By far the most extensive stock
feeding in this county is being carried
on in the vicinity of the thriving town
OF Frederick. Daulton i Howell have
been the largest feeders of cattle.
After shipping out ten cars Of fat cat
tie they are still feeding 100 head. a
few figures will show that they know
business. The last four cars
they shipped averaged 1915 per steer
and the price obtained vas 81 cents.
steer netted, after deductine
freight commission and other minor
expenses, including shrinkage, a little
$40. Ace Webster, another feed
has 55 steers in his yards: and W.
Hicks has 40 head on full feed
In the sheep line F. N. Joslin has been
dong something. He has shipped ont
S'o fat sheep already, and has 2oOO
more feeding in his pens. He has
sold lambs as high as $3.50.

the Associated Charities. either direct or
through the relief committee. the man or
woman with a mite for this noble purpose,
either in cash or supplies, will be certain
of scoring the best results. And ii is all
ways to be borne in mind that the Associat-
ed Charities seeks nothing more eagerly
than information regarding the condition
of the poor people. Even though the de-
mands upon its resources strain the bank
account. it wants to be told of fresh cases
to be disclosed. 1t would of course be glad
to know that every case of deprivation or
suffering had been brought to light and was
in way of being relieved. And to this
end active volunteer work by the char
itable-minded citizens will accomplish graft
flying results.
But all such work is only temporary re-

in every large city is to find the people who
can help themselves if given the chance
and then to find openings for their honest
labor. Very often some of the most salts

The Statehood Fight.

The statehood bill is before the Senate,
with the right of way, by vote of two to
one. Whether the debate is to be long or
short is question. We are told that there
is no disposition to filibuster against the
measure, and this is encouraging for vote
in reasonable time. Both Congress and
the country are familiar with the general
proposition, and protracted discussion at
this time would hardly be illuminating.
The fight comes over the union of Arizona
and New Mexico. Why should they not be
united? Look at their history. their slow
growth as territories and their population.
They have been the most backward of all
our territories. They are today In anything
but a promising condition when statehood
and it's obligations are considered. Think
upon one point alone. and what 1t diseicses.
1t is to be required that state officers must
speak the English language. and that the
public schools of the state shall always be
conducted in EngishH' This refers to the
large Mexican population of the new state.

The Subway in Midwinter.

New York's new subway fully justified it.
self Tuesday night and yesterday, when the
city swept by a storm of wind, sleet
and snow, rendering surface travel we'll
nigh impossible. The underground-trolley
lines suffered because their traction rails
were coated with ice and the cars could not
make Roadway, while the elevated lines
were tied up because the third-rail con-
ductors were ice-sheeted and rendered use
less So that after blockades had become
common the public resorted to the under
ground road, which was soon tested to its
capacity. 1t met the demand without diff
Guilty. Regardless of the raging of the
storm above these subterranean tracks
were clear and the cars were dispatched
on schedules wi. little or no variation.
Such resource in time of emergency is
great advantage to a city. especially one
shaped like New York, with a maximum
of dependence upon the transportation
routes. 1t is only in these pinches that the
modern city dweler realizes the extent to
which his comfort and business convenience
rest upon the car lines. During the great
blizzard of the late eighties and that of
seven years ago the paralysis of the traffic
caused enormous losses in the business
world. New York is in a position to suffer
heavily from travel suspension of very
few hours, and it will probably not require
further demonstration of the value of the
subway in these emergencies to cause the
community to strain all efforts to duplicate
the present system of underground roads
and to provide branches which will prac-
tically duplicate the surface system of lines,
at least SO far carrying capacity is con-
cerned.

.'set In their ways" and neither the Amer
lean language nor American life has -four
ishe6 in that atmosphere.
It is complained that both politics and
sectionalism are operating in the contro-
versy Politics-sometimes unnecessarily
operates in all of our public affairs. 1t
has always cut figure in our statehood
fights. And sectionalism. too, has played
its part in them The slavery question was
formerly prominent. and. later, the silver
question has influenced matters. But
slavery is dead, and the silver question has
of recent years received such staggering
blows that its front is no longer terrible.
What there may be of sectionalism in this
controversy therefore is no more than In
heres in the map of the country. The OBJ
lection is not that Arizona and New Mexico
lie in the southwest and border on the
old stronghold of silver, but that they are
thinly settled and, comparatively speaking,
poor in resources. Nevada, though little
fellow, is monumental as a warning in this
matter.
The people of New Mexico object to los
ing the name. But what's in a name?
Statehood by any other name should be
welcome. and will do as much good.

The Charity Funds.

