American Beet Sugar Co. is now in full
swing. Production began In Callfor-

The probabilities are that American
Beet Sugar will make from 20 to rs per
cent. more sugar this year than last.
| The l9OS-09 production was cut down
| by prolonged drought in Colorado.

that state by IS to 60 per cent. So far
this year weather conditions have been
favorable for the slicing of a good
sized crop of beets.

there is no increased demand, but that
there is a greater scarcity of small

ADuLTERlhe THE SENATE.

June 26, 1887, the question of COM
pensation for members of the Sen
ate being under consideration, Gener-
al Pinckney, Of South Carolina, NOV
ed that no salary whatever be allow
ed. He argued that as the senate
was meant to represent the wealth
OF the country it ought to be com
posed of persons of wealth. and If nc
compensation were allowed the
wealthy alone would undertake tht
service"
Comparatively few political argu
ments that were made a century and
a quaFser ago look as sound to some
people today as that one does. Yet
no institution can exist that long
no matter how carefully it was con
stituted to resist change-wfthou
suffering some modification. The
Senate today does not exclusively re
present wealth. as General Pinckney
said it was designed to do. OF late
number of members-men like La
Toilette. Beveridge, Cummins, who
try TO represent mere people insteat
of wealth-have seeped into the
body. adulteraitng its pure plutocrac!
with an active. though not quite in
effectual, leaven of democracy. To
day, therefore, we should have tt
change somewhat the terms of Gen
eral Pinckney's argument, and sa!
that, as about sixty per cent. of the
members of the Senate represent op
ulent interests. they should look ex
clusively to those interests for thei
compensaion-instead of taking
side. or collateral, glance, SO t,
speak, at the public treasury.

people Of the United States are &C
tually paying wages to the majorit,
of the Senate for framing the ney

Spain, the Republican majority fell
from ~ to %.
Last year 219 Republicans and l72
Democrats were elected to the House
making Republican majority of AZ.
What would be the effect of an AID
rich tariff on the Republican majority
in the Congressional elections next
year?
During the national campaign last
year the promise was made by Repub
lican campaign speakers that the re-
vision of the tariff would be honest,
thorough and in the main downward.
MIR. Taft personally confirmed these
pledges many times. The Tariff bill
as adopted by the House was on the
whole as good measure as could
have been expected from a party
welded to high protection. But Mr..
Aldrich in the Senate bill has prac-
tically undone the work of the House.
He has raised the most important
rates to the old Dingley figures or
fixed them even higher. Revision
under his management has not been
honest, it has not been downward.
AS the bill leaves the Senate it is a
mockery and betrayal.
The Republicans of the House will
soon be on trial before the country.
By standing firm on their own bill.
by refusing to accept the innumer-
able increases and cunning devices
by which Senator Aldrich has con-
trivedtto defeat downward revision
in behalf of the consumer, they will
not only redeem the pledges of their
party but will have Just claim up
on the gratitude Of the voters. The
Aldrich schedules cannot become law
without the consent Of the House.
Virtually every member of that body
will be candidate for reelection
sixteen months hence. Is there sim
gle Republican Representative who
thinks the Aldrich schedules will fur
ther his chances or furnish him with
C defensible platform upon which to
go before his constituents?
Mr.. Taft gave timely warning to
the Republicans of the House when
he said at New Haven a few days
ago that "unless the Republican par
ty lives up to its promises and the
expectations of the people there is
no doubt that 1t will be relegated tc
the position of the minority opposi
tion."

THE MUSIC THAT CARRIES.

I've toiled with the men the world has
blessed
As I've toiled with the men who fail
ed;
I've toiled with the men who strove
with Zest.
And I've toiled with the men who
walled.
And this is the tale my soul would tell
AS it drifts DER the harbor bar:
THE sound of sigh don't carry well.
But the Tilt of laugh rings far.
The men who were near the grumblei S
side,
o, they heard not word he said
The sound of a song rang far and wide
And they hearkened to that instead.
It's tone was sweet as the tale
they tell
OF the rise of the Christmas star
The sound OF Il sigh don't carry well,
But the Tilt of laugh rings far.
If you would be heard at all. my lad.
Keep laugh in your heart and throat
For those who are deaf to accents sad
Are alert to the cheerful note.
Keep hold of the cord of laughter's bell,
Keep aloof from the means that mar:
The sound of sigh don't carry well,
But the Tilt of a laugh rings far.

GOOD FoR SENATOR clApps

From the st. Paul Pioneer Press.
The people of Minnesota, and of
St. Paul in particular, have reason to
be proud of the record Senator Clapp
is making. He, with Senator Nelson,
is numbered among the insurgents, .
who are putting up fight for the
people and in opposition to what ap-
pears to be almost conspiracy to re.
wise the tariff in the interests of a
few. He has had the temerity to
stand up for what he knows the peo-
pie want 1t has been very evident
during all the extra session that
Minnesota is one of the very few
commonwealths that is not being rep.
resented in the senate by Rhode Is
land and few other Eastern States
Senator Clapp has fought consist
emily in the cause of the people. He
has put in some telling blows, but
none more effective than the one he
landed Thursday on the finance com
mittee's amendment to the corpora
tion tax measure.
The Senator denounced the amend
ment as direct slap at the Roose
welt policies. He called attention tc
the fact that during years Pres
ident Roosevelt, backed by the Amer
ican people, fought against the trust
spirit; that the former president wag
ed war on the principle of monopoly
and sought to let in the liMelight OF
corporation affairs. Senator Clap
denounced the emasculated bill O
the finance committee, which is de
signed to shut off publicity and tt
give express recognition to the exist
tence of holding companies. The sen
ator may not be able to accomplish
the immediate defeat of the program
mapped out by the senate bosses
but he is laying the foundation TO
ultimate success on the part of thu
people. He has had the courage tt
stand by what he knows to be thu
will of the people and to tear tht
mask from the Aldrich clique. Sena
tor Clapp has earned the gratitud'
of the American people by his sturd!
fearlessness as the champion of ,
square deal for all.

wlLL rHE HOUSE SURRENDER

From the New York Worldly
The House of Representatives that
passed the Mckinley tariff numbered
166 Republicans to 159 Democrats
when it organized. In the next Con-
gress there were only IS Republican
Representatives, while there were
236 Democrats.
The Wilson Tariff bill was passed
in 1894 In the preceding election
220 Democrats were elected to the
House and 1876 Republicans. In the
Congressional elections following the
passage of the Wilson tariff the
Democratic majority was changed in
to minority numbering only 104, ant
the Republican minority became 9
majority with 246 members.
In 1896 206 Republicans and 134

ONLY A SMILE.

Only smile was given me
On the crowded street one day,
But 1t pierced to gloom of my sad
dened heart
Like sudden sunbeam's ray,
The shadows of doubt hung over me,
And the burden of pain / bore.
And the voice of hope l could not hear
Though listend DER and o'er
But there came rift from the crowd
about
And face that knew passed by.
And the smile caught was brighter
Than the blue of summer sky;
For 1t gave me back the sunshine,
And 1t scattered each somber thought
And my heart rejoiced in the kindl!

Which that kindly smile had wrought
Only smile from a kindly face
On the busy street that day!
Forgotten as soon as given, perhaps.

But straight to my heart 1t went speed

To gild the clouds that we there
And l found that of sunshine and life'

to bring this just measure of taxation

the same time the Senate resolution
sheds curious light upon the politi-

So far as the income tax was an is

was Democrats who advocated the

to levy and collect tax upon individ

end that wealth may bear it's pro

girl then gave the letter to her
