Ten Wilson Reasons.

1t is conceded by all that the cleo
ton Of Governor Wilson means an i'm
mediate downward revision of the tar
if. This is the cause of the wild out
cry in certain quarters against the
election of Governor Wilson.
The wool trust is crying out against
the election of Governor Wilson and
the downward revision of the tariff
The cotton mill trust is crying out
against the election of Governor Will
son and the downward revision of the
tariff
The harvester trust is crying out
against the election of Governor Will
son and the downward revision of the

The sugar trust is crying out

son and the downward revision of the

the election of Governor Wilson and
the downward revision of the tariff

George W. Perkins, political agent
of the Morgan interests and the asso-

Frank A. Munsey. press agent of the
steel trust, is crying out against the

Theodore Roosevelt, all things to all
trusts, the side show by which the lin
terests" hope to divert public atten-
ton from the real issues of the cam
paign, is crying out against the cleo

ward revision of the tariff.
These are ten unanswerable reasons
why Governor Wilson should be elect

hundred pounds of live weight.
Various roughages, all of which
were grown ON the farm, were fed.
The corn fodder, usually shredded,
was fed in the early winter together
with clover hay, and later in the
spring oat straw was given instead OF
tho corn fodder.
The following summer the calves
were given good bluegrass pasture
and In addition a liberal grain ration.
The ration was not changed in compo-
sition from that previously fed. When
the grass was in the flush of growth
the grain ration was somewhat de-
creased. During the entire grass sea-
son personal attention was given to
the feeding so that the calves woult
not be overfed. If overfed the cost
is not only increased but the steers
get out of condition and frequently

such light-fnished beeves. In com
putting the cost for our productions we
found that each calf had eaten from
81 to 30 bushels of corn, valued al
$16.20; 6 bushels of oats at $24O; cot
ION seed meal, $3.50; grass, SO; hay
and fodder, $40, which, together with
the cost of keeping the COW and the
interest, made total cost for produc-
ton of about SIS Our young stock
varied in price from $6.75 to SO a
hundredweight, making an average OF
$3.50, which gave us a cash value of
about sos head. This left total
of over $40 clear profit, charging our
work against the manure produced and
the satisfaction of seeing the grains
and roughages marketed at home and
the land appreciably increased in fer
tility and condition.

SELECTING GOOD
DAIRY ANIMALS
Systematic Plan Of Examining
Calves Needed to Bring Herd
Improvement.
By w. M. KELLY)

MANY dairymen make practice ~
raising every heifer calf and fail to ge
results. Then they select the heifel'
calves from the best producing cows
and get nearer to what they want. but
still there are many inferior COW 8
raised by them.
1t is not until we begin to carefully
examine every heifer calf that we can
conduct any systematic plan of i'm
proving the quality of the dairy herdH
for, unless the calves are good indi
viduals and have, stamina and strong
vigorous constitutions, no matter hoN
literally they are fed, some will
fail to come up to the qualities of their
dams.
Every heifer calf should be care
fully examined and If they show signs
of weakness they should not be raised.
Open their mouths, and if you find
after examining their teeth. that you
can see but four of the milk teeth, you
can make up your mind that such a
calf is hardly worth raising.
Many raise their calves, but few turn
out to be profitable cows. Next ex.
anime the navel and teats. If the
teats are not placed in their right
position do not waste your time and
food trying to make good COW out
Of such a calf.
When we find a heifer calf th&A
comes up to our standard or require
..o,,ta oDd urhan wa dpcida IN kaon a
we must not forget that its value al
COW depends largely upon the treat,
ment that it receives during the f1rst
two years Of its life.
Calves must be well cared for anI
fed in such a manner that they will
never lose their calf flesh.
After they are few months old
they should be turned out and allowed
plenty Of exercise and good air so that
they may build up strong muscles and
good strong organs Of respiration

There has been a great deal of Cos

jaime, younger son of King Alfonso

defective. A recent dispatch from
Madrid announces that nine phys

on his case and pronounce him per
fectly normal, though he is afflicted
with an affection of the ears which
has persisted since his birth. When
there is any shadow of basis for sen

imous in accepting the theory that
whale fisheries are playing out on &C.
count of the extinction of the whales.
One captain who notes that his ship
and another made a kill of 1877 last
year and only 81 this year, thinks the
recent volcanic disturbances have
made changes in ocean currents that
have diverted the small fish on which
the whales depend for food. He thinks
that in time the whales will be back
In their old-tlme haunts, or discovered
In their new ones.

| NO DANGER OF A DEADLOCK
Woodrow Wilson Will Easily Have a
Majority of Votes in the
Electoral College.

Those Worried" gentlemen who
are wondering what will happen If no
presidential candidate gets majority
of the electoral votes this fall may
calm their troubled minds-if they
possess such.
The contingency that is troubling
them will not arise.
A gentleman named Woodrow Will
son will have a majority OF the votes
in the electoral college, with a con-
siderable number to spare.
He will have them because he is the
only candidate before the country who
is basing his campaign on the needs
and rights Of the whole American peo-
pie.
He is the only candidate before the
country to whom the people can look
for reduction of the high cost of liv-
ing.
He is the only candidate before the
country who is under no obligation to
about the tariff-and his mind on this
point is the mind of the nation.
He is the only candidate before the
country who is under no obligation to
special interests, and free to give his
entire service to the people.
Mr.. Taft wants to be "vindicated."
Mr. Roosevelt wants to wear the
jeweled crown of king.
Governor Wilson wants nothing but
an opportunity for public service. He
will get 1t.

