CARL SCHURZ.

Carl Schurz, whose monument mas
lust been unveiled in New York, had
a career of remarkable brilliance
and interest. The story Of his part
in the German revolution Of 1S4S,
which collapsed so ingloriously, is
so full of adventure that it might
have preluded the life OF soldier
of fortune.
But Schurz had better stuff in him
than that which makes the mere
lover of excitement and battle. He
loved liberty, order and progress.
Fortune sent him to America follow
ing his escape from Germany and he
rapidly gained a place of influence
among the German people of this
country. Through his eloQuence as
a writer and speaker he came to lead
the German-Americans in the per-
iod preceding the civil war and rap
idly attained national distinction. He
was friend and adviser Of Lincoln;
attained the rank of Major General
in the army, served as minister to
Spain in the civil war period and be-
came senator from Missouri.
At various time he was editor OF
newspapers in St. Louis, Milwaukee,
Detroit and New York. He served
in the cabinet under President
Hayes, and as the problems of the
war period disappeared he launched
into the battle against corruption in
politics with al the fervor OF the
idealist and enthusiast that he was.
He was not the kind of patriot
who fights corruption in the party to
which he does not belong. Republic
can bargainers in patronage, privi-
lege and pelf hated him. Passing
from the stage of active politics he
came to a period of serene old age
in which he summed up the events
of his life in an autobiography which
has the Importance of history and
the interest of romance. His fiery
Impotence of wrong and his ideal
ism may have limited the influence
of Carl Schurz as a statesman, but
no compromise with evil ever sullied
his name.-St. Louis Republic.

A TARIFF NURSED INVALID.

The Underwood bill proposes to
reduce existing sugar duties rs per
cent, and to make sugar free May l.,
1916.
Two kinds of sugar are made IN
this country: the cane sugar OF Lou
isiana and the beet sugar of several
western and northern states.
Beet sugar is natural product or
the United States. We have the soil;
we have the sunshine; we have the
skill. No other ingredients are nee
esssary to produce beet sugar.
Whether the tariff wind blows high
or low it will continue to be made IN
these United States.
Cane sugar is not natural pro-
duct of that part Of North America
lying above the Gulf of Mexico. OW-
ing to the shortness of the Louisiana
season and the GOODNESS OF the soil,
as compared with those regions
where cane is indigenous, but one
third as much sugar may be produc-
ed from an acre of ground as in the
West Indies. There cane is planted
once in eight years, in LOUISIANA
once in three years.
the cane sugar business is-and
has been for century, tariff
nursed invalid. 1t will never be any
better for the American climate is
the wrong one for this particular
sick man to get we'll in.
Now the democracy holds that
there is no reason why every break
fast table, dinner table and supper
table in the country should be taxed
simply to enable a few hundred sug-
ar planters to follow business that
their lands are not adapted to. And
it proposes to put stop to this
monstrous exercise of privilege. But
in view of the investment of capital
in the business and the time ele-
ment involved in any industrial re.
organization the Underwood bill
makes a Is per cent reduction only
in the sugar tax and provides for
free sugar after May, 1, 1916-three
years hence.
The party position on the sugar
question needs no champion, it hard
" needs discussion. It's best defense
is a simple statement of the bare
facts concerning the industry and
the provisions of the pending BILL

the political conditions which maze

the last election.
AS one very practical leader OF tue

times to the welfare of the people
and the continuing of the prosperity

country.
That sense of a critical political
situation, that knowledge that ne

November through the division OF
the opposition, which prompted the
president to warn his past associates
in New Jersey of danger IT they ola

Two years run rapidly in the
course of a nation, and when NOVem-
her, 1914, arrives the country Will

the national house of representatives
and probably upon one-third OF the
membership of the senate.

al, can be largely Determined ny

The responsibility does not all lie

in his addresses there, the president

CERTIFICATES OF CHARACTER.

Guthrie county men dragged a
highway across the county in an
hour and a half the other day. The
dragging bee had been arranged for
and was pulled off on schedule. 1t
reminds of story told by Jim Fisk,
one of the earlier magnates and mil
lionaires. He was the son shreWd
old New England farmer. One day
the old man told little Jim that if he
would clean the stables well he
would pay him a gold dollar for the
service. Jim, with the golden award
in sight tugged and strained and
finished the stable on time. His
father gave him the dollar. Then he
said: James, if you can clean the
stables for one day for dollar you
can clean them every day as duty
And thereafter James cleaned the
stables.
If Guthrie county, and other coun.
ties, can drag the principal highways
of the county in an hour and hall
with a hurrah and to show what car
be done they can drag the principa
roads after rain as duty. An ar
rangement so successful as this
should suggest a permanent system

road draggers turned to survey their
completed work ought to teach them

cents a mile it should be done any.

congruous. The town can not afforC
