If corn is the only grain available,

grass hays, such as timothy and red
top or the other carbohydrate rough
ages. II no Toughage is available
other than the carbohydrate class,
corn should be supplemented by pro-
tein concentrate, such as cottonseed
meal. Corn may be replaced by eth
er oats or ground barley, but neither
of them has as high a food value as
corn. Oats can not proftably replace
corn, If they are worth more than one
half as much as corn per busheL Bar
ley is an excellent substitute for corn,
and, though not commonly grown, the
acreage is increasing rapidly, due to
the prevailing high prices of corn and
the fact that barley can be grown dur
ing the winter and early spring,
Corn will in all probability continue
to be the most important grain for
work stock The amount Of corn
necessary to maintain an animal may
be very materially reduced by supple

THE POSITION OF ST. MARKS
A Church Defines Its Attitude Toward
the Tannenbaum Army.

TO the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: That the position OF st. Mark S
Church in regard to the recent shelterinG
Of certain unemployed men in the church
premises be subject TO no misunderstand-
ing, I inclose the following resolution.
unanimously adopted at the parish meet
ing OF st. Marks on Wednesday evening.
March 4:
"The members of the parish OF the
Protestant Episcopal Church OF st. Mark s
in-the- Bouwerie. associated In the parish
meeting this 4th day OF March. IN the
year OF our Lord 1914, mindful OF our
Divine Masters command to succor the
poor and needy, and not forgetful OF our
responsibilities as holders OF its property
I'm trust for the purposes OF It's formation,
do hereby indorse the action Of our rector
and extend our sympathies to such OF the
unemployed as are in need of work and
willing TO do II.
1--WE have no sympathy. however, with
lawlessness and disorder as means OF
allevia ting suffering. nor have We any
purpose OF allowing our church to be an
instrument In carrying out such purposes
by any political or economic organiza-
ton"

The !. w. W. Under Arrest.

No sensible person has the slightest sympathy
with the J. W. w raiders. Their arrest Is popular
In arrestng them the city has not interfered with
the right Of strikers to meet and agitate for better
conditions Lawrence and Paterson did in their
doing would serve no legitimate end 1t would not
better the condition Of his followers nor secure them
employment Its sole purpose was to exasperate the
public and thus advertise the l. w. W.
But just because 1t is desirable to put these an
noying and perhaps dangerous pests in Jail it is ell
the more necessary TO proceed with moderation.
IIigh-handed action the part Of the authorities
excessive ball. forced constructions OF the law in
alleging an offence against them, Will come back to
plague the city. We hope that Mayor Mitchell in
ordering the arrest has made perfectly sure of his
ground and has furnished no handle to the other
agltators Of the ]. w. w. who are already focking
here TO make the most Of Tannenbaums martyr
dom" 1t IS indispensable that perfect fairness
should be shown, that the law should take its course
toward the raiders precisely if they had not been
upon the front pages OF the newspapers for days,
and precisely as If the whole community not
devoutly wishing to be delivered Of them.
The experience Of other cities has been that the
]. W. w. is never so dangerous or troublesome as
when some Of its leaders are under arrest. There
is not the slightest sympathy with Tannenbaum and
his crowd now. But so strong Is the OF justice
In this country that there will be sympathy with
them, rogues and pests though they are the mo-
ment any disposition is shown TO railroad" them
out of the way The city must be careful not TO
create sympathy for them

Working Powers for the Graft Hunters

The Assembly graft investigating committee has
found itself compelled, under the resolution which
created It, TO make a preliminary report-teling
nothing not already known-and TO ask for an ex-
tension OF time in which to begin some real work.
Il has also had to ask the Assembly to make
explicit an implied or assumed grant OF power to
investigate departments other than the Highways
Department.
IL was obvious when the committee was created
that It would meet these troubles as well as the
difficulty Of obtaining appropriation through any
bill needing the concurrence OF the Democratic
Senate Nanifestly some general legislative inves-
tigaton Of state affairs is needed and apart from
tho fact that this committee does not represent
both branches Of the Legislature It is accepta-
bic instrument for that work. II It is TO be the
public's agency for this tnsk It certainly should
have all the time and power necessary 1t has a
heavy responsibility md will meet acute disap-
prevail If II does not do the Job thoroughly and
without any political bias. II surely ought 70
have rs tools for the work

the latest prophecies from Paris as TO the spring

Two other items accept with gladness The
slit goes; and the hustle cometh not. What better
harbingers of spring could there be than these in

SHOELESS SNOW SHOVELLERS
A Call Is Made for Contributions to
Help the Poorly Shod.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: As result OF having sheltered
every night here at the University Settle
ment for nearly a month some go home
less men, ! find that most Of them are in
great need of shoes, their feet being
at best poorly shod One man the other
evening told another that he had frozen
feet" The need is especially great in
View of the fact that these men can find
no other work at present than shovelling
snow Their feet, besides being wet, are
invariably swollen at night, which nat
urally makes their work all the more
difficult for them.
May l appeal through your columns for
funds with which 10 purchase shoes for
these men? Any amount that could be
realized as a result Of your making pub
lie mention of the need would be speedily
acknowledged and gratefully received.

