W. @. T. u. NOTES.

These notes are printed ae furnished by the
press representative OF the state W. G. 7. u, and
This paper is in no manner responsible for their
hlatements.l
The blessedness of life is not in
keeping but in spending it, "-Hamil-
ton Mabie.
We hope that our unions throughout
the State were much helped by the
county meetings. and that us IA result,
more effective work is now being done.
1t was not my privilege TO attend the
conventions of New Castle and Sussex
counties, but the kindness of friends
who were present has enabled me to
read along, and between the lines, OF
their respective meetings.
The encouraging fact was given at
the Newark nesting that l0J members
had been added to the New Castle
County Union since February, and it
is believed that the work in this
county is increasing.
An active member Of tho Wilmington
New Century, Club who was present ut
the Newark meeting remarked to a
friend that "the members of the w.
g. I. U. POSSESS the true club spirit. "
Not being a "club woman, it may
be difficult for me to understand what
Is meant by this spirit" but easily
cOmprehended, and strongly felt, is
the bond between white-ribbon women.
And it is the common experience OF a
woman with the little bow of white on
Ger dress to hold out her hand to every
woman she meets wearing it, This re'
minds me of the importance the presi
dent of the Kent county W. G. I. u,
Mrs. Kate e. Smithers, attaches to
the wearing Of the white ribbon. She
it was who obtained. the pledge from
many at the last State convention 10
wear the white ribbon all the time for
year, and as was natural when she
met the members of her county union
at the Little Creek meeting, she asked
these who had kept tho pledge up to
that time to stand, and a number
did So
1t is II rare occurrence to see white
ribbon on the lapel Of gentleman
coat, but some OF our brothers-in law,
as our honorary members are called,
who do not wear the white ribbon are
true to W. Q. I. U. principles.
In perils of waters, in perils in the
wilderness,n Miss Ackerman's work
around the world was indeed most
heroic and sine deserves all the appre-
citation and honor We can give her.
With her Town hand'' she pinned the
white ribbon on 1000 women in
Australia, and many more in the
foreign countries she visited were
ddaded to our ranks by her wise efforts.
In a little while Miss Alderman will
abandon the lecture field to obtain
much needed rest from speaking, and
vii make home for herself in city,
and for a time engage in literary work.

THE TRUTH IS GOOD.
Gold Coin VIII Flow as the Result of the
Beet Sugar Factory.

John Whicher, OF San Luis Obispo,
California, an old time friend OF Howard
T. Lee, one Of the proprietors OF this
paper was a pleasant visitor to this city
last night. Mr.. Whicher arrived over
the narrow gauge, coming from the
southern part of the state.
The old timers in the state are all we'll
known to Mr. Whicher who passed
thro Ugh the golden period of the Lead
vile boom. He is full OF "reminiscences
OF those days and is an apt story teller.
He was acquainted with Gene Field
in his palmy days and with other noted
newspaper writer's of the early days OF
Leadville and Denver.
Mr.. Wicher gave the Sentinel man
last night graphic pictures OF what
had been accomplished thr 'ugh beet
culture in Central California. San
Luis Obispo, is the adjoining county to
Monterey, and at the town OF Salinas in
Monterey county, Claus Spreckles has
the largest beet sugar factory in the
WOrlu III OpeTdllou.
Said Mr.. Wicher, "There is no town
in the state OF California that enjoys the
unprecedented prosperity OF Salinas
The culture of the beet has transformed
the town from a sleepy old town to one
of the brightest and best mercantile
points in California Where the farm
ers had mortgages on their property they
have now none and each and every one
you squarely that land befo the ad-
vent of the beet sugar factory which sold
for fifty dollars per acre is now selling
at 80 90 per acre. can imagine
no sort of enterprise that could have
benefited your little city so much and
from what have seen Of your people
they have no conception what the fac
tory will do for them. Push the scheme
as much as you can. you cannot say too
much for it. The man who has been so
fortunate as to secure the capital for
this vast enterprise should be hailed as
a benefactor above all men in your com
munity. He has brought you tangi
BILE something which is ready cash to
YOU farmers ana you are under pro-
found obligations to him.
"l am as you know, the county clerk
of my county, and am in position,
through my brother officer in Monterey
county, to know what has beon done in
the liquidation of mortgage indebted
ness
ut is surprising what great benefits
have accrued to that entire country.
The same can be said OF the Oxnard
factories which have been built lower
down in the state.
Mr. Whcher on account OF press OF
business was compelled to leave last
night for the west. He was sorry that
he could not look over the factory site,
but the Sentinel is glad to put before
the people the actual conditions, which
are so favorable, arising from the build
ing of a beet sugar factory and the grow
ing and culture of beets.
1t seems that we have hit the right
thing at the right time and prosperity 3
wave should reach us about the harvest
time Of beets.

