A Lovely Row.


Roms time ago Hon. James School
craft Sherman, chairman Of the Re-
publican congressional committee. sent
forth pathetic appeal to Republicans
for one dollar contributions to the Re-
publican campaign fund, and 1t was ar
hstaeally arranged that President Roose-
welt should drop the nrst dollar into
the hat in most ostsptstious manner.
At any rate, it was made to appear
that he whacked up the FIRST dollar OF
the dsddies. OF course only fools were
deceived by any such performance. for
sensible people know that the great,
bloated trusts will furnish money to
Brother Sherman by the hundred thou
sands Of dollars. That he is not de-
pSndipg Oh dollar contributions is clear
ly demonstrated by the feet, according
to later dispatches, that he has discoy-
cred that Hon. George Bruce Captei-
you, postmaster general and chairman
Of the Republican national committee,
has the snug surplus OF 100000 left
over from the campaign Of 1904. IT
seems that Sherman's palms are Itch
Ing to get hold OF that surplus, but that
Cortelyou is determined that Sherman
shall not have it. Perhaps Cortelyou
intends to return it to the widows and
orphans from whom the Insurance
thieves stole ", 1t will be remembered

Gompers Not Invited.

Hon. James Schoolcraft Sherman,
chairman of the Republican congress

ion that President Samuel Gompers of
the American Federation of Labor
helped Congressman Littlefield by

has declared var on Sherman. Has
anybody heard of Brother Sherman in

Mr.. Vice President Fairbanks Wall.
In recent speech in New Hampshire
Mr. Vice President Fairbanks spoke
these doleful words:
We live in an era of progress, u period
Of many rapid and marked changes in
our social and industrial life AS we con-
template our foreign commerce we are
amazed and Inundated to observe that
the greatest share of our commerce with
foreign countries is carried under the
protection of alien flags. Less than ID
per cent of it is carried in our vessels.
This is certainly out of harmony with
the spirit of American expansion. The
United States does not need to take sec
ond place to any nation in carrying her
own commerce upon seas. There Is no
good reason why we should not have a
merchant marine worthy of the world 8
respect. AS it stands today. it is SO in
significant as to be an object of con-
tempt and derision among the great COM
mercial carrying powers.
The vice president ought to have had
the candor to state that when the Re-
publicans came into power in 1861,
after almost half a century of unbro-
ken Democratic rule, we had the Sec
ond largest merchant marine in the
world and that 1t was then growing
by leaps and bounds, but that forty
five years Of almost unbroken Repub-
lican rule have driven our flag from the
high seas, where it is seldom seen ex-
cept at the masthead Of man-of-war.
This is reason enough for turning the
Republicans out.

VI uSlS anu corporations were unuuclnS
the Roosevelt campaign, whereupon
the president declared it was lie.
Then Parker's informant went back on
him, and the judge couldn't prove the
truth which he had told, for that it
was truth was demonstrated by the
subsequent developments. 1t gave
Judge Parker severe jolt. Now he is
indicated. 1t is said also that when
the ugly exposures were made as to
life insurance contributions the presi-
dent declared that they should be re-
funded, but the older Republican heads
vetoed that scheme on the grounds
that the committee had no money, but
the committee has 100000 surplus and
should forthwith repay the plundered
widows and orphans or should be sued
for the money.
The Viewpoint.
It is a well known fact that artists
are very particular as to the way and
place Of hanging their pictures SO that
they may show to the best advantage.
Much depends on the viewpoint in 9th
er matters also. including politics. Be-
fore the election In Maine, while the
Republicans were dreaming Of old time
majorlties, Mr.. Secretary Taft, the
soulful Beveridge, Uncle Joe and all
the rest Of the Republican spellbinders,
great and small, declared vociferously
and with one accord that Roosevelt is
the ISSUE" thereby expecting to give
the president and his party great
boost. But when the returns were all
In and the Republican candidates, like
Little Bopeep's sheep. were dragging
their tails behind Them" because the
majority in the state was cut down
from 27,0O0 to 1000, they at once
changed their tune and asserted that
prohibition was the issue. Wherefore?
Because, II they stated the truth when
they claimed that Roosevelt was the
issue, then that eminent Republican
received an awful Jolt in the Maine
election. In the case Of Mr.. Secretary
Taft, Senator Beveridge and Uncle Joe
It is true, as In the case Of other folks,
that hind sight Is better than fore
sight. The bald truth is that Repub-
licanism and Rooseveltism are both on
the wane. and the whole world knows
It. There is no escaping that conclu-
sion. The pendulum swung so far to
one side in 1904 that it will naturally
swing back to the other side. In fact,
It has already begun to swing back
and perhaps will give us the house this
fall. II SO, we are almost certain to
elect both president and house in 1908.
And in figuring on the greatly reduced
Republican majorities in Maine let it
not be forgotten that all the Repub-
lican big guns shelled the woods up
there.

