The world is prone to think of Napoleon solely as a mighty military man, paying little attention to his civil record as emperor of Fiance. It' is true that he was one of the greatest generals who ever lived. As Marbot tells us, the soldier who understands Napoleons strategy has nothing more to learn. But there is another side to the character of the French leader that plan for its securities.

In spite of the heavy losses suffered by beet sugar producers in 1920, they have gone right ahead with the 1921 campaign. They have paid the farmers a price for last years beets while selling the sugar r produced therefrom at almost prices in many instances. The fact western sugar that no company has failed speaks well for the industry and its executive heads. The brigh spot in the future outlook is that the new crop will be made at a decidedly lower cost. That farmers have recognized the ' stability of the sugar beet industry is evidenced by the way they have signed up beet acreage this season. record-breakin- g pre-wa- well-manag- ed PETROLEUM INDUSTRY SOUND.

Conditions in the California petroleum industry and its profits and losses are not exceptional, compared with other sections of the United States. As to the future, the commission recommends that the active support of the government be giyen to those engaged in the oil industry to develop production in foreign countries; thfit methods of drilling for petroleum and tbe utilization of petroleum products and their substitutes should be a subject of special study in technological and economic aspects with a view to ' conserving the supply; that the grat importance of inforamtion regarding changes in industrial and commercial conditions In the oil trade suggests and need of making provision for having such information currently collected and reported for the use of congress, the public and the industry. . en-tere- d n new-com- er ment will be placed in the way If highest attainment. could do it, I can do it," is the prow boast of every Frenchman, und him as their ideal they strive for cess.

The reversal of the case agai Senator Truman H. Newberry in supreme court was a decision generally expected by those who were familiar with the manner in which the pm. ceedings had been conducted, declares the Republican publicity association. As to the legal question involved in the constitutionality of federal lavi regulating primary elections, there .was, of course, much difference ot opinion, but those who read of the methods pursued in the trial court were in no doubt that the rulings were prejudicial to the interests of the defendant and showed a bias not only unbecoming to a judge, but constituting a serious menace to respect for our judicial system unless rebuked by by a reversal in the migher tribunal The decision of the supreme court is, of course, a great relief to Senator Newberry and a cause for gratification among his friends. But these are least of the considerations in connecting with the reversal of the case. It is a fundamental principle of free government that no man shall be deprived of his life, liberty or property without due process of law. Whenever that fundamental principle is successfully set aside the very name of justice becomes a delusion and a snare. If due Eat Royal Bread with butter! j j Eat Royal Bread with jam!
