can be utilized for the production of
sugar beets. There is frequently suffi
cient rainfall during the spring to ger
inmate the seeds and give the plants a
good start, but it is essential that there
should be a way to irrigate during the
summer, and for this reason a gasoline
engine or large windmill is necessary
in those localities where irrigation is
not practicable from streams. During
the early fall when rains are disastrous
to the vital qualities in the beets there
is little danger of rainfall on the west
erni prairies. The soil, too is of such
a nature that it is especially adapted to
the production of the sugar beet
Western Kansas has heretofore been
considered the exclusive property of the
cattlemen. The uplands where even
little irrigation is impossible will proba-
bly, continue to be so, but there is no
reason why the bottom lands should
not be extremely productive. 1t requires
very little land to support large popu-
lation in a sugar beet region, because
ten acres of sugar beets is equivalent
in market value to so acres of wheat or
whole section devoted to pasturing
cattle. If put into sugar beets western
Kansas is capable of supporting an inn
mense population
All hail the sugar beet!

years. The pain in my back and limbs
was so severe that could hardly walk

physicians but they could do nothing
for me and I spent lots of money for
other remedies. but without obtaining
relief In addition to the backache
there was a difficulty with the kidney
secretions which was distressing and
annoying especially nights. When
saw Doan's Kidney Pills advertised I
procured a box at Rowley & Shows
drug store and gave them a fair trial.

Jo1NTIsTs AND OFFICIALS.

Dispatches from Wellington, KaS,
this week state that upon advice of the
mayor, city attorney and town council
the city treasurer has accepted $500 from
jointists as license money for the priv
ilege of operating saloons and selling
liquor, presumably undisturbed.
AS the names Of the men who pro-
pose to conduct the saloons and who
paid the money are given and the state
ment not denied, the dispatch is prob
ably true.
In 1880 the Kansas legislature passed
what is known as the prohibition
law abolishing saloons and making it
a criminal offense to sell liquor or con-
duct Joints" or dives in the state.
The penalties We're made most severe
for violations of this law. Up to the
present date this law has not been re-
pealed. Good men have differed in the
past as to the wisdom OF the law in
question and as to it's powers for good
or evil, but few sworn officers of the
law have openly advocated violating its
provisions in so bold a manner as the
Wellington officials
That "bootlegger" or a ''jointist"
should have no respect for a law which
interferes with his business is hardly to
be wondered at, but that officers OF the
law themselves should take such action
seems almost incredible. With officials
violating the laws themselves how can
the whisky peddler be blamed for fol-
lowing the example given him
Scarcely a day passes in Shawnee
county but the chief of police or some
of his officers places under arrest one
or more parties charged with violating
this same prohibitory law. Both To-
peka and Wellington are in Kansas.
and the same laws are applicable to
each. The question plainly put is this:
Should officers who violate the laws on
the statute books be any more immune
from arrest and punishment than The
bootlegger himself? 1t would certainly
seem not This Wellington case is
simply cited as an example. The men
in question are undoubtedly respect
able citizens, having the esteem of the
community in which they live, but such
action gives little comfort to officials in
other counties who are earnestly trying
to enforce the prohibition law.

NEED OF SOUND LAWS.

