Socialist Organ Criticises His $50.
Called BenevoIence."

Called BenevoIenee."
Berlin, Nov. 26.-The Socialist or.
gam, Vorwaerts, in page and half,
deals with what it calls the hypocrisy
of idealizing Herr Krupp as benevo-
lent genius" The paper does not
touch on the immediate charges which
it brought against the deceased, but
analyses the pension system of the
Krupp firm, which, it says, is a
species of refined swindling," adding:
''The enormous so-called benevolent
funds have been built up by compul-
sorry contributions from the employees
who could be arbitrarily deprived of
participation in the advantages. They
are required to contribute 2R per cent
of their wages for twenty years before
they are eligible to a pension upon dis.
ability In the meantime if an employe
is discharged or resigns he loses all
he has contributed, often exceeding
$3.50. Thus employees are morally and
economically terroriZed and must in
humility accept every petty regulation
of the firms officials or lose 2k per
cent of what they have earned in the
firms service. This terrorism is ap--
piled to political opinions where they
become known. The number of men
leaving or discharged during the past
three years averaged 1000 to 5000
yearly. The employees found the sys
tenn so unsatisfactory that five great
meetings were held this year for the
purpose of seeking legal redress"
The Vorwaerts cites an instance of a
labor representative on the advisory
committee of the benevolent pension
fund who mildly criticised the manage
ment and who, several days later, hav-
ing in the meanwhile paid his annual
dues, was dismissed.

An Accidental Autumn Development
of Great Possible Value,

The Michigan station reports an acct
dental development in sugar beet grow
ing. 1t is of special interest because
it may lead to new and improved
method of procedure and therefore
prove of great value to sugar beet
farmers. A test of it would be in
order this fall.
In the year 1900 few sugar beet
seed were grown at the station, with
view to studying the question of
home production of seed: This expert
ment met with fair success, small
crop of seed being produced that year
and the same planted in the spring of
1901. The beets from this planting are
to be replanted the coming season.
The results thus far demonstrate the
possibility Of growing sugar beet seed
in that locality. The development Of
this branch of the industry will require
years Of careful work, but it suggests
a line of experiment that calls for fur
Their and particular attention.
From the plants that produced seed
in the fall of 1900 few seeds were
scattered on the ground. They lived
through the winter and came on the
following spring, giving a substantial
growth of beets Of good size, which
harvested Sept. Z, 8 and III gave av-
erage yields Of 1877 per cent sugar.
The possibility of seeding to sugar
beets in the fall is being tested by fur
ther experiment from seedlings made
in October, 1901.
The result Of this accidental expert
ment in fall seeding points to new
possibility in the management of the
sugar beet crop. Beets Of large size
and with satisfactory percentage of
sugar were produced. Could this
method of planting be practiced, it
would be great help in distributing
the. work of trimming the beets and
caring for the crop.

Desire Of Mr.. Roosevelt to Talk at

Leaders as to His Attitude and Their
Position on the Subjects Mentioned.
Message Practically Ready to Be
Placed in the Hands of the Printer.
Washington, Nov. 25.-President
Roosevelt will put the finishing
gress in the next twenty-four hours.
The document is practically completed
now, but it is the presidents desire
finally to consult several of the lead
ers in both branches of congress as to
one or two features of the message be-
fore he commits it to the hands of the
printer.
This was day of conferences at the
executive offices. The president ar
rived in his Office early and soon was
beseiged by callers. With several SEN
ators and representatives he had en-
gagements and he declined to see all
others. During the hour before lunch
con the president had brief confer
ences with Senators Allison Qa.),
Lodge (Mass), Foster (Wash.), Quay
(Pa.), Fairbanks Qnd), Stewart
New, McComas (Md.), Elkins CIV.
Va.) and Gibson (Mont.) and with
tives Cannon IlL), Babcock wis.,,
Nearly every one of the callers was
with the president so short time that
no opportunity was Afforded to discuss
the important questions the consider
alton of which is involved in the mes
sage.
Many of them announced as they
left the executive Offices that they had
called
Merely to Pay Their Respects.
Few of them discussed with the pres
ident any matters of policy.
With the views of all the president is
reasonably familiar. With Senator
Quay and with Speaker Henderson the
president was in conference for half
an hour or more. The former did not
hesitate to express to the president

with Speaker Henderson as to the
status of business during the short ses-
sion in congress, but the speaker de-
clined to enter into any of the details
of the conference.
Mr.. Cannon had only brief inter
view with the president during which
they talked of no public questions.
1t is the policy of the president to
talk at some length with the congress
sional leaders as to his attitude and
their position on trusts and tariff.
The discussion of the latter subject, it
is understood, will be with special ref
erence to the reciprocity question.
Speaker Henderson and Representa-
tive Cannon later in the day had con-
ference with the president.

JEWELS For THE HAIR.

A good deal of jewelry is being worn
in the hair, says an exchange. Gilt
butterflies, fancy pins and other effects
are quite little seen. Those that
could afford it bought tiaras upon oc-

to the multi-millionaire class almost
exclusively. Jewels on gowns are also
worn to quite an extent. Beautiful
creations of lace are frequently adorn-

covered with rubies that was very eff
