PACIFIC NOTE AND COMMENT The president and Mrs. Roosevelt on the first of the year opened the official season in the nation's capitol with a brilliant reception at the White House. For more than 100 years it has been an unbroken custom of the president of the United States to receive on New Year's day all the officials of the government located in Washington and such citizens as might care to pay their respects to the nation's chief magistrate. In addition to citizens of the United States, members of the diplomatic corps in Washington embrace the opportunity to extend personally to the president their own good wishes and the greetings of their governments. Report says never was the interior of the White House more beautiful than on that day. The mansion glowed with electric lights and floral decorations were disposed about the corridors and parlors. rare palms, potted plants and exquisite cut flowers were arranged effectively in every available space. Great rectangular urns, banked to the edges with dwarf palms and holly, were placed between the main corridor and the vestibule, forming a fitting background for the gorgeous uniforms of the Marine band with sixty pieces which was seated in the vestibule. "delegates would not have turned to Roosevelt," it adds: "He was not nominated for vice president with an expectation that he would ever be president, but, on the contrary, with the expectation and desire on the part of many of those leaders who supported him most urgently that it would make an end of his political career." All this is a delusion which is none the less a delusion because it is entertained by some well informed persons. If McKinley had not been the candidate in 1900 the chances were that Roosevelt would have been selected for first place. Roosevelt was strong throughout the west. He was mentioned for vice president by Kansas, Iowa and other states long before Senator Platt showed his hand in his efforts to get the candidacy for him. It was the country, particularly the west, which nominated Roosevelt. Senator Platt's work in that connection was only secondary and was insignificant. Neither Platt nor any other republican could have got up the enthusiasm for Roosevelt which was shown in the convention and which obtained for him the unanimous vote of that body. This is all plain enough to everyone who remembers the situation as it was in advance of the convention of 1900. There was no mystery about Roosevelt's nomination. It was foreseen long before the convention met, except that his own consent had not been gained. It is known that he was unwilling to accept the candidacy, preferring to PERKINS IN FAVOR OF RECIPROC Inability of the Cuban Treaty jure American Interests—N.Cause for Alarm. Senator Perkins was one of the dent champions of Cuban reciprocity in the senate. This in view of that the bill operated disadvantageously to California interests was suing, but his reasons for his action are ably set forth in his speech the bill. The senator spoke imply follows: The opponents of the Cuban treaty seem to me to be on wrong tack. They are like the ones who shapes the course of his vexed reckoning north-northeast reach a certain port, when the course, which he might have trained had he taken the troubled northeast. He therefore must be surprised if he brings up on the issue. It is asserted by those who call this treaty that it will injure great interests of the United States sugar, citrus fruits, and tobacco. I think that if they had taken "servation," as the captain reform should have done — in reality, ascertained the facts—their argument would not have been in danger of wreck. It is true that Cuba concludes with American sugar producers and cane, but our sugar growers protected against her by, I think, highest tariff which we enforce, amounts to 102 per cent ad valorem; the present prices for the same as beet sugar. mansion glowed with electric lights and floral decorations were disposed about the corridors and parlors. rare palms, potted plants and exquisite cut flowers were arranged effectively in every available space. Great rectangular urns, banked to the edges with dwarf palms and holly, were placed between the main corridor and the vestibule, forming a fitting background for the gorgeous uniforms of the Marine band with sixty pieces which was seated in the vestibule. Axono the representatives of the nations of the world at the reception was noticed that there was one objection. Colombia, one of its sister republics of the not represented. It was the present relations between the United States and the government of Colombia the absence of a representative of the South American republic was noted instantly. Indeed, among several of the diplomats it was regarded as significant. Gen. Rafael Reyes, the minister of Colombia in this country on a special mission, did not attend the reception, lest, it is understood his presence at the White House might be misconstrued by his people. He therefore had begged to be excused. Dr. Herran, the Colombian charge d'affaires, was detained at his residence by a bronchial