WANTS To. BUT CAN'T.

During n of the recent spasms Of
contri ion, says the Sioux Falls Press,
Senator Kittredge made a b>lated
bid for public favor by asserting his
desire to witness the repeal of the
tariff on lumber, saying:
IF it were within my power to in
troduce a bill putting lumber on the
free list | would do SO at once, but all
such measures must originate in the
house and it is not within my power
to introduce such a bill"
If the senator could discover himself
in the attitude of favoring some re
form within his reach, the practical
effect of his good intentions would not
be wasted in vain desire : some boon
for which his constituents have prayed
that is not removed from his grasp by
the constitution and the laws.
1t has been suggested that those with
whom he shares the adverse verdict of
the people OF his state-kepresenta-
tives Burke and Martin-now occupy
ing seats in the chamber that origi-
mates the kind of legislation he is anx-
ious to vote fortnight yield to earn
est solicitation from him and introduce
a bill calling for the transfer of lum
Der from the duty list to the free list.
Messrs. Burke and Martin ought to
be glad to assist to that extent their
co-laborer in the vineyard of the ma
chine and enable him to make good
his great desire in behalf of the prairie
jewellers of his state.

some man who thinks his friends are
filled with green and yellow fires OF envy
because he has purchased an automobile.
The friends in the case need defence.

jealous of the prosperity of their friends
there are many who rejoice in the good
luck which enables other people to pur-
chase desirable worldly possessions.

Sta n d ard and Morgan.

There was a good sprinkling of the
American trotter and a few Morgan
horses exhibited. The fact that these
two breeds were classed together gave
Prof. Carlyle, who judged all the horses,
considerable trouble. The Morgan type
looked best to him, however, and he tied
the ribbons accordingly. While there
was not big show in this class it had
lots of quality and we doubt if ever bet
ter lot of stuff was shown in this class at
our state fair.

j. L. McElroy, Prince. Newsboy, Nor
gan stallion, was awarded first, Major
Weitzel second, and Irvingheart third.
There was great deal of criticism over
the awards in this class. The first prize
stallion was blocky type of the Morgan
horse, and perhaps no just criticism could
he made on this award inasmuch as the
Morgan and standardized were classed
together. The second prize horse was a
very pretty little horse, weighing about
900 pounds. Inasmuch as we have been
urging more size in the American trotter
this decision was greatly criticised by all
breeders of this class. The third prize
horse had size and conformation and
should have been placed ahead of Major
Weitzel, in fact it was a surprise to many
that Major weitzel got a look-in in class
of this kind.

Under the heading of Horse Breeding

Horse Breeding in Ontario.
A copy of REPORT of the Special In
vestigation on Horse Breeding in the
Province of Ontario" Canada, for the
year 1906, published by the Ontario de-
partment of agriculture is before us,
and an interesting document it is. This
Especial Investigation" is based on the
proposition that the Canadian govern
ment purposes improved conditions for
horse breeding and that Improvements
can best be made by first knowing the
conditions which are to be improved.
1T was therefore decided by the min
lister of agriculture that before undertake
ing any comprehensive plan for the i'm
provement of horse breeding, it would be
wise to procure more complete informa-
ton upon which conclusions might be
based. 1t was felt that detailed and &C.
curate information along the following
lines should be obtained before any COM
prehensive policy should be adopted
looking to the general improvement of
the horse industry in Ontario.
81. What conditions have affected or
are affecting the quality and number of
stations and brood mares, in the various
sections of the Province, and if the eff
feet is for good, whether or not the same
conditions could be applied in other Sec
tions; and if the conditions have not a
good effect what could be done to remove
them.
"2. What class of horses can most
profitably be raised in different sections
of the Province, under the natural con-
ditions found in those sections.
"3. The system of syndicating, and
any other plan at present adopted in On
tario, other than private ownership.
~. The views of horsemen generally
as to the advisability of a Stallion In
spection Act.
SIS. Suggestions from those interested
in the horse business, as to what can be
done to improve conditions of the horse
business generally.
"For the purpose of obtaining this in
formation, the legislature was asked to
make an appropriation, which was done
at the session of 1906, and the following
plan of work was adopted:
1.-The counties of the Province were
divided into eight districts, and two in
spectors, one to represent light horses,

Nonsensicai Textb o o ks.

A successful young woman journalist
was lately telling how she got her edu-
cation in newspaper writing. "ln the
textbook of rhetoric at school," said she,
1--WE were taught that every piece OF
writing should have first an introduce
ton, then body, then conclusion.
Full of this idea l began writing for
newspapers. The first thing the editor
did was to strike out my introduction.
The next thing he did was to strike out
the conclusions. He left only the body
and-cut that down till not much was
left of it. Now find that the rhetoric
l learned at school did me more harm
than good"
The experience of the young lady is
that of all college educated individuals
who undertake journalism. The college
graduate is nothing if not modestly con-
fident of his own ability to write any
thing from an able editorial on finance
to a brilliant piece of war correspond
ence describing great battle in scien-
tific military terms. He finds his mis-
take when he enters actual journalistic
life, and discovers that after two years of
chasing fires and police court items he
has scarcely as yet touched the outer
fringe of real journalism. He has far
less confidence in his ability to write an
able editorial than he had before he had
ever done line of newspaper work.
The first thing a person entering
either journalism or literature is obliged
to do is to unload most of the rubbish
of grammar and rhetoric he learned at
school. If with the practiced eye of
the trained writer he afterward looks
through the textbook of rhetoric or lit
erature he finds it a volume of nonsense
mostly. The textbooks of grammar and
rhetoric contain page after page detin-
ing things that do not need a definition,
making the pupil stuff his head with
numbering rules that are much better
left off.
The way to write is to write. Plunge
into the middle of what you have to say
Study carefully the words you use. See
that they express exactly your meaning;
no more and no less. you can give
humorous, pathetic, picturesque turn to
your thoughts, so much the better.
Make your language as striking as pos
sible without offending the moral or
aesthetic sense. But no rules of rhetoric
in heavens name, no rules of rhetoric |!
You will unconsciously work out for
yourself your own rules, and those are
the only ones that suit your case.-Ex-
change.

