SUGAR INTERESTS ACTIVE.

The United States beet sugar interests
are Offering to newspapers free of
charge whole pages of illustrated plate
matter upon the cultivation of sugar
beets, The articles submitted to this
Office claim that the cultivation Of
sugar heets by new and proper methods
holds key of wealth for Wisconsin, but
each article contains n plea for retain
ing tariff taxes on sugar. They are
somewhat, if not altogether, in the
nature of paid political advertising /;
because by their publication the
publisher saves the price of other plates
which would cost him money.
The Democrat has often times been
requested to urge the farmers of this
section to engage in the culture of
sugar beets; and has as often refrained.
We understood that the beet sugar
industry of the country was largely
stimulated by the indirect bounty from
high import duties upon sugar, and
We're not fully convinced that sugar
beet cultivation would prove very pro
fitable We're this subsidy or bounty
withdrawn; whereas we had full con
fidence to firmly believe that the pros
perity of all the great industries OF
southwest Wisconsin, such rs dairying
meat raising, and mining, would be-
greatly advanced by reduction OF
unnecessary tariff taxation, The logic

HEROES.

The American people hold in
reserve Il tremendous amount of
character prepared for almost
any emergency. Sordid love of
money has not yet seriously af-
fected the deep, strong under
current of public virtue. Men
are better than we often admit.
In this great land of ours there
are nj this moment thousands
and eVcU hundreds of thousands
of heroes ready for an opportu-
nifty. for the opportunity makes
the hero The man who goes
down into the depths of his own
heart and examines his motives
and then puts away overwhclm-
ing tcmptation-that man is Il
moral hero. second to no hero of
smoke and battle The woman
who cudurcS day 10y day and
year 10y year sacrifice that daily
grows heavier rather than take
some easy way out of ii She is II
moral heroine, and of such there
are moro in this great land than
will ever be known. And ii is
this moral courage that will al
ways save this good land OF ours
"A courage that had its source
in the rcpugnant StCrnncSs of
our Revolutionary ancestors and
their lives Of daily sacrifice and
hardship. 1t was the thinking
bayouctS of the citizen Soldicry
and this iuvincihlr moral cour-
age that gave the United States
in all wars the best armies that
ever matched or fought. Though
decimalcd 10y disease and thin
ned hy slaughter, they never de-
SPARED. They fought for prin-
cipleS and to save the country.
and they saved the country. And
it is because of that moral and
physical courage that our glori-
Gus flag still floats over us today
with no star lost or dimmed.

A PROTEST.

The Democrat protests against the
action of certain Democratic editors in
Milwaukee last Saturday.
In response to special invitations
sent out on short notice they met to the
number of about thirty and organized
Wisconsin Democratic Press Assoca
ton. They adopted resolutions to be
telegraphed to President Wilson; but
voted down this manly and Democratic
declaration proposed by A. G. Bishop
of the Bloomington Record:
1--WE especially applaud your cour-
ageous stand on the tariff question"
The vote on this declaration must not
be allowed to stand AZ rejecting the
sentiment of the Democratic editors Of
Wisconsin. Because Of his well known
tariff views, and because it was known
that he would stand by his convictions
Mr.. Wilson early won the hearty sup
port of Democratic and Independent
newspaper editors. If they be men,
and men they are, they will stand by
him now in support of that most ex-
cellent administration measure, the
Underwood tariff bill.
While no special reason appeared for
the organization of Democratic state
press association, as was undertaken in
Milwaukee last week, there is now
good reason for calling the Democratic
and Independent editors together, to
voice a strong protest against misrep-
resentation. A meeting Of this nature
held in Milwaukee or Madison, would
we believe be largely attended, and
might accomplish good results.

MAKE THE CITY BEAUTIFUL.

1t can, and should be done. Mineral
Point il surrounded by beautiful natural
scenery. The city itself has very many
attractive features. BY proper action
on the part of it's citizens it can be made
place where visitors at all times will
like to come and where people will de-
light to dwell. The way in which this
can be accomplished is well told by the
editor OF the Chippewa Falls Indepen
dent who in the last issue of his paper
says
"Those piles of rubbish in the back
yard should either be burned or hauled
away. That loose board in the fence
should be repaired. The broken cement
block in the sidewalk should be replac
cd with II sound one. The dead limbs
should be removed from the trees and
as soon as the weather permits, lawns
should be plentifully sprinkled with
grass and clover seed. Flower beds
should be rearranged and in fact every
thing possible done to improve the ap.
pearance of yards in all parts of the
city. Property owners by exerting a
little effort now can pave the way for
vast improvements in the appearance of
their yards during the summer months,
Just get started and once you do it, it
will only require II little work once or
twice week to make every yard in the
city an attractive one. Above ALL don {
forget the back yard as it is that part
of your property which tells the story.
A well kept lawn in front of the house
can lose all its attractiveness If the yard
at the rear is left in an unsightly con
dition. Civic pride should be para.
mount ut all times ON the part of every
one and to attain that city beautitica-
ton is necessary"

of events which will follow the adOp
ton of the new tariff measure will
show that this confidence was well
founded.
1t is to be hoped that events will also
show that the great beet sugar industry
is both self sustaining and profitable.
The country awaits a speedy and
substantial reduction Of tlriff taxes.
That reduction has been well consider
ed. 1t ought not to be delayed.

MEASURE HELD OBJECTIONABLE

Japanese Government DispIeased by
Bill Likely to Pass California Leg

Land in Golden State.
Sacramento, Cal, April 16. - The
Bradford alien land bill, as a commit
tee measure, was passed by the as
sembly by 60 to 49, All attempts to
amend the measure so that it would
not be offensive to Japan failed At
tempts to amend it SO that it applied
only to aliens ineligible to citizenship
failed likewise.
Washington, April 16. - The anti
Japanese land legislation pending in
the legislature of California was dis
cussed by President Wilson and Wis.
count Chinda, the Japanese ambas-
sador. After leaving the White
House, Viscount Chinda went into
conference with Secretary of State
Bryan on the same subject
California Measure Objectionable.
The ambassadors visit was the
first communication the president or
Mr.. Bryan has had with him since he
was furnished copy of the final
draft of the alien land bill, which is
expected to pass the California SEN
ate at any hour. 1t is understood
that Viscount Chinda informed the

his government found the terms of
the measure highly Objectionable and
contrary to the interests of Japanese
subjects in California
Treaty Rights Conserved.
Friends of the pending bill main
treaty with the United States are
conserved and that the Japanese
government has no ground of COM
plant. The bill not only states that
the act shall not impair any treaty
rights, but also gives Japanese the
privilege of coming and leasing land.
The difficulty and the Japanese OBJ
jeCtions arise from the fact that the
term of ownership of land is limited
to one year and the term of leasing
land to three years and the privilege
| of renewing such leases or extending
it's term beyond three years is posi-
lively denied by the language of the
bill
The result of the conference be-
tween the president, Secretary Bryan
and the ambassador was not made
known.
President Sends Nominations.
Among the nominations sent to the
senate by President Wilson were:
Walter Hines Page of New York
to be ambassador extraordinary and
minister plenipotentiary to Great
Britain.
John A. Osborne of Wyoming, to
be assistant secretary of state.
William H. Osborn of North Caro-
lima, to be commissioner of internal
revenue.
The sending of DR.. Pages appoint
ment had waited merely upon receipt
of formal notice of acceptability
from the British foreign office. This
was received by the state department
and was Immediately communicated
to the White House. DR.. Page it is
understood. is arranging his affairs
