Need of More Room

The volume business of the county has out the facilities afforded by place for con ducting the business. The county officers need more Even the removal of the quarters of the supreme various federal officials from the courthouse has the congestion The enlargement the courthouse is being contem- plated for the purpose creating two more office and enlargng three of the present offices It is estimated that the improvement will cost from s2OOOO to $30OOO.
 If this improvement should be made the court house would be anchored to it's present location a long period of years though it is generally ceded that some time there should be another ton with a larger and a modern courthouse Two objections have heretofore been made to a reloca- tlon One was purely geographical; property owners could not agree upon location. other ob- Jecton that while it was desirable that the present site should be abandoned sometime. should not be done until the top-notch of it's mar ket value had been reached
 The former objection being based on human selfishness' cannot be removed by human argument As to the latter objection may be said that while the market value of the courthouse plaza ap- preaching the top notch so prospective and de- 70 sirable sites everywhere moving upward with even greater rapdity.
 Anyway, if the improvements of the courthouse now contemplated made the business of the county will be conducted at the old tsand for many years to come. This is a matter concerning which taxpayers should be advised Perhaps a ma jority of them have been looking forward to the time when the business the county and the city may be conducted in single office building that will be creditabe to the county and the city Neither the city hall the courthouse is now creditable If this proposed improvement is made realiza- tlQn or handsome structure for city and county purposes will be set many years in the future.

Babies, Bull Pups, Etc.

How many babies in Arizona qualify under the rules adopted for the Better Babies at the San Diego exposition?" a question asked in the literature sent by management of the Panama California exposition Another question is How many mothers and fathers will be willing to have their babies judged by the same standards as are applied to prize animals with the single pur- pose of adopting some system that will produce bet ter babies?"
 We think that most fathers and mothers would hesitate before entering a baby as if he were bull pup, rooster a calf, in contest of this kind. It is altogether too serious affair." Eith- erto we have had baby shows, in which the babies have been awarded verdcts by judges possessed necessarily of higher degree courage than a baseball umpire needs, O make <, decision against the home team, The babies have been judged upon their appearance as they are, and not by arb- trary standard to which, perhaps no baby closely approaches by card like the following which has been adopted for the San Diego Baby fair:
 Body Height and weight, 12; circumference of chest and abdomen s. symmetry quality O skin and fat, 9; quality muscle, hand grasp ing. sitting boise, walking running G. bones skull, spine, chest, limbs feet, G.
 Head: Circumference, z; shape of eyes, 4; shape, size and position of 3; shape size of lips, g. shape and size of forehead 4 shape and potency of nose, 5 shape and condition of jaw hard palate, tonsils. 5; shape size condition of teeth, 5.
 Psychological Disposition, 5; energy g. facial and ocular expression, 10; attention g."
 And all this is proposed the interest of eugenics. Where is the good? What will result from determination that babi are more nearly score-card babies than others? Are the re- jected babies, those who do not up closely to scorecard points, to be regarded inferior animals, of a kind not to be propagated? We'd hate to say so the presence of mothers of rejected babies unless could megaphone, while sit- ting in automobile equipped with an absolutely reliable self starting device.
 Eugenics may be well enough sometime when some of us become enough to understand what it means. At present, believe no member of the human race has arrived at such degree of

