SHALL COLORADO CONTINUE
TO PRODUCE BEET SUGAR?

A knowledge of the Importance ol
the sugar beet industry is SO limited
as to render the misstatements and
cI: ors promulgated in these days OF
political unrest, source of real alarm
tc those who are making, in our state
O. home for selves and children.
That truth is slower than error, is
| illustrated in the current pronounce.
! ments of ambitious and occasionally
uninformed candidates for offices
which are. to be filled November 5th,
by the votes of their fellow citizens.
Colorado. with 10000 acres of sug-
ar beets, will harvest this season ! :
100000 tons of beets, for which the II
factories will pay the growers $10,-
100000. Before the seed was in the
ground, the growers contracted for the
price. and confidently counted upon
receiving the cash, as they do, upon
delivery; with no other crop can such
ttItainties as price and payment be
arranged.
Fer harvesting this seasons crop.
field labor will receive $4,000 900, and
factory labor $1,9O0,00O. The Great
Western Sugar company alone, will
use this season 100000 tons of COAL
all mined by union labor. 1000 far
mers, 10000 field hands (during the
season. and 4 300 laborers will be en-
gagged in the industry.
Colorado can ill afford to hinder or
amper the industry; a removal of the
tariff on sugar will accomplish it's de-
structiOn. 1t needs no great thinking
tu realize that with cane sugar laid
at our doors at a price less than 1t
ttsts to make beet sugar. beet sugar
would have no buyers, consequently
ut growers, and no factories.
Only the action of congress. with
whom rests the ultimate Legislation
that will protect of fail to protect our
'l.Gustry, is determinative.
The house of representatives has
declared for non-protection. The SEN
ate as a very small majority of pro
tectionists. Colorado needs reinforce
this majority by sending, on the fifth
of November next, only men who are
pronouncedly in favor of protecting
the industry of the state by tariff
equal to the difference of cost at
home and abroad.
Why protection is needed is demon
strated by labor cost. We can produce
sugar at as low a cost as any other
country when we pay the price they
pay for labor. Frances average daily
wage for men in beet sugar factories
is "a cents. Cuba pays for factory and
field labor 10 cents an hour. Java
pays daily wage of IL cents.
The 25 900 laborers in the seventy
one factories in the United States
should receive more than the wage OIL
Europe, "a cents day.
The cost of producing refined sugar
in Germany is $2.25 per hundred lbs
the average daily wage rate in the
beet fields for men is "a cents. for
women 26 cents, for children % cents.
With this low cost, high protective
tariff is maintained in order to bar
cane sugar from importation, Germany

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

Mr.. Jacobs who is soon to leave our
week During his residence here he
gave several talks to the high school
which were always appreciated
Thursday morning Mr.. Mccarthy
gave an interesting talk to the high
school on the subject of athletics.
The high school enrolment for the
first month was 175, which is less
than a year ago. The senior class
shows an increase of 3 over last year
the junior classs an INCREASE of 6; the
second year decrease of A. the first
year a decrease of 9.
The Misses Evelyn and Frances
Charvoz enrolled Tuesday as juniors.
They come from the high school at
Bartlesville, Oklahoma
Monday, Miss Jewell OF Denver ad-
dressed the high school, A point in
her talk which she emphasized especi-
ally was the effect of alcohol and tob-
acco on the efficiency of a person.
The lecture given by Mr.. Orr Friday
evening was well attended. The pic
lures were very good but the lecturer
lacked the power of explaining them
in an interesting manner
At the close of the first month the
school spirit and the general work
have been such as to promise an es-
pecially good year for the high school.
Although no games with other schools
have been scheduled, interest is be-
ing taken in athletics. thus proving

Oyster Bay. l.. l., Jan. GZAftef | talk in New York with James k. Garfield, eX-secratary of tue interior and a leader of the Republican Pro- gressives of Ohio. ExPresidens Roose welt returned 10 Oyster Bay tonight Col. Roosevelt had just oRe thing -a say. It was that he had no lnten- tion 10 letting the public know what he thinks about the selection of Republican candidate for the .t.~. dency. He declared his intention of bottling himself up at Sasamore Hili and refusing to answer any qu stions.
 Does that mean that your attitude the Republican convention is held?' he was asked.
 He refused to commit himself OH that point, merely saying that as far ahead as he could see, he would make no public expression of his position.
 Hid in a Club.
 MT. Garfield's journey to New York, at this time, was regarded as signific- ant because 1t followed so closely the convention of Ohio Republican Pre- gressives. He was credited with hav- ing taken leading part in dissuad- ing the convention from endorsing Senator LaFolfette for the presidency.
 Neither Col. Roosevelt nor MT. Gar field would say word in regard to their conference.
 When Col. Roosevelt emerged from hjs club to so to his train he found squad of interviewers and photo g"aphers waiting.
 The colonel was not at all pleased. He said 1t was most offensive to be followed to private clubs" and that he regarded it. ss "an outrage"
 Mike, He Called, Too.
 Cal. Roosevelt saw many visitors at his office today, but declined to say who they were, explaining thst some of them did not like to have their names appear in prin+. One of them was Mike" Donovan. an aHhl j. tic trainer who used to 50 to Wash ington to box with Roosevelt when he was president.
 A bitter wind was tearing across the bay when Roosevelt returned to- night and started on the lonely three-mile drive from the station rs his home. AS he aMghted from the train he said he wished to make 1t clear that he could see no Interview CTS at Sagamore Hill. So many of them wanted to see him, he said, that if he granted their requests he would have no time for himself. Then he bundled himself up in biz fur coat, entered his automobile. and was dri- ven off.

 Moines2 magnificent new city hall was dedicated and formally opened January l, 1912. By experts this building is pronounced the most practical, at the same time the most elaborate municipal building ia tie United States. It is #.he first build ing. built for transaction of business under the famoHs commission form, Or "Des Moines Plan'' of city gov ernment. The designers had in mind, first, facilitation of busYaess; sec ond, appearance; and Iii both re- spects, the building comes up to re- qu rements as pictured in the imag- iuation. On January 1, there wifi be a big civic celebration in Des Moines, when people of all classes will collaborate in a mammoth cele- bratiOa. While Des Moines has been under the commission system of gov ernment for nearly four years. the dedication, in a sense, will mark a historical epoch in the capitol city s deve1opment. When it abandons the old, inadequate. unsightly, trembling building of days smelltag of graft and sensation. the city win bury its municipal past and eneer an era Of promise and hope.
 The new municipal building Is sit- uated on the east bank of the Des Moines river, holding q promineat place fin the rapidly developing "civ- tc" cenber. Built of beautiful Bed ford stone, the structure is q picture of architectural excellence. WKhin it's shadows are two artitic. digndfied melan arch bridges. Nearby is the handsome federa1 postoffice building. the imposing coliseum, the stately library. The city haN was needed ito complete the artists picture. He had the background, the towering capitol, aad all that Is lacking Is the careful parking, inexpensive touch- ing here and there, perhaps mon~ ument or two, perhaps another bailding, and the picture is complete.
 Three features stand out:
 l. The building is constructed especially for the transaction of af- fairs under the business-like com missioa system.
 2. The building has architectural excellence and preciseness in con- struction.
 3. The cost, unlike most public buildings. Is within the amount au- 'fhorized by the people.
