beet seed raisers great deal of trouble.
The sugar beet sends up three to five
plants when 1t sends UP any at all. and,
as the planter does not want his field
crowded in this way he has to thin out
the plants after they are started. This
is rather expensive. putting a charge of

For long time 1t was thought that II

ly. Where his convictions were en-
listed, he had no reservations, and he
used every means, every available
weapon, as l have shown. But he was
never self-seeking, never cheap, never
insincere. A leicester of all machine
politicians, he was a statesman worthy
to be called the William Pitt of the
United States. The consistency of
his career was a marvellous thing, be-
cause, though he changed in his be-
liefs, he was first to recognize the
changing conditions of our country.
He failed, and he is execrated. He
won, and he is forgot.
My chief, Mr.. Calhoun, did not die
until some six years after that first
evening when DR.. Ward and l had our
talk with him. He was said to have
died of a disease of the lungs, yet
here again history is curiously mis-
taken. Mr.. Calhoun slept himself
away. l sometimes think with a shud-
der that perhaps this was the revenge
which Nemesis took of him for his
mistakes His last days were dream
like in their passing. His last speech
in the senate was read by one of his
friends, as DR.. Ward had advised him.
Some said afterwards that his illness

John Calhoun indeed died of his err

1t was through John Calhoun, a
grave and somber figure of our his

Texas. 1t was through him also-and
not through Clay nor Jackson, nor any
of the northern statesmen, who never
could see a future for the west-that
we got all Of our vast northwest
realm. Within a few days after the
Palo Alto ball, a memorandum of
agreement was signed between Min
lister Pakenham and Mr.. Buchanan,
our secretary of state. This was done
at the instance and by the aid of John
Calhoun 1t was he-he and Helena
Won Ritz-who brought about that
treaty which, on June Is, of the same
year, was signed, and gladly signed,
by the minister from Great Britain.
The latter had been fully enough i'm
pressed (such was the story by the
reports of the columns of cur west
bound farmers, with rifles leaning at
their wagon seats and plows dashed to
the tail-gates. Calhoun himself never
ceased to regret that we could not

this he was thwarted by the impetu-
