In biz speech Saturday Mr.. Grad.

alleged statement that "the indie
pendent voter Is a bushwhacker. "
Mr.. Bailey replied to that statement
last week. He said that be never had
called the independent voter a bush.
whacker. What be had said and still
said was that the independent voter
has no more influence in shaping the
legislation Of the country than bush
whacker had in deciding battles in the
civil war. He advocates close party
organization and said that all good
citizens should affiliate with some
party. OF course he thought that they
should ally themselves with the Re-
publican party, but II they couldn't
do that, and the worse came to the
worst, they should join the Populist
party. But he wanted them to get
into some party and have banner to

The Case Of Hanna.

Emporia Gazette; Seven years agt
the Democratic and Populist paperl
printed thousands OF columns OF abuse
Of Mark Hanna. The abuse hal
stopped and there is no more popular
American In the land than this same
Mark Hanna. Yet he Is the same
kind Of . man that he was seven years
ago, brave, honest, capable and true.
He is clean and bright and does
things. The people know this now
all the people, Democrats, Populists,
Republicans, Baptists, Catholics,
Presbyterians, Unitarians, vegeterians
and Indians not taxed.
All Of which goes to show that
Democratic abuse In the long run does
not hurt. Generally speaking the
man whom the Democrats abuse 10
the man for the Republicans to tic up
with. A man isn't abused by the
Democrats unless he is taking votes
from the Democratic party. And IL
be is doing that be Is engaged in \
laudable service. Unless Democrats
ere fools or knsves they can not be
taken from their party save by honest,
clean, respectable, methods; argu-
ments and sound logic. So that 1t is
a safe proposition that the man whom
Democrats abuse 10 clean and decent
and 10 doing the Republican party
service. This is as true today as 1t
was In 1896.

Tho Acreage In Sugar Bsets.

Tho Acreage In Sugar Bssts.
The area sown to sugar beets in the
United States in 1902, as estimated by
Messrs. Willett and Gray, New York,
Is 259,6lS acres, against 1925 acres
sdwn IN 1901 and $4,000 acres in
1900. Out Of the eleven states emu.
mersted a. participating in the in
dustry in 1902, eight show an increase
and one only decrease, in area over
that Of the preceding year, the aggre.
gate increase for the entire country
amounting to 12l,6SS acres.
The most notable increases in area
are in four states, which are credited
with about SS per cent Of the sggre-
gate area Of The country, viz, Mich.
gan, California, Colorado and Utah.
Michigan, with an area in the present
year Of $4,000 acres, shows an increase
over the area Of the preceding year Of
upwards Of 70 per cent, and for the
first time in the history Of the indus.
try takes rank as the leading state in
the area devoted to this product.
California, which has heretofore been
the foremost state in respect to sugar
beet area, is this year in second place,
with an acreage Of 7l,2S4 acres, the
largest area, however, ever sown in
the state, and one showing an increase
Of about 10 per cent over that Of the
previous year. Third in Importance
in this industry is Colorado, with an
area OF 80, 449 acres in 1902, against
2S,7OO in the preceding year, an in
crease Of Sc per cent. In Utah the
1902 area is $4,000 acres, against 49,
500 acres in 1900, showing an increase
Of 40 per cent. The other states Of
smaller production which show in
creases in area are Washington, Ore.
gon, Nebraska and Ohio. Wisconsin
and New York are credited with the
same area % last year. The only
state which shows a decase is Mime
sofa.
The Kansas City Journal in quoting
the above statistics remarks that the
outlook 10 not very encouraging to
the beet sugar enthusiasts nor 1t for
comparison with tin plate. WhyP|
The tin plate industry ten years ago
was unknown in this country. Now
there are over Is factories. Every.
thing has = beginning. Beet sugar is
less than ten years old as an industry
in this nation, yet this year the beet
sugar made by AZ factories will be
one-tenth the amount Of sugar used
In the United States.
The growth Of beet sugar produc.
ton has been marvellous. While the
worlds production Of sugar has in.
creased 800 per cent since 1860, cane
sugar has increased only 100 per cent
while beet sugar has q showing Of l..
l79 per cent. In lS99l90O, the latest
statistics at hand for the worlds pro-
duct, the beet sugar product was 5,
252,s44 tons and cane sugar 1925, 900
tons, this covering the principal sugar

Fire Alarm Turned In at 4
A. M.
Morning Blaze Caused Destruction
Ed. whitford's House
Burned Up.

An alarm of fire which was turned
in about four o'clock Sunday morning
hustled good many people out of bed
from their slumbers. Marshall w.
w. Mitchell sent in the alarm from
his residence TO the telephone office,
the operator Miss Jessie Presley in
turn gave it to the factory and inside
of half minute the whistle sounded.
Fire had broken out in the small
dwelling house belonging to Ed. f.
Whitford situated on the corner of
Pearl and Center streets and the
flames were under good headway when
discovered. The fire company did
good work when they got squared
away and prevented it from getting
into the adjacent buildings but the
house was practically destroyed
w. G. Huffman was Mr. Whitford's
tenant but was way from home and
there was no one in the house.
A portion of the household goods
were secured although Mr.. Whitford
lost quantity he had stored there.
His loss on house and contents is es-
timated at $500 on which there is an
insurance of $3.50.
