Th operation of the Nttloail Beet
Sujar company In Colorado baa re
sulted In th9 completion of . three
planta. one of which produces sugar
from Iat season's crops. They are lo
cated at Grand Junction. Rocky Ford,
and Eugar City. When all are well
under way thousands of hands will be
employed and the money thus put Into
clrcalat!oa will go Into the common
ccfifrt of the people. The world's pro
duction and consumption of sugar is
cow about S.250.000 tons per annum,
two-thirds of which is produced from
fcets and the other fraction from su
gar cane. It is estimated thst the
normal consumptive ? demand Is - in
creasing at the rate of 250,000 tons
yearly. Statutes indicate that this
country con mes more sugar than
any other i Jon. or about one-third
of the world's product. The condi
tions of soli, elknate and other adv 1
tagea are quite as good In the Un d
States, and especially In Colorado,
far the development of the beet a
Its sagar extraction as in any of the
countries of Europe and Asia. It has
been satisfactorily demonstrated that
the cultivation of sugar beets in Colo
rado may be a perfect success. A large
plant has been built at Rocky Ford,
Otero county, which cost, it li claim
ed. 11,000.000 to build and equip. To
supply it the farmers in the vicinity
have contracted to grow 88.000 acres of
btu a year for five years. From tests
made, they claim their beets will
yield 15 to 19 per cent sugar. It is
proposed to have it ready for the crop
the coming season. The factory, when
running at its full capacity, consumes
dally 1,000 tons of beets. This It con
verts Into about 100 tons of refined
sugar of the highest purity, with a
beautiful crystalline appearance. This
Is nearly 100 pounds per minute per
raicute. The beets here retch perfect
maturity, with a very high percentage.'
Beets seldom go below 15 per cent; 12
per cent Is taken as the basis of buy
ing beets at the factory. .
The beets are grown by the farmers
tinder contract with the factory and
paid for according to the saccharine
content determined: by chemical ;tests
made of samples taken from the wa
gons at the time of delivery. Besides
that, the factory controls abo it 5.000
acres of laid. Most of this land will
be fanned by tenants, but only a por
tion of each leasehold is devoted to
beets each year. Beet raisers sell their
beets based upon the -eugar- content.
The tests somewhat resemble the as
saying of ore from the mines. Selling
upon this basis encourages better
fanning and the raising of better
beets. It Is the only fair way, both
to the raiser and the manufacturer. At
Sugar City a farm of 12,000 acres has
been opened for raising sugar beets,
and a sugar factory has been built
with a capacity of 500 tons every 24
hours. Oa the farm 1,000 men and wo
men have been employed during the
summer, and this season's crop will
be converted Into sugar which will be
sold in various big markets. The es
tablishment of the sugar factory at
this point built the town, which a few
years ago consisted of a hut or two
and thousands of prairie dogs, sum
total. Nest year fully. 4,000 acres of
beets will be In cultivation. The out
put wil be increased a rapidly as pos
sible, and every day the demand for
workmen is now increasing. Denver

BRITAIN'S GROWTH.
Vaat Daaatapoaaat of tba Koaplra Dor
lac tlta Cast dry. -
An English writer contributes some
interesting facts relative to the great
growth, of Great Britain and her col
onies during the century now closing.
During 1S00-1S00, he says the British
empire baa Increased at the rate of
to acres per second. In 1800 the Unit
ed Kingdom had a colonial area equal
to sixteen times Its own area; in 190U
the United Kingdom has a colonial
are equal to nicety-six times its own
area. Roughly the increase has been
from 2.900,000 to 12,000,000 square
miles. If the Orange river colony and
the Transvaal be taken Into account,
the colonial area is now more than 97
times that of the home country. The
French colonial area Is only eighteen
tines the size of France, the German
colonial area only five times the size
cf Germany. In population, the Brit
ish empire has risen from 115,000,001
In H03 to 290,000,000 in 1900. In the
same interval the United Kingdom has
risen from 15,000,000 to 41,000,000,
Francs from 27.000.000 to 39,000.000,
and the state now Germany from 21,
C00.005 to 55,000.000. The populatioa
of the British empire outside of the
United Kingdom was. In 1800, about
100,000,000, of whom only 2,000.000
were white. Now it numbers 349.000,
000. of whom 12.000.000 are white;
then one person In 50 was white, now
one person in 28 Is a white. The Brit
ish empire Js peopled at the rate of 33
persons to the square mile.

