SUGAR AND TIIK FHILIH'INKS
SUGAR interests of Cuba, a foreign country, are demand
ing that the United Stales government shall limit the im
portation of sugar from the Philippine islands, which are
an integral possession and part of the United States. In
other words we arc asK'ed to penalize our own sugar indus
try for the benefit of a foreign sugar industry. And it seems
not beyond the. range of possibility that the thing may be
done, crazy as it appears.
The reason why the agitation for it is formidable is
that Cuban sugar interests are largely financed from the
United States. These interests have a rich and powerful
lobby and command an attentive ear on the part of tariff
makers of congress. Their persuasions may not prove suc
cessful but they are already gaining earnest attention. j
Philippine sugar interests are protesting, as well they j
may. They contend that the i'lulippines arc enliuea lo me
same treatment accorded any other state or territory. Ob
viously a contention on that basis is sound. We do not set
up a tariff barrier against any state. Why set one up against
one of our most important insular possessions?
Cuba, through the influence of the same lobby which is
trying to limit importations from our islands, already en
joys a preferential rale of duty on her sugar exports to the
United States. She pays 20 per cent less than other foreign
countries do. Our islands possessions, Hawaii, Porto Rico
and the Philippines, as well as the Louisiana cane-sugar
growers and the Middle West beet sugar growers, are all de
manding that this duly be raised; that full protection un
der the tariff be invoked against Cuban sugar. But while
contending for this the beet-sugar interests are fighting,
like the Cuban sugar interests, for restriction of imports
from the Philippines. It is altogether a mixed up contest.
Secretary of State Stimson, who is our most recent ex-
gnvernor general of the Philippines, appeared before the j
house ways and means committee to testify concerning the
proposal to limit Philippine sugar imports. He said:
.. . The attempt lo reHlilet freedom of trmle between the 1s-
lamia anil Ihe Unlled .stales represents about the worst pos
sible batkv.linl step that could be taken in American policy.
The Aue-i'lcan liars stands today, not only tor Individual
freedom, but tor fret d..,tn of trade for all people under that
- tl.tK; and so lontr as we retain theso Islands under that flae. we
rru in duty bound to kIvu them the udvantitKu of trade with
Ihe same country.
And that, one cannot but think, is an obviously sound

HANDS ACROSS THE SEA
From t!ie University of Oicyon at Euycne, comes tliis in
teresting story: m
"1 lure for the diml purpose of promoting friendly rel.itions
between the United fita.ci and Japan and to tfuin a knowledge
of sociology mid social conditions in this country, Yoski Otsuka
of Tokyo, graduate of W'ascda University, has enrolled in the
graduate school of the University of Oregon.
"Although he has only been here n few weeks Mr. Otsuka
is already active in promoting friendly international relations.
Acting upon his theory, he has obtained the names of all stu
dents of the University of Oregon and hns sent them to Wasccta
University students. These students will then send small cifts to
their fellow-students here, and an exchange of correspondence isi
expected to follow.
Such student hands across the sea
Will help to make the nations free
from racial hnte anil prejudice.
And bring about an age of bliss.
Such friendship lies will bind our hearts
And inroduce exchange of arts,

THE BIRD OF THE WEEK
(By Louis Albert Banks)
(Cut out this block each week
and you will soon have an Inter
esting bird book c your own.)
THE MUD HEN
By Icon's Albert Banks
The mud hen, as ll Is almost uni
versally called, is really a coot,
LhouKh often shot by hunters for
a duck. It ranges through all
Nortn America, though it is rather
scarce on the Atlantic coast. It
abounds In the Mississippi valley,
and is quite plentiful west or the
Rockk'B whereever there is stat;
uant water or marshes. It is a sort
of mixture between the waders and
the swimmers. Its feet, like those
of the Krebe, are lobed, enabling
it to walk on floating vegetation
and over soft soil with great easo,
and to swim more readily among
reeds. A groat many go to sum
mer in Canada. They spend their
winters In the states bordering on
the Gull of Mexico. It is our only
marsh bird with a white bill. It
has a funny habit of nodd . lis
head with every stroke it
swims. It is from fourteen to six
teen inches long; a slate eoior;
very dark on head and neck; light
er on under parts; edge of wings
and space below the fail white; bill
ivory white with two brownish
spots near Its tip. Legs and feet
pale green, the latter with scallop
ed lobes. .It feeds on snails and
worms and all sorts of vegetable
matter. The nests are beautifully
constructed of dead fushea and
grass, and are little Islands fasten'

TRIBUTE PAID
TO MEMORY OF
EDW. VON PESSL
it was with reverent hearts that
a host of frauds gathered Sunday
at tiie Iouglas Funeral Home lo
pay tribute to the memory of our
friend and brother, Edward Von
Pessl. With his passing, the com
munity had last a good c tizen,
and the church to which he be
longed a loyal member and faith
ful brother. To know him was
to love him. and those with whom
ihe came in closest contact, were
the ones who had the privilege of
knowing and understanding his
! irue Christian character. He never
t red in doing for -others. Always
forgetting self, and no task was
too great for him to undertake.
It was a great privilege to be calied
his friend. Hh lived a life of up
: Tightness and honor, and while we
: will miss him here, we have the
assurance that he has gone to his
reward for which he worked so
faithfully here with us, and as the
days and months go by his name
will be on our lips many times,
! and the good deeds he HCrompiish-
ed be treasured in our hearts.

Old humble mud hen, in the reeds
You seem to be some kind of
weetls.
Suppose if we but knew your use.
You would be free from much
abuse.
You are a modest little thing
You never tiy to shout or sing,
But are always on the job
Sometimes you swell to quite a
mob.
You have no beauty to attract
You're commonplace, to be exact;
And yet you are a gentle hen, j
Seem quite at home with friendly i
men.
You're not much worth to cook or
eat
A most indifferent kind of meat.
You're quite a chatterer at taiK,
And very funny when you walk.

And that's sufficient for the case.