houses and all other good things that
tend toward their own comfort and
also toward the general beauty and
grace OF living. Automobiles do not do
this. They are public denominations.
They menace life; they offend the eye
and revolt the senses. have no doubt
that many of this mans friends have had
their aggressive distaste rather than their
envy aroused by the motor he has pur-
chased. Everything connected with a
motor is hideous and the whole business
smells bad, and every additional motor
car in New York is an addition to the
city's ugliness and bad air.
What wonder, therefore, that on pur-
chasing one man gets many unpleasant
frank opinions from his friends? have,
for instance, no objection to the purchase
by any friend of an amiable little lap dog,
but II he brought an evil-visaged, ill
smelling and dangerous wolf through the
streets l should find some cause for criti-
cism. The automobile is on the same
plane as the wolf.
The person who has a pet wolf may
like him immensely, but he can't expect
other people to feel the same way about
it.
The motor car, to any mind with peace
and poetry in it, is the most horrible in
vention of modern times. Its effect or
the human race is horrible. The people
who ride in motors are increasing daily
in ugliness. The faces of the women are
getting an unspeakable metallic hardness
the sport is brutalizing, drying and
soaring the faces of men.
The pedestrians suffer, too. The con
slant outwatch to save life and limb or
the streets of New York does not tend tx
soften and beautify the faces of men ant
women. In few years, when the worlt
is fuller still of automobiles, the race viii

Value of Fairs.

The rural spirit has for years been a
promoter of agricultural fairs and live
stock shows. We believe they are a nee
essity in promoting better methods of
farming and breeding and are a great
value to the farming classes socially.
alongside of our agricultural colleges.
They are schools of comparison where
one article or one animal or breed are
shown to he better than others, they
show the progress we are making or not
making as the case may be. In speaking
of fairs the Daily Journal of this city
very ably says:
1T is good sign for Oregon that the
late fair at Salem is everywhere acknow-
lodged to have been the best in the his
tory of the state A fair is a civiizer.
1t is powerful adjunct of progress. 1t
is effective in awakening inspiration for
producing superior things. The true Sc

which one product, one article or one
method is shown to be better than others.
corresponding incentive to discover and
utilize something better we would still be
living in caves and eating nuts and raw
flesh in the primitive wilderness. A sure
means of development is to inspire rival
ry, and that is what the competitive ex-
hibits at the state fair or any other fair
do. This is universally recognized, and
is in fact the reason for state fairs, expo
sitions and other places where there are
competitive displays. In the older East
ern states it is so well understood that
the annual fairs are standard adjunct
of state life, with universal attendance.
and wide appreciation of their value to
the commonwealth. For these and many
other obvious reasons, the results at
Salem are gratifying and should be made
the basis for future improvement, with a
determination that each years fair shall

The report shows that these points of

ed by the investigators, both the good
and the bad features and conditions of

minister of agriculture with a practical
basis upon which to build Improvements.
With the vast horse breeding interests in
the United States, and considering the
special governmental attention bestowed
on various other great industries, it is re-
markable indeed that the American gov
eminent does not take closer official note
of horse breeding. and lend some sub

the industry with such safeguards as
will be conducive to the production of
soundness and purity of breeds.

THE AMERICAN HORSE
Classification for American Car
riaqe Horses,

Since the Inauguration of the work of
the Bureau of Animal Industry for the
development from American material of
carriage horse which would breed true
to type, 1t has been evident that one of
the earliest supplementary steps to give
the movement wide scope and broad
foundation would be the establishment
of classes for such horses at the State and
National fairs. This sentiment has grown
rapidly during the past year and has
found expression in the addition of such
classes to the premium lists of fairs in
Iowa and Kentucky, states from which
large numbers of American carriage
horses are marketed. On their own ini-
tiative the Iowa state fair, held at Des
Moines, the Kentucky state fair, held at
Louisville, and the Blue Grass fair, held
at Lexington, KY, have offered prizes
for American carriage horses for the sea-
son of 1907.
The classifcations adopted by these
fairs are similar, but considerable differ
ences exist which it is desirable to har-
monte. A uniform, systematic, and
| practical classlhCatlOn, suitable for the
guidance of fairs in general, is POSSIBLE
ity and will tend to bring about uniform
exhibitions. If the horse shown under
these conditions are capably judged, a
uniform type can be fixed definitely and
rapidly.
The Iowa fair has been held and the
horses judged by w. A. Dobson, of Mar
ion, Iowa, one of the best judges on type
of the American trotter in this country
Mr.. Dobson tied the ribbons according to
the rules laid down by the fair associa-
ton, and the highest award made was
second prize in any Of the classes. From
this it would seem that the exhibitors
are not familiar with the type required,
or the country is short of the standard
type laid down in the rules. The follow
ing is one of the rules of judging: EN-
tries in all classes to be judged on con-
formation, style, action and manners as
suitable type of carriage horse. Spec
ial attention will be given to trueness of
action. Good knee and hook action are
desirable. Entries in all classes should
trot and walk straight and true, and
judges will especially avoid horses show
ing any tendency to mix gaits, paddle in
front, or sprawl behind."-The North
