WHY THE GUEST DECLINED.

AS 1t was his birthday Smith wa.
allowed To take friend home to din
ner. but his wife gave him strict or
ders that he must not offer his CUES,
sherry, as they had none in he
house.
AS usual, Smith forgot all about
the injunction
Won't you have a glass Of sherry
old man." he said. as the meal pro.
ceeded. The guest turned very red
and stammered that he never drank
IT,
What rubbish" said Smith. 81
know that is not true. Do try IT,"
The guest looked quite disturbed.
No. mo- l would much rather
not?" he said imploringly, and turn
ed redder than ever.
When the evening was finished and
the guest had gone, Mrs. Smith said
to her husband:
Why on earth did you press the
sherry. when 1 kept kicking you un-
der the table, too, to remind you that
there wasn't any?"
Smith looked at her.
1T wasn't me you kicked. my
dear." he said.

class, bad as we'll as good. could he
sold. West of the Missouri river so
deficient were the corn crop and sum-
mer forage that large portion of the
cattle were hurriedly and prematurely
sold at prices much lower than farm
ers paid for cattle in the following au-
tumn when they began to restock their
pastures. The price Of corn rose so
high in the autumn of 1913 as to make
the profitable feeding of cattle for
teef unpromising. In some parts of
the drought area, bankers who had
advanced money to farmers for feed
ing beef cattle were afraid that feed
ing would be Improbable and forced
farmers to sell prematurely. In March,
1913. blizzard killed many .thous-
ands Of cattle in Nebraska In the
Gulf states from Florida to Louisiana
IL the autumn Of 1913. buyers from
Texas and parts of the region to the
north bought all Of the cows that they
could obtain, even scrubs, for stock
ing or restocking pastures on farms
and ranges, for breeding purposes. In
a part Of Mississippi the poor cotton
crop compelled farmers to sell cows
to pay debts.
For several years the number of
! cattle other than milch cows had de-
creased in Texas. until the droughts
of recent years stopped the sale OF
cattle ranges in the western portion
Of the United States for use as farms,
which had been the main cause of the
former reduction in number Of cattle.
The increase Of cattle in 1914 was
| caused by importations from Mexico
since the new tariff act went into ef-
feet October 4. 1913. permitting the
entry Of cattle duty free. While it is
true that large fraction of the cattle
imported from Mexico goes directly to
the slaughterhouses, 1t is also true
that considerable numbers of them
have been sent to pastures in the
western portion of Texas, where the
grazing, because of abundant rains,
has for several months been as fine
as was ever known. In other parts of
the state some of these cattle are pas
tured on winter wheat and oats.
In California the day of stock rails
ing is rapidly passing. The ranges
are becoming smaller, and the number
OF range cattle becomes less every
year.
The cattle on farms. other than
milch cows. are now about three times
their number in 1850. The census Of
that year reported 11.394.o00. The
number increased to 17,034000 in
1860. but the losses OF the civil war
had not been replaced by 1870. in
which year the census disclosed a de-
cline to 14.8s5,s9s. Then followed the
great extension of settlement on new
public and railroad lands west Of the

PREDESTINATION.

Two ministers. Presbyterian and
Methodist, were taking a walk along
railroad track one day. discussing
good natureily the points of differ
ence Of their respective creeds Pres
emily. coming to the yawning mouth
of one of those long tunnels for which
this road is famous, the Methodist
suggested that they go in. They had
gone but short distance when the
Presbyterian brother exclaimed with
sudden determination:
I'm going to get out of here What
II train should come along.'
"Oh, we'll" responded the other,
with a twinkle which his companion
could not see. what Is to be will
me- you know"
Yes" was the retort, but don't
want 1t to be in here."-Lippincott
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1914-02-23

more platform and the charge will be
true.
. In reply, however, the administra-
ton may truthfully say that either
that platform plank had to be re-
pudiated or else the United States as
a nation would stand in the position
OF violating a treaty obligation. A
section of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty
says:
The canal shall be free and open to
the vessels of commerce and Of war of
all nations observing these rules, on
terms Of entire equality, so that there
shall be no discrimination against any
such nation or its citizens or subjects
in respect of the conditions or charges
or traffic or otherwise; such con-
ditions and charges of traffic shall be
just and equitable"
The Hay-Pauncefote treaty was
made at the instance of the United
States because this country wished to
escape from the provisions of the
Clayton Bulwer treaty which was in
force from 1850 until the ratification
of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty in 1901.
Under the first treaty the govern
ments of the United States and OF
Great Britain each pledged itself not
to obtain or maintain for itself ex-
elusive control over the canal when
the same was built. The new treaty
gave this country much broader pow
ers than it had under the Clayton
Bulwer treaty. Yet even at that it is
unfair. The United States built the
canal and should have exclusive say
as to its operation. Yet the canal
was built with full knowledge of the
treaty with England and in fact the
same forces that were in control of
this government when the Hay-Paun-
cefote treaty was made were in con-
troll when the canal was started.
Therefore England has a logical right
to ask for the fulfillment of the treaty.
Those who would criticise President
Wilson for observing the treaty obli-
cations of this country would be near
er the point Of they would go back
some 13 years into history and de-
nounce the administration that enter
ed into such an agreement.
