Pe,,t. 21.-(Spe-clal. Senator Burkett and his jiarty came steaming Into town this even nc on schedule time on hla automobile Journey down the Platte valley, and delivered an address to the people upon the political Issues of the day. He had made a speech at 5 o'clock thta afternoon at Morrill, and the sixteen mllea te this place wti made In record time. Notwithstanding the much IraveUns; and speaking that the senator has been doing he seemed fresh and vigorous, and was very generous In his expression of appreciation of tr recep tion that had been accorded him every where he had been. He spoke along general political lines and took a good stiff poke at the World Herald for a recent article criticising him In which It also Jibed and ridiculed, as he said, people who are of foreign ex traction. He quoted from the World Heralda. few da a. ago criticising him for giving heed to a petition which that paper said contained only the signatures or persons, th rat RMJority of whom had "forelfin asmes," and most of which '"were written so badly as t V he Illegible'" and by men "unfamiliar' with wrlt'ng." The senator read an extract from the World Heral4 which says: This petition contained the signnture of wverai nunnrea pursonn. the treat ma jority of them having foreign nnm. Mont of the names were written hadlv. and some of them were entirely Illegible, written by men unfamiliar with writ'ng. and with hands cran)..IJ with hard labor. But Senator Burkett looked at the nnsnv petition, and thought that he heard the voice or wie people. , It reay be." skid Senator Burkett. "that the distinguished edito? of the World Herrfld, Jocund of his ancestry, can scorn the 'mm who hare foreign names' and those who 'write with hands cramped with hard work.' H may thltk that a petition, because It Is 'mossy with the dust and grime of those who toll, has no claim to consideration as" the votpe of the people, but th(Vn are those, of us who love the hand that., toils. . there fcre those of us who cannot fco Ijark tnany generations I until we trace our own ancestors to some foreign shore, and we, are not ready with! the editor of the World-Herald to reject or Ignore a petition, simply because It con- tains 'foreign names' or Is written by hand cramped' with hard abor. Petrel nera Nov' Americans. "And that grt-t paper, the World Herald, was not content with Its fling at foreigner In general, ' but In another part of the article specialises and particitlarixea In Its anathemas - against the 'Russians who toll In our beat fWds. " The senator quoted again from what the World-Herald said: "The portion contained th names of soma .Nebraskans who are interested In the sugar Industry and who are familiar with tha tariff, but. the very great ma jority of the petitioners were the Russians, who had Worked In the )eet fields." "But these petitions were signed by more than three thonaid''prsOns.' They lived here in your community and at Morrill and ' Bridgeport and all' over this valley. Some of them.Uved at Orand Island and North Platta and other places in the state. They asked that the great sugar beet Industry be not forgotten or overlooked In our tariff legislation. 'To be sure they were inter ested In the beef sukar Industry. Some of them had their' every dollar tied up in land that produces the beet. Others may look to It An their means of sustenance as laborers. But whatever their Interest may be, whether an producer of the beet, aa laborers In the field, or manufacturer In the factory, they were entitled to a fair hearing and not an ignoring simply because some of them had 'foreign names' or had 'hands cramped with honest toll.' Tariff on isssr Esplalaed. "You people realized the Importance of th beet sugar Industry when you sent that petition asking for protection to your pro duct, which the World-Herald has criti cised. The republican party has been critrlcised for its sugar legislation, but I want to submit that In the face of the history of th sagar -production of all the world, there Is no nation on earth that has managed Its sugar legislation as suc cessfully for the people, both producer and consumer, aa the I'nited States. It may be subject to criticism, for I have never seen anything that could not be criticised In soma particular. ' But the fact remains that while some unions have been losing all tbeir sugar productions and their sugar factories, and while other nations like Germany and Austria and France 'have been paying large bounties to build up their sugar Industry, our sugar production has been growing, arj at the same time our consumers have been buy ing their sugar . cheaper than any other people on earth except those of Great Uritlan, and Its people are doing it tem porarily at the cost of the complete an nihilation Of her own sugar industry. X do' not believe that there is anybody In thl country who purpuely would de stroy th splendid prospects that you mtn In this valley have before you unless it wer the great sugar trust. Hut uncon sciously or Inadvisedly, laws may be ad vocate! that -would 'do Just that ' sort of thing. The World-Ueraid In this article criticises the republicans bee. 1 so they re fused to strike out the Dutch tamlard. but that Dutch ttandard is the protec tion that stands between the people and the producers of refined beet, suk.it, ami the rheinleally bleached, cheaper grades of sugar runs foreign countries. That !u'-h standard Is the protection to every con sumer "of tugaf In this country against the fraud of the foreign producer, who would chemically bleach a lower grade of sugar and sell it to th people for what It is not. - Prt4cllo la larrea.lii. "I shall hall the day when we can pro duce within, our i-n territory all the sugar that we shall need. We rroductd In this country last year almost tuO.tVoT.oo poundr of cane sugar and we produced of baet sugar a little more than WO.OjOtfOt) pounds.

