CHARACTERISTIC Of TAFT.

Taft vetoed the Webb or Kenyon bill.
Withholding his veto to the last day OF
ten allowed him. The senate urged
by Kenyon promptly passed 1t over his
veto by a vote Of SO to 81. The house
is expected to give the bill similar at
tention.
This was about the last chance that
the president had to leave a bad taste
in the mouth of the country, and with
characteristic aptitude he took it.
Characteristically, also he took such
advantage as he could by waiting I'M
til the last day in the afternoon. The
senate took the view that he had de-
layed his veto purposely in order to
embarass the law making body. That
view assisted to NAKED the rebuke
handed back to Taft more impressive.
President Taft, perhaps, was OF
opinion that the law would not stand
up before the supreme court. Per-
haps that is why he vetoed it. How
ever, he is not called upon TO exercise
the duties of that court and the bill.
passing as it did with empressement
thru both houses Carrying the approval
of legislative branches both strong IN
sood lawyers and jurists might have
appealed to a different man as worthy
an appearance before the supreme
court for a final decision as to its con-
stitutionality. Taft vetoed it in the Taft
fashion which is bull-headed where it
is rot vacillating. vacillating where II
is not bull headed.
The liquor interests have confidently
predicted the veto. The liquor dealers
associations thru their active press bu-
reaus have asserted positively that the
president would veto the bill. Assum-
ing that they had no advance informa-
ton or assurance the least that can be
said is that they are might good guess
ers.
The concensus of the best thought
and opinion turnout the country IA
vor this law. If the veto sticks in the
house and the bill fails the passage Of
the same or a similar law is but de-
layed. 1t is generally accepted that
sttae should have control Of its own
business of liquor restriction. Those
who are Of the other side are those TO
whom restrictive laws are barriers TO
g. vicious business which returns huge
profits.
Taft goes out of office characteristic
ically. And few mourn his departure.

THE DAYLIGHT SALOON.


There is a bill pending in the Iowa
legislature which seeks to regulate the
saloon to daylight hours only. The bill
should become law because it will be
a help the saloon, whose owner is
obeying the law in that the bad type
of saloons will have to go out of bus
mess. Also it viii keep the lower type
OF humanity from making the saloon
gathering place and will tend to give
the saloon keeper less trouble.
We recall a conversation with an
Omaha saloon man following the en-
actment OF the Nebraska daylight bill.
He told us that AT first ne anu ali the
liquor men had fought the bill but
after they had seen 1t in operation for
over year they preferred IT to the oie
plan. He gave the reasons outlined
above as to his change of heart. I'm

was defying the law by running sev-
eral side lines, or joints. had to quit

Regulating Peolreoms.


Mayor Harrison has revoked the H.
censes OF two poolroom- keepers whose
places were held to be disorderly. The
police are conducting a vigorous cam
paign against such resorts. and their
efforts are finding announcement and
support in the municipal court.
1t is well known that some Of these
places Of amusement when frequented
by minors are veritable schools Of
crime. "Poolroom gangs are readily
formed and they are responsible for
much lawbeaking. Poolrooms are pub
lie places, as are the saloons. and the
tough poolroom, like the tough saloon,
can be suppressed by revocation Of it's
license.
Government is organized for the pre-
vention of crime as well as for the de-
lection and punishment Of the GRIM
inals The field for prevention is con-
stantly expanding, and it is fortunate
that the courts recognize wide powers
in this respect. Public resorts that tend
to encourage vice, crime or idleness
should be closed or reformed. Careful
regulation is especially needed Of all
resorts that cater to the young.

A FOOLISH MEASURE.


OF all illogical bills before the Iowa
legislature, the Chase bill for wom-
ans suffrage referendum. recently
passed by the senate. takes the cake. 1t
provides that an election shall be held
at which the women of Iowa may ex-
press themselves on the subject of suf-
frage.
Senator Allen declared it was a
question of whether suffrage was
right or privilege.
If right, then it would make no
difference how many or how few WON :
en- want it; those that want 1t SHOULD
have it, and the result of this special
women's election would make absolute
ly no difference. a right is a right

ballot not thru consideration OF no."
they would us it, or how many wanted
it. but because it was recognized as
their right under free institutions.
Even if the ballot ne regarded as a
privilege" to be given or withheld at
the whini of the present rulers, IL sun
seems quite wrong TO withhold even
privilege" from one woman because
her sister does not want it.
There Is no doubt that this scheme
is a frame-up 10 stem the tide toward
suffrage and divert the argument from
the real question in dispute TO the eX-
traneous question of how many wom-
en- would vote after the franchise was
given.
If the legislature wants some guide,
let il take the result in GTiHncH the
other day, when, at sort of special
election of the women, the vote Was
663 to IS for suffrage.