affection. This time, as a year ago, a new country was represented for the first time in the line of diplomats. Last year it was Cuba; this year the republic of Panama, Bunau-Varilla being the accredited minister of the infant state who exchanged greetings with the president. Hon. Richard Olney is a candidate for the democratic presidential nomination. He has consented to allow his friends to boom his name, for they tell him that he never will have a better opportunity to gain the nomination and that the chances of a New England candidate being elected were never better. Olney declines to be interviewed. To all inquiries made by reporters he replied, "I have nothing to say." But he has told the democratic leaders of Massachusetts to go ahead and launch his boom. To Hon. John S. Williams, minority leader of the house, Olney has conided his ambitions and he has gained that congressman's support, with the assurances that a large part of the south will be for him in the convention. Olney has been gradually showing renewed interest lican could have got up the enthusiasm for Roosevelt which was shown in the convention and which obtained for him the unanimous vote of that body. This is all plain enough to everyone who remembers the situation as it was in advance of the convention of 1900. There was no mystery about Roosevelt's nomination. It was foreseen long before the convention met, except that his own consent had not been gained. It is known that he was unwilling to except the candidacy, preferring to serve another term or two as governor of New York. But the delegates of the convention forced the nomination upon him. The moment that it became probable that he would accept the candidacy every other aspirant withdrew, from the room. He was the only one that went from the moment that the delegates began to feel that he would be constrained to accept. Moreover, when the delegates at Philadelphia were giving their votes unanimously to Roosevelt for the second place in 1900 they had him in view for the first place for 1904. Private advices received this week by cable from Chinese seaports indicate an immense slump in the flour market of the Asiatic coast cities. Business has been dull for five weeks and for the last ten days practically no sales have been made for shipment across the Pacific. Cablegrams of inquiry reveal the fact that heavy stocks are not being carried at Hongkong, Shanghai and other cities. Some mystery exists as to the cause of the sudden cessation of buying operations by Chinese firms, which are usually willing to buy at any season when prices are right. The belief exists that preparations for the Chinese New Year celebration, which will commence early in January, and last several weeks, are the cause of the present situation. Shipments have been light for over a month past, because during this period they would arrive in China during the New Year's celebrations, when business is frequently backward. A number of interior mills catering to export trade are closed and several tidewater mills contemplate shutting down unless orders begin coming in within a few days. San Francisco exporters say that the Chinese flour market is dominated by three native syndicates, located at Hongkong and Shanghai. At the monthly meeting last week of the directorate of the Santa Ana lican could have got up the enthusiasm for Roosevelt which was shown in the convention and which obtained for him the unanimous vote of that body.

The fears expressed as to these fate of our domestic cane sugar growers arises from the fact it is feared that the market价 sugar may be reduced. If it is reduced, domestic sugar will course, feel any effect from this tion in the case of the captain, who their own fault.

In addition to the discouragement export there is a governmental leagagement of domestic consumptisugar in the sugar-producing cooof Europe, beginning with auin the allowance to the army allowed by the reduction of interses, resulting in the lessening oceto domestic consumers. Undepolicy it is estimated by oveFrench authorities that the fuccthe consumption of sugar in shall reach 600,000 tons-per annuGermany hopes to increase his sumption 1,000,000 tons.

Thus the tuto export has been banned in two waaccord when Gancer is not paid per year, equals that of England is 98 pounds, as says a German Max Shippel, in his book on suduction, Germany will have rewhatever for export. Another important fact is thas sugar-producing countries whibeen supplied by Germany, FranRussia are now, because of the tion in their beet-sugar supracreasing their purchases of canIt is noted that for the first twenty-five years England has sugar from Cuba. These facts mean this: The beet sugar will be imported in United States; that more of the sugar of the world will be consiforeign nations; that a larger proportion of Cuban sucgo to other markets than our own falling off in exports from becountries will relieve the uproach upon the sugar market of tha-which will not only prevent nill probably increase domestie which increase will surely comown consumption increases at ratio.

