Battle of the Bears.

The veracious correspondent
at Sheffield, Pa, sent out a dis
patch Tuesday night about how
a farmer got hold of 400 pounds
of fine honeycomb with little
effort on his part. From behind
a tree he watched two bears fight
over this honey. It was a fierce
battle and ended in the death of
both bears. The, farmer then
got 4 wagon and hauled away
both bears and honey.
A suspicion arises as to wheth-
er the correspondent at Sheffield
was dealing in news or allegory.
He may have bees thinking of the
result of various elections, The
bears represented the Republi-
can and Progressive parties,
while the lucky and undeserving
farmer represented the Demo-
cratic party, which carried off
the offices.-Globe Democrat.

1t is to be hoped that the op-
tomiStic view of the Democrats
will be justified by tie expert
ence of business men, manufac-
turerS and farmers, because
they all enjoy and appreciate
prosperity and Omfortable liv-
ing and will accept these things
graciously il they come about as
a result of Democratic legisla-
ton, but logical deduction and
actua' experience are against the
Democratic view. Ordinary
reasoning leads to the simple
conclusion that American factor
les, farms and business concerns
cannot pay pay high rents, high
rates of interest, high wages
and high prices for raw mater
ials if they must meet in the
home markets the competition
of foreign factories, farms and
business concerns operated with

Cheap Rations For Dairy Cows.

Many farmers have corn silage,
timothy hay and and wheat, but
are short on corn. With wheat
cheaper than corn, pound for
pound wheat is the more econo
mical feed. 1t has the same feed
ing value as corn. With the
above feeds, cottonseed meal is
the only feed that need be bought.
The wheat and cottonseed meal
should be mixed in the same pro-
portions as corn and cottonseed
meal:-3 parts chopped wheat to
one part cottonseed meal. Acow
giving two gallons of milk a day
should receive daily about 35
pounds of silage,. .all the hay she
will eat and about 81 pounds of
the grain mixture The grain
in this case is fed at the rate of
one pound for each ) pounds of
milk the COW produces. If COW
peas or clover hay is available
and there is no silage, the hay
will take the place of the silage.
A COW will eat between Is and 20
pounds of good hay each day.
If corn fodder and timothy or
cane hay is the only roughage
the cows should receive
all they will eat and the grain in
this case should be fed l pound
for about every 2pounds of milk
the COW produces daily.

ing strength in those states,
which alone is sufficient evidence
that the people there are not well
enough pleased with Democratic
government to give it applause
and support. The Democratic
party is ruling as a minority
party and stands unindorsed in
its policies by majority OF the
people. If we may take the
heavy gains the Republican re-
turns of last week show over
those of a year ago, the elections
indicate a reproval of the present
administration, rather than an
Endorsement, for it is clear that
many Progressives preferred to
return to their old allegiance
rather than support Wilson's
policies by voting with the Dem
ocrats, or even throwing their
votes away through casting them
for the Progressive candidates.
The Times also says that the
defeat of Tammany IN New York
City. too. is an Endorsement of
Wilson'S reform, progressive adj
ministration, yet the Democrats
played no part and rendered no
aid as political organization in
the accomplishment of this great
reform. The Wilson administra
tion was quietly in sympathy
with Tammany instead of being
against it.

The Wilson administration was
indorsed by the people in five out
of six states in the elections last
Tuesday. Pennington Times,
The Endorsement of the Wilson
administration at the late cleo
tions iy merely relative, depend
ing altogether on the point of
view. If the voting of the Dem
ocratic ticket by the Democrats
mean an Endorsement, then, of
course, the administration was
approved; but if Endorsement
means approval by majority of
the votes of such states as went
on record last week, then the
Wilson administration has fallen
far short of a general approval.
It is true that, in most of the
states that he'd elections this fall
the Democrats have captured the
Offices in the same way that they
won them last year, through the
division of the Republican party.
So far as the returns indicate,
the Democratic party did not
make any gains whatever in vot.

Uncle Sans Best Seller.

