stead of trying a man by Jury of
his peers who are in no way his
peers, and dealing out justice which
has not the slightest semblance Of
justice, let us call it what it really is
gambling. Let the man at the bar
throw dice for his freedom. He will
be as sure of justice as were his
case in the hands of most juries.
Dispense with jury and witness. Let
the judge be called Royal High Dice
Shaker and throw She little cubes for
the state. Should the man win turn
him loose, but when the X. H. D. S.
holds the high hand let the man be
punished. The plan sounds absurd,
but is it more SO than the system now
in vogue? Does mans chances for
justice in the courts today depend on
pure and simple evidence, or does it
not more FREQUENTLY depend on the
ability of his counsels to distort JUS
tice, to confuse witnesses, to over in
fiuence the jury, and by technical-
ties to over-rule justice and defeat
the intention of the law makers? ?
There may be two sides to the ques-
tion but it seems that recent events
would suggest that justice could be
had more frequently through the
hands of the R. H. D. S. than by the
iury system.

PLEASANT VALLEY.

A May Day excursion to the hot
springs at Wellsville had been planned
by some of the Howard people, and
there was general disappointment
when on arising Sunday morning they
found the ground covered with snow.
1t was very dreary outlook for the
lst of May, the snow falling at inter-
walls the greater part Of the day and
the fog lifting only now and then,
while the cattle hurried down from
the mountains as though they thought
winter had come again.
The L. 7. l.. as usual met at the
school house last Friday. The attend
ance was small on account of the in
clement weather. Those who went
were caught in the rain, and as though
that was not sufficient bother for one
time through some oversight the doors
were found locked and the key where
it could not be easily obtained. After
some trouble as well as waste of time
they succeeded in gaining admittance,
and in spite of the forgotten key and
lother difficulties the meeting was
success and no one seemed to be dis
Icouraged, though all felt the absence
of their sprightly president, Miss
Katie Cooper.
For some time work has been sus-
pended on the Free Methodist church,
but was resumed last week.
Miss Cinthia Cooper has returned
home from Denver where she has been
visiting her sister all winter.
Johnnie Christison was down from
Badger Creek on business last week.
Mr.. D. U. Conine has been up on
West Creek making ties but was
driven down by the snow Sunday. He
reports a fall of two feet where he
was at work.
Miss Jessie Alexander will 60 to
Canon City Thursday where she ex-
poets to make visit of some dura-
ton, indeed, rumor says she will never
return as Miss Jessie Alexander.

We hear no clamor now about the
manner in which the war is being
conducted, and in that regard Presi-
dent Mckinley is more fortunate than
was President Lincoln: for the civil
war WAS almost half over before a
great many people could convince
themselves that the president was n
patriot and could be trusted with the
prosecution of the war. President
Mckinley has been traduccd, maligned
and villihed, but now that events have
shown the wisdom Of his war policy
the clamor has ceased and the ad-
ministration is applauded. President
McKinley's dignified and patriotic
course has placed the cause for which
we are now contending with our army
and navy in its true light before the
people of the world, and prevented
us from rushing headlong into war
before We were prepared. The COM
plete victory ,f Commodore Dewey's
squadron at Manila proves that the
blow was str,Ick at the proper time
and that the plan of campaign was
thoroughly prepared before i, WIS exc
culsd. However, 1t is one OF the pleas
ant ameneties OK our political strife as
well as rcaeemins trait OF American
character. that

NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS.


On May % commemoration services
will be held in Florence, Italy, in
honor of a Dominican Monk, a
preacher and reformer who labored
and died martyr four hundred years
ago. For his bravery and fidelity to
the truth as he understood and
preached it he is, at this late day,
about to receive honorable recogni-
ton.
After being strangled in his cell,
his body was buried in the public
square where the fountain of Neps
tune now stands; and the tradition
concerning it runs in this wise: That
the fire kindled by burning his dead
body produced such heat in Flor
ence that it was necessary TO put 1t
out. And as water was the best
agent to quench fire they built a
fountain upon the spot where he
burned with the result of still fur
ther concentrating their cruel act
by having to explain the cause of this
beautiful fountain in the city.
This event is now to be remem-
bered at its four hundredth anniver-
sary as one of the chief glories that
Savonaeola lived and preached and
denounced the vices and corruptions
of his time in that beautiful city.
There seems TO be a tide strongly
setting in among progressive educa-
tional workers which might be called
a revival in art; especially ia paint
ings, statuary, photography, etc.
Some critics eccept photography as
being neither artistic nor decorative.
We hope these critics are in the mi
nority, however.
A woman's club near Boston has
one department whose labor is to visit
the schools of the city and devote a
certain amount of money to furnish
ing pictures for the adornment of the
public school rooms and the educa-
tional effect upon the pupils.

cling art gallery accompanies the

If the city council is interested in
seeing Canon improved they will GER
tainly accept the proposition of the
residents of Greenwood for grading
and sanding that avenue between
Fourth and Twelfth streets. The
residents agree to contribute over
S640, which is the greater por-
tion of the cost. This would
make Greenwood one of the hand
soonest boulevards and driveways in
the state of Colorado.

