HuIinss on the Ancestry Fad.

The speach Of Gen. Willis J. HUI
ings at the congress Of the Sons of
of the American Revolution, in
Pittsburg, was the brightest, keen
est and most piquant deliverance of
that brilliant occasion. In the
course Of his sententious talk he
could not refrain from slant that
was calculated to ruffle that class Of
Jubblesons whose progenitor "driv
baggage wagging in the Revolu-
shun," and are ever exploiting the
Jubbleson ancestry until some one
rings them off. Here are couple
or SO of the Generals propositions:
pride in ancestry is noble
trait, but this achieving world rates
man for what he is worth. 1t
has derision and contempt for men
who have no boast except for deeds
OF buried ancestors. Men must get
into the game and show by present
action their right to have had noble
ancestors. If this pride in ancestry
be made an incentive for noble liv-
ing and heroic action, it is good.
Science teaches the doctrine of he
redity, but also that of atavism. The
boast of ancestry proclaims a debt,
and mott discharge. We must do
something, otherwise ancestral pride
is grotesque. The world asks of each
man, What are you doing?' 1t is
apt to regard these associations as
fashionable fads. Voltair9 said:
Who serves his country best has
no need of ancestors
"Are we keeping alive the spirit
of liberty2 Are elections pure?
Does pulp outstrip merritt A
handful of men hold in their con-
troll rs 100000 people. not by prin-
ciples, but by fear Of losing their
bread and butter. The power of
money seems omnipotent. In these
days there are portents that give
warning of coming events as por-
tentous as those of '76. 1t is no
idle alarm. Billion dollar trusts
that brook no competition are a
peril The Governments in Puerto
Rico, Cuba, Hawaii and the Phil
ippines are peril. The possibility
Of creating an atmosphere that will
stihe the independence of the judici-
airy and statesmen is a peril. These
dangers demand that Sons of the
American Revolution be true to the
nobility of their ancestry. The wis
dom of the country is challenged.
Herein lies the grand duty of such
societies. Herein arises the chance
to justify the existence of such or
CARNATIONS.
Rome tcttered to its fall, reckless
of warnings. The American people
should stand on the picket line and
resist encroachments upon liberty.
Congresses of the Sons Of the Revo-
luton are all right, but there is a
solemn duty resting in these critic
al days upon every member"

The Case of Silver.

The case of silver has been in
an uncertain condition ever since
1898. The silver men have never
given up hoping that reason would
reassert itself in the minds of the
people and that they would give up
this mad idea of using germ-carry-
ing paper as a medium of exchange
and return to the asseptic and in
destruciible currency of their faith
ers.
A currency commission has been
appointed and is now working on
the problem. Here is silver's last
chance. Are our silver men work

fuence they can with this commits

A LETTER TO
 ENTERTAINERS Issued by the Southwestern
 Sugar and Land Company THE SITUATION REVIEWED
Company Recites the Local Conditions, Its Own Plans and Purposes and How It Will Deal With Beet Growers.

The Southwestern Sugar and Land company has issued the following circular letter which has been mailed to 1,500' residents of the valley, farm CTS, as near as the lists could be secured. or men interested in the growing of sugar beets. There is a bare possibility that some prospective beet growers might not receive one of these letters and in view of the fact that everybody reads The Re publican, the letter is reproduced here. It speaks for itself:
 Phoenix. Ariz.. Nov. 9. 1908.
 Dear Sir:-The undersigned, the Southwestern Sugar and Land com pany. has purchased from the bond holders, the factory. lands and all of the assets of the old Eastern Sugar company and intend to have the mill ready for grinding beets by April l. 1909
 Before investing, We had the mill thoroughly gone over by experts, and also the water situation for running the factory. The mill is splendidly constructed and with very few changes win be strictly modern and up to date and can easily handle 800 tons of beets daily. The water. while expensive. is not serious. and the company is now at work investigat- ing various underflows. the one on Salt river being unquestioned if we find it necessary to go in that di-

