Mr.. Hoover finds few
signs of economy in sugar.
A question more vital, there
fore, than the animosities of
the sugar trade or the mean
ness of Senator Reeds commit
tee in its attack upon Mr..
Hoover is this: Do we, the SUI
gar glutons of the world, pre-
fer sweets at home to soldiers
on the firing-line? If not, then
we must reduce our reckless
consumption of sugar. Every
ship we send for sugar de-
prives men of transportation to
the front. We can have sweets
in cake and in candy or we can
have the sweets of victory.
Which shall it be?-New
York World.

Jane Addams is talking of a
new internationalism to rise

is whether it shall be in inter-

brand or an internationalism of
a variety that will make demo-

The team simply slumped thru
unavoidable causes, and lost its
grip on the pennant after having
had the flag fairly within its
grasp.
Its too bad, for Tacoma's
sake, that the league went UNI
der" said Tealey. For there was
more interest in the game here
and more patronage than any
waere else on the circuit, except
possibly one of the Montana cities.
"And l want to say that
Tacoma is fortunate in hav-
ing a man like Russ Hall for
a baseball manager. He is
the finest man l aver worked

Tacoma supported baseball
this season better than any other
city in the league, and for Taco

This was the parting statement
of Tealey Raymond, 1917 mana
ger of the Tacoma Tigers, as he
was packing up his household eff
fects yesterday afternoon, ready
to return to his former home In
Seattle.
"Guess I'll go back to the
cigar business" explained
Tealey, as he tied a mile Of
rope around a bundle Of bed
ding. Baseball is kinda I'M

don't know whether I'll be with
the Tigers or not. It's just like
one OF the players said a day or
30 ago-we might all be posing
as targets for German bullets a
wear from now"
A hard break of luck during
the last two weeks of the season
prevented Tacoma from winning
the pennant. In the first place,
