Quality In Fat Lambs.

The tlocllmaster who is raising early
winter lambs for the market can we'll
afford to cater to the demands of the
article which brings the most profit. If
the market demands fat lambs of uni
form size and weight and is willing to
pay extra for the assurance of a GER
tain number to meet their trade the
fockmaster cannot overlook the trade
demands and realize the most from his
business. Some fockmasters often
wonder why it is that the smaller
lunches of lambs often bring the high
est price on the market This comes
from the fact that these lambs have
been well cared for and properly fitted
for the market.

KILLED ON THE RAILROADS

It Is hard TO understand the compla-
cency with which the American people
tolerate the reckless disregard OF life
that may fairly be said to characterize
the railroads Of this country. says Les
lies Monthly. Each year the collected
statistics Of the dead and wounded rival

five-sixths as heavy as 1t is to-day. but
the list Of illed and wounded was little
more than half so great as the holocaust
of last year. With each accident the
neighboring community is aroused.
When an attempt is made to indict d.
rectors or president, the public smiles,
and the cynicism is justified. Yet in
nine cases out Of ten the fault Is due
to incompetency tolerated. II not coun-

When an army meets with disaster
the general may blame his subordinates,
but the nation holds him to account. In
railroading. as in war, inefficiency is a
crime, and as the general is absolutely
responsible for his command. the presi-
dent and directors must be made to an
swer to the public. The conviction Of a
single $25O00-a-year man might send a
shudder round every directors table in
the country, but also It might cut down
railroad accidents by a third.

NEW COMBINATION CAR.

d. Il. h N. ParlOr Observation Cars Are
AnsInnOvation In the West.
March 1st, the Oregon Railroad and
Navigation company will place in SER
vice on trains Z and between Spo
kane and Pendleton the new combin-
alton parlor and dining cars which
have been built expressly for those
trains. On the same date the Pull
man sleepers which have been here
tofore operated ON those trains in lieu
of parlor cars will be discontinued.
The new parlor observation cars are
an innovation in the west; in fact
there are no cars of just the same
plan i'll operation anywhere. In one
lend of the car is the kitchen, pantry
and sideboard; in the center is the
dining compartment containing seats
for eighteen people, tables on each
side being arranged FOR four people
and on the other side for two persons
each. Next to the dining room is the
smoking room, about seven feet square,
from which the mems toilet opens.
The smoking room is furnished with
luxurious leather upholstered seats and
shut off from the rest of the car by
portiere. The parlor or observation

HIS EYE ON M'KINLEY
HEHEY SAYS swINDLER HAS
LAND DEAL IN CHINA.
he Has Not Eloped With Little
Egypt" and His Wife Has Com
municated With Him.

Francis J. Heney, who is in San
Francisco, denies that Horace g. Nc
Kinley, indicted for completely in the
Oregon land frauds, eloped with
''Little Egypt and is now with her
in the orient. He declares that Nc
Kinley went to China on land deal,
that his actual whereabouts are known
and that he is under surveillance.
Heney adds that Mckinley had no
trouble of any nature with his wife.
Mrs. Mckinley also denies that her
husband has eloped. She says that
she is in constant communication with
b i'm.
Heney's statement that the where
abouts of Mckinley are known and
that he is now under surveillance will
excite widespread surprise in view of
the information given to the public
by government officials for three
months past. Over and over again it
has been stated officially that McKin-
ley was still in this country, that the
secret service men and special agents
were hot on his trail and that his ar
rest might occur any day.
Either Mckinley was allowed to es-
cape by the governments represent
atives and deliberate effort was made
to mislead the public, or else the
sleuths placed on his trail were badly
fooled. In either case Mr.. Heney's
admission that he knows where the
arch swindler is will doubtless result
in strong popular demand that the
knowledge be used to bring Mckinley
back for trial and punishment. The
news that Mckinley went to China
on land deal suggests that the thrift
ty mandarins may be given the same
opportunity to invest their savings in
bogus school land certificates that
was accorded to a number of Wiscosin
capitalists.

NOT ALL SMART.
q little Tale with q Moral which
EAch Of Us May Take Home %
Ourselves.

