This is the portion of tliem that spoil us, and the lot of them that rob us. Isaiah 17:14. THE FIGHT OF Hie junta of Wall Street men who own the sugar refiner ies along the Atlantic seaboard, and who also own or control most of the cane sugar lands and plantations of Cuba And who tried to put over a lowering of the tariff rate on raw sugars, for their own, benefit, and against the interests of all the rest of the people of this country, and whose little game was knocked galley-west by President j Coolidge - i'A This Junta of commercial corsairs are to be given the fight of their lives, for there is rising in this country a de mand that they pay more instead of less to the United States, government for the privilege of bringing in their raw sugars. 1 They have been receiving the benefit of a joker in the commercial treaty the United States made with Cuba after ou country helped liberate joker is in the nature of a 20 Cuba on articles imported into the United States. , .The rate on raw sugars from Cuba, with the 20 per cent taken off, is 1.764 cents a pound. 1 Even so about a quarter of all our tariff collections are from sugars; and mostly from raw. sugars,. and these mostly from Cuba. ' There is a demand now being made, and it is being organ ized and will be pushed everlastingly, that the 20 per cent preferential in favor of Cuba be done away with For it benefits principally these Wall Street men of the American sugar trust. j It does not benefit the Cuban sugar farmers, for in 1922 , they received from this American sugar trust only $1.16 per l6o pounds for the raw sugar extracted from their caner while the American farmers received an average of $3.37 per 100 pounds for the sugar from their beets. J v The American people are going to hear a lot of this matter. It is one of the most important matters before them. It is a national problem. T The American people are paying for Cuban sugar an amount annually equal to the value of the crops from 6,844, 1(57 acres of our best irrigated lands Yet 2,000,000" acres of the same lands would grow the beets to make the sugar ; keeping all the $400,000,000 a year at home which we are paying out for Cuban sugar- And indirectly doing vast good to the farming districts growing sugar beets ; helping' all live stock industries and nearly all other industries. 4 Why should we not join in American people" continue to give a preference to a small group of Wall Street men who would turn on them and squeeze them to the limit if they could? j -. l Why not make the United States self sufficient in sugar production ! j - And why not have one or two or more beet sugar factor ies in Salem, and a score or more of them in the Willamette valley? - ' . :: j OUR NEIGHBOR " Santa Barbara is stricken. Earthquake, followed by fire and flood has laid waste property and claimed human lives in the devastation. No human power can check the destruc tion of the earthquake and in the path of its destruction both fire and water are set free, for further waste and suffering. Dark indeed is the future of those bereft of property, homes and loved ones as destruction ceases jand they can take survey of their losses and their necessities. Their losses it wDl be difficult to restore. But out of this gloom and dark ness, however tense; there comes a ray of , human light and h0pe. ; V- V i .

Attention is directed to both as presenting unusual and difficult problems while the mddicore student is passed by with little attention or com ment. The attitude taken usually toward this type is that he or she will get along well enough anyway. " - The very bright student who is able to learn his lessons in a brief time without much effort and has time for idleness, mischief, dreaming, is to the teacher with many pupils and classes, a real, problem. The average school makes little or, no allowance for this type of individuals with the result that there may be formed indolent habits of thought and vicious plans laid. There must be an outlet for non-directed, pulsating energy. Aiid for this misdirected energy the school c-'rJts renbra! loekstep procedure should be held respen- THE OHEGON STATESMAN, SALE!.!, OREGOII W. H. HadrMCirelatIam Xiufir KUlpJt JI.

' Dull students appeal to thf sympathy of -instructors usually and without any desire to accept more than the proper amount of attention they often occupy the larger part of the teacher's time and energy. Special schools and classes for the very backward boys and girls are furnished in some of the larger schools and more than the average number of subjects are allowed the exceptionally forward groups. And thefce provisions are wise but even they do not always take the place of small classes and individual-class instruction. But the boys and girls who are average in their studies are jthe central thought in this theme. They may be even geniuses. Of them Dr. James B. Angell for thirty-nine years rjresident of Michigan University, said: "During my whole career as head of this institution I have observed that the great majority of our graduates who have made unusual success of life have been young men and women who were of mediocre talents and means but who applied themselves Lto well-directed, persistent work while here."; A single case for example -a boy named Louis attended a primary school attached to the college at Arbois. He was by no means a brilliant student. When he entered college he was recognized as slow and so he was throughout his college career. But he developed vivid imagination and tre mendous powers of application, j V Half a century after entering college he entered the International Medical Congress in London where he was received by greater applause than was accorded the Prince of Wales. It was a tribute of scientists from all corners of the world to Pasteur, the man who through his research, has given to the world preventatives of illness and has thus lengthened life's span many years. The naturally bright student has a fine heritage. But he who works hard for his acquisition of knowledge and training, may turn his apparent handicap into a powerful ally. ; '..j k .

