CIRCULATION
a NEW BRIDGE.

Four hundred residents of Wapello
county, the presumption being that
they are all taxpayers, have petition
ed the board of supervisors asking
them to erect a bridge across the Des
Moines river, probably in the vicinity
of Cliffland This means much to OF
tumwa and it's merchants and If the
board of supervisors can In any way
commensurate with the result, figure.
out plan by which the structure can
be built, it should be done. i.
The bridge should be built for sew
eral reasons, chief among them being
the fact that the topography Of the
country south of the river is such
that farmers about the Teesdale place
and for many miles in two directions
at least, is such that the journey to
Ottumwa is not only fraught with
much discomfort on account of hills,
but is of such length that farmers
prefer not to take the time to visit
4 the county seat for the purpose Of do
ing their trading.
That section of county northwest
of Eldon is populated with proserops
people. They have long desired a
bridge at or near Cliffland and now the
sentiment has crystalizeo into the
form of a petition, signed no doubt by
a heavy majority of the farmers resid.
ing in the neighborhood of, say, the
Teesdale place. Their claims are
entitled to recognition at the hands of
the supervisors, who, it is fair to pre-
sumo, are willing to consider them in
s the light of the benefits to be derived
and the condition of the bridge fund.
The supervisors, should, however, If
!, possible, grant the demands of the pc
titioners. thereby comforting bene-
f1tynot only on them but upon Ottum-
waNmerchants as we'll.

SUGAR FROM BETS.

The rapidly increasing share of the
worlds sugar consumption which is
supplied from sugar beets is pointed
out by publication in the Monthly
Summary Of Commerce & Finance,
just issued by the treasury bureau Of
statistics Under the head Of "The
Worlds Sugar Crop of 1900" it shows
that the total beet sugar production
of that year was 5,950,000 tons and
the cane sugar crop 2,S50,000 tons,
more than tWo-thirds of the worlds
sugar supply being thus produced
from beets., This statement is follow
ed by a table showing the cane and
beet sugar production in each decen-
NAL year beginning with 1870 and the
percentage which these rival sugar
plants have in supplying the sugar
consumption of the world. This table
shows that in 1910 beets supplied less
than S per cent Of the worlds sugar
consumption; by 1850 they supplied
over IA per cent; by 1870, "a per cent;
by 1890, over SO per cent, and in 1900,
67.71 per cent.
The growth of sugar consumption is
also shown in striking manner by
this table. In 1910 the total sugar
crop Of the world was only 1.150, 900
tons; in 1870, 2,416,ooO tons; in 1890,
{, 100000 tons, and in 1900, 8,s0O,00O
tons. The worlds population has no
more than doubled during the sixty
years, probably not so much; yet its
consumption of sugar is today fully
eight times as much as in 1870.
The article in question begins with
statement from the London Stat.
list to the effect that but single fac.
tory in all the United Kingdom now
refines cane sugar, all the others be
ting exclusively occupied in preparing
for the market the raw product of the
beet farms Of Germany, France, Aus
| tria and Russia.

gle of effiatus or any celestial gift be-
yond that of energy which enables
some men to take an ordinary equip
ment of brains and by keeping ever
lastingly at it so storing and cultivat-
ing the centers of intellectual force
that along certain lines they mount
above their fellows and by general con-
sent are elevated to the rank of gen.
ius. The essence of genius is work.
1t is not long hair and an eccentric

industry applied to certain thing
until the person applying that industry
is capable of producing better results
than all others in the channel in which
this energy is directed.
To say that the Honorable David
Brant is not a genius is mistake. 1t
is the fact that he is genius and that
in the field of industry he is untiring
undiscouraged and triumphant that
makes his candidacy for lieutenant
governor worthy of distinguished con-
slderatiOn.

He was born on his fathers farm
near Blue Creek, Franklin county, In
diana, February II, 1S49, and in March.
1862, accompanied his parents to Iowa.
The father purchased tract of 200
acres in Lincoln township, Winneshiek
county. The son remained at home
until twenty-one years of age, by
which time he had acquired land of his
own and farmed for himself three
years. During this time he accumu-
lated some means and in the spring OF
1873 he purchased the lumber bust
ness at Ridgeway, which he has since
conducted. He also owns large acre
age in Iowa, Minnesota and South Da-
kota
Mr.. Klemme has always affiliated
with the republican party. He served
as justice of the peace at Ridgeway
for fourteen years and as postmaster
for four years. In 1893 he was nomi-
mated by the republicans for represen-
tative and served in the Twenty-ffth
general assembly on the following
standing committees; Municipal cor
porations, private corporations, print
ing, labor and school for deaf and
dumb. He was also chairman Of the
visiting committee to the Home for
Orphans and INDECENT Children, at
Davenport In 1895 he was re-nomi-
mated and elected to serve in both the
regular and extra sessions of the
Twenty-sixth general assembly, and
again in 1897 he was re-nominated
for the same Office and served in the
Twenty-seventh general assembly, be.
ing member of many of the impor.
! tant committees in both sessions.