An ornithologist invited an ichthy-
ologist to walk in the woods with
him, writes Charles Battell Loomis,
in the Philadelphia Saturday Post,
and the ornithologist said: II suppose
you know that the crow"
II know nothing about birds"
But surely you have heard that the
cuckoo"
Il do not know hawk from a
handsaw, l am sorry to say"
Yes, but you surely have heard so
common thing as the fact that the
swallow never"
my friend, know less than moth
ing about birds"
They finished their walk, and the
ornithologist went home and said to
his wife:
THE man with whom | walked to-
day in the woods is woefully ignorant.
How can man go through life with
so little knowledge of the things about
him?"
The next day the ichthyologist invit-
ed the ornithologist to walk along the
sea-cliffs with him.
So they walked together, and on the
cliffs doltish fellow was standing.
Good morning" they said to him,
but he only stared at them, open
mouthed.
"A fooll" cried both.
And the ichthyologist said TO the
ornithologist: "Of course you know
that the blue fish Of these waters"
II know nothing about fish,"
But surely you have heard that the
swordfsh---"
Il would not know cod from kid,
I am sorry to say"
"Yes, but you surely have heard so
common thing as the fact that por-
poise never"
MY friend, know less than nothing
about fish,"
At this point the ichthyologist was
SO impressed by his friends ignorance
OF common things that he did not mind
his steps and fell off the cliffs into the
sea, and not knowing how to swim
he called to his friend for help.
ALAS, | do not know how to swim"
said the ornithologist.
More of his ignorance" said the
ichthyologist as he went down for the
second time.
But the dolt had been watching,
open-eyed, and he plunged into the sea
and, swimming out to the ichthyolo-
gist, he saved him.

Booth OF Forrest?

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUS-!Sfr. A CORE.
spondent says that Edwin Forrest and not Edwin
Booth is the greatest American actor we have had,
but the reasons he gives for such belief are not
convincing. No one denies Forests high rank
as an actor or the great vogue he had with the people
for a long period: but in comparing the relative
merits of two such actors as Forrest and Booth We
must consider them solely in the light Of their
artistic achievements.
From this point of view, II appears 10 me, there
can be but ono verdict In the minds OF discriminating
critics, In roles which called for a violent display
OF the passions and for great physical powers, such
as King Lear and Meianord, Forrest was doubtless
very powerful. but In parts Of a higher and subtler
nature, In which all the complex parts OF the human
character are brought into play and laid bare before
the spSctatcrs-an Infinitely higher and moro dim
cult task-I maintain that Edwin Booth was I'm.
measurably Forests superior.
Hamlet is such a role. and Hamlet has almost
been regarded as the highest test Of an actors art.
In Hamlet Edwin Booth was supreme. No i'm
partial critic would ever admit that Forrest. Sal
vini or Irving for a moment approached Booth in
Hamlet.

Inherent Justioe."

In his address on March 10 at the
opening Of the coal miners convention
JOHN MITCHELL said that 1t was his
Earnest hope that even those unfriendly
to labor may be satisfied that the United
Mine Workers Of America Is q sane, just,
business association, whose highest pur-
pose Is not to achieve victories by means
Of Its great strength, but rather through
the inherent justice that lies in the cause
1t represents"
Being most friendly to all sane, Just
and businesslike labor organizations,
THE SUN Is watching the development
of JOHN MITcHELL's idea OF the "inher-
emit Justice" of the cause Of the anthracite
miners. 1t seems to us that a clear
appreciation Of the principles Of inherent
justice would restrain Mr.. MITCHELL
and his radical lieutenants from pre-
cipitating q strike which is regarded as
unwise and undesirable by q large ma
jority Of the coal miners themselves.
This assertion is made or the strength
of competent information from the coal
fields. 1t certainly finds support in the
utter failure of the labor leaders to show
either cause for a strike or general
demand for a strike on the part Of the
miners. The movement Is entirely the
work OF the leaders, and in large part
Of MITCHELL himself.
We are unable to see the inherent
Justice" Of orders to stop the work Of
those who are reasonably content with
the conditions and results Of their work,
or Of forcing into idleness, poverty and
suffering those who need the wages
which their work brings them. JOHN
MITCHELL's notions Of inherent Justice
in this particular case are at variance
with those of the American people. He
is playing a large game, and there Is
some reason for the belief that he is
playing it too much in the interest OF
one JOHN MITCHELL and too little for
the best interests Of the coal miners.
He also plays it In seeming indifference
to the rights Of the public.
Mr.. MITCHELL still has time to broaden
his views on the subject Of inherent
Justice" Thus far he has failed to
justify his position.
