When this same Gar and SMALL

the bloodiest struggle on record, in
the number Of men slaughtered in
the same space OF time, Theodore
Roosevelt did not even resort to Tho
Hague court or any other device or
arbitration, but by his own unaided
efforts utilized his position at the
head of the most peaceful nation in
the world TO bring the two antago-
nists together and make peace them

Rests With Committee

If M. Bjornson can attract two
other members of the committee OF
five to his way of thinking, If he
can lead the committee to abandon
the old worlds clinging to precedent
for Mr.. Roosevelt's own readiness to
sweep it away, the judges, after sur
veying the deeds of all other men
who have advanced international
happiness in the last year, will
doubtless choose as its greatest pro-
moter the President Of the United
States.
When Christmas comes, with the
only twenty-four hours of general
concord in the year, it may find the
man who raised q regiment to fight
in a war, who has stung the coward
illness of men who will not go TO war,
who, as President, said, Let there
be no halt in the upbuilding of our
navy" who, in fatty telling the tur-
bulent South American countries
that they must conduct themselves
with propriety, uttered words that
in other days would have caused
war. who has been pictured as
walking arsenal, as a battleship, as
a giant waving big stick" around
his head, enjoying the worlds prize
designed for the man who shall
have done the most or best work
for the fraternity Of nations, the
suppression or reduction of standing
armies and the formation and pro-
pagation of peace congresses
For no longer in anybody's eyes
is Theodore Roosevelt the militant
figure of the imaginations of certain
fearful persons of a year or so ago.
He is ready to go to war, to hight,
as in the days of his youth; but he
fights 10 punish the wronSdoing that
prevents the weak and the strong,
the honest and the preying, from en-
loving peace alike. He would go to
war for peace. In recognition OF his
strength, in 1903, four nations, al
his suggestion, took their quarrel
over Venezuela TO a court; in 1905
the powers accepted his invitation
70 hold a new peace congress 10 fin-
ish the work Of The Hague confer
ence. and in 1905 two great powers
upon his insistent urging, abandon
ed a ghastly war for peace. He
does not lay down and follow rules
that form logical reasoning ought
70 bring peace; he acts and himself
brings peace.
He put The Hague machinery
into action" said Count Appolyi, OF
the Austrian government; he called
a new peace congress; he has made
peace now"
For these deeds, the Nobel prize

OF the peace that we should strive

dress:
The Peace That Roosevelt Wants
I'VE wish peace; but we wish the
peace of justice. the peace of right
eousness. We wish 1t because we
think 1t is right and not because we
are afraid. No weak nation that
acts manfully and justly should
ever be able to single us out as a
subject for insolent aggression
Finally, he told what means we
should use to reach the end OF the
peace Of justice in his message to
Congress as follows:
''The strong arm Of the United
States, in enforcing respect for it's
just rights, is the navy Of the United
States. most earnestly recommend
that there he no halt IN the work of

There is no more patriotic duty be-

words. doing great deal for "the

aim, however, is to support a force
sufficient to prevent those infringe

Cost Of Spraying.

It is surprising, says Field and Farm,
to note how many growers still prefer
to use paris green, london purple or
arsenate Of lime as sprays on account
of cheapness. AS general thing the
cost of these poisons is about one
fourth as much as for the arsenate Of
lead preparations. However, the ex-
pense Of spraying with all mixtures in
which lime is used is considerably
greater on account OF the frequent
clogging of the nozzles. Again an ex-
ira application is needed to make sure
of thorough job Of spraying for the
first brood of worms and the total ex-
pense when using any of the old RENE
dies may be summarized as follows:
First spraying Immediately after she'd
ding of the petals, AZ cents the tree,
or $3.15 an acre; second spraying a
week later 3h cents the tree, or $2.45
an acre; and the last spraying for the
late brood of worms cents tree, or
$3.50 an acre, a total of $S.40. Even
with the extra application of the
cheaper poisons which makes the en-
tire expense $1.40 an acre more the re-
suits are not SO sure with the constant
danger of burning the foliage and
fruit. It will be seen by these figures,
which are taken from practical work
in some of the best orchards in Colo
RADIO, chat no little expense is attached
to the operation Of spraying and that
economy lies only in doing the work
well.

water stood over the fields from eight

THE FARM AND RANGE
Beet Sugar in Colorado.

