JAMBOREE WEEK.

The indignation meeting held the
other day. in Topeka, to protest against
the white-aproned and plate glass in-
fractions Of the prohibitory law, ap-
pointed a committee of fifteen to see
that the whisky traffic be not permitted
behind mahogany counters but restrict
ed 10 the old and time-honored subter-
fuges of joints and drug stores. This
action at first seemed to meet with the
usual Topeka unanimiIy on that CUES
ton. But after a second consideration
upon the part of number Of leading
citizens the Committee of Fifteen were
notified that II il meant close sea-
son" the year round, there would be a
row. Topeka, il seems is going to
have some kind OF n jamboree aud fes-

IT'S ALL TALK.

We are hearing much just now OF
foreign retaliation against the United
States on account of the new tariff bill.
Germany and Canada in particular, are
making threats. The free trade organs
view with .larm these demonstrations
If prJtecroo brings to this country but
half tie goo. expected of it, how is
retaliation TO affect us? If on mills
are kept going, labor finds renunerat-
i've employment and times grow good
over growing prices. how Is retaliation
to reach us or how affect for worse the
people? It's the same old story. This
country never attempted a step or n
measure in its own interest that was
rot met with protest by foreign infiu
ences and by prophecies Of disaster.
All this foreign talk delights the free
trade pessimists who roll it under their
tongues and predict terrible things
should the Dingley bill become law.
One would be led to believe that the ed
= itors of such journals as The New York
Post and the Philadelphia Record were
more concerned in the welfare of Euro
pean peoples than in their own coun-
try. The reason why these countries
threaten is simply because they know
that they have got to let go Of the best
end OF our own bargain which they
have been holding. They may call it
selfishness. but selfishness is eXcusable
in that man or country that has been
pauperized by the selfish greed of
others. A protective tariff may be dis
elimination, but it is in the right direc-
ton 1t is impossible TO be just 10 our
selves and at the same time please our
competitors. A tariff law that would
prove acceptable to Germany, France,
Canada and England would necessarily
be against ourselves. With revenues
Fuficient TO meet all the expenses Of
the government and with prosperous
people, we can afford TO let other cOun-
tries talk of retaliation. and act it, too,
to their hearts content We have
pocketed losses That others might grow
fat long enough. The reason why the
Wilson tariff bill was so generally APP
proved OF abroad, and why Wilson was
lionized and banqueted in London was
because the Wilson bill was against
American Industries and favorable to
foreign manufacturers. That fact
alone should have condemned ii. All
this dismal howl from free trade organs
is but an echo of those who would
prosper at our expense. American Ia
Dor has been robbed and American in
stitutions impoverished long enough in
response to college spun theory. The
protective tariff measure is going TO be-
come tie law Of the land, and with its
passage there will be a renewal of life
all along the line.

AS TO BEET SUGAR.

I Secretary Wilson of the agricultural
department is the most practical as ne
| is the most comprehensive man who mas
yet filed the new cabinet position. He
not only understands farming, out he
is a political economist of no mean or
der, compromising the commercial
world and its life. Butter is an article
of universal consumption, and high
creamery grades command high prices
in all the great European centers. With
compensating prices there is no limit
to the amount of first class butter that
America could furnish for export. Sec
rotary Wilson's scheme TO put Amerl-
can creamery butter into the London
market can hardly fail Of success.
Sugar, ike butter. is also an article of
universal consumption. But America
sends millions OF dollars annually TO
Germany, to the West Indies and to the
Sandwich Islands for sugar. Experts
hold, and practical tests have demon
strated that the sugar beet is as much
q success in America as elsewhere.
This being true, why import sugars:
Mr.. Wilson is convinced that the sugar
beet industry can be protitably carried
on in this country. So believing, he is
going to give the enterprise thorough
trial. Ills first step is to engage the
cooperation of 1000 farmers in differ
ent sections Of the country, or in four
teen states, which farmers are now
raising crops Of sugar beets from seeds
furnished by the agricultural depart
mept. At the close of the season these
1000 farmers will send samples of their
beet crops with detailed reports regard
ing various conditions and theories,
modes of cultivation, to the various ag-
ricultural experiment stations in the
fourteen states represented. In this
way the beet belt in this country can
be definitely defined. The government
will then publish a series of bulletins
containing the results eli the investiga
ton Will, instructions as to the soil and
method OF cultivation that will produce
the best results. 1t has been shown in
Germany that sugar beets can be prof
itabiy grown in any climate where the
mean temperature is 20 degrees Fair
enheit during the three ripening
month In the central western states
of this country, where the experiments
with sugar beets are being carried on,
the mean temperature during the three
ripening months is 75 degrees, but from
the reports already received it is APP
parent that excellent results can be Sc
cured.
The beet sugar industry in this coun-
try is in its infancy. There are great
possibilities in it for the farmer and the
manufacturer. 1t is gratifying to have
at The head of the agricultural depart
ment man of such practical as well as
scientific sense as Mr.. Wilson. He Is
going to make the department what it |
was designed to be-a practical benefit |
to the farming interests Of the United |
States.

Process of Lining Up for the E1ec-

NEW YORK, Oct. 13.-The process Of
lining up for the municipal election Of

or Jerk. A gap still exists in the place
whare there should be a candidate for

A Government Board Examining Proposed
Sites for Placement Of Artillery.
Eight High-Power Guns, Varying
From Eight to Sixteen-Inch
Bore, and One Hundred and
Twenty Eight Sixteen Inch
Mortars to be Added to the De-
fense of Golden Gate.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 13.-The
Board of Inspectors of Coast Defenses,
now in this city, visited the Preside
and Lime Point to-day, and examined
the proposed sites for the placement OF
new guns. The Government contem-
plates adding to the defenseS OF this
harbor lightweight high-poWer guns
varying from eight to sixteen-lnch
bore, and 12S twelve-inch mortars. AT
present there are only twelve modern
high power guns in position about the
bay. The Puget Sound will have thirty
new guns and San Diego about elgh-
teen. The board will report their find
ings to the Secretary Of War at once.
The Inspection Board will leave this
city for San Diego tomorrow or next
day.
A naval rendezvous is also to be es-
tablished in this city for the purpose
of facilitating the. shipping of sailors
to man the war vessels Of the navy. All
the vessels of the Pacific squadron are
short handed, and when it was decided
to rush the Baltimore in commission the
other vessels at the Navy Yard We're
drained of all the men that could be
spared, and then 100 had to be sent
out from the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
With all this, the cruiser did not have
more than half a crew. Her compile
ment will be made up by the crew Of
the Philadelphia, which will be trans
ferred to her when that vessel comes
into harbor from Honolulu.
Lieutenant George NJ. Stoney, form
erly of the Philadelphia, will have
charge of the rendezvous.