REPORTS have been frequently
heard on the streets how that one
councilman's vote was absolutely con-
trolled by the county commissioners.
II has been often stated that because
the commissioners had appointed Mr..
N. F. Trayor road overseer that his
vote in the council on the license
question and on the appointments
would be controlled by Mr.. White and
the other commissioners. The writer
has not heard what either of the gen
tlemen referred 10 has 10 say regard
ing these absurd reports but we
doubt not that both would brand ths
as lies from the meanest source. ihe
commissioners and Mr.. Trayor sfe all
men above reproach and we GO not
believe that any one Of them ~
be party to such a nefa .ous {.
tract. Mr. Trayer was appointed a
road oyerseer because he is considered
10 be one of the best the county has
ever had. and we do not believe that
there Is a county commissioner so
low and lacking in honor as to ap-
proach him on city council business.
Mr.. Trayor is a man of honor and can
be depended upon not TO be influenced
by any OF these malicious lies.

SUGAR BEET.


greatly increased as the people are
coming to realize the necessity OF
raising our own sugar and feed
Sugar beets will grow as well in Colo
rado as anywhere in the world and
especially so in this small portion OF
the state where everything points to
success in raising sugar beets. They
will yield as much per acre and they
will be as rich in sugar. The sugar
beet requires medium warm climate,
But as the rainfall is too small to
grow the beet without irrigation its
growth will be restricted to portions
of the Arkansas Valley that can be
irrigated.
The soil best adapted to its growth
is rather firm sandy loan, such as is
found along the river at Canon City.
The sugar beet requires great
deal of preparation of the soil. 1t
grows with the entire root below the
ground, and as this root should be at
least twelve inches long it follows
that only the deepest of plowing will
make a suitable condition for its
growth. In this district where the
land has to he irrigated it is neces-
sary to plow in the fall and subsoil to
depth of fifteen to eighteen inches.
The planting is done in drills and may
be by hand or machine according to
the size of the field. The best re-
suits are obtained by hand planting
but this is too expensive for a large
field. An ordinary garden drill does
very well, also a wheat drill is very
good. The rows of beets should be
about twenty-four inches apart for
irrigating. The seed should be sown
at the rate Of about sixteen to twenty
pounds to the acre. This is far more
seed than is needed if all grows, but
the most important thing in beet rails
ing is to get good stand and the
surplus can be pulled ny. The seed
should be covered about an inch and a
half deep. If seeding is done when
the ground is very damp half an inch
is sufficient. The sugar beet requires
a great deal of moisture. Planting
may be done any time from the last Of
March to the middle of June. When
they are sown the first of May they
will be ready for harvesting about the|
first Of October. Most of the sugar
is made by the beet during the last
few weeks before it is ripe. The
beet takes from the ground very
large amount of plant food. Ms
therefore necessary that the land be
literally manured to keep it fertile.
1t is not considered advisable to grow
beets more than two years in success
sion on the same ground
Harvesting for factory is COM
menced as soon as the beets are ripe,
which stage is known by the change
in color of the leaves from green to
yellow, and at the same time the
leaves droop to the ground and
wither and die. Beets for stock food
should be left in the ground as long
as possible and gathered just before
the ground freezes.
Sugar beets have high value for
stock food. They are to be COM
pared as feed with grain rather than
hay. For every hundred pounds of
beets harvested there will be from
fifty to sixty pounds of tops. These
tops also have high feeding value,
being worth almost as much per
pound as the beets themselves.
Messrs. B. &. Woodford, +. NJ Els
worth, and several others expect to
make an experiment in sugar beets
this summer.

THE WAR.

THE WAR
Manila has fallen and the entire
Spanish fleet in eastern waters has
been totally destroyed by Commodore
Dcwey's Asiatic squadron. The en-
gagement occurred within the harbor
of Manila last Sunday morning, and
within two hours after the engage
ment commenced not Spanish vessel

III, American squadron was outnum-
b ed two to one by the Spaniards,
ar also had to contend against the
fre Of the fort batteries. While no
icial information of the engagement
has been received by our government.
il is positively known that no serious
injury was sustained by the American
feet. Monday morning Commodore
Dewey demanded the surrender of
Manila, which demand was hautily re-
jected by the Governor General of the
islands. The American squadron then
commenced bombardment Of the
forts, and there is every reason to be-