One of the most surprising develop
ments of recent years in this state is
the growth of the sugar beet and beet
sugar industries. Until 1899 the cuI-
ture of this variety of beets was al
most unknown in Colorado. In that
year the first factories were built. one
in Grand Junction and one in Rocky
Ford. Last year there were nine fac
tories in operation, and two more will
be ready for this years crop. In addi-
dition to these it is probable that two
or three additional factories will be
built to handle the 1906 crop.
The nine factories now in operation
are located At Fort Collins. Greeley.
Loveland. Longmont, Windsor, Eaton,
Rocky Ford. Sugar City and Grand
Junction, and the two new ones are at
Sterling and Lamar. Last year these
nine establishments handled $50. 900
tons OF beets for which the farmers re-
ceived IS a ton, or a total of $3,250, 900.
The product in refined sugar was
worth about $4,000. 900 and In addition
to this was a considerable value in
pulp and molasses. To these must be
added another by-product which in
time will become more valuable than
either OF the others. The factories are
now shipping to alcohol distilleries in
Wisconsin and Michigan a kind of
waste molasses. squeezed from the
pulp, from which high-grade of alco-
hOl Is made.
Colorado now ranks second among
the states in the number Of its beet
sugar factories. being surpassed only
by Michigan. The nine factories now
in operation here represent an invest
ment Of $7,000,00O. All this is devel-
opment of six years. and as the condi-
tions here favoring the growth of the
see that the figures quoted may be
easily doubled in the next five years.
The soil and climate of Colorado, es-
pecially in the northern part of the
state, and in the Arkansas valley, are
peculiarly adapted to beet culture, and
the beets raised have higher percent
age of saccharine matter than those
produced in any other state. The aver
age yield per acre is very great, SO the
crop is highly profitable to the farm
ers.
An industry which adds SO much to
the value of our agricultural and man
ufacturing products must be ranked
among the most important in the state.
A crop which six years after its first
cultivation pays the farmers three and
quarter millions of dollars in one sea-
son is not to be lightly regarded, and
the time may come when the sugar
beet will be the most valuable agri-
cultural resource of the state.-Colo-
RADIO Springs Gazette.

Most spray pumps are provided with
a mechanical agitator which keeps the
liquid in the tank in motion. These
are either a dasher or whirlfng pad
die. Barrel pumps are usually pro-
vided with the former, while most
tanks are fitted with the latter. Some
pumps are provided with return hose
which forces part of the liquid back
into the tanks, thus setting up cur
rent but this has not proven alto
gether satisfactory. Some orchardista
prefer to stir the mixture by hand
with paddle. 1t is important to keep
the liquid well stirred and the device
that will accomplish this with the
least expenditure Of time and energy
is the most desirable. Orchardists in
Colorado are said to generally prefer
the dasher type.
Reports have been coming in to
Mrs. Shute, secretary Of the Colorado
State horticultural Board, regarding
crop over the state, as indicated since
the trees and bushes fowered. From
Boulder, it is reported, that there will
be a crop in all fruits equal to last
year, excepting peaches, which have
been killed. At Holly. the peaches
were winter killed. but the rest of the
crops are safe. The best report comes
from Montezuma county, where there
will be full crop of peaches and sew
enty-five to one hundred per cent Of
other GRIPS. From Rifle, 1t is reported
that peaches and pears are all killed
and there will be but half crop of
other fruits.-Denver Republican.
Cooperative spraying is practical
and desirable for communities having
small fruit farms and close together
as they are in Fremont county and
other Colorado districts. The use of
power spraying outfits has proven prof
liable on the large fruit farms and by
neighborhood organization the benefits
may be carried to the smaller plant
ings. The strongest objection to such
cooperation in the spraying of or
chards comes from the difficulty Of
getting around to all orchards in the
few days when the work will be most
effective. This may be remedied to
some extent by combining in the or
ganization orchards on high and low
lands In the same neighborhood. The
mesa trees are usually ready for
spraying several days ahead of those
on the bottoms.-Field and Farm.

