then robbed the express Office at No
wata. In attempting Starts arrest,
Flody Wilson, a deputy United States
marshal, was shot twice and killed by
Starr, who held his pistol so close to
Wilson's body that the clothing caught
fire
Starr, now beyond the pale Of the
law, became an outlaw in earnest and
practically ever since that time has
been in the penitentiary or a fguitive
from justice. He found a partner in
kid" Wilson, a desperate character,
who came west from Brooklyn, New
York, where he was born. In June,
1893, they robbed the Peoples Bank
at Bentonville, Ark, and got $l1 900
in gold. Both were captured at Col
orado Springs, Colo. Starr was tried
for the murder of Wilson and for
numerous robberies, his sentence ag-
gregating fifteen years. He was par
doned at the end of five years because
of his youth and good prison conduct.
That was a long time ago, as the
fate of outlaws run in this country.
The breed was practically exterminat-
ed fifteen or sixteen years ago. Starr,
however, has survived the long hunt.
Born in the Cherokee nation, always
able to get money and concealment
when hard pressed, befriended by the
tactiturn fullbloods Of his race, his
career has heightened beyond the
years commonly allotted to such a
life. The man or officer who goes in
pursuit of Starr will challenge death,
for Starr will undoubtedly fight TO
the last cartridge.

A Case of Hindsight

Sugar beet raisers in Iowa and Min
nesota are exceedingly sorry for them
selves. Following tariff alarms last
year, the price Of sugar dropped, stock
holders controlling beet sugar mills
lost their nerve and the factories shut
down. But there came reaction.
Sugar rose higher than ever. II the
beet men had kept the mills going
they could have cleared big profits
for themselves and divided a hand
some return among the farmers who
grow beets.-New York Evening
world.
This shows the Importance and the
value of hindsight. 1t is much better
than foresight, for it leaves nothing
to guess at. II the sugar beet raisers
of 10 or 20 states had had hindsight
they would have known early in 1914
that on the 29th of July of that year,
the biggest war in all history was
going to break out. Beet seed is
planted some time in April. Now, why
didn't the farmer look ahead and see
that the deadly blight Of the Under
wood free trade tariff gas going to
be in some measure offset by a war
that would send the price of sugar
higher than ever? The Evening
World sees it now, all right. OF
course the farmers should have seen
it year ago.-National Farmer.

steadily less productive unless the ell
ements of which it is robbed are re-
placed at heavy cost. AS matter of
actual practice among the majority
of American wheat growers no con-
sistent effort is made to prevent this
progressive soil exhaustion.
The relative effect of wheat and
sugar upon the land is shown by the
fact that an acre of wheat takes forty
pounds of nitrogen from the soil,
while an acre of beets takes thirty
pounds. In the case of beets, how
ever, none of the nitrogen is contain
ed in the sugar itself 1t is all in the
pulp and tops, which, as by-products
of sugar extraction, are fed to stock
and so returned to the soil. In ex-
porting wheat on the other band, the
precious nitrogen goes with and is
lost to the nation.
The net result of the uneconomic
policy of the United States in failing
to grow its entire sugar supply and
in paying for the imported portion in
exported wheat involved loss to the
country in the single year 1914 of ap-
proximately 100000 tons of nitrogen.
Sugar itself is made up of carbon, hy-
drogen and oxygen. 1t may best be
described as crystalized sunshine stor-
ed in the beet or cane plants by ma
ture and extracted by man. In i'm
porting sugar, therefore, we are buy
ing foreign sunshine. In sending
abroad American grown wheat to bal
ance the account we are selling the
very lifeblood of the soil. The ruinous
ultimate result of this policy upon the
agricultural resources of the country
is obvious.

The Colorado Strike Report

Whatever the merit Of the general
observations Of the majority report of
the subcommittee named by the house
committee on mines and mining to in
vestigate the coal miners strike in
Colorado, the refusal of Representa-
tive Byrnes of South Carolina to join
in The report is based on good reason
ing. This committee was appointed to
make the inquiry on the theory that
there had been interference with pos
tai facilities or interstate commerce
or a violation of the immigration laws
or the Sherman act or a denial Of
the rights guaranteed individuals by
the federal constitution. Mr. Byrnes
finds that there was no testimony to
indicate that any Of these laws had
been violated or that any federal
.question had been involved in the
strike. He argues, under the circum-
stances, that the committee had no
right to enter into a general discus
sion Of the relations Of capital and
labor or to hold up any individual to
the scorn Of the world, whether he de
serves it or not.
He is right, both as a matter Of
law and general policy. Within a
year we have seen a subcommittee Of
the house committee on judiciary,
named to inquire as to whether the
facts justified the impeachment Of a
United States judge, report that it
found no such grounds. Instead Of
stopping there, the majority of the
subcommittee made uncomplimentary
comment on the judge, leaving a rec
ord which he had no constitutional
way of attacking The committee
grossly exceeded its authority in that
case. If Mr.. Byrnes is right about
the facts the investigators Of the Col
orado strike are guilty Of the same
offense. If committees of congress
have no respect for the laws under
which they act, how can they expect
general respect for law? In the pres
ent case the report is particularly
reprehensibIe, in view Of the fact that
a government board, the federal
commission on industrial relations,
had made an exhaustive study of the
conditions in the strike zone. 1t was
empowered to make such an inquiry
and report its findings. But the house
committee exceeded its legitimate au-
thority.-St Lous Globe-Democrait.

