Expense Of Keeping a Shetland.

The cost Of keeping a Shetland
is so small that the maintenance of
one is negligible factor in the
family expenses. In the summer
one will get a good share of his
living from a good sized lawn.
Where one is forced to keep a
Shetland in the stable and feed
him it may be figured that the
cost of keeping one will be about
one-sixth of that required to keep
a road horse of average size. This
estimate is based on the statement
of Shetland breeder that on the
average he is able to keep six
Shetlands on the same amount of
forage and grain which he has
found it necessary to provide for
one of his road horses.
For the light use which a small
child will give a Shetland it will
be found unnecessary, as a rule, 10
feed the pony any grain. If the
pony is given a great zeal of work
in harness or under saddle and his
driver is a boy or girl of from
twelve to fifteen years of age some
grain should be given, enough to
keep the little fellow in good con-
dition, but as rule pint each of
bran and oats twice day will be
sufficient,
Beyond the feed for a Shetland
there is little to be added to the
cost of keeping him. These hardy
little ponies are so seldom sick
that the veterinary is rarely need
ed. If they are driven on the
paved city streets or on brick or
stone roads they should be shod,
but as they wear their shoes out
slowly and at most only require to
be shod during the summer
months the shoer's bill is not of
any great Importance.

A Virginia Device.

An interesting device used by
the Taft managers in Virginia is
told with humor in Washington.
In Norfolk city ordinance reads
thus:
No colored person shall use as a
place of public meeting or as
sembly any house, building,
structure, or premises, on any
white city block in the city of
Norfolk. No colored person
or persons shall occupy or use for
any purpose, etc.
When the Taft managers called
the local convention to send dele
gates to the National Convention,
they named Odd Fellows Hall as
the meeting place. Naturally, no
negroes turned up, and the con-
vention, presumably, consisted, as
is the rule throughout the South,
merely of the handful of white
officeholders, their male relatives,
and friends. This is the least
high handed of the means used by
the Taft managers; it violates no
statue, and it might pass as one of
humorous ingenuities of practical
politics-if it were not for this
clause in the official call for the
Republican National Convention:
In no State shall an election be
so held as to prevent the delegates
from any Congressional district
and their alternates being selected
by the Republican electors of that
district.
How a contesting delegation
from this district would be treated
by the Republican National Com
mittee would probably depend on
the State of public feeling with
regard to this sort of thing.

The Republican Party.

Try as it may, the Republican
party cannot be progressive. 1t
numbers in it's column a rather
impressive list of Governors,
United States Senators, Repre-
tives in Congress and lesser public
officers of marked ability and
pronounced progressiveness in all
that every day usage has attached
to the word progressive" Yet
all these, after conquering Cannon
and Aldrich and disrupting their
congressional machine, are over
powered and swept aside when the
collective Republican organizations
of the various States in the Union
are set in motion. What there is
of progressiveness in the Republi-
can party is overshadowed and
submerged in what there is of I'M
progressiveness in the same party,
and that may he accounted the
reason why we find no Progress
sive" candidate seriously in the
field for the Republican presi-
Dental nomination, President
Taft is Stand-patter. Theodore
Roosevelt is not Progressive. If
anything, he is Radical.
1t is true that Senator Robert
M. La Toilette is in the field, but
his canvass has been so utterly un-
successful as to be both discour-
aging and injurious to the cause
he represents.
Various Republican papers have
suggested that both President Taft
and Theodore Roosevelt could
serve their party best by with
drawing from the contest. 1t is
proposed that they get together
behind candidate who would be
acceptable to all factions. Asso-
ciate Justice Charles E. Hughes is
very generally picked as the man
best fitted to meet these require
ments, while Senator Cummips is
also mentioned. Politicians do
not anticipate, however. any such
turn of affairs and are taking their
places behind one or the other of
the two pronounced leaders
Roosevelt and Taft.