rumOred intentions are true. railroad revenue will be considerably increas- ed next year from this source alone;
 so that with increases in gross earn
 ings and decreases in expenses, net
 results in 1909 should be exceedingly
 favorable. The outlook for indus
 trials is also more satisfactory. Here
 too, expenses have been curtailed as
 far as possible, and with the resump-
 tion of business profits will rapidly
 recover from recent losses The iron
 industry is still a good trade barome-
 ter; and if the orders received by
 the United States Steel Corporation
 are any indication, the outlook is
 certainly promising. Orders for about
 $25.0O0.O 900 to $30,000,0O0 were placed
 in October; the sales of copper were
 unusually large; decided improve
 ment has taken place in the cotton
 goods trade; the grocery trade is
 more active, and the general revival
 of enterprise is shown in the large increase of new interpretations. All
 of this activity was stimulated by the expectation of MT. Tafts election;
 so that a burst of activity now would be unreasonable. Another boom is the last thing to be desired.
 There is every reason, however, to take a cheerful view of the future
 While the election has been largely discounted an important stimulus has been given to recovery which later on will assert itself. It is quite pos sible that the stock market will show ,Ta, tA ha temptation to take profits. The un- settled condition of international pol itics in Europe also affects our se- curity markets. because American stocks are the best on which to real ize when other need protection. Lon don has already returned some con- siderable blocks of our securities, though gratified at our election re- suits, and would undoubtedly repur- chase them were it not for the Balkan situation as well as the uncertainty regarding the attitued of Germany. Forthcoming security issues. will also tend to restrain any further excessive advance. At home an observing eye must be kept on congress and the state legislatures. Tariff legislation is sure to come up at Washington; and the anti-corporation fever may again show itself in some of the state As to the tariff, which could really be modified without harm to any interest and with great benefit to others. there is little pros pect of anything important being done. Discussion may be complicated by our reciprocity agreements with France and Germany; but the pro- tected interests are strong enough to prevent any radical changes. What ought to be done is to pass a measure a graduated reduction, last ing over a series of years, thus sav- ing industry from shock and giving both merchant and manufacturer ample time to adjust themselves toi the change. Such a method would avoid the most serious objections to all tariff changes-that of prolonged

THE CLEWS
 PREDICTIONS Business of the Country Will
 Now Thrive RAOICALISM OVERTHROWN
The Effect Will Be Less No- ticeable In the Stock Mar. ket Which to aLarge Ex- tent Had Discounted the Certain Defeat of Bryan

The Weekly Review by Henry Clews & Company Nov. '. is the most cheering forecast of the future yet uttered. It declares:
 The election is over. The country has most emphatically declared that it wants peace; that it desires noth in so much as a rest from threatened radicalism. it needs a free chance to recover from the inertia begotten of last years panic. Of course, the re- suit of the election had been. to considerable extent discounted in the stock market, hence there has been no such speculative rebound since, as some very hopeful but inexperienced observers anticipated. This, however. should cause no disappointment; for the defeat of radicalism has been so complete, and the demand for sane, sober and honest government so em- phatic, that far reaching results to all business interests must follow. These will not be seen at a glance and will not come in overnight. Weeks and months will be requisite to bring out the full beneficent re- suits of the political tidal wave, which swept the country on November 9. and left a lively realization of the dangers escaped. So much for the sentimental effect of the election which is important What of the practical effect which is more impor- tant?
 A considerable amount of business has been held in suspense for several months, until the result was fore
Arizona republican., 1908-11-12

