alfalfa regions. But it is doubtful
whether this extra expense will pay,
unless 1t Is as a ration for young pigs.
To avoid the expenses of cutting or
grinding, some tarl.ers in order to
get the hay all eaten, soak it in wa
ter and feed it. This has proved
satisfactory wherever tried. One
farmer down in Pueblo county car
ried his hogs through a winter by
feeding them alfalfa leaves soaked in
hot Water for one day and the next
day shorts mixed with the pulp and
water. He feeds mach alfalfa hay
to his hogs and is quite successful
with them. He puts the last cutting
in shock as soon as wilted and thus
cures it Wit cat BILE; ching and feeds
it to the hogs. Another farmer car
ried his entire herd Of hogs through
the winter by feeding them the pulp
OF alfalfa lay after soaking it in wa
ter over night and lie also gave them
the water to drink. This was all the
feed they La during the winter
and they were in good flesh in the
spring, With smooth, glossy coats of
hair. Another far. Ell was feeding a
bunch CT fifty pigs on corn. During
the winter they got OFF feed and We're
not thrifty. He reduced the corn
and gave n ration of wothird chon-
ped alfalfa hay and one-third corn
meal, the two soaked together. The
hogs began to do better and a little
later he changed the ration to one
third alfalfa and two-thirds corn.
The results We're very satisfactory
and the cost of feed was reduced from
$15 a month to 50 a month on al
falfa and corn. So alfalfa nay, as
we'll as pasture, has a very import
ant use on a big farm.

TALK on INCOME TAX
New Methods of Raising Revenue
for the Government Must Be
Sought.

Washington Dispatch to Boston
Globe: Serious consideration is be
ing directed by members of congress
to the fact that new methods of rails,
ing revenue must be found before
long. The constant expansion o.
government needs and the constant
enlargement of the appropriations
made by congress-, together with the
low state of the revenues, has
brought this situation about. Sena'
tor j. H. Gallinger of New Hamp'
shire, one of the conservative mem
bers of the senate, says it will be
necessary to scrutinize the appro,
priations carefully this session. Al
the same time Senator Gallinger rec.
ognized the apparent impossibility
of curtailing government expendi.
lures, in view of the constant ex-
pansion of government activities
and that it seems to him the time
was near when new means of pro.
viding revenue must be found.
Much discussion of an income
tax is going on" said the senator
II shall not be surprised if we come
to that before a great while. Per
sonally, l an not II of those who
are frightened at the idea of an in
come tax. l believe that no tax con-
gress might provide for would be
popular among the great
masses of the people than an income
tax"
Senator Gallinger realizes that it
is one thing to talk about economy
in appropriation by congress and is
another thing to curtail expenditures.
He points out that it is very difficult
to say what expenditures should be
Topped off and what should not.
GAS l said in the campaign" he
Observed" it is all we'll enough 10
talk about economy, our democratic
friends have much to say on this
score, but where are you going to
begin? If you strike at the allow
ance of money in II place the dan
ger is that before you get through a
lot of other appropriations that are
deserved will be struck off some
other place."
Senator G%allinger's observations
as to the trouble about pairing APP
preparations is akin to those of a
good many other senators and rep
resantatives. They indicate that
more and more attention is being
drawn to the income tax.

IN my belief We should be given am.
pie means to prosecute them if found
In the legislative branch. But if this
is not considered desirable, a special
exception could be made in the law
prohibiting the use of the secret ser

better to do this than to do what
actually was done, and strive to pre-
vent or at least to hamper effective
action against criminals by the ey.
ecutive branch of the government"
This proposition that congressman
may exempt themselves from inVesti-
CATION by the secret service is not
Particularly complimentary to the
congressman, but the president Is
doubtless justified in handing them
the rebuke, in view of the excel, ~
work that has been done by the Sc
cret service and the opportunities al
ways existing for further work for
the general good of the government
and the people.
Some excuse might obtain for the
action of congress if it could be
shown that the secret service had
been used for political purposes.
Espionage is un-American and should
not and will not be tolerated, but a
vast amount Of splendid and valuable
work can be done, and is being done,
by the secret service that could not
be accomplished in other ways with
out greatly increasing expenses.
Evidence against violators of the law
cannot be secured by uniformed
agents of the government headed by
brass bands. The work must be
done by quiet, earnest, honest men,
pledged to the service and skilled
in the special work at hand. So
long as the members of the secret
service are confined to this class of
work, the result of which always in
ures to the pubic good, the congress
will be hard pressed for an expla-
of its refusal to properly sup
port the service and will be properly
censured for it's apparent and obvious
efforts to cripple it and lessen it's
efficiency.

