Our NEW

The first Monday IN January is the
beginning of the official year in Mime
sofa, and the new county and state
officers begin their terms to-day. In
the county there is little change. A
Democrat succeeds Mr.. BELL as regis
ter of deeds, and Mr.. O'BRIEN takes the
place of County Attorney EGAN. JAMES
j. EGAN, who not very many years
ago was a poor, friendless boy in st.
Paul, becomes II of the judges of our
district court. He has had wide ex-
perience as a criminal lawyer, possesses
great natural legal insight, and is uni
Versally popular because of his social
qualities and kindness of heart and
manner. The duties of his new position
Will be more eXacting in their detail
han those of the office which he laws
Iown, and as the successor of Judge
WILKIN Judge EGAN will have to ell
lure comparisons of his work with a
standard no lawyer in the country
would willingly be measured by. We
predict for him, in spite of this. a
career on the bench of the highest use
~fulness, in which he will win reputation
and honor.
In the state the elective offices will
agal be held by Republicans, with a
single exception. Two very important
appointive positions are soon to be
filled. The railroad eommissionership
II the labor commisSionership, if
properly occupied, involve duties which
concern the people of Minnesota much
more intimately than any of the stale
positions, with the single exception of
the governorSbip. The GLOBE is not
disposed to criticise or carp at the occu-
pants OF pubic offices simply because
they are not in the same political fold
with it. 1t believes that profound re-
spect is due to the governor of Mime.
sofa, whether Republican or Democrat.
simply because he is the governor of
Minnesota, if for no other reason. Mr..
MERRIAM was elected to his DO
sition by a slender majority, but
he vas elected. He is a man
of agreeable carriage, of forcefuI
character, and of marked ability. He
is confronted at the outset of this. his
second term, by a majority in each
iouee vi inc legislature winch is 0p-
posed to him and the principles of his
party. A good deal of legislation will
be submitted to him for approval or
veto which is at variance with the polit-
lcal faith and the personal interests
which he represents. As a member and
spokesman of the Democracy the GLOBE
Insists Oh the enactment of measures
which are in harmony with the will of
the people as expressed in the COM
plexion of the new Legislature. At the
same time. and TO this end, it wishes
Gov. MERRIAM a successful term oil of
flee, and hopes that his administration
may be marked in the history of the
state by progress in general prosperity
and coHtentment.

found to show small increase in com
parison to the cities. The municipal
development shows that depression in
agriculture has had the same effect as
in this country. 1t has deferred many
from entering it and driven others from
it to the cities. Berlin has a population
of 1913, 4S5, equal to New York, and
as increased 25O,0O O in five years, while
New York is credited with but 100000
in a decade. Allowing 10000 not
counted, and still Berlin has the
advantage in percentage of growth.
Hamburg has u.s. 600 population, and
it is claimed that with equal extension
OF its boundaries it will show as rapid a
growth as Chicago. Leipsic has almost
doubled its population in five years.

Mich, Breslau, Cologne and the other
chief cities have all had remarkable

migration, and the emigration has been

THE SUGAR BEET AGAIN.


Nebraska papers explain that the
reason why the growing of beets in that
state for sugar-making has been SO UNI
satisfactory is that the producers have
been unwilling or unable to eXpend the
labor and skill requisite to securing the
most profitable beet for the manufact-
ure. The specifications are that the
beet must be OF fine fiber, with firm
meat and of a limited size. This is the
most fruitful in the sugar quality, but
it is not grown in the wholesale haphaz-
ard methods that Nebraska farmers are
said to be inclined to. BRADsTREETs,
speaking more generally of the efforts
to produce the sugar beet in this oun
try. says:
Farmers, as q rule. have not followed the
directions furnished by the agricultural de-
partment and of experts who have studied
foreign processes of the production Of sugar
beets. Tit consequence has been that the
yield of beets has been small, and the farmer
has gone back to the production of that he
knew more about.
The conclusion Of the Nebraska farm
ers was that the price paid them for the
beets by the mills in their state did not
make it worth while to give the crop
their attention in place of the staples.
They would even have the state aban-
don its encouragement to the develop
ment of the industry by withdrawing
the state bounty. The home supply of
the sugar beet has been insufficient, and
some have been imported from Ger
many, it is stated. If there has been a
niggardly policy on the part of the sugar
manufacturers in Nebraska, it was a
grave blunder. The state bounty Of 2
cents a pound, added to the national
bonus, afforded an opportunity not had
elsewhere. There can be little produc-
ton of sugar in this country, from this
source, without the growth of the best
form of the beet for that use. Those,
however, most competent to speak on
the subject believe that the difficulties
will in early time be overcome and the
United States will rival Germany as a
producer of beet sugar. No other coun-.
try consumes as much sugar as this,
and the natural conditions are possessed
for the growth of the elements for its
manufacture. All refining machinery
is admitted without duty and the public
treasury is to foster it with a munifi-
cen bounty. If the industry is unable
to get OH its feet under these eircum-
stances it is not a promising infant.

HOW THEY GROW.

When the figures of tie recent census
of German cities are brought in connec-
ton with those the PORTER people have
been furnishing of the centers of popu-
lation in this country. some of the SUI
perlative periods grow less sonorous.
1t is not exactly the thing for German
cities to grow faster than those of the
United States, but they appear to have
been doing SO of late. They may have
had more capable census takers, but the
figures have to pass as they are adj
duced. A few decades ago., before the
unity of the German states was effected,
Germany may not have been quite on
the effete list as Il nation, but it has
loomed up enormously since the thun-
der of IFS cannon was heard in Paris.
Tile seething and diverglBg ell
ements have been toned down,
and as a political power and commercial
people the German empire has made
wonderful strides in this generation.
The figures of the agricultural districts

AN AMBITIOUS T

The Omaha papers find data in their

ment picked up at the end of the year
for enthusiastic comparison with the
alleged same class OF cities III the West.
Minneapolis, st. Paul, Kansas City and
Denver. In percentage, as the ems is
accepted, it is ahead, showing a growth
in ten years from 3O,51S to l39, 523, but
its building record the past year is but
S4,029, los. which does not look large in
lcparison with that of the Twins. 1t
is interesting to learn that in 1897 it Is
to pass the bigger twin. and in 1905 will
show 3S9,277 population to 37O.575 in
Minneapolis. But percentages are un-
reliable. Forty years ago Omaha had
nobody to count in the census. At the
ratio of the past forty years, in four dec
AIDES more it will possess several times
the population of the country. 1t is a
lively, progressive city, and there is no