Ways Not to Do 1t

Nobody knows what the bin will do, just as nobody knows the any provision in it, says The Republicans Washington correspondent, of the tariff measure. The it's con- struction is different from that of earlier tariff bs except in respect in them knew the for every provision they contained. special privilege was the every pro- vision.
 The schedules arranged not without in teigence, but with absolute disregard the fare of the masses. The provisions of the present bill have been arranged without study and with the sole purpose of obeying quickly possible what is enormously conceived a mandate from the masses to proceed hurriedly without thought What the masses really demand is quick but well-advised action.
 But the democratic majority is in this , tunate pOsition Whatever mistakes it may make in blind revision of the tariff any changes may effect in the Payne-Adrch tariff law must sarily be changes for the better They could be for the worse; but. considering the which they being made it would be by the sheerestN accident if they should be the best.
 The result will be educative for one thing The country will be, taught way how do it. We have already learned way avoid. We have learned that the practice of allowing ufacturers and monopolists fix the schedules in committee hearings is not good way for the pie. and, perhaps that will never be done again in this country. We have yet to learn that tariff schedule arranged solely by guess is likely than not not be a good The law of chances is against it.
 We yet to learn that in the arrangement of these great revenue producing measures must employ at least much forethought and a knowledge of conditions causes effects a private citizen about build a barn gage in any other enterprise would employ.
 This country has agreed that tariff laws shall no longer be made by looters Nor they be made by lottery.

Col. Roosevelt on Prison Reform

We have heard much lately the subject of prison reform. It is not a subject Reforms in the handling of criminals have been going on, sometimes slowly, eyer since Dickens wrote de- scriptons of the English prisons. strides have been made recently, but it is unfortunate that much of the agitation has been hyster ica; that the reformers have always had proportions; that they have been swayed by sense of humanity toward prisoners that they have forgotten society for whose protection alone prisons have been erected.
 To all prison reformers commend article printed by The Republican last Sunday, The New Penology," by Col Roosevelt, in which the claims of society and those of the convict carefully weighed and with a recognition of the fact that society must be given the most adequate protec tion, with at the time a regard for the physi cal and moral wel-being of the convict It is the desire of the true reformer that the convict shall always be that he may be brought back to society useful member of it.
 During his enforced service of the state, his health and morals shall be cared for, and on his discharge the state shall continue its care of him until he shall have been planted again on his feet going in the right direction. is fair to the convict, and it is best for the state, that he should be turned friendess and alone and fur ther handicapped by his record The most import ant work of the state begins when the convict is restored to freedom. It is his rehabilitation. The indeterminate sentence and the opportunity to money while in prison, Col Roosevelt points out incentives to right living and preparation for the convicts re-entry to society terms that are fairer him.
 The treatment of the convict must be applied intelligently and, here, Col. Roosevelt takes phase of the subject which is at present agitating Arizona, the of the power of pardon and parole. He advises pardon board, principally for the reason that the work is of great magnitude that it requires time than governor give it if he desires to intellgently.

The Republicans subscription contest has been marveously successful, much more so to date than the managers expected it would be. Yet, when one to think of it, it would have been strange if it had fallen short of the degree of success that has been reached.

A PLACE TO ADVERTISE

Arizona towns and counties should make good display at the Chicago Land Show. There is a place where few thousand dollars will bring the homeseekers the state- Incidentally more people would display at the Chicago Land Show people who interested in lands and homes than would see display at both the Pacific coast expositons. People all soyer the middle west who looking for new homes attend the Land Show in Chicago and have done since it was started. It is declared by real estate to be the greatest thing in the way of getting homeseekers acquianted with sections of the country that has been at tempted.

you build her house. Give it a good
southern exposure and plenty of glass
in the south side-not little square
windows set high up in the wall, but
good tall windows that reach from
near the floor up to near the ceiling,
so that the low winter sun will strike
clear across the floor and up the OPP

rods to protect the glass at the bottom
of the window, and those can be sup
piled at trifling cost. Then plenty of

ARE YOUR HOGS LOUSY?

Don't be insuIted at the insinua-
ton that you may be possibly feeding
6O-cent corn to lot of miserable YER
min and wondering why the hogs do
not thrive; but go and look. Watch
your hogs as you feed them, says
Wallace s Farmer. Look behind their
ears, look on the TANKS and see if
there are any lice or nits. Watch
the little pigs that are not thriving.
You will have no trouble in finding
out. You cannot afford to grow lice
even if corn was worth but ten cents
a bushel. You never could afford it;
and you can afford it less now than
ever before, because these hogs when
ready for market may bring you ten
dollars hundred. Why should you
make their lives miserable and cheat
your own pocket by allowing this con-
dition to go on.
You say, what would you do about