The liquor traffic in Ottumwa is al
ready beginning to ask pay for the
work done by it in the late city cleo
ton. The new council last night
granted to the Anheuser-Busch Brew
ing association the necessary consent
to conduct wholesale liquor business
or the lot adjoining the Union depot.
The next move on the part OF the
liquor interests will be to demand a
reduction in the saloon license from
81, 500 to 81 1000. We have little doubt
but that this demand will also be COM
piled with and the regular taxpayer
can prepare to go down into his pock1
cts to make up some $4,000 of license
money annually that will thus be lost
to the city revenues. Some things
come high in this world, but when
people in their sovereign capacity
say that they want them, they must
not then object to paying the fiddler.
The liquor interests now seem to have
Ottumwa by the throat and when
they say dance" the people will have
no alternative but to comply.

WAY TO GET GOOD ROADS.

very decisive step toward good
roads is being taken by the citizens of
the northern part of Des Moines coun-
ty in and near Mediapolis. The roads
there are peculiarly laid out leaving
but one road leading into Mediapolis
from the village of Kossuth and all of
Huron township and the greater part
of Yellow Springs township-a very
rich farming district with Mediapolis
as the chief marketing point. When
the roads are muddy the immense
amount of travel on this road and the
quality of the soil soon renders it al
most impossible and sometimes who'll
ly so. The imperative need, therefore,
of road that will remain good under
all the trying changes of climate is
recognized by all and a scheme is now
on foot that all hope will solve the
problem effectively. Within one-half
mile3of the road lies an immense
gravel bed on Hawkeye Creek and
the abundant gravel is easily obtain
able. A petition was circulated ask
ing the county to aid in grading and
crawling the road from the eastern
boundary of Kossuth to the western
boundary of Mediapolis, a distance of
TWO niles anu leddlllS ulISCIly LII u IAc
entire length of the main street of
Mediapolis, thus affording good road
! for the farmers to market. The sign
ers Of the petition promise a certain
number of days work with team or
it's equivalent in cash and over 300
such days work was easily obtained.
This plan seems to be worthy Of
emulation, and in view of the terrible
condition of the roads at the present
time, the subject is one of deep inter-
est.
A road scrapr, industriously work
ed, is all well enough, but the value of
| the work as permanent Improvement
and as means of relief in the spring
cannot begin to compare with thoro-
fare, the base of which is made with
material impervious to water.
From the standpoint of economy, a
road that can be traverse1 in any
kind of weather wou- be paying in
vestment to rural residents and city
merchants
Now is the time to begin agitating
the question in Wapello county.

HON. DAVID BRANT.

David Brant, candidate for the re-
publican nomination for lieutenant
governor of Iowa, was born in Shelby
county, Indiana, July 6, 1850. In 1856
his parents removed to Iowa, first set
ting on a farm in the western part Of
Monroe county. In 1857 they remov-
ed to Ringgold county. During the
war, the head of the family being in
the army, Mr.. Brant did such work on
the farm as he was able to perform.
At the close Of the war, when 16 years
old, he began working for farmer in
Union county, where he remained till
four years later when he went to Iowa
City to attend the State University.
He began newspaper work when a
student, and after leaving the uniyer-
sity, continued in that business. In
1880 he went to Cedar Rapids, later
spent seven years on weekly in Linn
county, then returned to the daily
work, and is now editor of the Clinton
Daily Herald. He represented Linn
county in the regular and special ses.
sions of the 26th general assembly
Socially he is member of the Odd
Fellows, knights of Pythias and Elks

SAYS DAVID BRANT is A GENIUS

The Creston Gazette believes that
genius is but another name for indus
try, and upon this broad ground places
the Hon. David Brant upon the pedes-
tai of Iowa men of genius. From this
premise the Courier is entirely willing
to accept the Gazette's amendment.
The Gazette says:
Now comes the Ottumwa Courier
and under the pretext of good word
for the Honorable David Brant, Of the
Clinton Herald, and his candidacy for
lieutenant governor, drops the remark
that the Honorable David is mot a
genius Now genius is the powersof

and there is about genius neither ma
