PLENTY OF SUGAR
IN UNITED STATES
President of Equalization Board Says
Price Should Not Exceed Eleven
Cents.

New York, July 25.-The war de-
partment has sold to the United
States sugar equalization board ST.
100000 pounds of refined sugar, it
was announced here today by George
IA. Zabriskie, president of the board,
who declsr| there is abundance" of
raw suga the country, that retail
prices should not exceed II cents a
pound and that there is no need of
boarding.
The head of the sugar equalization
board said that profiteering dealers,
if reported, may suffer revocation of
their licenses for they are still under
the control of the federal food ad-
min;sti'ation, who viii not cease TO
Sunccion until the senate signs The
peace treaty. Re charged tie apnar-
en5 shortage tc speculative export
ers" and belated orders from Gamers
and candy makers. Housewives were
boarding" sugar unnecessarily, be
said. New England having refined
sugar stocks sufficient to last six
months.
Sugar is abundant in the United
States and if it were not for profit
eers and nervous housewives encour-
aged to hoard it there would be
enough for every legitimate demand
and 80 days reserve supply in ad-
dition, declared Mr.. Zabriskie.
"The chief factor in this apparent
shortage, which is temporary" he
said, "has been the belated orders of
big fruit canneries and confectionery
factories which failed to anticipate
their normal demands and held off
ordering their sugar in the expecta-
tion that prices would be lower. They
knew the refiners could not sell
above the fixed price of 9 cents.
"Another element that, as yet, has
not affected the situation, is the ma
rine workers strike, which we hope
will be settled before the entire fleet
of sugar ships is tied up in Atlantic
and Gulf ports. Meanwhile, we are
reaching by radio at sea all the YES
sells possible and diverting them to
Cuba to bring back raw sugar.
"There is at present." Mr.. Zabris-
kie said, mo shortage of raw sugar.
The difficulty now is the capacity of
the refineries. Of the 2,630,000 tons
the United States sugar board con-
tracted to purchase from Cuba we
had still to receive on July 1 no less
than 100000 tons. In addition to
this we have access to 100000
more tons, including the best sugar,
which will begin 10 come in about
October l and the big cane crops Of
Louisiana and the insular possessions
of the United States.
"The situation is entirely satisfac-
tory SO far as the raw material is
concerned and I know the refiners
are doing their part for their plants
have been operating night and day,
and some on Sundays for months
past. In those parts Of the country
where local shortages exist it is true,
there is an inclination to profiteer,
but it is easy to fix the blame for
that. The refiner can not sell sugar
for more than 9 cents pound. The
wholesaler is obliged to ask a mini
mum profit Of 35 cents; so that the
retailer does not pay more than 1886
"a hundred. Every body, therefore,
would be able to buy sugar at a max
imum of II cents a pound and ! know
of chain stores selling it today for
less than 10 cents.

By Prof. VIM. H. Dawley.

By Prof. VIM. H. Dawley.
E~x-President Taft is a genial sort
of a soul. He is an optimist and means
good to everyone. He is of a judicial
temperament and weighs both sides Of
a question carefully. His patriotism
is unuestioned. His love for his coun-
try is such that he could not advise
her to a course that would bring her
i'll. 1t will be recalled that when Presi-
dent he gave the Negro the most lucra-
tive as well as the highest ranking
position ever held by a egro in this
country. ev~er-the-less he declared
that he would appoint no Negro to a
position to which white citizens OBJ
jected. That declaration, of course,
eliminated egroes from positions in
the South where they are in the ma
jority. If that policy were persistent
ly followed, egroes would hold no fed
eral positions any where in hte United
States. Wor no where in the United
States are white people clamoring fol
egroes to occupy lucrative Government
positions. E~x-President Taft favors
the amended League of Nations cove
name.
The present (absent) incumbent Of
the National Executive chair is spon
sor for the amendments and is urging
the acceptance of the amended consti
tuition by his countryman despite it,
recognition of Liberia and Haiti as
equals of the United States. However
in a crisis since Canada and Soutl

MI. and MIS-. Allen lau as OnelT
guests Icr dinner Sunday: Mr.. and
Mrs. Thtmas E. Allen of Kansas City,
MO. The commencement exercises of
Attacks School were held at the Rose
dale High School Friday evening. The
graduates delivered some of the best
and most forceful orations we have
ever heard from pupils graduating
fYtm a ward school. Prof. ]. P. King
If Sumner High School, Kansas City,
Kan. made a stirring address to the
graduates. His subject was The
Seven Points of an Educated Amer
ican, and he certainly brought out
those seven in such an interesting
manner that we are quite sure his
hearers were very much impressed.
Prof. Vaughn, superintendent Of the
schools, gave the certificates and said
that he was proud of those splendid
young people. Mr. Frank Rushton, a
member of the school board, made a
nice talk and told that among the
many things the board intends doing
for Attacks School for neXt year was
the installing If a steam heating plant,
beautifying the playground They are
also contemplating adding the work
of the first year high school course.
All this was received with much in
terest by the audience. In order to
do this there will have to be some
bonds voted and everyone will have a
chance to go to the polls and vote
July l. We hope that every Colored
person in our city will not fail to vote
that day, as we are living for the chill
dren and must work earnestly for
their advancement. . q. The graduates
were: Misses Estella May, Mary
Reed and Helen Williams; Messrs.
William Frederick Ingram, Ode SUIT
ties and Walter Williams Rev. d, A.
Holmes occupied the pulpit at the
evening services of the Pleasant Val
ley Baptist Church Sunday evening.
His text was taken from Genesis, Sd
chapter and 18th verse, subject, The
Fall of Man. which was one of the
best sermons we have ever heard in
our church. 1t was beautifully ar,
ranged, full of good thtught, and de,
livered with the spirit. We appreci'
ate having such an able minister visit
us as Rev. Holmes and our doors will
always be open at any time he de.
cides to come again. He is the bril-
liant pastor of Metropolitan Baptist
Temple, Kansas City, Kansas, and a
nan who is always doing something
for the Race, Rev. Holmes is a schol-
ar and a theolOgian. He and our pas
tor, Rev. j. r. Williams, exchanged
pulpits. The program rendered by
the young people who have graduated
in past years from Attacks School
Friday evening was very good. The
affair was given under the auspices Of
the Parent Teachers Association, and
we were very grateful to thtse splen
did young people who came back and
assisted us, Quite a neat sum was
realized from the refreshments. Mrs
Hazel Thomas of Chicago, H., is the

low countrymen that they could use
their own discretion in supporting him
tor q second term.
Now in the last four years, if not
before, the Negro has Enthusiastically
demonstrated that when it comes to
national danger or veal he unhesitat'
ingly subordinates his own interest to
what seems the public good.
Even the amended constitution of
the League of atoms as the egTo care
fully studies it, does not seem salts
factory, but since it has awakened such
violent and un%relenting opposition and
fierce attacks of the senior senator
from Missouri, it must be that some
hidden good in this c%onvenant has es-
capped the vigilant scrutiny of the Ne.
gro and that it possesses, because of
this unexpected opposition from a
source not too friendly to the Negro,
some merit that must enlist the favor
and support of the Negro.

ables him to appropriate time to his
