The state university will ask for an
appropriation nearly twice as large as
will the agricultural college. However,
the educational question should receive
the attention of the Legislature, and the
appropriations should be liberal. There
is no matter Of more vital importance to
the whole people, The senatorial ques-
ton is not in it with the educational,
and there should be no opposition what
ever to Legislation for the upbuilding Of
our school system.

Washington Sugar Beets.
fSpokesman-Reyiew |


The Washington agricultural college
at Pullman has received and analysed
SUGAR beets from 45 towns west and 56
east Of the Cascade mount aims. For
eastern Washington it has made l,27O
analyses and for western Washin gton
1916. The average weight of the west
ecu bcets was % ounces and of the Gust
orn heets 23 orhces. The average per
cs4tuge Of sugar Of tie western beets
was - 3 and of the eastern beets l49,
but in average purity the w~stern beets
returned 50 s 40 against S2.4 for the
eastern beets. From western Was hiog-
ton, beets from Fidalgo, Skagit county,
gave the highest average of sugar and
also the highest single analysis, 1874
and 1873 respectively.
In eastern Washington tho averages
were far more uniform than in western
Washington. Out Of samples sent from
56 towns, in only nine instances did the
average percentage of sugar iall below
IA. Asotin, Asotin county, made the
best single analysis of sugar percentage,
namely, 21.9. Other remarkably high
single Analyses we're: Crescent, Lincoln
county, 1914; Colfax, Whitman county,
1913; Colvjlle. Stevens county,, 1913; Day
ton, Columbia county, 2l.1; Davenport,
Lincoln county, 1913; Diamond, Whit
man county, 20.9; Ellensburg, kittitas
county. 90; Garfield, Whitman county,
1913; Pullman, Whitman county, 1874;
Plaza, Spokane county, 1913; Rosalia'
Whitman county, 1876; Spokane, Spo-
kane county, 10 8; unknown, 2l.5.
The above results" says the depart
ment professor making the analyses,
"seem TO demonstrate beyond doubt
that the state of Washington is pre-. em
inently adapted to the culture of beets
for sugar making purposes =" Further
experiments will be carried on next year
with special reference to the yield per
acre and cost of production. Seed will
again be distributed free of cost to those
who apply.
1t would be diff ,ult to exaggerate the
importance of these experiments. II
b, ct sugar can be profitably manufac-
trued IN this state, not only will millions
OF dollars be saved to the country that
is now beng drained away for the local
supply of sugar, but the industry can
be made TO bring in other millions
through exports. The difference be-
tween buying and selling sugar would
amount in 10 years to an enormous ag-
gregate. If the state agricultural coll
eye never ACCOMPLISHED another result
than the building mp o. the beet-sugar
industry, it would pay for itself over
and over gain.

Russian Sable

The Russian sable has Ial a great
vogue for some years, after long
period of unfashionableness, anu has
once again become scarce. 1t Is pos
sible that this very beautiful fur may
be driven out of fashion once more by
inferior dyed skins that are sent to
market under the name OF sable. A
real sable OF best ,i;lti,v brings very
nearly as much 4, Il best quality silver
fox, taking size and price into con-
sideration. Indeed, the raIn" may be
considered nearer that Of the sea otter,
for sable may hrinG tr".n SlI3 to

size of the sea otter
The very best sablcs are accounted
a sort OF imperial perIuisltc, being
paid rs tribute by some o! the A>latlc
peoples to the Car, aud therefore
called '.crowu sahlcs." Now and again
parcel OF these extra snp rhine fuis
reaches the London market, and is
eagerly competed for by English,
American and French furriers, VINO

WHAT LUTHER KEEw.

One Of Melanchthon's correspondents de-
scribes Luther thus Il cannot enough admire
the extraordinary cherrfulness, cOnstancy,
faith and hope of the man in these trying and
vexatious times. He constantly feeds these
gracious affections by Il very d!ligent stuly
Of the Word of God. Then. not day lilsses
in which he does not employ in prayer ut
least three Of his very best hours. Once
happened TO hear him Mt prayer. Gracious
God! what spirit and faith is there i'll his eX-
pressions! He petitiOned God with rs much
reverence as if he was in the divine presence,
and yet with as firm Il hope and confidence
"a he would address Il father or Il friend. Il
know said he, thou art our father and our
God, and therefore am sure thou wilt bring
to naught the prosecutors Of thy children.
For shouldst thou fail to do this. thine own

Germ. We, by thy Providence. have been

THE WIVES OF FAMOUS MEN.


