Champion Of Fair Play Attacks the Ministry

drink being the cause of the downfall of most of them
So as usual the case of argument in the Champion of
Fair Play or what they put forth as argument, when
put the test logically proves what we have been
contending for years, that the saloons must go.
The statement that four men. who have at some
time been ministers out of more than three thousand
actively engaged in the ministry in the state of
Illinois, have through the influence of drink for any
reason proved unaithfu1 does initiate against the
ministry a whole.
The liquor journal which calls itself Both Sides
should now give an account with list of the saloon
keepers in Illinois to crime during the year 1912.
We that they will find that the record of
those who champion the downfall of that business will
be to shame the record Of the who fighting
for the maintenance of this institution for personal
gain and greed No, Mr. Liquor Man, you cannot
justify your by your criticisms of the ministers.

Physicians Statistics Sounds Death Knell
to Liquor rattle

The physicians of the country beginning to
realize fully than before, and the fact that
they do not hesitate to make public their findings
speaks emphatically of the death of the liquor
traffic.
DR.. Evans former health commissioner of Chicago,
and who now, among his other activities is carrying
on column in the Chicago Tribune called Health
Notes. gives the following article Drinkers" in
the Tribune of August 20.
1t will be noticed that the life expectancy of the
total abstaner is more than twice as great as the
moderate of alcohol. When one considers these
figures it brings to mind the exclamation of Arch
bishop Ireland:
THE great of social crime is drink.
When [ hear of family broken up, I ask
the cause-drink. If go to the galows and
ask the victim the cause, the answer-drink
Then I ask myself in perfect wonderment
why do not men put stop to this thng?"

SILAGE IS ideal
FEED FOR HORSE

Grand Forks, Nov. 24.-In its silo
literature the North Dakota Corn and
Glover association at Grand Forks
calls attention to the use Of silage
for horses.
The government owns a valuable
herd OF. pure bred Morgan horses that
are kept at Middlebury, Vt. The
brood mares are left out the entire
winter, having ar open shed for pro:
lection.
During the winter Of 1911-1912
these brood mares were each FED
daily 20 pounds Of silage and 10
pounds of hay. They had no grain.
They went through the winter in the
best of condition and in the spring
every foal was straight and sound.
In the winter of 1912-1913 the silage
was deficient in grain and a small
quantity was added to the ration.
Geo. NJ. Rommel, chief Of the ami
NAL h%usbandry division Of the U. S.
Department Of Agriculture has
charge of the government horse
breeding work and has investigated
the feeding of silage to horses IL
many herds. He states most EN-.
pllatically that no breeder in the Unit
ed States can afford to raise horses
without having an ample supply OF
silage for brood mares and all grow
ing animals. He says that il reduces
the cost of feed one-half and main
tains the animals in the most desir-
able condition. He says that sill
age must be fed in moderate guam
titles to horses that are working.
Watson, Wood Brothers and Kelly
are one Of the largest horse import
ing companies in the United States.
Last winter they fed corn silage to
fifty imported stations. The corn
yield was forty bushels an acre ano
it was cut when the ears were in
dent and some of the lower leaves
had dropped off. The daily ration per
horse was II pounds silage, s pounds
oats, 4 pounds alfalfa, 4 pounds bran
and a little timothy hay. During 60
days that the stations were weighed,
they made an average gain of 240
pounds per head. Not a single horse
had the collie, was off feed or had4a'
days sickness.
There is one %precaution that mus;
be taken, for horses there must be
no mold, in the silage. The owner
of a herd of draft horses in Iowa
fed silage to his horses daily through
most of the winter. The horses thriv-
ed as they never had done before and
none were taken sick. The owner
fed the silage himself and was care
full to see that not a single handful
of moldy silage was ever fed. He
was taken sick and had to stay in
the house for just a week. His boy,
ten years old, fed the horses dur
ing the week. The boy did not know
about the danger. from moldy ,silage.
Six, horses were taken sick during
the week the boy fed, and died. They
were killed by mold.
Silos have increased rapidly in
number in North Dakota within the
past two years.

