Beet Sugar Method,

Much OF what James Bodkin, the
Colorado sugar beet grower. told the
congressional Sugar trust investiga-
ton committee about the methods OF
the Great Western Sugar company is
not new 10 the history OF the beet
sugar industry in the west. Some OF
the impositions and dark dealings
complained Of in Colorado we're prac-
ticed years ago in Nebraska, as well
as other western states, which once
believed they had discovered new
roads to wealth and industrial great
ness by the beet sugar route
Mr.. Bodkin says the sugar COM
pany has way Of hiding from the
farmer the amount Of sugar IN beet
and OF thus manipulating prices TO
suit itself. II has always had that
way. II was because the beet grower
found out enough of this and similar
ways TO know that there was small
profit in raising sugar beets except

gained control Of the raw as well as
the finished product-that the bot
tom soon fell out OF an industry in
several western states, which at first
promised the greatest kind Of results.
But now If, to all other imposi-
lions, the trust has added the offense
Of peonage, II is high time II was
brought to legal accounting. The
Colorado grower seems 10 know what
he is talking about in this connec-
ton and a good many other people
familiar with the history Of the beet

years ago colonies OF foreigners we're
planted and handled for the rougher
work in harvesting the crops and
that out OF the system grew many a
condition that ought not to have
been allowed. II would not be sur

Woodrow Wilson ~ y PPOteetIonist.
OMAHA, Dec. 8.-To the Editor OF The
Bee: Woodrow Wilson. the candidate in
the field for the democratic nomination
for president. ia not just clear as 90 his
stand on certain OF the present day cues
lions 1t is generally supposed that Mr.
Wilson stands squarely on the democracy
which Mr. Bryan advocates. but IL We
are 70 go into the subject and find wha
the record shows as to Mr.. Wilson 5
position on the tariff we must soon b.
convinced that he is a rank protectionist
In his book Mere Literature" he has
the following TO say on this very i'm
portant question. His position can hardly
be questioned. as this was written Just
at the time when the trusts were being
organized. Mr.. Wilson says:
Without the free lands TO which every
man who chose might go there would
not have been that easy prosperity Of
life and that high standard of abundance
which seems 10 render 1t necessary that
II we were to have manufactures and a
diversified industry at all. we should
foster new undertakings by q system OF
protection which would make the profits
OF the factory as certain and as abundant
as the profits OF the farmeTs"-Page rs
Now. how many bumps do you need TO
convince yourself that Mr.. Wilson is a
proteotionist7 The above quotation seems
to have been overlooked by those who
have been advocating the nomination of
the New Jersey governor.
Mr.. Underwood is a protectionist, too.

MARKET STREET
WIRES TO STAY

Some comment is being made on
account Of the new light standards
being erected along Market street
by the Wilmington and Philadelphia
Traction Company because the wire
arms on the standards are several
feet lower than those now on the
wooden poles. The new poles will
carry all overhead wires on the three
arms, ten Of which will be the troll
ley and light wires and these will be
lower than the wires now along tho
street
The firemen point out that at pres
ent nearly all wires are above the
roofs or above the third story win
dows of dwellings. Under the new
system the wires will be, even in
many cases with the third story win
dows and they fear tho wires will
interfere in the raising Of the lad
ders to buildings In case of fire.
That the wires are being placed OF
the poles is a disappointment to many
who were under the impression tha
with the placing of the iron standards
/ all overhead wires on Market stree
excepting the trolley feed wires, werl
! to go underground Instead the wire
will remain but the old wooden polel
will be removed eventually. The new
poles have not as yet been accepte'
by the Street and Sewer Department
the company placing them for the de
partment 10 accept them, II they se
fit.
An official of the Traction Compau.
said this morning that with the ney
poles all wires crossing the stree
would be eliminated, the current en-
terlng buildings from the wires ex
tending along the street over tn
curbstones. IL was also said tina
the numerous wires joining Marke
street at Tenth street would be car
ried down some other street, proba
bly, Orange street.
The brackets that have been plac
ed on the standards have created ia
Vorable comment and they will pre-
sent an attractive appearance wbe
completed.
