LOWLY SUGAR
BEET INSPIRES
VERSE MAKERS
Efforts OF Michigan Growers May be
Applied to Conditions in
Weld County.

In view of the apparent banner
crop of sugar beets in Weld county
this fall the following limericks,
sent to the Tribune by C. A. Gran
ger just before his death, are of in
terest. They were read at beet
growers entertainment in Saginaw
Mich. but apply to all sections,
The hymster is also beginning to
recognize in the humble sugar beet
a subject worth writing verses
about. Mr.. Lewis J. Williams OF
the Saginaw-Michigan Sugar Co,
recently perpetrated the following
at an entertainment given by the
company to its beet growers:
John Jones didn't have a red cent,
Till he run against frankie Lent.
Some beets he put in
And he makes lots of tin:
Now he's got houses to rent.
A fellow way down in Montrose.
In the district where Hy Dana goes
Sugar beets he won't raise,
So to hum he now stays.
Because he can buy no new clothes,
There was young lady from Flint
OF money she had nary hint,
Till she raised sugar beets-
Now she's got cushion seats,
And more gold than is piled in the
mint.
There was young man named
John Slow
Owned farm that he couldn't
make go.
He fell in with Long Pete
And they talked sugar beet,
And now he can't count up his
dough.
]. Otto Scholtz is mighty good
soul;
He puts in his time with his beets
and his coal.
His coal mine may fail
And his store may burn down
But he'll never go broke
lille there are beets in the grounu
A man that is named Joseph Hlsel
Each year he gets wiser and wise
His beets when they're sold
Just turn into gold
Because he used good fertilizer.
Not a cent had
Billy Fitch.
Planted bets,
And now he's rich.
Planted them
Two feet apart,
That Is how
Bill got his start.
Billy likes beets
Pretty we'll
Says other crops
Can go To-Day City.

A Colored Y. W. C. A.

The assistance afforded the plan to
establish a Y. w. c. A. hall for colored
women of this city is praiseworthy. 1t
seems assured that a hearty response
will be made when the call is sent out
for financial aid Under the supervision
of the Central Y. w. c. A. the colored
organization should flourish.
The system of furnishing homes,
recreation centers, and opportunity for
study which has been so successfully
inaugurated by the Young Mems and
Young Women's Christian Associations
is gaining new supporters each year. The
recent census has once more established
the fact that a very large part of the
population of the District consists of
colored persons. Everything possible
should be done to improve the condition
of these residents, and the methods
adopted by the Young Mems Christian
Association and the Young Women's
Christian Association are certain to be
effective.

Washington-made Aeroplanes.

Another Washington-made aeroplane,
of no particular type, yet combining the
qualities of the recognized standard fly
ing machines, has been constructed and
is soon to be given trying out on the
White Lot. The encouragement given
by the national government to young
inventors who have made aeronautics
study is commendable. Potomac
Park, an ideal spot for flying, is being
loaned to aspiring sky pilots, and the
result has been a stimulation in aero
nautical research in this city.
The action of the officials in charge
of the public reservations in permitting
the use of Potomac Park for amateur
trials will do much toward encouraging
young men of Washington with an in
ventive turn of mind to assist recog-
nized professionals in perfecting the
transportation vehicle of the future.

The Telephone Rate Decision.

Again the Interstate Commerce Com
mission has found time to listen to the
complaint of an individual, and after
a thorough consideration OF all the
facts in the case a decision has been
rendered in his favor. We refer to the
case of Mr.. Shoemaker against the
Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Company.
Mr.. Shoemaker declined to pay rate
charged him by the company upon the
ground that it was higher than was
paid by thirty-seven other telephone
subscribers in Somerset, Md, where he
resides, for the same service. The
commission holds that this is an illegal
discrimination 1t intimates, however,
that unless the more favored citizens
have unlimited contracts with the COM
pany the latter can raise their rates,
especially as there is no claim that the
figure proposed to be charged Mr..
Shoemaker is excessive. While this
may happen, it is none the less salts
factory to know that the Interstate
Commerce Commission is willing to ad-
dress itself to the consideration of in
dividual complaints of comparatively
minor importance
At the same time, if Mr. Shoemaker
were a resident of the District of Co.
lumbia, it is very doubtful whether he
could appeal successfully to the COM
mission, because the latter has juris-
diction only in interstate matters. This
fact demonstrates all the more clearly
the necessity here for a public utilities
commission, which shall have authority
to regulate and control public service
corporations.
Mr.. Theodore N. Vail, the president
of the American Telephone and Tele-
graph Company, man of large expert
enee and broad views, recently de-
clared, in his annual report, that public
utility commissions had come to stav
and that they were valuable factors in
their particular sphere. The District,
therefore, can count upon his support
in its effort to secure the desired legis-
lation. AS matter of fact, any public
utility which renders efficient service
for reasonable rates has nothing to fear
from commission or anything else.

Congress and Inauguration.