10 Use Students Of Specialties,

Secretary Wilson, of the department
of agriculture, in his annual report de-
plores the fact that so few of the farm
ing class of the country pay any atten-
ton to education in agriculture, but
tates luat the attendance at the agri-
cultural colleges is increasing, and tht
demand for expert help from the de-
partment is greater than can be sup
piled. He has applied to the civil serv-
ice commission in vain for help, for mer
with the technical knowledge wanted
are not to be mad. 1t is the same witt
regard to persons well informed witt
regard to the animal industry. At the
suggestion of Secretary Wilson the civ
il service commission will hereafter
keep a register of graduates of the ag-
ricultural colleges endowed by congress
for the education Of farmers, and from
this registry the department will ap
point young men as assistants for the

Work Not Words Wanted.

The Democrats are sometimes pleased
at the action of a Republican official.
One Ease in point was the resignation of
Speaker Reed, who was one too many
for them whenever they had a scheme
to hinder the Republicans in congress.
But they are not getting half so much
enjoyment out of the change to Speaker
Henderson as they hoped, for he has the
benefit of the effective Reed rules to aid
him and the slender majority of his par
ty. While he may not crush the minor
ity members as emphatically and with
new speaker is strictly business, and
will not permit delay and foolish techni-
c~alities to bar the way to legislation.
The minority have no new objection to
urge to the passage of a finance bill, and
the determination of the speaker and
the majority not to allow the session to
be wasted in discussion of this one
measure is sensible. The week which
will be allowed for speeches and debate
upon the subject should be ample for
every n VINO mas anything To say TO
unburden himself. The country expects
many important matters to be weighed
and acted upon, so the effort of Demo-
Gratis to use up the session in arguments
upon the one bill will not be approved.
Their claims that they are being gagged
by being limited to a few days time in
speechmaking will not create much
sympathy. The money question has haG
ample discussion in the last few years,
and there is not a member of congress
who does not already know whether he
will vote for a bill establishing gold as
the standard. So far as n result upon
the vote is concerned, all speeches
might be waived and the ayes and noes
called to-day.

Briton and B0er.

The news from South Africa contin-
ues to be discouraging to Great Britain,
which appears to have overestimated
the ability of her men and seriously UNI
derestimated the skill of the enemy.
There is one thing to be remembered in
a conflict with a country which is being
invaded. The people are fighting for the
form Of government they prefer and for
their homes, in a sense, even IL 1t be not
the custom of civilized c~onquerors to
seize the property and Cypress the van
pushed. The Beers fight with the de-
termination that marked the defense OF
the colonies when the British undertook
to perpetuate their rule in America,
While the outside world may think ii

quished and England assume sovereign.

they may feel just as much concerned

ton inspired by long contemplation o

That Great Britain will win in the enc
can scarcely be doubted, for her hant
has been stayed with but rare excep
tons. and her wealth is great. Though
her soldiers have learned a bitter les
son and their fancied invincibility hal

Bribery Not Approved.

If Senator Clark, of Montana, bought
his seat in the senate, and it car be
proved, he should be bounced even If
the man who pushes the charge of
bribery against him was also seeking
to purchase the prize. If the charge be
proved with sufficient clearness to con-
vince the American people that the sem
ator bought the votes that sent him 10
Washington, even though he be not re-
fused the seat by easy-going members,
the American people will never bestow
that esteem upon the Montana senator
that is freely given to every senator
elected through popularity or by any
legitimate method of political work. A
man may secure office through methods
for which the law provides p~enitentiary
imprisonment as the penalty, but he can
not secure the honor which should go
with the place from the masses of the
people, who will continue to have their
own opinion of the man who wins dis
honestly, no matter IL he does manage
to retain the official position acquired
through dishonest practices in defiance
Of public opinion.
