"Manners Mayketh Men,"

The North American Review dis
courses upon the improvement in
american manners, declaring that
though the change is not marked, it
Is of the gradual character that makes
Tor permanence. The Review says:
1t is not true, as declared in the
form of notices upon the walls of
q famous boys school in England,
that manners make the man, but
they help; and, much as we may de-
spise them as mere outer garment
and superficial soul-covering, we can
not ignore the fact that they are
still vital conditions of social inter
course, and afford much of the charm
without which existence would be
unendCrable. Beautiful manners are
as captivating as beautiful face or
hand or form, and, unlike these, may
be acquired. To be born and bred
well is a great blessing, but it is not

SUGAR SEASON CLOSING.
Windeor Factory Shuts Down anc
Others Will Follow,

Denver.-A Greeley dispatch of the
18th inst. says: The Windsor sugar
factory finished slicng beets to-day,
having ground 9400 tons of beets this
season, making $4,000 tons of sugar.
The company has paid $470,000 to
the growers for beets and $166,000 to
the 200 worlimen of the factory Beets
in the Winsor district averaged six
teen tons to the acre and were of ex-
cellent quality.
The Windsor district has contracted
Cor the growing of $500 acres, the
limit of the acreage for the Windsor
factory, the coming season. All grow
crs signed the silo contract. In view
If $4,000 acres having been secured
for the growing of next years crop
!op the Greeley Eaton and Windsor
factories the Weldon valley beets will
be turned over to the Fort Morgan,
Brush and Sterling factories. Three
thousand acres of beets are grown an
Eually in the Weldon valley district,
which embraces Orchord, Masters and
Weldon
Greeley and Eaton factories will
finish sugar making this week, but the
boiling down of the residue sugar into
syrup will take several days longer.
The beet seed for this years crop
has arrived from Germany and IL the
::lild weather continues it is likely that
bcct planting will begin the last of
March instead Of April 10th as hereto

LoVELAND BEET GROWERS.
Association Withdraws Its Opposition
to Signing Contracts.

Denver-A special TO the Denver
Republican says: The difference be-
tween the sugar companies and the
beet growers have been harmonized
and the contracts for this years crops
are being rapidly signed. Individual
farmers will refuse to raise beets un-
der contract to silo twenty-five per
cent of them, but the majority are
willing to try this experiment for one
year at least
1t is now practically certain that
nearly rs large crop as usual will be
raised this year. The local executive
committee of the Beet Growers Asso-
citation, authorized to act for the asso-
citation met Tuesday and withdrew its
opposition to signing the contract of
fered by the sugar company in the
following resolutions:
IN order to effect harmony and CO.
operate with the sugar company, and
20 renew the former good feeling that
existed in the past six years, this com
mittee would recommend the laying
aside of all past differences and cheer-(
fully sign the contract as given for
one year, it being expressly undeD
stood, however, that this concession
on the part of the growers is not to be
'16-iueu dS all SHleTluB WeuSe IOr 1uT-
ther concessions in future years for
the reduction in the price paid for
beets.'
This action of the committee meets
with general approval, as it removes
the danger of the closing of the factory
for the coming season. 1t has demon
strated spirit of fairness on the part
of the growers, who are willing to lay
aside their differences, cooperate with
the company for the common good and
at least try the experiment for one
year. 1t has also put the farmers in
better position to ask for favorable
terms another year. The tension
caused by the uncertain outlook dur
ing the past few weeks had come to be
felt in business circles and the fact
that the matter has been definitely
settled causes general satisfaction.
Tuesday was final pay day at the
sugar factory, and $50 men walked out
to seek other employment until the
factory starts next October. Only
about fifty of the 600 employees now
remain to clean up and make repairs
The pay roll of the factory during the
past four and half months has
amounted to more than 100000. This,
added to the sum paid out for beets.
brings the total up to the handsome
figure of $1,000.0OO.

Only Millionaires Wanted.

