THE JEFFERSONIAN
from the eye of the public where the interests
work the tricks of their trade


Haven't you, at some time, read in The
JEFFERsoNIAN the argument similar to Gov
enor Wilson's that the Trust is an artificial
person-one created by law-and has no
right to base its rights and principles upon
the principles of private property-the
rights that a natural person enjoys?
The rights Of an artificial person are only
those given to the artificial person by the
natural person through legislation for the
convenience of business, therefore it's every
act should be open to inspection by the
public.
Such ideas being expressed by the Gov
ernor Of New Jersey, who has overthrow
the political machine in his state, the 'home
Of the Trusts" and who has made good by
having enacted into law the reforms to which
he was pledged before election, makes him
man to be seriously considered when the time
comes to select the next Democratic Presi-
dental nominee.
Read the conservative language of Gov
ernor Wilson carefully, and see if it's doesn't
contain more reform bedrock than dozen
stolen "Cross of Gold and Crown of Thorns"
sputterings, or Willie Hearst printers ink
smearings.
The House of Representatives is still de
batting the Free List bill, while Canadian
Reciprocity, the election of Senators by the
people and publicity Of campaign funds be-
fore elections, sleep quietly in the Senate
graveyard
No Democrat in that branch of Congress
seems over-anxious to redeem the campaign
pledges made by the party less than one
year ago, and the Insurgent Republicans
seem to have paid more attention, lately, to
what places they could get on the different
committees than to What they can get for the
people.
In other Words the Insurgent Republicans
have been playing politics, and the Demo
cratic Senators have been sleeping or idly
looking on.
But what change there would be if these
members of the higher House of Congress
had to 90 directly to the people and explain
their Indifference to pledges made in the last
campaign, and their lack of action on egis-
lation that the House Of Representatives has
already acted upon and sent to the Senate!
No more striking example of what election
by popular vote will do could be given than
that being given by Congress right now.
The body that is elected by direct vote Of
the people has passed the publicity of cam
paign funds measure the election of Z. S.
Senators by the people resolution, and the
Canadian Reciprocity agreement, and is
working on the Free List bill, to all of which
their campaign pledges bound them.
The body that is elected where the log
rolling is done, and is not elected by popular
vote, has done nothing.
Do you want any stronger argument in
favor of election of United States Senators
by popular vote?

WOULD INSPECT ALL
COLD STORAGE EGGS
Lodge Offers Amendment
Supplementing Pure
-. Food Act.

An amendment to the agricultural ap-
preparation bill, which Is written in
about one line and a half, gives the
Government power to inspect all the
cold storage eggs in the country that
may happen to become matters of inter-
state commerce.
These few words carry into effect an
extension of the pure food act Of some
years ago, allowing the Department Of
Agriculture to inspect all eggs plants
just as the big packing houses are now
inspected.
This move is intended to supplement
the efforts of various municipalities
which have been making efforts from
time to time to determine whether or
not the eggs on their markets were an
cient or modern. The cities have put
their local inspectors to work in various
Instances, but these inspectors were fire.

EXTRA SESSION HITS
CHAMP CLARK HARD
Speaker-to-Be Loses About
$4,000 He Would Make
Lecturing in Summer.

