SCARCITY Of CIV airy Mounts.

United States, upward Of 100000. but
the particular type adapted for cavalry
is especially scarce. The country from
end to end has been secured by BRUSH
German and French army offfcers, ana
they cannot find any good cavalry
horses UP to the European standard for
the army, fifteen and quarter to six
teen hands, weighing from 1,2oO to 1,eOO
with beauty, fine vigorous action, and
good conformation. Such horses only
come from good breeding. An occa-
sional sport may be found among the
trotters and the range horses This
cavali horse is type that our Ameri-
can breeders should produce. ALI
Europe wants thousands of them at
high prices. We have some very good
mares-trotters, thoroushbreds and
saddlers-that, when bred to the right
type of imported German and French
coaL stations and hackneys, will pro-
duce cavalry horses. The market is
worth breeding for, and the states that
develop this type of horse in large
numbers will find customers to rival
the harness horse trade.

Money we'll spent is not extrava-

The same is true in the aggregate Of

DELIVERING THE UNION VOTE.

to their sorrow. that the tor vote
doesn't deliver. Dave Hill tried to
catch it In his public ownership of coal

to catch 1t last year by using socialists,
single takers and union leaders as cam

that corporations were using undue in
iiuence to coerce their employees, when
as a matter Of fact managers and en-
ployes everywhere were walking on
eggs, as it were, fearing that they
would do something to arouse the sus-
picions of their workmen and drive
them into the Bryan camp.
Labor leaders will come forward in
every campaign and offer to deliver
the labor vote. This thing has been
done in Marshalltown local politics but
the way labor voted was a sore dis
to the candidates who had
paid for the delivery.
AS a matter of fact the labor vote is
very suspicious Of its leaders and la
borers are constantly on the lookout
for the union leader who would sell
them out Laboring men will decide
upon the issues very much or
men do, but. of course, will lae for
what seems to offer the most to the in
terests of their class as every other
class of mon will do. I'm a union meet

tainted as "scab" he'll do very I'M

ligion are two things he tries to keep
out of his union and they are the two
subjects upon which he comes the
nearest to independent thinking. And
then in the seclusion Of the Australian
ballot booth, he is a free man. 1t is
this secret ballot system that stops
the delivery of the labor vote. Such
efforts as the SANDER of the miners
are as weak in judgment as
they are vicious in motive.
