OOOt Cio II 10 " o"SCSoS Nv y N,
aud when we got Mr.. Austin S
ear and told him we were worried
ABOUT the outcome of the sugar
beet, and that VIC wanted to know
something about the situation as
it looked to him, he smiled and
said, "Well, | am not worried
about the outcome. | think l
know what that will be, but | am
uncertain as to the time when the
problem will be a settled fact
among the farmers. "
"When the sugar industry was
introduced in Utah it was an ex-
pertinent; but it has passed the
experimental stage, and the only
serious menace to the business is
the sugar lands in the islands of
the Pacific Ocean.
Operating sugar factory in a
community, means the expendi-
ture of about half million dol
lars which would not otherwise be
there" "About $4,000 of
this Is directly connected with the
business, and something like
500, 600 comes indirectly, ip con-
nectlon with the feeding of stock,
the better sale of hay, grain and
other things. 1t brings more peo-
pie into the locality, furnishes EN-,
ployment for surplus labor, and
makes employment for people
which fills in the winter months
instead of leaving them idle and
on expense, as they are without
that crop
"Ralsing the beet crop success
fully means an immense improve
ment in the character of farming
in general. The statternl y farmer
becomes a thorough farmer. The
beet gro oSer quits feeding stock Oh
hay alone, aud goes to feeding a
mixed ration of hay, grains &c.
lie becomes more thorough in all
he does and gets better results.
But that is not what farmers here e
want to know just now. They
want to know whether they can
raise an acre of beets with hired
labor and deliver them to the cars
or factory, and have a profit left.
If they can they will raise them,
and if not they caunot keep it up
very long"
"What the farmers need here
is more tonnage; but what most
of them have been asking for is
more money per ton. There is
far more difference in that than
they realize. For instance, if he
expends $35 an acre to handle the
crop, and just harvested one ton
Of beets, he would have to get
$35 a ton to break even. An ad-
vance Of fifty cents or dollar
ton over the present price would
cut no figure in his losses, for he

1t Is expected that meetings Will
be called at the principal towns of
the valley between the Oath and
3lst, days of March for the pur,
pose of selecting Directors to rep
resent the various localities.
Study the matter carefully and
talk it up to your neighbors and
turn out at the meetings when
they are called.
We have the natural advantages
but it rests with US to develop
them, and in organization there
is strength.
Let us all pull together and de-
velop the resources which God
has given us.
The organization is not mere
association of farmers, but is a
corporation with a capital stock of
half a million shares of the par
value of ono dollar each. EacE
farmer is required to take one
share of stock for each 40 acres Of
land which he may own or farm in
order to become member of this
organization. This feature pre-
vents any one from securing the
controlling interest in the corpora
tion unless he is privileged to play
in good many back yards and
holler down lots of rain barrels,
for the stock is being taken up
every day under direction OF a
score OF agents scattered from
Rich to the head of the valley,
aud stenographer at Blackfoot is
kept pretty busy with pepcil and
machine, fixing up various docu-
ments and shaping up personal let
ters down to where the ''yours
truly" comes in.
The Corporate name is "The
Farmers Protective Association
Limited. and the indications are
that the majority of farmers in
this valley will have signed mp for
all their '.forties" by the time the
equinoxial storm is over.
Unlike the New York Life In
surance company, the salaries of
! the officers will be limited. The
compensation of the directors
when actually in the harness is to
be three dollars a day; aud the
total number of directors elected
shall be seven.
Too much money in the treasury
is not to be expected, but, each OF.
fcer who handles any st the COM
pany's COIN will be required to
furnish an approved bond with
some surety company. . s.
Board meetings are to be held
quarterly, but like thesscounty
board, they can hold meetings
when necessary. ,f2.s
The organization has been ont.
lined under direction Of some OF
the best legal talent in the valley,

II il now announced that there
will be another meeting OF the
Hague Conference during the
coming summer. The organiza-
ton Of this conference was ct the
suggestion Of the Gar Of Russia
who had an idea which he be-
lieved could be worked out
through the conference. which,
when realized, would permit the
nations of the earth to disarm all
armies and settle differences by
arbitration. Tho Gar was the
frst ruler to discover by actual
experience the impracticability
at such a conference, to which
he could not afford to submit his
unjust and unreasonable demands
Of japan. AS in the case Of ia
ran and Russia. such . confer
ence would be idle waste OF time,
when two nations have before
them 4 question which involves
he ACQUISITION or loss Of terrific
~. Human nature IS streaked
through with q vein of selfish
ness that will never permit the
realization Of such utopian dreams
a are embodied In the ideas
which brought about the Hague
Conference.

