The Dover Index and the Dover
DelswaTean continue to quarrel like a
pair OF silly sehcolboys over the leader.
ship Of the Democratic party during the
last campaign. The Index charges that
it was incompetent and bad, and that
1t was responsible for Democratic de-
feat, The Delawaresn maintains that
he leadership was effective, and that
the Index was traitor to the party
and failed to give the ticket the sup
port that it deserved. We suggest to
these two papers that they drop their
quarrel and bond all their energies and
resources towards Strengthening the
party for the very important campaigc
Of 1909.

The losses to our troops in the
Philippines since August 9Th, 1898, are
as follows: Killed, 67S; died OF wounds
and accidents, 4l6; died of disease,
1878; total deaths, 3,072; wounded,
2, 492; grand total, 1894. Despite this
fearful price, and the fact that it IS
being waged against people who seek
only the right of self-government, for
which they have been fighting for over
three centuries, this war is continued
by the administration. And still there
are no indications that the people OF
the Philippines propose to give up
their struggle for independence. They
are animated by the same spirit that
animated the American Colonists in
1776, and will fight to the Filter end.

As instancing the vagaries of the
vote at the recent Presidential election,
the New York World shows that the
vote of 10 States, including Illinois,
New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania,
gave total of 6,6S0, $50, or nearly one.
half the probable total vote Of the
country. One surprising showing lie
that this is an increase of only l22, 237
over the vote of the same States in
1896. The average increase Of popu-
lation in ten years was 81 per cent,
while this increase in the popular vote
in four years is less than 2 per cent.
Mr. McKinley's plurality ia these
States this year was 5SO,375, a los.
from 1896 of 124, 235. Mr.. McKinley's
net less in the popular vote was 999-a
surprisingly CLOSE result in a total Of
above $3.50, 600 votes. Mr.. Bryan's mel
gain in votes 10 the thirteen States was
l23, 236-which IL 1,562 less than his
gain in New York.

Work of the Next Legislature.

1t will be well for the members of
the next General Assembly. and all
others interested IN the subject, to give
immediate attention to the work that
may be done by that body. Now is the
time to consider this subject, instead
of waiting until after the Legislature
conysnes.
1t is notorious that the early weeks
of the session are invariably dilatory,
and the closing days marked by a rush
OF business that absolutely prohibits
giving the properlattention to pending
measures. This results in two evils |:
The defent of good bills and the crowd
ing through of undesirable legislation.
Tbs next session will be marked by
two events-the election of two United
States Senators and the Inauguration
of Governor elect Hunn-that will in
terfere to a considerable extent with
the transaction of legislative business
The session, also, is limited to sixty
days-that is, Fay will be allowed for
that number of days only-and it is not
PAeoetAoa th"p Iuc iloLuDtTb Will care
to remain in session when they can
draw no compensation. 1t is import.
ant, therefore, that every minute oil
the actual working time be utilized.
Those who contemplate asking for
legislation should have their measures
ready for presentation during the first
week of the session-a period that gen
orally results in nothing beyond the
organization of the two houses. Blu,
II the right course is pursued, it can be
utilized for the introduction of lare,
number of measures and their refereno,
to the appropriate committees for con
sideration.
Let the members Of the next Genera
Assembly resolve to make record fol
themselves as a practical working body

The Railway Age prints table
giving the rank of the several States
as respects both population and rail-
way mileage. New York ranks first in
population, but seventh in mileage.
Illinois leads still in mileage-with
nearly ll,O00 miles-as she has done
for score of years. Maryland and
South Carolina we've among the first
States to use the railway. but they
have been distanced by newer States.
Maryland ranks twenty sixth in popu-
lation and thirty ninth in mileage,
while South Carolina is twenty fourth
in population and twenty-seventh in
mileage. Pennsylvania stands second
in both population and mileage. Texas
is third in mileage, though but
seventh in population. Virginia is
seventeenth in population, and eigh-
teenth in mileage, North Carolina
ranking close, as being fifteenth in
population and nineteenth in mileage.
Bleeding Kansas is State which the
railroads have to cross in going West,
and it results that Kansas, though
twenty second in population, is sixth
in mileage, while Massachusetts, is
sixth in population and thirty third in
mileage. Missouri is fifth in poIu-
lation and ninth in mileage, ranking
after Ohio, which is fourth IN popu-
lation and fifth in mileage. Nevada,
which il inferior to some of the Ter
ritories in population, ranks fiftieth in
this respect and forty sixth in mileage.
The Age thinks that Texas-tirst in
area-will by 1910 be first in mileage.
The Eastern States have about got
their railway growth, but the Fan
West and South have still large ex.
pansion to undergo. The United States,
not counting Alaska, or our island pcs
sessions, now has over T6,000,000 in
habitants and nearly l9l, 900 miles o.
railways. II the rate of increase ir
the last 10 years is maintained tbs
year 1910 will see in the same territory
says the Age, nearly $4,000, 600 peopl,
and more than 220,OO miles of steam
railways, with electric railways o.

The report scn, out Wednesday morn.

water stirred up the managers Of the
di,ciics below tho Hob Greek. Whose
prior rights were thereby ignotc,i. as not
suiiieicn, time has passed since the Twin
Lakes stored water was turned IN the

Sup; o; Irrigation Chew from Boone
that the water lad bccu turned ou' Of the

The BEET SUGAR OUTLOOK
Continued Favorable Conditions In the
Fields, and the Factory Being
Rushed Day and Night.

The reports from the thousands OF
acres OF bects is decidedly encouraging.
The plants are making rapid progress,
all the conditions being favorable. Irri-
CATION is in progress over most OF the
acreage.
At the factory, Supt. King is pushing
the work encrgeticaily. In the two shifts
about 900 men are employed. Steam to
the extent of 100 horse power is used to
generate electrical force, which is used
by day for hois,ing, etc, and at night
for the brilliant illumination necessary
for night work.
The progress OF the factory and the
growth in the beet fields promises that
Rocky Ford sugar will lie on the market
early in October.
The American Bee, Sugar company is
going to bc valuable factor in the de-
yciopmcn, Of the valley, aside from the
great influence OF the sugar factory. Its
10000 acres OF land are to bc finely im-
proved This fall from 500 to 500 acres
OF land are to be piowed for mex, year
cultivation. The large farms purchased
will bc cut into io-acrc tracts and each
subdivision made complete farm.
Dwellings OF good size and tasty appear
ancc will bc built on each tract, together
with barns, cis,crns and all improvements
needed by good farmer. These so-acrc
farms will be rented for the cultivation
OF beet and other crops. This work oi
development will bc commenced this fall.
and confined until all Of the company's
large real estate holdings have been con.
vrried into desirable farms. This onc
line Of the sugar company's will contrib.
