The pasture problem threatens the
future of New England dairy farming.
The old hill pastures are slowly but
surely running out and are keeping
fewer and fewer cattle every year
Most Of them cannot be plowed at
any reasonable cost under present CON
ditions Of farm labor, and clearing off
the bushes is Of only temporary bene
fit. Unless pastures can be plowed
and cultivated for few years there
seems to be no hope for them, and
they gradually turn into wood lots, thus
reducing the dairy capacity of the
farm. Many pastures are needlesSly
injured by turning the stock out too
early in the spring, especially when
1t has been eaten close the preceding
year They tramp the soil too wet and
gnaw the young plants too close to the
ground 1t is much better to let the
grass get good start, then put on
the stock long enough to eat down the
grass and move them to another pas
ture. Unless pastures are large enough
to be divided in this way they quickly
become injured under ordinary meth
DDS. 1t is an expensive way, but per-
haps it is the only way to manage
without grazing the land too close.

VOTES ARE FOR TAFT.

THE TRIBUNE has rec 4ived four responses
from leading Republicans of different portions
of the county to the request for eA-
preston of a choice for the Republican
candidate for president printed in our editorial
columns the last two weeks No personal
solicitation or canvass has been made by the
editor at all, as we desired the expression of
those who were enough interested to go to the
trouble of filling out the blank ballot and mail
ing it.
The votes appear to have been cast entire
ly independently, and appear to indicate that
50 far as sentiment has crystallized in this
county, it is shaping itself for Taft.

A DIRECTOR OF POSTS.

Congress has under advisement the ap-
pontment of director of posts sort of de-
putty postmaster general who would be a fix
ture in the department, says the Minneapolis
Journal. The establishment of such an office
would follow iii a measure the British preced-
ent of permanent under secretaries in the great
departments Each of them has who
stays with the department thru all the vCissi-
tudes of cabinets and who attends to the run
ming of the machinery, keeping it geared and
i'm working order at all times. This has be-
come necessary under the English Farlmen-
tary system. Under that system secretary of
state may last six years or he may last six
weeks 1t all depends whether the com
mons vote for against the policy of the cahi
net to which he belongs. Under these circum-
stances, it is imperative that constitutional
means be at hand for bridging the chasm
governments. 1t is also necessary in
Great Britain to have some one high in office
who knows the history of the department, who
can cite it's precedents and state it's exact posi-
ton on similar questions at other times.
The American constitution, providing as it
does for definite terms Of Office, for a long time
was on the theory that when these terms
expired the ofice-holders would vacate for
somebody else. Civil service reform has to a
great extent broken up the practice of throw
ing the working force of the departments into
confusion with every national campaign. But
civil service reform has not yet reached the as
sistant secretaries and upper officials of the
great departments. The appointment of per-
manent assistant acknowledgement would be
step in the direction of making business
department more businesslike.
Morris tribune., 1908-02-15

The present congress is being criticised as
"do-nothing' congress because they are do
every presidential election and that is to take
up as few important bills possible on which
there is certain to be contest. From time inn
memorial this has been considered good poll
tics" and in the past it usually has been. The
passage of good laws is very often bad politics
because very often the people do not heed and
do not appreciate, but the persons adversely
affected by reform law do and do get
busy. It is one of the most lamentable features
bad politics unless they are run with a brass
band attachment.

The death of Jim Hargis, of Breathitt
county. KY, at the hands of his son is the end
ing of feudal conditions which have survived
longer in Breathitt county than elsewhere,
through the influence the man now dead.
The manner of the death of the greatest Ken
lucky feudal chief since the Blacks and Eliotts
was a travesty upon feudalism. In the real
feudalism of the highlands, the clan was the
unit "My clansman's blood demands revenge
said Roderick Dhu, Immediately after asserting
the wide difference in rank between himself
and his dead clansman. The obligation
was to and for the clan without regard
to station the clan against the world and with
in the clan the fast obligation of kinship. The
murder of clansman by of his blood
never suggested itself to Scott who knew the
clan and never magnifed either it's good it's
evil beyond his knowledge. The killing of
Hargis will give the feud it's quietus in ken
lucky. Were it not tragedy it would be a
farce and even tragedy it has in it ele-
nent of the comic, when think of it the
end of generations of murder masquerading as
war. This is the end of the clan in Kentucky.
After it is buried with Hargis. let the noun
taineers quit singing, "Bonnie Charley Crossed
Over the Border' Even ragtime would be
better, in this twentieth century.-St Louis

HOW ArlBIrlON is CRUSHED.
+ S +

When a member of congress voices his pro-
test against the arbitrary rules OF the house. be
ne Democrat or Repu olican, his words reach
c,7anv sympathetic ears. Under their operation
q new member is utterly helpless in any effort
~ do effective work for his constituents. He
takes his seat full of ideas and good resolu-
tons. intending to accomplish much tor the
benefit of his district and state. He sees
GREAT deal to be done and the early weeks OF
the session open up endless possibilities to him,
not only to put the stamp OF his personality
upOn pending Legislation OF national charact-
or but upon bills OF his own making which may
have met with glad acclaim out among the
voters who look to him their special cham
MON of REFORM But he is sooner sworn In
than he is made aware of his own bitterness
and the diminutive part he must play In the
great game that is going on before h11n' lie IS
REGARDED as novice unworthy OF the privilege
of the floor; his presence is tolerated and that
Is about ALL In support of the bills he has in
troduced he is permitted to appear before COM
,nittees and eluCidate their fine points, but
1;tt1, or no attention is paid to him. He goes
+hronoh the long session all but ignored by the
sneaker and his cabinet who shape the policy
of LEGISLATION and agree upon what class or
classes of bills shall be barred from open dis
cnssion on the floor. AS the end draws nea
and there comes an avalanche of business the
new member takes account of himself and
what he has been able to accomplish for his
dear constituents The net result is always
disappointing. The inability to do anything in
behalf of his bills weighs heavily upon his
,;,,d. he brOods over it. Al last he becomes
INDIGNANT and seeks the first opportunity to
x,oice his indignation, which he does in face of
the imnerturable autocrat who presides over
the house according to rules formulated, not

duty to demonstrate against the exercise OF

have such outbursts of feeling taken IN the
Pickwickian sense, at least not directed

the Republican nomination for governor, and
vet it is hardly of the satisfactory kind and the
situation is full of the danger of resulting IN
verv inharmonous convention. While Young