A New Josephus Daniels

Along with our distinguished con
sideration we also offer the Hon. Jo-
sephus Daniels, secretary of the navy
our assurance that his halo is still
on straight. 1t shines, too, with a
brighter radiance. Should any one
ask how such a thing can be, our
answer is that it has been made pos
sible by the case of Ensign Austin,
who had been dismissed for violation
of that navy regulation decreeing that
a junior officer cannot marry without
consent Of the department, and who,
after being denied permission, mar
ried anyhow. His plea to the secre-
tary was for reinstatement and the
secretary by authority of the presi-
dent has just granted it.
Mark in what burning words this
righteous grant is made "If | were
in love with girl" says the secre-
tary, "and if ! knew that my mar
riage to her would result in the en-
tire breakdown of the navy, if not
of the government itself, would
marry her anyhow. When regulations
interfere with the course of true love
there's only one thing to do-love" "
Here we find the divine passion
mounting almost to terms of disloy-
atty to the nation in the fine full glow
of its brilliant fire. $50 light to the
croupe the fair lady he swung, so
light to the saddle before he sprung"
Who can help thinking of such warm
knight as Josephus Daniels as a pos
sible Lochinvar if the course of true
love had not run smooth with him?
Public pleasure will not be less at
the words than at the surprise they
bring. Orders cutting out the jackies'
allowance for wine at the officers mess
and sternly forbidding all levity in
song and story at annual reunions,
had led the public mind to look upon
Josephus Daniels as one immune to
all the passions of life. In the light
of these burning words we see him
now as an Apollo wrapped in flame.
Our own pleasure is that at last we
have reached a point where we may
commend an official act of the secre-
tary Of the navy. Often as it has
been our duty to criticise acts we
have felt to be wrong, it becomes now
"a greater pleasure to applaud one
which is right.-Ex.

The Government report includes
also 155,473 long tons of sugar from
the Philippines, valued at s7,SO2,
24l, which is omitted from the above
table, as it is actually the product
of American soil
Sugar also figured among the ex-
ports Of the United States during
1914 to the extent of 14,334 long tons.
valued at S772,19S. Deducting these
exports from the figures given above
leaves 2,247, ,434 long tons, valued at
the ports of entry at s118,444 s55, as
the net imports for the year.
These dry figures contain material
for some instructive comparisons.
Exports Of wheat from the United
States in 1914 amounted to 173, ,S61,-
944 bushels, with total valuation of
$1S7 100, an average price Of
S1.07 bushel. This was the highest
price at which the export wheat crop
had been sold for ten years. Evcn
with this unusually high price of
wheat, however, over SO per cent of
the whole amount exported, or no.
696,126 bushels, was required to pay
for the imported sugar bought nom
foreign growers and dealers. To grow
the wheat that went to settle this
sugar bill it was necessary to till T.
S06,500 acres at the average yield of
the past ten years. This is nearly
one-eighth of the normal wheat acre
age Of the entire country and repre-
sents an area almost equal TO the
combined total of the improved land
in the three large western states Of
Montana, Wyoming and Utah. Prac-
tically all the wheat grown in the
four great agricultural states of Mimi
esota, Wisconsin, Illinois and Iowa,
was required to foot the nations bill
for imported, foreign grown sugar.
If it were impossible to grow sugar
in the United States it would be ex-
cusable to use this large proportion of
our wheat crop to pay for sugar i'm
ports As statistics published by the
Department of Agriculture show, how
ever, there are no less than 27S,000,-
900 acres in the country adapted to
sugar growing, and all the sugar i'm
ported into the United States last
year could have been grown on ap-
proximately 100000 acres Of our
own land Bulletin 26O of the De
partment Of Agriculture gives list
of nineteen states adapted to sugar
beet growing and adds:
"If one farmer in four in these
states were to plan 9-acre patch and
give it the care that could readily be
bestowed upon so small a tract, it
would be unnecessary for us to buy
foreign sugar. Two thirds of l per
cent of the improved land in this area
is all that would be required to ac-
complish this result. More than that
acreage lies idle, absolutely unused,
every year. Any one of the states of
Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Min
nesota, Nebraska or Ohio could pro-
duce all this sugar and then have the
beets occur only once in a 10-year ro-
tation; several Of the others could do
it alone on a 5-year rotation"
AS a result of the purchase Of sugar
supplies from foreign countries and
the export Of wheat to pay for it the
soil of the United States is being
drained of valuable elements of fertfl-
ity. In consequence the land becomes