DUMPING IT oS CLARK.
IHampton Chronicle.l


Governor c.. w. Clarke. as did ever
other candidate for governor previous
TO the election. stated that he was
against the proposition Of the state
board of education in its attempt 10
disrupt the present system OF the state
colleges. Under the action OF the leg
islature yesterday it will be up 10 Gov
ernor Clarke TO make good. He Will
have the appointment OF three or four
members OF the board during his first
term Of office.
Governor Clarke knows that the
people of Iowa, almost unanin ousiy,
are against the action OF the board, and
the fact that the Legislative commit
tees. especially III the senate, have been
loaded with sympathizers of the board,
does not change matters a particle.
We believe that Clarke Will stand win
the people for a square deal.

PIsds. Of Civic Loyalty.

The College of the City of New York
is contriving ways of making its activi-
ties more directly related to commun-
ity uplift. To this end it is devising
ways of enlisting it's teachers and it's
students, mainly Jewish. in concrete
forms of social service. by methods
that extend collegiate influence far
beyond class room and laboratory. Up
on all persons receiving degree from
the college that denotes complete
academic work there is now laid the
duty of subscribing to an oath which
reads thus:
We will never bring disgrace to these
arms (of the city, by any act of dis
honesty or cowardice. We will never
desert our suffering comrades in the
ranks. We will fight for the ideals and
sacred things of the city, both alone
and with the many. We will revere
and obey the city's laws. and do our
best to incite like respect and rever-
ence in those about us who are prone
to set them at naught. We will strive
ever to do our whole duty as citizens,
and thus. in all these ways. to trans
nit the city not only not less. but
greater. better and more beautiful than
it was transmitted to us.
Having taken this oath. the graduate
forthwith is reckoned as Son of the
City" and is given chevron on which
the city arms are worked.
Civic pledges. like those of matri-
mony, religion and finance, are subject
to occasional discount. But in each
realm a vow has more value than the
word ordinarily spoken. The city OF
Athens, where an oath similar to the
one above quoted marked the advent to
civic service Of Grecian lads. prospered
in a direct ratio because of the custom.
II is more difficult to be recreant to
duty after a solemn promise that
obedience shall not be lacking. The rit-
ual of the process OF becoming citi-
zen may we'll be developed in Amer
lea. Hitherto the state has been re-
miss in this field, and it is significant
to see a college taking the matter up
and committing itself 10 an annual
ceremony Of enlistment. Initiated. this
rite of civic oath-taking may have a,
tonic effect upon many youth who
need just some such touch of the ro-
mantle and chivalric to enlist them as
local patriots

any in your ways. Farmers nowadays
have to squirt up, William. They have
to listen and learn Now if you didn't
laugh so much at things you've never
tried you might get this note paid
off,"
Don't be in the William class. Think
over few modern thoughts. Take on
a few new methods. Weigh the milk.
Test it every week or ten days. Don't
be stubborn, like the farmer who said
they amt no sech animal" when he
saw his first giraffe.
While the type or form of the COW is
an indication Of her value as dairy
animal, this should not be taken as
final proof of her ability as an econom-
zeal producer. After the cows are in
the herd, there Is no excuse for rec
ords of production not being known.
Such records can be kept and used to
distinguish between the profitable and
Improbable animals in the herd. To
dispose of the latter and raise the
heifer calves from the best COWS, Is
sure to increase the productiveness
and profits of the herd.
Send to the dairy department of the
agricultural college for some milk
sheets. They won't cost you cent.
Get proper milk pail Buy a pair of
spring balance scales. Put the milk
sheet on the wall of the barn; fasten a
pencil nearby ON a string. Suspend
the scales from the ceiling. There you
are, all ready.
Keep a complete record of the milk
from each COW from the time she
freshens until she is dry. Figure up
the total amount of milk given during
the milking period and calculate the
income from each COW, figuring the
milk sold at the current market prices.
If the milk is sold by the gallon, as
certain the number of gallons of milk
weighs S.66 pounds. A COW must make
an income Of at least $35 per year be-
fore she pays for her food and care.
The exact cost of her feed can be OBJ
tanned by keeping record OF the
grain and hay she eats, and figuring
the cost at the market prices of the
feed.
Where the milk is separated and
the cream sold on the butter-fat basis,
one must keep record OF the pounds
of butter fat produced by each COW.
To do this, the milk must be weighed
each day as described and tested by
the Babcock test Testing a sample Of
milk once a month Is sufficient for this
record. To get sample of milk for
testing, take small sample (about
three tablespoonsfulD of milk from
the milk Of each COW for each milking
for two days. The milk should be
thoroughly mixed before sampling.
Place this milk from each COW in a
separate bottle and label the sample
from each COW. Test each sample
for butter fat by the Babcock test as
described below
To find the amount OF butter fat pro-
duced by each COW for the month. find
the total amount of milk given during
the month and use the test as OBJ
tanned from the two days sample as
the average test for the month.
