Now, About that Sugar.
(Philadelphia Recorder)

The sugar situation is not explained
by the fact that the government did
not take the entire Cuban crop, or by
increased consumption in this country.
The Cuban crop is more than a million
tons in excess of the usual; our beet
sugar crop is larger than before; it is
almost certain that Europe will pro.
duee more sugar than during the war
and with the increase of shipping il
should be possible to get sugar from
the East Indies. We are not getting
comprehensive information, taking in
to account all the factors. A temporary
shortage may be explained, though even
that is doubtful, and no adequate rea
sons are given for predicting famine

JUST A WORD.


Have you noticed il, or rather
them the errors and bulls in the
Dispatch? The Dispatch does not
like to call attention to its own de-
ficiencies, but when they are not our
fault; when they are beyond our pow
er to control. we feel that some ex-
PLANTATION is necessary. We are short
of force in our mechanical depart
ment and it has been impossible to
get men. Advertisements for men
have brought no replies; then other
advertisements have not been pub
lished by papers which claim that
they were running ads for help of
their own.
The war is responsible. and and
the great supply of men promised
after the war was over, has failed to
materialize. True. only half OF our
military force has again entered in
dustry, but there has been such a de-
mand for men that their return has
had no appreciable effect upon the
demoralized labor situation. The
printing industry has been hit especi-
ally hard. Thousands of men have
left II and sought other occupations.
Few men learned it in the past four
years. The result is that the trade is
short. wages are high and men are
hard to get.
The Dispatch is not going backward
however, but it is going forward. If
we cannot get men we are going to
employ women. With this end in
view we have placed orders for ad-
ditional machinery to enlarge our
productive force. Young ladies who
have good knowledge of English and
and who have a knowl-
edge OF typewriting will be put on
these machines with the view of solv
ing the linotype trouble. Then we
will install modern labor saving
presses, '1n fact the latest word in
printing machinery to help in the
acute position in which the Dispatch
finds itself, When these machines
are installed we expect to be "over
the top" Till then you will have to
bear with us--take what we can fur
nish.

CONFISCATE VEHICLE
WHERE LIQUOR RIDES
CAN LAY IN STOCK FOR PRI-
VATE USE. BILL TO ENFORCE
DRY LAW TAKING SHAPE.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The pro-
vision Of the prohibition enforce
ment bill permitting search of pri-
vate homes for contrahand liquor
when warrant was sworn to "by
at least two creditable persons" was
stricken out today by the house jul
dietary committee. The system of
search as provided in the espionage
act was substituted.
Under provisions of the enforce
ment act as tentatively modified to-
day in committee, transportation of
intoxicating liquors in automobile,
aircraft or other vehicle would prove
an expensive undertaking if the own
er is caught. AS the bill originally
stood it stipulated that the vehicle
should be sold at public auction and
the difference between the selling
price and the amount of the fines and
costs should be refunded to the own
ers. The committee changed the pro-
vision today to provide that any sur
plus which might remain after the
fines and costs were paid should be
given to the state.
The committee also tentatively
agreed to eliminate minimum penal
ties attached to violations of the law,
for first offense, to permit the judge
to use his own discretion in sentenc-
ing the offender.
A mans right to store liquor in his
home for the dry period after July
list stood up today against an attack
on that provision of the prohibition
enforcement bill before the house
judiciary committee.

through the flotation of loans.
"The government will have to have
more money" said Mr.. Day. "The
secretary of the treasury himself told
me that night before last"
When asked when the new govern
ment loans might be expected, Mr..
Day answered:
81 could not say as to that, but
they are not very far off. The gov
eminent must have the money, and
it is of Importance to everybody that
it should have it."
