CLEAN POLITICS LOOKING UP
IN TENNESSEE.

Tennessee presents a more whole
some countenance to the country to
day than it did yesterday. Governor
NJ R Patterson has withdrawn as the
Democratic candidate to succeed him
self
Patterson's Cooper pardon and his
affliation with the railroad and liquor
interests of Tennessee aroused the
people of the State as they had not
been aroused for years. They went
at the business OF eliminating the
governor and the interests for which
he stood from participation in Ten
nessee government affairs Patterson
has simply yielded to an awakened
public opinion that was putting him
into a deep political grave.
The Patterson retirement Is a vic
tory for decent politics and clean gov
eminent. II the Democrats keep their
eyes open, and make sure they haven't
kicked Patterson out only to take in
somebody else who Is Just a. OBJ
jectionable, the chance OF retaining
the State for the people Is excellent.

Monday the Greeley district Of the
Great Western Sugar company was
made richer by the distribution of the
final payment for 1910 beets, when
more than half million dollars were
paid to growers and factory employees.
The sugar beet crops over Northeastern
Colorado was this year the best yet
grown from the standpoint of sugar
content, and the returns to the growers
were in excess Of any previous year,
the sliding scale in most instances
bringing the farmers more money for
their crop. For the coming year it is
said better methods of cultivation and
more attention to proper irrigating will
be practiced by the farmers growing
beets, who will in some instances re.
duce their acreage in order to give the
crop better attention in the hope Of in.
creasing the sugar content. Hereto
fore tonnage has been the principal
thing sought after, but under the newer
plan Of paying for the beets that is of
secondary importance.

back and forth. The road as it is now
is hardly passable and when Walter
stops the people from going through his

This will never do and the only way out
Of It is through a petition. We must
