THE DEFEAT OF THE INIFIA-
TIVE AND REFERENDUM.

Some republican newspapers are
trying to explain" that the republi.
can party is not responsible for the
defeat of the initiative and referen
dunn. An early start of these eek
plantations" is advisable as II viii re-
quire more time than intervenes be-
fore the next campaign for the repub.
licans TO present any convincing ar.
gument in their explanation.
The progressive party, as represent.
ed in the general assembly. made such
an enviable record for positive sup,
port of the initiative and referendum,
while the republican party was max
ing such an unenviable record OF
opposition to this reform demanded
by the people, amalgamation of tbs
two parties is absolutely impossible Il
principle is to be a consideration.
The more the republicans explain
the more explaining" to the people
do they make necessary.
While some republicans are size
stepping responsibility others are
Boosting that they defeated the 81 anC
R."
Wouldn't It be well for republicans
to get together among themselves be
fore trying to amalgamate with some
other party?

The Demidorf case in Russia many
years ago excited great deal of atten-
ton there, though interest in II was
confined to the aristocracy. The Demi-
dorf estate had been in litigation for
years. and Count Alexis Demidorf. who
was In possession. had been beaten in
the court of last appeal. Peter lvano-.
vicb. the representative of another
branch of the family. had won the
property and was waiting for Demidorf
to move out of the paternal mansion in
order to move in his own effects.
Count DemidOrf had packed his per-
sonal belongings, had discharged all his
servants and had brought what money
he had to his library to take with him
in his exile from the home of his fore
fathers. The new incumbent drove up
In his carriage and went into the house.
In a few minutes Demidorf, looking

The coachman waited an hour for his

He found Peter Ivanovich lying on

Notwithstanding that If Alexis Demi-
dorf had not murdered the man who
had Supplanted him he must have
known that he would be accused, but
he made no attempt to escape. When
he was arrested he showed great sur
prise that Ivanovich should have died
so soon after he had left him. He told
his story apparently with candor.
Ivanovich. he said. had found him in
his library putting in his pocket some

The greatest lobby ever known in
Washington is now being financed by
the beet sugar manufacturers. Money
is being spent like water, and the
senate investigation has shown a
scandalous misuse of publicity and the
postal franks of certain special priv
i,ege senators. If money can do it,
this lobby will defeat free sugar, not
because the industry faces ruin, but
because the sugar barons wish to con
tinue to pay enormous dividends in
the worst watered industry in the
United States. The high sugar duties
of the successive Dingley and Payne
tariffs have made possible an over
capitalization in this industry without
parallel in American financial history.
The total capitalization of all the
beet sugar companies is $141 100000.
The industry is peculiar in that it is
possible to estimate very closely the
actual cost of building factories. 1t
has been worked out that it costs 10
build factory $1,000 for each ton Of
beets TO be consumed by the factory
per day. Thus a mill with 100 tons
of beet capacity per day costs $780,
600.
Now the total daily capacity of all

Everything is looking bad today;
There's not a sign of good cheer any

The clouds that keep the sunlight out are
gray,
Before me yawns the black gulf of
despair.

My dearest plans lie in jumbled heap:
l hear no friend call out a cheering
Hail
Before me lies gulf. uncharted, deep!
I've tried with all my might and all my
heart,
But I have gained no profit. won no
praise;
Ny part has been a poor and thankless
part.
Beside a cherries gulf I pause and
gaze.
All. but tomorrow! It is yet to dawn,
And who knows what fair favors It
may bring?
Tomorrow thS gray clouds may all be
And life once more may be a precious

