For Honest Elections.

The effect of the Investigations
into the election frauds to determine
the result OF the late election is Of
far less importance than its influence
upon future elections and the con-
duct of men connected with them.
There is no occasion for nervous
ness or anxiety in regard to the
claims of candidates honestly and
legitimately elected. No democrat
should hesitate on that score to as.
sist in exposing the frauds and bring
ing to justice the men who commit
ted them. There is no intention to
do any one an injustice. Any can
didate, whether democrat or repub
lican, who can show that he was hon.
estly elected will be entitled to the
full protection of the law and OF
every public official. But the cleo
ton judges, clerks and others who
stuffed ballot boxes, counted repub-
lican ballots for democrats, and per
mitted or practiced repeating, de-
serves to be and should be punished
to the full extent Of the law.
Election frauds have been com
mitted with high hand largely be-
cause of the immunity from punish
ment election criminals have enjoyed.
II the men who committed the frauds
of two years ago had been punished
as they deserved to be, there would
have been little if any fraud in the
late election. Unless those who it
may be possible to show were guilty
this time are punished, they and
others will be convinced that there
is nothing in the demand for homes
elections and that they can go on
committing their crimes election
after election with no fear of being
called to account for what they may
do.

than all other agencies in the last
five or six years to purify elections

Remarkable Voting.

The popular vote which has just
been cast up for the recent election
shows some rather remarkable fig.
ures.
Not only did Roosevelt receive a
record breaking plurality over Par
ker but he got it with half a million
less total votes cast than in the cleo
tion of 1900.
And possibly one reason why Will
liam j. Bryan's smile is little more
expansive then ever is the fact that
he polled in 1900 100000 more
votes than Parker did.
The figures are interesting and
are practically correct as given here

BIG PROFITS.
Beet Ralsers Of Northern Colorado
Weii Pleased but Preparing to
Make Their Income Cow
Still Larger.

The farmers in the Fort Collins
district after growing sugar beets
for several years, have decided that
the ind ustry is no longer an expert
ment, and that under the one, two
aud three year contracts now being
signed between the factories and the
growers there is an opportunity to
make more money in beet culture
than in any other crop grown here.
Potatoes and onions on occasional
years, when the market is high, will
surpass the sugar beet in profit Civ
ing, but the fact that a crop can be
sold at a good price three years be-
fore it is grown saves a great deal OF
worry every year over the uncer-
tainty of markets.
The fact that adjoining fields Of
beets, equally rich in fertility and
water supply, varied in yield from
five to ten tons per acres has caused
the growers to seriously consider the
question of proper culture of beets,
and radical changes in farm manage
ment will be instituted next spring.
Heretofore it has been the custom to
pay the Russians 81 per acre for
punching and thinning beets, "a per
acre for hoeing, and at the end OF
the season 81 per acre for pulling
and topping. The season for work
in the beet fields is but few weeks,
and many of the Russians and their
families are naturally anxious to
make all the money they can during
that time, working in the fields
eighteen hours day. A yield OF
ten tons per acre suits the so much
per acre lsborer a great deal better
than a twenty-ton crop, for the sim
pie reason that more acres can be
harvested in less time on the poor
yielding fields. This system practi-
cally puts premium on cultivating
field 80 that it will result in loss
to the owner, instead Of the profit to
which he is entitled. If the plan
now being considered is decided up
on, a great en- operative system will
be inaugurated in northern Colorado,
affecting several thousand men,
women and children. The plan is
yet in the rough, but will be on the
following order. Where crop
yields fifteen tons per acre or less
the farmer will allow his laborers
500; seventeen tons per acre, SZ2;
twenty tons at $22,50, and all above
that premitm of go cents per ton
will be allowed. Under it everyone
connected with the growing crop is
interested in making it return the
greatest tonnage that the soil and
water supply will permit.
The optimistic farmers believe
that by planting we'll selected home
grown beet seed on the choice acres
of the farms, and co operative cult

REMARKABLE
Surgeon Thrust Hand Into Man s
Body and Punched His Heart.
(London Chronicle.

America is the land of marvels. but
its surgeons cannot teach much to
English practitioner.
Our correspondent at Philadelphia
stated recently that DR.. Keen had
described "a new method of restor-
ing respiration in cases where other
methods have failed,' The "new'
method consisted of exposing the
heart of a patient, who was appar-
emily dead, and gently squeezing and
relaxing the organ until respiration
had been induced. DIR. Keen, it was
added, had been successful in four out
of q cases in which he had resorted
to this heroic measure.
The same daring operation has been
successfully performed in this coun-
try, as far back as 1898, the only diff
ference being that the heart was not
exposed by the cut of the surgeon s
knife, but was worked upon internal
ly.
A West End practitioner, who has
seen much surgical work at Guys
Hospital, described this operation to
one of our representatives. The pa
tlent was being operated upon for can
Ger, under an anaesthetic. The stom-
ach had been laid open and the sur
geon was proceeding with his work
when suddenly the heart dilated and
ceased to beat. In an instant the sur
geon's hand was thrust inside the
body and he commenced pinching the
the life of the patient, who was APP
parently dead, was saved. The Incl
dent was remarkable, not only for
the operation on the heart. but for
the cutting open of the stomach,
which was serious undertaking for
a surgeon in 1898.
The second operation was conduct
ed in the same way. but it is uneer-
tain whether the third was perform
ed in the manner of DIR. Keen. by lay
ing open the chest. or by pinching
the heart from within. The essential
point is that three operations were
successful. There Is a record of at
least one similar operation at West
minister Hospital The anaesthetic.
which had been administered prior to
the application of the knife, had in
each of these cases given a shock to