Appeals for funds for the relief of the
poor at this critical season have been is
sired by both the Associated Charities and
the citizens relief committee and il is
gratifying TO note that the public is re-
spending generously. In order that there
may be no misunderstanding il is well to
explain that these are in no respec; rival
agencies, working at cross purposes, but
are essentially Identical in aim and to a
very large extent in personnel They are
cooperative in the best sense The relief
committee is an unofficial body of we'll
known people who annually undertake the
collection of funds for charity That is

Jerome.

District Attorney Jerome has sounded
note in New York which should produce
results. The way to conquer vice, he de-
clares, is to enforce the laws against it.
Where the laws are adequate vice must

Ing enforcement will reveal the defects and
point the way to the true remedy. There
is nothing simpler than this, and it applies
to affairs, city, state and national. 1t is
often the case that the whole difficulty lies
In the neglect of a remedy which is at hand.
AS rule we have laws enough. but many
of them are either indifferently enforced. or
are not enforced at all. Mr. Jerome is a
plain-spoken man, of undoubted courage
and high character, and is lit leader in

"On With the Dance"
the Cincinnati Enquirer.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
If Washington is going to have an inau-
guration ceremony at all it should have
a good one. 1t will cost great deal of
money, of course; but the money will not
have been burned or buried. 1t will be paid
out for things, and stimulate trade. And
perhaps after the Inauguration it will be in
hands where it will do more good than it
could ever have done in the hands where it
was before the event.
Why turn the inauguration ball out of
doors? How are the dancers going TO
harm the old pension bureau? When it
was new Phil Sheridan said the worst
thing against it was that it was fireproof.
And what is so sacred about the rotunda
of the Capitol that the citizens who own ii
may not cut pigeon wing" or dance the
Mobile buck there if they want to? No
body would know the difference next morn
ing. This is a time for merriment. Let
nobody hold back. 1t is the national Mardi
Gras. Does anybody ask what the occa-
sion is? Why, of course
Teddys elected. Isn't that enough?

The Port Arthur Sea Campaign.

Togo and Kamamura are under severer
fire now than they were at any time during
the operations before Port Arthur. Their
strategy, we are told, was poor. and they
were not half as much alive as they should
have been. They stood off too far. They
would risk nothing but a few of the
smaller craft They should have steamed
boldly in and tackled both the Russian
ships and the land batteries, and had it all
over with the foe in short order. Had they
done that the long siege would have been
avoided and thousands of lives saved.
This sounds familiar. These Japanese
sailors are no better than our own. Samp-
son was just as stupid and as much at
fault at Santiago, and was roundly lectured
for it in this same vein. He, too, stood on.
and would risk nothing from the land bat
teries. He had no big ships to spare, and,
besides, had orders not to risk anything in
mere maneuvers. But the strategists at
distance grew very impatient Cervera was
inside, and the thing to do was to go in
and tackle him. Moving up and down in
front of the harbor's mouth looked like
sleepy and timid performance to those who
wanted the whole thing over in a fifty.
Even Dewey was not spared. What sort
of tactics warranted the calling off for a
nibble at biscuit and sip of grog? Sup
pose the Spaniards. granted that breathing
spell, had rallied and come up stronger
upon the renewal of the fight?
And yet how stands the record? Dewey
men. refreshed with a bite to eat, returned
to work and finished the enemy, and that
was what Dewey's orders called for. Moth
ing flying the Spanish flag was afioat in
that harbor after he got through. Sampson
risked nothing until the enemy came out,
and then he was as fit as a fiddle. Cervera
was done for in couple of hours, and had
another Spanish fleet appeared that same
afternoon Sampson would have been as
ready for it. He filled his orders to the
letter. and did not lose a ship.
So with Togo and Kamamura. They were
sent to Port Arthur to destroy the Russian
fleet, and after eleven months everything
in that quarter that flew the Russian flag
is at the bottom. 1t looks like success, and
they look like very capable sailors. The
proof of the pudding is in the eating The
work at Port Arthur tastes good at Tokyo.

Universal Experience.

The Christmas toy is broken;
The picture book is torn;
And many a merry token
Is spotted, Clipped and worn.
The little folk are turning
A-weary from their play.
And even now are yearning
For some new holiday.
Amid his state and glory
The mighty captain signs.
While people tell the story
Of how he gained the prize
And with renewed endeavor
He turns to future things.
So life goes on forever
With children and with kings.

The cars government made mistaka

against further popular agitation of polit-
zeal questions at the same time that it
made public the reform ukase. The gov
eminent should have trusted the conces-
sions In the imperial decree to quiet the
agitation or to rob the agitation of any
dangerous features. The autocratic habit.
however. had to assert itself after SO much
compromising with the reform spirit and
the foolish warning against further agita-
ton was the result.
