An Emporia man says that the
people are too careless about wa
tering their horses in the sum
mer time. A man will let his horse
stand in the sun for hours and
never think of watering him
while during the same interval
of time he has made half dozen
trips to the soda fountain or the
ice cooler Most of the suffering
which the animals undergo is
not because people lack HUMANE
ty but because they are careless.
A horse should be watered at
least three times a day, and al
lowed to drink as much cool
fresh water as he wants The
trough should be emptied each
time the horse is watered, and
then reflled so that the animal
will not be compelled to drink
warm water which has stood in
the heat for several hours. EN-

An exchange gives the follow
ing statistics concerning the in
crease in population: According
to statistics, which may be ems
tirely reliable, but are probably
not far from the truth there are
81 deaths in the world every min
minute and from SO to 20 births
That makes A, O2O- deaths in the

the number of births at 50 1-2)
A; 10 births. In other words
the population of the world is
increasing at the rate of $50 an
hour or 3, 600 a day. What is
significant about this is that
/, 314, 900 is about the number
of immigrants into the United
States last year The rest of the
world is at standstill, just hold
ing its own, but not increasing
its population at all, while the
United States is not only adding
to it's inhabitants their natural in
crease, but absorbing more than
the entire gain of the world as
well.

Kansas City STOCK 7 ards, Sept.
II. 1907
Railroads are better able to
handle live stock this year than
in any recent year, and as cattle
on the ranges have matured ear
ly, heavy runs have been the
rule the last two weeks. The
attractive prices heretofore have
been another inducement toward
early marketing, and the big
runs we are now getting are
probably at the expense of Oct.
sufficient to take everything, al
though receipts were 10000 head
last week, including 1900
calves, and the supply this week
promises to be even greater,
80, 900 here yesterday and 1000
today, including 5000 calves in
the two days Corn fed steers
are steady and the years high
price was paid yesterday, S7.2
fore prime steers, top 500 to-
day. Good fed steers bring $500
to $685., warmed up steers 1926
to $500. Western grass steers
have held almost steady recently
because of a good demand from
both local killers and for ship
ment to eastern butchers, bulk
selling at 81. 90 to 81. S5, few up
to S5.15. Cows and heifers have
suffered more than anything
else, standing 80 to 40 cents
lower than two weeks ago includ-
ing loss of 10 cents today
Bulk of the cows sell at s.. 40 to
1926, heifers $3.50 to $500, al
though fancy fed cows sell up to
S4.75, and heifers 1913. Bulls
bring S2.35 to $500, calves 25
cents lower than last week, at
1913 to So so Stockers and
feeder trade has been very
heavy lately, 1850 car loads to
country points last week. Prices
are 10 to 25 cents lower than a
week ago, and shading downward
this week, feeders at 1913 to
1925. stockers $500 to $46O.
Hog supplies are moderate,
but equal to the run a year ago at
this time. Supply is 10000 head
today, market to 10 lower on
bulk of sales, S6.05 to S. 20, al
though the top, $6.35, is same as
yesterdays top. While fuctua-
tions are constant, the net
change from week to week is
small. Receipts have been small
fore some weeks now, and as
packers have have time to get
rid of stocks of products accum
ulated during period of heavy
runs in the summer, they should
become more active contenders
from now on, which may offset
the adverse effects of increased
receipts likely to develope.
Sheep supplies are small this
week, after heavy run last
week. Prices declinded Is to 25
cents last week, but smaller runs
have resulted in stronger mar
ket this week Lambs range
from 1878 to S7.35, including all
classes of natives, and best west
ems Feeding lambs are worth
Sc. so to $3.50. Wethers and
yearlings bring $5.35 to $500,
ewes for killers $500 to $5.35.
Feeding yearlings bring $5.45 to
S.. 70, and extraordinary prices
are being paid for breeding ewes,
$500 to S6.75 paid this week for
yearling range ewes