When the private life of Prince Bis
marck comes to be written it will
probably be found that he was one OF
the great men who have owed much of
their greatness to the influence of
their wives. 1t is always question OF
curious interest how far the private
life of prominent man enters into his
public career and how much influence
it has upon his Judgment and capac-
ity. So far as the public sees the two
lives are entirely apart, and there are
instances of men who have kept them
SO, leading, in fact, kind of dual ex-
istence. 10 the overwhelming major
ity of cases the life and works of the
prominent public parsonage are influ-
enced either for benefit or for harm
by his home.
In the case of Prince Bismarck, who
has Just lost his wife, this was notably
so. Almost unknown to the world ut
large, she was typical of the homcly
virtues of the housewife. She was the
guiding spirit OF household when
her husband was guiding the destinies
of Nations. How fur the efforts and
the fruits Of her work took part IN
those destinies the world will never
know save through inference. But it Is
a safe proposition that no man, unless
he be lost to better things, is ever ell
tiralv unmove1 by the near and con-
stant presence of influences for good.
If Bismarck, the man, was better be-
cause of his sane and wholesome fami'
ly life, Bismarck. the diplomat, was
also better.
The old Chancellor, who is now
bowed before the deuthbed of his
wife, is instinctively paying a tribute
not only to her memory but to the
memory of all women who fulfill their
highest destiny as wives and mothers

HOW TO BE BEAUTIFUL.

Some dainty-minded poets and
novelists of peculiar taste have shown
marked preference for the lily
skinned maiden, aud openly deplorel 4
the vulgarity of hearty red cheeks as
becoming only to milkmaids and the
gardeners daughter. That may be
ill very we'll in poems and novels
but among the stern realities OF her
life the smart young woman prefers a
high, clear color, that owes nothing
to art, but everything to nature. Now
unhappily it has been found that the
more fashionable the life young
women live the more quickly they lose
their schoolgirl rosiness, a pheno-
menon that has caused serious con-
sideration among the afflicted. Elec-
tricity, massage, ETC., have all been
tried in vain. In no instance has the
cure for pallor proved permanent
and it was in something Of despair the
more energetic and hopeful resorted
to famous specialist just come to
town. He is tiny, mild-munnered,
but iron-willed little German doctor,
to whom the secrets Of nature seem
wholly revealed. He contemplated
his wan-chcckcd patients and re-
marked, calmly, that sweets and Ice
water were ut the root Of the trouble,
augmented by too much driving III
victorias, bronghams, coaches, etc.
"Not enough honest walking :Xer'

WOMEN GET PosTOFFICEs.

Since the Fourth Assistant Postmas
ter General has had to do with ap-
pointments he has been making wo-
men office holders in the fourth-class
offices wherever there was a woman
applicant that seemed capable of do
ing the work. 1t is observed by glanc-
ing over the list that many women
have been selected. Probably during
the rush when Congressman were get
ting some of the spoils SO many wo-
men were not selected, but during the
summer when Congressman were out
of the city, and the service alone was
to be looked after, General Maxwell
has given the women the best of it.,
and if his plan is carried out the wo-
men will soon have a majority Of the

Land OF Low Salaries.

Japan is O land Of low salaries,
writes Frank G.. Carpenter in the New
York Press. Tho officials do not get
one-tenth as much as ours. The
members of the House of Peers and of
the House of Representative receive
800 japanese yen, and their travelling
expenses. The yen is now worth
about fifty cents, so they receive in
reality only 500 a year. Our Con-
gresshen, you know, receive $4,000.
The Presidents of both houses re-
ceive 1000 yen. The Emperor ap-
points the officers OF the House of
Peers, selecting those of the House of
Representatives from three candidates
who are elected by the House.
All of the voting in the Japanese
Parliament is done in secret ballot.
Thare is great deal OF ofspeechmaking,
and the representatives grow very ex-
cited when they discuss the measures
relating to the Government. The
Emperor has the right to dissolve Par
lament, and he has dismissed the last
two houses because they seemed in
clined to cut down the expenses be-
yond the possibilities Of running the
Government. The dissolution caused
a great deal of excitement over the
country, and the new election was
much feared by the administration.
The country seemed to be torn up by
the different factions, but this has
been all done away with by the war
with China, and the Emperor will get
all the money he wants from now on.
The Emperor has great power over
Parliament, and the constitution Is so
adroitly worded that he can act inde-
pendently of it. The laws provide
that Congress shall vote oil the mon
ey, but that the last budget shall be
in force in case Congress is dissolved
without passing new appropriation
bills. The Emperor can veto all laws
and he can proclaim a laH when Par
lament is not sitting. He still holds
the chief command Of the army and
navy, the right to make wnr or peace,
and to conclude treaties, and he can
confer such titles and pardons as he
pleases. Parliament has no right to
Interfere with his household expenses,
and his Cabinet goes before the diff
ferent houses and defends the admin
istration. I don't know that the laws
provide where Congress shall meet, but
the fact that the Emperor has called
them to Hiroshima, which is, 1 judge,
nearly 400 miles west of Toxic, shows
that he can do as he pleases in this
matter.
