The Clansman.

Thomas Dixon's "Clansman" has been here. let us hope. for the last time. It was excellently staged and powerfully presented-two facts that oughly demonstrated its possibilities for harm. It is a riot breeder and therefore an enemy to peace and order. Southern people preserve the records of the dark days of the reconstruc- tion, their suffering and humiliation, but they ought in all manliness and pride protest against having these sa- cred sorrows of their own made com modities of traffic by mercenary at a theatrical box off1ce.

Too Early for Politics.

A Montgomery man who takes a deep interest in State politics had just re- turned from an extensive trip through East and North Alabama.
 "PoiiticsY' he said with fine scorn there is nothing to tell you of poli- tics. Actually those people in that section of the State have not got time to talk politics. Certainly each man has his preference as between Gun listen to discussions of the State cam paign. They tell you frankly that there are too many other things to engage their attention and that 1t Is too soon to begin wrrying about who is to save the State at the polls next year.
 Tt was my conclusion that a cam paiEn speaker could not draw an audi ence In the section of the State through which have passed. The people seem to think the campaign opened too soon from talking of what will happen next year"

in any particular Mrs. Ballard dis
played six glass jars filled with granu-
lated sugar, five them being beet sugar
and the other cane sugar. Neither by
nspection or taste could the visitors
distinguish between them.
The beet sugar industry OF Colorado
is rapidly becoming an important fac
tor in the prosperity Of the state and
the interest of the people in the general
welfare should be sufficient to remove
any prejudice that would retard the
public veal. unless founded upon sub
stsntial reasons, which il not true in
this case. Surprising as it may seem
To some Of our readers three-fourths OF
all the sugar used in Colorado is made
from beets and the enterprise is cnpa-
BILE OF almost indefinite expansion, as
our warm days and cool nights render
the state specially adaptable to the
cultivation OF the sugar beet.
The per capita consumption Of sugar

rapid ratio than the population. Mrs.

erwise our orchardists would fall be-
hind in the struggle for the markets of
the state.
President Coulter, of the fair associ-
alton, stated what had been accom-
plished in the matter OF q county fair
and outlined the hopes and ambitions
for the future. He thanked the horti-
cultural society for its cooperation ard
helpfu,ness last year and asked for
continuance of its assistance, which, he
said, was essential to its success. AZ
ter paying all expenses last year, he
said, there was surplus of about seven
hundred dollars in the treasury upon
which to predicate the exhibition next
September.
Prof. Wendall Paddock and G. G.
Durkee delivered highly interesting
talks upon the necessity for the fertil-
ization Of our orchard lands IL we would
obtain perfect fruit. Mr.. Durkee spoke
of his observations among the orchards
Of England and France where, he said,
the utmost care and attention was be-
slowed upon The fruit trees with the
most gratifying results.
Although Mrs. Nj. A. Shute of Dem
yer was prevented from being present
she sent a very interesting paper on the
display made by Colorado orchardists

at the Worlds Fair at st. Louis, which
was read by Mrs. II. $. Clearinghouse.
By resolution OF the horticultural soci-

ed by the local press.
Dean Ammons' talk on Domestic
Science" was one of the very best
things of the entire institute and it is
a matter Of regret that it could not
have been listened to by every grown
up person in the community. She is
possessed OF pleasant address and is
an absolute master of her subject.
The fruit exhibit was n splendid one,
especially Of apples, OF which probably
seventy-five varieties were shown. The
display of bread cakes. pies, ,doughnuts
and other culinary products WAS also
first class and demonstrated that those
who competed for the prizes OF the So
ciety thoroughly understood the art OF
cooking in all its details.
Before adjournment the following
resolutions were unanimO Ously adopted:
Whereas, The eighth annual insti-
tute of this society, with all Of its sue
cesses and valuable information gar
nersd from college professors and other
speakers; from exhibits OF the house
wiies art and the fruitgrower's skill

our merchants, is II memory calculated
to spur us on to future conquests (;