The following from an ex-
change will give an idea Of the
amount of money spent each year
on the non-necessities of life:
Not counting the $500, 900 worth
of tobacco we burn, chew or
snuff daily, we get away with 49,
1920 gallons daily of corn and
rye whisky last year, not count
ing the 1893, 688 gallons of fruit
brandies; and we paid to the
government $15S, 900, 900 revenue
on all of it, being an increase of
IL million gallons of spirits and
10 million dollars in revenue
Lots of old soaks in this country
Of beer the total consumption
last year was SO, 546,111 barrels
or 1894, 474 barrels more than in
1906 From beer the revenue
amounted to $50, 568, 81S, or ST.
800, 900 more than last year AS
to beer there is no doubt as to
the consumption of every gallon
of it for drink. A gallon and a
half per capita of spirits last
year.

and prejudices were all against Ameri-
can retention of the islands, and he had
been especially frank in saying so. He
had even expressed himself in that
way at a public banquet. But the
president, it seems, did not mind that.
He cared not SO much for the mans
opinions as for the man himself
The way in which the selection was
made is as characteristic of President
Mckinley as anything that has been
related of him. 1t seems that during
the fall of 1899 the president was trav-
cling on a railroad train through the
Western Reserve. Several of his in
innate friends were with him, and the
conversation turned toward the Phil
ippines. which just at the moment were
occupying very prominent place on
the map. Aguinaldo's army and or
ganized government had been wiped
out, but there had been left in their
stead condition of discomfort and dis

picion that he had been recalled by a
public announcement of his intention
to return.
1t was not until the governor had re-
turned to the United States and pre-
scented his case to congress, before
committees, in speeches and in peri
odicals that he became the living ng-
- in public life that he is today.
There was something about his frank
ness that carried conviction, as there
is an indescribable something in his
manner that makes every one who
meets him devoted admirer ever aft
er. Few among those who have been
connected with the pacif1cation of the
Philippines have escaped imputations
as to their motives, but Taft is one of
them. His official acts have been as
sailed vigorously by the opposition in
the senate, and his mistakes have been
pointed out with all the acrimony of
bitter. debate, but no one has attempted
to arraign him.
In 1902 Governor Taft was in Ameri-
ca again, this time on his way to Rome.
General James F. Smith and Major
John B. Porter, representing the mill
tary authorities. and Bishop Thomas
O'Gorman, the learned Paulist who had
recently been appointed to the diocese
of Sioux Falls. S. D.. were the other
delegates. Before he sailed the mem
bers of his class at Yale gave him a
complimentary dinner. At the time of
their annual class reunion they had
sent a telegram to Manila assuring
Taft that they had not forgotten him
and never should. He was sick at the
time, and the fraternal message cheer
ed him wonderfully. Now. in his after
dinner speech he confessed that it had
moved him greatly to learn that they
still thought of him occasionally. Then,
as If moved by an irresistible impulse,
the class president broke out: For
gotten you! Confound you, Bill Taft,
we all love you'll" And every man
among them said, Amen
That is the keynote to Secretary
Taft's character. That explains why
it is that the little brown men of the
Philippines have christened him af-
fectionately saint Taft" Such men
are born to be leaders among their fell
lows. That seems to have been the
role indicated for Taft even in his
youth. Every man who was with him
at college bears testimony to the as
tendency he had over them He went
to Yale physically perfect-six feet two
of him from the ground up, the arms
and shoulders of Hercules and a big
head cast in an intellectual mold. He
was noted as wrestler and was a
lover of all manly sports. He ranked
very high in his intellectual attain
ments, graduating second in a class of
100. and he was the salutatorian and
class orator.
The time came when a man of Taft's
caliber was needed at Washington. He
was made secretary of war and was
sent almost Immediately to straighten
out the tangle in tho Panama business.
1t was the first time in the history of
the republic that ! member of the
cabinet had been assigned to a diplo-
matte errand in a foreign country
while still retaining his post at home.
Since then he has become the handy
man of the administration.

order that was more difficult to handle
IF L had the right man. the presl-
dent was saying, Il should send him
there right now and put as much of
civil government right in under the
military as the situation could stand.
l would, if could, give them something

He grew quite enthusiastic over the
matter and finally began to describe the
man that would suit him. Its only a
question of the right man =" he declared.
He must be law student, law
maker, a law executor and a juriSt. He
must be young enough to accept big
risk and capable of meeting many a
trying situation that no one can fore
see. He must be magnetic and model
in his private life. More than that, he
must be known to me personally, so
that can be sure that he is all of these
things"
1t SO happened that Judge Taft had
