The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1906-01-31

We printed yesterday statement
from Mr. T r.. Cutler, general man
ager OF the Utah Sugar Company, the
Idaho Sugar Company. the Western
Idaho Sugar Company, and the Sanpete
and SEWER Sugar Company, in which
he gave the production OF these fac
tories at 10000. 900 pounds Of sugar the
past year or this, he stated that it is
not possible To dispose OF more than
S5.OOO,OoO pounds In this immediate
region 1.-THE quotation being from a
former article in The TribuneI This
region he describes as comprising the
States of Utah, Idaho Montana and
Wyoming, this division apparently be-
ing the apportionment made by the su-

management
The population of this region may
thus be stated, the first column OF ng-

SUGAR CONSUMPTION

y recent Ieaflet from the Department
| of Commerce and Labor gices the total
| consumption OF sugar i'm this country
FOR the year 1903 at 2.76Il62 tons, or
| 63i. $4,000 pounds, and the Depart
menrs computation makes the con-
sumption per capitd for that year. 10
| pounds
Great as are !these figures. the CON
sumption of sugar per capita I'm this
country is not as great as in Great
Britain. But the consumption Of sugar
In the United States Is rapidly inCrels-
ing, as the leaflet referred to shows.
The sugar producers at home" 1t
says are increasing their output OF
both cane and beet sugar, but even
their rapid increase Is production is
not keeping pace with the increasing
hame demand, and as consequence
the quantity of sugar brought into the
country Increases from year to year
IL has doubled in the last twenty years,
while the population meantime In
creased but fifty per cent The annual
average Importation during the five
year period ending with 1885, was
l.O3l,149 tons, and during the five-year
period ending with 1905 the annual
average was 2,lOG,Oa3 tons. despite the
fact that the sugar production at home
had grown from 176,o35 tons in 1885 to
approximately 100000 tons in 1905. the
exact figures for the full year being
not yet obtalnable"
Thus, two points are made clear:
first that the consumption of sugar In
this country is on the average about
10 pounds per capita, and second, that
all the sugar production i'm this coun-
try does not keep down the importu-
uon, which grows much faster than
the home production does

South CaroIina's Dispensary.

The Morgan bill to abolish the state dispensary, and to give the counties local option. was passed by the South Carolina house, the majority in it's ia vor being about twenty, but the senate killed the bill The state dispensary system will therefore stand in that state one year longer. The legislatures of South Carolina meet annually in November. and public sentiment will have another chance to assail the dis pensary system next fall.
 In the meanwhile, each county can act under the law passed one year ago. Under that law a county can go dry but it has no other way of getting out of the range of the state dispensary system. Several counties have already voted whisky out, and others may do so.
 The chief objection to the state dis pensary system consists in the corrup- tion that almost necessarily goes with 1t. The purchase of immense quanti- ties of liquors naturally invites cor ruption, and it is well established in South Carolina that her dispensary system has not been free from taint. Senator Tillman appeared before the dispensary Investigating committee. He still favors the state dispensary which he was instrumental in estab- fishing. Perhaps his influence was felt in the state senate. At any rate the Morgan bill was killed in that body, and the subject will not come up again in South Carolina until next winter.

Piichinn the Crons.

The Uniontown Herald says that "all old fields and cast-off hill lands throughout this entire section of the county are being plowed, preparatory to planting it in cotton this year. Thus our planters and farmers seem deter mined to raise another bumper crop, which will, if the season be favorable, reduce the price of cotton to probably 5 cents per pound or even less. This would bring to naught all the good that has been accomplished through the untiring efforts of the Southern Cotton association"
 No doubt the Herald presents good advice when it urges diversification of crops and intensive farming, but after all Alabama never suffers when her farmers get busy. The crop grown in 1904 in this state was nearly million and a half bales, and we have land enough to grow that number of bales and yet grow enough food crops, but we have not labor enough.
 Whether by hard work on the part of all cultivators we could make in a good season 100000 bales and also a maximum of food crops is perhaps problematical. Possibly not. But the line should not be drawn where it encourages laziness or limits energet- Ic and ambitious effort The truth is, each farmer will draw the line for himself, and that is about all the sit uation calls for. He knows the cost of fertilizers and mules and labor, and he knows great deal more about price probabilities than he is generally given credit for.

-FNs---------- A NEW EDITOR FOR PUNCH.
From the New York World.

from the New York World.
 Punch is to have new editor, the fifth In line. Sir Francis Burnand has resigned after a quarter of a century of service. Burnand succeeded Tom Taylor, who was editor from 1874 to 1880 Ahead of Taylor were Shirley Brooks QS7O-74) and Mark Lemon, who began when the paper did, July II, 1S4. Owen Seaman, who has been assistant editor, succeeds Burnand
 There is probably no publication so widely known and, outside of It's insular province, so little understood as Punch. It Is pre-eminently and peculiarly Brit ish institutions. Except for the Ameri- can fun-maker Artemus Ward and the French cartoonist Caran d'Ache, it has never gone conspicuously outside the circle of British contributors Perhaps this very limitation has been of effect in making the papers files for nearly sixty-hve years stand. as they do, so- cial political and pictorial history of England, expressed in native humor and satire.
 Burnand the retiring editor, achieved HIS edTleSl ldlHe dS q WIiltT OI Dul- lesque. His predecessors and all the Punch contributors have been happy in light veins of work Yet the paper start ed with anything but laughter-sug- gesting programme. It proposed to and did abolish the Fleet and Marshalsea pris- ons. It was also to do away with capital punishment, an issue which 1t afterward dropped.
 John Leech attained with Punch his stature as a caricaturist Du Maurier, Tenniel, Harry Furniss and Phil May are four in a roll of famous Punch artists. For the paper, in years following 1S42, Thackeray wrote his "Snob Papers" "Ad- ventures of Policeman X'' and parodies on the works of Disraeli and other novel; ists. Douglas Jerroid and Tom Hood were other contributors.
 A change in editors will not mean change in Punch. If 1t were otherwise all England would protest.

