Barre must see to it that the law is
enforced. II is an easy matter to shift
the responsibility upon officials with the
smooth remark that officials are elected
to enforce the law That statement is
true only in part. The citizens cannot
elect those officials, wipe their hands
and declare their duty done. The man
who takes Il contract may sublet it to
another, but that does not release him
from responsibility. He is answerable
for the completion of the contract him
SELF In an exact parallel is the position
Of the people Of this city today, and
they cannot relieve themselves of re-
sponsibility by subletting that contract
to their agents. We have states at
tarney, grand jurors and police officers
to oversee the enforcement of the law,
but they require the support Of all Of us,
They must have it. Let us give them
all the assistance possible. Let not
this coming year be a hell.hole Of rotten

ENToMBED AND KILLED.
Miners Lost Their Lives After Explosion
Yesterday.

Wilburton, Okla, May Il. Thirteen
miners were entombed and probably kill
ed by an explosion early yesterday in
the Missouri, Kansas & Texas Coal com
pany's mine near Wilbmton. Their
bodies may not be recovered for sew
eral days.
The men went into the shaft at mid
night Foreman Ray of the shift that
left the mine at that hour, says that
the mine was in good condition and
gas explosion was hardly probable.
His shift left shot hanging and this
the new shift may have fired. 1t is
suggested, from the force Of the ex-
plosion, which could be heard for miles
around and which tore heavy timbers
aside and piled tons Of dirt into the
shaft, that a bad shot had set off some
dynamite which had been stored con-
yeniently for work in pushing the en-
tries.

PRODUCTION OF CANE
IN PHILIPPINE ISLANDS

WASHINGTON, D. c.. June 10
the many statements
that have been made 20 the effect that
the province of Negfos Occidental WAS
the only section of the Philippine archl-
pelago in which sugar has been pro-
duced to any extent, the growing Of
sugar cane and the making Of sugar
therefrom is shown by the census 1e-
turns of 1903 TO have been carried on
in all the Philippine provinces ard
communicates except five. These five
are Benguet, Cotabato, Jolo. Paragua
sur and Siassi. 1t is also shown that
IN the archipelago as a whole large
surplus Of sugar was manufactured I'd
exported in the year 1902, the value OF
these sugar exports having been great
er than that of any other product of
the islands except hemp.
The aggregate amount of sugar shown
by the census enumeration to have
been produced in 1902 was 1S0,217.3 S3
Kilograms.
In 1895 the sugar exports of the
Philippines had reached their highest
point, 341, 469,556 Kilograms being ex-
ported during the twelve months of
that year.
Hon Jose De Luzuriaga of the Phil
ippine Commission states that there
are at present six kinds of sugar cane
grown in the Philippine Islands-the
purple, white, read green, striped and
the black with white rings in the
joints. The purple cane is most ex-
tensively cultivated in the Visayan is
lands on account of acknowledged su-
perior qualities and the advantage it
possesses over all the others from an
agronomic, Industrial and economic
standpoint. The white cane and the
green as we'll have been grown on
small scale in some provinces Of
Luzon and in the rural districts about
Manila where taste for the juice Of
the cane extracted by chewing the
stalk is responsible for a considerable
consumption of these species. The
black cane grows very high, it's juice
which is used as an agreeable or medic
inal beverage being extracted by max
ing an incision in the lower part of
the stalk and allowing the cap to drain
into a receptacle.
Mr.. De LuZuriaga states that in the
Philippines the cane is planted as a
general thing, in high level ground,
sufficiently moist and we'll worked and
prepared, the cane being put in during
November, December and January,
while the grinding is also taking place.
In the alluvial soils of some parts of
Negroes planting takes place but once
every five, six, seven or even up to ten
years, though the same crops are
gathered annually, providing care is
taken after the cane is harvested not
to injure the stalk, which is allowed to
remain in the ground, and in the proper
cultivation of the sprouts or shorts
newly put forth by it.
Cane must be allowed to grow twelve
thirteen or fourteen months, accord
ing to the soil in which it is planted.
On new soil the period is eighteen
months. after which it must be gather
ed without delay or there will be detri-
ment to the crop. Corr. Louisiana