, The Country Coll ges.
Dr. D. K. Pearsoas, the octogenar
ian benefactor of small colleges, has
been signally honored by the legisla
ture! of this state in the adoption of a
complimentary set of ret A' ions.
The legislators, recognizing that Dr.
Pearsons wealth was accunalated in
this state and that here his greatest
benefactions have been made, took
occasion, on Dr. Pearsons', personal
visit to the legislature to record with
a rising vote their appreciation of his
splendid work in furthering the cause
of education. f T " '
The keynote of Dr. Pearsons' ben
efactions to 'the colleges is contained
In the following saying by- himself:
"Not a -penny to the rich or well-endowed
institutions. I am helping the
poor, struggling colleges because they
are helping the poor boys and poor
girls to obtain an education."
If, as Dr. Pearsons and ? great many
others believe, the best American
types of the future are to come from
the west and middle west this liberal
giver, to the cause , of education is
shrewd and far-seeing in confining his
gifts td the small colleges scattered
over the middle and western states.
Dr. Pearsons sharply defines the work
of the smaller colleges as distinct from
the great, richly endowed institutions
of learning. In the latter the ten
dency is ever to concentrate, consoli
date and absorb. In the small col
leges the opposite tendency is para
mount, and hence they must ever re
main "close to. the , soil," whence the
best types of young America are re
cruited every year.
The great universities are constant
ly absorbing more wealth. They are
also absorbing smaller and weaker
institutions at an unparalleled pace.
Dr. ; Pearsons believes, and a great
many will agree with him, that this
tendency is not representative of true
democracy in learning. Nothing can
ever supplant the beneficent work of
the smaller colleges. It is In them
that the moral fiber of students fresh
from the country or mountain home
is developed as It cannot be in the
glamour of a great centralized uni
versity. Probably the tendency of the future
will be that the immensely endowed
universities, with their magnificent
equipment and facilities for special in
vestigations, will devote themselves
more and- more to postgraduate -work-The
training of the raw material in
the ordinary academic and college
years will be left to the smaller Insti
tutions near the homes of the stu-
dents. 1
: This tendency is even necessary : if.
we are to retain the principle of dem
ocracy in the field of learning. The
attempt to . consolidate and affiliate,
scores and even hundreds of small
colleges .into' one centralized institu-
tion Is an artificial policy that may vlU
timately fall of 1 its own weight.
; Long may the small college prosper,
and 1 such prophets as Dr Pearsons
multiply. Chicago Chronicle. : - , .

, 1 Anarchistic Nebraska. ; ,;
The , legislature of Nebraska .has
'passed a new law governing cities, of
the second class., . VY'-V' " .
This ' law allows cities to put in
public heating plants.
In Nebraska at present cities may
own and operate water plants, gas
plants, heating plants and supply the
public at cost.
What depravity! What miserable,
socialistic degeneration! How much
better it is here in New York. The
gas and heat are owned by private in
dividuals and peddled out at the high
est possible rate, in connection with
official bribery.
What a calamity it would be to shut
o.ff the profits of half a dozen corpora
tions and supply at cost gas, heat and
electricity, as we now supply water.
New York Journal.
The Income Tax.
ouqnd mu mouh o SuijCjhbjS st
opinion is fast crystalizing In favor of
an income tax, as one among the most
equitable ways in which revenues for
the support of the government can be
secured. Its adaptation to the needs
of local government, as well as to
those of the general government, is
also becoming generally recognized.
Congressman Grosvenor has publicly
announced that "there is no fairer or
morevequitable tax than that which is
levied upon profits and the gains of
business." That a man with an income
of ten thousand dollars a year should
go - untaxed, while the man with an
income of but one thousand should be
taxed to the extent of twenty per cent
of that income, is an arrangement that
cannot merit the approval of .any hon
est citizen; still that is one of the re
sults of our present system of taxa
tion which we meet with" every day.
The democratic party, as a whole, has
been advocating . the . basing a ' good
portion of our tax JeYy;upon incomes,
for some time back.. Now, with in
fluential members of the ' republican
party advocating the same , thing, we
may reasonably hope to see it soon
adopted in some form. Columbus

When Abraham Lincoln pleaded for
a government by, of and for the peo
ple, it is probable he had no thought
of the direct ownership and operation
of public utilities by the public; the
term, "public utilities," had been lit
tle quoted, if any. at that time, and
was not so full of meaning as now.
The leaven Is growing, however, and
the increasing popularity of the ques
tion of the municipal ownership of
street railways, water, light, power
and heating plantsa step in the di
rection of government ownership. 4s

Lincoln's "by, of and for the people."

An Important Deal
Located in Omaha is one of the
largest commercial houses in the west,
known as the Western Mercantile Co.,
1206-120S Douglas street. Thia concern
started in business three years . ago
and by -very hard work, adhering
strictly to business principles, selling
direct to consumers, they have built
up one of the largest business houses
in Omaha. A representative of our
paper visited their ware house this
week and was really surprised to find
them doing so. much business. At the
same time, after a little thought, it
was no surprise for when you consider
that they save their customers from
10 to 40 per cent on everything they
handle it is .evident that it does not
take long to show the people that it
pays to do business with them.,'
Their system of doing business Is
the only system for cash buyers. In
stead of asking the consumer to pay
three or four profits they have only
one small profit to add' to the manu
facturers' cost. They have no agents,
no canvassers, and do. business direct
with the consumer by catalogue only.
Their new catalogue is now ready for
mailing. It cost about 35c" with the
mailing, yet the catalogue is free and
they only ask for the 10c to cover the
postage. This book will save any av
erage family 200 or 300 ' times that
amount every year and it certainly
pays every person to send for one. If
the catalogue is not worth many times
the 10c they. will refund the 10c Imme
diately without any question so that
a person cannot afford to delay send
ing now.
, Another thing, it pays every con
sumer in the west to have a large mail
order house established , in Omaha for
the v.ery fact that they are located in
Omaha will prevent the local dealer
from asking too much for his goods.
The catalogue of the Western Mercan
tile Co. shows -you what the dealer
pays for his goods; shows you, the
real value cf the goods and Is, there
fore, valuable as a buyer's guide.. We
direct your attention to "this book for
we feel confident that it is of utmost
