BEET SUGAR LEADS.
Production Of Beet Sugar SurpaSSeS
That Of Cane Sugar.
4 NATION Of ' SWEET OlTHs.
The Average American Consumes Half His
Weight In Sugar Annually.

Figures gathered by the United States
government bureau of statistics show
that the average American consumes
half his own weight in sugar every year
and Uncle Sans sugar bill averages a
million dollars day. The consumption
in the United States during 1907, the
latest year for which statistics are avail
able, reached 1859, 667. 975 pounds.
Calculating this total at the average
retail price of Sc cents per pound gives
total of $572, 900, 900 as its cost to the
consumer
1t is shown that 2l.4 per cent or
l ,5l1 900, 900 pounds of the sugar con-
sumption of the county was of home
production; H. per cent, or 1854 ,000,-
600 pounds, was brought from the
insular possessions, and the remaining
81 per cent. or 4,367 100000 pounds,
came from foreign countries. Forty
three million pounds was the aggregate
of the expectation of sugar from this
country.
For 1907 the q1antity .of sugar i'm
ported from foreign countries was
larger than ever before. The quantity
brought from the island possessions was
larger than in any previous, year. The
quantity produced at home exceeded
that of any other year, and the quantity
exported was larger than in any year OF
the last decade. The per capita of con-
sumption was the largest ever recorded
an average of 81. pounds for each man
woman and child.
The production of beet sugar for the
first time exceeded the production of
cane sugar, the figures being: Cane
sugar, 544 900, 900 pounds; beet sugar
967, 900, 900 pounds.
The worlds production has practically
doubled in the last twenty years, having
grown to 90, 900, 900 900 pounds III 1907
While the United States consumed
about IS per cent of the total worlds
production of 1887, it consumed 2;
per cent of the greatly increased pro
duction of 1907. Beets now supply one
half of the grand total produced. while
90 years ago they supplied but one third

TIE QUESTIONS 70 "WHAT ARE
YOU como TO Dol"

At the meeting OF the committee
I25, appointed by the progress diner
to solicit members for the Chambe
Iof Commerce under the proposed re
Organization. u campaign for mem
'bership 200 will be launched. The com
'mitteemcn will go forth In the com
mupity to ask citizens to join In 9
movement which has for It's Object one
thing, the good OF Newport News. A
comparatively small sum Of none!
and just a very little time and work
are all that Is asked. Surely the call
should not be made In vain.
Some people are inclined to hold
back because. they say. the chamber
has accomplished nothing in the past
This Is no argument. The question is
not What has the Chamber done in
the past?" but What is the Chamber
going TO do In the future?" 1t is gen.
orally agreed that an upto-date. pro
gressive business organization is es.
scntial to the prosperity of every city.
Then why should we delay giving
Newport News such an organization?
When approached In regard to thii
movement, more than one man Is GO
Ing to say What is the chamber go.
Ing to do?" This is another improper
question. II Is What are YOU going
to do?" The rehabilitated chamber
will be made up Of the citizens of the
community WHO are. willing TO contri-
butte small part of their money and
talents to the public good. Every cit
izen may have himself enrolled as a
member and when he has done so he
will have as much right to say what
shall be done by the chamber as any
other member. Therefore no man can
say that he will not join the move
ment because nothing will he accom-
plished by 1t. II nothing Is accom-
plished the man who refuses support
will be responsible for the failure.
Fortunately. however. the success Of
the new Chamber Of Commerce move
ment seems practically assured. The
reorganization is going to take place,
and things are going to be done. But
In order that the greatest good may
be accomplished it Is essential that
the maximum number of members be
enrolled at once, therefore the solicit:
ing committee will 90 to work with q
will and do more than extend a casuai
invitation to the people who should
be on the list.

CAMPAIGN FUNDS.

II tank deposits are guaranteed as
recommended in the Democratic ma
tional platform, funds in bank will be
as good as gold in the pocket. There
will be no more money panics be-
cause there will be no more lack of
confidence. Washington will not have
to go to the aid Of Wall street banks
in trouble because all banners. being
jointly responsible. will watch the
Wall street banks and see that they
do not do dangerous and irregular
business. Big bankers do not want
deposits made absolutely safe In all
banks because II will give them less
power with their sbig banks. They
oppose the Democratic guarantee.
Large industrial interests enjoying
special favors at Washington oppose
the popular election Of United States
senator's because such method would
soon result in Lreaking up the pres
ent powerful senatorial Oligarchy
headed by men who shanlelessly rep
resent Standard OIL. All these big in
terests fight this plank in the Demo
cratic platform.
The Republicans will not materially
reduce tariff schedules because the
tariff barons control their organiza-
ton and provide their campaign
funds.
To prevent the adoption of reform
measures the Republicans will have
an enormous campaign fund contribut-
cd by the powerful interests most
deeply concerned. The rigid policy
governing the campaign funds of the
Democrats does not govern with the
Republicans. They tell nothing until
the fight is over. Then 1t can be
shown that large sums were paid b
minor organizations and men who
could not render detailed reports.
With the Democrats there must be
weekly reports.
II the government at Washington Is
to be rescued from the powerful few
and turned over to the whole people
the people must help now. The DEM
|ocratic managers need money for the
legitimate expenses OF the campaign.
They do not require and do not expect
anything like the millions which will
be used by the Republicans. They
have no vast organization with thou
sands Of men. from the topmOst to the
lowest. receiving extrayagant salaries.
But they do require money to see that
the Republicans do not improperly
use the vast sums put at their dispos-
al BY rich men who want TO continue
the government OF the few. They
require money for the preparation and
dissemination Of literature and for the
expenses Of national headquarters
