SOUTH OMAHA, Oct. l-To th Kdltor
of Th Bee: In making a short reply to
1. a. ClR!ng, I will - say that h 1
away off hi ba when, he says t think
Taft could have prevented th war. In
Europe, for I did not even mention Taft'
nam In my article about th political
humbug of th day. My own Individual
Opinion la that th war could have been
prevented by On man In Europe, but
Ii may .have a. large Interest In the
Krtipp gun work and did not want to
stop It.
Mr. Blessing say 1 am prejudiced; then
ssy he will not admit that h I. That
Surely I a clincher. A man who will not
admit of prejudice Is Just th on who I
prejudiced every time. '.
Put returning to hi god, Roosevelt. I
Still Insist that he is th greatest polit
ical humbug of th day. When he wa
president h snubbed th suffragettes,
but when he wanted their vote h pre
tended to be with them. When he I In
a tta wher prohibitionists are strong
he I a prohibitionist; when In other
states h Is against them. He forced the
nomination of Taft upon the republican
party In .1901, then when he wag not able
to do the aam thing for himself In 1311
h got or and formed hi party of spite
to kill th party that mad him. Thla
year In Nebraska he favor th "pro
rresetv" ticket. In Pennsylvania ha
favor the democratlo ticket In order to
beat Senator Tenrose ator Senator Pen
rose bad gone out of his . way to help
Roosevelt seoura th republican nomina
tion In 1904. In New York h tried to bos
th republican nomination for Stat of
fice. In Main h ran a little sideshow
in order to beat th republican tat
ticket.
I could nam numerous other of hi
Inconsistencies to show what a humbug
ba Is, among' them being. the claim that
hi party . that he carrie In his .vest
pocket will carry Louisiana, when h
know It I not true. No on can how
that Roosevelt I not a political humbug
In every sense of the word. Roosevelt I

MATHEWS P. O., La., Oct. 4 To the
Editor of Th Bee: Just a few line as
to sugar and the sugar situation today,
Th sugar crop of 191S-14 was th larg
est la th history of th universe, be'ng
som 18.600,000 tons, and aa a consequence
sugar sold very cheaply throughout th
world, and especially so In America. Lou
islana raw sugar having sold as low. as"
X2.R2H per 100 pound In New Orleans at
th dock and Cuban sugar selling a low
as tl.STH per 100 pound, coat and freight
delivered. In New York en th wharves
plug th duty of LSI cent per pound.
Thaa low prices, wer due to, the faot
that the world' output of augar vaa a
little mor than It consumption. A th
pendulum- awing one way. ao It awing
back, and that thla la ao la best evidenced
by th fact that sugar la now higher
by nearly 10 per cent than nine months
ago. due to the following- facts:
Of the 13,500,008 tons of sugar produced
in 1911-14. nearly half, or about .000.0
tens, were produced in FT u rope from
sugar beet. Practically all th nations
