Seed worth Its weight in Gold.

The great desideratum in sugar beet cul-
ture is to produce beets of exceeding
sweetness. This requires a careful selec-
tion of seed. The Agricultural Depart
meat at Washington has some seed which
is said to be worth its weight in gold, be-
cause it produces beet yielding a large
percentage of saccharine matter. This
seed is being distributed with great care

The sweetest beets from the expert
mental crops are 10 be selected for pro-
ducing more seed, and thus in due course
of time perfection in quality may be at

to rush into extensive culture of sugar
beets all at once, but the sooner they make
move in that direction the sooner will

claims That the North Atlantic Con-
ference Is Illegal.

Inc statement is made and appears
to be we'll founded that the 500 line
means to bring action against the
North Atlantic conference with the
view to proving that the association is
illegal and maintained in direct vio-
Iatlon of the anti-pooIing law The
North Atlantic Passenger conference is
the association of Transatlantic
steamship lines, whose ostensible pur-
pose is the maintenance of rates.
This will be a most interesting and
important case, for it involves the
point of including foreign corporations
under the United States law.
1t was claimed by the steamship
lines, when the antitrust decision was
rendered against the associations, that
the conference could not be affected
III that it dealt with business to and
from foreign ports. The 500 line legal
department, however, seem to think
that it has a strong case, and its pres
ent intention is to push the matter to
the limit.
While the validity of the conference
agreement is the real issue in the case,
the action is brought upon a test case
ticket, which was purchased a while
ago in a local steamship case A passen-
ger named MatsOn was booked via the
500 and Dominion lines. but. as the
conference suspected irregularly in the
sale of his ticket, he was transferred
to Chicago branch of the conference,
where he gave his testimony The 500
line refused to redeem its unused ticket
in this case, as it claimed that the
business had been wrongfully and arbi-
trarily taken away from the road with
out its consent. The 500 line, there
fore. now proposes to see not only
whether the conference has a right to
do that sort of thing, but whether it
has the right even to exist

them any sort of police protection. AS
1t Is at present, not only do private
citizens who love to ride the wheel
have to spend their own money In or
der to provide public highways for
what has become just as much an au-
thorized conveyance as buggy or
dog cart, but they have to see their
work ruined and their resources thrown
away whenever a malicious driver
makes up his mind to use the cycle
path in wet weather instead of the
street Almost all Of the paths around
the city, except that on Summit ave-
nue., have been put badly out Of re-
pair at different times during the sea-
son by the driving Of teams and herd
Ing of cattle along them when the firm
ness of their surface made it a better
roadway than the muddy street. There
are indignant aldermen and proposed
ordinances and active police officers
ready to take care of the wheelman
when he encroaches upon the rights of
others or fails to obey regulations ap-
plying to the street surface, whose use
is his as well as any ones else. But
when the driver of a team proceeds to
destroy what the Wheelman has built
with his private funds, there is not an
ordinance to say him nay, or single
direction to any police officer to stop
or prevent the act of vandalism.
Taking all these things into consid-
Grafton, the work that has been done
here in cycle path improvement is lit
tie less than wonderful. In the larger
boulevards and parkways of their great
park systems form, perhaps, a larger
extent of street surface for the use Of
the wheel; but nowhere we are told,
has there been built outside of public
parks and by the people themselves,
system of paths so extensive and so
delightful to the lovers of the wheel as
we have here in st. Paul. A gentle
man visited this city a few days ago
while making a tour of the country for
pleasure, stopping a few days at each
of the principal points. Being a de-
voice Of the wheel, it was his custom to
take a spin at each stopping place, as
the best method of viewing the city
quickly and thoroughly. He expressed
his wonder and admiration at what
had been done here, declaring that In
no other city in the country where he
had been were there cycle paths the
equal of ours in excellence and in eX-
tent. This is a very substantial ad-
vertisement and recommendation for
St. Paul. 1t will attract other visitors
here and add to our popularity abroad,
as well as to the comfort and enjoy
ment of our people at home. For all
this the cycle path associations and
those who have supported as we'll as
those who have organized them, are
entitled to great credit and to the
thanks of the public.

A SPLENDID WORK,

The practical completion of the work
and closing of the balance of the cycle
path association for the current season
calls for a word of congratulation and
hearty praise to those who have been
active in improving the cycle ways in
and about this city, and in extending
and combining them into a systematic
network Of roadways for the wheel. 1t
has been a labor of intelligence. as
we'll as of love, and an exhibition of
that public spirit which has done and
is yet to do great things for St. Paul.
Thousands of dollars have been raised
by voluntary contribution, solely
through the active work of the gentle
men who have had charge of cycle
path improvement, and have been so
wisely and economically expended that
the wheelmen of this city have had
provided for them facilities that are
second to none in this country Had the
city council been equally public-spirited
and less preternaturally obtuse. it
would have made the small additions
necessary to carry out the general
plan.
We might more readily forgive it that
delinquency were 1t even willing to
provide proper penalties for the Impair
ing Of our cycle paths and to put upon

termed there, with their peculiar phras-
ing, "the compensation for accidents
bill" 1t provided compensation to the
dependent heirs Of one killed while en-
ployed, in a sum equal to three years
more than $1,000, and relief during re-
covery from accidents not fatal by pay
ment of a weekly stipend not exceed
ing so per cent of the weekly wage.
This indemnity is to be paid by the
employer in whose service the injury
is received. 1t Is understood that this
is but an experimental step, the next
one, should this be taken and prove
successful, to be the adoption Of the
German old-age pension. Thus state

wards had been cut to forty. But he
overcame all these obstacles; the capa-
city OF the mill has been increased four
fold; new machinery has replaced
the obsolete; defects of arrangement
are remedied. but most of all, back of
all, was the man with capacity and in
tegrity, who has faith in himself and
knows what he can do. We can we'll
surmise that Hogan's name does not
appear among the witnesses before
Dingley's committee to testify to the
need Of high taxes on woolens to enable
them to make cloth, and that he was
attending strictly to business while
they were beseiging congress. Hogan,
with his Todd county mill, made Of the
debris of farm machinery, not only puts
to shame the begging manufacturers
of the East but he makes a splendid
object lesson for the young men of the
state in self-reliance and self-helpful-
ness.

NIT the state to liability for the pay
ment of the money, but leaves it Who'll

first obstacle in the want Of assurance

indemnity. This involves the continu-
Gus solvency of the employer. Now
in the event Of bankruptcy or any kind
of compromise with creditors. or trans
fer Of business, what will happen to the

means can be found of obviating this

it meet with support in the house Of
commons, where, he says, there are few
besides himself "of socialistic lean

statement that such a measure would
not get single vote in the house Of
lords, for their socialism is limited to
