He graduated from the Lawrence Sci

several years. He is quite an athlete

Mr.. Smith has been up against big
corporations In such a way as TO know
the evils emanating from their influ-

the Connecticut legislature during his
political apprenticeship. At that time
he rubbed elbows with agents of cor

a lawyer. was proper. But Smith re-
fused TO be retained.
There there was the usual railroad
fight A certain. railroad wanted
"little bill" The bill would do away
with competition In railway building.
Smith led the scrap against It. The
bill did not pass.
1t was a great mystery to the rail-
road lobbyists. Here was poor young

who did up their. bill. They did not
know that Smith had been left little

not really poor at all Smith was very

The Man Behind the Cow.

If "the man behind the COW" would
do his part. no Improbable cow would
masquerade under the fictitious appella-
ton of milk cow" says +. ID. Coburn
of Kansas. She would either be sent
to the butchers block or be made to
return a profit by more intelligent care
and management. IL passeth under
standing why theft in COW should be
tolerated more than theft by human
being. In effect the loss TO the con
sumner is ia either case the same. Our
government has found IL wisdom 10

DDS for the detection and suppression
Of crime by the human family, and by
the same token why should our farm

yet outwitting their owners?
So long as cows Of this class are per
mitted in the dairy herd just so long
will there Ice dissatisfaction and fail
