"A MASTER HAND.


is more than interesting, but when that
game reaches the plane of politics, with
the size of the hand increased to whole
state, and the wires to be played on, reach
ing the full length and breadth of it, and
tangled through every county, even enter
ing the great metropolis, then the play
is intensified in its interests and becomes
absorbing.
As hot campaign weares its length
along, the play of that past grand master
at the art, Murray Vandivel, the demo-
cratic state central committee chairman,
begins almost imperceptably, at first, to
unfold itself before the men in closest
touch with him, but not until the end and
and the final showdown, does the state
as whole, and do the people over its en-
tire area realize what an expert this man
Island the realization comes then just
as surely as the campaign ends, it matters
not whether the result be victory or de-
feat, for some of Murray Vandiver's
shrewdest and finest moves have been
made in loosing year, lost because the
odds were too great even for him.
Look back over the losing campaign
of ~ when Senator German was the
issue, and when the state went on repub-
lican landslide by from fourteen to
seventeen thousand! Did the state
as a whole realize that it was Vandiver's
work that made the loss of the legislature
not 10000, but matter of just 80 votes,
and these scattered over three coun.
ties?
A thing like that smacks of the wonder
full. A defeat is defeat to be sure, but
think of popular majority of over
1900, reduced by the skill of one man to
measley 38 votes, and widely scattered
at that.
Frank G. Wacter himself probably does
not know that what reduced his usually
heavy majority for congress, in his last
fight, to margin, just victory and no.
thing more. was not the strength of his
opponent among the Hebrew voters, who
usually supported him, but the hand
in the game which Murray Vandiver play
ed, coming out of the state and into the
city for once in the concerted effort to
knock Wachter out of politics, necessary,
and very necessary as Vandiver realized
then and as the rest of his party realize
now. Both of these incidents showed
his hand clearly because the defeats were
so remarkable, and because defeats of
such character emphasized the play of the
man against odds even better than win
ming fight where the odds are not 80 ap-
parent, and where Vandiver himself
keeps in the background as much as pos
sible.
Right now he is at his same old post,
watching, guiding and directing. Word
comes in that man, way out in some re-
mote corner of the state is kicking and
working against the ticket. Then lit
tie later perhaps a change comes over
that man, and he gets down to energetic
wofk-after sudden trip to Balti-
more.
Murray Vandiver is great harmoni-
ger, but that is not his strongest forte,-
this lies in his delicate working of the
many different sized, and very tangled
and uneaven wires, which lead up to the
keyboard under his hands-the complex
keyboard of democratic politics in thu
state, for playing which, Maryland has
never seen his equal BALTIMORE

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS,

The republicans seem to be throwing
considerable Mudd? Not nearly all of it
is coming our way either.
1t looks now, as though Goldsborough
would play his usual high handed gam e
in Dorchester and hand that county over
to the democrats. Go it Pilly!
Whenever the republicans cry "boss"
we think they mean McComas, and when
they cry "bosses" that they mean Nc
Comas and Stone. A good of many them
do mean that, too.
When McComas and Stone and Wach.
ter and the rest get together they usually
compromise by electing, the democratic
ticket. 1t isn't very hard for them to get
together on that.

Capital to Grow Beets.

Washington, Sept. 28.-Now that
experience has demonstrated that
the production of sugar beets
in the United States is an assured
success, the department of agricuIt
ure, which was largely responsible
for the introduction Of this valuable
vegetable, is eudeavoring to arouse
sufficient interest in the industry to
secure the investment of $750,O0O,.
600 of additional capital, with aview
to producing in this country all the
sugar that will be consumed in the
several states and territories each
year.
What is more the enthuiastic of.
ticials who are devoting their entire
attention to beet sugar production,
confidently expect to see the time
when the United States is not re
quired to import single pound Of
sugar from aforeign country. Nor
are they calculating upon the con-
sumption in the United States of all
the sugar produced in our insular
possessions. The report of Special
Agent, Chas. F. Saylor to the secre-
tary of agriculture upon the progress
of the beet sugar industry says:
"Ihe beet sugar industry has a
bright future. With the signing of
the protocols of the European sugar
producing countries and Great Brit
ain, at the Brussels conference, the
artificial stimulus to over-produc-
ton of the worlds sugar ended,
placing the sugar industry of this
country on basis subject to no laws
but those of its own enactment and
those naturally evoled from healthfnl
trade relations.
Tho cartel of Germany will no
longer place sugar on our markets
at less than the cost of manufactur
ing it. There is an end to the un
natural arrangement which compel
ed the people of several European
countrie, to pay heavy tax on the
suyar consumed in order to sub
sidize the sugar exported, and thus

IAN Immense Canal.

