AN ATTACH ON THE ESTAB-
LISHED ORDER.

Mr.. Raymond Robins plea for
d new civic industrial conscience is
easily explained by the life and work
of the speaker. He is brought into
contact with the unemployed, the
wretchedly poor, unfortunates who are
reduced to desperate straits. He sees
the possessors of superfuous wealth
adding to their capital by questionable
means, revealing on the one hand an
Unsuitable greed for more and on the
ether a wasteful expenditure which
brings costly luxuries to few, while
the many are on the verge of starva-
ton or living from hand to mouth.
This contrast is not peculiar to our
country or times, and it may be grant
ed that in times past the condition Of
the masses was worse than it is now
But that is not to prove that bad
condition should be tolerated, and it
is a fortunate thing that the contrast
is acutely felt by constantly increasing
numbers Of people, and that men like
Mr. Robins are proclaiming the revolt
against it by their protests.
This is true, also, in spite of the
exaggerations that sometimes flare up
in the protests. For so long as the
cause persists the revolt will spread,
and safety lies in open discussion.
Friends of the established order woulo
Go we'll if they recognized that fact
and prepared their minds for revolu-
tionary social changes in the future.
But whether they prepare themselves
or not, the changes are certain to &C.
cur. For as the intelligence of the
great majority of the producers of
wealth broadens and their power in
creases their demands will become
more and more effective, while chance
and greed will become less and less
important factors in determining the
distribution of wealth.

SUGAR BETS IN GERMANY.

Consul-General Thackara supplies a
valuable report on German scientific
methods Of securing the highest unit
value for every particle of the sugar
beet. The tops, residue pulp and
even the mud remaining after wash
ing the beets are all utilized for vari-
GUS purposes. Americans have been
equally successful in the close utiliza-
ton of the cotton seed and are as
fully capable of developing the fullest
economies in handling the sugar beet
America now pays to foreign nations
over $9O,OOO,OOO annually for sugar
which Mr.. Thackara thinks could be
largely saved by the extension and
scientific handling of the sugar beet
crop, benefiting also the farmers and
their land

cure as little loss as possible from this
condition the city closed contract with
the railway directors to furnish the
yards and depots of several stations

One of the coal mine companies CD
Grating in the district manufactures
coke and has almost completed the
erection of a large electric power plant
to deliver electric current to cities and
villages within reach. This company
purposes to utilize the hot gases formed
in the manufacture of coke to drive
the dynamos of its plant The coal and
coke company can produce by this plan
electric current for commercial pur-
poses cheaply, and, as the plant will be
an alternating current system. the firm
is contracting to deliver it to impor-
tant places at distance.

Great numbers of vast fortunes in
this country have been and are be-
ing built up on the very ignorance of
the masses in regard to business
methods, says Success. The schemers
bank on it that it is easy to swindle
people who do not know how to pro-
tect their property. They thrive on
the ignorance Of their fellows. They
know that a shrewd advertisement, a
cunningly worded circular, a hypnotic
appeal will bring the hard earnings
of these unsuspecting people out of
hiding places into their own Golfers.

The city of Crefeld has completed a
electric current delivered supplying all
its needs at a price much lower than
the city could supply it and the city
officials are rejoicing that the occasion
presented itself to them at such an OPP
perfume time. The distance from the
electric light plant to Crefeld-Linn and
the harbor territory is about ten miles,
but the contract with the city is made
to cover a large additional district
which is to get electric current cheaper
than the plants In operation can make
it under the old system.

German City Contracts for Electric
Current at Low Rate.
One of the problems confronting the
city officials of Crefeld, Germany, in
providing necessary improvements in
the new harbor territory and the sub
urb Crefeld-Linn, adjoining, was the
problem of furnishing these places
with cheap electric light and power.
The direct current generated at the
city power house could not be utilized
on account of the distance; hence the
city would be compelled either to build
and equip a new power house or to set
up an alternating current machine and
conduct the current to the place of
consumption, about five miles away.
The cost to the city would be great
to adopt either plan. The consump-
ton of current for the first few years

SONGS OF THE NATION.

words of several patriotic songs, such as

cellent! 1t is a crying shame that not one
In ten of the average American audience Is able to
peat sing all of the stanzas of America" An ex-
change tells patriotic Sunday school superintendent
who was surprised to find that the national hymn
not contained the book used in his school, He request
ed the children to sing it from memory. They got
through the first stanza and then faltered And the
adults present unable lend them much assistance
This incident typical Do you suppose company of
Germans would fail to sing every line of Die Yacht
Am Rhne?" Or could you imagine any audience Of the
French that would fail to remember single word of
the "Marseaise The fault is with the schools. Youth
