COUNTRY TOWN EDITORS.
Some Reasons Why They Are Nearly Al
ways Poor and Unhappy.

Although country editors are nearly
always poor. there are plenty of per-
sons who believe that half the para
graphs in a country newspaper are
paid for with enormous bribes, writes
the author of "A Country Town." in
the Century. There are always two
sides to every question. and whichever
side an editor falls on, the partisans of
the other accuse him of being
bought" 1t is little wonder, there
fore, that the editor is seldom a popu-
lar man; l never knew one who was,
and | never knew one who was not
often accused unjustly. Probably the
people believe in bribes TO editors be-
cause it is very rare editor who does
not accuse his opponent of being a
bribe taker, creating prejudice
against themselves and their calling.
Lazy and incompetent editors nearly
always explain the success of their
more vigorous opponents by declaring
that they carry on system of black
mail.
[ once visited in q large city the
newspapers which had long admired
almost with reverence and was sur
prised to hear citizen say that what
tho city really needed was better pa
pers; they would bring eastern capi-
tal." Every citizen of a country town
wants his locality doomed" to the
end that he may sell his $50 lot for
$500; he can appreciate how really
good paper might aid him in this, and
because his lot does not advance in
value as he thinks it should. he has a
grievance against the editor. He longs
for an editor with some snap in
him. l don't know what SNAP
means, but l know this is the quality
usually thought to be lacking. There
are more great men in every country
town than really exist in the entire
nation, and if they are not recognized
the local papers are of no account.
was once bothered good deal by a
certain man who said he could clean
more chickens in TN hour than any
other chicken-cleaner in the world,
and he wanted the fact mentioned.
Men who arc never suspected of great
ness by other people accuse themselves
of it to the editors. and when they re-
fuse TO mention this greatness they are
told that their columns contain great
deal of stuff not half so interesting.
1t has occurred to me that when a citl-
zen of country town becomes drunk
the first thing he does is to hunt VI

between them the right of precedence
belongs to the side having won the last
hole, and this right is maintained even
in the event Of divided hole and until
their opponents succeed in winning a
hole from them. A divided hole"
means that each side succeeds in ''hold-
ing out" as it is technically termed,
that is. in placing in the hole in an
equal number of strokes. This order of
play is kept up from hole to hole

These estimates give q small increase
over the production OF last season. The
sugar produced in the United States
has heretofore been from s per cent To
II per cent OF the amount consumed by
our people. Sugar is now SO cheap
that the consumption will doubtless be
much larger than heretofore, thus
making our imports of this article
larger than ever, until our sorghum
and beet sugar Industries become so de-
veloped as to supply considerable
part of the home demand.
The results attained during the pres
ent season with sorghum, together with
the marked success of the experiments
of the United States department of
agriculture in the application of the al
cohol process have attracted the atten-
ton OF capitalists both in this country
and in England. In the latter country
a strong company has recently been or
ganized for the purpose of obtaining
one factory for the next season. TX the
investment proves good the business
will be extended as rapidly as good busl-
ness Judgment will permit. So favor
able is the impression of this industry
in England at the present time that the
promoters of the enterprise have con-
tinually to decline offers of money from
those who desire to become associated
with them in the sorghum sugar In
dustry
Whether on account OF their inabili-
ty to draw satisfactory amount OF
money from Kansas on account OF our
prohibition laws, or from some other
cause, certain it is that within the last
week prominent members OF the whls-
XIV trust have been making a tour OF
inspection OF Kansas sugar mill prop
erty and cane lands.
One of the Kansas Farmer staf had
the pleasure OF meeting these represeu-
tatives Of the great interest which Is
prohibited in Kansas, and became well
assured that in the near future ttev
will want TO add suga- in Kansas 10

iect doubtless being sheckles for the in
vestOrs.
And still another combination: capi-
tai from New Hampshire with enter

Kansas has expected much, and has
made il impossible tor our home people
, TO install the industry as many at one
time fondly hoped. But the
very fact that the industry
presents the opportunity for large in.
vestments under capable management
makes 1t attractive TO foreign and other
large investors. The further fact tha'
there is no danger OF the sugar market
being overstOcked with the product o.

management. is looked upon by these
large investors as most desirable lea

BURGLARS CAUGHT.
All But One of the Gang Now Under
Arrest.


All But One of the Gang Now Under
Arrest.
All but one of the Abbott gang of
burglars are now either locked up in the
county jail or out under bail. Amos Abb
bott was arrested last Wednesday by
Detective Bosqui, who also managed to
capture, at Redondo Beach, George Alb
bott and Albert Alsevada. They are all
charged with burglarizing the Chinese
store of All Sic, on Los Angeles street,
where they got away with $500 in cash,
an opium pipe and several cloth and silk
garments.
Detective Bosqui was reasonably GER
tain yesterday of securing the person of
the last member of the quartette, a fell
low named Bush, who has been arrested
several times, but always ESCAPED con-
viction. AS long as two years ago he
was brought before Justice Stanton on
the charge of having stolen a DOCTORS
bag of surgical instruments. The evil
dence was all circumstantial, and Bush
had to be discharged. This time the
police claim to have secured enough evil
dence to make conviction certainty
provided Bush is caught.