Senator Perkins was one of the archamps of Cuban reciprocy in the senate. This in view of the fact that the bill operated disadvantageous to California interests was surprisbut his reasons for his attitude suddenly set forth in his speech upon bill. The senator spoke in part as news: the opponents of the Cuban reciprocity treaty seem to me to be on the long tack. They are like the captain shapes the course of his vessel by reckoning north-northeast to a certain port, when the true use, which he might have ascertained had he taken the trouble, is the east. He therefore must not be rised if he brings up on the rocks. It is asserted by those who oppose treaty that it will injure certain interests of the United States—irr, citrus fruits, and tobacco. But link that if they had taken "an objection," as the captain referred to would have done—in reality, have retained the facts—their argument did not have been in danger of ship-rock. It is true that Cuba competes for American sugar producers, beet cane, but our sugar growers are directed against her by, I think, the best tariff which we enforce, which amounts to 102 per cent ad valorem at present prices for the same grade beet sugar. jam and jelly industry, largely for export. It would probably show that our per capita consumption nearly equal 1 here. *** The other foreign sugars are those which fix the price at which Cuban sugar will be sold here, for the cost to us has always depended on the cost of sugar at Hamburg, and will so depend whether Cuba sells us 1,000,000 or 2,000,000 tons or more a year. Cuba can get in our market only what we are obliged to pay in the world market. No matter how much she may pour into the American market, Cuba cannot change the price a shade. If she can produce cheaper than any other country on the globe, all her yearly product will not affect the American market, for we are compelled to buy two-thirds of our sugar from other foreign sources, and the price of Cuban sugar would conform to the price we paid her rival. If she were able to supply our entire consumption, the price of Cuban sugar would still be governed by the world price. She could not go above it and would not go below it. And this world price, plus freight and a duty of 102 per cent ad valorem, is the price with which our domestic producers have to compete. Cuban sugar does not enter into the price problem at all. What the Republican party has done for the domestic sugar-producing interests can be told briefly. In 1890 sugar was on the free list, and a bounty of 2 cents per pound was paid on beet and cane sugar produced in the United States. The Wilson-Gorman bill abolished the bounty and placed a duty of 30 per cent ad valorem on imported sugar. By the Dingley bill this duty was increased so that now it equals 98 percent ad valorem on the price of raw sugar in the New York market. Then there is this consideration. Whenever material increase in the duty on citrus fruits, from 12 per cent under the Wilson-Gorman bill to 71 per cent ad valorem, the present rate of duty. This increase was urged not on account of danger from Cuban competition, but because of that of Jamaica, which has large and long-established orange ceychards, on which greater and greater reliance would be placed as sugar growing diminishes, as has been the case for years, and as it will continue in the future. This bar against Jamaica oranges was effectual, and still remains at the very high notch at which we placed it. The Country Newspaper The weekly country newspaper is an institution by no means declining. If one may judge by the evidence of the recent newspaper directories, it never flourished so much as at present. It has a character of its own. Its place cannot be filled by any metropolitan publication. It is the intimate friend of its constituents. It has the atmosphere of its locality. Its angle of vision is that of its community, and this it truly reflects. Broad questions—state, national, international—it presents and considers as a part of its work of information; but these are subordinate to its own peculiar mission. The uprising in the Balkans, the breach in the British ministry, the scandals in the postal service at Washington, are dwarfed in actual present importance by the wash-out on the state road or the project of a new trolley connection. And these indeed, are the real living concerns of local life. It is the home matters that make up existence, and with these the country newspaper deals. We do not sufficiently recognize perhaps how great an influence for the preservation of the spirit of local self-government, which is the foundation Cuban treaty does not by any means put our producers at the mercy of Cuban planters; for the proposed relation will leave a protection of 78 percent on refusal, which should be the best tariff which we enforce, which counts to 102 per cent ad valorem at present prices for the same grade sweet sugar. The Cuba treaty depends on the adoption of economic methods in field and factory. Our farmers and beet-sugar manufacturers are not enterprising enough to adopt such methods and proper unprotected duty of 82 per cent, it is