The recent decisions of Judge Hazen
on the Hurrel law and a city ordinance
in which he held both to be invalid,
points to the two vital reasons why the
prohibitory laws and ordinances of the
state and cities are so often found to be
null and void. The reason is that they
are drawn by persons who know little
about law making or, If they be pre-
pared by competent lawyer, then some
one who knows nothing about law max
ing adds an amendment and the result
is that the courts hold the laws to be
invalid.
If there are certain points in laws and
ordinances to be pointed out by the
courts to show clearly why they are
not good then there are certainly rules
and presidents to be followed which
would make the laws iron bound. 1t is
a poor rule that does not work two
ways. If some one well acquainted with
the constitution of the state, with the
laws and the right of citizens and COM
munities would take the time to pre-
pare formula for the drafting of iron
clad laws and ordinances regarding the
prohibitory amendment which could not
be broken, that book could be adver-
tised as being "a volume which should
be in the archives of every well regu-
One trouble which ever confronts
some communities is that the original
laws regarding prohibition which were
passed after the amendment to the con-
stitution was adopted, were meant to
enable the county officers to suppress
the illegal sale of liquor. Where such
officers have failed or neglected to
carry out the intent of the laws the
city councils have passed ordinances
in order to clothe the police with the
authority necessary to a crusade
against the breakers and violators of
the prohibitory laws. As the original
laws were for the use of county Off
Gals and as the average councilman is
not a lawyer and does not know how
to even follow the elementary principles
of Blackstone, the result is that one
city ordinance after another Is found to
be worthless.
1t would not be a bad idea to have
a commission appointed to draft a set
of plans and specifications for the use
of legislatures and councilmen who
wish to pass liquor laws and ordinances.
The commission should compile all the
'tdon'ts" that are necessary to be avoid
ed in order to make good laws.

MILK PRODUCTION PAYS.

From certain sections of the state
come reports indicating that the dairy
a and creamery industry is on the gain.
If true this is gratifying because of the
relation which that branch of agricul-
ture bears to all of the great grain
growing states. It is a hopeful sign of
material prosperity.
There are 8 number of good reasons
10 be given for, and none against this
line OF farming. The fact that it is al
ways remunerative for the time and
outlay upon it brings it to the front
Milk, butter and cheese at all seasons
of the year, IL they are of the first quail
Aty and properly marketed, bring good
prices. The great hindrance to it's be-
coming a better paying means of liveIl-
hood is because of the inferior grade
which Is turned out. Then, the COW Is

grain and rough feed products of this
state go to waste. She usually has
keen appetite and consumes with relish
whatever is put before her. From it all
she yields generous quantity of milk
which IN the hands of the trained larry
man becomes easily salable products.
This master of allowing farm products
to leak away is important but in it lies

GLOBE SIGHTS.
[From the Atchison GIobe.l


Some people can be made to believe
any thing except that they don't know

You never hear of a mans family be-
ing interesting until he is elected or ap-
pointed to office.

though he thinks he is the only honest

The desire that every town man has
to some day live on a farm, is really
due to a longing to get away from the
neighborS.
The man never lived who could be
convinced that certain things were nee
essary for his wife because her preacher
said so.

Other men can see into the future and
see a demand for things that do not

HAIL THE SUGAR BEET.

The results Of Secretary Coburn's in
vestigatfon of the sugar beet expert
ments in Finney. Kearney and Hamil-
ton counties must be extremely crafty
ing to the people of western Kansas.
Gratifying because they prove that
there are possibilities before that Sec
ton hitherto undreamed of; because it
may mean that regions heretofore de-
voted to vast cattle ranges may be-
come thickly populated.
The experiments were conducted the
past sum mer under unfavorable condi-
lions. The farmers were not prepared
for the work; they knew little of the
methods necessary to raise sugar beets;
their land was not ditched for properly
irrigating the crop; they were accustom-
ed to dealing with large tracts and did
not understand the necessity of con-
fining their efforts to a comparatively
few acres
Notwithstanding all these drawbacks
numbers of the experimenters made a
net profit of from SIS to $50 an acre,
and it is believed that in another year
or two, with added experience, they can
make a profit of from $50 to 800 an
acre. This is done in Colorado and it
ought to be accomplished more easily
in Kansas.
Colorado is not an agricultural state,
yet the five beet sugar factories in the
state paid to the beet sugar raisers
more than three million dollars last
year. The comparatively small area
which produces the beets necessary to
run these factories may be realized
when it is stated that the largest of
these factories, the one at Rocky Ford
paid out approximately one million dol
lars for the product of $4,000 acres. or
