VETOING AS A LEGISLATIVE
POLICY.

Congress and the President appear
fairly to have entered upon an ex
change of vetoes, the conclusion Of
which can be nothing less than mis-
fortune to the country. -
Whether the statehood bill can be
passed over the Presidential veto, il
has received an aggregate vote greater
than two-thirds of Congress. If the
veto stands the President will have
put large proportion of his own
party's representatives in Congress in
the position of being compelled to de-
fend themselves, before their people,
against the attacks of the President.
There is going to be necessity for some
sort of platform declaration on the
issue of the Arizona constitution; and
it is manifest that whatever that
declaration shall be, it will be reached
only after a sharp division of the
party, in convention and in mass.
The tariff bills are all doomed to
veto, and the action of the Senate
Committee OH Foreign Relations
strongly suggests, at least, a willing
ness to "hand something back" to the
Executive. The President has declared
his purpose to fight for the arbitration
treaties; to carry his case to the
people. Unfortunately for him, and for
the outcome of such an appeal, tie
President commands but a modest
measure of public confidence and sup
port at this time. There is a vast
difference between Roosevelt's appeal
to the country and Taft's. Roosevelt
would have commanded instantly a
vast force of public support, especially
in an appeal from the Senate. 1t may
be said, in all frankness. that President
Taft will not. A President cannot
squander the whole fund of public con-
tidence that has been reposed in him
and still draw upon it for maintenance
Of his political solvency when he needs
to call in the reserves.
With the Arizona New Mexico bill
vetoed, the tariff measures. doomed to
go the same way, and the arbitration
treaties already assured of failure az
this session and doubtful issue in the
future, the deadlock between Executive
and Legislature is well-nigh complete.
1t is not a partisan affair, more's the
of the President. He is in
sharp antagonism to the Republican |
Senate as well as to the Democratic |
House; and appeal for popular support
must be directed against his OWN party |
as well as the opposition. Can the
President hope to be sustained in such
appeal?
1t seems certain that the arbitration
treaties will themselves suffer a de-
,ided impairment of their natural,
legitimate strength with
he country, by reason of the publc's
ack of confidence in the President.
When he has not been weakly vacillat-
ng, he has been for the greater part
n opposition to public sentiment Even
good measure, such as arbitration.
5 bound to suffer by reason of hav-
ng his support.

THE STENOGRAPHERS AND
THE EXECUTIVES,

The parallel which The Times pre-
sented yesterday between the case of
the two Government stenographers, Mr..
Kerby and Miss Davis, has called forth
considerable comment. Mr.. Kerby WAS
dismissed in disgrace because, in order
to protect the public interest, he be
trayed the confidence of his employ
ment. Miss Davis was subjected to
ignominious treatment in the effort to
compel her to betray the condolences of
her employment.
Entirely aside from the considera-
ton of ethical standards actuating
high officials in such treatment of
Government employees, there is one
occasion for sincere congratulation in
connection with the exposure of these
two remarkable cases.
The stenographers both remained
loyal to the real, the essential interest
of their employment. They both stood
squarely by their public duty. 1t IS
more than can be said of the higher
officials who, in both cases, seem to
have expected that mere stenographers
could be relied upon to display loyalty
to their superiors rather than to the
public interest.
These two incidents reflect only
credit upon the rank and file of the
great civil service army that does the
real work of the Government. Politics
and the mutations of personal for
tunes may cause greater or lesser ex-
ecutives to come and go; policies may
change, the larger purposes of great
Government establishments may be
modified by influences exerted at the
top and dominated by sordid con-
siderations. But so long as the great
body of men and women who must
do the work of the Government are
loyal to the better ideals of public
service, the people are likely not to be
permanently or very disastrously be-
trayed.
Contemplation of such cases as
these can only inspire the more earnest
wish that the great mass of humble
hard working, unknown, and generally
ill-paid workers of the civil service
may before long come into recognition
for their real merits and deserts.
So many have been the occasions
when the loyalty and the intelligence
of these lower ranks of workers have
stood between the real public interest
and the higher officials who would have
betrayed that interest that it seems
the simple duty of Congress to give
some attention to the needs and the
deserts of the great mass of permanent
employees.
1t is senseless to hope that the high
standards of service and devotion,
which are so well illustrated in such
incidents as those of Mr.. Kerby and
Miss Davis, will be maintained per-
manently unless there IS recognition of
the high quality of service which, as
a whole, is rendered throughout the
executive departments. Unless re-
is made possible, so that
the right kind of men and women can
afford to remain in these positions, and
so that more of the same kind can be |
drawn in as they are needed, such
of devotion and unselfish-
ness will surely become more and more
rare.

RAISING CATTLE FOR BEEF
Cattle Should Be Selected From Such
Breeds as Shorthorns, Here
fords, Angus and Galloway.
(By W. B. RICHARDs)

Many farmers continue to raise
cattle for market for beef purposes
from stock that do not possess any
blood of the beef breed, and conse
quently they lack what is known as
the beef type. 1t is impossible tc
produce beef economically from cat
tie of the dairy type, or even from
cattle that possess any considerable
amount of this blood.
To produce an animal Of the beet
type it is necessary to use the beef
breeds of cattle, such as the Short
horns, Herefords, Aberdeen Angus,
and Galloway. Cattle Of this breed.
ing put on flesh very much more rap,
idly and of better quality.
A beef animal could be described in
a general way as a low Gown compact
blocky animal. He must have a short
blocky head a wide breast, a deep
wide chest, a broad back, good
spring of rib, heavy full thighs. He
must have a pliable mellow skin, for
this quality indicates a good fleshing
tendency.