all the better traditions connected with one party, and most of the re- speetable people belonging to the same party But the weapons of crystalizing public opinion are less dreaded than they were twenty years ago; and perhaps twenty years hence Professor Mims' dream may come true.
 But it will never come true while the Grumpaekers and Keifers full of sectional hatred and preIudices-ha- treds that sprang up even before the civil war-continue to devise schemes for despoiling the south. The south will remain solid while such men COIL spire against her. Nor is the conspir- aey against southern representation confined to the ancient Keller and the absurd Crumpacker. for the last repub- lican national platform invites a raid upon this section It is idle to ex- peet the rise of an independent move ment in the south under such demands and threats Justice and fair treat ment might lead to independent vot. ing in the south, but injustice and impending robbery never will.

Independent Voters.

Prof. Edwin Mims discusses in the South Atlantic Quarterly the surprising result in Missouri when Folk was elected governor, and the electoral votes of that once answering demo- cratic state were handed over to The odore Roosevelt by good round ma iority. Professor Mims seems to think that Missouri is essentially a southern state even though it be at the same time a border state in the central west, and he anticipates an ex- tension of independent voting to states further south.
 "The independents, he goes on to say, sin the south have to face the same state of affairs that the inde- Dezdent of the north did in the sos

Not long before photographer interrupted the course of justice in Mis- souri's Standard Oil proceedings here by taking flashlight and escaping amid the alarm and confusion of the court room. According to the District Attorney or Suffolk county photographers lured away the constable who was watching Wisnew- ski, the Polish lad wanted as witness in the Horner homicide case at Northport, L.

The doctors had ordered that he be kept as quiet as possible as fears were entertained for his reason, but these men entered his quarters. pulled him out of bed. propped him against the wall, and took several flashlights. Next morn- ing he was raving.

n the last five years:

Total for yrs .S2 S61 ,461. FOO $2,974,OO GOO
 In no year of the last five has the cotton crop been worth less than the wheat crop and the total difference in favor of the cotton crop in five years has been $613.OOO,0OO.
 And yet the acreage of cotton has never exceeded S1,7OO,OOO, while the acreage of wheat runs from 44,074,000 to 49,S95, ,000 In the five-year period the average value of wheat per acre has been s9.31, against an average value of cotton per acre of $20 80.
 So far as cash returns, and espe- cially export values, are concerned, cotton is the country's chief crop and perhaps ever will be. It is incontest- ibly the crop that brings money at all times and under all circumstances. It is never unsaleable, and its price is always known, and there is no hag- gling over that price. Buyers never do get enough of it.

The only abso- lutely cash crop is cotton, every pound of which is carried from the farm to find ready sale at cash prices No crop equals cotton as 8 cash crop. Nor does wheat equal in value at home or elsewhere the cotton crop. We give below the values of the two crops in the last five years:

DoG-GoNE KANSAS.
Texas Editors Dream Broken by a
 Kansas Cold Wave.

From the Fort Worth Record.
 Wasn't yesterday a joyl
 sunshiny as brides face and sweet as baby fresh from the bathl
 It wasn't a spring day, for there was lingering feel of frost, but there was challenge of spring in the smell of the air. You could almost hear the sap start ing in the peach trees. and the mother rose bush seemed to be trying to proclaim the borning bud.
 The housewife went out and looked at the sweet peas and hummed a song under her breath The farmer man examined his seed corn and whistled tune.
 The small boy tarried by the window of the sporting goods store and examined the fishing tackle.
 The weather wise had predicted rain, and the rain-soaked, mud-bespattered peo- pie who are early in bed went to sleep frowning. The dry goods man groaned, and the milliner wished she were man so she could say what she wished. only the shoe man chuckled and wished he had bigger stock of rubbers. The school children were glad, and hoped for soaker to keep them at home The all- nighter knew better. He had got home in the wee small hours with a clear moon and bright stars lighting his wobbly way.
 When the folks walked up 1t was a little cloudy. and the day seemed doomed. Breakfast was glum and dour. The bis cults were soggy the coffee was druggy and the milk was sour. It was all slush and bad words getting to the cars
 Then the miracle.
 The sun climbed over the fog bank in the east, and it was resolved into sweet vapors. The washerwoman hung out the clothes, the rooster crowed and the dog chased his tail. The housewife turned the hose on the front steps and let the fire in the grate die down.
 A bird sang and the whole of creation thrilled.
 Down town the dry goods merchant grinned The milliner put away the win ter hats marked down and brought out the spring confections marked up. The shoe man threw the rubbers in box and put spring slippers in the show window. The butcher telephoned to the packing house for lamb, and wondered where he could find some mint. The haberdasher got out his new ties and white vests, and the tailor tackled up his spring style sheet
 Anon milady came tripping along, and the clerks got busy with parasols and fluffy stuff.
 The afternoon fairly sung itself into a delrium, and the night came down like an intangible fleece that was golden with the sunset and then silver as the moon- light pinned against the sky with mill lion diamonds.
 Love walked abroad naked and un- ashamed and sent swift arrows into tmob- bng hearts.
 Lullabies and kisses filled the cup of Joy and God smiled his benediction. Oh, it was glorious! And then by o'clock bowling mortimer came sweeping down from Kansas. Dog-Gone Kansas!
