The serum treatment used for

SUGAR PLANTERS
SHOULD ESTABLISH
own REFllERIES
Present Situation Proves Self
Agency Necessary, Says
Brosssard
by Paul Wooten.

Washington, Sept. 7.-Senator
Broussard views the coming confer
ence between Cuban sugar interests
and the Food Administration with
distinct foreboding. If any agree
ment is reached at this conference
he thinks it is certain to be to the
disadvantage of the Louisiana sugar
interests. To combat at situation
which is certain to become more and
more unfavorable to Louisiana, SEN
ator Broussard is urging sugar
planters to take immediate steps
looking to the refining Of their own
sugars and the creation of their own
selling agencies, 50 that Louisiana
planters can stop selling raws and
place refined product directly on the
market. ii.Ix
"While need for this action has
long existed said Senator Broussard
today. 1T is imperative that the
step be taken 1T this time if the Lou
isiana sugar industry does not wish to
be put at = serious disadvantage:
The best opportunity ever offered to
end the unsatisfactory relationship
with the seaboard refiners il at hand.
II Louisiana plnaters will take this
action they can secure the advantage
Of the refiners' differential."
i Most industries would be willing
to pay generously for permission to
operate such . selling agency ~ Is
proposed, but the Sherman law pre-
vents such action. The Sherman law,
however, does not apply to farmers,
which places at the disposal Of the
Louisiana sugar growers the oppor-
tunity Of combining to form an ef-
fective and economical selling orga-
nization.
q The excise tax feature of the reve-
nue. bill may be reached by the Sen
ate late tomorrow, but Senator
Broussard is hopeful Of being able
to have discussion of it postponed
until Monday. .s.ss ss.zs

Of The Vi9ilantes

Obsessed, with dreams of power,
Brooding, ambition-mad,
He saw the world his dover
From Berlin to Bagdad;
And so his hosts of ill
He loosed in steely streams;
And he is stills still
Obsessed with dreams.
Had he but held his hand,
Imperious as old Rome)
Lo, not one riven land,
And not one ravished home!
But he must have his will
Vouch, desecrated Rheims!
Behold him blinded still,
Obsessed with dreams.
Some day across his sleep
May there be visions borne
OF countless eyes that weep,
How millions-millions mourn!
Were it not just until
The earth's last dawning CLEANS
That he be haunted still,
Obsessed with dreams.

L.W.W. PURPOSE WAS

Dor Trouble Part Of Plet

Washington, Sept. 7.-Numerous
indictments for conspiracy to thwart
the governments war plans and tie
its hands in many ways appear to be
in prospect as a result Of Wednes-
days nationwide raid of Industrial
Workers of the World offices by De-
partment of Justice agents.
Evidence is said to be fast accu-
mulating to support the belief for
some time past to cripple the govern
ment in carrying on the war, that its
ramifications have extended into vir-
tually every state and that numer-
Gus anti-war activities sources in
reality had their foundation-head in
single group of conspirators.
Anti-draft demonstrations, Grip
ling Of war industries by so-called
labor disturbances and by violence,
burning Of crops and continuous
preachment Of anti-Ally sentiment,
with other activities, tended to en-
barrass the government and retard
the exercise Of its full strength in
prosecuting the war, appear, from
recent disclosures. to have been in-
cluded within the scope Of the Al
legged conspiracy. 4
Into the formation and the work
ings Of this alleged conspiracy the
Department Of Justice has begun an
inquiry more comprehensive, It Is
said, than any launched since this
country's entry into the war.

ly-and sincerely too, I believe-he
was an enthusiast as to country's op.
portunities and government alike
He was fervent in his expressed ad.
miration for "Amerika." At this
stage of his life Herr Grossenheimer
was son of democracy.
He went back to Germany, how
ever, and started department store
in one of its largest cities. There
he practised 50 well what he had
seen and heard at Marshal Fields,
that he became one of the great mer-
chants of Germany.
met Herr Grossenheimer again
in 1905, this time in New York City.
He had taken on smoothness, Is well
as flesh, and had lost some Of his
earlier love and admiration for the
United States; or rather it had be-
come part and parcel of the toler-
ence, yes passion, that he now pos
sessed for humanity as a whole. In
short, Herr Grossenheimer saw 50
much good in all nationalities and in
their various forms Of government
that he was . cosmopolite-more 50,
more attractively 50, than any other
man I ever had met. Nor in fact

near to being q Citizen Of the world.

We met again in 1911. Our third
and last-meeting occurred that

see him, and still glad that knew

I gathered from him . vast deal Of

But, beyond that. it was . trial to
visit with Herr Crossenheimer. He
was no longer . lover Of democratic
institutions or forms Of government,
no lnger IN admirer Of the good in
all humanity and Of the various reg
ulations and laws that each nation
has seen fit to adopt for itself. Herr
Grossenheimer was now the inveter-
