Louis James.

Among the pretentious dramatic of ferings of the season the coming pre- sentation of "rhe Merry Wives of Windsor,' by Louis James will be one of the most conspicuous, for it is said that MT. James has not only given a magnificent scenic establishment to this delightful comedy, but has sur rounded himself with a coterie of con- fereres worthy of his association and best consideration. Nellie McHenry, who has been identified with some of the most important productions of the last decade, has been specially engag- ed to play Mistress Quickly, a char acter that is said to fit her like the proverDial glove.

GO INTO POLITICS.
Hearst Advises the Labor Unions to
Stand Up and Be Counted.

Washington. June 21.-'I believe
that Ia Dor can better obtain its ends
by entering into politics and making
any reasona Bile demands of the people
factor than by resorting to force, such
as calling strikes. BY that I mean
that labor can gain great deal by
entering the political arena
This was the opinion expressed by
Representative William R Hearst of
New York after a brief visit to the
meeting of the executive council of the
American Federation of Labor, now in
session here.
Mr. Hearst had been invited by
President Gompers to give to the
council his opinion as to the question
of labor entering into politics in the
effort to obtain the ends for which
it is working.
THE laboring men. knowing my at
titude on this question, said Mr..
Hearst, merely desired to question
me as to how, when and where labor
could derive the best benefits by en-
tering politics.
81 told the council that it was my
opinion that laboring men should en-
ter politics. said Mr.. Hearst "prac-
tically along the same line that I have
expressed IN my newspapers. and that
it was desirable that they make
showing of their numerical strength
and of their power. I would not have
them go into politics as partisans.
The labor movement should disa ssoci-
ate itself from partisan politics, and
then labor people should regard them
selves not so much as Democrats or
Republicans but as labor men. and
use their great strength and their in
fuence to elect to congress candidates
favorable. After showing the great
power the labor element possesses
they will receive respectful considera-
ton of their demands
What part will you take in the
movement?" was asked.
THE same part I heretofore have
taken he replied. MY ideas are just
the same. MY newspapers will treat
this question just as they have treated
it in the past. Nothing has been
pledged by me in any way, and I don't
believe anything viii be in the future.
No political alliances, SO far as I
know. have been made or contem-
plated"

HURRAH FOR THE SUGAR BEET
1. L. Diesem Tells What 1t Is Doing for
Finney County.

T. L. Diesem, who has lived at Gar
den City for nearly quarter of a cen
tury, drifted into Topeka yesterday
with an armful of sugar beets, and
filled brim full of enthusiasm and boom
talk. The sugar beets have within the
last few years become close rivals with
alfalfa, tor which that section of the
state is noted, for first place as money
producers and now that an immense
sugar factory Is nearing completion
will probably rob the alfalfa farmer Of
his aTistOcratic bearing.
The beets which Mr.. Diesem carried
with him to verify at least one of his
stories were eight inches in cireumfer-
ence by twelve inches in length and
weighed nearly a pound each and We're
not the largest in the field by any
means. They have not yet reached
maturity and will not until the middle
of the summer when they will be sew
eral times their present size. The crop
in Finney county is estimated at 5000
acres and will yield from ten to fifteen
tons per acre and are worth five dol
lars per ton at the factory which is
located a couple of miles west of Car
den City.
seThe country never was in as pros
porous a condition as it is today, said
Mr.. Diesem, and the prospects are the
most fattering. We have had rains
once a week for the past two months
and they have averaged an inch Of pre-
cipitation for each of the eight weeks.
There are no grasshOppers to speak
of and the first cutting OF alfalfa is in
the stack and the second one is almost
ready for cutting. There has aever
been as much fruit in the county as
this season and all of it of the finest
quality and flavor and there Will be
thousands and thousands of bushels of
the finest kind of peaches. apples and
grapes to say nothing of dozens of
other varieties OF fruit.
1.-The $3.50, 900 sugar factory which is
being constructed by the sugar COM
pany is already three stories high and
there is another story or two to be
added. 1t will be completed by the
first of October and in time to handle
this years beet crop which VIII amount
to from fifty to sixty thousand tons
THE county has increased from if
teen hundred to two thousand in popu-
lation during the last year and new

value within the past year and sugar

made that it Will bring more than this