Where Some RefOrners Fail

There was much wisdom in remarks made before
the Sunday Evening Club by President Harry A. Gar.
field of Williams college, son of former President
James A. Garfield, when he said:
Many socalled reform novcmen are un-
dertaken by men who are halfeducated and
iltrained for such work. They urge with un-
warranted zeal the throwing aside of things
with which we have had long experience and
adopting in their stead the thing that is doubt
full and untried.
That tits the nail exactly upon the head. 1t is
impossible to enumerate the actual crimes to our
social order which have been done under the name
and specious pretext of "'Reform'-with a capital n"
We have reformers running riot and saying that,
because this or that Judge is unfit for the bench, the
bench as a whole is vena!, corrupt and untrustworthy.
These same reformers would improve the bench
by doing what? Overturning our judicial system and
substituting for it the; unbridled will of the masses,
altering our fundamental law SO that, instead Of its
being a recognized rule Of conduct and a we'll ordered.
well considered governing agency, it shall become a
patchwork OF changing whims, with the prejudices OF
the day the only determining factor.
Other reformers would ruthlessly tear down our
established order of government, substituting for our
representative Republic that pure democracy whose
faults and shortcomings were abundantly demon.
strated throughout antiquity.
st."lt is" as PreSlQent Garneld Salu, men WHO are
halfeducated and ill-trained for such work who are
offering most of the cure-all political nostrums Of the
day to the American people. President George W.
Human of Marietta college, in his inaugural ad-
dress, speaking of the men who, since the foundation
Of the Republic, have labored and fought for our in
%stitutions, said:
To them this representative Republic was
no mere experiment station, no mere contract
tcrrninable at will, no mere series of optional
e~xpcdients in government, but a great, growing ,
historical institution, beloved for what it had
been to the fathers, was to the sons and would
te to the SraudsOns.
Icfore VIC shall take the advice of lalf-baked,
half educated and illtrained" reformers and aban-
don that government, therefore, we must at least
see clearly that we are adopting something better
and not, as President Hinman says, "cast our insti-
buttons upon the rubbish heap and take from the
rubbish heap the institutions cast there by other
nations a century or centuries go."-Chicago Inter

More Democratic CunninQ

A startling discovery has been made. A hush Of
expectancy has fallen upon the nation. At first the
discovery was reported as extremely sensational.
Later reports call it a mild sensation" The Dem.
ocratic platform of 1912 was tempered witl-just
imagine. At least, that is what certain well inform
ed Democrats at Washington say. And they should
know.
They assert that the currency plank as written by
Senator OGornan and approved by Bryan read:
I'VE oppose the so-called Aldrich monetary bill for
the establishment of a central bank" AS printed,
the plank reads: I'VE oppose the so-called Aldrich
monetary bill or the establishment of a central
bank"
This is no Sensational discovery" It is pure, un-
diluted hypocrisy. 1t is sensational buncombe. II
there had been a discrepancy between the platform
as written by OGorman and Bryan and the printed
platform does the reader think for a moment that
these men, whose fertile imaginations created that
plank, would not have discovered the joker before?
The Democrats now realize that they are up
against, a hard proposition. That proposition is the
currency question. They have suddenly discovered
that this difficult problem can be solved in only one
OF two ways: Ely the plan suggested by the none.

bank. But both had been tabooed in their platform.

Republicans, and the central bank idea had been Wig.

Jefferson, and finally handed a solar plexus blow by
Andrew Jackson, when he abolished the United States
Bank.
AS a result, the Democratic economist Bryan,
OGorman, ct al, have found themselves on the
horns of a dilemma. Either they must make a conces-
sion to the genius of their Republican predecessors
or else s%shatterta cherished tradition. In other words,
they have found theselves between the devil and
the deep sea. They have decided to go the devil
that Is, to shatter said tradition.
In order not to appear inconsistent, they have to
justify themselves to the people. Necessity is the
mother of invention. And so the nation is, electrified
by the news of a sensational discovery. The Demo.
cratic platform was insidiously, changed! Think Of
that. The word, for" was surreptitiously changed

Motion Picture. Film Business

twenty-five thousand miles of motion-picture films,
enough to stretch around the globe at the equator,
will be the export record of the United States in
the calendar year 1913. The United States is the
worlds greatest manufacturer Of motion-picture
films, probably threefourths OF the entire films are
sent out of the country, both as blank or %unexposed
films, and as finished films ready for use in the stere-
opticon.
The rapid increase in this branch of the export
trade of the United States resulted in the establish
ment by the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Com.
mrce, Department of Commerce, of a detailed record
which shows the quantity, measured by feet, and the
value of films exported from the country; the plain
films and those ready for use, separately states; the
countries of destination; and the ports through which
this distribution is made. This record shows a total
expectation in the nine months ended with Scptem-
Der of IS IL million feet of N%unexposed or plain films
to be used in other parts of the world in taking
motion pictures, and 20 IL million feet Of exposed
or finished films ready for use in the stereopticon,
making a total of SO million feet during the period.
For the single month of September, however, the
total was 141-2 million feet, and should the remaining
months Of the year make a siilar record, the total
exports of the year which ends with next onth would
be 1873 million feet, or slightly more than $4,000 miles,
the distance around the earth at the equator. In
1912, the first full calendar year for which figures are
shown, the total length Of films exported was 6212
million feet, or less than half the prospective total
OF 1913.
The stated value OF the films exported in the nine
months ended with September, 1919, is about BIZ
million dollars, being s1,S11,OO0 for the 651-2 million
feet Of unexposed films, and ~$1,656,O00 for the 2S12
million feet Of exposed films ready for use in the
stereopticon; or an average of 2 "a cents per foot for
the u~nexposed and of I cents per foot for the ex-
posd films.