CONSUMPTION FOUGHT
BY TUBERCULOSIS CONFERENCE
sociation at Its Meeting in
WaShinQton,

Washington. May 20.-The first an
nual conference of the National Asso-
citation for the Study and Prevention
OF tuberculosis ended last night with
a banquet. Two days have been occu-
pied with the presentation of views by
prominent members of the medical pro-
fession from all sections OF the coun-
try.
The comparison Of data regarding
what Is being done to stamp out the
great white plague" led many speakers
to predict that popular interest Is
awakened on the subject and that the
immediate future will witness greater
organized activity in the treatment
and care Of consumptives than In the
past.
One section of the congress has de-
sociological side of the problem. while
another has taken up the medical Tea
lures.
The morning session of the socio-
logical section embraced symposium
on sanitarium treatment OF consump-
ton. In discussing the sanitarium
movement, DR.. w. ]. Marcley OF Mas
sachusetts gave great credit to efforts
of labor unions.
H. M. Danner OF Denver advocated
q special tax on unsanitary sections OF
cities.
H. Allen of New York told of the
experiments In that city In the seaside
treatment Of surgical tuberculosis for
children. One hundred and fifty chill
dren have been treated In this man
ner. he said. and the success has been
phenomenal.
One of the points of interest brought
out in this discussion was that every
effort SO far mad. to establish self
supporting communities or settle
ments of tuberculosis patients had
proved failure. Nevertheless par
tial support had been accomplished
under carefully directed industries in
the open air. 1t was the general opin-
ion that all cases of tuberculosis
should be allowed to remain at large.
where proper care of the patient was
maintained and proper sanitary re-
quirements observed to protect men,
bers of the family in which the pa
tient resided. Nowhere except in New
York is there legal authority to COM
pei the retention of patient against
his will. Such authority, 1t was ar
gued, was most desirable.
Speaking of the lax enforcement Of
sanitary regulations by municipalities
DIR. ]. P. C. Foster of New Haven said
he arrived at the Boston station one
night at IL o'clock. On all Of the sta
tion walls he observed large signs
stating that 500 was the fine for ex-
pectorating on the floor. On the
floor were enough evidences Of the vi
olation of this law to support with the
collected penalty state institution.
His conclusion was that either such
laws should not be enacted, or that
they should be enforced.

Industrial School for Girls.

Denver, May 2O.-Governor McDon-
aid has appointed the following named
persons as members of the State Indus
trial School of Girlc:
Fred L. Paddelford of Golden.
Royal ]. Donnen of Denver.
Mrs. r. E. England of Denver.
Two more members remain to be ap-
pointed.
Mr.. Paddelford is superintendent of
the State Industrial School for Boys
at Golden. He will probably be made
president of the new board and will
have super sisory charge of the entire
institution.
Mr.. Donnen lives at 1910 East
Eighteenth avenue. He has been a
resident of Denver for about six years,
and is retired business man. For
many years he lived in Leadville, and
is personal friend of Governor Nc.
Donald. While in Leadville he was en-
gagged in mining, and was also in the
livery business.
Mrs. England has for number OF
years been prominent in local politics
as Republican. She was formerly a
member of the board. 1t is understood
that she was placed upon the new
board upon the recommendation of Mr..
Paddelford.
The News quotes Governor Mellon
aid as saying that no member OF the
old board would be reappointed. 1t
was reported that an exception would
be made of DR.. Josephine Peavy of
Colorado Springs, who was just recent
ly appointed to serve on the old board.
When queried on this point the gov
ernor said:
II am making a clean sweep. No
member Of the old board will be reap
pointed"