it? Well, the best thing to do is to
put in dipping tank, and arrange to
run your hogs through it once a
month. Before you put them back
in the pens, clean. them out, dispose
of the old bedding, then sprinkle
thoroughly with any of the dips that
are on the market, using about a
three per cent solution. The mix up
some whitewash, put pound OF crude
carbolic acid to each four gallons of
whitewash, and whiewash your pens.
This will kill all the lice, but it will
not destroy the nits. In a couple Of
weeks run your hogs through the dip
ping tank again and repeat the
sprinkling. This will dispose of the
nitS that have Matched out in the
meantime. Your hogs will be reason
ably free from lice during the sum-
mer; but, it will pay you to run them
through the dipping tank once a
month, even if you cannot see any
lice at ALL They will have cleaner
skins, be healthier, and give better
account of the corn you feed them.
You can not afford to feed high priced
corn to lot of miserable vermin.

RAISING THRIFTY MARCH PIGS.

By William David Boynton, Gig
Harbor, Wash.
1t will never pay to keep brood
sows over winter for growing early
pigs if we do not then get good pigs,
and a good sized litter of them at
that; hence it is quite evident that
the start toward good pigs is in the
early fall and winter care of the brood
SOW. She will generally do we'll by
you if you give her the wherewithal
to do with, and good sanitary quart
erS.
Remem Der that there is no domestic
animal that will thrive its best in
damp, dark quarters. Dampness and
darkness are apt to be found together.
Nearly all Gods creatures love the
sun light and warmth, and it left free
dom of action they will get to it and
revel in it while it lasts these short
winter days. See how the SOW will
make herself a coy nest in the south
side of the straw stack, and stretch
and grunt with satisfaction as long as
the good, warm sunshine pourS over
her.
A we'll fed SOW with only this same
straw stack to run to, will carry her
self through to breeding time in bet
ter shape then she will when confined
in. the average hog-house. She will
get protection and warmth from bur-
rowing deeply into the stack. She
will have the chance to exercise her
natural neatness by constantly pulling
down fresh supplies of bright, clean
straw. 1t may look rather slack and
slovenly this allowing the SOW to select
and make her own winter quarters,
but the very farmers who turn up
their noses at such slip-shod manage
ment, are doubtless furnishing far
less sanitary and comfortable quarters
in their own expensive hog houses.
1t is so seldom that you see a hog
house built with a good provision for
sunlight, which is the main requisite
for dry, wholesome conditions. Sun
shine is the great universal germ
destroyer, the sweetener, the deoder-
izer and general purifier. 1t only
asks to be admitted.
The SOW knows what she needs, and
provides it fairly we'll when given
the chance to do so. 1t is safe
thing to initiate her own natural
methods when you take from her the
power to do so. Since you know from
observation that sunlight is her one
great hobby, humor her in this when

"The vast livestock interests OF this
state certainly would be justified in
demanding that better provision be
made for work in animal husbandry
at this institution than now exists, y
says Dean A. B. Cordley of the Ore
gon Agricultural College, in his report
to Pres. w. j. Curr.
"Neither in live stock nor in other
equipment are the facilities anywhere
near adequate for satisfactory work, y
he continues. "'That students may
have the opportunity of working with
a reasonably large number of animals,
facilities should at once be provided
for handling cattle and sheep in car
load lots. Purchases Of carloads OF
suitable animals can then be made
from time to time, used for class
purposes, and then sold.

GOAT JUDGING GLASS.
The first class in goat judging ever
held in an American college is that at
the Oregon Agricultural College, just
begun by Prof. e. L. Potter. AL
though it has been started as a part
of the short course, it is to be made
a regular course in animal husbandry.
la addition to the judging work,
classes in the feeding and manage
ment of goats will also be held.
Eventually the college will have a
small herd of goats on the stock farm
for class and demonstration purposes.
At present the animals used are loan
ed by A. M. Gray of Philomath.
They include six head of fine register
ed Angoras.
