THE SHEPHERD.

Your eastern wool buyer is a pretty
shrewd and well informed chap and

tell you that during the past twenty
years Missouri was only q "whistling
station" on his wool route, but that
now his "house" has placed Missouri
on his map. and he Is buying large
quantity OF choice wool In this state.
An American importer Of fine sheep,
writing from England a few weeks
ago, said that Missouri as sheep
state Is again being discussed over
there and a large number Of the best
and highest priced breeding sheep that
have left England this Q90D year have
been consigned to Missourl's breeders.
Missouri had 997, 500 sheep on Jan. /,
1907. Her 100000 farms could easily
sustain 6,0i0,000 sheep.-M. V. Carroll.

II Congress has not been taught a
lesson by the Hill.Tower incident, it
should have been No country Of our
prctensions pays lis diplomats so
poorly as does the United States. And
il Is well to bark back a few years TO
show that the world position OF the
United States has grown out from
under Congress In 1893, the United
States was accredited only ministers
from foreign Governments in other
words, we were only second raters,
and unworthy OF ambassadors. Then
came the Spanish war, and Europe
sat up quickly. Ministers were ele.
vated, there was lot OF quick shift
ing and then other nations than Mex
leo were represented here by ambas-
sadors. Of course, by reason Of dip
lomatic usage we were compelled to
send ambassadors in return. Here
is where the difference comes in.
Great Britain pays James Bryce, her
ambassador to Washington $4,000 a
year. and the British Government
owns the handsome building which
houses him. II is on Connecticut
avenue, the fashionable promenade
thoroughfare in Washington. and Is
worth probably 100000. Nearly all
other European nations own their
embassies and legations here, and
they pay their ambassadors and min.
listers salaries which make il possible
for a poor man to accept such a post
But not SO that United States, in the
front rank Of world powers. II Is
notorious that none but the richest
can accept posts of importance. Poor
men are barred, yet none would say
that poor men are not capable. Many
have a notion that a diplomatic post
is only meant for chance to shine
socially. but as a matter OF fact, they
are Of vastly more importance than
the layman ever knows.
There have been several bills pre-
sented in Congress to provide for the
properties abroad, and it is to be hop
ed Congress will see fit to preclude
the possibility Of a repetition Of such
an incident as the Hill-Tower affair,
which was brought about solely be-
cause Mr.. Hill is not a rich man.

Vice President Fairbanks has the
record OF having travelled more miles
and having met more people in the
past four years than any other man in
the country. Demands for him to
make public addresses are almost in
ccssant, but he generally declines for
the reason that he spends more time
in the Vice Presidential chair than
any OF his predecessors.

That the commodity clause Of the
Hepburn rate law will be suspended

pected by both the friends and the
enemies Of the law In the House and

This commodity clause is that
which prevents railroads dealing In
other things than transportation, and
was put into the Hepburn bill at the
instigation OF Senator Elkins, who Is
himself coal operator and had seen
the evil effects resulting from the
combining OF railroad business with
mining and numbering. But, because
OF the time limit given the railroads

clusion that the railroads should be

THE DIFFERENCE.
BY Robert ]. Burdette.

When Washington was President.
As cold as an icicle.
He never on railroad went.
And never rode a bicycle.
He read by no electric lamp.
Nor heard about the Yellowstone.
He never licked a postage stamp.
And never saw telephone.
His trousers ended at the knees.
BY wire he could not send dispatch:
He filled his lamp with waIe-oil grease
And never had match to scratch.
But in these days it's come to pass.
All work is with such dashing done
We've all these things: but then. alas,
We seem to have no Washington

CHIEF ASSET OF MISSOURI.

Except only Missourians, born on the
soil or adopted, the chief asset OF Mis-
souri, is the blue grass. Kentucky has
been called the blue grass state, but
Kentucky has only acres where in Mis-
souri, are square miles. Blue grass
stands for the greatness OF a state.
Where it grows lush upon the hillsides
and adown the meadow way are men
of iron will and women of gentle
speech. Blue grass means material pros
perity. 1t tells of limestone which
makes for clear water and strong bone.
1t suggests the 1.-THE limbs of the thor
oughbred horse and the sickness OF
cattle with pedigrees like that OF a
Daughter of the Revolution.
Where blue grass grows wild and
rank there may be found in rich abun'
dance all grains and fruits that the tenn
perate zone may yield. Il makes the
finest pasture land. Out of it, through
the mysterious processes which Mother
Nature only knows, come food and drink
and raiment, beef and milk and wool.
Blue grass grows in every Missouri
county. The aristocrat among the
grasses, it is dominant everywhere driv-
ing before it all that dispute its pri-
macy.
The bears have no rightful place upon
Missouri's coat OF arms. There should
be instead a sheaf of blue grass nod
ding benedictiOn.

