What q Sugar Works Does for q
Community.

The sugar factory began its sec
ond campaign last Saturday morn
ing, under the most favorable pros
poets of any beet sugar factory in
the United States In no part Of
the country is the beet crop so
good or the tonnage per acre 80
great as in this particular local
ity. There is no question but this
is destined to beconce one of the
greatest beet producing sections iii
the world. Already there are 49,
600 tons of beets in the sheds here
and at the Parker station, and it is
estimated that there will be at least
$4,000 more tons to be brought in.
This means a four or five months
run, a production of 100000
pounds of sugar, and a distribution
of $4,000 as wages, besides $780,
600. paid to the farmer for beets
A total distribution among the peo-
pie of $4,000 which in turn
means prosperity and increased
business. There are really few
people, as yet, who fully see the
benefit Of having sugar factory al
their doors. While a number are
SO narrow in their views that they
believe it detriment and complain
about building up a monopoly anc
whine about bleeding the poor mar
and feathering the nest of the rich
at the expense Of the laborer, etc
Now it is hardly reasonable to sup
pose the sugar factory is operating
tor the sole benefit of its employees
or that its stockholders have in
vested million Of money for tn
express purpose OF enriching tn
farmers of Fremont county, but g,
long as they are willing to shar
profits all around it would seen
that no kick is coming on eithe
side. Let people be little broad

closed cars for long rides. We are not
afraid of them. Before many years we
become fatalists. We expect them to
kill US some day. but hope it may not be
soon, just as the ordinary citizen expects

brain works nearer lie that of a
human being than the brain of any other
animal The moods and tempers of the
big brutes change suddenly: The
weather, hard night ride on the cars,
bruised foot may turn the best natured
elephant into a peevish brute, ready to
strike and murder in an instant But
these moods pass quickly The great
danger is when an elephant is just turn
ing into a rogue. Every elephant turns
rogue sooner or later, and they never
recover. They may be tractable for a
time after quieting down, but the attack
will return, and then probably keeper
will be killed The female elephants
turn rogues earlier and are more violent
than the males, and the females are the
more dangerous in ordinary times.
Elephants form great attachments
for certain men and bitter hatreds for
others, hatred that means murder
when the opportunity arrives. But the
love of an elephant for its keeper will
not deter it from killing him when the
outbreak comes.
There was one notorious elephant
who travelled with a score of circuses
under different names, and was finally
executed, who loved one man, a friend
of mine, as never maiden loved him.
She would do anything for him. He
drank She cared for him and drove
away everyone who tried to come near
when he was drunk and asleep under
her feet. He was discharged from sew

handle her, the owners of the shows IN

lose the beast, and tacitly she became
his property. But she in one rampage
trampled him until he is cripple for
life, and she killed one of the rescuers

Small Bou and Little Stick

There is q period when the small
boy makes faces at and reviles the
stick that correets him This period
is usually coincident with that iden-
titled with getting too big for ones
breeches. Il is followed by renewed
castigation of spirit and {. chastened
respect for the stick.
Even the errors of youth may be-
token health and activity; almost
every parent would rather have a
healthy youngster who needs a

Obliged forever to nourish a weak

having had the exciting pleasure Of
reviling that stick will shortly pro-
ceed TO pay it proper reverence-for
good and sufficient reasons.

the other IN check. The philoiogists
imagined they had dealt the Mosaic ORR
gin of the Pentateueh its deathbIow
when they asserted that the Phoenician
alphabet was not IN existence in
Moses time, and that there was no
written language known or used in
Canaan until after the time in which
it = claimed these books were written.
Hence, the argument proceeds, taese
books came down by unreliable sraI
tradition. and cannot have any divine
sanction or authority
But 10! One day In 1857 a peasant
woman of Egypt answered the Learned
philoiogists by stumbling upon some clas
tablets in the ruins of an ancient royal
palace. These Tel ei-Anarua tablets
proved to be letters that were written
a hundred years before the time of
Moses. They were written in Canaan
and sent into Egypt, some of them be-

tack on Solomon's song, and claimed
that Solomon could not have written it

Samaria, bearing an inscription in tie

ChaIdean Accounts
THE philologists claimed that tas

the account of creation found in Genesis
proved q BabyIonian influence and
origin, and, hence, they could not have
been put into the Book OF GGneais by
Noses- The areheologists produced
cuneiform ChaIdean accounts OF these
cvents which we're written not only
before the time of Moses, bit before

ancient Chaidea was known to the

Our College Bous.

