SCHOOL TEXT BOOKS.

OF the wonderful strides that the pub
]isher's art has made in recent years, no
better proof can be advanced than the
latest scholastic text books. Matter
and both are receiving the at
tention they deserve. The old kind of
school book, with it's interminable pages
of small type and general d%reariness of
look, is a thing of the past. Our chill
dren may not appreciate all the advan-
tages they possess in bold, clear type
and artistic illustration, but the benefits
they are receiving are not diminished on
that account. That there is no royal
road to learning we know, and it would
not be we'll if it were otherwise, for the
effort expended in securing a given edu-
c%ational result is frequently of as much
value as the actual result itself. But a
single glance at any of the text books
used in III public schools to-day will
prove how much the difficulties of the
path have been smoothed away, and how
much more easily this beginner in schol-
arship may. tread the path that is set
before him. Yet, in spite OF all the i'm
provement in school books, there is no
school matter surrounded with SO many
difficulties as their production, choice
and distribution. The people of this
country have provided a grand scheme
of free education for their children.
They desire a universal acceptance of it's
benefits. School books must be cheap
or their cost may serve as a bar to the
end our public school system has in
view. They must be excellent, or the
system cannot accomplish all that it
ought under the most favorable circum-
stances. How to combine the two req
uisites of cheapness and excellence is
E vexed question.
California undertook to solve the diff
ficulty by producing and publishing her
own text books. The result, in the
opinion of the state superintendent and
a recent gathering of representative
teachers, is a failure. A high level OF
excellence has not been attained. OF
the ten books which have been pub
lished out Of tho requisite series of thir-
teen, only two secure the appreciation of
the public school teachers in the state,
They demand the thorough revision OF
the others by competent authors, SO as
to adapt them to public school wants,
The desideratum of cheapness has not
been secured. The state board, when il
has employed an author or compiler has
had to pay him for his labor, whether
his book was, in the eyes of education.

SUGAR MAKING IN MONTANA.

In no part of the world can the sugar
beet begrown to better perfection than in
the soil of our Montana valleys. All
that is needed to build up great and
profitable industry in our state is the
establishment here of a factory to util-
lie the never-failing crops that we can
raise. Mr.. Arthur Stayner, the we'll
known beet sugar manufactured, of New
York, has undertaken the erection of
Just such a factory at Salt Lake as we
ought to have in Helena. In response
to a request for facts in regard to the
%spondent:
With a plant costing not more than $780,
600 You can manufacture pure white sugar
for from three and one-half cents to three
and three-quarters a pound-that is from
m to one and o~ne-Quarter cents less money
than you can buy the raw sugar for. In the
case / represent the whole amount of money
expended is kept at home; in the other case
the whole cost of raw material goes out
away from home. The net profit of a beet
sugar factory making white sugar can be
made to reach 30 per cent, and in addition
to this, the government for the next fifteen
years gives a bounty of two cents a pound
Con the sugar manufactured or produced in
the United States, not on the retining),
which would make 80 to 40 per cent more.
A factory such as I mention above can be
made to produce enough sugar for a popu-
lation of It's, 600 persons, and every dollar
of it produced in the state, not a penny goes
out, and OF a comfortable profit of go to Is
per cent. Il s.X
My principle is, first and foremost, build
up our W country and neighborhood,
make our " people, farmers, laborers,
mechanics, ETC., comfortable and as wealthy
as possible, and then furnish to others, but
u " neighbors first, This may be self
ish, but it is prudent; we make our farmers
rich, and we benefit by their wealth, and so
with every other branch of business.

WHILE the bill requiring that all pub

with opposition from taxpayers in rural

them a great deal of county work that

AS REPUBLICAN Doodle can always be
counted on to carry that state, the re-
publican bosses Of California are oppos-
ing all the measures of electoral reform
proposed by the democrats and the Ia
Dor unions. The bills for that purpose
now pending in the legislature are four
in number and all are based on the Aus
tralian system. They provide for the
secret official ballot, secure the same adj
vantage to regular and independent can
didates, and secure the voter against
intimidation by providing for the pri-
waite booth wherein he is required to
prepare his ticket. The bill of the labor
unions provides for u water mark to
prevent counterfeiting, and a detachable
stub to identify each ballot as it goes
into the ballot box and prevent it's iden-
LITIGATION afterward.
The bill of the democratic committee
allows the voter to vote for a. whole
group Of presidential electors by u sin
gle mark, instead of marking each nRme,
and also gives the workingmen the priv
of absenting themselves from their
employment for two consecutive hours
On election day without loss of pay.
1t seems to us that the latter bin
moro nearly meets the practical require
ments OF asgood law. 1t is a needless
eSaction to require a voter to mark the
of every man on a long list of
presidential electors. The indication of
the name at the head of the list clearly
expresses the intent Of the voter and
that should be sufficient. The ideal
law is one which, while rigidly
preserving the secrecy Of the ballot,
hampers the voter with the fewest pos
'ible conditions and makes the perform
lnce of his duty simple and easy.
