Never fear, Brother, that the sugar
trust will close their plants. Too
we'll, they know a good thing when
they have the secret knowledge of
the fabulous profits obtained, where
many millions are declared in divi-
dends in from ninety to one hundred
and twenty days. They may post
pone closing the contracts until near
ly time for planting, but they are too
wise to let such an easy way of
accommodating millions slip through
their honest fingers.

The Colorado beet growers have re-
fused to accept the sugar trusts
schedule for this years beet crop.
The trust will not raise the price
and the growers will not raise the
bitrate." The rancher will use his
land for other crops. The trust will
close its plants-so it says. Here's
one case where the producer has the
last say.-Fremont County Leader.

Preventing Family Bidding.

Preventing Family Bidding.
Another excellent thing accom-
plished. with the aid Of the company,
is the prevention OF contemplating
among the cities for factory. 1t is
utterly useless for the cities OF the
power zone to bid up bonus to get
factories to come to the Mississippi
river power.
THE days when factory owners
held an auction and promised to go
to the city offering the biggest bonus
are about past. The best class Of
manufacturers are not influenced by
such offers. Every city in the pow.
er zone has advantages which make
this old practice unnecessary. The
advantages vary, and each will get the
factory which it best suits by its
peculiar characteristics.
There will be plenty to go around
before all the power generated by the
Mississippi River Power company is
used up-but the completion of this
work of city building will not be
reached for some years"

met This cabinet. 1t was said, OPP
posed the very things that President
Poincare stood for. In the light of
his Lyons speech, his attitud grant
ed that the report conc srning the diff
ferences between president and cabl-
net were true-is easily understood:
The people, not he, were respon-
sible for the Doumergue cabinet. and
it was not for him to object. He would
give his advice, and he would arbi-
trate In the lawmakers disputes al

far as he could go. If a cabinet Is
not wanted, a minority vote In the

the offending ministers.
To the impartial observer the only
means of bringing about the resigna-
ton of President Poincare would. be
to prove to him that he can be only
a figure-head in national affairs and
that his hands are tied in SO far as
any good he might wish to do the
country is concerned. He Is said not
to be Of this belief and his friends
declare this his discussion of what he
considers to be the duties Of the

gave him no power. Though Presi-

President Poincare by his own state

act and to influence legislation. These
who know him say he will use his in

through that body an endorsement of

by William Philip Simms, Paris Cor
respondent OF the United Press.]
PARIS, June 20.-Pr ssident Ray
mond Poincare has no intention OF re-
signing from office in spite OF the
more or less frequent rumors to the
contrary. He has indicated as much
himself. Prior to the last elections
on May 10, newspapers friendly to
the president charged the governing
bloc, to which the majority Of the
cabinet members belonged, with plot.
ting the downfall of M. Poincare. It
was stated that the same politicians
who opposed him at the Versailles cleo
ton, when he won an easy victory
over other presidential possibilities.
would never rest until they had forced
him to step down from office to make
way for a more pltable successor.
Also it was stated that he counted
upon the elections in May to clear
the atmosphere, leaving the way free
of his enemies of the troublesome
bloc, and that unless the elections
went his way, he would possibly re-
sign.
An analysis OF the speech delivered
at Lyons,-remarkable utterances
coming from a French presid emit
show Poincare to be as firm as ever
in his Intentions not to become
mere flgurehead in the administration
of public affairs but at the same time
to recognize the voice OF the people
at once and without question.
"As the president is the representa-
tive of the nation as whole Presi-
dent Poincare declared, "hs should
rise above private interests, even the
most legitimate ones, and seek in all
things the general good He should
be stranger to the inevitable dfvi-
sions of free democracy and remain
the representative of the nation as a
whole, the president OF all the French.
In all the great national questions, he
should carry out with scrupulous 10y
alty and constant care the role of ar
bitter and councillor conferred on him
by the constitution.
France has undergone the sad ex-
perience Of personal power and does
not wish to renew it. She expects to
direct and control absolutely. by
means of her appointed representa-
tives, the daily dodngs of responsible
cabinets"
The presidents words are now gen.
orally construed to mean that he con-
siders himself elected, not by por.
ton of the French as represented by
a party, but by representatives Of all
the French as an umpire in game of
sovernm snt. He is not responsible
for the outcome OF the game in a d.
rect way; the cabinet Is responsible
