When president of an eastern In

WALSH WILL PAY GOOD PRICE
Waterloo Courier.l


John r. Walsh, convicted of misap-
plying the funds of the Chicago Ma
tional Bank Of which he was presi-
dent, has only one more chance to buy
the brand of justice that he wants
the justice that will recognize the
technicality which his legal sharks
have been paid to extract from the
circumstances of his case, and set
him free, a man who has been con-
victed of violating an important bank
ing law and who has already been
sentenced by fair trial to serve five
years in prison. The federal court
of appeals sustained the verdict Of
the original jury and has just now
denied a rehearing of the case in that
court.
Justification for the crime has
evidently been drained to it's dregs.
Justice has been dealt as fairly as
the human mind is able to conceive
justice. But John r. Walsh going

near the public road and burned the
straw right away, but several years
later this same spot was just full of

his farm again and hauled straw on to

Perhaps 'twould make Us guess
Why the office boy says Mister"

And we'd wonder why the children

If we'd forgot or didn't know
That Christmas were at hand.

And be curious of the whisperings
From early morn till night;
And that packag e underneath her coat
Supported by her hand;
These things might make US curious

But thank the Lord we understand
Nor need to even guess

Will President Taft's aggressive
policy in regard to Nicaragua prove
popular? Will the incident when COM
pleted be a source of strength or weak
ness to the administration? Probably
we will get an inkling of the answer
soon after congress is in session, unless
the insurgent Washington correspond
ents are moved to enlighten US in the
m eantime.
One thing is certain: President Taft
has acted In the Nicaragua matter as
President Roosevelt would have acted
with slight difference. President
Taft let the situation simmer for a
couple of weeks before committing the
administration to an aggressive policy.
President Roosevelt would not have
let 1t simmer longer than twenty -four
hours at the outside.

Hoo Notes.

The present high prices for pork
are causing many farmers to repeat
the old mistake OF selling off their
brood sows. This is the height Of
folly as no inflated prices at the pres
ent will compensate for the loss OF
the best breeding stock next year.
Hold on to the best sows, and be ready
for pig crop in the spring.
To get the best results from feed
ing skim milk to pigs, it should be
mixed with grain feed. One pound of
corn meal in three or four pounds of
skim milk makes a splendid balanced
ration for shoats. Wheat shorts
mixed with skim milk just so it will
soaked corn the pigs will eat, will
produce excellent gains.
If a man wishes to know just what
his brood sows are netting him in
profit, he can figure it out according
to the following formula: On the
debit side = Price Of SOW, keeping
spring pigs, keeping fall pigs; and on
the credit side-Value OF spring pigs
sold, spring pigs on hand, value of
fall pigs sold, fall pigs on hand, SOW
on hand.
The best bacon hogs in the world
are raised in Denmark, and the Dan
ish farmers feed largely on barley, as
they consider it the best grain for
finishing this type Of hogs. The old
idea of mo corn, no hogs will have
to go. The North Dakota experiment
station has also recently proved the
value Of this feed. and as this is a
reliable crop in the Northwestern
states, its general use for hog feeding
purposes should be Of great advantage
to the industry.
In preparing sows for breeding 1t
is necessary to feed well and keep
them gaining. A poorly fed, weak
SOW will have little chance to produce
a good crop Of pigs, when all her feed
is needed to keep her up to living

condition when bred, SO that she can
use the nourishment given her, not
alone for herself, but for the young
sters she is producing. In breeding

IF Mr.. Taft as president has to act

of leaning upon power as he finds it,
he could not, in our judgment do bet
taer than to lean on Aldrich and Can

and capable service won their posts of
leadership, and in the present situa-
ton the country in our opinion just
look to congress for any responsible
dealing with public affairs; but we do
object on two grounds to the situation.
In the frs place. the president of the
United States ought to be man cap
able of maintaining in his own right d
representative character; and in the
second place, the leaders of congress
who are now using and probably will

JACKSON, Miss, October 9.-The
supreme curt docket for the first dis
trict which is to be taken up on next
Monday upon the reconvening of the
court after its three months vacation,
contains just eighty-five cases. 1t
would require nine days to dispose
of this docket, even if ten caess could

be disposed of in less time, because
the rules allow but ten cases to be
called on any one day, and when there
is argument and there is not sufficient
time to dispose of the ten cases set
for any one day they are carried for
ward and made a part of the docket
for calling on the following day. 1t
is estimated, therefore that at least
three weeks will be required on the
docket.
