STARTS OFT WELL.

The legislature has started out well.
There appears to be a disposition to
do things in a businesslike way and
fritter away as little time as possible.
Following the suggestions of Mr..
1och's very sensible message, the leg
islature has decided to have no more
grating. 1t has decided that there
will be no more scandal about a
horde Of useless employees. 1t. is also
showing a disposition to get at the
bottom of the school fund outrages
and the disgracefuI condition of the
state treasury. The people will expect
little more than this, and in fact it
will be quite enough if the bright
promises are realized.
There are few citizens of Kansas
who would not like to see the affairs
of state honestly and economically ad-
ministered. and il Mr.. Hoch and Mr..
Stubs viii see to it that this is done
there will be no cry of rings and
bosses attached to them. There must
be leaders in every movement, and
perhaps Mr.. Stubs is just the man
to lead the state onto a business high
way, and if he is the people will not
care if he does appear In the light of
a boss. This is the kind of a boss
Kansas needs. But to measure up to
the required standard. Mr.. Stubs
must live up to his high resolve. He
can not hunt out the frauds perpe-
trated by his enemies and overlook the
thefts and malfeasance of his friends.
He must strike at corruption and mis-
management wherever he finds 1t, and
no man should have immunity simply
because he is a friend of Mr.. Stubs
or someone with whom he is asso-
ciated.
Kansas wants no half-hearted re-
form. It must be of the searching,
thorough kind, and spelled with a
big r. Therefore the future acts of
Mr.. Stubs and the legislature will be
awaited with interest.

THE BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY.

Figures recently published by the
department of agriculture indicate
that the beet sugar industry in the
United States has managed to thrive
very well, Notwithstanding that here
and there state supreme court has
blocked the efforts of legislatures to
encourage the industry with liberal
bounties paid out of the public treas
ury, says the Chicago Post.
In no year prior to 1S91-'92 did the
total output Of beet sugar in the
United States amount to as much as
100000 pounds. Ten years later
the production reached 365, 100000
pounds, and in 10000, 100000. 900
pounds. During the last twelve years
the beet sugar output increased to
nearly forty times its amount in
1912.
The industry was first introduced
into California Nebraska and Utah
were the next states to take up the
production Beet culture was not in
troduced into Michigan until 1SsS-'9s.
IN 10000. ffty-three factories To-
Gated in twelve states. were in opera
ton. These factories worked 2,O23,OOO
short tons of beets, grown on $4,000
acres. Michigan contributed the larg-
est crop Of beets, although California
produced the largest quantity Of sugar.
The average yield Of beets per acre
in the United States was about seven
short tons. In Utah. where the crop
was grown almost exclusively under
irrigation, the average yield was 10 Il
short tons per acre, ana IN California
nearly nine tons. For the country
as whole the average yield of beets
per acre apparently shows a decline
since 1Ss1-'92. This IS due to the in

ZOE A &c sTATE FATR-

The idea of establishing state fair
in Kansas along broad lines, to have
the official sanction OF the legislature of
the state, and to be under the manage
ment Of the able secretary of the state
board OF agriculture, has been dis
cussed.
There has been much wrangling in
recent years in regard to an appropria-
ton by the legislature for a Kansas
state fair. It seems there could be no
amicable settlement of a location of the
fair.
But the idea which contemplates
placing the matter in the hands of the
state board of agriculture clears up
many difficulties If this idea is carried
out it will insure the best exposition of
Kansas, and Kansas products that has
ever been made. The annual exhibits
viii without doubt prove to be a great
advertisement for the state and also
will prove to be a source of great in
struction and pleasure to the people of
the state as well.
The Kansas Improved Stock Breeders
association and number Of other as
sociations and practically all interests
in the state have united in the express
sion of the belief that big state fair
should be established.
All factions seem to agree that the
trivial personal squabbles in regard to
location or other points should be swal-
lowed up in q general movement to
make the best Of the opportunities
which may be granted by the legisla-
ture al whatever place that body sees
fit to establish the fair.
It is urged that the present legisla-
ture appropriate $4,000 annually for
five years for the establishment
of the fair. It IS to be hoped that the
measure will be passed.
The nearby and the adjoining states
to Kansas all have their state fairs
maintained by act Of legislature appro-
priating money for that purpose. Mis-
souri,, Iowa and Nebraska especially
have liberal appropriations and each
of those states have most excellently
equipped fair grounds, and the annual
expositions are proving of vast benefit
to the populaee in each Of the states.
Let US encourage the measure which
Will be introduced in the legislature at

Tom Potter was POSTMASTER at the
Improved Stock Breeders banquet at
the ThrooO this week. Let yourself
be assured that the word improved"
belongs in the name of the organiza-
ton and is used advisedly. The stock
breeders of Kansas are improved. Per-
hapS before the Improvement, they
referred to chicken croCuettes at ban
quets as .meat doughnuts" and they
tried to crack the olives before they
ate them.
Tom Potter took occasion at the
banquet to refer to Uncle Jimmy
and his ways. He told of a school
house meeting somewhere in the
rural confines Of Kansas where Robf-
son was campaigning for Republican
votes.
Potter saw a bright little girl and
he talked with her. The little girl
paid close attention to all that Mr..
Potter had to say in praise of her and
she blushed and looked shy and Mr..
Potter saw that he was making an inn
preston on her.
Mr.. Potter had a bouquet of flowers
and he gave them to the little girl.
"Oh! thank you, Mr.. Potter" said
the tot. MIR. Robson when he was
here gave me a much larger bunch of
flowers"
Now Mr.. Potter wished to stand
well with the little girl so he reached
into his spacious pocket and drew
forth a quarter.
He gave it to the little girl and she
took it, with a shy look.
ooh! thank you. Mr.. Potter" she
said. 'Mr. Robson was here and he
gave me a half a dollar
Mr.. Potter was not to be outdone
and he felt so pleased with the little

Tom Potter is old and gray enough
to kiss tots and kiss them in a father

girl, 'Mr. Robson kissed me when he
was here and he kissed mamma, too"
That was too much for Potter.
