BENTON Harbor's big Factory.

The great sugar beet factory at st.
Joseph, which cost complete S32O,OOO,
is the cause of one of the biggest chan
Gerry cases ever tried in Berrien coun-
ty. The defendants are the Wolverine
Sugar Co, the Farmers d Merchants
bank of Benton Harbor. and the
Northern Trust Co.. of Chicago. The
plant was built by the Dyer Co., of
Detroit. and equipped for business.
The Wolverine Co. gave plaintiffs
notes and mortgages for $1O7,7GO,
upon which the interest has never
been paid, and they now ask the court
to sell the big plant to satisfy their
claim. For the last two years the opcr-
ators have failed to secure enough
beets to run the factory, as the beets
failed to mature. and the growers re-
turned to the fruit industry. AS last
resort the owners went 10 Shelby, Ind,
where they contracted for 1000 acres
OF beets for this seasons run. Hopes
were entertained that the factory
would resume operations under salts
factory conditions in few weeks.

The Colombian Revolution.

A Panama dispatch says: "PlOts
and counter-plOts fill the air. There
is war here of the most hideOus kind
and strife that tears the country
asunder, in which brother is pltted
against brother, friend against friend
and neighbor against neighbor. Fer
tile fields have been devastated. Once
thriving towns have been decimated
in population and villages have been
wiped out of existence. Bands of
armed men occupy every highway and
traffic is practically ut Il standstill,
while frantic women mourn their dead
and hungry babes clamOr for food.
Great battles must soon be fought,
and upon the results will depend not
alone the supremacy of the clashing
parties in Colombia, but also, perhaps,
the integrity of the territory of three
neighhoring republics-Venezuela, Ec.
uador and Nicaragua.
A Colon report states that the gov
eminent is alleged to have already
spent not less than $120O0O,O0O in
silver to suppress the rebellion. and
the Liberals are said to have expended
an even larger amount, although their
volunteers are supposed to serve sole
ly for patriotism and to receive no
pay.

Ing Of the inroads made upon European
commercial life by American competi-

genuine scare on the continent about
the competition of American manufac-

are consulting IL any combination is

Russia. in response to discriminating

This unfriendliness is not likely to re-
suit In war. The relations Of European
governments are too intricate and I'M
certain among themselves for anyone
to take that risk, and combination is

SampsOn UnsOund Mentally

The attorneys for Admiral Schley
have been privately informed by the
friends of Admiral Sampson that his
health is such that he will not be able
TO appear as a witness before the court
of inquiry. \ news dispatch from Adj
miral SIMPSONS home guardedly init
mated the real situation. 1t said:
He is gaining in physical strength,
but his mental health continues to
steadily fail"
In other words, it is suggested that
his mental state Is such that he is not
competent to give testimony. For
more than year rumors have been
coming from Boston concerning Samp-
sons mental indisposition. Recent re-
ports seem to give substantial corrob-
OratiOn; for instance. friends are now
saying that he cannot remember in the
afternoon what he said or did in the
morning.
Schley's attorneys, discussing this
development. say they will insist upon
the certificates of naval surgeons to
the effect that he is unable to come to
Washington.

Wns shaner Honest.

Charges that the national officers OF
the Amalgamated Association had mis-
represented the attitude Of the United
States Steel corporation toward organ
lied labor, in order to get the members
of the association out on strike were
made by former Vice President ]. ID.
Hickey at Il meeting of the Bay View
lodge. Milwaukee. In n cool, unimpas-
stoned manner, Mr.. Hickey gave the
members Of the lodge the result OF his
recent trip to Pittsburg. The situation
as summed up by Mr.. Hickey is that
the strike is practically lost. as ~ per
cent of the mills are working.
Mr.. Hickey went into details to show
that Secretary Tighe and President
Shaffer had misrepresented the facts
when they appealed to the members
OF tho association to strike. on the
ground that the steel corporation was
determined to crush organization and
ruin the Amalgamated Association.
Mr.. Morgan offered Shaffer four adj
ditional mills for which he was Will
ing to sign the scale as an expert
ment. and then he told Mr. Shaffer
that if the organization kept faith in
these four mills and lived up to the
agreement he would pledge his word
that in two years every mill in the
combine would be included in the con-
tract With the AuIa,gamated This
was the most reasonable proposition
that has ever been made to the asso-
citation and it was clearly the duty of
President Shaffer to have accepted it
then and there.

A TnrIn for the philipp,De,.

The statement is ma lie that Secretary
Root has forwarded to Governor Taft
customs tariff for the Philippines,
which is to be formally enacted by
Congress If the views of the Admins
tration are accepted by that body. As
to what is to be done If Congress pre-
sumes to think FOR itself and fails to
accept the Administration view, we are
not informed This, however, is a very
improbable contingency, for when a
Republican Congress Will pass such a
measure as the Spooner resolution, and
do it almost without debate. the Ad-
ministration is reasonably certain of
getting almost anything 1t desires in
the way of tariff legislation for the
Philippines.
Still, the circumstance that a tariff
has been formulated by the Admins
tration and forwarded to the islands by
the Secretary of War with the under
standing that Ii will be enacted by
Congress IL that body accepts the Ad-
ministration view, should arrest the So
ber thought of the country and sug-
gest the query, whittier are we drift
ing?" Clearly it Is the prerogative of
Congress to deal with the question of a
tariff between those islands and the
rest of the United States, il there is
TO be any tariff: but nanifestly IL is
the purpose of the Administration to
control the matter absolutely. Ac-
cordingly the tariff has been framed,
and IL will be presented to Congress
as an Administration measure. What
ever may be the views Of Individual
members, there is no reason to doubt
that under the party lash II will go
through as prepared.
Men may sneer at the idea of impe-
rialism. and fiippantly declare it to be
q mere figmeat OF disordered political
imagination; but those who cannot see
the imperialistic tendencies of the Ad-
ministration's methods must be either
wiilfuliy or stupidity blind II is as
clear as light that the foundations are
being laid for permanent government
OF the Philippines outside of the Con-
stitution., and that in such government
the great and controlling power win be
the President. In this connection 1t