The proposition to change the date
of the Presidential inauguration from
March 4 to the last Thursday in April
has coupled with it a reform in the
time of the assembling of Congress.
The present system is open to the
serious objection that unless an extraor-
dinary session of Congress is convened
the newly elected members do not take
their seats until thirteen months after
they have been chosen. During the
year which thus elapses conditions
change and the issues involved in the
campaign are almost forgotten. In ad-
dition to this, the defeated members
return to Washington for three months
of service, when they have been practi-
eally voted out of Office Representative
Henry's amendment to the Constitution
provides that Congress shall hereafter
assemble on the second Monday in
January, a period of about sixty DAYS
after the election. In Presidential wears
the new Congress would count on the
electoral vote cast in harmony with the
political complexion of the newly
chosen body.
There is much to commend in this
plan, and the States would unouestion.
ably ratify the amendment. As for the
change in the inaugural date, it goes
without saying that the proposition
commands general support. The ex-
perenees in Washington on inaugura-
tion days in the past have been most
unpleasant. Rain or snow. with an oc.
easional blizzard. has only too fre.,

PASTORS OPPOSE
LIQUOR SALOONS
Abolition Strongly Urged in
Many City Churches.

Washington pastors yesterday generally
observed the anr"al field day Of the Ma
tional Anti-Saloon League. when ad-
dresses were made urging that saloons
be abolished, as 1t is charged they are
"dens of iniquity'' in any shape.
The most prominent Of the observances
was at Wesley NJ. E. Church, where
mass meeting was held. Rev. DR.. Earl
Wiley, pastor of Vermont Avenue Chris
tian Church, addressed members OF the
league as well as Washingtonians in
terested in the progress Of the organiza-
ton.
II ia claimed that owing to the en-
deavors of the society the number OF
saloons in Washington has been mater
tally decreased in the past few years, and
more progress will follow. according 10
officers.
Some attention was paid to the Aiken
bill, now before Congress. IN which II Is
proposed to make changes In the liquor
laws of the District. Citizens OF WASH
ington, as we'll as members OF the ANU
Saloon League, were urged 70 JOIN IN
the fight against King Alconoi.
Rev. DR.. Wiley, in his address, charged
lack of interest among business men OF
the city. He said that the men who should

lowing closely the work in the churches,
but would not respond to calls Tor aio

The War Department Probe.

An inquiry into the expenditures of
the War Department has begun.
1t is a natural sequel of our political
system, and it is conducive to good gov
ernment as we'll, that now and then oc-
casion arises, by change of control,
for strict accounting of prerogatives
and responsibilities. These investiga-
tions are legitimate, whether inspired by
patriotism or partisanship.
Since the war with Spain the War
Department has been occupied with
gigantic undertakings. 1t inaugurated
and maintained the occupation of Cuba
while the republic was established. it
engineered the permanent occupation
and civil administration of Porto Rico,
it was foremost in the establishment of
American government in the Philip
pines, and it is now responsible for the
construction of the Panama Canal.
A review of these operations, involv-
ing direct expenditure of $5oo,oooyooo
will be instructive and profitable. There
will be no political advantage in the in
quiry, however, unless ineficiency, ex-
travaganee, or disregard of law is
shown.

laws prohibit everything except breath
ing on THE Lords Day. commonly
known as Sunday" Under these old
laws a man was fined 200 pounds of
tobacco or 1888 1-3 for doing any un-
necessary labor on Sunday. He was also

Yesterday in Mount Rainier everybody
took whack at the law Of 1723. but
nobody was arrested. All day long ex-
Mayor Joyce, who is still justice Of the
peace for Mount Rainier, stood at the
seat Of judgment. alongside the mint
bed, awaiting case. He fairly itched
to apply the blue laws. He waited in
vain.
On every hand the justice could hear
sounds of Sabbath breaking. The rattle
Of the lawn mowers. the swish of
scythes, the lowing of the kline sthey
were led up to the milking stool greeted
his ears. but no sound of the shufiing
feet of reluctant lawbreakers. as Mayor
Plants myrmidons hailed them before the
bar of justice near the mint-bed- None
came. Late last night it was explained.
Needs No Marshals.
When Mayor Plant assumed his new
job the two town marshals Of Mount
Rainier laid their badges Of office at the
feet Of the new executive. No longer
has Mount Rainier any officers Of the
law. except Mr.. Justice of the Peace
Robert E. Joyce. The new mayor had
announced that he intended to appoint
four marshals in the place Of the two,
but he forgot II. Mount Rainier has man
aged to worry along through the week
without needing any law officers. Happy
Mount Rainier.
The new mayor was so confident that
nothing would happen on the first Sun
day of his administration that early yes
terday morning he went for long auto
mobile ride He had not reckoned on
the Mount Rainier propensity for dis
orderly conduct.
When he returned to the town at
late hour last evening Mount Rainier
had tired of Sabbath breaking. 1t was
long after o'clock and the Mount
Rainier community, except the members
of the Comedian Club" were safe in
bed.

Ball Game Results in Victory for Bears.

The gymnasts of the Turnverein and
their friends made Chesapeake Beach
look like the metropolis of the State of
Maryland. They crowded the boardwalk,
the booths lining this promenade did a
regular land Office business. The COM
mittee in charge had provided for games
and amusements for young and old. and
there were also athletic contests between
the various teams Of the turner's.
A baseball game between the Bears and
the Grouches furnished plenty of amuse-
ment. The score was "a to 80 in favor
of the Bears. although the umpire claimed
the Grouches won. Sensational base run
ming by Brother Buehler, Mann's style Of
pitching, and Meissner's way Of catching
were easily the features Of the day, and
will be discussed for many days to coma

wives, their children, their friends and
