Baylor, special agent of the Department of Ag riculture. Ilia figures ahow that the production of beet sugar In the United ' States In the season 1901-62 has aggre gated 185,000 tons, an Increase of 140 per rent from 77,000 tons produced Jdur ing the season of 1900-01. There were 31 factories in operation in 1900, accord ing to the census figures, and 11 more were started In 1201. ' There are nine factories in course of construction for operation in 1902. j Other companies have organized' with a total capital of t9,0f)0,000 and will require annually a working capital in addition of .19,000,000. According to Special Agent Sayjor.they would purchase from the farmer annu ally beets to the amount of $14,700,000, besides many other crude materials. r FILIPINO METHODS. The resistance to American authority In th? Philippines had Its beginning in misrepresentation and falsehood and is still being kept alive by the sameimeth ods. .The Filipino were encouraged to believe that the American people were In sympathy with their resistance, by a few men In Congress w bo wantedUo .' make political capital out of the ritua Hon In which the Spanish-American . war left th. country at lis close. Thla , .was the cause of the uprising on Feb--' ruary 4. 1H, while th. Senate was dis cussing the treaty ceding the Islands. jne natives Knew mat there was ap position to the retention of the Philip pines, but they did not understand the .jiniotive that prompted-U. They were tied to believe that the opposition would bring about a revolution In this coun- , try, and they struck the blow thinking that their friends on this slde; of the water would also take up arms in sup port of tht I r cause. : ' Agulnaldo. led his ieopl to Ibelleve that thw Americans were a race of butt hers. He told them how we had come, to America, robbed the '. Inidans of their lands and home and had fol- : lowed them into the forest and hunted , them down like wi?d beasts. They had now come to rob the Filipino in . the fame. way. Everything that could'be said to misrepresent the American to pie was Spread broadcast over the .isl ands; and by this means the native armies were recruited. j Late, mall advices from the Philip pines Indicate that the native officers are' still practicing deception and sub terfuge' to retain control over their Ig norant follower. - ; One insurgent commander recently, issued a proclamation saying that "Now is the time to strike a'docialve blow: for Filipino lhItendence," and adding: V Trhe United States Is in the midst of a bloody civil war. The coal miners in Pennsylvania have risen . against the . ffovernment and at Chicago a great bat tie was fought in which 190 regular ;ttdier were killed. rAa army of antl Itnt etiallsts 1s besieging 'Washington. Roosevelt will be deposed and. Dr. Bry an proclaimed President by the -Democrats 'on the fourth of March next." In a circular letter to his subordin ate officers which was to be pubtish"d far and "wide for the Information .of th .people, a rebel lieutenant colonel de c!aretl that the ' Junta central at llong Kng had received a cablegram from licrHn Informing them that the Emper or of Germany was about to confer up on General Malvar a grand decoration and that in consideration of the j're llnquUhment by the Insurgent govern ment of all claim to the Caroline Isl ands, w'hltV formerly befonged to the surgents had increased! so greatly that the chaplains with the army a year ago were insufficient ko receive the dying confessions of the soldiers killed In battle.