Resolved, That we hereby tender the
thanks Of this society: first, to the la
dies for the bountiful repasts so cour-
teously donated and served second.
to Professors g. =. Gillett, Wendall
Paddock and Dean Ammons Of the
Colorado Agricultural college, for the
valuable information profrered, with
out which our coming together could
not have borne such favorable results,
and also to the other speakers, who
have given such thought to putting
into shape their experiences for our
mutual benefit; third, to the musicians
who so kindly rounded out our exer-
cises with song, and not forgetting the
sprightly efforts OF Mr.. Gareghty to
entertain us fourth, to the merchants,
one and all, who came forward with q

appreciation Of the motives which act

is absolutely reliable.

best commercial varieties, were, at
least, as good as any so far as profit to
the orchardist was concerned.
At II 80 an indoor picnic lunch was
served on the third floor of the court
house under the auspices of the ladies
of the horticultural society, some two
hundred and fifty people being provided
with splendid dinner. Tickets ad-
mitting their holders to the dining hall
were gratuitously distributed among
those in attendance at the institute by
the members of the society, and very
few who we're favored in this way de-
clined the hospitality to which they
were invited. Among the guests were
many of the business and professional
the occasion goes without saying.
The luncheon on Thursday was so
successful feature of the program
thai it was repeated on Friday, when
fully as many guests were entertained
as on the previous day. Affording as
they did an opportunity for more in
innate acquaintance between the peo-
pie of Canon City and the fruitgrowers
and their families these picnic lunch
cons were conducive of much good in q
social way and will be remembered as

prejudice that may exist in the popu-

Ballard of Denver, a sugar expert, with

COLORADO BEET SUGAR
AS GOOD AS CANE

1t is probable that very few people,
even in Colorado and California, where
it is chiefly produced in this country,
know much about beet sugar, although
it largely enters into the economy Of
their homes as an article of consump-
ton.
With view of enlightening Colora-
doans on the subject of beet sugar the
Morey & Blot,cher company OF Denver,
the great sugar producers Of the sta te,
have begun "a campaign of education"

among the most pleasing features of
the institute. The thanks of the pub
lie are due to the ladies of the society
for their hospitality and gastronomic
entertainment.
Thursday afternoon very helpful
talk on comparative tests of insectides
for the codling moth was made by Prof.
college at Fort Collins. Prof. Gillett
is favorite among Canon City fruit
growers and his lectures on the insect
enemies which prey upon orchards are
invariably listened to with much inter-
est The discussion evoked by Prof.
Gillett's talk last week resulted in
many suggestions of value relating to
the care and cultivation of fruit trees
being brought out.
Senator ]. H. Crowley of Rocky Ford
was expected to be present and discuss
the subject .'How Best to Spray" but
was unable to get away from his legis-
lative duties at Denver and the topic
was delegated to Sam Stearley, who
made an excellent substitute and gave
some valuable hints on sprays ana
spray pumps.
Thursday evenings session was large
ly of an entertaining character and
consisted of an illustrated lecture by
Professors Gillett and Paddock and
numbe of musical selections by Prof.
and Mrs. Eichhorn. A stereopticon was
used by the former to show the insect
pests the orcnardist has to contend
with in the protection of his fruit trees.
Owing to the extremely low tempers-
ture Thursday night the attendance
was much smaller than was the case at
the earlier sessions of the institute and,
as a consequence. many people were
deprived of an intellectual and musical
treat.
Among the very interesting discus
sions on Friday was 1.-The Importance
of Better Apple Pack" by j. P.
Farmer, "Fruitgrowers and the Coun-
ty Fair" by President T. B. Coulter of

tion," by Mrs. NJ. A. Shute of Denver,
secretary of the state horticultural So
ciety, and the lecture on Domestic
Science" by Dean Theodosia Ammons
of the agricultural college.
J. z. Farmer made a strong plea for
a better apple pack and asserted that
il Canon City fruit is to maintain its
reputation growers must leave nothing
undone to place it upon the market in
the best possible condition. He said
that great strides had been made here
the past few years in packing fruit and
that the improvement must go on, 9TH

 It has remained for Massachusetts to set the pace in the politics of the coun- try this year, and for that reason the nght there will be watched with keen interest all over the country. This in- terest is greater in Washington, chief ly because the issues have been made so clear cut by the Republican and DemocratiS leaders in Massachusetts. The Bay State Republican platform is or even greater concern to politicians and students of affairs generally in Washington than the Democratic dec- laration of principles.
