Beet Raising Proposition.

Our farmers should thoroughly lnves.
tigate the beet raising proposition. 1t
seems that Marshall county soil is well
adapted to the growing of beets and
that such crop will be profitable. The
Kalamazoo industry has submitted its
proposition and it's agents are explain
ing the matter to all who care to set
apart from three to five acres as a trial
crop.
A representative will meet the farm
ers at Kuhn's hall in this city on March
Bird for the purpose OF giving further
information. Our farmers are urged
to be present on this occasion. Mayor
Jones is authorized by the company to
make contracts with the farmers.
Ii this crop can be made profitable
here, it will be stimulus to the city
as we'll as to the farmers who engage in
the enterprise. The chances for fac
tory are very favorable if beet raising
proves success. No farming yields

den farming, and for this reason our
farmers should give beet raising a test

Eva Reynolds and Miss Bessie Wrights-
man, the violin solo by Mr.. Patton and
the instrumental trios by Messrs. Pat

THE OFFICIAL BADGE.

The official Democratic badge OF
the campaign has been invented. 1t
IL three leaf clover. On one leaf
are the words: "Peoplc. not trusts"
on the second, -Republic not empire
and on The third. Bimctalism, not mo
nometalism."
Above these is scroll in red. The
badge and its significance is thus Of
iicially described:
-Ihe common clover is emblematlc
OF the common people enlisted in
common cause. Democracy stands
as their advocate and defender. advo.
eating equal rights for all aud deny
ing special privileges to any.
-Ihe separate leaves represent the
three great divisions OF constitutional
government Legislative. executive and
judicial. Democracy demands ,hat
the integrity and proper sphere Of
each To he restored and maintained.
The colors Of the badge were taxi
ell from the fragments OF the peoples
money, silver. gold and grcenbacks.
which. before tie reign Of the money
trusts. were cqu lily priced, issued in
harmony with the constitution and
the circulation unrestricted 10y bond
issues; the red on the scroll repre-
scnts the price paid fnr human lib
crty.
The three leaves serve rs tables on
which time has recorded the mumen-
tons issues Of 1900; lenpIr.not trusts;
BirnetHlism, not monOmetalism: Re.
public, not empire. Democracy il
ready to meet the issues and il eager
for the conflict.
The fraternity Of labor il shown in
the construction Of this little badge.
Ii required human toll III the mine.
factory, farm, transportation and ex.
change to furnish the finished pro-
duet. Democracy holds each voca-
tIon i'll equal honor, and opposca a!!
Determinations that would iniurc one
to benefit another.
The joining 81 the three leaves
will manlfcst the harmony Of three
parties cooperating III their defense
Of human liberty.
Then let us wcnr the hadge. the
common clover. cmblnmatic Of the
people enlisted in a common cause.
Thus united we can keep the money
powers, trusts and impenalists from
destroying our field OF clover. The
land vii! then become enriched and
the honest ioilor will again receive
his wonted bountiful hnrycsts. This
done, education aud civilization will
he advanced, investments aud labor
rewarded, homes md happiness re.

statutes are known to he violated to
bring action for their enforcement.
There arc on the statute books Of tho
United States AN anti trust law. Ex-
Senator Edmunds. probably the
greatest LIVING constitutional law yer
says it Is sufficient. if rigidly enforced
to wipe out every trust in existence
yet III the last three years more trusts
have been formed than III the whole
previous history ~ our government.
Why did not Mr. Griggs enforce the
antitrust law? Why did he not. at
least, make an attempt to- enforce It?
Why did not Mr.. Mckinley censure
his cabinet officer for derclictiou oi
duty? Surely, no intense hostility to
trusts has been shown here.