Books containing twelve 2-cent
stamps have heretofore been sold
for a quarter. That one cent ex-
ira represented big profit to
the government. although the ay-
erage buyer would think there
would be little in it. Now new
book with twenty four 2-cent
stamps and twenty-four ones is
on sale for 73 cents. Here, too,
there is a cent profit, but, of
course, the margin is not so great
as in the earlier issue. Stamp
books are an appreciated convent
ence and the sale is large.

The Making OF Anarchist.

In Kansas City the other day,
a one,armed Italian, unkept,
emaciated, showing the pinch of
poverty in every feature walked
into an attorneys office, and in
broken English, inquired what
would be done with him il he
stole food for his hungry little
ones. In surprise the lawyer ex-
planned it could mean but one
thing-the peritentiary. Then
Ricabacchi told his story.
Lured by the promise of better
wages. a vision Of prosperity for
himself and loved ones before
him, he came from Italy to this
land of the free and home of
the brave" Work there was in
plenty, and even q one armed
man found employment. But
the employer proved to be a ras-
cal and refused to pay the hard
earned money y justice court
gave prompt Judgment for $500,
but the case was appealed to the
circuit court.

one technicality and another may
cause added delay. There vet

President Wilson in his eager
ness to get the new currency leg
islation passed, shows that he is
living in a FOOLS paradise. This
money Legislation is intended to
counteract and stop the industri-
al depression which even our
Democratic friends see is now
inevitable as a result of their
tariff legislation. The new bank

casioned by banking the fires OF

Will the Country Suffer?

No man, sane and honest,
wants to see the country suffer
lust because the Democrats have
enacted tariff law, but every
sane and honest man knows that
the prosperity of the people is
to be affected by the new law.
Democratic statesmen say it will
result in greater prosperity and
lower prices for food and cloth
ing, though such results will
come about gradually, not timme-
diately. Wise business men and
tinanciers and Republican states
men say the immediate results
will be a diminution in the vol
ume of business, a contraction

The Progressives are steadily
losing ground and the probabili-
ties are that after the general
election in 1914 they will not be
strong enough to maintain their
organization in the presidential
campaign of 1916. Even if the
Progressives should put nation
al ticket in the field in that year,
the Republicans can go into the
fight against the Democrats with
a good chance of beating them.
Most of the Republicans who left
the party last year are ready to
come back if the Republicans
open the way for them. There
is not room in this country for
more than two great political di-
visions, and events are proving
that these two divisions must
still be the Republican and the
Democratic parties. Periodic
defections from either of these
cannot materially shake the
foundations of the two great par
ent organizations and sooner or
later thedisgruntled factions will
drift back to their old allegiance.
It is now up to the Republican
organization to make the way
clear for the Progressives to
come back home without having
their sensibilities jolted too Sc
verely. A little common sense
and progressive spirit in the at
titude of the Republican party
will cement the two factions in
harmonious union for the cam
paign of 1916, when the plums
will fall on our side of the fence

The Appointer- General.

In the first l52 working days
since Postmaster General Burle-
son began his administration he
appointed 5765 postmasters. Of
these 22O3 were Presidential ap-
pointments that have to have the
confirmation of the Senate. In
other words, the director of a
great transportation agency that
is vital to the interest of the
whole country has had to spend
much Of his time looking over
the qualifications of the privates
In his army-not only the quail
fications of the SO a day that
were given jobs, but two or three
times that many that had to be

time and a detriment to the SER
vice To hire postmaster who
Is to get S3 day, or about car
penter's wages, necessitates con-
sultatiOn between the Postmaster
General and one or two senators
and also probably with a Repre-
sentative. And then when the
job is assigned it is necessary to
make the President of the United
States go through the red tape
of appointing the man and to
make the Senate of the United
States perform its august func-
ton Of confirmation.
OF course Postmaster General
Burleson did not originate this
plan nor can he do away with it
without the approval of Congress
but it would be a welcome sight,
after his improvements in the
parcel post. to see him attack
this long standing abuse. Such
practices as these, and the fact
that recent postmaster generals
have been also campaign manag-
ers, give to the postoffice a politi-
cal a:pect which for the good of
the service should be eliminated.