The cabinet is certainly in most
muddled condition. There are nine

Scared.

The Missouri Republican leaders are
badly scared. All their loud boasting
a. to what they will accomplish this
year Is in the nature Of whistling to
keep their courage up. They are in
such straits that they have concluded
the only chance they have for success
Ia bE holding fast to the coattails of
President Roosevelt. So recently the
leaders In Missouri got together and
resolved that President Roosevelt must
again be their standard bearer, not
withstanding the fact that he has sol

viii not again be a candidate for the
presidency. AS there has been hurry

this action OF the Republican leaders
In the state may be construed as q
slap in the face of those aspiring
statesmen. Why did the Missouri Re-
publican bei!Wethers make such haste
to declare for ROOSEVELT One answer
is that many who did this thing belong
to the bread and butter brigade and
thought that by so doing they could
hold on to the public teat at least till
March 4. 1909. Another reason is that
they are anxious to utilize the presi-
dents personal popularity In order to

THE CALF.
Most Rigid Selection Should Be Made
In Adding to Herd.

The most rigid selection, according
to dairy standards, should be made
among the calves as they come into
profit, those being retained which
will raise the average performance of
the herd When 1t is necessary to in
troduce a new sire, he should be
of the same type and personal quail
tiles already determined upon as the
ideal for the herd. Constant records
should be kept of the work of every
individual animal, in order that rea-
sonable treatment may insure the
greatest profit, and this is only pos
sible when the owner Is personally
familiar with the characteristics and
performance of every COW.
Personal comfort, cleanliness, light
air exercise and water. are as neces
sary as feed. Frequent examinations
should be made by competent in
spector to make sure of the health
of the herd, and any animals found
suffering from infectious or conta
gious diseases should be Immediately
, removed to hospital stalls for proper
care. With such reasonable treat
ment pure bred nerd will prove
itself the best investment that the
intelligent farmer can make, and will
be a source of constant satisfaction
and pride.

WATER AND EARTH ROADS.
Perfect Drainage Needed TO Keep
Roadbed in Good Condition.

without water 1t would be possible
10 build earth roads and keep them in
repair at small expense. In humid
localities the presence of water makes
II very difficult to keep any kind OF an
earth road intact. Unless the drain
age is perfect, the earth road will be
constantly needing repairs, and some
of these repairs will have to be very
extensive ones. Prof. Ira Baker, OF
the University of Illinois, has made
close study of earth roads for
good many years. He expresses the
belief that every country road should
have its drainage assisted by drain
tile laid in one of the bitches to
depth of three or four feet below the
surface. II the tile can be placed on
each side Of road, IL will doubtless
prove even more effective than If laid
on one side of road. The latter
course will, however, generally prove
effective If the road is constructed
with that arrangement in view. 1t
would be better If the tile could be
get a fair flow of water the grade
the cost of placing tile there is so
great that It is better to use the side
bitches. The professor says that to
placed in the middle of the road, but
should not be less than one inch in
30 feet. The cost Of ru.ting in i've
inch tile varies from $500 to $3.50 per
mile, including material Whether or
not tile is used, side bitches are nec-
| essary. This needs to be said be-
cause some people hold the opinion
that where tile Is used side bitches
are not necessary and that the road
can be nat This kind of road will
not do in a rainy country. The
bitches, however, need not be deep,
| but should be broad This will give
gentler flow to the water If the
bitches are broad rather than deep 1t
will be possible to have an easy slope
toward the road. This will prevent
serious accidents from vehicles get
| ting into the bitches. Such arrange
ment will often save loaded wagons
from being broken. At every little
| distance along the side bitches, out

will not have to be carried for long
distances in the side bitches. II the
water cannot quickly get out of the
side ditch, its volume must increase
the further II goes, and deep channels
will be quickly cut in the bottoms and
sides of the bitches. This means
damage to the road from erosions and
caving-in. The crown of the road
should be sufficiently hard to insure
the rapid running off Of the water into
the side bitches. II It can sink into
the crown of the road 1t will soften
II to such an extent that It can be
cut up by wheels. To keep the road
in good condition, II is necessary to
keep the crown as inncrvious 10 wa.
ter as possible. For keeping the sur.
faces of earth roads in good condi
ton, Prof Baker recommends drag
ging by means of railroad rail, heavy
timber or split log,