that they, too, have gone off north-northeast course, which, as the case of the captain, would be our own fault. The fears expressed as to the dolio-fate of our domestic cane and beet growers arises from the fact that we feared that the market price of car may be reduced. If it is not reed, domestic sugar will not, of course, feel any effect from the reducin the duty. The opponents of this treaty think that sugar prices are about to fall they got still farther away from their course. If they will read the accounts which come from our consuls in Europe, they will find that the results of the Brussels sugar conference mean newreck of their arguments. These results are already appearing in the abolition of the export bounty has used 42,620 acres to be withdrawn on sugar beet culture in Germany, 347 acres in France, and 80,298 acres Russia, and this in the present year, though the convention did not go over effect until September. And ally the effect is becoming observation exports from Germany, for it is meant out by our consul in Leipzig there was, for the first quarter of 1933, a decrease of exports of beet sugar England amounting to 63,000 long acres. In addition to the discouragement of import there is a governmental encouragement of domestic consumption of sugar in the sugar-producing countries Europe beginning with an increase in allowance to the army and followed by the reduction of internal tax resulting in the lessening of price domestic consumers. Under this policy it is estimated by eminentench authorities that the increase of consumption of sugar in France will reach 600,000 tons-per annum, and Germany hopes to increase her consumption 1,000,000 tons. This ought to really relieve the pressure of over-compete; but these are subordinate to its own peculiar mission. The uprising in the Balkans, the breach in the British ministry, the scandals in the postal service at Washington, are dwarfed in actual present importance by the wash-out on the state road or the project of a new trolley connection. And these indeed, are the real living concerns of local life. It is the home matters that make up existence, and with these the country newspaper deals. We do not sufficiently recognize perhaps how great an influence for the preservation of the spirit of local self-government, which is the foundation of our institutions, the country press of New England has been and is today. It is questionably a power. And it holds this power and retains this influence because of the sturdy honesty of the country editor. The country press is the ideal of independence. It is as a rule unpurchasable and incorruptible—Boston Post. Incorporation An enthusiastic meeting was held at Fullerton last week by a large number of citizens in favor of incorporation. After adjourning certificates of nomination were prepared for the following candidates: For trustees, P. A. Schumacher, C. C. Chapman, John Gardiner, E. R. Amerige, G. C. Clark, E. K. Boechley, A. M. McDermott, T. W. Cline, A. L. Smith, Jacob Stern. The five receiving the highest vote will be elected trustees. For city marshal, C. E. Ruddock, W. A. Barnes; for city clerk, G. A. Ruddock; for treasurer, J. E. Ford. The election will be held January 22nd. All parties and elements are invited in a common movement favoring incorporation, and it is expected it will carry by a large majority. Candidates were chosen from the best business men and largest property holders in the proposed city, which will consist of about eighteen square miles of the richest territory in Orange county, with a population of about 2500. A Very Close Call "I stuck to my engine, although every joint lached and every nerve was racked with pain," writes C. W. Bellamy, a locomotive fireman of Burlington, Iowa. "I was weak and pale without any appetite, and all run down. As I was about to give up I got a bottle of Electric Bitters, and after taking it felt as well as I ever did in my life." Weak, sickly, run-down people always gain new life, strength and vigor from their use. Try them. Satisfaction guaranteed by Hutchinson. Price 50c. Consumption Salt pork is a famous old-fashioned remedy for consumption. "Eat plenty of pork," was the advice to the consumptive 50 and 100 years ago. Consumption Salt pork is a famous old-fashioned remedy for consumption. "Eat plenty of pork," was the advice to the consumptive 50 and 100 years ago. Salt pork is good if a man can stomach it. The idea behind it is that fat is the food the consumptive needs most. Scott's Emulsion is the modern method of feeding fat to the consumptive. Pork is too rough for sensitive stomachs. Scott's Emulsion is the most refined of fats, especially prepared for easy digestion. Feeding him fat in this way, which is often the only way, is half the battle, but Scott's Emulsion does more than that. There is something about the combination of cod liver oil and hypophosphites in Scott's Emulsion that puts new life into the weak parts and has a special action on the diseased lungs. A sample will be sent free upon request. Be sure that this picture in the form of a label is on the wrapper of every bottle of Emulsion you buy.
