SUGAR BEET FARMING.
Vast and Profitable Home Market for
the PRODUCT.


The development and opening to transpor-
taton of large and productive agricultural
areas in India, Russia, Argentina. Australia
and other countries have in recent years
brought about the sharpest competition in
farm products and very low prices. The
cheap labor obtalnable in some of these coun-
tries cannot be duplicated in the United
States and if American farmers would Offset
this serious disadvantage they must devise
better methods cater to the home mark 5t
and wherever possible raise the bar OF ocean
tonnage against foreign competitors.
The United States annually consumes sugar
and its manufactures to the value Of some
thing like $4,000, 900, three-fouTths of which
is imported, the proceeds going InalQly to the
beet and cane growers of other Countries.
Here Is an opportunity for the farmers of
the northern and western states, in many Of
which sugar beets grow to perfection. Prac-
tical experiments have already been made IN
some sections, notably in Nebraska and Cal
ifornia, with results that could not be more
promising. About 40 600 tons of beet sugar
was produced in this country last year con-
more will be produced this and
the industry. We have millions of acres OF
soil peculiarly adapted to the sugar beet
enough, if utilized, to suOply ourselves and
the rest of mankind with sugar. Any two
or three of dozen states might easily pro
duCe enough sugar to supply our own wants
and turn the balance of foreign trade largely
and peIDetually in our favor.
Cooperation on a scale of some magnitude
is necessary. First, an ample supply of
beets within a small radius must be assured; /;
then a manufactory to reduce the product,
costing 5000 900 to $3.50 900, is required. But
these things, wherever profitable, ought to
be within easy reach of American meaus and
enterprise.
The benefits to other industries and to the
country as a whole would be great. Every
Of hngt hos, i- tglN
taken from the increasing acreage sown to
grain, so much deducted from the competition
of oveTgrown crcQs and from the bills to be
settled abroad.

people by the aourishing industry of marry

to have created CONSERVATION in the vicinity

the marrying of veterans is a regular bust

will marry for a modest consideration, in
rum or money, are in great demand by
women who will premise never to disturb
their husbands in, any manner; all that the
bride asks Is a marriage certificate and

THE HlYTT1y INCIDENT.

The difficulty between Germany ana
Hayt, growing out of the imprisonment
of Il German subject, will probably not
involve the United States. but it has an
interest for Americans in showing how
easily this country might become en-
brOiled with foreign powers in conse-
Quence of its assumption of guardian
ship over all the Independent countries
Of this hemisphere. We have assumed Il
very great responsibility under the Mon
roe doctrine and the obvious danger is
that it will some time bring us serious
trouble through the folly or recklessness
of some of the countries that look to this
republic for protection. There is no doubt
that the Haytian authorities would have
been more discreet had they not felt that
they could call upon the United States
to help them out of a difficulty. The mo-
ment Germany threatened summary
action to secure the indemnity demanded
Hayti appealed to tins government thus
showing that in their defiant attitude
toward the German diplomatic repre-
sentative the Haytian authorities had
couli'cu upon 'he support VI 'lllS SoH-
ernment.
We should give such countries to un-
derstand that they must do what is fair
and just in their relations with other
countries or take the consequences; that
while the United States proposes to
insure the inviOlability of their territory
it does not intend to take up their quar-
rels caused by recklessness or folly and
interpose to save them from just pun
ishment for their ineXcusablc mistakes.

a Transmississippi Teachers conven-
ton to meet at Omaha during the expo
sition can be organized without inter
fering in the least with any other similar
assemblage at any other place. Because
the National Educational association is

not meet here at any time convenient

While the lull in speculation continues,
it is well worth netting that rot only is the
United States sending abroad great quantities
Of cotton, grain and manufactured articles
but it is also loaning money in London.
This is decidedly time of business suprem-
acy on the part of the Americans republic.
That supremacy may be expected to grow,
rather than dwindle as the months go by.

The official organ of the populist state
machine prints Bryan's remarks mt ST.

the part in which he openly repudiates

want to let the rank and file of the party
know that their former candidate for the

The injunction asked to protect the
rights of The Omaha Evening Bee as
the paper having the largest circulation
in Douglas county and thereby entitled
to the advertising of all liquor license
notices was granted by the district
court. AS there is only one equity court
in session at the present time the in
junction was necessarily granted by that
court. SO fragrant, however, was the
violation of the law and so plain the
right of The Bee TO equitable relief that
no court of equity could have refused TO
issue the restraining order prayed for.
The clap-trap of the World-Herald
about The Bees injunction being pro
cured by favoritism is simply the squeal
