SUGAR TESTED
MORAL Fiber
Dsubters Declared Saving Sta.
pies Would Be Easy Compared
With Sacrificing Luxuries.
FIGURES SHOW RESULTS,
Americans Demonstrated Sturdy SUP.
pert Of War by Conserving for
the Benefit Of the
Aliies.

When figures began to show def
initely that the people Of the United
States were actually reducing their
consumption of foods needed abroad,
the United States Food Admins
tration was told that 1t was COM
paratively easy to bring about conser-
walton Of staple necessities, but that It
would be far more difficult to accom-
plish an actual decrease in the use Of
Injuries. The doubters took sugar as
an example, and declared that 1t would
be practically impossible to bring our
consumption of sugar down to a point
that would meet only the food needs
Of the people.
Now that demands upon ocean ton
mage will be lightened. European ma
lions will be able to 90 farther afield
for foodstuffs, and will no longer be
entirely dependent for sugar upon
North American supplies. With the
stocks now In prospect. we will have
sufficient sugar to place this country
back upon normal consumption II the
present short ratiOns in Europe are
not materially increased. II the Eu-
rOpean ration is to be materially In
creased over the present low amount
1t can be only through the American
peoples making 1t possible by con-
tinued restriction to q greater or less
extent here.
The fact that the Food Administra-
ton has been able to relax the volun-
tary sugar ration Is In itself proof that
the ration of two pounds per person
per month was generally observed
throughout the country. This conser-
walton allowed the Food Administra-
ton to build up a reserve, and to tide
over the period of scarcity. until the
the new crops of Louisiana cane and
beet sugar were ready for distribution.
The records Of the Food Admins
tratiOn show that in July, August, Sep
TENDER and October 095. 900 tons were
distributed. Normal consumption for
that period is 100000 tons. This
shows a definite. concrete saving Of
over 100000 tons. These figures ap-
ply to sugar consumed on the table, In
the kitchen and In the various indus
tries, and show conclusively that In
the homes and public eating places Of
America, where 20 per cent. Of all our
sugar Is consumed, the sugar cOnsump-
ton has been reduced by more than
One-third.
In the four-month period begin
ming with July. this country normally
uses 100000 tons of sugar per month.
Last July 100000 tons entered into
distribution In August only 225.OOO
tons were distributed. In September
the figures showed $4,000 tons, and
then fell to $4,000 tons in October.
There could be no more definite
proof that the American people have
given their loyal cooperation and sup
port of the war.

CONGRESS REBUKED

The country has handed over the control of congress to the he
publican party largely because of the incompeteney and narrow see
tionalsm of the men who are placed in control of congress under a
Democratic regime. j..
The Democrats have been in control ever since the beginning Oh
the war. When it was apparent to all thinking men that III country
could hardly keep out of the struggle, these Democrats absolutely
refused to take a step to place this country in a state OF preparation
After this country had been insulted and abused by Germany beyond
the point of endurance, some Democratic leaders still opposed siren
uously the declaration of war against Germany and did all they
could to block war measures.
his way to condemn the draft, declaring in one of his speeches that
in his opinion, there was no difference between conscrpt and convict
Congressman Dent, chairman of the military affairs committee,
was so opposed to the draft act that he refused to handle it In the
House although 1t was a n administration measure, and Congressman
Kahn. ranking Republican member of his committee, put 1t through.
Chairman Ktchin, Democratic leader in the House, and chairman
Of the Ways and Means Committee that has charge OF all the revenue
bills, openly boasted that he was going to saddle the expenses IL the
war O. the North.
Naturally. the country became Disguised with such leadership
At the first opportunity the people ousted such men from me re-
sponsible positions that they held, knowing that the Democratic party
wonld never GUST them of its own accord because of precedent and
the established practice of congress.
There was no rebuke for the President in the election tuesday.
IT was a rebuke to the Democratic congress which failed tt measure
up to the requirements of the country in the present crisis.

A NEW EXCISE A

Only one member of the present regime in the excise board has
been reelected. Thomas Lucas, who has been a dominating spirit III
The management of excise affairs in this city for the past three years,
will be a member of the new board, but he will stand practically
alone
One other excise commissioner has been re- elected, James j.
Flynn, but Flynn has been on the outside looking III all during the
administration now drawing to a close. In the new board Flynn bids
fair to be a dominating figure. He, together with his three Demo
cratic colleagues, will easily control the board.
The CITY has been promised a decided Improvement In excise
affairs If these men were elected. 1t remains to be seen how well they
will keen their promise. If Flynn, should become the leader OF the
mm.>nv OF The board, as his experience would warrant, and ii ne
puts up the same fight that he has waged against the present major
ity. there ought to be a decided improvement.
Incidentally the board is now in absolute control of Democrats.
The four men were elected on the Democratic ticket solely as Demo
Gratis. The Democratic party, therefore, must stand responsible Tor
the conduct of the board. The excise affairs cannot be ignored dur
ing the next three years as being a combination between both par
ties. one being as bad as the other. The new board is Democratic
and that party, whether the leaders desire it or not, must bear Its
share of the responsibility for its conduct.
