Los Angeles Livestock Notes

The packers yards are glutted
with beef, even the runways are
full. Prices still stand Z cents for
steers and 6 cents for fat cows,
but smaller lots of grass beef are
generally selling s cent steers
and five cent cows.
The reason is simply that feed
ers have forced cattle on the
/. market to make room for cheap
feeders and in order to take ad-
vantage of high hay prices.
Hay iis2now beginning to de-

beef scarcity later in the season

The Currency Bills Status.

There are seven democrats and five
republicans on the banking and cur
rency committee of the Senate. Three
of the democrats, O'Gorman of New
York, Hitchcock of Nebraska and
Reed of Missouri, so far have indi-
Gated pronounced opposition to the
Glass-Owen bill as it passed the
House, and have voted with the re-
publicans of the committee for
amendments which are not acceptable
to President Wilson and his advisers.
In the last day or so, Senator
O'Gorman has shown a disposition
again to align himself with his demo-
cratic colleagues of the banking and
currency committee. John Purroy
Mitchell collector of customs at the
port of New York, has been elected
mayor of that municipality. He SUBJ
mitted his resignation at the opening
of the campaign, but it has not yet
been accepted. Now Mitchell is a
winner, his successor will soon be
named. The most prominent candi-
date for the place-the highest paid
insthe gift of the Presidents Dudley
Field Malone, son-in-law Of Senator
O'Gorman. Senator O'Gorman has al
ways been Tammany man, but has
never been subservient to the organi-
cation if his views ran counter to
those of the chiefs.
Senator Reed all along has pro-
fessed the greatest friendship for
President Wilson, and time and again
has announced that his opposition to
the Glass-Owen bill arises solely froia
his desire to get the best law posi-
Bile. 1t is not probable that he will
resent insistence by Mr.. Wilson that
the currency bill be framed along ad-
ministration ideas. Mr.. Hitchcock SO
far has not publicly intimated that
his views are susceptible to material
modification. If he stands firm and
O'Gorman and Reed vote with the
democrats, the committee would be
deadlocked.

Grasping the Shadow.

Politics, per Sc, is made up largely
of absurdities. The partisan SPELL
binder and the partisan newspaper OIL
ten give utterance to inanities of
which they are unconscious. Here is
an example from the st. Louis Globe
Democrat, standpat, thick and thin,
republican newspaper.
Only one fact of first significance is
revealed in the returns from Tuesdays
elections. This is that the people are
not more inclined to give o vote of
confidence to Woodrow Wilson this
November than they were last.
Mr.. Wilson could hardly expect
greater vote of confidence this Nov
ember than he got last November. In
the electoral college Wilson received
ABS votes to 9S for Roosevelt and 8
for Taft, the last named being the
candidate of the party of which the
Globe-Democrat is such sturdy
champion.
1t is the Globe-Democrat' argu-
ment, of course, that the secession of
the Roosevelt following is responsible
for the republican party's sorry show.
ing, and it gives figures to prove tn 1t
the democratic victories are scored by
pluralities rather than majorities.
But this indicates absolutely nothing
as to how the country would vote if
there should come straight fight be-
tween the democrats and the progress
sives or between the democrats and
the republicans.
Today the bitterness existing be-
tween the republics, and the progress
sivc parties greatly exceeds that Of
either of them against the democrats.

Important Results Expected.

The Alabama Land congress which
met in Birmingham last week was a
most important and stimulating event
The papers on farm topics and other
subjects. touching the resources of
this state were full of practical in
terest, and the congress as a whole
was in large degree educational.
Within the next twelve months this
state will doubtless witness many
good results of the recent meeting.
Never, perhaps, in the space of three
days were so many addresses heard
tending to promote agriculture in
Alabama as those forming a part of
the proceedings of the congress. The
men who talked were known as sue
cessful farmers-some of them emil
nently successful.
The Alabama Land congress is in
good hands. J. o. Thompson, who is
devoting his time, talents and money
to farming along modern lines, is
president of the organization, and N.
+. Thompson, who organized the body,
and who was its efficient president,
becomes secretary and manager. The
Messrs. Thompson are not related, bat
they form a team that will achieve
great things. They not only have the
energy and the civic spirit but they
have intelligence and experience, and
the people of Alabama may look for
ward with keen interest to the meet
ing of the third annual congress.