At last there is a market for our

young men who come out want TO de-
yelop their muscles and seem to work
harder than the other men, They ap-
parently wish to show the Western boys
how to work, and they succeed. They
exhibit progressive spirit. and their
endurance is wonderful. They simply
will not be outdone by their fellow
workmen, and they make the best har-
vest hands.
That is what the people like to
hear; that has the true ring; that
shows the mettle our young men have
in them. II our shot-putters or track

only go out for a season Or two into
the big fields of the West. they would
not only have grand course of gem
eral athletic training: they would not
only learn how good their endurance
is, but they would broaden their facuI-
ties and earn a little cigarette money
on the side.
1t is well for the college youth to
touch home occasionally, but it is not
so desirable for him to depend too
much upon the governor or to loll
about the watering places smoking all
day and flirting the better part of the
night. For many occupations he is
untitled by. reason of his partial de-
Velopment and the shortness OF his
vacation. but wheat harvesting and
eollegians in vacation fit each other
like round hole and round peg.

Between Flower and Fruit.

The beginnings Of many things seem
TO US merely beautiful. We become
so enamored Of the first blossom that
we neglect the ultimate prophecy it
enfolds and would retain the flower,
even il thereby we lost the fruit. But
nature does not respect our wishes liz
this regard more than she does IL
other matters; as the bloom is sweet.
as the codling is certain to be sour
and may be bitter. so the fruit will
be nourishing and delightful.
Through life we repeat the expert
enees OF our childhood; we are eager
TO go TO the primary school, we are
burdened by the duties of the inter-
mediate grades. and our appreciation
of the rewards of labor is deferred to
the postgraduate condition.

But 1t is not all moralizing; for if

Strike Riotina.

Back of the mayor stands the
State, and back of the State is the
nation Peace will be the result in
Chicago, peace at the cost of what
ever sacrifice; but peace firm and
triumphant. Rioters may defer peace
for awhile. but 1t will be at a fearful
cost TO themselves.
The first condition of organized
government is internal peace, and in
this country, no matter how much we
may differ as to policies. no matter
which side we may espouse in the
labor troubles, the people are a unit
in demanding peace and sobriety.
Chicago has allowed its good name TO
be spattered with disorder and smear
ed with blood. it is a hotbed for the
propagation of strikes. disorders, an
archy. and political disruption. 1t
will become peaceful either as re-
suit of the common sense and mutual
forbearance of its citizens or as the
outcome of the use of superior force.
The present strike has been wicked
ly disastrous to the laboring men; 1t
was ill-adyised, unnecessary, i'll
timed; it has been conducted In a
way that no labor union in the Dis
trict of Columbia would countenance
for moment; 1t has hurt the cause
of labor.
Sometimes when the history of re-
cent strikes is recalled; sometimes
when the mind passes In review the
rash actions OF the agitators and the
criminal wickedness OF the ''educa-
tional sluggers;" sometimes the sus-
picion is aroused that persons antag-

that human scholarship can throw upon
it. Indeed, / do not believe that the
entire body of the Holy Scriptures
stands or falls with the historieity Of
the book of Jonah, as the Rev. Mr..
Urquehart seems to teach.
If the higher criticism proves that
book 10 be an allegory or parable, or If
the higher criticism proves Job TO be an
allegory and Soiomonss song to be a
drama, why should that destroy their
reliability or our belief in their divine
origin il the parable of the Prodigal
Son reTnailts as diYineiy authentic and

THE real battles along the line OF the
higher criticism. however. are waged by
the scientific scholars rather than by
the preachers In fact the preachers
have brains enough TO see that while
the astronomers are fighting the geoio-
gists on the question OF the age Of this
earth, and while philologists are at
war with archeoIogIsts on the question
Of the origin and antiquity of words,
alphabets. and languages. there is no
immediate demand for the theologians
and preachers to readjust their views
