SENATOR HARDING
PROPOSES

something that sounds like very gooC
horse sense for conducting the worl
of his office when elected, and the
wonder is that it has not always
been done. He proposes to have the
vice president an active member Of
the administration, comforting the
same as he does, in all cabinet meet
ings and keeping in close touch with
its activities pretty much as a pri-
vate secretary does with the manager
of q business concern.
Being PRESIDENT Of the United
States is something more than a
mans job-it is job for two men,
and when two are giving their con-
slant attention to it, one as princi-
pal and the other as assistant, the
work can be handled better, and if
anything happens to the president,
the other is prepared to go right on
without interruption or lack OF in
formation.
Such program will be in strik-
ing contrast with the way it is being
done now, and the present suspen-
sion of government makes it doubly
necessary that there be catching up
of the work.
When Theodore Roosevelt became
governor of New York he introduced
a new practice relative to publicity
that was based on common sense
and common need. 1t had been
the practice for the state admins
tration to ignore the press repre-
sentatives and let them get the news
if they could, with the result that
there was great deal of guessing,
a great deal of mistaken statements
made in print, and there was waste
of work and more or less bad feel
ing engendered all the while.
Governor Roosevelt called in the
press representatives early and made
an agreement with them that at a
certain hour every day he would give
them an audience, and at that time
he would not only tell them what
was being done but would take them
into his confidence and tell them
what was being planned and likely to
come up. He told those men that
he trusted them and confided in
them, and that he wanted their help;
that they held great power for
good and he wanted to help them
to make the best possible use of
it. He would be very glad to have
them know all that was going on,
and glad to have them tell the public
as soon as it was proper: When
there were proper reasons for with
holding information from the public
he would expect them as public ser
wants help him as a public servant,
in doing what was best for the public
interest. There are times when news
has to be held up or suppressed, and
the governors way Of doing was to
tell them freely of all things but
make it plain what was to be sup
pressed and why it should be done,
or at times he would leave it to their
judgment whether to suppress thing,
and when they reached conclusions,
everybody could be depended upon
to guard that secret until it was re-
leased for publication.
When that plan was put into OPP
GRAFTON, people wondered why it had
not always been done so. They will
probably feel about the same rela-
tive to Senator Harding's plan for
the activities Of the vice president.

left residue of pure sugar crystals
Il was the French. however, who
developed the sugar beet industry
and demonstrated to the world that
commercial sugar could be success
fully manufactured from the sugar
beef. The Germans, after France
had successfully demonstrated the
value of the sugar beet and its great
benefit to farm lands in crop rota-
ton, again took up sugar beet cul-
ture and developed the industry to
such an extent that at the time the
great world war was launched, Ger
many dominated the sugar markets
of the world with SIS beet sugar
factories.
Very First Sugar Factory
The first beet sugar factory In the
world was established at Cunern, in
Silesia, by Franz Carl Achard, in
1901. The process of extraction and
manufacture was very crude and i'm
perfect, and no improvement Of note
was made until the ever alert Napol-
con Bonaparte, then emperor Of
France, heard of Achard's expert
ments and appointed a committee Of
scientific agriculturists, headed by
NJ. Isnard, to make a thorough inves-
tigation of its possibilities. This
committee established experimental
farms in several districts of France,
and built two small experimental
beet sugar factories near Paris, with
the result that in 1871 Isnard report
ed to Napoleon that commercial sug-
ar could be successfully produced
from sugar beets, and that the soil
and climatic conditions of north
ern and northeastern France were
ideal for sugar beet culture.
Sugar Beets War Weapon
Napoleon, when not engaged in
war, concentrated all his remarkable
energy in planning the development
of agriculture and manufacturing to
the end that France might be self
supporting and Independent of i'm
portations for the necessities of life
from any other nation. He was a
far-seeing statesman. He always de-
manded action and wasted no time
with red tape or slothful committees.
Upon receiving favorable report from
the sugar beet committee he imme-
diately ordered by imperial decree
the erection of BAL small beet sug-
ar factories in northern France, co.
900 acres of land to be planted to
sugar beets and appropriated one
million francs from the treasury Of
the government to assist the farmers
In financing their beet crops.
In 1911 construction on the fac
tories began and in 1913 France had
343 beet sugar factories, more than
four times as many sugar factories
Is the United States has erected DUR
ing the eighty years which have
elapsed since we erected our first |
factory, Notwithstanding the fact |
that it involved more risk to erect |

Lord Robert Cecil gould not un-

j
II Was Designed.
Washington, Aug. 9.-The note dis
patched by Poland to the United
States supposedly to enlist the sym
pathy and aid of this country In the
war with soviet Russia, has not
reached Washington, according to
the state department.
Until the note arrives President
Wilson will make no definite decision
as to the course of the administra-
ton in dealing with the Polish crisis.
In his answer to the note, how
ever, the president is expected to set
forth for the benefit Of the Amer
fcan people as well as Europe his
views on the settlement of the diff
ferences between Poland and Russia.
Much interest here attaches to the
note also reported to have been ad-
dressed by Poland to the league of
nations. If in this note Poland should
invoke the offices of the league to
stop the war the league would be
brought face to face with the issue
1t steadfastly has ignored, and the
world might at last be furnished
with the object lesson in the opera
ton Of the covenant for which it has
been waiting.

Great Lakes Boats
to Be Used to Moue
Grains From Vest
BY Associated Press.

Dy SSSoCldtSQ FFeSS.
Washington, Aug. 9.-Plans are
now being worked out by the inter-
state commerce commission and the
railways to insure the greatest pos
sible grain movement on the Great
Lakes, Chairman Clark announced
today at the conclusion of hearings
on the request for additional cars to
move grain from the northwest.
Chairman Clark's statement was
made In reply to a suggestion Of
Governor w. L. Harding. Of Iowa,
that the Great Lakes be used for
transporting grain as a means of in
creasins car supply. There Is enough
tonnage on the Great Lakes to carry
l22.0O0,0oO bushels Of grain from
Lake Michigan and Lake Superior
ports to Buffalo on single trip, the
governor told the commission.
The leading capacity for grain and
coal on Great Lakes boats is equal
to that of $4,000 cars, Governor
Harding estimated, and added that
the utilization of lake boats to the
fullest extent would release that
amount of equipment.
Governor Harding continued that
the trouble with the transportation
Of the country was the congestion be-
tween Chicago and Buffalo points,
and argued that If the lakes were
used the situation would be relieved.

Japanese officers that this is exactly
what the Japanese are counting on.
For the promotion Of their own
purpose the Japanese are keeping Si-
IBERIA in \ state of disorder. Their
troops are scattered all thru\the ter
ritory as far as Chita. Whenever con-
ditions begin to settle down to a
peaceful state the Japanese troops
stir up fresh fighting. BY so doing
they not only obstruct the further
advance of the soviet forces, but they
make 1t appear that the turbulent
condition of the country necessitates
the presence Of Japanese forces for
the protection OF Japanese residents.
1t also is fact that the Japanese,
generally in friendly way, obstruc-
ted everything the Americans were
trying to do In Siberia"
