Beet Sunar Last Year.

Perhaps when the boil weevil has
come into this state to stay we may
all be willing to grow sugar beets, and
all facts relating to them will then be
considered interesting. Special Agent
Saylor of the department of agricul-
ture has just submitted his report for
the year 1903 1t is an interesting
document.
There were in that year 246,576
acres in beets, and it cost about $50
an acre to grow them. The product
last year was eight to nine tons, worth
at the factory S. ton. Better farm
ing could carry the product up to thir-
teen tons, which is the average Ger
man product. Ten tons per acre yields
a fair profit; twelve tons fine profit.
Some well cultivated fields in this
country yielded last year twenty-eight
tons an acre. The sugar contents of
American beets is much higher than
German beets Eight per cent is the
average in Germany and in this coun-
try it is between 16 and II per cent.
Sixty-one factories were in opera
ton last year, and they got IL per cent
of sugar from each ton of beets, or
220 pounds, worth $3.50 By increas-
ing the product per acre American
farmers could soon put the beet sugar
industry in this country on firm
basis. There should be an average
yield of not less than twelve tons an
acre On irrigated lands yield of
forty tons an acre is possible.

Fair Play is Good Sense.

When the constitution of 1901 au-
thorizes the legislature to provide for
Just and reasonable rate" it GER
tainly does not say that laws may be
passed which cut the net revenues of
the Alabama railroads below the diyi-
dend point. For 1t would be neither
just nor reasonable to ask a stock
holder of railroad to go without an
adequate return upon his investment.
1t would not be just, reasonable or
good policy to do so.
What railroad in this state is earn
ing or distributing more than a reason
able dividend to its stockholders? If
there be one let it be named. The
Louisville and Nashville divides but 5
per cent, and the other railroads that
come into Birmingham do not distrib-
ute dollar to holders of their COM
mon stock The Southern does pay a
small dividend on its preferred stock.
To cut the earning capacity of these
roads as Mr. Conner proposes to do
would be both unjust and unreasona-
BILE, and therefore unconstitutional.
His plan would simply be productive
of litigation. But that is not the real
question that comes home to the hon
est and intelligent voter next Monday.
That question is this-"What is wise
and right in relation to railroad
rates?" This is the question that each
man should ask himself when he goes
to the polls on Monday, and if he
answers this question up to his knowl-
edge and moral sense he will not vote
for a slasher like Mr.. Conner, who pro-
poses to disregard the provisions of
the constitution which in substance
says that railroad stockholders shall
not be deprived of chance to earn an
adequate return upon their money. His
conscience as he goes to the polls will
forbid. His good common sense will
forbid. He will vote for man who
will treat the railroads and their Gus
toners impartially, thus maintaining
the desire of this state to treat in
coming capital fairly, and permitting
the fructifying stream to flow on I'M
checked.

McKINLEY's MEMORY.

From the New York Commercial.
The wonderful memory of many of the
public men who have attained great
prominence has often been commented
upon. No statesman of recent date has
had this faculty any more marked than
did the late President Mckinley. Apro-
pos of this faculty, e. p. Boutelle of
Bangor, Maine, a brother of the late
Congressman Boutelle of Maine, tells the
following:
'The last time that President McKin-
ley was in Maine was ten years ago,
while he was governor of Ohio. He came
here to make a political speech at Ban
gor. where he was the guest of my
brother. Some fifteen years before that
he was in this state campaigning. and
| then met him. / remember that we
were in an office, and that Mckinley,
who was then an Ohio congressman,
came in and sat down on a table where
he chatted for several minutes. l did
not see him again until this second
time fifteen years later and had no idea
that he would remember me. But he at
once recalled his prvious visit and men,
toned the circumstances. This was but
a sample of his wonderful memory. 1t
is a rare characteristic that but few men
possess. Everybody knows how famous
Mr. Blaine used to be for this same
thing"

Piu Iron Warrants.

A renewed effort is to be made to
render dealings In pig iron by means
of warrants popular. The warrants of
the American Pig Iron Storage War,
rant company were never regularly
quoted on an exchange, and they never
for that reason came into popular use.
1t is now proposed by New York deal
ers to bring warrant iron into favor by
having warrants quoted daily on an
exchange A meeting having that OBJ
ject in view was held in New York last
week.
1t is stated that one-half of the
merchant furnaces are now in favor of
the adoption of the warrant system,
whereby producers can place iron in
a storage yard, and borrow money on
the warrants issued by the storage
company. 1t was feared that the use
of warrants would introduce specula-
ton in the iron trade, but no such
trouble is now anticipated Says the
Iron Age in relation to this point
THE fact is certainly indicative that
they are willing to see the experiment
tried for what 1t may be worth. The
iron trade has gone through some ex-
periences wholly undreamt of at the
time of the futile Metal Exchange deal
ings of the early sos, and possibly the
producers and merchants are less
fearful of the trade being unfavorably
affected by speculation than they were
then The country has undoubtedly be-
come more habituated to speculative
methods, and IS therefore less inclined
to regard them with adherence, pos
sibly recognizing at the same time that
some important commercial advant-
ages may be realized"
If the warrant system should be re-
eSthDllSHeu IL Will De uOu6 uuuSl CuS
auspices of the New York produce ex-
change. Warrants would, however, be
issued by any company prepared to
issue negotiable warehouse receipts.
The exchange would regulate the bus
mess, and the storage companies
would have to conform to the regula-
lions of the exchange in order to Sc
cure daily quotations of warrants. Pig
iron can be stored anywhere without
much expense 1t needs no shelter,
and it is not subject to burglary.
There are not any obstacles In the way
of an introduction of warrant system
of popular nature, and the New York
effort promises to be acceptable alike
to producers and consumers.