A Common Sense Curfew.

Mr. Mitches plan for dealing with the allnight
resorts seems a happy solution Of a much pondered
problem. The rule adopted by Mayor Gaynor salts
fed nobody. 1t gave an unfair monopoly to the few
restaurants licensed to remain open; It proved a
real hardship for night workers, and it arbi-
trary and senseess restriction upon pleasure seekers
The new method will leave the Mayor free TO
curb rowdysm and indecency. 1t will, on the other
hand make it possible for every respectable resau
rant to serve the public late there IS a public
demand Which will strike most unprecedented New
Workers as a calm and simple piece Of common
sense injected into much abused and thoroughly

The Presidents Stand for National
Honor.

President Wilson has appeared to better
advantage than he did yesterday when urging MS
party in Congress to undo an act Of national bad
faith It takes high intellectual and moral courage
ito confess error and to make pledges Of repara-
ton. The Democratic party about as thor
oughy committed as 1t could be to the exemption
of coastwise shipping from the payment OF Panama
Canal tolls. Not only did the Democratic national
platform Of 1912 approve that exemption, brought
about by Democratic votes in Congress- but Mr..
Wilson himself when candidate for President,
praised it as an encouragement to American Ship
ping and a proper means of reducing the cost Of
Transportation between the Atlantic and Pacific sea-
boards.
The Democratic party In 1912 treated the exemp
aion issue with the levty often shown by an op-
position In dealing with questions which involve
both domestic and international policies. An oppoSt
tion, seeking power, makes its appeal to the do
,mestic interests and acknowledges little or
sponsbility for the discharge of international obi
igations. The Democrats two years ago were ma
npuvring to put the Taft administration in hole
and to catch the Pacific Coast vote The fact that
they were trying to win domestic advantage at
1.-THE expense of violation of treaty pledges weighed
little with them until they found themselves in
power and facing the troublesome consequences In
international relations of what the rest Of the world
considered a deliberate exhibition Of bad faith
President Wilson has felt these consequences more
keenly than any other Democrat He sincerely re-
grets now that he and his party played politics with
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. He is broad-minded
enough to repudiate in the nations interest mis-
taken attitude and mistaken platform. In that
respect he looms large in comparison with associates
like Mr.. Underwood, who put personal consistency
above national honor party wisdom. The Pres
dent has no petty dread of being twitted for his
inconsistency. 1t is more important to him TO be
right than to keep his political record straight, and
he deserves the admiration Of the country for the
directness and simplicity with which he has cut
loose from an error of the past and planted himself
firmly on the high ground Of scrupulous exactness
in living up 10 treaty agreements.
That his party in Congress will follow him Is
hardly open to doubt. 1t cannot persist in treaty
breaking without breaking at the same time with
the only successful leader it has had In couple of
generations. We cannot imagine the Democratic
majority refusing a request put In 50 lofty and
persuasive manner, especially since the only repu-
tation and honor which It has recently enjoyed have
come to it solely because it has nestled obedienty
I'm the hollow Of the Presidents hand.

ROADS IN WESTCHESTER

Of nearly 5000 Each community tries 70
work out its own problems, and many OF
them are doing SO quite successfully, bu'
it is very seldom that the activity CT az
joining communities along the same lines
is taken into consideration.
With comprehensive plan for the en-
tire county and a commission with az
thcrity to see that all public improve

Not a Jack Pot" Appointment.

The appointment OF Mr. William Phillips as
Third Assistant Secretary of State followed hard
the announcement Of Mr.. John Bassett Moores re-
tirement counsellor of the State Department.
Even Mr.. Bryan must have been convinced that
something had to be done to increase the depart
ments qudntum Of diplomatic intelligence and ex-
perience. The situation desperate enough TO
compel sudden reversal Of the policy under which
most of the posts In the foreign service have been
bestowed on political claimants from the interior
void Of either knowledge Of the world or technical
diplomatic training.
Mr. Phillips cannot alone fill the big gap left by
the withdrawal Of Professor Moore. Yet his ap-
pOntment U.s. with the exception Of Mr. Noore's and
Mr.. Adee's, the best yet made inside the State De
partment. He held the same Office under Presidents
Roosevelt and Taft and has also served in minor
department posts and as secretary of legation and
secretary Of embassy. He Is the type OF man at
tracted into diplomacy in those happier days when
the government was holding out promises Of making
such a permanent and worth while Presi-
dent Wilson and Mr. Bryan ruthlessly blighted that
hope But now in emergency they acknowledge
the spells theory in diplomatic preferment to be Il
failure by turning to a man who has learned inside
the service how TO discharge its business with con-
fdence and correctness
May Mr. Phillipss selection mark turn in the
long lane Of msft diplomatic appointments