The lower house Of our State
legislature has passed amend
ments to the present primary
election law which requires can
didates for Office to keep an item
lied expense account of all mo-
MES used in making the canvass.
The measure is now before the
senate for consideration. Such
q law has been necessary in the
northern and western states for
q long time, but it seems that
in those states where it is a law
it does not prevent men with
money buying political positions.
The United States Senate has
men on both sides who have
bought their seats outright from
legislatures, and notwithstand-
ing this fact it does not seem to
detract from their standing and
influence in the senate. The
southern states are exceptionally
free from such rottenness in
politics. and Mississippi, especi-
ally, has been able to boast a
clean record until the last state
canvass. The methods employed
in that canvass have been the
source of regret to all who believe
in clean politics. The hiring of
men at stipulated salaries to go
out and work for a candidate;
the furnishing of money to in
fluence votes, are the worst fea-
lures of latter day politics. On
ly a very few years back such a
thing was unknown in Missis-
sippi and the people should put
their condemnation on such ne
farious practice by burying un-
der an avalanche of votes every
man who seeks position through
such methods. Let the canul-
date use what money that is nee
essary to pay his expenses in go
ing around getting acquainted
with the people and giving them
his views on public questions.
That is legitimate; but whenever
a candidate seeks to win a posi-
ton to which he aspires through
the influence of money, he is
unworthy to be trusted and will
sell the people out if at any time
it becomes necessary to have
more money to further his ends.

An Absurd Contention.

The contention that the Mobile
and Ohio Railroad Company was
backing the railroad commission
in it's efforts to have the Mobile,
Jackson & Kansas City railroad
comply with the order of the
commission and the various or
ders of the courts on the legal
points involved, is the veriest
nonsense, and shows what straits
the friends of the road are put
in getting up arguments to ex-
cuse the road in violating the
law. The Mobile, Jackson &
Kansas City road has had all the
help from the Mobile & Ohio road
that could be given under exist
ing conditions and the former
road has no cause Of complaint
against the M. & O. The follow
ing from the Mobile Register
states Col. Russell's position
fully:
"By the way" said Colonel
Russell, Il see that the Memphis
Commercial-Appeal has printed a
long story under date of Ponto-
toe, Miss, which asserts taat the
Mobile & Ohio railroad is back
ing Commissioner Kincannon in
his fight about the trains of the
NJ. j. & K. c.. road stopping at
Pontotoc. This report states
that the Mobile & Ohio has plac-
ed an agent at Pontotoc to take
care of thu business. There is
absolutely not a word of truth in
any statement made in the arti-
Gle published by the Commercial
Appeal in so far as it connects
the Mobile & Ohio Railroad with
the trouble. On the other hand
| have endeavored to use my
friendly Office to bring about
satisfactory adjustment between
the officials of the Mobile, Jack.

Health Reform in Sight,

II the proposed amendment fixing q
thrce-year term for members OF tho new
Board of Health and making that body
continuing one, Is adopted by the two
health committees tonight, and there
Is no good reason why 1t should not be,
nothing stands in the way OF an imine-
tiiate rehabilitation of the health de-
pnrtment of Richmond. Tho T!mes-Dis-
patch has steadily opposed all plans which
provided for the simultaneous election Of
the entire health bt&lrd. It is quite
enough to give the Council! control, of the
personnel Of that board without expos
ing It's members to recurrent hurry bur-
ly OF biennial elections.
In any event no man can become
member who does not receive aYmajorty
vote of the Council, and when once that
vote has been cast the board ought to
have some reasonable continuity, both
In It's membership and It's policy.
5# Out OF the whole discussion emerge
some impressive and very encouraging
facts. In the first place Messrs. L. G.
Williams, A. L. Blair, y. II. Grundy,
John j. Lynch and w. w. Morton, men,
bers Of the Board Of Aldermen and Com
mon Council, were able and willing both
to investlga te the true condition and offer
q satisfactory and sufficient remedy.
From the first publication of this report
The Times-Dispatch has earnestly sup
ported Its recommendation and In the
main these suggestions will apparently
be adopted.
Had this work not been done Rich
mond would still be crying for the light
and suffering because no answer came.
But the work has been done, and its
fruit was the. insstent demand for re-
form WHICH will now from all appear
ances be made effective at once.
a stronger proof Of the power of In
teligent criticism combined with public
opinion could not be easily found, and
as a result of this combination Of forces
Richmond will have health board that
can, with reasonable care and common
sense, make this one Of the heulthest
cities In The world.

The Marshall House.

In speaking yesterday OF the Marshall
House, which is situated on the square
to be occupied by the high school build
Ing, Tho Dispatch said that this
building might be disposed of after the
city purchased the property, to the State
Bar Association, or to some other or
ganlzation that would preserve It. But
The Times Dispatch believes that the
city should own and occupy this sacred
edince. Tho best way to preserve any
building Is to inhubit 1t. The city needs
this house as an administration building
for the public school system, and 1t
should be retained and utilized for that
purpose. That would doubtless ne the
wish OF the owner, and it would he the
best tribute that the city could pay to
his memory. To turn the building over
to some organization. to be preserved
merely as relic. would be like retiring
distinguished old man from active ser
vice. 1t would be much higher COM
plment to John Marshall to preserve
his home as part and parcel OF the
living. progressive, educational system Of
this city.
