Important Conferences, but Not of n
Threatening Nature.
Berlin, Oct. 2S.-The correspondent
here of the Associated Press learns
authoritatively that the conferences
between the secretary of the admiral
ty, Admiral Tirpitz; the minister Of
foreign affairs. Count Won Buelow, and
the imperial chancellor, Prince Hohen-
lobe, related solely to the increase Of
the German navy by speedier and
larger ships than contemplated under
the existing programme. This is due
to the radically changed political stu
alton of the world. 1t is not intended
as q threat to any one. The conference
did not refer to sending warships to
South Africa, and no decision has been
reached as to the shape in which the
new naval plans will reach the reichs-
tag. y

commercial favor between the two
countries.
Second-Perfect religious freedom, as
now eists under the government Of
Aguinaldo. the same being conces-
sion made by him to the wishes Of the
United States.
Third-Coaling stations for the Unit
ed States upon all important islands Of
the archipelago, to be selected by the
United States and coded outright for
ever by the Filipinos. This would in
clude Manila.
Fourtll-A1ilitary reservations at Ma
Mia. lloilo. Panay. Mindora. Negroes,
Masbate Samar, Mindonca and such
other islands as may be determined
upon by both governments.

Within a few weeks thousands of
schoolhouses have opened to millions
of children. There they are to be edu-
Gated; but is not education, rightly I'M
derstood, the highest business of the
family and the church, as we'll as the
school? Humanity cannot live on its
present gains. Heredity cannot save
us. Unless associated with superior
beings, domestic animals-horses, cat
tie, swine, dogs and cats-become wild
in a single generation. Every child
will be savage unless cared for, in
structed, trained. But the whole OBJ
feet of culture should be the complete
development of being capable of self
direction and social service-capable of
going alone and going with others.

SUGAR Beets i%nlGermany.

The state department has had the
American consul at Madgeburg gather
data as to the production of sugar beets
in that country with a view to ascer-
tanning to what extent it can be adopt
ed in the United States. From 1877 to
1894 the acreage increased from 25S,SO
to 1000, 900. The yield has been from ten
to thirteen tons per acre. The average
price per ton has varied from $3.50 to
$5.40, delivered at the factory There
were 329 factories in 1877, and there are
now over 400, which converted during
last season -, 144, 291 tons of beets into
1,710,0 900 tons of raw sugar, an average
of BOZ pounds of raw sugar to each ton
of beets.
The highest percentage of sugar in
the beet, 1916, was obtained last season,
while the lowest recorded, 1852, is for
1879, in which year it took over eleven
and a half tons of beets to produce one
ton of raw sugar. Last year a small
fraction over seven tons sufficed. The
principal export of raw sugar is to Eng
land and the United States. OF over
1000, 900 exported, 4 1900 came to the
United States, and $4,000 went to Eng
land.

The State Federation of Labor at
Denver a day or two ago listened to re-
bellious speeches of men who denounced
the president of the United States and
General Merriam for the action taken
at Wardner, the scene Of recent labor
troubles. One rash member advocated
the use of rifles to get Justice. That
sort of talk does no credit to the feder-
alton. The miners at Wardner violated
the law and INDUCED in rioting twice.
They used dynamite to destroy mill
property, and took human life. They
are to be tried for o~ffenses, and the aid
of the national government has been
called to assist in making arrests and
preserve order until trial can be had.
The miners union there was tyrannical,
and General Merriam has suppressed it
until the courts can hear the cases with
out violent interference or being made
afraid. Juries will try the accused, and
there is little danger of innocent men
being convicted. The miners of Ward
ner INDUCED in talk like that Of the
Colorado agitators, and thereby brought
upon themselves the severe treatment
of which they now complain.

BOOMING Goat RAISING.

goat. showing its value for milk and
food when attention is given to i'm

derived from the fleece and hide. Proper
selection by the Swiss has given them
a breed of goats famous for milk, and
their cheese industry is based on the
supply of goat milk. The goat is a
| rough feeder and a fighter. He will
thrive where the tender sheep will

stantial food, and it is not uncommon
for goat meat to be sold as mutton to
innocent buyers. There is so little diff
