county close to Cheyenne Wells that
has been dry for the last four years,
and today their taxes are not as high
as here. and they pay their obliga-
tiOns in checks, not in county warrants
and then have to stand a discount, be-
cause the county is in debt. Then if
there were no saloons in the state it
would not be long until every county
would be out of debt, and tho Tourists
coming from the East would spend
their money here, just the same, for
something that would do them more
good. The breweries are working
hard and spending large amounts of

hibitiun in this state. and to help make
beggars and drunkards Of ur .itizens,
they do not care how much misery and
sorrow they cause the laboring class

they are after. If one does get intoX-

they allow them to be taken to Jail and

ing TO the statement the Gfeat
Western received from 81 so to
$4.75 per hundred for its sugar
prior to the declaration of war
After>the declaration of war
it is fair to persume that it got
from Sc. so to$7. so per hundred
and thes are the prices it will re-
ceive for the sugar it produces
from this years crop of beets.
WHAT 81 SUGAR MEANS.
Did you ever stop to figure
what 81 sugar means to tn e
Sugar trust?
A ton of Is per cent beets will
produce 28O pounds of sugar.
At seven certs pound this
sugar will net the sugar company
$3.50. In addition, the COM
pany will get the by-products,
we will say nothing about that
detail.
The factory will pay the farm
er SIS SO for the beets and expend
about 50 so for extracting and
packing the sugar.
1t therefor will cost the factory
So to produce the sugar which it
will sell for SO. go. The net prof
it per ton of beets will be Sill. go
If the factory has capadity
of 1. 600 tons per day and runs
100 days it will clean up the tidy
sum Of 81. 16O, 600, or. considera-
bly, more than the total cost of
constructing and equipping the
factory.
These figures reveal what tiny
sop" the Great Western tossed
to the beet-growers when it was
goaded into action by public
opinion aroused by the Demo-
cratic platform declaration. But
suppose the Great Western were
compelled to sell it's, 1914 sugar
at the prices prevailing before
the war $3.50 to- $4.75- how
would the balance sheet look?
We will give the company the
benefit of the lower figure-$4 SO
for 100 pounds of sugar-and then
we will find that the sugar in a
ton of Is per beets would bring
the factory $12 60 Without re-
ducing the price paid the farmer
the company would make net
profit of 81 so on every ton of
beets it handled-plus the hand
some sum it secured from the
by-products.
This would be sufficient to pay
twenty per. cent dividend on the
capital invested.

Congressman-at-Lnrge
From Colorado.
From Colorado.

hear or the great IleduSIS . VI OS''O
cracy. Bryan has already prom
ised to swing through the Ark
ansas Valley and Northern Colo.
and he may be followed by Sec
.retary Lane. Speaker Clark, Vice
President Marshall, and other
national figures.
Colorado. however, is consider
ed pretty "safe" this year and
some of these big guns" may
be shifted to more doubtful ter
ritory.
Their presence in the campaign
serves to empathize the fact that
the Republican party is without
leaders.
At least, our Standpat friends
have no leaders whom they would
care to exhibit to the public.
Of course, thereis 'Uncle Joe"
Canon, and Senator Penrose and
Boss Barnes. Aldrichis is stillalive
the other day I saw his name in
a list of arrivals from Europe
and William H. Taft contributes
an occasinal article to a maga-
zine.
If these men are not the lead
ers of the Republican party, who
has a right to lay claim to that
distinction?
Does any one doubt that Cam
on and Penrose and Barnes
would" manage the show II the
Standpatters were returned to
power? ....
Being the leaders why are
they compelled to remain in the
back grounds? Why not hire a
few special trains and send them
around the country and give
them an opportunity to tell just
how they would run the govern
ment if they were in control of
things?
The Democracy proudly par
ad.s it's .Cheiftains so they may
be known of allmen. The Stand
patters dare not bill their leaders
in a single doubtful state.
The reason for this extraortl-
nary conduct is not far to seek:
The Standpatters know their
leaders are despised and discred-
lted, while the Democrats know
that their leaders command the
confidence of the people. Can
non, Penruse, Barnes, Wilson,,
Bryan, Clark. What a contrast
SOME SUGAR PROFITS.
= The Great Western Sugar COM
pany has been compelled to make
some concessions to the beet
growers. The Democrats OF
Colorado. pointed out in their
state platform that the farmers
had a right to demand a share OF
the sharp advance in sugar which
followed the outbreak OF the
European war.
THIS suggestion met with such
widespread approval, that the
Great Western was compelled tc
restore the price of beets. to the
figures prevailing in 1913. The
Company at the beginning of'the
session of 1914 had the price fifty
cents a ton on the plea that the
underwood bill had curtailed its
profits,
That this reduction was no
justified is amply demonstrat
ed by the Great Westerns sworl
statement recently filed with tn
department of Justice. Accord

National Bank, has or has had as
stockholders the following big politi-
clans:

van, Roy o. West, B. A. Eckhart, John

D. E. Shanahan, ]. J. Elias.
Flynn also admitted the following:
The city has no surety bonds insur-
ing safety Of school funds. Such
bonds are approved and held by treas
urer himself.
The Southwest has nearer its legal
share of city funds than several 9TH
ers of it's class.
The Garfield Park State Savings,
Lake View Trust and Savings, and
State Bank of Italy, which pay 21a
per cent interest, had only 20 per cent
or less than legal portion while other
banks paying only "a per cent had
40 per cent or more of their legal
share on same date.
Flynn also said that Alderman
Frank Klaus, Irwin Hazen and Theo-
dore K. Long had tried to influence
him in the choice of certain banks.
He said that Klaus came to him
early in January and tried to get him
to deposit into each of two banks
he favored.
Flynn said Aid. Long came to him
and told him he was interested in
the Roseland State Bank and the
Pullman Loan and Savings Bank and
that he told Flynn not to forget those
banks.
