THE TRAIL OF SUGAR
HE MORE the lid is lifted
from sugar trust pllferlngs
tbe more the mess smells to
heavpn. From 1894 to 1909
the frauds have continued without
Interruption. To the short weight
thefts of customs duties has been
added the proven theft of water
from the city of Brooklyn. The
fwater thefts - aggregate $750,000,
. jbut a $25,000 campaign contribu
jtion to Tammany in the McClellan
felection silenced prosecution.
1 1 The trust's confession of guilt by
--payment of ?,000,000 aa a com
Jpromlse of the government's prose
jctitlon is now discovered to have
Jlcen a most effective stratagem.
The compromise covers all the steal
ings from 1894 to 1909, and delivers
tbe trust from prosecution for its
crimes during that period, stealing
that aire estimated at anywhere from
six to ten times what the government
collected.

ILLUMINATING AND PERTINENT
0
NE OP the favorite amusements
of Speaker Cannon these days
is the. reading of Insurgents
out of the Republican party
which party he claims by right of
capture. Incidentally, he insists
that any Republican congressman
who is not for Cannon for speaker
and not in favor of the rules of Can
nonism, is not a Republican. In the
three cornered fight in the Sixth II
linois, a Cannon congressman was
elected Tuesday 'to fill Lorimer's un
expired term, and a speech made by
Cannon in the campaign is both In
teresting and pertinent. An Inde
pendent Republican candidate was
nominated and made opposition to
Cannonism the issue in his opposi
tion to the regular nominee. 'In his
speech Cannon 'eaid: "If you are
determined not to vote for . Moxley,
'the Cannon Republican, go and, vote
ror Kyan, me uemocrauc canai
date." )
It was publicly charged, and Is
doubtless true, that the Democratic
bosses and the bosses of the Cannon
wlag of the Republicans were in
league for the defeat of the Insurgent
Republican. It was by such a coali
tion, with Tammany Democrats, if
accounts are true, that Cannon se
cured a new lease for his rules and
another term in the speakership
when the Insurgent revolt tn tbe
lower house had him defeated at the
frpecial session. The utterance In
the Chicago speech Is confirmatory
of the Tammany deal, and tbe Tam
many deal Is confirmatory of the at
tltvde of Cannon in the Chicago
eprb. The two are a key to. the
real chararter of Csmtion. HU plat

scant, foul air, without food and
but little if any i water, with but
slight hope of rescue, doomed to a
slow, . agonizing death In this fate
ful tomb could any situation be
more terrible? Some doubtless be
came insane, and thus perhaps suf
fered less. Some, as Is the nature
of, certain types and temperaments,
may have become savage and merci
less to weaker ones. Some prayed
incessantly with what faith they
could muster, but in vain?. Sudden
drowning in shipwreck . at sea, or
suddent death from fire, holds no
such terror as this lingering death
In a cavity of a mine, the end com
ing as. a relief only after 'days of
torture.
Again, as is always asked after
such tragedies, are they not prevent
able? Or at least could they not
be rendered far less frequent? There!
are many of them In this country to
one In Europe, indicating that the
mine owners of this country have
not taken the precautions that Euro
pean mine owners have. And if
they have not taken all precautions
possible, what a terrible burden of
black guilt rests upon them.

No Commission Necessary.
Portland, Or.. Nov. 23. To the Editor
of The Journal' With reference to the
agitation that a public service com
mission be created to control and regu
late the public utilities in Portland. ,
As a taxpayer, I want to enter an em
phatlc protest against such a move, be
cause
1. The city Is not of .sufficient size
arid has not so largo a number nor so
extensive a system of public utilities as
to warrant the creation and expense of
such a commission.
2. It would entail an unnecessary ex
pense, and the taxpayers now, a. major
ity of whom are paying for homes, have
unusually heavy burdens to bear be
cause of the rapid grtiwth and conse
quent rapid development of the city.
8. We now have a body amply able
and having the authority to control and
regulate the public, utilities In the city,
namely, the council and the mayor.
4. Tha council and the, mayor are not
going to . surrender any j of their pre
rogatives without a struggle.
5. The mayor has ample power, and
means to coiripel the public utility cor-
poratlona -to perform and : f tilfllL Jlielr
duties. If he will but act. Relief should
be had at once, and not delay matters on
the plea that the president of the street
railway system Is in the east What a
specious excuse for the mayor to gve
as a reasonTor his inaction!
6. If it la' Mayor Simon's avowed pol
icy to keep the expense of the city down
to a low point, why does. he not compel
the railway company forthwith to per
form Its duty with respect to the car
service we east aiders should have, and
save the taxpayers of the. east side car
fare used and time spent in attending' In
dignation meetings and the wholly un-W
necessary expense of another commis
sion, when we now have so many com
missions and boards that I venture to
state no cltlsen bf Portland can tell off
hand to, what board or commission or
department this or that function be
longs.
7. The more boards and commissions
we have, the more will responsibility be
dlvldod, and the more difficult will H
be to place responsibility when It Is
sought to do so. i
We spend so 'much tlsne endeavoring
to learn what we wish to or should do
to remedy an evil, and then seeking the
means to accomplish the end. that our
energy is pracucany spent and the peo
ple nave Become tired or the whole mat
tar batore th method we hare adopted
has begun to have any remedial effect,
if It ever doe. In this case we must
create a commission before wa may
have good car service, or. at the earliest,
nothing can be done until Mr. Josaalyn
return from the eat. .
In municipal affairs reeponalhlllty
should be centralized and when rallrf
arrecung or concerning a public utility
ia sougni. ii wouin not be a difficult
matter to determine upon "what depart
ment of the trovemment the responsibil
ity and duty devolve.

Skepjticism of Educated Men By Ralph WalJo Emerson
(Brom a lecture on "New England Re

March 3. 1844.)
When the literary class betrays a des
tltution of faith, -It Is not strange that
society should be disheartened and sen
sualized by unbelief. What remedy?
Life must be lived on a higher plane.
We must go up to a higher platform, to
which we are always Invited to ascend:
there the whole aspect of - things changes.
I resist the skepticism of our edu
cation and of our educated men. I do
not bcleve that the differences of opin
ion' and character In men are organic.
do not recognize, beside the class- of
the good and the wise a permanent class
of skeptics, otf a class of conservatives or
Of mallgnants, or a class or materialists.
I do not believe in two classes. You re
member the story of the poor woman
who Importuned King Philip of Mace
don, to grant her Justice, which Philip
refused: the- woman exclaimed,-"! -ap
peal;" the king,, astonished, asked to
whom she appealed: the woman replied,
"frorp Philip drunk to Philip sober."
The text will suit me very well. I be

man in two moods In Philip drunk and
Philip sober: . I think according: to the