Senator Burkett, Congressman Klnkaid, H. T. Dobbins, editor of the Lincoln News, and other republican candidates arrived here to day and the senator delivered the first of his campaign speeches In the Irrigation sec tion of the Platte valley. A conference of settlers had been called at which Irrigation and kindred topics were the chief subjects discussed. Th crowd waa large and en thusiastic Senator Burkett was a pioneer In Irriga tion and has always responded generously to every call of the settlers for the develop ment of this valley, and he was given a rousing reception here as an Indication of the friendliness towards him of the people of this vicinity. People came for many miles around to a and hear the man, who. as their represe. ative, had led the fight against the coiseiatlve east ten year ago when the Irrigation problem wa In its In fancy, and who, from that time to this, has been with them In every emergency. In his speech today he took occasion to thank the people for their kind reception to him and for their generous treatment at th? primaries, and to congratulate the state upon the pushing, enterprising bunch of men there were up here opening up the valley and turning a desert Into a great garden. He spoke highly of President Taft In hla perseverance through criticism and his success over much of opposition In ac complishing the splendid legislation of the last session, and thus sustaining and enact ing Into laws the policies of his great prede cessor, Theodore Roosevelt. "I am proud of all Nebraska," said th senator In speaking of th part that he had taken in behalf or Irrigation, "but I tak a little special and personal pride In this particular part of the state, for I feel that I had something to do with making It what It Is. for I was one of the original fighters for Irrigation. It does my heart good to look over this beautiful valley with Its splendid homes. Its rich farms. Its populous towns, and think that It was brought about by the little assistance that the gov ernment gave to the people through the Irrigation law. It Is a real live testimonial to the beneficence of progressive Ideals In governmental functions. Government aid to Irrigation I an established fact today and no man Is found to criticise It, but a dosen years ago we western congressman had the struggle of our lives to get It started against the opposition of our older and, perhaps, more conservative colleagues bf the east." The senator reviewed rapidly th embar rassments that had come to the settlers and to the work of Irrigation during these ten years, and said that the track of the enemy of such legislation could be found all along the way. First, there were those who wanted to load It up with such ex pensive projects as to make It disastrous. Then there had come the difficulty of the settlers In making their first payment of assessments. Later on the suspension of work by reason of lack of money in the Irrigation fund, and last, and perhaps most disastrous, the holding of settler on their land for a period longer than was required to prove up on the homestead without giv ing title to it, when the government Itself was to blame for not having furnished the water. The senator paid a high tribute to Con gressman Klnkaid for his, devotion to. the people's welfare, -and his1 energy In cor recting some of these evils. "Together we bombarded the department," said the sena tor, "until the time of payment was ex tended from December to March, and I had the honor of Introducing the bill, which, although aa passed waa not as good as I Introduced it. but which, as It finally be came a law, authorised you to ' transfer your title and thus to leave your home stead after you had fulfilled the obligations of the homesteader, even though the gov ernment was not able to close your contract by leason If its inability to supply you with water."
