the leaders.
Only six days now remain for those
who have their hopes fixed on winning
the handsome birdseye maple writing
desk and the Waterman Ideal gold
fountain pen to get their points to-

an extra effort for and the ones who
win them will unquestionably feel that

work they put in. The May and June
special prizes have gone to boys who
live outside of Scranton, but this

later There is no reason to suppose
that these profits have diminished in
any degree but that they have rather
increased with experience and an ex-

But Mr.. SpreCkels is incorrect, or
misleading at least, in his reference to
the graduated sugar produced from
beets His statement implies that the
SpreCkels beet factories make this
grade of sugar and sell it on the open
market. But they do nothing of the
sort. They are not permitted to do So
The Sugar Trust has Spreckels by the

made by the Spreckels In California Is
raw beet sugar, and II is all shipped to
San Francisco where It is refined in
the California refinery now dominated
by the Trust
Spreckels Is only interested in the
sugar business as a refner. He is
simply a producer of raw beet which he
has to refine and, consequently, is

DISHONEST AND cowARDLY.

The inherent Cussedness Of Thurs
tons Advertiser has many times been
shown, but never to better effect than
in its treatment Of II. w. Klnney's
story Father Francis" which received
first mention in the Kilohaaa Art
League literary contest. In publishing
the story in the first place the Adver-
tiser broke faith with Mr.. Kinney and
did so for no other reason than its
knowledge that Mr.. Kinney had prom.
ised the manuscript to the Evening
Bulletin. The Advertiser praised the
story and considering the fact that a
representative Of the paper was one of
the committee of award there was
supposedly some degree of good faith
in what was said,
When the Bishop OF Panopolis
through a misunderstanding of Mr..
kidneys motives and presumably the
Advertisers in publishing the story,
protested against the general senti.
ment Of Mr.. Kinney's production. the
Advertiser suddenly discovered that
Mr.. Kinney was an emplOye of the
Evening Bulletin, and that a some
what similar story had been published
many years ago. Lacking &" ~1urage to
support its first contention of Mr.. Kin
pey's production being pure fiction and
very good at that so far as its literary
excellence is concerned, the cowardly
organ in an attempt to square itself
with the Bishop, proceeded to announce
its lack of responsibility for the author
and followed it up with ridicule OF him

1t is certain that Mr.. Kinney had nc
thought or intent of casting reflections
upon the Catholic church. He offered
his story as fiction and as such II re-
mains, The only dishonest or cowardly
act in the whole affair was committed
by the Advertiser.

DOLEFUL DOUBTS AND FARMERS INSTITUTE

his twaddle anent the Small farmer"
the American farmer" Here is an
extract froh his signed statment on
The Hawaiian Land Policy" in the
New Years edition of the Advertiser:
The small producer is so dependent
upon convenient market, that the
conditions and prospects of the market
have a very direct influence upon the
demand for small farms by those who
wish to make a living or part of liv-
ing from them.
American farmers have not come to
this country yet in any considerable
numbers. The Americans who have
taken up homesteads are, for the most
part, men without experience in farm
Ing If thousand Of the best farmers
in the United States were brought hero
and furnished with the best home
steads in the Territory, they would be
disappointed in the local conditions,
including expensive transportation, in
sufficient roads and unreliable mar
kets."
In his letter ITO the Farmers In
stitute," less than a month later, ap-
pear the words:
II notice in the newspapers some
doubt expressed as to the praCticability
Of profitable farming in the Territory.
I have no doubt on the subject and IL
is by such organizations as farmers
institutes intelligently and enthusiastic
cally carried on, that the success OF
| diversified agriculture will ne most ef-
| feCtively promoted"
Again quoting The Hawaiian Land
Policy;
In some localities adjacent to sugar
| plantations the small farmer has his
most favorable outlook. as he is sure
Of a cash market for his crop, If his

ity of the settler is in the general pros

sugar by the large estates. which makes

SPRBcKELS ON SUGAR.

1t is a long time since any member
Of the Spreckels family has been heard
from on the sugar question hence the
recent utterances Of John D. Spreckels
attract the more attention, This fac.
tion Of the Spreckels family has a dou.
ble-barreled sugar interest, one loaded
for refined and the other for the pro-
duction Of raw beet sugar, and the
greater of these Is the refined interest.
Mr., SpreCkels is correct in saying
that the production of beet sugar has
been a paying investment in Callfor-
mia. The result of the first season s
work at Watsonville. in about 1883,
was net return of ~ per cent, al
though no dividend was declared and
the result was never publicly announc-
ed till Claus Spreckels was before
