FATE OP THE ROBBER: Behold at eTeningtJde trouble; and
before the morning he is not. 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

In the hearts of man and women in other cities, in hamlet

THE AVERAGE
I In education two extremes prevail among individuals
the very bright and the very dull. 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

Why should the
- ?
' 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 . I .1 '

There was an accustomedness
about the little colloquy which

furtively at Leila. Her lips were
set in a stiff, pltlul little smile,
but her eyes held the tortured
look I had observed in them the
night before, and beyond her, lit
tle Mrs. Durkee signalled me a
distinct appeal, which I promptly
and gladly heeded.
"You're going to drive Bess

asked eagerly.' "Do you mind If 1

had a drive in the real country,

tray to Bess Dean her desire that
I should play gooseberry on the
journey , to I Bayview. "But I'm
afraid you'll . be disappointed
about, the drive; , go by train in
stead. The car isn't here."
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. ;

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

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.,.

It was based on a case which had

said: "HF'
"Talebearers are as bad as tale

While the court in this case
was stating the law of Georgia, it
stated the general principle of the
law as to slander in all the states. .
Repeating a false or slanderous
