JUGGLING WITH SUGAR.

On election day in New York it was
reported that a politician in one pre-
cinct presented 81 pounds of sugar
to every voter. Where and how did
he get it, in the face of the widely
heralded sugar shortage?
An advertisement appeared in the
newspapers of Atlanta a few days ago
of the collector of internal revenue
notifying the public that on a certain
date he would sell at public auction
5000 pounds of sugar seized from
moonsliners.
About the same time a news dis
patch from New Orleans stated that
there were 1856 sacks of Cuban raw
sugar in the New Orleans harbor; that
1t was held on board ship because of
the longshoremen's strike; and that
$4,000 sacks in addition were due to
arrive on the following day.
The 5000 pounds of sugar seized on
the way to Illicit stills, says the At
lanta Constitution. represent the seiz-
ures of only one day in very limited
territory. adding: mo doubt many
more thousands of pounds are being
uSeu lot the same purpose every day.
The more than 10000 sacks of su-
gar being withheld from the well nigh
sugarless public because of the re-
fusal of disgruntled New Orleans
wOrkmen to unload it. or to permit
others to transfer it from ship to dock
is only part of enormous quantities OF
sugar that are being similarly with
held from the consumer by reason OF
strikes at New York and elsewhere on
the Atlantic and the gulf coast.
It was announced a few days age
that two dozen or more ships with raw
sugar had arrived at the port of New
York and were waiting to have their
cargoes discharged. The unloading
was being prevented by the striking
longshoremen.
While the masses Of the-people are
'orced to undergo privationS on &C.

peremptorily forbade the continue ton

never could get his contact with life

HEART AND BEAUTY
PROBLEMS
By MRS. ELIzABErn THOMPSON.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: Two years
ago / wrote you for advice. At that
time I was and am yet in love with a
married woman. You advised me to
go away. 1 did and just returned to
find L only love her more. / have
tried hard to forget her. but 1t seems
impossible. altho she does not en-
courage me in the least.
have met her several times since
came home and she treats me as
she always did. Lately. however,
she seems to feel sorry for me and
tells me some day things will be diff
ferent.
She works and provides for herself
and three children. Her husband
does not seem to care for her and
curses and abuses her and the chill
dren. She says she would leave him
only she is afraid that people would
talk about her.
If 1 went back into the army for
four years and contributed to her
support until L return to marry her.
do you think it would be a great
wrong? z. H
1 think the woman should get a
divorce since her husband curses and
abuses her and the children and
makes home an unfit place for them
to live in. 1t is very foolish of her
to worry about what people say. AS
long as she knows she is doing the
right thing. she should act independ-
emily and her confidence in herself
will keep people from talking. Cos
sip is cruel, but In this case would
be directed against the man and not
the woman.
Give up the idea of contributing to
her support while you are away. She
should not accept money from you
unless she is your wife.
/ believe you should go away again
and stay until she sends for you with
the news that she is free.

me of something that will mend

If the Kansas school teachers de-
sire. that positions on Ahe school text
book commission be filled by per-
sons who know something about
school books. it is entirely proper that
they should say so and say it in a way
that cannot be misunderstood. They
have no reason to be intimidated by
charges leveled at them by an inter-
ested newspaper, that they are work
ing in the interest of the book trust.
The state publication of school books
will stand on it's merits and is not de-
pendent upon the support of one
newspaper. Neither can it be set aside
by any particular class of citizens even
if they actually wish to do away with
it. In proposing to announce their po-
sition to prospective candidates for
governor of Kansas the teachers are
entirely within their rights. A simf-
lar course has been pursued by bodies
of citizens in almost every state cam
paign for half century. No candi-
cate is compelled to heed the wishes
of the teachers.

A Man rs n Rock.
Theologians have quarrelled for
centuries, over the exact meaning of
the Masters praise of Peter, who at
his best was a rock, and at his worst
shifting sand. Peters confession re-
vealed Peters character at its high
est; and his conviction proved his
spiritual illumination.
There is a sense in which even God
has to do all of his building upon hu-
man lives; and that in his eyes every
rock-Christian is a foundation-stone
of the Kingdom. This is one of the
prOIunQltleS OIL our Idllfl-ln6 1nQ1S-
pensableness of man to God. Man is
not worm; he is not even "a little
lower than the angels" for the pass
age in clearer translation, makes man
a little lower than God! One proof of
this is in the present lesson, which re-
veals man as possessed of the power
to apprehend God. Nobody is up to
his highest level who is not cultivat-
ing his spiritual vision. In graphic
phrase, the apostle describes this state
or unawareness of God as being
dead"
Our high hours come to us we
know not when. What began as an
ordinary daily conference of his dis
ciples with Jesus, ended in the mo-
mentous confession of Peter. Jesus
accepted and sealed the Judgment of
his apostle. The occasion seems to
have been critical with him. Some
writer's call it our Lords first Pas
sion. How runs the story: From
this time Jesus began to explain to
his disciples that he must go to
Jerusalem and be put to
death, and on the third day be raised
to life again.
Thenceforth the Master walked ever
in the presence of Gethsemane and the
cross.

attitude came when they thought they
saw an opportunity of embarrassing

coal strike. If peace can be brought

claim might be set up that their con-

1t seems that somebody is juggling
with the sugar supply and a way to
stop 1t should be found. The candy
makers obtain all the sugar they want.
There is an abundant supply of sugar
in existence but the housewife can
get it only in small quantities and at
exorbitant prices. The government
owes it to the people to take its hands
off sugar or else see that it reaches
them in sufficient quantity to meet
their requirements and at reasonable
figures.
