STRONG {.
WORDS;

The following editorial from the
Atlanta constitution, one Of the most
vigorous Democratic papers in the
country, is a splendid endorsement of
President Roosevelt's Panama policy.
The Panama case is one of the kind
where the fact should dictate duty
rather than sentiment, guesses at in 3
ternaticnal. law and partisan consider
ations. WHAT are the facts in the
case? Colombia committed acts of
government tnat put fully in jeopardy
all the rights, interests and aspira-
tions Of the people OF, her department
Of Panama. They believed tine re-
suit would pc to rob them of the
isthmian canal and doom them TO a
future of inconsequence and poverty.
They frankly and in ample season
warned the authorities at Bogota that
if that sacrifice was demanded Of
them, they would se:ede and set up
an independent government. sp
"Tne sacrifice was called for. and.
Panama declared her independence.
Her people never for moment need
ed the urging Of the American govern
ment or the alleged Vaccinations Of
Bunau-Varilla to do what they did.
WAS the Republic Of Panama born
too quicklya Revolutions are Caesar
rian Operations. The American re-
volution was born the very moment
the vote was announced that adopted
the Declaration Of Independence
did our government recognize the
Republic of Panama too soon /, If We
did we should go back on our track
and reverse our recognition Of the
French Republic within three days of
its proclamation, and our recognition
ct the Brazilian republic, in fou. days
after Dom Pedro was shipped to
Europe. In the Panama case we took
FIVE days in, which to learn that the
newly proclaimed republic was I'M
opposed and in full control Of the
country by consent Of its inhabitants.
~ "What was the United States to do
in such a case, with It's obligations as
to the Panama transit and neutrality
upon TT
'"Our marines were landed to do
our duty in that one respect only and
to exercise that right % preserve
them was the only Office performed by
our forces on and near the istnmus.
Suppose we withdraw oar recogni.
ton and reject the treaty. Whist
will be our position then, ais viewed
by the other governments Of Europe
and America that also have recognized
the republic of Panama Are we to
do this ridiculous thing, abandon our
treaty rights in Panama. give up the
canal there, withdraw our guardian
ship of rail transit now going on and
go hunting for terms with people who
would be fools if they did not profit
themselves tremendously by our predi-
cament7 #
Let it be admitted that all that
has been quoted from Senator Hoar
and from Senator Daniel and other Of
his Southern colleagues is true and
yet no case is made that involves con-
nivance with rebellion on the 18TH
mus or a sacrifice Of the national
nonor in dealing favorab]y with the
new republic through the ratification
of the pending treaty

Sugar Beet Notes.

Halsey Whitehead, of Argentine, this
year raised five and one-quarter acres
of sugar beets which will average six
teen tons to the acre and is so well sat
istied with the crop that he will double
the acreage next year Mr.. Whitehead
is great bean raiser, but believes it
poor policy to put all ones eggs in one
basket, and the failure of the bean crop
this season vindicated his judgment.
His crop of sugar beets is pronounced
by experts to be the finest they had ever
seen and the tests will no doubt show
that they contain sixteen per cent of
saccharine matter They were shipped
to the factory at Lansing, and will be
paid for at the rate of "a. so per ton for
beets testing 12 per cent, with a bonus
of 33t cents for each per cent over that
test.
Farmers in Argentine are turning to
the raising of sugar beets, and the failure
Of the bean crop will no doubt lead to a
curtailment of the acreage Of beans and
corresponding increase in the beet
acreage. VIM Markley this season had
in four acres of beets and Philip Smith
sixteen acres.-Ex.
The Fremont Sugar Beet Company
held meeting recently and rented the
Towner Smith farm of 480 acres north
west of Fremont for term of years.
One-half will be planted to beets each
year. This company which is composed
of number Of Fremont business men,
has raised beets for the past four years,
much Of the time with not very favor
able results. This year the crop has
been good and the stockholders have
received handsome dividend on their
investment. The acreage of 1908 will
more then double that Of 1902. Beets
have done exceptionally well in this
vicinity this year.-Ex

CUBA AND BEET SUGAR.
Somo Understanding Should 30
Reached Dstwssn tho Sugar In
torests and Ccngrossmer

forests and CCn8r08Smen.
Michigan beet sugar manufacturers
deny emphstically the kilograms from
Washington that they are willing to
accept the proposed 25 per cent reduc-
ton in the tariff on Cuban sugar con-
tanned in the reciprocity treaty. They
say, however, that they propose to fight
the adoption Of the treaty, and will ask
their members of congress to stand
as they did at the last session.
One thing that initiates against the
sugar industry in Michigan is the fact
that the Havemeyer interest controls
one-half the stock in five Michigan
companies and hence on the reciprocity
proposition there seems to be diver
sity of interest. The American Sugar
Refining company, at the head of which
is Mr.. Havemeyer, is strenuously in
favor of free sugar from Cuba and it
has expended large sums of money in
disseminating literature in favor of
reciprocity with Cuba and the interests
| VI lHlS COMPANY Will SOlSldiy uOihi
nate the Michigan concerns in which
the refining trust holds stock
There is room for doubt that the
majority of the American people would
be greatly benefited by the Cuban re-
ciprocity program. The sugar trust
would be relieved in paying $4,000 600
in duties and TO what extent that re-
lief would initiate against the domestic
industry would be hard at this time to
say But the people who are clamoring
for tariff reduction on sugar are not
doing so in the interest of the American
sugar producer.
There have been reports that the
congressman who stood for protection
to American sugar in conformity to the
platform pledges of 1896 are weakening
that they will vote to accept the 25 per
cent reduction, etc. This may be true
but there ought to be definite under
standing on the subject. If the con-
gressmen proposes to do this and the
beet sugar producers are satisfied, well
and good, but it ought to be thoroughly
understood