\ A Denver paper says that canal
that will be as large as a river, larg-
or in fact than the river from which
it will draw it's water, is the newest
development of irrigation in Colora-
do. The Ft. Lyon Canal Co., has
filed maps and charts of it's proposed
canal, which will be one of the larg-
est undertakings Of the kind that
has ever been attempted in this state
1t will be $50 feet wide at the bot
tom with sides sloping to 200 feet
at the top. 1t will range in depth
all the way from thirty to seventy
feet, and will be arranged to carry a
minimum OF ten feet of water. The
grade will be such as to give car
rying capacity at the minimum Of
1850 cubic feet per second. The
distance the water will be carried
will be over forty miles. 1t will be-
gin near Fowler on the Arkansas
river. From there 1t will flo W TWEEN
ty-six miles into Horse creek, few
miles south and east'of Sugar City.
The creek will be used to carry the
water for six miles more and then
another canal the same size as the
first one will carry the water eight
miles to the reservoir. This canal
company owns lib miles of water
ways, and when this work is com
pleted will have the largest irriga.
tion plant in the United States.

enable the manufacturers to sell in
other countries at less than the cost
of production"
In its efforts to induce large in
vestments in beet sugar factories,
the department Of agriculture points
out that consumers in this country
actually spent for sugar both home
grown aud imported in 1901, the
sum of s265, 100000. They further
point out that sugar is now the most
important of our imports, and is still
the one which, il produced at home
is best adapted to benefit our capi
tai, labor and agriculture.
In the beginning, declares Mr..
Saylor, capital was slow in taking an
interest in beet sugar production,
owing largely to the prevailing lack
of information as TO the production
of sugar beets. There wrs feeling
that beet sugar could never compete
with sugar produced from cane 1t
was later discovered, however, that
Europe, in the productson of beet
sugar was outstripping the produc
ers of cane sugar in the tropics. OF
the total sugar produced in the world
in 1901, that from ,beets constituted
65.4 per cent.
As result of these Investigations,
capital is today one of the aggressive
agents in promoting the beet sugar
industry. In the opinion of the de-
partment, capital stands in readiness
to furnish money sufficient to build
up this industry wherever it can be
shown that the conditions are right
and the farmers and the farmers are
ready to furnish the beets. Present
efforts are mainly directed toward Sc.
curing sufficient contracts with the
farmers.
An interesting feature Of the re-
port is chapter on the utilization of
the waste products Of beet sugar
manufacture. The principal item is
the pulp, which is worth today in the
neighborhood of $150 per ton. As
a food for stock it possesses rare
qualities.

Good Judgment.

During the recent strike of ma
chinists at La Junta one of the idle
workmen with large family was
sorely pressed for the necessities Of
life. He was a union man and car
ried union card. It was unlawful
for him to think of applying for work
anywhere around town. AS last
resort he struck out in the country
and got job in bayfield,. On Sat-
urday night he was paid off and re-
turned to town. Going into butch
er shop he threw down twenty-five
cents and said:
"Give me the biggest piece Of meat
you can for two bits"
The butcher looked all around and
finally dived under the counter and
brought out calf's head.
"There," said he sis the biggest
piece of meat I have got for quar-
ter"
"All right" said the machinist,
wrap it up"
The customer was about to pick up
the parcel when he hesitsted.
SIS that union meats" he ,inquir-
ed.
No." said the butcher.

"Then can't take It," replied the
machinist seriously.
The butcher did not like to lose
the sale and began to think quickly.
"Wait minute" said he, and he
took the calf's head and disappeared
in a rear room. A moment later he
again appeared and laid the calfs
head down before his customer.
Its all right now," exclaimed
the butcher. "It's union meat"
"What did you do to it!" inquir'
ed the machinist.

ing and no man can more than
guess the result Of the issue to be
decided at the ballot box today.
Whatever the result we shall
not be greatly disturbed. The
ministers of the gospel. the BUSH
ness men of the city, the women of
the community and probably the
Sunday School children hold wildly
divergent views as to what is best.
The Enterprise is for Fitzger-
AIDS best interest, materially
and morally, the editor has been
nearer on the fence in this issue
than any that we can now recall.
AS prohibitionist we voted for
dispensaries as against open bar
rooms because we believe that
the change would be in the direc-
ton of prohibition. That there
are strong arguments pro and
con, we have recognized all along,
for instance, we have believed
that the city's revenue from
dispensarY might be greater than
the license paid by the bar-rooms
on the other hand we might be
better able to pay the difference
if the present status remains un-
disturbed and our commercial
advancement uninterrupted.
We have deplored the moral
conditions surrounding our sa-
looms but we would not be frank
if we did not admit that with a
badly managed dispensary the
conditions might be even more
deplorable.
In any event let us be tolerant,
mindful of each others rights,
whatever else others may have
done, we have done what we can
see to be our duty and willcheer-
fully divide todays verdict with
out an unkind criticism or an i'll
sentiment.

Nearly eight pages Of the Oc-
tober issue of the Southern Farm
Magazine of Baltimore devoted
to letters from officials of South
ern and Southwestern railroads
engaged in the practical task of
attracting white settlers are
striking illustrations of the wide
spread interest in Southern i'm
migration. The interest is
shown in the North and West by
the throngs of homeseekers NOV
ing from those quarters, by the
activity in the South of rea1-es-
tate men who have succeeded in
other parts Of the country, and
by the general spirit of inquiry.
It's complement is in the quicken
ing activities in many parts of
the South to make advantages
known and to welcome the new
corners.
Of special interest in this con-
nection is an article in the same
issue of the Magazine by Mr..
Thurston H. Allen of Florence,
Ala, who presents the detailed
figures of the experience of Ger
man settlers in Alabama with
several kinds of crops. This
thrifty class depens largely upon
itself, but others look to the ne
groes as helpers in their farming
operations. Much apprehension
about the capabilities of the ne
groes as farm laborers has been
created by agitators. Mr.. Thorn
as P. Grastv contributes some
sensible advice on this point, to
the effect that the farm is a first
class school for the proper edu-
cation of the negro, and he ur-
ges that meanwhile Southern
farmers might find relief from
temporary inconvenience by Civ
ing more attention to the raising
of good grade livestock.

facturers' Record Publishing Co.
