IMPROVING WESTERN CATTLE.
National Western stock Show Big Fac
tor in Distributing Pure Bred
Animals,

With the passing of the live stock
business of the western ranges into
the hands of stock farmers and ranch
men, has come a tremendous change
in the quality of the cattle. The old
long horn, long legged cattle Of ten
and fifteen years ago have almost
completely disappeared and their
places have been taken with the
broad backed cattle Of the shorthorn,
hereford and polled breeds. = 1t is
largely due to the big annual stock
shows of the country that this evolu-
tion has been SO rapid and none of the
shows has been of more value to the
west than the National Western Stock
Show, which opens its sixth annual
exhibition in Denver on January 16.
This show was organized and contin-
ued by an association of some 500
western stockmen and business men
who saw the Importance of educating
the people to the most modern ideas
in live stock and in addition to exhib-
iting the best the country affords in
cattle, the big breed associations hold
public sales at which selected animals
are sold without reserve. AS result
of these annual sales herds of pure
bred cattle are springing up all over
the west and it is predicted that at
the coming show in Denver, western
herds will give the eastern herds a
close run for the ribbons.
At the Denver show next month the
American Shorthorn Association will
sell fifty selected bulls and heifers and
the Hereford Association will sell an
equal number. The Aberdeen Angus
Association will sell a number at pri-
vate sale and the Galloway Associa-
ton will sell about forty head. These
cattle are all selected from the best
herds in the country and this annual
distribution of pure blood will have
tremendous effect upon the quality OF
the western cattle in the future.

DEMOCRATS SEEK
BASIS FOR UNITY
COMPROMISE ON WOOL SCHEDULE
is EAGERLY SOUGHT.
Oppose Free List Bill-New England
Farmers Declare Snare in
Bills Intent.

Observation-Disclosures and free
trade were the themes of Tuesdays de-
bate in the house over the Democratic
bill to put agricultural implements, GER
tain food products and manufactured ar
ticles on the free list. Mr.. Tilson Of
Connecticut said farmers of his state re-
fused to be caught by the name, farm
ers' free list bill,' on the Democratic
measure.
Messrs. S. w. Smith of Michigan and
Burke of South Dakota, Republicans, OPP
posed the measure because of it's alleged
assault upon the doctrine of protection.
Mr.. Catlin of Missouri said it would
give a firmer foothold in the United
States to the growing japanese trade.
Messrs. Byrns and Sims OF Tennessee
and Lever and Byrnes of South Caro-
lima, all Democrats, defended the bill.
The house committee on ways and
means will begin next week to grind out
the tariff bill providing for revision of
the wool schedule. Upon this both the
Democratic majority in the house and the
Democratic membership of the commit
tee is divided, but the committee di-
vision is not so wide as in the last few
weeks.
1t is the policy Of Speaker Clark, ma
jority leader Underwood and other Dem
ocratic leaders not to submit to TINS
congress a bill placing raw wool on the
free list. Many Democrats want raw
wool OH the free list. Others believe
that the schedule should not be SO radio
ally revised at this time. That a ma
jority of the Democrats on the ways
ana means committee favored raw wool
until a few days ago there is no doubt,
but a majority Of Democrats could not
swing such a bill ever in committee, nor
could a majority OF Democrats in the
house effect the passage of such a bill.

END JUsTIFlEs THE MEANS
Criminal Court Of Appeals Upholds
Ku-Klux Khan.

Oklahoma City, Okla.-The organized
efforts of citizens of Watonga, Okla, to
rid the community of bootleggers was
upheld Tuesday in a decision of the
criminal court of appeals.
The court denied a writ of mandamus
against County Judge George w. Fer
guson to compel a change OF trial court.
Some time ago citizens of Watonga or
gaTized an ASSOCIATION similar i'll char
acter to the famous Ku Klux Khan and
assumed that name. They inaugurated
a crusade against the yiolators Of the
state prohibition law with the result
that the illegal sale of liquor in that
town was stopped.
IN the ruling the court quotes in full
the affidavit of ex-Gov. Thomas B. Fer
guson, a resident of Watonga, and one
of the Ku Klux leaders, and lays stress
upon his credibility. The court holds
that while the organization and demon
stration takes on the appearance OF a
mob, the end justified the means used.

TAFT and GIBBONS
TALK FOR PEACE
BRITISH ARBITRATION GIVEN IN
DORSEMENT AT BALTIMORE
Cardinal Declares Proposed Treaty Will
Go Far Towards Maintenance
of Peace.