The system of registration at the
University of Missouri is one of the few
remaining earmarks of the schools ear
lier numerical nnimportance. 1t is
greatly to be regretted that school
fast becoming one of the largest in the
United States should retain a registra
tion system as antiquated and made
quate as Missouri's. 1t is as msyste-
matte and unbusincss- like as it is old
and insufficient. The University man.

anime such a system as exists at the

CHANCELLOR SNOW

ITO have lived for a purpose and to
have achieved rich fulfilment OF
that purpose. to have done no mean
or unworthy thing, to have lived day
after day in simplicity and gentleness
to have added to the store of the
worlds knowledge and to have won
the affectionate regard OF thousands
with whom he came in cOntact-such
was the career of Francis Huntington
Snow. The death of this pioneer edu-
Gator and distinguished scientist will
sadden the hearts of the people of Kan
sas as the taking off of no other beloved
citizen, perhaps, could do. And the news
will travel far to many exiles of the
state. and to each it will be message
of sorrow.
DR.. Snow was closely identified with
the history and development of the Uni
versity of Kansas during all the years
of his active manhood. and to him more
than to any other man in that state is
due the success of the institution and
the high place it occupies in the world
of education. 1t was as a young man
almost boy, that DIR. Snow first
climbed the heights of Mount Dread at
Lawrence, in September, 1866, and ever
since then all his hopes and ambitions,
his achievements and his unremitting
efforts have been centered in that insti
tuition. During those remote and weary
years of struggle and uncertainty it was
DIR. Snow who bore the greatest burdens
most patiently, his splendid optimism
cheering his comrades to carry on the
work. In the forty-twO years of his
services he has seen the University of
Kansas develop from one small and
badly equipped building to great and
magnificent system of stately editices.
of which Snow hall, the natural science
building, is a splendid personal memo
rial
Chancellor Strong, on learning of DIR.
Shows death, said: His death cuts
the last link with the first year of the
institution. He mas come in contact
with every one of 10000 students that
have been at the university during his
time, hence he has had the opportunity
of impressing himself upon large num-
Der of educated men and women" While
DIR. Snow was an able instructor. it
was the charm of his singularly winsOme
personality that made every student
who ever climbed the "hill' his devoted
friend. That he was. a distinguished
scientist all the students knew. but far
dearer to them was the simple, kindly.
big hearted man, ever ready to lend
sympathy and aid. What DIR. Snow has
given to the scientific world is another
story. His nature was so modest and
his reticence regarding his own iiscov
cries so impenetrabe that few of those
even in his classes realized the interna-
tiOnal reputation of the smiling little
gentleman upon the lecture platform.
There is no man or woman today who
ever attended the University of Kansas
but will treasure in his or her heart
the tenderest memories of Francis Hun
tingtOn Snow, scientist. educator.

AUTOMOBILE OR HORSE!

That the automobile is here to stay
is an assured fact and its prestige Is
growing daily. But be this prestige
ever SO great the automobile will never
completely supplant the horse.
The Importance of the auto is espe-
cially striking because its field of ac-
tivity is but recently being filled and its
thorough efficiency is fully equal to
meet the requirements of this advanced
ace. The use of the automobile is be-
coming broader in its scope to met the
demands of the day. The idea that
only the wealthy have use for it is a
thing of the past. Nearly every one
has Use for an auto and many persons
of even moderate means own machines.
1t is indeed of double value to the far
mer and he finds it useful in many ways
in preference to the horse.
1t is the misuse and not the use of
the auto that causes the great prejudice
against it. Reckless, irresponsible chauf-
feurs, employed by men with millions to
waste, break all speed law limits. en-
danger human life and apparently care
little.
Both the horse and the automobile
have the proper field. While the latter
cannot but grow to greater proportions.
the former will not lose ground as a
faithful and active servant of mankind.
