SUGAR CITY TO PUEBLO
THE WONDERS OF IRRIGATION
IN COLO.
Makes The Desert Place Bloom
as the Rose and the Sugar
Beet Grow

If We remember correctly our last let :
ter left off just as we were about 10
cross the line separating Kausas, the land
the parties, from Colorado the home
of the mountains. Before crossing the
line We wish to refer 10 a couple of other
items pertaining TO Kansas which we
forgot to mention in our last letter.
One is the method OF harvesting wheat
in western Kansas. Instead of cutting
the full stock Of wheat with binder as
in Missouri they have machine which
is known as "header." This machine
just cuts the heads Of wheat leaving the
stalk stand. AS the grain Is cut it is
carried by un elevation up high enough
80 as to drop into wagon and is then
hauled to the place where it is to be
threshed. The straw after threshing
only makes stack about five feet high,
six feet wide and in length according to
the size OF crop harvested.
The other item is the way in which
she has honored the memory Of Horace

itor of the New York Tribune. just be-
fore crossing the Colorado line W. pass

all expenses including the interest on

The gentleman above mentioned also
informed us that Mr.. Stewart was doing

we hope to stop and see him before we
eturn to Missouri. ..'
Besides the sugar beet we passed
wheat fields and fields Of Alfalfa. Some
Of this wheat is estimated to yield 70
bushels to the acre and judging from
the thick growth and the l)ng heads we
would not be SURPRISED that it yields
that much. The wheat il still green
here and will net be ready to cut for two
or three weeks yet.
Colorado may be ahead Of US in grow
ing sugar beets and alfalfa, but "Old

LET US DISCRIMINATE.
snndaYstar

sunday star.
II is scarcely possible that any words
could be too strong in condemnation Of
the revolving conditions revealed in some
OF the Chicago packinghouses by the re-
port of the special government agents
appointed to investigate the subject, and
the wave of Indignation that is sweeping
over the country against these unclean
and dollar-greedy beasts will be approved
by every one, except the guilty packers
themselves. But there SHOULD he some
discrimination There are packers and
packers, good bad and indifferent, and
while il Is right TO condemn the bad and
punish them, it is obviously unfair to in
clude in that condemnation the good, and
punish them equally with the bad; which
cannot fail to be the result of the present
indiscriminate howl against all packers
without regard to the methods they
employ in conducting their business.
Our purpose in these remarks is to pro-
test especially against the damage that
is likely to be done TO a very important
business establishment in this State. by
the thoughtless outcry TO which we have
rcieTed-an establishment that has a
worldwide reputation for honorable deal
ing and for the high standard Of its pro-
ducts We refer to the well-known con-
Germ Of Richardson & Robbins of Dover.
whose potted meats and other perpared
delicacies for table use form a family
staple in nearly every civilized country
on the globe The foreign trade alone
OF this house runs into many thousands
OF dollars annually, and It is easy to
understand how its business might be
seriously damaged by the present trend
Of indiscriminate assault upon the line of
industry in which il is one of the most
important factors We can speak from
personal inspection Of the extreme clean
illness and careful methods Of the Rich
ardson & Robbins establishment. and
there are no doubt many other concerns
of like excellent character, all over the
country, which are undoserving of the
suspicion that will naturally attach to
them because of tho revelations with re-
spect TO other establishments which have
not been designated with sufficient definite
ness TO enable the alarmed consumer to
place the responsibility where Il nghtfully
rests.
As has been truly said by one protesting
dealer. the examination OF packinghouses
should have been thorough, and not
limited to few; and il the matter had to
be given worldwide publicity, then names
should have been mentioned, with an in
dividual report in each case. so as TO en-
able the consumer 20 know who are the
honest packers and who are not and there
by credit or blame be given where it be-
longs.

me Fate Of Andloks.

While J. Edward Addicks keeps up his
pretcnce of being a candidate ior United
States Senator before the Republican
legislative caucus at Dover, tonight, there
does not seem TO be the remotcst proba-
bility OF his nomination. And this, too.
with 20 Union Republicans among the %
members who will compose the caucus
The situation Of a caucus with both
factions participating and pledged to
abide by the result, had IL prevailed at
the regular session Of the Legislature,
would have made MrAddicks the Senator.
But his defeat is to be administered
by his party friends men who owe to him
all the political prominence they now
enjoy.
At every Republican Legislature since
1895 Mr. Addicks has had a majority Of
the Republican members in his favor,
but the resolute opposition of the Regular
Republicans always interposed to prevent
joint caucus nomination. And now
that this Regular Republican opposition
TO a joint caucus has been abandoned,
Mr.. Addicks finds himself in a minority
by reason Of the desertion Of some Of his
former allies
The reason for this change Is no secret.
Mr.. Addicks Is now looked upon by his
Union Republican followers as a poor
man, unable to longer provide the money
with which TO buy elections While he
had the money he gave literally and his
following was loyal. Without money
he is abandoned by all except few per
sonal friends.
Mr.. Addicks will make a pretence Of
continuing in the race for United States
Senator, but all indications are that il
will be but a grisly farce. He was nearer
the coveted goal at the session Of 1905
than he ever was. or ever will be- but
the Abandonment Of his cause by those
who we're elected as his firm friends is
fatal to him now. They could make
him Senator tonight II they 20 desired,
but they are no longer in his service.
His fate under such conditions will be
almost pathetic, but II is deserved.

The one thing that stands forth con-
spicuous in the Senatorial situation is
the httleness Of Senator Alice He had
not the shadow Of influence in shaping
affairs and is merely tagging along behind
the du Pont procession, which was
formed not only without consultation with
him, but without the slightest concern as
20 whether it met with his favor OF
disapproval. He is left with only few
oihoeholders in his train, and they will
turn their backs on him the minute his
Senatorial colleague is safely installed
in the Senate.