How few among US. when gray days ar

When boundless CULTS before US darkly

Would have the courage still to live and

But for the hope, tomorrow sends

Recent advertisement by the United
States forestry bureau OF 245,00o,000
feet OF standing timber to be cut in

ton OF the extent TO which the federal

ment in forests. Within the last three

the beet sugar factories in America
is $3.50 tons, showing that the total
actual investment Is rot over $780,
600. Indeed, the Hardwick sugar COM
mittee estimated the actual invest
s60,712. 900.
Thus. of the beet sugar capitaliza-
ton, from IS to so millions OF dollars
is pure water, or 81 per cent j. Pier
pont Morgan in his prime never pour
ed water into stocks at this rate.
Even the steel trust achievement
could not equa- it.
Some Of the individual companies
exceed even this figure The Great
Western Sugar company, capitalized
/ at S30,000,0O is worth S10,600,000.
The American Beet Sugar company,
with S20,000,000 capitalization, repre-
! sents an investment Of S5,300,000
! The plants OF the Michigan Sugar COM
! pany which issued over S11,000,00O
capital stock, can be duplicated foE
| S5,45O,O00.
But in spite of these fictitious valu.
ations, the sugar companies have bean
able to pay high dividends on all
their capital stock The sugar inves
tigation showed that the Great West
ern Sugar company, besides paying
per cent dividends on its preferred
stock, and 5 per cent on common
amassed a surplus of 100000 in five
years, making an annual net profit or
actual investment of SO per cent or 8;
per cent in five years. This company
actually had to Jungle its figures tc
keep down dividends on stock ovel
half OF which was water.
The American Beet Sugar company
!, made S9,600,000 on an actual invest
ment Of $5,300,000 in seven years. The
, Michigan Sugar company paid back il
= four years every dollar of real money
!. invested in it.
The great crime of modern finance
. is overcapitalization. A charter grant
ed TO a watered concern is simply {
; charter to rob the poor and helpless
, for either prices must be raised TO al
unnatural level or wages must be re
, duced. The beet sugar industry i
: one Of the worst of offenders, yet it

FOUND PETER IvANOVICH LYING ON THE
FLOOR DEAD.
was not included in the amounts that
the court had decided went with the
estate. Stung at this meanness on the
part of the man who had taken for
tune from him. he had thrown the
money on the table. telling his sup
planter to take it. since he had taken
the rest. and go to the devil with it.
The money had disappeared, all ex,
cept one piece of gold that was found
on the floor under n lounge. Demidorf
said that he had thrown the coins
down on the table, indignant. and re-
membered hearing one piece fall on
the GoOr and roll away.
Were it not that the motive for the
murder was so strong against Demi-
dorf this explanation might have had
weight. But in the first place. if Ivan
ovich were dead the estate would go
back to Demidorf. In the second, it
was considered quite likely that Demi-
dorf had killed Ivanovich in fit Of
passion.
There was another matter that some
considered an incentive for DemidOrf
to commit the murder. He loved Olga
Massielevna. girl who had by inherit
lance an interest in the estate which
could best be served by her marry
ing the owner. A love match had
been arranged between Count Alexis
and Olga. which must be broken with
the loss of the estate. Indeed. the
girls parents had withdrawn their con-
sent to her marrying Demidorf and
had accepted n proposal for her hand
from Iyanovich.
The power of parents in Russia over
their children is now considerable, but
It was then even greater. Olga was
forced to assent to the breaking off
with one lover and a new engagement
with the man who had supplanted
him. Her parents believed IN Demi
! DORIS guilt She had implicit faith in
! his innocence.
The prisoners lawyer while hunting
for some person other than his client
who had a motive for committing the
murder learned that the count while
trying to raise money with which to
carry on his lawsuit had become large
| ~ in debt. One of his creditors had
| pressed him sorely. showing great
eagerness to secure payment of his
claim before his debtor should lose the
| property. TIE defendants counsel
framed theory that this man Petrol
/ had gone to see Count DeLnidorf TO en-
! deavor to collect his debt on the very
| day the latter was to turn over hi:
| estate; that he was in the house wheI
/ Ivanoylch entered and. after Demi
DORIS departure. going into the room
where the two had met had found
ivanovich with the money. Petrol
had claimed it and in the alteration
that followed had killed Iyanovich
though probably unintentionally.
This theory was considered ingen
ious. but improbable. 1t was simply
theory and counted for very littI'
! against the great inducements that had
impelled Demidorf to get rid of thl
victim. VrOnsky. the lawyer who had
J conceived the hypothesis, made ever
