District Returns Are Tardy.

Although the other four counties
joined with scurry to form the 1O5
representative district are but n lit
tie way from Scurry county, the
vote in the representative race in
those counties had not been report
ed here up TO Thursday afternoon.
Wilmeth had received a good big
majority in Scurry and It is said
that scurry county votes nearly as
strong as all the other counties com
bined II is believed that Judge Ha-
gins carried Kent and Dickens

got enough votes in Stoneall and
King to land the nomination for

VINO Wishes Pre-. Sugar,

When the special committee Of the
house last year was investigating the
American Sugar Refining company.
Congressman Fordney put this ques-
ton TO Charles r. Heike. for thirteen
years secretary OF this company. the
alleged trust;
Nov, IL the duty were removed abso-
luiely from sugar. could we produce
either cane or beets IN this country?
Mr.. Heike's answer was:
I doubt II very much.
Mr.. Foriney-Then ,hat-free sugar
would destroy absolutely the industry In
this eountry7
Mr.. Heike-Yea.
Mr.. Foriney-And you would approve
Of THAR
Mr.. Heike-Yes.
In this same hearing. Congressman
Kinds asked Claus A. spreckles. the
sugar king, this question:
In other words. perhaps. you would
take the tariff all off Of sugar. would
you not, and have free trade.
Mr.. spreckles-I would have tree trade.
The record OF this hearing should
make very interesting reading for
Chairman Underwood. as he urges
the democratic bill for free sugar on
the ground that It will deal a blow
to the trust and benefit the small
producer and consumer. Down in
New Orleans the other day a mass
meeting, which the PIcayune says.
comprised ''all elements Of the COM
munity, packed a large hall to pro-
test against the Underwood bill. on
the ground that. IL passed. 1t would
destroy the sugar business Of that
state. which constituted 40 per cent
OF It's agricultural production. Surely
there can be no politics in LouIsiana's
fight with the Alabama congressman
and his democratic colleagues.
Who. then. wishes the tariff re-
moved from sugar? Not the cane
growers of the south. says the New
Orleans Picayune. Not the beet grow
ers Of the west. says the Denver Re-

publican. They, too. would suffer.
All, here is the answer In this house
record OF last year:
Il do" says Claus Spreckles, and
Il DO" says Charles r. Heike.
Does the consumer Of sugar think
that Messrs- spreckles and Heike
wish the tariff removed from sugar
in order that they, out Of the good
ness Of their hearts, might reduce
the price Of sugar?
Chairman Underwood has a sweet
mess on his hands In promulgating
his presidential campaign on a free
sugar platform.

The penitsntiary's Weak Spot.

Governor Aldrieh has made publIS
In considerable detail his observa-
tons on penitentiary conditions with
suggestion Of desired change and i'm
provements. In this practically all
his attention IL directed to what may
be termed the physical plant at the
prison The need Of separate resi-
denee and office for the warden. Of q
modern gate and pen for loading and
unloading supplies. Of rearrangement
OF the doors and locks, Of additional
cell room. and more particularly an
intermediate reformatory for the con
finement Of first offenders who hold
out reasonable promise Of redemp-
ton.
The need Of more up-to-date prison
equipment. and OF separate and DIFF
ferent treatment Of the accidental or
occasional as distinguished from the
professional crook. are doubtless in
point, but the governor overlooks one
weak spot which, II seems to US,
should have first attention. Al the
Nebraska penitentiary the prison
guards are paid the nunificent sal
aries OF s45 month, with lodging
and board, that might make the total
compensation equal 10 $50 or ,s6 on
the outside. For this they are in
yited to take their lives in their
hands every minute they are on duty.
and TO subject themselves TO q dis
eipline not much different from that
Of the TRUSTEES.
The practical impossibility Of get
ting and keeping desirable guards at
this price is seii-evident. The guards
at the penitentiary. we are informed,
are mostly boys off the farm or men
down and out. Departing Of earning
more in any other occupation. The
guard with even slight ambition. or
fair ability. does not stay long. and
the others frequently fail to with
stand the temptation the prison puts
before them.
II seems to us the real demand at
the penitentiary Is for deputies and
guards who can handle the prisoners
humanity. yet firmly. and exercise
good common sense In emergencies.
Il will take more money than s45 a
month to man the psnitentiary with
the right kind OF prison authorities
