EDITORIAL NOTES
BY j. d. WATSON

Committee did week before last, while
something unprecedented, was mere little
excursion run compared to what it has done
since then
If ever any person doubted that the Repub-
Hcan party was absolutely ruled and con-
trolled by political Bosses the doings of the
National Committee at Chicago have GER
tainly removed that doubt.
The manner in which the Committee has
turned down Roosevelt delegates and seated
Taft delegates would make such criminals Of
the Old school as Tweed blush with shame,
and as Mr.. Heney, the prosecuting attorney
who sent Abe Reuf, the noted San Francisco
CRATER, to the penitentiary, told the Com
mittee to it's face, if Abe Reuf were before
the Committee he-could learn things that he
never dreamed of in his palmiest days as q
CRATER
AS Mr.. Roosevelt charged, such defeated
and discredited bosses as Boise Penrose, of
Pennsylvania, and hurry Crane, Of Massa-
chusetts, although they had been overwhelm-
ingly repudiated at the ballot box by the peo-
pie of their respective states, brazenly over
rode the will of the people and gave Taft
the delegates that rightfully belonged to
Roosevelt.
AS an example of pure unauthorized poll
teal robbery there has never happened any

Chicago by the Taft National Committee
men-there will never happen anything in
this country to surpass it.
And think, many of these Taft partisans
who are committing these outrages are Mem
bers of Congress, who help make the laws for
the Nation.
When Senator Penrose and Senator Crane
publish to the world that they are criminals
that their faction in the Republican party
indorses criminal methods to carry out their
political ends-what is the country to expect
from them as lawmakers?
IF these men will shamelessly rob another
faction of their own party in order to give
the nomination to man whom a majority of
the voters of their party have said is not fit
to be President again, what ends would they
go to to defeat the opposition party in an
election?
IF these political bosses will openly COM
nit such crimes in order to maintain control
Of the party machinery, what will they do
against the people when the Special Interests
that control the bosses put the pressure to
bear on the bosses?
What chance have the people to get a
square deal in the way Of legislation when the
Special Interests have such brazen thieves in
Congress as Murry Crane and Boise Penrose?
If this Committee continues to steal from
Roosevelt, Roosevelt will lose the respect of
the people if he does not bolt the Conven-
ton and FIGHT Taft to the death ip the
November election.

John Munro Of the Munro dairies
seemed impressed with the idea, say
ing:
If 1t were not for the appearance
of the thing l would be inclined to
give it thorough trial. We have for
hidden our employees to make loud
noises, run q wheelbarrow through
the stables or use rough language, as
1t seems to reduce the milk supply.
II have noticed that woman gets
greater quantity of milk from a COW
than does the gentlest kind of man.
l believe this may be due to the fact
that practically every woman sings
softly as she milks''
While David Brown, manager Of the
Hazelwood company, is inclined to be
skeptical, having more confidence in
ensilage and good alfalfa, he says he
does not question that soft music has
soothing influence on cows, which Is
essential to prolific milk production.
He added:
Il am inclined to think there may
be more than a grain of truth in the
reasoning, but would not want Sousa
with his brass band to amuse my
cows. believe violin music would
get better results. In other words, l
would prefer Kubelik to Sousa to en-.
terrain our cows at milking time"

WASHINGTON. 49, improvements in
w present-day methods Of baking
bread in the field for the army over
the methods Of only a year or two ago
were seen in a demonstration at the
Washington barracks the other day,
before delegation of otncials from
the war department. Those present
were Gen. Henry G. Sharp, commits
sary general Of the United States
army; Col. David L. Brainard and Maj.
Henry g. Cole.
One Of the feats performed was the
loading Of an oven, capable of doing
the cooking for hundred and flfty SOL
diers, on a wagon in seven minutes
and three seconds. This was about
one-third OF the time which a similar
demonstration in oven packing had
consumed two years ago. according to
the officials.
No housewife or French chef could
have turned out a better dinner or
whittier, brown-crusted bread than did
the cooks in the open air with their
"take-down" ovens, in the opinion OF
the watchers.
Roast beef, that sent up a savory
odor, onion gravy that tempted the
palate, and strawberry shortcake, COW
cred with delicious icing, were only a
few of the things which were on the
bill OF fare. Capt. M. A. Elliott, Jr.,
who is In charge of the bakery at

Inspection, assured his visitors that

observance Of the feast Of spring. The
proper observance of this custom, it
was learned, was for the sacrifice of
four lambs annually. After the lambs
were killed the carcasses were piled
upon a fire and roasted, the meat OF

Lambs Are Slaughtered as Sacrifice

! East side residents saw several
men and women gathered about some
bleating lambs they held before them,
they thought little Of it. But when
they suddenly saw one of the men in
sert knife in the neck Of lamb
they were amazed. They crowded
closer and saw these same men hold
the dying lamb while men and women
stood about reverently, muttering
sounds taken to be prayers.
All this appeared strange to those
who watched, and one of them, who
was angered at the slaughter of the
lambs on the open lot in the residen-
tial district, called the police.
When the motor cops arrived they
found the watchers OF the lambs sur.
rounded by many other residents Of
the East side. The man who slaugh-
tered the first lamb cut the throat of
another. The live lambs stood near

Get More Milk by Serenading Cows

L ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Qa1TymeQ ana
- veterinarians and animal psycholo-
gists in the Spokane district and
throughout eastern Washington are
agreed that the theory advanced by
Josiah Grant of Wisconsin to increase
the milk supply by the Introduction Of
dreamy waltz music in the cow sta
bles Is reasonably logical and worthy
Of serious consideration.
Mrs. Joseph Rudersdorf, acting pres
ident of the Spokane Humane society,
Is confident the theory is correct, say
ing: Music affects and soothes every
animal or human being. Loud music
would cause an animal to be nervous,
while soft music, which would soothe
the nerves Of the COW, would naturally
increase the milk production"
DR.. Otto MING Of the veterinary
STAFF of the State Of Washington col
lege, who conducted experiments
along similar lines while preparing a
work on animal psychology, said the
man who ridiculed the Grant idea is
merely betraying his ignorance.
THAT idea Is not to be treated light
ly," said DR.. MING. Anything that
soothes the nerves aids in the milk
production. Cows, as other animals,
are attracted or repealed by sounds.
To use cusswords with your cows les
sens the milk production. I do not
question that soft music would have
the desired effect in increasing the
supply"
DR.. Walter Baker, also a member
of the staff, recalled an experiment
where dog secretes more saliva
while eating as music is being PLAYED,
and Endorses the plan.
