A NEW ELEMENT IN SUFFRAGE.

A NEW ELHNNGNA AZ
IT. as is not impossible, the next
presidential election should be de-
cided by the votes of women, how
long would it be before their sisters
further east would demand the bal
lot? Seward and Lincoln were FOND
Of say,ag that this country could
not permanently endure half slave
and half free, and the prophecy has
been amply upheld not only by the
arbitrament of war but by the COM
mon sense of the nation. Without
drawing a parallel between slavery
and the refusal to allow women to
vote. 1t may be said that the present
condition as regards women and the
franchise will not be permanent. the
atates which have enfranchised wo-
men are not likely to disfranchise
them. and in the nature Of things
the movement will gradually spread
to states which have never seriously
considered the question. Simple Jus
tice win demand that If the women
of the Pacific slope are allowed tc
vote in national elections, the same
privilege shall be accorded the SCI

SHERIFF TO DEFEND FLAG
Will Attend I. w. w. Meeting in
Union Square.

Sheriff julius Hamburger had blood in his
eye yesterday. That was due TO cold that
caused his right eye to become bloodshot.
Metaphorically. the chief peace officer OF
the County OF New York had blood in both
eyes and that does not augur well for
the members of the Industrial Workers of
the World. for the eyes Of the Sheriff are
on them and they would better beware ere
they carry out the threat of their local
secretary that at their meeting tomorrow
In Union Square they will treat the Ameri-
can flag they please.
Sheriff hamburger began his campaign
against the decorators of the flag after the
insult offered on May Day. But he has
done this I'm his capacity OF julius Har-
burger, citizen. The first opportunity 10
take official Cognizance of the situation has
come with the meeting tomorrow. Sherif
Hamburger had Albert Blumenstiel, OF
Sherff's counsel, look up the law for him,
-and II was decided that section 1875 OF the
penal law fits the case fully. That sec
ton provides fine OF 500 or Imprisonment
for three months or both for any one who
tramples on the flag or holds il up to con-
tempt by word or act.
Park Commissioner Slower has given the
Industrial Workers a permit that entities
them to use the north end of Union Square
from II noon until o'clock. The Sheriff
and force OF fifty deputies and special
deputies will occupy places close 20 the
SPEAKERS stand, and woe unto him who
tries to place the American flag In con-
tempt or utter any seditious doctrine.
Il mean to put an end to these desecra-
tons of the flag in New York County and
also will put an end to all seditious talk in
public" said the Sheriff. Hereafter we
will attend every meeting where such
things are likely to happen.

WEST is SUGAR CENTRE NOW
Beet Production Exceeds South
ern Cane Crop.

MANY persons look upon Colorado as
primarily a mining state and may be sur
prised to know that her yield from agri-
culture chiefly from sugar is mucn
greater than from The mines.
a fact In connection with the sugar
growing Industry i'm this country which
will probably surprise most Fasteners is
that the West and Middle West now lack
only % per cent of producing twice as
much sugar AS the entire SOUTH said
G. G. Hamlin yesterday. Mr.. Hamlin Is
chairman of the executive committee OF
the United States sugar beet industry.
THE West" he continued. with a pro-
duction last year Of $4,000 tons OF beet
sugar against the south's S0S,oc tons W
cane sugar. furnished considerably more
than half the sugar grown In the United
States.
The growth Of the beet sugar industry
has played a highly important part in the
upbuilding OF the West. There are now in
operation seventy-two factories, represent
ing an investment OF more than tl00,Ooo, 900.
Western farmers last year harvested 49, 792
acres Of sugar beets upon the average of
lOl tons per acre. a total sold for not less
than s26.OOO.C0. Even these figures dwindle
10 lnsignihcance when 1t Is understood
that. as the Secretary of Agriculture has
pointed out. IT Is easily possible to grow
at home our entire supply OF sugar which
last year amounted To 3,35l.S9l tons, or
more than four times the amount OF sugar
grown in the United States at present.
Furthermore, We have gathered hun
dreds Of reports from farmers showing
that in rotation with Jhe sugar beet the
Yield In wheat is increased ~ per cent;
corn. 27.6 per cent; oats. iS1 per cent; bar
ley. s. per cent. and potatoes, % per cent.
