Stand Up MIR. Stewart

We have received circular
from one. p B. Stewart of Colo
RADIO Springs. asking us to answer
certain questions with regard to
republican policy dumng the COM
ing campaign. MIR. Stewart makes
no statement as to his politics and
by what right he is inquiring the
actions of republicans.
Before answering we ask Mr..
Stewart to answer just one Ques-
tion straight off the bat like a
man. Are you a Republican?
Your press bureau announced
two weeks ago that you had gone
down to Chicago to get first hand
information as to the situation and
that you would be heard from on
your return. Now let us hear from
you. Tell the people where you
answer your questions. Otherwise
you are open to the suspicion that
you are trying through underhand-
ed methods to get information that
you may use for your own benefit
and to double cross your friends
that may answer,
You are too wealthy Mr.. Stew
art to need the salary OF governor
and you cannot afford to sacrifice
your manhood for what honor there
is left in the Job since "honest-
john" has held II four years. So
come out like . man and tell the
people where you stand and what
you are.
This IL no time for trimming or
trading to try to get an underhand
political advantage. II is a time to
stand up and be counted for that
which you believe In. II you are
afraid to stand up 1t shows that
you are either ashamed OF your
position or else you are trying to
trick the people into giving you
an office.
Be man and come out in the
open.

Until Roosevelt came into the

publican party. 1t was based up
on clearly defined principles. II

of modern political thought on fun

sumed national proportions. 1t was

weeks carefully planning ''spon-

question naturally arises as 10
why We have not followed more
closely IN Europe's footsteps. douD-
led and produced all OF our sugar
at home. instead OF producing but
100000 tons OF beet sugar at home
and importing 100000 tons, the
equivalent of what Europe exports
after supplying her 10000, 900 in
habitants.
One OF the real virtues of the
sugar beet for US in rotation with
other crops. aside from the fact
that 1t can be grown profitably in
the great majority of the states
OF this country. Is that 1t is a great
normal school of agriculture. 1t
trains the Indifferent farmer to be
an expert farmer. because of the
fact that sugar beets form the on
ly important agricultural crop
which. unless the price per ton be
exceedingly high, refuses to return
profit or even expenses when
farmed In a slip-shOd manner. The
superior methods which the farm,
er is forced to apply to beet cul1
ture gradually are applied TO the
production of other crops and final
ly are adopted by the neighboring
farmers. even II they do not take up
the cultivation OF this particular
crop.
II believe. however. that the
American farmer is gradually awak
ening to the value of the methods
which have put Europe SO far
ahead of US in getting the great
est returns from the soil. The val
ue of crop rotation and the use Of
the beet is shown by the fact that

develop a silver lining. If 1t brings
our farmers to appreciate the need
of methods which will enable them
to work their land to its full eff

conserve it's future productiveness
There is no reason why we cannot
equal or surpass what Germany has
accomplished through the careful
application of crop rotation. Incl

class of prOgressives who wanted
to "win" not a real progressive vic
tory-just victory.
And they did win precisely that
kind of a victory. They carried
overwhelmingly the great standpat

la. No real progressive could have
secured anything like such a vote

would have compromised the pro-

having divided the progressives in

But the progressive movement
does not consist of a few self-con-

lions of thoughtful citizens drawn
together by a common belief in GER
tain principles. They will permit
no combination of special Interests
and political expediency to secure
control of the progressive cause
which is ultimately to redeem de-

Washington, Sept. 24.-Secretary
Fishers action last January, revoking
the order of former Indian Commits
sioner Valentine, barring religious

Taft, in an order made public here.
The decision of the president is that
teachers now employed in Indian
schools may continue to wear the garb
of their religious orders; but the privi-
lege is denied to any persons here
after entering the service. This rul-
Ing will enable the government to full
fill it's obligations, the president says,