DIFFERS FROM THEM


Hon. O.. w. Underwood differs very
much from some of his friends He in
his first political speech, advised his ar
dent and over-zealous friends to cease
their rancor and unjust criticism against
Capt. r. p. Hobson. He thinks there is
enough campaign thunder without re-
sorting to malicious littleness and viii
pursue more dignfed and even tenor
than his ill-advised and unwise friends,
who are always throwing so much mud
and making such wild and foolish claims
that the thinking people will not talss
them seriously. He seeks preferment and
promotion to the Senate on his merit,
and that Is what Captain Hobson is doing.
Now. therefore, let Mr.. Underwood ac-
cept Mr.. Hobson's challenge for a joint
debate and both of them can then pro-
ceed with the campaign in dignined
and enlightening way. Claims will not
win elections nor make votes, but intel
ligent and honorable discussions will
make them and will win elections. The
man who is right should win. and will.
Questionable tricks and wire pullings
have been frowned upon by all progress
sive voters and II this state is progressive
there can be no doubt about who to vote
for. If reactionary. let the voters say so
and vote accordingly But let the people
of the state know the truth SO that they
can vote intelligcntly.

THE ALABAMA sENATORsHIP
Providence Journal.

From the Providence Journal.
There is an election of senator by pop
ular vote in Alabama to take place and
the choice will do much to credit or dis
credit the system. 1t is difficult to be-
lieve that any considerable portion of the
people of the state really prefer Mr. Rich
mond p. Hobson to Mr. Oscar w. Under
wood. The contrast between the two men
is well nigh ludicrous. There is a quality
of genuine craftsmanship in the leader
of the House to which the spectacular
hero of the Merrimac episode cannot pre-
tend. Mr.. Underwoods services to the
nation have been of the kind to reflect
credit upon himself and his constituents
He viii be greatly missed in the House;
but If he feels that he prefers to go to
the Senate, he has richly earned the pro-
motion. He would unquestionably be one
of the most useful members of that body.
His opponent, on the other hand, is a
man without discretion and capable, as
some of his recent utterances have shown,
of the cheapest kind of demagogism.

Political Gossin

Il do not know that President Wilson
will write to Congressman Hobson, as he
wrote to Congressman Clayton, chairman
of the judiciary committee, suggesting
that he withdraw from the contest for
the United States senatorshlp from Ala
bama, but it would be agreeable to many
democrats if he would do So" said an old
voter who was at one time active in
politics.
THE President could, with consistency,
no doubt, say to Mr.. Hobson that he
would be especially needed in the next
House, beca Use of his expert knowledge
of the navy.
When Hobson started out for the sem
atorship he was supposed to have a solid
prohibition following. But it is seen that
most OF the active prohibitionists are In
the Underwood camp. Prohibition ia nor

National Anti-Saloon leagues address
Notwithstanding. Referring to President
Wilson's action in political affairs, the
last number of the Saturday Evening Post
in its Washington correspondence under
the head of Letters of q Lame Duck had
this:
=" Clayton filed his credentials with the
Senate and they were referred to the COM
mittee on privileges and elections, which
was in doubt whether, under the amend
ment to the constitution recently adopted
providing for the direct election of sena-
tors. governor could legally appoint a
senator to fill vacancy.
Meantime, Richmond p. Hobson. also
a member of the House from Alabama.
was campaigning for the seat, and il
was announced that Tom Heflin was 10

+" Not so long ago Oscar Underwood of
Alabama, chairman of the ways and
means committee and author of the ia riff
bill. announced his candidacy for the Sem
ate.
" Thus IL everybody stayed In the race
it was likely that Underwood would have
hard shedding to get tine place, and Ii
was the opinion of the democrats that he
deserved 1t because of his successful tar
iff work in the House and his general fit
ness for 1t.
'Conceding that Clayton would make
good senator also, the chances seemed
10 pe tildt DUH ldil ana the result
would be that If all stayed in the race
either Clayton or Underwood would be
eliminated from Congress entirely-may "
be both-because they could not run for
the House and the Senate at the same
election, as they would be forced to do.
so after Clayton and Underwood were
definitely In the race, the President sat
down one afternoon and wrote a letter
to Clayton. / commend that letter to
you, Jim, as q historical example of
epistolary genius. The President didn't
ask Clayton to get out. ON. no; nothing
so coarse or crude as that! He merely
told him to get OUT but he told 1t to
him with meringue on 1t, and frosting,
and candied sugar, and with flowers
round it--and the whole thing was set
on silver salver.

mother was not of the highest type.
Our cows name was Clarice. I was
often called on to milk clarice.
was loath to do this, and she was just
as loath to have me. We were never
what might be called fast friends.
Once, with bucket on my arm. ap-
preached her on the subject of milking.
|Clarice was standing in the milk lot
with sad. far away look In her eyes.
az IL all her dreams had not come
true, going over her supper for a Sec
ond time. Clarice was always going
back and putting few finishing
touches to her supper.
I placed the pail under her body,
well toward the rear, and seated my
self on a. one-legged stool. / had not
asked her il 1 could do this, but
felt that all would be we'll Clarice

her a significant look Fitting my

of her. I put my hands around the
parts mentioned and squeezed them
While | was trying to get the milk

significant look, followed by lower
ing glance, and again placed my ear in
her flank and reached for the source of