FEDERAL SECRET SERVICE
Secret Service Men are Necessarily
Used in All the Departments of
Government

Omaha Bee: President Roosevelt
has taken congress to task for it's
attempt to hamper the work of the
secret service department of the gov
eminent and, in the main, it must
be admitted that his point is we'll
taken. The last congress, in pro-
viding for the maintenance of the
secret service, adopted a provision
that there should be no detail from
the secret service division and no
transfer therefrom and the presi-
dent properly, We believe, asserts
that none but crooks and criminals
have profited or are likely to profit
by this congressional enactment.
Under the organization of the de-
partments of the governments, the
secret service branch is attached to
the Treasury department. 1t is pri-
marily intended to be used in the
detection of counterfeiting, viola
lions of the customs rules and SINH
lar matters affecting the finances of
the nation. In practice, however,
every branch of the government SER
vice has need and has heretofore had
the privilege of using the secret SER
vice. 1t is no secret that this service
was used in ferreting out the land
frauds in the west and northwest, in
exposing the lottery and mail fraud
and in working up the evidence in
the prosecutions of the Standard .)ll
the Beef uust, the railroad combine
and other violations of the antitrust
law. To this extent, the secret SER
vice bureau performed a public duty
that it would have been difficult If
not impossible, to have accomplished
by any other method. The president
makes the charge direct that the
limitation of the activities of the
service was made by congress be-
cause the congressman did not
themselves wish to be investigated
by secret service men" The presi-
dent adds:
Every little of such investigation
has been done in the past; but it is
true that the work Of the secret ser.

AGAINST HAzlNG PRACTICE
President james Speaks Strongly
Against the Wrctched Sport of
College Students.

President James Of the University
of Illinois, of Ubana issued the fol-
lowing address to the students of the
University recently on the subject of
hazing:
To the students of the University:
There should be no misunderstand-
ing on the part of the studentbody
or the general public as to the atti-
tude of the authorities of the Uni
versity of Illinois on the subject of
haZing. 1t is a rule of the board of
trustees that students found guilty
of hazing shall be dismissed from the
University. Since this rule went in
to effect, all students who have been
clearly proven guilty of hazing have
been dismissed.
Hazing is a violation of good man
ners and of the right of individual
liberty. 1t is provocative of public
disorder. Public opinion throughout
the state has very properly set it's
seal of condemnation upon it,. On
all counts it must be put under the
ban of the University.
In it's milder forms it is a non
sensical and almost idiotic form of
amusement, unworthy of the support
OF favor of any sensible university
student. 1t was looked upon as a
comparatively slight offense perhaps
twenty years ago in small institu-
tions. 1t is today altogether I'M
worthy of the traditions and reputa-
ton of a national institution such as
this has become.
In its coarser forms haZing is a
vulgar, brutal, always d~emoralizing
and sometimes dangerous form Of
sport which the University cannot
c~ountenance or tolerate. 1t naturally
leads to reprisals and may thus be-
come a source of serious disorder
within and without the University.
In its worst forms, which fortunately
nave uOI plSfdIlcu mere, IL Inlay, IlOl
inaptly, be compared with night
riding, white Gaping, and other sim
liar forms of outrageous interference
with private and public rights.
Surely these are reasons enough
not only to forbid its existence at
the University, but to use every legi-
innate means to stamp it out.
All loyal and law abiding students
are especially requested to cooper.

an absolute end to this custom which

MAGooN ON CUBA
Report Made by Governor
on Present Conditions on the
Island.

1SliAllu.
Washington Post: Governor Ma
COON, who speaks with full know
ledge, gives a most favorable report
on conditions in Cuba. The recent
elections We're fairly conducted, and
the result has been we'll received.
Everything assures a satisfactory in
au%guaration of the new order of
things.
Will this second attempt at self
government be a "go?" Governor Ma
COON thinks so. The people of the
island have been instructed by the
failure under Palma, and are advis-
ed o that they are on trial to a
greater degree than before. They
want to succeed. Their own flag
ean much to them, and they are
going to make an earnest effort to
keep it flying.
Cuba is rich i'll soil, but richer in
undeVeloped 1t suggests
the southern states before the war
for the union. In that day the south
was a far-eXtending plantation. Cot
ton was king, and everything. A
great crop meant great prosperity.
A poor crop meant much temporary
distress. When flush, the southern
planter was the lushiest individual
in the country.
Cuba today is a large plantation.
Sugar is king. Between crops there
is little doing. Great numbers of
people are idle, and, while so, are
pinched and disconnected. But in
the day when Cuba has mines and
manufactures this will be changed.
Then the happiness and prosperity
of the people will not depend solely
OH sugar and tobacco. With a
stable government that day should
soon come, and the Cuban problem
is solved.
With Cuba conducting its own
affairs successfully, we shall have
a good deal to show for the short
war of 1898. Porto Rico is flourish
ing. Its people desire, and should
have, American citizenship. The is
land is a rich spot, and except Cuba,
the most desirable of all the West
Indies. Fifty years of American
rule should develop it to the utmost.
In the Philippines the record is
highly encouraging. We have done
in ten years more than we ourselves
thought possible. No oriental situa-
ton could be better in hand. Time
now is the principal factor. With
the leading Filipinos convinced that
American authority does not spell
oppression, but progress and in
creasing home direction, our work
in the archipelago should go forward
smoothly, and be crowned with com.
plete success.
But even should Cuba fail in this
second attempt at selfgovernment,
we shall still be justified in gu,
course. For the island under per.
manent American control will be in
better condition than it ever was un.
der Spanish control, and with order
assured should become dearer to its
own people and more inviting to out.
