the steel trust but 1t thinks that
Gary works must be considered a
pretty good proposition when J. p.
Morgan will start to loan 100000
on 1t. Inasmuch as $25,000,000 of
this sum must be used for new ex-
tensions at Gary 1t certainly follows
that great benefits will be derived
for there will be hundreds of more
big jobs to be filled.
An furthermore, just what connec-
ton there is between a bond issue
and man having to work all the
harder is beyond our comprehension.
There is not big corporation In the
country that does not have oustand-
ing bond issues
The Daily World. or the Socialist
as II used to be known, has from
time to time attacked Gary going so
far as to refer to the men employed
in the mills as slaves. There are no
slaves in Gary and its success Is due
to the lack of wild-eyed individuals
such as conduct the Daily World.

MAKES THE PEOPLE THINK.

It is related that when President
Vail of the American Telephone and
Telegraph Company announced that
he intended to spend $25o.000 in an
advertising campaign some of his di-
rectors objected and said: Why.
everybody knows about the telc-
phone
To this Mr.. Vail replied: Every
body knows about it, yes; but every
body doesn't think about IT." He
spent the $250.o00 and the com
pany's gross business increased
$750,000 that year
There is world of significance In
that little anecdote and It is all the
more valuable because of the magni-
tude of the corporation concerning
which 1T Is told. No business is so
large that, If it is an honorable and
meritorious affair. 1t won't be bene-
fitted by having the attention of the
great public directed to 1t. and new
thoughts stirred up about il.
Nothing SO focuses public atten-
ton as that which is represented to
1t every day in constantly varying
forms. And this can be done only by
the daily paper.-Philadelp Rec

features which are decidedly worth
while
In 1899 the sugar beet crop was
grown on 135. 200 acres. nj 1904 1t
used 100000 acres. In 1909 the
acreage had increased to $4,000
acres. That was the year covered by
the latest census. In the same
periods the tons OF beets harvested
had increased from $4,000 to O.
$4,000 and then to 3,965,00O.
Meanwhile the price of the beets per
ton increased SO per cent and the
gross revenue per acre had risen 100
per cent to $57. which is very
handsome return from farm land. In
ten years the sum paid to growers
for sugar beets rose from $3,485,32O
to 23.791.000, gain of $50 per cent.
Needless to say, the manufacture
of beet sugar showed corresponding
expansion but the agricultural side
OF the industry is enough in itself to
prove that 1t has made good" There
are lively times ahead for any party
or interest which may try to uproot
the sugar beet In the United States.

AS permanent chairman of the dem

delivered some body blows to the op-
position forces. He arraigned the re-

to legislate in the interest of the
masses.

of the permanent chairman:

hurled by one fellow democrat TO an