WHO IS PROTECTED?.
BENEFITS THAT LABOR GETS
FROM THE TARIFF ARE VERY
SLIGHT INDEED.
SOME COTTON MILL FIGURES
FalIacy Of Republican Arguments Con-
corning the Textile Trade Is Pitl-
Iessly Exposed by Official State Sta
tlstlcs Gathered In Massachusetts,.

We have seen in this campaign few
things more delicious than the Repub.
lican campaign document in which
Theodore Justice speaks of the tex
tile trade where the protective bene-
fits of the tariff nearly all go to labor"
Well, If they do, they are very slight
The Massachusetts bureau of statistics
has shown that while only So per cent.
of the $4,000 men, women and chill
dren in all the industries get less than
$40 a week, rs per cent. of the cotton
workers get less than that amount
More than half the wage earners COW
cred by this report receive less than
$40 a week. And they are practically
all protected. In the Massachusetts
cotton mills about half the employees
receive less than So a week. 1t was
not long ago shown that in one of the
highly protected industries 40 per
cent of the employees did not make a
living wage.
Figures might be piled high but
those we have given will serve. 1t
may be laid down as a general prin-
ciple that wages in protected indus
tries are almost without exception low
err than those in unprotected indus
tries Wages of from 81 to $40 week
can hardly be called generous AS a
matter Of fact, they are not enough to
enable those who get them to main
tain "the American standard of liv-
ing" There are certain men who talk
who seem to feel that employers kid
nap the children and make them work
in the mills. The truth, of course, is
that in our protected industries wages
are often so low that it is necessary
for wives and children to go to work
in order to help support the family
1t is surprising that Mr.. Justice and
others like him should think that the
American people can longer be fooled
by the old arguments" The figures
that disprove the theory are within the
reach of all. 1t is simply absurd to
say that in the textile industries the
protective benefits of the tariff nearly
all go to labor" The fact is other
wise. In Mr.. Lauck's Atlantic article,
entitled "a Real Myth" is this:
"A yard of mans worsted suiting
was found by the tariff board to cost
an American mill S1.71 to place on the
market The rate of payment to the
weaver on this cloth was ascertained
to be only cents yard, but the pres
ent tariff duty is S1.02."
If we credit to protection the whole
cents which the laborer receives
which is absurd, since he would get
something, tariff or no tariff-we still
have 81 cents of the tariff duty to ac-
count for Manifestly it does not go
to the workman for he gets only S
cents. We fear that it finds it's way
into the pockets of the employer Here
Is protective duty of $1.02 designed
to cover the difference between labor
costs here and abroad, and yet the
total labor cost is cents. Mr.. Justice
can hardly expect the American work
ingmen to accept this statement. II
this is the best that protection can
do it is in bad way.-Indianapoli

Palestine is fast becoming one OF
the great orange-growing countries OF
the world. Much fruit of excellent
quality is being shipped every year to
London and other markets in north
ern Europe, and this year the crop OF
the district near Jaffa, the port of
Jerusalem, is estimated at 100000
boxes. Farther up the Syrian coast
Tyre and Sidon are expected to reach
total of 100000 cases of oranges ex-
ported and 100000 cases of lemons.
For small country Palestine has
many interesting and valuable prod
ucts. Its olive groves are as produc'
tive as they are ancient, and its vine
yards yield grapes Of fine quality In
great abundance Notwithstanding the
drawback Of a sometimes very deflci-
ent and usually scanty water supply,
Syria produces large quantity of ex-
cellent food. But it is not easy to
think of Palestines exports'of oranges
without thinking of the UNNECESSARILY
more important exports and ideas
md ideals from that little country.
BY comparison with the moral and
spiritual forces which have gone out
from Syria to enrich the world, all the
products of the soil which can be
shipped from the ports as long as the
earth shall endure will be Of little
significance

THE SAVING HABIT.
KANs.

One of the most difficult and at the
same time most essential Of habits to
torn is that of saving. OF course,
there are many persons in all walks
Of life who, although they are In COM
Portable circumstances, are 80 penuri-
Dus as to be absolutely opposed to
parting even with their pennies Their
very lives are controlled by the idea
Of getting along with as little as pos
Sible even at the risk of earning for
themselves reputation for stingi-
ness. Such persons, however, make
up a class all to themselves. and gen.
orally deserve the contempt in which
they are held by their fellow-beings.
On the other hand, the spendthrift de-
serves as much, II not more, condem-
nation, perhaps. for the facility with
which he allows his often hard-earned
money to slip through his hands.
There is a golden mean between these
Two extremes of character and 1t Is
found in the ability of man to save
from his earnings sufficient for the
proverbial rainy day. The advantage

press its importance upon our minds.

A great lover of animals. Professor

no attention to her. His mind had
fwitched off on to some abstruse point
and he was lost to the world over the,
problem.
The duchess did not approve of this,
and presently, to attract his attention
she pulled him gently by the sleeve.
Then the professor woke up. Grab
bling q half-picked chicken bone from,
his plate, he thrust 1t under her
startled nose.
