Born in Kentucky.

Mr.. Vest was born in Frankfort. KY.
December s. 1880. He received his edu-
cation in the schools and colleges OF his
native State. and in 1858 moved to Mis-
souri, 10 practice law. His unusually fine
mind. his already good education, his
native wit and eIoQuence, soon won for
him a high standing among the young
lawyers of Missouri
II is said Of him that one of the most
eloquent speeches of his career was
made In defense OF an ownerless dog,
which was 10 be done away with by the

NATIVE STRENGTH
AS A STATESMAN

The key to the character OF George
Graham Vest WAS gentleness His elo-
quence was great. his wit poignant. his
satire keen. his humor original. but ever
and above all other traits his gentle
kindness was dominant. causing him
to be one Of the bestowed men ever
known to American public life.
A Kentuckian by birth and educa-
ton. a MissouTian by adoption, the ex-
perience he gained by touching elbows
with what was. in his youth. the from
tier country, gave him broad and SYM
pathetic understanding of men, and an
ability TO deal with them successfully.
From the time he entered the Senate.
In 1879. until his voluntary retirement, in
1903, he made friends daily.
His friends loved him, and his enc
mics respected him. for his name was
always synonymous with all that was
high-toned and honorable.

The Adams Law.

To the Editor of the American:
Your editorial in your issue OF
Jan. 1, 1904, anent this subie t,
was well-timed and clear. 1t knock
ed the center of the question at is
sue, viz: the repeal of retention of
the Adams which? Z So far as
observation and inquiry go in this
beat Williamson County, the law
and its effects upol the business
and morals of the community and
people are growing more satisfac-
tory and marked day by day, and
the opposition are more or less par
alyzed at the experience and out
look. Business men generally and
particularly are more than satisfied
with the workings of the law so
far. OF course we have the juggers
with us, but they will become salts
factorily fewer as the seasons come
and GO. The great thing accom-
plished is the elimination of the
saloon, and consequently the re-
moval of temptation and opportu-
nifty in it's most guided and enticing
form to the boys and youths to b.
come drunkards. The greatest pos
sible evil from the liquor traffic, the
saloon, is gone to stay. and soon
the lug traffic will follow Of its
own accord naturally and neces-
sarily. A few grumblers will re-
main, to be sure, but in time their
voices, impotent now, will lapse in
to profound silence.
On most lips are words OF praise
and commentator for the success
full operation and effects of the
Adams law and of the American for
it's wise and helpful course upon
this great moral issue.

HON. T. @. GORDON.

In presenting the name of Hon.
L. &. Gordon to our readers as a
candidate for Pictorial Represent
alive in the Lower House of the
General Assembly from Oblon,
Lake and Dyer counties, we quote
from his home paper, the Dyer
County Herald, as one who knows
him best, as follows:
We have the pleasure this week
of announcing Hon. L. G. Gordon,
candidate for Pictorial Repre-
sentative from this district. 1t is
needless to say the people of Dyers-
burg are proud of their brainy,
witty and polished lawyer. We
are always glad to honor him and
no man in the county is put for
ward more frequent than he is.
His home county will indorse him,
because they know the man. His
loyalty, patriotism, nor ability
have ever been questioned. Nor
indeed his nerve and ability as a
fighter. In times gone by he has
weakened himself politically by
lighting to the death for what he
believed to be right, and at one
time accomplished his own defeat
rather than see the regular Demo
cratic ticket weakened.
To day he offers for the Office
without a single political enemy
at home, the pride of his party
and we believe sure winner. 1t
is likely he will have no oppo-
sition.

never again be President of the

obliterate the lines marked out by
these philosophers and dwarf the

ROBERT BURNS.

January 25, 1859, in an humble
cottage near AlIoway, Kirk, not
far from Ayr, and on the banks
of Doom, Robert Burns was born.
This is, therefore, the 145th an
niversary of bis birth, the date of
which he thus recorded:
Our monarch's hindmost year but ane

Twas then blast of Janwar win

During the thirty eight years of
his life the "Janwar WIN" blew
on him pretty constantly, but it
never chilled the song in his heart.
Born in a ''clay bigging," the son
of an humble gardener, he came
into the world poor, ne lived life
of poverty for the most part, and
he died poor and in circumstances
peculiarly pathethetic. To him
indeed death seemed to come as
"The poor mans dearest friend,
The kindest and the best"
One of the shadows that dark
ened his sensitive spirit in his last

II have found the best results 10 Dc
obtained from using such grains "a
mixture of peats, oats, barley and corn,

ground very fine, and soaked for not
less than thirty hours before they are
fed. | think hogs should be kept SO
as to permit, and even to cause. them
to take a good deal OF exercise until
after they weigh more than 100 POUNDS
each. In the growing of young pigs
it is important that they should re-
ceive daily allowance Of skim milk
for six weeks or two months after
they are weaned. Skim milk is the
great flesh forming or muscle and bone
forming food; and if the young pigs
are stunted in these regards at that
time they can not be developed into
the best class Of hogs, no matter what
breed they may be of. In my juds-
ment, it is highly important that the
quality of Canadian hogs, in regard to
proportion of lean flesh, and firmness,
should be maintained and improved, If
the best customers for hog products
are to be secured and retained"

Cut Corn Stalks For Cows,

ftOafGS Da1ryflan.J
The Wisconsin experiment station
recently conducted some experiments
to ascertain the effect of cut and whole
fodder upon milk production. 1t was
found that it took 1888 pounds OF
whole stalks to produce the same
quantity of milk that was obtained by
feeding only 721 pounds of cut fodder.
But there is another item OF profit
they did not mention. 1t lies in the
use of the refuse fodder for bedding,
and the ease with which it Is carted
out in the manure. Last winter our
men hauled over 400 loads of manure
to the field as 1t was made daily. In
this was 80 acres of corn stalks cut
in half inch lengths. We had tho
help. the cutter and the power, ana
about once in five or six days enough
was cut to last that length OF time
There We're no long stalks laying about
the premises and the cows ate consld-
cradle more of the stalks than they
would if they We're uncut.
1t is much the best plan to mouse
and care for the corn fodder ana cut
it fine as above described, at least In
our opinion.

THE PEACE CONFERENCE.

notwithstanding the lamentable
truth that the Hague tribunal has been
OF late standing butt Of ridicule,
there is nothing ridiculous about it.
True enough, the nation Of the mon
arch who was its inspiration is lock-
ed in death grapple with Japan.
Great Britain ignored it when oppor-
tunity offered the conquest and acqui-
sition of South Africa. Still the eff
feet of the peace conference upon the
general opinion and thought OF tho
world has been marked and reforms
tory. When nations meet to discuss
even the hope Of a future. when the
warriors name shall be q name abb
horred," the reflection Of the action
throws a rainbow Of universal peace
above the horizon of the present.
The United States is new as a world
power and it is eminently betting its
character and it's reputation as a peace
maker that a new peace conferences
should be called together by its chief
magistrate. There are questions
bearing on the peace Of the world to
be settled and sentiment toward hui
man brotherhood to be created and
encouraged. It Is eminently fitting
that a nation that provides the widest
individual liberty and opportunity
should call the tribunal together and
it&is in the line of altruistic endeavor
that it should meet. The Hague con-
ference is not subject for ridicule,
but a foothold for hope.
