The Sugar Beet Culturist and Dairy
Advocate, paper devoted to the interests
of the farmers, said editorially in the
issue of August L:
THE time will soon be at hand when
our readers will be called upon to make
thsr choice for members of congress.
While this journal does not enter into the
politics of any city, township or district,
we feel that we are not stepping over the
traces when we ask the friends of the
sugar industry to remember its friends,
and those who stood by the industry in
its time of need and who are likely to
stand by it all the time. The time is not
very far away when the sugar beet indus
try of Michigan is destined to be its chief
agricultural industry, and there are those
in administrative circles who want to kill
it off in order to develope foreign terri
tory. We must be on the watch and see
that our members of congress who have
been through this fight are returned. 1t
is the aim of those most deeply interested
in the development of foreign territory
to have new men sent to congress for the
next session when the Philippine question
is to be brought up again. 1t is up to
the farmers whether in OF out of the beet
belt to keep an eye on this matter.
Every farmer who raises an acre of beets
takes just that much land from other
crops and consequently helps the farmer
who is not raising beets and thus all are
interested.
Certain influences are at work in Mich
igan and the sugar beet congressman
seem to have been spotted. One of the
strongest advocates the industry had in
the last battle was Hon. A. B. Darragh,
of the eleventh district. AS the next two
years will see some strenuous efforts made
toward reduction of tariffs for products
from the PHILIPPINES, also some activity on
the Cuban tariffs, as the present relations
will expire before the congress adjourns.

IT not only continues to be true that
mora jobs are hunting for men than
there are men who are willing TO accept
them, but wages, too, appear to be quite
as active in the right direction. 1t is
stated that while the total number of
wage earners in the United States has
increased sixteen per cent since 1900,
the aggregate amount of money paid in
wages has increased thirty per cent.
during the same. Wages, therefore,
seem to be several laps ahead of jobs at
this stage of their pleasing mutual
progress

receipt of a circular letter issued by the

We are sorry to note the fact, but fact
it is just the same, that truth is not
always considered necessary by some
would be politicians. very forcible IL
Illustration is furnished by Editor Coutant,
of the Isabella County Enterprise, pub
lished at Mt Pleasant. The instance
referred to appeared in the issue of Au-
gust 10, when in replying to question,
''What Has He Done" referring to the
official record of our present congressman,
Archibald B. Darragh) which appeared in
a recent number of the Big Rapids Pion-
Ger, Mr. Coutant said:
"Answer to No. is that Mr.. Darragh's
neglect of Charlevoix harbor has almost
resulted in its ruin and today it needs
government support to prevent loss of the
sums of money the government has spent
there. 1t cannot accommodate the large
boats and they give the town the go by"
Ignorance of the facts, like ignorance
of the law, excuses no man from making
a statement that cannot be supported by
facts If Coutant has the facts let him
trot them out. Referring to the above
the Charlevoix Sentinel of August %.
published by Willard Stearns, a long time
resident of Charlevoix, says:
Nov, the question arises: Will the
voters of Charlevoix county stand this
sort of nonsense? The question not only
reveals an iuexcusable ignorance but is a
gross misstatement of facts. To-day il
needs government support to prevent
loss, etc" Why, Mr.. Coutant, should
YOU make a statement of that sort?
Charlevoix harbor has been under govern
ment support since 1872. We quote from
the annual report of the chief of engineers
L. 5. A. From March 4, 1898 to March
4, 1901, being the first eight years of the
existence of the present 18th Congress
sional district, the total appropriations
for CharlevoiX harbor aggregated $4,000.
From the 4th of March, 1901 to the 18th
of March 1906, there was appropriated for
CharlevoiX harbor $4,000"
Today there is depth of IS feet of

What boats give the harbor the go

Unless early and correct treatment is
applied the patient seldom survives
when once the disease is fastened upon
her. We believe Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound is the most eff

icine especially prepared for this
purpose.
When woman is troubled with pain
or weight in loins, backache, frequent,
painful or scalding urination, swelling
of limbs or feet. swelling under the
eyes, an uneasy, tired feeling in the
region of the kidneys or notices a

lose no time in commencing treatment
with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable

saving her life.