seen. Many orders and many new
 enterprises were temporarily pigeon
 holed. As indications of Mir. Tafts
 success became more pronounced. ac-
 tivity was resumed by the more Ven-
 turesOme spirits, hence the extent was
 discounted to a considerable extent
 Yet an important amount of business
 was undoubtedly postponed until the
 result was definitely settled Such
 orders and such enterprises will from
 now on be undertaken more confi-
 dently and add to the volume of busi-
 ness. And largely because of the
 new and well founded cheerfulness
 there is good reason to look for a
 steady recovery towards the normal
 in business. Nothing would be more
 unfortunate than to see the country plunged into another period of specu-
 lative eNcesses such as brought on
 the panis of 1907; and fortunately
 there is nothing of the kind in sight.
 The last few presidential elections
 have been followed by a considerable rise in stocks, so it remains to be seen whether this election has not been already sufficiently discount ed. The conditions this year are so radically different from previous post election periods that little analogy can be drawn between them, and this year must be judged largely by itself. In the first place it must be remem- bered that security prices are now quite high; especially considering the volume of business and the lessened profits which both rail roads and industrials have endured. The only thing that makes securities look cheap just now is cheap money, which combined with hopefulness are the main factors in support of the stock market. What stocks may do when interest rates advance, as they must with the in- creasing demand for mercantile cred it's. can not be predicted at this time; but it is evident that the lifting power of cheap money can not be re- lied upon indefinitely, and it must be realized tbat this support will gradu- ally disappear as business improves Just now money is plentiful and cheap. It must also be recognized that the floating supply of stocks has been largely concentrated in a few hands ever since the panic, and that the holders of the accumulations are anxious to take their profits and
 tighten their load. This they will do 1n every favorable opportunity. On the other hand, the general situation
 Is very satisfactory. All the known forces are towards the recuperation. As a result of recent house cleaning he financial situation is exceptionally sound; and there is nothing in sight .o prevent an unusually prompt re- turn of business to the normal. at east in volume if not in profit. Our 'ailroads are exceptionally well situ- tied; some croaking managers to the contrary. Recent depression has brought about many economies that were never dreamed of; traffic is rap dly recovering, and at the present ate will soon reach last years vol Ime: rates are being advanced. and if

rection and the total raise is not
 prohibitive. The Augua Fria under
 flow can be had if we find it most
 economical, and will probably be the
 place selected; so that in addition to
 the ditch water we will have an ab-
 solutely reliable auxialiary supply for
 use in case of shortage in the canal
 We mention these matters because
 we believe the raising of beets by
 the farmers and their manufacture
 into sugar by the sugar company is
 as near a partnership as can exist
 between corporation and an indi-
 vidual. The company needs you and
 you need the company, and we be-
 lieve if We approach the matter in
 this spirit we will make a success
 that will mean much for the com
 munity and ourselves. However, we are not pOing as philanthrOpists; we would not be here if we did not hope and expect to make money; but in doing so the farmer will prosper pro pOrtiOnately. Our corporation is sim ply an association of men putting their money into one big investment. Many of the stockholders have less invested in their shares than you have in your farm. nor will their profits he any greater than yours when we succeed; so you can see the benefits are mutual
 The management and control of the company will be in the hands of men of long experience in the growing of sugar beets and the man ufacture of sugar, and they will bring to this institution the prestige of success in ether factories. They are fully conversant with every detail of the buesiness and fully realize that any policy that is not mutual can not permanently succeed The president of the company. MT. J. R. McKinnie, made the first subscription for shares in sugar company in Colorado, where there are now sixteen success full factories paying the farmers many of dollars annually, and by reason of their establishments the value of lands has been enhanced several hundred per cent.
 The management of the Southwest ern Sugar and Land company was largely interested in the building and of the Loveland mill at LOveland. Colo. that now pays the farmers of that vicinity one million dollars per year for beets, and around which, within a radius of forty-five miles, there are five other factories. although the irrigated area is but little, if any. larger than the Salt River Valley project. They also con trol the Western Sugar and Land of Grand Junction, Colo, which had failed under other man. 3gement, but which today is making nearly a million dollars worth of sugar annually. and will soon have to be doubled and another mill built in -he vicinity. After successfully Oper lting the Loveland factory and put ing Grand Junction on its feet, the same people and their associates quilt and are operating a factory at Harden City, Kas. This mill has been the means of quadrupling land
