Non Partisan Banquet L.

Although politicians were
much in evidence at the Com
mercial Club banquet it was
pre-emIuently a nou-partisan
affair.
But it developed politics in
that the business men of Hanui.

aspiring to public positions of

thereby enabled to measuresthe

One of Hanuibal's favorite
sons added immensely to his
laurels. While he did not utter
a word of politics, he dealt ably

High Finance.

New York CITY paid out $3O,'
000,0 900 in bonds. Inasmuch as
that municipality is already
burdened with an enormous
debt, the public we're slow to
subscribe, and when it was an.
uounced that j. Pierpuint Nor
gan had agreed to take the
whole issue, people went into
paeans of praise over his partri.
otism and public spirit.
But here is the way he did it.
He took half the amount of the
First National Bank. John D.
Rockefeller's National Bank
took the other half Morgan
gave his check for SIS, 000.0 900
10 Comptroller Melz and took
the bonds. Rockefeller's Nat
ioual City Bank gave its check
for the other SIS. 900, 900. Com
ptroller Metz than deposited
the First Nationals check in
the National City Bank aud the
check of the latter institution
IN the First National Bank.
Thus each of these banks Keeps
Its money, while the city pays
six per cent interest and re-
ceives the banks credit in re,
turn.
The reason for the sale Of
bonds was that money was tight
and the city wanted cash to pay
it's bills, but when the police
men. tiremen, teachers and other
employees went for their pay,
they we're handed out clearing
house certificates. The result
of it is that these captains of
finance are drawing about IS,
900 a day interest from the city,
and handing out clearing house
certificates in return.
This shows us how our great
capitalists manage to make
money by the exercise of their
wits, aud how j. Pierpont Nor
gan bcnevolently comes TO the
assistance of the city when 1t is
hard up by looking wise and
taking its bonds in return for
his own paper money.
Formerly finance was sup
posed to be matter of mathe.
NAUTICAL accuracy Today it
consists largely of wind and
paper. Aud yet, when it is pro-
posed to guarantee deposits,
these banks cry out that IN that
case there will be no difference
between sound banks and those

people who can best serve them.
Mr.. Hays showed Enthusiastically
that he thinks along the right
lines.
The business men of Hannibal
had not before been permitted
to hear Mr.. Hays save in rough
and tumble contests in the
court room in trying law cases.
HIS splendid delivery aud the
matter of his speech were reVe-
lations that exalted him in the
estimation of his auditors.
1t is perfectly safe to predict
that MIR. Hays will have every
reason to be proud of his home
city when the primary votes are
counted next August. Hannibal
and Marion county will stand by
him TO a man. Aud this is no
more than they should do for a
home man worthy of their sup
port aud confidence.
Mr.. Hays did not play politics
at non partisan banquet, but
he ''set people to talking about
him most favorably." He made
hit, judging from the compli-
meuts showered upon him every
where yesterday by both those
who heard him and those who
read his speech in the Journal.

PURE BRED SHEEP ON
NATIONAL FOREST RANGES
Breeders May BE Surprised 10 Learn
That Fancy stock May Run in the
Mountain Pastures Without Dimi-
mutton in Numbers.
(Forest Service BuIletin)

Many sheep breeders. especially
those of the east. viii be surprised
to learn that pure bred registered
sheep may be raised and run on the
open ranges Of the west i'm large
bands without any diminution in the
grade or quality of the product as
compared to the parent dams and
sires with which the fiocks We're start
ed. The first requisite. however, is
that an entirely satisfactory range
properly protected from the intrusion
of other hocks ana upon which there
is certain to be the necessary amount
Of forage, water, etc, must be as
sured. At the present time this CON
dition exists only upon private lands
and within the national forests of the
west which are under the admins
tration of the forest service.
a noteworthy example of what can
be accomplished in breeding high
grade sheep on properly controlled
open range Is that of Allen Bros.
who Craze about 5000 mead of regis
tered Cottswold sheep within the
Uinta national forest i'm the state Of
Utah. These bands are the increase
of about 200 head of prize winning
stock from the Royal stock show in
England and the International show
at Chicago. purchased and imported
To Utah by Allen Bros. since 1892.
They have grazed within the Uinta
national forest since 1903, upon
ranges which are practically ideal for
sheep grazing purposes. being well
watered, grassed ana shaded, and
protected from the grazing OF other
sheep. Careful breeding is develop
a pure bred type of Cottswold IN
tirely adapted To- western range con-
ditions. vet equal to anything raised
under fences in the eastern United
or in European countries.
This is a sample case that demon
strates what range control within the
forest is enabling the stock
men of the west to do. There are
quicker and greater returns To be Sc
cured from the raising of high-grade
than from inferior mongrel
breeds. but in many sections ocK
men have hesitated TO invest in reg
istered sires and dams because Of
the uncertainty OF securing ranges
upon which feed and water are alb
assured and without which
such ventures would not be SO re-
munerative or so successful as the
running of inferior grades of stock
better adapted To the severe range
conditions that are commonly en-
countered because Of overstocking and
Of control
on national forest ranges the num-
her of stock allowed is only what the
range is sufficient TO sustain under
conditions. and a stockman who
secures a permit to graze stock on
these ranges may embark upon the
business of raising high-grade cattle
and sheep with every reasonable as
surance of success.
