FOR DRY FARMING.

The bill which is pending in the
state legislature providing for dry
farming experiments near El Paso is
a meritorious one, and 1t IL hoped 1t
will become a law. says the El Paso
News.
A large portion of the millions OF
acres OF land tributary to I'll Paso

upon him the lessons of obedience
and self control, she encouraged him
In a reckless disregard for the rights
of others and a deep-seated con'
tempt for every restraint thatf socie-

his father reduced his allowance be-
cause of his dare devil" ways and
riotous living. she stepped in and
supplied him with n princely income
that his tendencies toward folly. de-
bauchery and ruin might not be
checked. It doubtless Is a pitiful
sight to see the old mother broken

year after year encouraging her own
offspring to follow the downward
path that inevitably leads tn ruin.

pREplcAmENT OF THE THAws.

The sight Of a proud and aristo-
cratic family taking upon itself vol,
unfairly the stigma OF hereditary in
sanity Ii a novel one to say the
least, says the Topeka Herald. 1t
must have required more than an
ordinary amount OF courage for the
Thaws to face the world and &C
knowledge the hitherto unsupported
fact that the faint of the madhouse
runs In the blood OF both sides OF
the family. Yet such are the traits
to which the relatives Of the youth
full murderer are driven in their eff.
forts to save him from the electric
chair.
That sympathy should be felt for
these people Is natural and ineyita-
BILE. But the feeling Of pity should
not be permitted to thwart justice
and encourage reckless indulgence
and crime. While We cannot but pity
the aged and gray haired mother
who is willing to make any sacrifice
to save her sons life. and for whom
every moment of the trial Is a mo-
ment of torture, the fact also on
fronts us that she Is merely reaping
the harvest she has been sowing for
years. She herself is largely respon-
sibIe for the crime. All through his
boyhood and early youth, with her

comes the thought Of the magnitude
of the sugar beet industry Of the
United States Nd dweit upon In a
recent report issued by the census
bureau nj Washington. ID. G, Ae.
cording to data collected In 1906. the
manufacture Of beet sugar Is now
carried On In twelve states. the lead
linz producers being Colorado. Michi' |
gan and California. The first nam
"a turned out sugar 10 the value Of
$4,000 while Michigan made
ss.s7s.ooo and California t~i.tts.0Oo.
These three states produced nearly
10 per cent Of the total beet sugar
output Of the country In 1905.
The state which had the greatest
number Of factories In that year was
Michigan. no less than nineteen
plants being devoted 10 the industry
In the Wolverine state. OF these. ten
have been established since 1900.
Colorado reported nine active fac
tories In 1906. against only M In
1900. The greatest actual increase
I'm the value OF beet sugar products
from iaoo-05 took place In Colorado
while Michigan wal second.
During the past five years the TO
tai amount OF money paid out by
United States factories for beet SUI
gar has increased threefold and the
aggregate value OF finished products
has advanced more than threefold.
The production Of graduated sugar
In 1906 aggregated 900! 200. 900 lbs,
raw sugar 100000 lbs. and molas'
ses 100000 gallons. The total val
ne nf beet sugar factory products az
gregated se4,s4s .o0o. this including
beet pulp valued at slightly more
than 100000.
The sugar beet industry is going
on apace In Colorado. One OF the
factories Ia among the largest In the
world. There 10 room for several
factories more. and In time they will
he built. The sugar beet industry Is
greatly popular with the farmers.
Colorado Is n OF the few states In
which the farmers are willing to
grow more beets than the factories
can take care OF. Some 1000 acres
more would have been grown around
III. Collins last year, but the factory
could not promise to take them.
When the ground Is properly fertiliz

tribut1ons Of less than $500 from making an
accounting Mr. Wainwright fought hard last
year against this clause in the BILL maintaining
that II would leave serious loophole in the
law by which practically its whole purpose
could be defeated. The experience Of the As
Eociation TO Prevent Corrupt Practices at Elec-
lions has been that this exemption was used in
many cases precisely as had been predicted, for
a distribution Of funds for Illegal purposes and
a strong fight viii be made this year TO wipe out
that clause from the law.
The Wainwright bill requires that every pay
ment Of more than 50 be accounted for by
proper vouchers instead of every payment OF
more than SO. as the present law specifies II
includes candidates among those who must file
schedules oS expenses. and candidates also must
file statements of contributions made by them.
The time for filing statements is extended from
fifteen days to thirty days. One important ex-
tension Of the provisions Of the measure is the
