Ungrateful to q Friend.

California at last seems to have be-
gun to see the administration of Mr..
Taft with more reasonable eyes. Its
voters find that it is and has been one
of little noise, but with good deal of
achievement, and as result they begin
to ask, themselves why Mr.. Taft and
his party are to be treated in their State
in q most reprehensible manner. In
other words, passion is subsiding and
common sense is resuning command of
the situation.
The fact is, that during the admins
tration of Mr.. Taft things have Been
achieved of which the intelligent people
in that State have had reason to be
proud of. The President has been a
particularly good friend to California,
but how quickly and easily this has
been forgottenl Through his personal
efforts he secured for San Francisco
and California the great Panama Expo
sition, just to mention one instance Of
his kindness to that State. His reward
has been abuse. His name has not been
allowed on the ballot for reelection
He has been traduced there with ex-
ceptional bitterness, and the Governor
of that Commonwealth, which owes him
so. very much, is travelling from place
to place maligning him with vitupera-
ton that passes all bounds of decency.

Why Not Mutton2

The. dietitians say that mutton is
every whit as nourishing as beef. The
meat of the full-grown sheep for CEN
turies has been popular in Great Brit
ain. Yet here many of the poor as well
as the rich eschew it for lamb and
beef, for which they must pay hand
somely. The big crops of this year car-
not lower the cost of beef. animals. The
tremendous demand for beef caused tie
farmers. to sell most of the breeders
and their young, and the dwindled stock
will not be replenished,. so Secretary
Wilson says. for some years to come.
He also says:
1t is difficult to see why mutton is 50
much neglected. The price of beef in
the market shows an astonishing varia-
ticn between cattle and sheep. People,
VITO ELd il impossible to make ends
meet by buying beef, could get excel
len: meat from the sheep.
Does the Housewives League realize
this fact, emphasized by the testimony
of the secretary of the American Meat
Packers Association, that we have
less beef animals in the country to-
day than We. had ten years ago, ard an
animal costs twice as much?"
Why not begin a campaign of educs-
tion among consumers in favor of
mutton?