Thia la the way ithe poor Filipino has been deceived and deluded by design Ing leaders. The Democratic party is largely responsible for the condition of affairs there by Its unreasonable oppo sition to accepting the situation as It was left on our hands. We had no hon orable way to withdraw from the la! andsj after we destroyed the only gov ernment that had control over It 1 1 . : ' - w LES The fight In Marion county Is not be tweeh- Geer and Wrlghtman. Mr. Wrlghtman Is not a candidate for Gov- crnoi. If he were the Contest might be between them, and Republicans -would have less cause for concern, for-'even Mr, Wrlghtman Is much better quail- fled for Governor than Furnish, and Republicans could support him for that office without nauseating sensations. He has always been a loyal Republican, standing by his party in office and put of office, in victory and defeat. But he is not. a candidate 'for this office.; Fur nish is the man who Is against Geer. Mr. Wrlghtman has placed himself In such a position that a vote for him vir tually means a vote for Furnish. Many friends of Mr. Wrlghtman regret that this Is so,- but they are placed in a po sition where they can do him no good and where ai. vnt. fnf film nti1f man one for a man who la distasteful to the. ilepublicans of this county. The only thing, his friends can do under the cir cumstances la to give their support to Governor Geer. Mr. Wrlghtman ha no claim on the support of his friends in the contest between Geer and Furnish. They might be expected' to give him their loyal support, but when it car ries with it the support of Furnish they are surely relieved from any duty they may owe as friends. ! . The Interest being taken in education in the South is havinra wonderful ef fect upon people of the North who 'are coming to aid in the great undertaking of reorganising and opening schools for the people of that section. It look as If In a short time the South would bt as well supplied with! educational far ities as any'6ther part of the nation. nd that the children of the South, whether white or black, will enjoy school privileges that have so long been dehd them. , Every few weeks we' learn of great expenditures of money. for the encouragement oC Southern schools, and the outlook, for them is bright' The latest move In that direc tion 1 the organisation at New-Tork recently, of a General IKducation Board. The underlying principle of the assocl iktlon Is stated to be recognition of the fact that the people of the Southern states are earnestly engaged in the pro motion of public education and that In this effort they should receive generous Id; ,and.to thU end and In pursuance of this and kindred objects the associ ation will seek gifts large and amsll. from those. In sympathy with Its plans. More than $1,000,000 has been placed at the disposal of the Board already, i Governojr Gear !sa candidate for the nomination to succeed himself and will likely be victorious In the, convention, although there are a dumber of Repub licans who are aspiring' tor the same honor. Mr. IGeer'a principal strength Ilea in his record In the gubernatorial chair for the past four years. His ad ministration ha been clean and honest; There have been no scandals In any of the pubiic institutions, and no shadow attaches itself to the honor of the head of the state. Mr. Geer baa brought his good, hard common sense to bear upon the questions which have come before him for solution and has rendered his judgment with the-courage and sin cerity characteristic of the man. TaIl Timothy" Geer la apparently booked for -another term as Governor and we are glad of It. Medford Mail. A: We talk about them for their removal.

Scarcely a Republican anywhere In the state has held an office during the last ten years who has not been under obligation, at least indirectly, to Gov ernor Geer. By common consent he has been regarded by both Democrats and Republicans as the most effective caminigner In many respects with: i the Republican party, and the failure to renominate blm would, aa the Ya quina Bay News has so aptly said, "be a great blunder which would cost the partly dearly." Will the Republicans of Marion county make the sacrifice In order to gratify the spite of a few dis appointed applicants for office, not one of whom ever made a political speech In his life? This is thj only issue to decide at the primaries. Are you for or against Marlon county? . My sister and Z have been In the habit 'of taking food's wMiMnua m uw epring ana we nna it works wonders.

L Jl- Etbu, No true : friend of Governor Geer should be betrayed into opposition to him by the alleged Simon-deer combin ation. The man who is thus used by the disgruntled simply declares that he hates Simon more than be cares for Geer, and bases his political action in the subsequent possibility of a Sena torial election Instead of on the present contest for Governor. Every firm and true frlenda f Governor Geer snould realize that his future as a public man. nd usefulness a a prominent factor In the Republican party of Oregon will depend upon the result of the, primaries today. No sincere friend of his will fail in his duty today. Marion county should not prove disloyal to Its .distin guished native son .who has always been loyal to her interests. ernor Geer neither was any man ever Governor' of Oregon who was better known by more of those who are called the plain people or who -ha lived more plainly. Having been add lived as a farmer all his life, he has changed In no particular In his treatment of the com mon people. Furnish' s friends say they It Is said Furnish voted for Cleveland in 1892, when Populism threatened to become the rullrigparty in Oregon, he cast his vote for Weaver and then in 1898 he came oyer to the Republicans and -voted for McKlnley.

The opposition Secretary of State Dunbar has made an ideal official. From no quarter of the state ha the slightest breath of criticism come of the administration of his office. But all join In giving him credit for saving the state thousands of dollars by his care and watchfulness over the bills presented and allowing nothing to pas that savored In the least of a graft. The people of the state demand his renomination at the hands of the next convention, and, It Is quite certain, that politicians will not have the courage to resist this popular Geer should have' a large delegation to the State Convention.
