POOR TIME TO ARGUE

If the pursuers of the sugar.
bandits stop to argue about the
tariff, the thieves will get away.
The present tariff on sugar, which
is from "a to l Ia cents greater
than the Underwood tariff, has no
more to do with the sugar raid
than it has to do with the price Of
bananas.
Under the former tariff this coun-
try saw the greatest profteering
in sugar the world has ever known;
sugar sold in some localities as high
as 35 cents a pound. There was
no more excuse for that price than
there is for the present price.
In Canada, which has no Ford
ney-McCumber tariff, sugar is whole
sailing at 10 and IL cents a pound.
In the Liverpool market cane sugar
is quoted at IL cents pound, and
n London, 1850 cents.
1t is the sugar gamblers that are
doing the dirty work, not the tariff,
which is merely high enough to
save our domestic beet sugar in
dustry from destruction by foreign
competition when prices go below
cost of production in this nation

Battle Still Raging at Santiago
Roosevelt's Riders Suffer Most in

SNAKE LOST MEAL

An employe of The Star is respon-

ing fight between water mocca-
sin and a catfish in the waters of
the Eastern branch at Berwyn, Md.
To reach the car line from his su-
burban home it is necessary to cross
the branch and travel a short dis
tance along it's banks. While MAX
ing the trip one morning last> week,
he declares. he saw a large water
moccasin with a catfish in his mouth
swimming toward Athe shore. He
STOPPED to watch this unusual sight
and was Joined by a man who got a
club four or five feet long with
which to dispatch the snake if it
attempted to crawl UP the bank.
. The snake made straight for the
shore and upon landing started to
climb the bank with his prize Then
blows rained upon its head caused
the snake to release the fish, which.
Topping a bit. fell into the stream
and swan away. The snake, stun
ned, also fell into the water and
was not seen again.

CHESAPEAKE BEACH

Hnrdheads were shopping around
the beach last week and, while if did
not require any drays to carry away
the catches, there were some very ac-
ceptable and satisfactory hauls. And
in this connection it may be we'll to
state that all the fishermen going to
the beach do not travel by train. Some
are using automobiles. which permits
their return to the city if the fishing
conditions are not promising or brings
them back with their catches before
any report can be obtained as to their
size. However. the results this
week show conclusively that the hard
heads are taking both the market
shrimp and the bloodworm for bait,
and they do not waste any time in
engaging the attention of the fisher
man.