Baltimore.-President Taft in his
speech at the opening OF the, Third
National Peace Conference Wednesday,
declared the United States would keep
hands off and not seek to extend ita
domain or to acquire foreign territory.
The president made no mention specifical-
ly OF Mexico, but by what he said it
seemed that the troubled situation there
and the suspicion in the South American
republics as to the intention of this
nation, in regard to it's southern neigh.
bors, had inspired him.
The president had been speaking of the
recurrence of internal disturbances in
countries not so well able as the United
States to maintain order and peace, and
had said that it was incumbent on the
great nations of "this hemisphere to iex-
ercise their kindly and peaceful infiu-
ence as much as possible
1--WE have had wars and we know
what they are. We know what RESPONSE
bilities they entail, the burdens and
losses and horrors, and we would have
none of them. We have a magnificent
domain of our own in which we are at
tempting to work out and show to the
world success in popular government,
and we need no more territory in which
to show this.
'But we have attained great pros
perity and great power. We have be
come a powerful member of the com
munity of nations in which we live, and
there is therefore thrust upon US neces-
sarily a care and responsibility fer the
peace of the world in our neighborhood
and a burden of helping those nations
hat cannot help themselves, if we may
do that peacefully and effectively
The president spoke to several thou
sand persons in the Lyric Theater. Car
dinal Gibbons, Secretary of Wa Dickin-
son, Senator Gore of Oklahoma, Andrew
Carnegie and more than a dozen other
men prominent in the movement for
world peace sat on the platform with
the president. Cardinal Gibbons and
Hamilton Holt, president of the confer
ence, who spoke before the president,
voiced the opinion that the negotiation
of the proposed arbitration treaty be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain would mark the greatest step to-
ward universal peace that the world had
ever seen.

ference Tuesday between G. Grosvenor
Dave, managing director of the Southern
Commercial Congress, and the committee

event will be styled the Omitted Amer

the auspices of the Southern CONNER
cial Congress, uniting all the Southern
states in a series of international events
and conventions, pageants and an ex-
cmsion to the canal. The committee
decided to raise a fund of 100000 for
the ~pageants. The general management
of the conventions will be in the hands

SENATOR STONE
ON RECIPROCITY
DEN0UNCES MOVEMENT HE SEES
TO DEFEAT MEASURE.


Washington-ln a speech lasting more
than three hours, Senator Stone, of Mis-
souri,, in the Senate Monday, denounced
what he declared to be an unjust propa-
ganda to defeat the Canadian reciprocity
bill. The attempt, lie said, was being
made to alarm the American people by
painting the ruin that would follow the
free importation of Canadian goods, the
products Of cheap labor. This c~onten-
ton, he declared, was absolutely untrue
and he submitted statistics gathered by
both governments designed to show that
both labor and live stock were higher
across the border than in the United
States.
When Mr.. Stone concluded Senator
Gallinger asserted that the Missouri SEN
ator had proved conclusively that there
would not be the reduction in the cost
of living which it had been contended re-
ciprocity would bring to the United
States. Mr.. Stone replied he had not
contended that in and Of itself reciproc-
ity would be of great benefit, but had
undertaken to show it would produce NO
great injury.
.And yet we give away ten millions
of revenue" Mr.. Gallinger retorted.
Mr.. Cummins agreed with Mr.. Stones
conclusion regarding prices in Canada
and said he was convinced the passage
of the bill would not effect reduction of
the cost of living.
Mr.. Stone contended that American
labor is in no especial danger from labor
in Canada, and replying to Mr.. Page of
Vermont, he said it appeared to him
from government figures, farm wages in
Canada are SO per cent higher than in
the United States.
Counting out the lowering effect of
the small wages paid negro labor in
Southern states, Mr.. Gallinger declared
that the American wages paid near the
boundary line are from 25 TO 30 per
cent more than across the line.

TO PASS ON LIQUOR LAWS
Supreme Court Will Decide Georgia
Tennessee Mix-Up.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. liquor laws will
be subjected to scrutiny by the United
States supreme court. 1t is the case of
the state against G. W. Cureton. The
question raised is whether the Georgia
law of 1907, in prohibiting the sale Of
liquor within the state, applies to a
transaction where persons living in Ala
bama or Tennessee order liquor of an
other in Tennessee, who ships the liquor
through an agent in Georgia.
Cureton is charged with receiving or
ders and payment for liquor at his Of
fee in Tennessee and directing his agents
at Rising Fawn, Ga, to ship the liquor
ordered. The state claims that Cureton
thereby made a sale in Georgia. Cureton
claims the sale took place in Tennessee,
and furthermore, that the Georgia law is
unconstitutional because it interferes
with interstate commerce..

publics bestowed upon him a gold
medal bearing on one side the words

other "The American Republics to An
drew Carnegie
According to John Barrett, director
general of the Pan-American Union, it
was the first time in history that such
a tribute from so many nations has been
paid to an individual. Senior de Zama-
coma, the Mexican ambassador, made the
speech of presentation. Secretary of
State Knox presided, and President Taft
spoke in eulogy of the gifts which Mr..
Carnegie has made for the cause OF
peace.
In accepting the medal, Mr.. Carnegie
told if his feelings in being informed of
the honor conferred upon him by the
Pan-American conference at Buenos
Ayres.
Truly, my friends" he said, Il never
before felt so completely overwhelmed
and crushed as it dawned upon me that
the honor which the conference had voted
to confer was without parallel, 160, 900,
900 of people, forming twenty-one sover-
eign nations, bestowing upon poor me an
honor the like of which had never be-
fore been bestowed upon a human be-
ing"
In Offering thanks to the nations,
through their diplomats present, for the
honor bestowed upon him, Mr.. Carnegie
asked them to accompany the express
sion with the ardent wish on his part
that prompt action should be taken by
the twenty-one republics to establish a
reign of peace, by adopting President
Taft's policy of submitting all disputes
to arbitration.
