WEBSTER DAVIS REJOlNS THE
REPUBLICAN, PARTY.
Former Assistant Secretary of the
Interior Is an Admirer Of Theodore
Roosevelt and Will Uphold
His PRINCIPLES and Policies.


From the Los Angeles (Cal.) Express.
Webster Davis, former mayor of
Kansas City, and assistant secretary of
the interior in the first administration
of President Mckinley, who left the
republican party because it would not
express sympathy for the Beers in their
war with England, has returned to that
party. Today he announced that in
future, so long as the policies of Theo-
aore Roosevelt are in force, his voice
will be raised in advocacy of upholding
such principles.
Mr.. Davis has been in Los Angeles
several weeks, having come to South
ern California with his mother on va
cation. He is now citizen of Mich
igan. Sunday he will depart for the
City of Mexico.
In the national democratic conven-
ton in Kansas City, when William j..
Bryan was nominated for the presi-
dency the second time Davis created a
sensation when, in an address sparkling
with oratorical gems, he advocated
Bryans nomination, at the same time
giving his reasons for quitting the re-
publican party organization.
In the last national campaign he took
no part, the nomination of Alton B.
Parker not being pleasing to him
After removing from Kansas City,
Mr.. Davis for a time lived in New
York, where he might have been
elected a democratic member of con-
gress. Tammany methods were too
strong for him, however, and he soon
left the metropolis for Michigan, where
he has established home, determined
TO live there permanently.
Discussing national politics today,
Mr. Davis said:
IL am an admirer of Theodore
Roosevelt. In my opinion, he is the
greatest president in the history of the
American republic, because he and his
policies are closer to the masses.
81 have been advised to remain in
Los Angeles and would like to do So
The energy of your people, coupled
with the advantages Of this section,
have convinced me that the citys flu
ture is assured. [ have decided that
my duty lies in my new home, with the
good people of Michigan. There shall
do what can for the advancement of
republican ideas as exemplifed by
President Roosevelt and expect in
time to become active in politics again.
President Roosevelt himself opened
the doors of the republican party for
my return. His position in the late
Japanese Russian war was the identi-
cal attitude l urged President McKin-
ley to take concerning the Boer war.
therefore am back within the repub-
lican fold and not only indorse Presi-
dent Roosevelts attitude in the set
Ting of the war, but approve and adj
mire his course on all the other great
questions now before the American
public He is an honest and fearless
leader who is doing more to purify
politics than all who have gone before
him and 1 only hope to be permitted

Many Colorado farmers are this year
feeding beet pulp to their dairy stock
for the first time and are surprised to
find that their herds have nearly
doubled the output within two or three
days. The Field and Farm has de-
scribed this condition so often that we
supposed everybody knew all about it,
and if people would take more general
ly to the silo they would meet with still
more startling results. Wisdom is a
very clever parsonage but often needs a
new dress to be recognized on the
street.-Denver Field and Farm.
1t is not often that one finds maya
zine article at once so sprightly and in
structive as that upon Woman Suf-
frage in the Tenements" by Elizabeth
McCracken in the December Atlantic.
Miss McCracken's wide experience as a
student and interpreter of the life of
women everywhere in America pc
culiarly qualities her for the kind of
work she has undertaken in this article.
The results that she has attained are of
the first interest. She has conversed
with the women of the tenements in
many cities concerning their interest
and experience with woman suffrage,
and these curious conversations are here
set down in full. 1t is a paper which
will open the eyes of many theorists.

to assist him to the best of my ability
in his great work"
In the Mckinley administration Mr..
Davis was one of the great orators OF
the republican party. He canvassed
the middle states in its interests and
was sent to the Pacific coast in the last
days of the second campaign OF Nc
Kinley. While here during this cam
paign he made many friends, among
whom he has lately been renewing
acquaintance.

Vigorous Fight Against Reduction of
Sugar Tariff.

William III. Wallace, general manager
of the Sebewaing Sugar Refining Co.,
shows conclusively in the following
statement why the tariff on sugar COM
ing from the Philippines should not be
reduced
"Over $4,000 tons of beets nave
been purchased from the farmers and
turned into granulated sugar AS the
percentage of the sugar in the beet
was higher this year than ever before
in Michigan, owing to the continued
improvement in the methods of farm
ing, the growers of the beeJs have re-
ceived nearly $4,000, 900 for their raw
product. The average price paid the
farmer is 2 1-3 cents for the sugar in
the beet"
Mr.. Wallace made the following es-
Inmates of the number of beets sliced
at the 16 factories in Michigan:
