A BALLAD OF BUTTER FAT,

In boosting his Holstein herd, a
Wisconsin dairyman bursts into song,
and writes some very rotten verse
about one capable COW which gives
400 pounds Of milk a week
The poetry is punk, as stated, but it
must be admitted that the theme is
important, if not inspiring. Fine dairy
cattle have done much to put Wiscon-
sin on the map, and their considera-
ton in this state, as well as in others,
would improve the business outlook
and add to the joy Of living. One more
gifted in letters might dedicate con-
siderable epic to the beef steers sis
ter. but silo and proper shelter
would be more rapidly appreciated by
Bessie and bring more ready and,
profitable response. Dairy farming|
is not only profitable, but lasting, as i'll
doesn't rob the soil, and while we
sympathize with those who must do
the milking, it is part Of a noble work
for which some ADLER bard might
twang his harp and shout and sing.

DOING WORK WELL.

Don't do your work as well as Col
onel Goethals did his, OF you may be
pestered, as he is, with offers Of more
jobs than you can accept.
There is lesson in this incident,
to-wit, that there is plenty Of work
for the men who will do il well. There
are many such men, but all are not
so. Many think only Of their pay, and
very little Of the merit of their work.
Take the odd jobs that are offered
and you will find that the men who
have them to give hesitate about Civ
ing them unless they know the man
who wants the work is honest, square
and Industrious.
There are men, and one meets them
often, who do the least possible work
for the most they can get They have
TO be watched constantly lest they
slight their work or loaf on the job.
Such men discourage employment and,
in fact, take the bread from other
peoples mouths. There is no meaner
dishonesty than sighting work.

bound by their party plat
forms has received serious shake
of late. The plank Of the Baltimore
platform declaring in favor of toll
exemptions TO the coastwise marine
of the United States passing through
the Panama canal has been emphati-
cally repudiated by the president
elected on that platform. Mr.. Bryan,
who sat on the committee of that con
vention which reported the platform,
now admits that he did not know that
the platform contained that plank. The
plank in question contains this declar-
alton:
We favor the exemption from tolls
of American ships engaged in the
coastwise trade passing through the
Panama canal.
Now, after deliberation, it turns out
that, in the judgment of the best inn
partial authorities in this country, the
exemption from tolls TO the American
coastwise shipping involves a viola
ton of our treaty obligations with
Great Britain 1t is further apparent
that the exemption from tolls, on the
plea of fostering domestic industry,
is not needed for the reason that the
coastwise shipping is open only to
American vessels under our present
laws. And it is further
manifest that the exemption from
tolls is equivalent to ship subsidy, a
bounty, or a protective duty.
But the same platform which de-
clares in favor of exemption from
tolls to our coastwise marine also
denounces, in emphatic terms, ship
bounties and protective du
ties. Consequently, the platform con-
tradicts itself in its several declara-
lions on these heads. The platform
first declares that the doctrine of pro-
lection is Observation-Disclosures it is
wrong in principle and vicious in prac-
tice; and it then specifies its objec-
tons to protective duties, ship subsi-
dies and bounties. After few inter-
mediate paragraphs the platform
comes to the subject of the Panama
canal, and here the authors, forget
ting what has gone before, perform
the wonderful logical feat of indors-
ing protective duties, ship subsidies
and bounties by declaring in favor
Of exemption from tolls.
The nominee of the convention evil
iently saw this discrepancy at once,
for in his speech of acceptance he
said that the merchant marine was
not to be encouraged by "the paltry
levice of tolls" but by other means.
He did not openly repudiate the tolls
exemption plank at that time, but the
population is implied in what he said
IN the subject. Those who are not
politicians are inclined to censure him
or not speaking explicitly his dissent
rom the platform at an earlier date.
BY remaining silent, or by using rath-
n disguised language, he encouraged
he Democratic majority of the last
congress to put itself on record as
icing in favor of the tolls exemption.

got him into trouble. On one occa-
sion he started to sit down on chair
Some ten minutes after he started he
sat heavily on the floor, the chair he
intended to sit down on having been
removed by another man. When the
mans attention was called to the ac-
cident he apologized. Said that he
had noticed Wilks commencing to
stoop little about half an hour pre-
vious, but had no suspicion that he
intended to sit down. One time a
large swarm of bees lit on Wilks and
commenced to build their comb in his
hair. There were people who had
known him since he was boy who
said it was the first time to their
knowledge he had ever had comb
of any kind in his hair. He moved
so slow that he didn't disturb the bees
at all and in the fall his folks cut his
hair and saved 81 pounds of fine Glow
err honey. 1t was the first time in
his life that he ever produced any
thing worth while. When he died he
was rs, but his relatives refused to
bury him for a week after the doctor
had pronounced him dead. They got
a line on him with surveyors tan
gent and watched They said if he
didn't move at all for seven days they
would conclude that he must be dead,
but the fact that he couldn't be seen
to move for four or five days was no
certain indication"

The Judges Musings
THE PRESIDENT AND THE PLATFORM.

( took a stand which is now directly OPP
posed to the presidents stand on the
tolls question. Had Mr.. Wilson dur
ing the campaign pointed out the self
, contradiction in the platform and de-
clared that he could not approve of
the tolls plank, although it may have
not been "good politics." it would
have saved the party from some en-
barrassment.
However we may view these mat
tiers, the presidents present repudi-
alton of the tolls plank of the plat
form is justified on principle. The
president is standing on the funda-
mental planks of the platform by re-
jecting the stultifying plank. He can
not accept both of two contradictory
policies, and he must discard the one
that is adventurous to the spirit of
the Baltimore platform and in conflict
with its main tenor and principles.
This incident of the tolls plank in
the Democratic platform suggests
that platforms may not after all be
such sacred things as sometimes rep
resented to be. A national platform
is adopted in about the same manner
as bills are passed during the closing
days of the Idaho legislature. Most
of the delegates voting for them are
nc HIt.,fttll,y NJ Of yhns.-
tents as they are of lunar politics. A
committee reports a platform to the
convention. 1t has been prepared by
a few party leaders. 1t begins with a
few flamboyant congratulations; it
next "points with pride" and "views
with alarm" through a few para
graphs, and then proceeds to set out
policies in inspecific Ian
guage, all the time keeping steadily |
in view design to appeal to as large
a number of voters as possible.
By the time the reading clerk has
passed through the preamble of the
platform, the minds of the assembled |
statesmen are rambling off the sub
ject. Some are specializing on which
ballot it will be expedient for them
to swing from the favorite son of
their native state to the probable

Some are indulging in

form committee have done their work
well, and the platform receives little

mittee, and, with few exceptions, the
delegates first learn of it's true con-

heir details are woven in to catch
votes, to satisfy local interests or
1rejudices, to combine the largest
number of diverse influences, to 81
