which appears to be worth
while repeating just now, in
view Of Mr.. Taft's recent hob

that the difference between

Unitarians think that they are
too good to be damned by God.

IS very little danger. II any, OF Council
Bluffs losing Il. When the National Hor-
tlcultural congress was organized the local
men back OF the enterprise guarded
against any such movement by including
in It's bylaws a provision prohibiting the
voting OF proxies. This, It will be seen,
leaves the balance Of power in the hands
OF the local members OF the congress and
acts to prevent any city seeking the show
buying up a large block OF membership
cards and then having its representative
or representatives voting them at the an
nual meeting. Every member must be
present at the meeting in order to vote.
When Il became known that other cities
we're after the 1910 show. the local men at
the head OF the congress got busy and,
as Superintendent Freeman L. Reed de-
clared yesterday. the Council Bluffs peo-
pie have been buying membership cards
like hot cakes" The number OF local
members, IL was stated yesterday. was
close to the 1000 mark. This being the

PROTEST AGAINST REMOVAL
OF TARIFF ON BEET SUGAR
+ Especial to The Sentinel. ]

Greeley. Colo, Apr. 27.-Those in
terested in the sugar industry here
are circulating a petition to be sent
to the finance committee of the Unit
ed States senate protesting against
the removal of the tariff on beet su-
gar.
The petition states that the sugar
industry is the leading one of this
state and especially important to
northern Colorado, and that it has
become so because of the present tar
if law. If the tariff is reduced it
says it will result in the complete de-
struction of the sugar industry.
So far only three persons have re-
fused to sign it out of hundreds who
have been asked to do so, and it is
expected that 5000 beet growers in
this and adjoining districts will sign
the petition during the next two
weeks.
