city and has gone over the eastern
part of the county and is satisfied that
he'will have no trouble in securing all
the beets he needs for a factory hand

months each year. Mr.eHOpke erected

who built the first beet sugar factory
in this country in Nebraska Is years
ago. The articles of incorporation of
the Dane County Sugar Refining COM
pany were, filed yesterday and the
factory, which will cost 100000, will
be finished in time to take care of the
crop of next year. Mr.. Hopke is not
in the bonus business, and neither
wants bonus nor stock subscriptions.
His capital is assured. But he wants
and hopes to have the good will of all
the people of city and country. The
published articles to the effect that
tobacco growing is much more profit
able seem to come from persons who
make no comparisons of cost of the
two crops One hundred dollars an
acre for a tobacco crop may not net
anything like that of $50 an acre for
beets. The beet is very easy to grow,
not hard on land, free from insect enc
smies and as certain as, the corn crop.

Interest in the growing Of beets was
launched at a huge mass meeting OF
farmers at Turner hall last winter.
The meeting was called by Dean w. A.

sEL,F-DEsTRUCTOS.

George r. Upton. formerly associate editor Of the
Chicago Tribune, gives some interesting statistics
regarding suicide in article in the New York
Independent He shows that in thirteen years there
have been 77.617 suicides In the United States, of
which 57.317 were men and 2O40O were women. or
the professions, 535 physicians destroyed them
selves against 98 clergymen and 81 lawyers. The
increase In the number of children who are selfde
structionists is matter of comment.
Life insurance statistics for 1902 show $500
cases Of suicide in fifty cities St Louis leading and
followed In the order named by Hoboken, Chicago,
Oakland, New York, Milwaukee Cincinnati Newark,
Brooklyn, Boston, Indianapolis and New Orleans.
1t will prove surprise to many that st. Louis
should lead No doubt many will doubt the accuracy
of the figures, but it is presumed that the statistics
are reliable
Naturally one seeks for an explanation for the
extent Of suicide. Mr.. Upton does not attempt TO
solve the problem beyond suggesting that the home
exercise more authority "in regulating appetites,
passions and habits" He adds that there might
be more hope for the decrease OF crime Of all kinds
If so many homes were not sending out so many
boys and girls unwarned undisciplined. uninstruct
ed and unprotected" He is doubtless right in his
suggestions, but still there is more to be said

STILL BETTER.

Since St Louis has had good government II is
yearly custom to recognize the good work doue
in the License Department. Each annual report
has been better than the one preceding, and when
last years was published 1t looked US if Collector
Clifford had done as we'll for the city as he pos
sibly could do.
But, as this years report seems to raise doubt
as to whether it was much of License Depart
ment at all some time back it is really public duty
to state that good government is getting even bet
ter.
Taxpayers must congratulate themselves over the
success of policy which effects large increase
in revenue through strict conformance with the
law and without causing hardshps. The compara-
tive statistics of the License Department nre such
a good argument for good government that citizens
are advised to study them and reach their own con-
clusions

JOY IN CHICAGO.

There is much joy these days in Chicago and
all because the Health Department reports marked
decrease in deaths from diseases. 1t Is re-
marked that 1.-THE people are returning to saner
and simpler modes of living than obtained during
the two strenuous nerve-shaking decades following

Into the recesses of their thoughts there has cret

A NATIONAL MOVEMENT.

For probably the first time since civic associa-
tons were instituted there is manifested among
the best Of them disposition in favor Of harmOn-
GUS action by agreement. The friendly sentiment
may be attributed directly to the prominence which
the Worlds Fair management has accorded 10 the
ethics and art Of municipal betterment as an Inn

The wide significance of this feature is brought
again to general attention through notices which
the National Municipal League and the American
League for CIVIC Improvement are jointly circuIat

Of the National Municipal League, in Chicago, from
April q to April %. inclusive.