The extra session is going to cost
Champ Clark, Speaker-to-be and Chau-
tauqua lecturer par excellence, more
than any other member Of the House.
A careful estimate shows that Mr..
Clark is out something like 5000 be-
cause there will not be a long sum-
mer recess.
1t happens this way, and 1t is a rather
sad financial tale:
AS prospective Speaker of the House
and in his capacity of a picturesque
American figure anyway, Mr.. Champ
Clark was destined to be in great de-
mand upon the lecture platform during
the approaching summer. He planned
something like a ten weeks tour, be-
ginning in Philadelphia next week,
sweeping across country to the Pacific
coast, down the coast, and then back
East again.
AS a Chautauqua star Mr.. Clark
might have drawn something like $500
a week. Fortunately or unfortunately
the contracts are so drawn that Mr..
Clark cannot be required to fill his en-
gagements if his public duties prohibit
ture tour long before the Canadian re-
ciprocity agreement and an extra ses-
sion were in the air. 1t looked like
plain sailing. A few days to wind up
Washington affairs and then off on a
long and profitable junket.
Today Mr.. Clark is in position to
quote the old song: What a difference
just a few hours make"
The extra session is assured. The
cancellation Of Mr.. Clark's Cheutauqua
dates also is assured, for, naturally,
Mr.. Clark cannot leave Washington
when his party is Just about to assume
control of the machinery in the House,
when program has to be mapped out
and numerous standing committees are
TO be set TO work
turer will be able to make a single
Chautauqua talk during the summer.
About the only consolation Mr.. Clark
gets out of the turn OF events Is the
nope that the Democrats will put them

by the way, he also has a credit of

hated to break off the old ties at noon
today. The assembling of the Sixty
first Congress meant more than mere
re cord of political events. 1t brought
genuine regret to scores who will start

Not Immune to Tragedy.
No doubt that was one reason that the
Sixty-tirst Congress when ii came TO an
end today revealed members with moist
ened eyelids gazing upon an unusual
scene. The seasoned legislator was not
immune to the tragedy enacted about
him. and, despite the songs that were
sung during the night and the Jests
that enlivened the last hours of a dy-
ing session, strong men felt the infiu-
enCe Of an indefinable something within.
And ii is no wonder that Uncle Joe
Cannon, laying down the gaVel that
he has welded for eight years, spoke
with uneven voice as he pronounced the
sessions work done and as he struck
the desk with a little piece of wood
whose echo sent so many of his friends
and associates to political oblivion.
The Washington times., 1911-03-04

4 venerable gray-bearded man, with
eyes fixed on a clock, with voice that
quaVered as he spoke, held gavel
aloof in the House of Representatives
at noon today, waved an official good
by to saddened colleagues who sat
silent at their desks before him-and
let the gavel fall.
The SiXty-first Congress had ad-
journed without day. In a second s
time Joseph G. Cannon-for it was he
who occupied the center of this stage of
political tragedy-had ceased to be
Speaker, and, in the drawing in of
ones breath had made III of his asso-
ciates mere private citizens.
With the echo of the gaVers descent
ringing in their. ears they began to file
out-these men whose legislative work
had ended perhaps for all time The
political associations of years were a
thing of the past. They turned their
faces toward home and retirement.
"Good-By Day" in Congress.
1t was "good-by day" in the House, as
it was, to certain degree, in the Sem
ate. They tried TO smile as they said
farewell, but the smile was of the lips,
worked side by side for years. who
have clashed in debate only to forget in
the cloak rooms. who have fought under
party banners only to yield to every
other man the right to do the same,
do not say goOd-by with light hearts.
The scene in the House today was un-
usual in this respect. 1t was no ordi-
nary adjournment of a Congress. Not
in sixteen years has the inexorable law
of political fortunes so thinned the
ranks OF men who have served long to-
gether. The House has lost some mem
bers 1t i'll could afford to lose. Every
man on the floor watched, as something
gripped the heart and welled up in the
throat, the exit of a friend whose going
meant regret.
The Ties That Bind.
If such things brought sadnessyto the
Senate, that feeling was intensified in
the lower body. 1t has been said that
the spirit of comradship is stronger
there. There is opportunity for closer
fellowships, the list of ones acquaint-
anCes is larger, the terms of the mem
bers are shorter. and those who come
and stay and assume place of honor in
the forefront of national affairs seems
all the more marked when their political
careers are terminated
1t is no wonder then, that il was an
occasion of long hand-clasps and now
and then tear or so in the House Of
Representatives today. Some their were
who turned their backs upon score of
years of service in that body. Perhaps
few of them who retire now to private
life may come back again. The vast ma
jOTity of them never will. The friend
ships they have formed, the assOcia-
tions they have made. the good or the
evil they have done. Is chrOniCled as
thing OF the past.