Her w voice hesitated ever so Blightly, and with intuition sharp ened by my desire to aid her, I looked quickly at Alfred, surpris ing a look of distinct embarrass ment in his eyes. And though Bess Dean outwardly impertuba ble, yet there was an indefinable something about her which re minded me of the days in Bay view when anything concerning her own class was brought into question. She as tense beneath her apparent carelessness, but there as also a little satisfied glint in her eyes which reminded me 'of the eyes of a cat just leav ing a jug of cream. Leila Is Puzzled. That I had stumbled upon a clue to the secret which I suspect ed Bess and Alfred shared, I was sure. Alfred's absent car had something to do with it! I told myself that I would not rest un til I followed to its end the thread I had grasped. - "Oh! In the garage., again?" X laughed with the understanding mockery one motorist generally accords another. "You ought to have our make." , Then we'd have to mortgage the house to pay for its keep," Alfred growled, "This is the only time the old bus has gone back on me for months." "What was the matter, run Into somebody, or did the motor cop conflcate it for speeding?" He started distinctly, and his eyes turned Involuntarily in Bess Dean's direction. a Then he brought them back quickly ' to mine, and laughed so noncblantly that I wondered if I had Imagined his momentary perturbation, "Nothing so thrilling," he said carelessly. "I was taking a, chap home night when we were detain ad iv conference, and .the thing simply died at first. Found out that the' generator as gone, and w had to be towed to AmityriJle. There's been- some delay about the repair. Sometimes I think I'll trade It in and get a new one." Leila had leaned forward in her chair with puzzled eyes. You're Going to Have Your Drive' "Amity. Alf?" she said. "1 thought yon said before the car was in a Farmingdale garage?" "Did I say Amityville?" he countered quickly, but I had seen the nervous twitching of his eye lids at her question. "How stup id of me! I meant Farmingdale, of edurse." . "You probably were thinking of that wonderful stretch of road across the island there," Bess Dean put in . smoothly. "Do you remember, Lelia, the day we all drove along that road and ate our lunch by the roadside?" "Oh, yes, I remember it " Le ila assented,; and I guessed- that the memory was anything but a pleasant one. Alfred finished her sentence with a reminiscent laughl ' ... "That's the day I taught you to drive. Bess, when you so nearly wrecked us coming home. No wonder : you both remember it. But, Mrs. Madge, you're going to have your drive even if the old bus is out of commission. The garage man here is a good friend of mine, and he usually has a car he can lend for an hour or two. I'll just telephone him and find out." He walked to the telephone and rang up the garage. Under ordin ary circumstances I would have protested against the extravagance of this arrangement, but I made no pi'otest now. It would have been to obvious for me to press my company upon Bess and Al fred for a dreary train journey to and from Bayview, while I already had signified my desire for " a drive; And I, whatever happened, meant to give my former collea gue n'o opportunity for a trip a eux with Alfred this evening at least. ; Did You Ever Stop V To Think? By E. B. Waits, Secretary Shawnee, Okli, Board -of Commerce That to help make your city grow, you should advertise every good thing in it. That to make yonr business grow, you should do the same thing; what is good for your city is good for you. That all business men should "advertise. ; That then they should follow it Up with more advertising to keep a steady, growing business. ' That they should let the people know what they have to sell. That by so doing, they can in crease their business; increased business means more profits. That the buyers knowthat they get a square deal frouv the mer chant who advertises, f That people who believe "a penny saved is a penny earned," read the ads. That the advertisers always an ticipate your needs; read the ads. That the advertiser orders stocks in advance of actual de mand byadyertislng. That buying advertised goods gives a sense of joy and satisfac tion. , When you buy from persistent advertisers, yvm know what yon are buying and you know that they are as good as advertised.

COL. COOLIDGE BETTER PRESIDENT'S FATHER SHOWS IMPROVEMENT IX HEALTH PLYMOUTH, Vt., June 29. (By Associated Press.) Steadily gaining ground in his uphill battle for life, Colonel John Coolidge, the president's 80 year old father, was resting comfortably tonight, ap parently out of danger. Through out the day and night the presi dent and Mrs. Coolidge, who hur ried here yesterday from Swamp scott, remained within call, en couraged by the frequent assur ance of physicians that the crisis lassed. They were told, however, that the patient's age, the faulty action of his heart and other infirmaties made complications possible and that It would be another 24 hours, at feast, before he would be out of danger. It also was emphasized that the operation on the bladder yesterday was an emergency one and that there might be a recur rence of conditions which brought the colonel near death, that might cause surgical treatment imn.,. alive.

It was based on a case which had been carried to that conrt from a lower court for the defamation of the character of a woman. In dealing with the case ' the court said: "HF' "Talebearers are as bad as tale makers. ' Every ' repetition' of slander originated by a third per son is a wilful publication of it, rendering the person so repeating it liable to action and it is no de fense that the speaker did not originate the slander, but heard It Oregon then - " ' Salem Your home planned, built and financed, on your lots of ours.
