Washington. Nov. 3.-The bill
proposing continuation of federal
control over sugar during 1920.
was reported today to fhe senate
and placed on the calendar with :
view to, early action.

Nary, Republican. Oregon, author

age. declared "a serious situation
will ensue' if the sugar equaliza-
tion boards control over sugar is
discontinued.
Minority views. presented by
Senator. Ransdell, Democrat, Louis
lana. expressed agreement in the
plan to continue tile sugar board
with authority for its purchase OF
Cuban sugar. but opposed giving
the. board power to buy and sell do
nestle sugar as an unwarranted
interference with natural ecohoRir
laws. and as likely to unduly de
press prices of Louisiana and other
domestic sugar.
Present Condition Due to Fearl
Senator McNary's reported sug
gested that present conditions were
largely psychological, due tn fears
OF future shortages.
Data in the hands of the commit
tee. the reported stated, showed
that about 10000 tons Of Cuban
aud domestic sugar was available
for distribution until Jan. l, which
should meet the needs Of the coun-
try. The world shortage Of sugar
was estimated at 1000 900 tons ovel
the pre-waf average.
.'The Cuban crop" the report
stated, "if not controlled by this
government, working through the
sugar equalization board. will sup.
ply a field for competition with the
resultant effect of extraordinary
high prices for raw sugars with
corresponding reflection on In
creased prices to the consumer"
Senator McNary said the com
mittee believed that two-thirds o!
the Cuban sugar crop remaining
could be acquired reasonably al
though at prices higher than II tbs
board had been authorized to buy 4
last summer. In this connectio,
the report detailed failure Of Pres
! ident Wilson to approve recOmmen
dations Of the board that the Cubai
crops be purchased.

PALMER SENDS
MINERS REPLY
ON INJUNCTION


Washington. Nov. S.-Attorney
General Palmer today informed
coal miners who protested against
the strike Injunction that the gov
ernnent stood ready ito do every
thing in its power to facilitate an
inquiry into the merits of the con-
troyersy, but in the meantime the
Law must be enforced and combi-
nations to stop production cannot
be tolerated"
Mr.. Palmer's statement, made in
reply to a telegram from the union
local at Glencoe, Ohio, to Preri-
dent Wilson was taken to indicate
that no attempt would be made by
The government to settle the wage
controversy until the strike was
called off.
Miners Protest.
The miners telegram said:
I'VE. the members OF local union
3,7GS. United Mine Workers Of
America feel justified in resenting
your action taken against us in our
Just demand for a living wage and
we are solidly behind our interna-
tional officials in their action
taken"
Palmer's Reply.
Replying for the president, At
torney General Palmer said:
Your telegram to the president,
protesting against the action Of the
government on the ground that it
is taken against your Just demands
for living wage is based on b mis-
conception OF the facts. The gov
ernment has not taken sides either
for or against the mine owners or
the mine workers or their de-
mands In the wage CONTROVERSY.
The law provides that no two per-
l'sons prior to the proclamation OF
peace, shall agree Or arrange with
each other to restrict the output or
supply OF coal. The government
is insisting that this law should be
fobeyed by both the mine owners
and the mine workers. The wage
controversy can be settled withou,
concert Of sction to stop the output
OF the mines, and the government
islands ready now. rs It has stead
lily In the past to do everything In
Its power to facilitate an inquiry
into the merits Of the controversy
but In the meantimG the law must
be enforced and combinations tc
stop production cannot be toier.

HUGHES ENDORSES TREATY
WITH RESERVATION.

WASHINGTON, July 2s.-Charle.
f. Hughes, Republican, candidate in
the last Presidential election, ha:
drawn up a resolution which he offers
for adoption by the United States
Senate, consenting to inclusion Of the
League Of Nations in the peace treaty
but suggesting four reservations to
prevent Sacrificing the essential in
terests of the United Stats"
This became known today when cor
respondence between Mr.. Hughes and
Senator Frederick Hale, Republican,
of Maine, dealing with ratification Of
the treaty, was made public.
While finding antiquities in Article
! and Is, dealing respectively with
withdrawal from the League and
questions of purely domestic nature,
Mr.. Hughes takes chief exception to
Article p and 10, which concern the
The Columbus dispatch. (Columbus, Miss.) 19??-1922, 1919-08-03

article is far from clear, according to
the writer.
Mr. Hughes also agrees with Mr..
Root that it would be desirable to
eliminate Article X with its guaranty
to preserve against external agrees
sion the territorial integrity of all
members of the league.
II still think that Article x is a
trouble breeder and not peace max
err" says Mr.. Hughes, adding that
democracies cannot promise war
after the manner of monarchs" and
that lit is idle to attempt to commit
free people to the making of war in
an unknown contingency where such
war may be found clearly opposed
to the dictates of justice"
Article X is Objectionable because
it is an illusory engagement" de-
clares Mr. Hughes and we should not
enter into guaranty which would
expose US to charge of bad faith.

Some Say
Advertising Did 1t

There is measure of truth to that But
the advertising was not of the usual type.
The Essex received the kind of advertising
that is always effective. No product has been
advertised as it has been that has not become
q faVorite.
Its advertising has been the voluntary
praise of tens of thousands who recognize
Essex qualities.
Just as it has never been necessary to
stimulate a want for an automobile because
Ms utility is recognized by everyone, SO it has
not been necessary to more than cell stten-
ton to the Essex.
The Columbus dispatch. (Columbus, Miss.) 19??-1922, 1919-08-03

That is about the only question buyers now
ask,
Factory production is now steadily in
creasing. 1t is close to q hundred cars a day.
Buyers must have some patience. They must
not expect to get an Essex off the floor when
ever they may decide 10 buy. Wanted articles
are not usually so easily obtained.
All dealers ere forced to enter orders and
make delivery in rotation. The man who
buys today will get his Essex sooner than be
who delays.
But isn't it worth while to take ones turn
in buying such an important article as an
automobile, and especially when the car is so
universally praised as is the ESSEX

give and workable code of road laws
