1T WOULD NOT BE FAIR

According to a news item printed In
the Evening Journal on Wednesday,
certain persons who assume to be in
huentlal in shaping the policy of the
Union Republican members Of the Leg
islatire. have decided that the Demo-
Gratis shall have no attorney to act for
them, unless he gives his services
gratis. 1t needs no comment from us
TO make It clear that such an action
would be unfair and rankly partisan.
Such a course would be neither expedi-
Knt nor wise. 1t cannot be defended
on any reasonable grounds, and pre-
cedent is against It. The Republicans
and the Union Republicans combined,
have the power. but as far as that
goes they can elect ten attorneys as
easily as they can two. Even gamblers
are supposed to play fair game, and
legislators diner from gamblers in that
they are under oath to perform their
duty TO the State.
We know that some panny-a-liner

sitter Of the Legislature in accordance
with the decencies OF the case. and It
lakes more than calling himself a Re
publican to make a man one.
We say that the members Of the
General Assembly may take any one
OF several courses: They may have
no paid attorney. which would not bs
a bad course to take. They may cleo
one man as counsel, a man who is pre-.
eminently qualified for the duties to b,
performed. and who will DO his duty
just as the Attorney General does his
They may elect two men to advise them,

jority and the other OF the minority. Oh
they may choose three. one from eacl
party. Now what is proposed is tc
give the Regular Republicans an at
torney In exchange for one for thl
Snion Republicans This means tha
each party as a party requires the ser
vices OF legal adviser. II this is true
then to deprive another party OF an Of
hcer to act in a similar capacity woul,
be taking an unfair advantage. Pre-
sumably attorneys for the several par
ties are appointed on the theory tina
their advice is needed in properly shap
Ing legislation. Do the Democrats no
peed an adviser? Or Is It desirable tha
Democrats should be without advice {
the end that they shall be less Ell
cient? We say that It is against logi
and fair dealing.

SOME FALSE IDEAS

There is a tendency among men when
they come to form estimates Of their
fellows. to place them in certain general
classes and to let it go at that with
some persons that man is rich is suf-
flcient condemnation. unless those
riches are in some manner a benefit 10
the critic. That a person has behind
him a long line Of distinguished am
cestors is sufficient condemnation in
the eyes OF others. Even the wisest
and best men sometimes make the mis-
take Of entering into these generaiiza-
tlons which do an injustice to individu-

nate.

SEVENTEENTH YEAR.
Mixed RatIons Tor Farm Horses.

Mixed Rations for Farm Horses.
Many horse feeders regard oats as
almost necessary. and II Is doubtless
true that In large regions of the Unit
ed States the most common ration Tor
horses consists OF oats and hay. with
an occasional bran mash. In the
South and West corn seems to be the
most common feed. especially In rural
districts. Many experiments have
been reported which support the
theory that horses may be satisiac-
torily fed and reasonable combination
OF wholesome materials which supplies
the required nutrients In due proper
tion. In other words. protein and en-
ergy are required by the animal body
rather than any special feed. Bciiev'
Ing that more horses should be raised
and that nm economic system of feed

abundance OF nutEitlyc material was