have the time and can easily pro-
vide the facilities that would enable
them to have chickens and duck

prices are highest if they would only
take the necessary trouble, and this
without seriously interfering with
their efforts at egg production.
Where winter breeding is under

carry it out properly. One of the
first things to consider is the fowls

but I question very much whether
this is. desirable. A good deal more
experience, especially experience
which has been under careful OBJ
servation, it is necessary to deter
mine the effect Of prolonged breeding
upon the vigor Of the chichens so
produced Therefore, lam inclined
to think that wherever winter breed
ing is taken up it will be better to
use special breeding stock. In fact,
in some directions it is essential to
do so. Take the case of ducklings;
| if we go in for breeding ducklings
we must have young fowls to give
US eggs early in the season. If we
depend entirely upon older fowls,
as rule, we shall be disappointed.
Under these circumstances breed
ers generally are obliged to resort to
the use of young stock in the breed
ing:pens in order to secure the neces-
sary eggs at the right time. This in
itself is undesirable, unless the pro-
geny are all to be marketed, and
should not be resorted to more than
we can possibly help. Very often
the progeny from these young fowls
appear, in the first instance, pretty
nearly as vigorous as those from
older stock, but it is known that
there is a certain amount of loss of
vigor as a result of breeding from
immature fowls, and that this prac-
tice. carried out season after season,
has a good deal to do with reduced
vitality and greater tendency to
disease on the part of our domestic
poultry. Still, we cannot help our
selves and must, if we go in for
this branch of the trade. utilize the
earlier laying qualities of the young
stock.
Where. however, the chief mis-
take is made is that, say, a pen is
mated in October or November con-
sisting of cockerel and several
! bullets. From these we obtain eggs
which are used for Matching winter
chickens. The right way to pro-
coed would be, as soon as the older
hens begin laying as they will prob

Winter Breeding for Market Stock
g An Experts Opinion on this Phase Of Poultry Work

The practice of breeding in late
fall or winter is one which has
always to some extent been adopted
by those who go in for special
branches of table poultry pro-
duction, but under ordinary cir
cumstances the general poultry
keeper does not attempt breeding
during the winter months, especial
" where his main object is egg pro-
duction, says a writer in the Michi-
gan Farmer. In France it is GUS
tomary among poultry keepers gen
orally not to commence setting hens
until after Shrove Tuesday, and in
Denmark I found that the bulk of
the Matching takes place during the
latter part of March and the month
Of April. Under these circumstan-
ces it will be seen that the work is
simplifed to considerable extent,
/ but that the period during which
young fowls are available for mar
ket is considerably shortened. Still
where egg production has been the
main object, poultry farmers have
seemed averse 70 extending the
period of Matching and rearing, many
even failing to appreciate the me-
cessity of getting chicks out of the
shells three or four weeks in advance
Of the natural Matching period If
they would insure an egg supply
for the following winter. Anyhow,
such an advance of the Matching
season would hardly be termed
winter breeding.
The main purpose in breeding in
the winter season is that of placing
upon the market chickens, duck
llngs, ETC., at a time when they
command the highest price by rea-
son of their scarcity. This work
has been largely in the hands OF
those who may be termed breeders
OF table poultry, yet there is no
good reason why the ordinary poul-
Try farmer should not produce such
young fowls for the winter market.
10 the man who has adopted the
Incubator system of Matching, as
well as to the one who contem-
plates obtaining machine during
sne coming winter, Matching during
The cold months will suggest some
advantages aside from meeting the
demands of a good market. 1t will
al least serve to prevent the incuba-
"rs standing idle through so large a
part OF the year and, under right
conditions, should make them yield
materially greater return on their
purchase price. As to whether the
conditions and facilities warrant en-
saglng in this line of production,
however, is a question which can
oniy be answered by the individual
himself, but there can be little doubt
