Don't Sell Out.

Secretary of Agriculture Coburn oil
Kansas, speaks truly when be ad'
vises farmers to hold their young
stock through the drought. As he
points out, the period of dry weather
has frightened many into shipping
calves and hogs simply to keep from
paying high prices for feed if the pres
sent conditions continue.
Prudent managers will follow MIR.
ger that Missouri farmers will do
what he warns Kansas farmers not
TO do Missourians appreciate the
Importance of keeping young stock
on the farm. That is the principal
source of steady agricultural profit
| in this State. Last year over one
hall of the corn and fodder raised in
| Missouri was put on the market in
the shape of live stock.
Itis only within late years that the
Kansas farmer has appreciated the
| Importance of breeding his own stock.
| The small holder Of land divided his
quarter-sectiOn into a corn field and
prairie grass pasture Then he
went to the South and West. where
he bought 2-year-olds, paying prices
that were usually highly profitable
to the cattle kings of the range.
Raising cattle on that basis was
nothing short OF speculation. Often
the bank furnished the money with
which the stock was purchased, tax
ing mortgages on the cattle and
feed. If the market happened TO be
low, the bank was compelled to take
all the proceeds from the sale and
the farmer had nothing to show for
his year. Sometimes a falling mar
ket left even the bank with balance
in red ink on the deal.
Conditions have changed. With |
the bOuntiful crops OF the past few |
years, the farmers have taken cOun- |

raising their own stock Coincident |
with the diversity and rotation of |
crops, the value OF a small herd OF |
live stock has become appreciated as
it is in the East. where the economies
in agriculture are practiced to the
fullest extent.
This new and more stable condi-
ton is one that Kansas can ill-affOrd |
to lose. As the Secretary of Agricul-
ture correctly observes, it will take
ten years to regain such a position if
once the young stock is sacrificed.
Kansas is out of debt. There is a
fair amount of fodder on hand, even

No Need of an Extra Session of

Washington, June 1.-The cabinet
was unable to reach any conclusions
as TO the Philippine tariff situation

cisions of the supreme court Attor-
ney General Knox will make a care
tul examination of the language of
the decisions at once and ascertain
their exact bearing on the tariff be-
tween this country and the PhiIip-
pines. lie will then state 10 the pres
ident and his advisers the movers
now vested ina the government i'm deal
ing with this subject. There was
little discussion OF this matter owing
to the general lack of clear under
standing "a to the real effect of the
decision. Mr.. Knox may report his
conclusions on the subject at the
next cabinet meeting. and proba bly
also viii discuss the results OF his
examination of the opinions OF the
court with the president individually.
Meanwhile discussion of the need Of
an extra session is deferred. as con-
SIdcration of the question of an exc
IRA session was regarded ms premature
at this time. Members Of the cabinet
individually rcfraincd from even cx-
pressing their general opinions as to
the possibility OF congress being con-
vened in extraordinary session.
The cabinet held that the amend
ments and interpretations and ,be
wealth of whereases placed by the
cuban convention upon the Cuban
amendment amounted TO practical
modification OF the Platt amendment
such as was beyond the power of this
government TO accept. The messare
of rejection sent TO Gen Wood nd
Nises the Cubans in unqualified lam
guage that there is 10 power resting
in the United States government to
change the terms of the Platt amend
ment, and that this government in
sists on the acceptance OF the blntt
amendment, without amendnent OF
qualification. The Cuban convention
is still in session and the message
of rejection will be delivered 20 il
Immediately. The administ ration il

,eptance within reasonable length OF
time
The only other important matter
brought up at the session was state
ment by Secretary Gage as 10 the
finances Of the government The pres
ident and cabinet had been away
from the city for some weeks and
Secretary Gage took the opportunity
10 point out that the surplus IN The
treasury is steadily mounting upward.

in general were very gratifying.

Constitution as Adopted.

Havana, June 1.-The decision OF
the United States government not to
accept the Cuban constitution as
adopted by the Havana convention
caused great surprise and keen dis
appointment 10 the members of the
constitution rs adopted. Two lending
conservatives who were interviewed
Friday night ON the subject said in
substance that they had reason to
suppose that the constitution would

otherwise they would not haze voted
for the majority report as submitted.
As they also pointed out that in order
to avoid a possibility OF rejection
the majority had been changed AZ th.,
last moment by striking out the in
depreciation at the end Of the clauses
and putting these in the form Of L
resolution by themselves. thus NC
rcpting the Platt amendment as pass

Both Delegates expressed regret
that misunderstanding had arisen
and said they doubted that the con-