!: Unfortunately, under present condi
fions the highest appointments in our
diplomatic service are of necessity al
most restricted to millionaires, simply
because men of moderate means can
not afford to accept them. 1t is a fact
well known, says Rene Bache in Lip.
lpincotts, that John C. New refused
the English mission few years ago,
on the ground that it would ruin him
hnancially, accepting instead the
place of consul general in London,
which paid him $4,000 a year, with
no incidental obligation to entertain
expensively. To show honor to Alice
Roosevelt Longworth and her husband

spent a sum equal to his salary for a
twelvemonth ts17, 5000 on festivities
covering two days 1t was an excep.
fional case. of course, but even the
ordinary social demands upon an
ambassador make a frightful drain

'SMooT'S SPEECH
MORMON SENATOR ELOQUENTLY
ASSERTS HIS LOYALTY.
ALSO CtNDEMNs P0LYGAMY
SAYS There Are No More Plural Mar
riages--Bigany Rgidly Prosecuted
in Utah Courts-Six of Seven Lat
est Apostles Are Monogamists.

Washington.-Sena Smoot made
his long expected speech in his own
behalf in the Senate Tuesday He was
followed by Senator Dillingham;, who
made an argument in support of the
Utah senator.
Speaking in his own defense, Sena-
tor SmOOt condemned Dolygamy in the
strongest terms, declared the practice
does not now exist in Utah. He in
sisted that he had never taken an oath
as apostle in the church which would
in any way prevent him from dis
charging his duties of senator and cit
izcn with the utmost fidelity. He him
self had never had but one wife, and
would not think of giving his official
or personal sanction to any other ar
rangement in the case of other mem
bers of the Mormon Church.
Not only are there no more plural
marriages, insisted Mr.. Smoot, but
Mormons in charge of the Utah courts
always have vigorously prosecuted
any members of their church guilty
thereof.
AS an instance of how obsolete
polygamy is becoming in his church,
Mr.. Smoot said that of the seven
apostles chosen since 1890, six are
monogamists.
While admitting the possibility of
some polygamous marriages being
made since the manifesto, Mr.. Smoot
declared the cases have been rare,
and without the church's sanction.
In only one instance, he declared,
has there been direct proof of such
plural marriage, and this occurred in
a Mormon colony in Mexico. This was
in defiance of the solemn commands
of the church.
Referring to The alleged reasonable
features of the Mormon endowment
ceremony, Mr.. Smoot declared that
rite to be entirely religious in char
acter and calculated to breed love of
country rather than disloyalty. Be
ing sacred, the rise is not divulged to
outsiders but at the same time there
IS nothing therein preventing a Nor
mon from being loyal to the United
states.
Characterizing hier. chal domina.
ton as a myth, Mr. Smoot drew pic
ture of Americas future. Built on
foundation of religious tolerance, he
said, the nation would grow and pros

those who always were finding crises

sugar factory yards here is increasing
year by year. This winter there are
6,4S6 head of cattle and 2,520 sheep
and lambs being fattened at these
Yards by the Use of pulp and alfalfa,
supplemented by a light ration of
grain, on which the stock makes rapid
gains.
Cattle are driven here from as far
away as North Park to be fed on pulp
and alfalfa, one North Park cattle COM
pany having 700 head in the yard. In
the main the season has been favor
able for carrying on these operations.
Owing to the absence of rain and snow
the yards have been dry and clean and
the cattle and sheep have taken on
flesh at rapid rate. The list of feed
ers and the number of stock each had
in the yards this winter is as follows:

Revival in Mural Paintinq.

In our revival of mural painting W.
have had much to learn. The larger
number of our painters were not
otherwise equipped for the work than
BY the possession Of technical ability
to draw and paint the human figure
on the scale of life or larger, and all
the other manifold conditions of exc
cutting an acceptable decoration they
were obliged to acquire. Small Won
der is it, therefore, remarks Will H
Low in Scribner's Magazine, that in
these few years the expressional
quality of our painters work should
have suffered in their effort to meet
fhese new technical conditions. Nor
mas the fault been entirely that Of
the painters, for all others concerned,
the architects and building commit
tees, have shown equal Indifference,
and in none Of the public buildings
thus far decorated has there been
drawn up definite scheme OF themes
TO be treated, nor any allotment made
pf their various parts to different art
lists. In some cases the painters have
organized themselves into sem
'blance of such a committee but if a
definite project has ever been devised
pit has never been carried out to the
avoidance of repetition of subject
within the building, or, as in one
case, on the walls of the same room.
