"The Crisis of COnstitutiOnalism"

North American Review: There is
an insidious form of attack upon con-
stitutional government which should
not escape observation. 1t is the dis
position to withdraw and annul that
act of popular remuneration of each in
the interest of all upon which the
success of constitutional government
is based. 1t is important that this
point should be made clear, for it con-
tains the chief justification for speak
ing of "credit" in constitutionalism
The greatest present danger to con-
stitutional government is the revoca-
ton of this splendid sacrifice of per-
sonal advantage to the common we'll
being; the agreement of the people
not to attempt an act of conquest upon
one another, but to live on terms of
equality under just laws.
In considering the drift of the social
forces now in operation, one is struck

years ago that the skim milk was
worth considerable when fed to hogs,
but as he did not raise any grain or
fattening feed, and as he did not care
to keep hogs other than for market
for skim milk, he purchased some
fairly well bred gifts and pure bred
boar and started what might be
termed a "piggery."
When the first litters came on he
had different neighbors stop in and
look at them and he offered them
for sale at $3.50 apiece. There were
few left on his hands which he aft
erward sold to the butcher, but in
a short time his trade built up after
it was found that the stock were good
feeders on account of being highly
bred.

Dairyman's Piggery

Pacific Rural Press: Making money
out of hogs when only sows and boars
too old to breed are sold to the butch
er may seem a little strange when ii
is known that nothing but the boars
are pure bred and although the sows
are highly bred the pigs are not eli
gible to registry.
Although unusual, this is being done
on a dairy ranch in the San joaquin
valley, where a pig business has been
built up to a point where the litters
are sold as soon as weaned at from
$3.50 to So apiece as soon as they are
weaned. which is usually when they
are five or six weeks old.
Having a good sized dairy, the
owner Of the ranch found several

done when one does not care to spend
the time necessary to fatten and finish
pigs for the market, but also shows
that farmers appreciate the well bred
hog after they have handled him a
while, even though they consider that
they are unable to pay good price
for a pure bred boar.
The truth of the matter is that
every one of this mans customers
should be raising his own pigs from
well bred sows and a pure bred boar,
for if this man can do it and make
money why shouldn't his neighbors ?
While the pure bred dairy sire is
becoming more generally recognized,
it seems that there is still room for
an awakening of dairymen to the
value of better bred hogs.

revenue has been materially increased
The sows are bred to farrow twice
year, which makes an average OF
about Is pigs a year of each sow, or
an average return of from $3.50 to
S45 year per sow.
Although skim milk is the principal
feed, some grain is used and small
field of alfalfa for pasture is turned
over to the hogs to run on.
Tests are made at different times
and by selling the pigs in this way
when the grain and alfalfa were fig
ured at actual cost, the skim milk
has been valued as high as 65 cents
a hundred and never lower than At
cents, the difference varying accord
ing to the pigs.
This not only shows what can be
Imperial Valley press. (El Centro, Calif.) 1907-current, 1914-01-02

From time to time new gifts were
selected from the filters to afterward
replace those sows which became too
old and new boars have been pur-
chased as occasion demanded, with the
result that each year the standard
has been raised and the market has
become broader as a result, for by
purchasing such pigs it has been found
that they were of marketable age
much sooner than the scrubs.
AS the market became broader and
as only SO many breed sows could be
kept, the question of more production
became apparent, and to get this sows
which narrowed small litters were dis
posed of and only those with large
uniform filters were kept, and in that
way the yearly production as well as

simply because it is law. This is, no
by the diminished respect for law
doubt, in part owing to the changed
conception of the source of legal au-
thority. When men sincerely believed
in "inalienable rights" and conceived
OF law as the guardian of those rights,
it was estimated worthy of a senti-
ment of reverence.
The one thing most certain is that
If we are to preserve and justify con-
stitutional government, we must be
ever ready to defend it. If we are to
defend it, we who believe in it must
act together. To many minds it
seems at this moment the one over
mastering issue. When principles have
been settled, men have always been
found to render them effective. What
we need at present is not so much
leaders as statement of the prin-
ciples by which we should be led, and
which we should then insist upon hav-
ing applied in practice.

tached to the automobile. which had
stopped at that time.
An examination OF the CIR and the
appearance of the ground indicated
that the brakes had been set and that
an effort had been made to bring the
car to a stop Immediately before the
accident occurred. The tracks left by
the tires showed that for a distance
OF sixty feet the car had skidded and
torn up the. ground before it turned
over.
Mr.. Maury left his room at the
Bender Hotel about noon time Sunday
for drive to Galveston in his car.
which he had only recently purchased.
There is a clear stretch of road run
ming from Dickinson to La Marque. a
distance of about eight miles. Accord
ing TO Judge Hamblen, Mr.. Maury
passed his car on the road just after
leaving Dickinson and was travelling
at a fast gait.
Threw Steer a Hundred Feet.
The district attorney had reached a
point Az miles south of Dickinson
when a steer suddenly ran in the path
way of the machine. The car hit the
animal. breaking the right hind leg
AT the knee and throwing 1t distance
of about 100 feet along the roadway.
The force OF the impact threw the
steering gear to the left, causing Mr.,
Maury to lose his grasp on the wheel
and throwing him into the ground. The
machine continued acorss the roadway
taking a diagonal course until it struck
the ditch at the side of the roadway
and turned complete somersault on
its side. landing on the grass near the
railroad crossing, and turned about SO
that il was headed toward Houston.
II caught fire Immediately and eXplod
ed the gas tank on the machine. The
flames consumed all but one tire and
spread to the telegraph pole nearby
burning it through and leaving the
wires hanging.
After Mr.. Maury struck the ground
he was seen to move little as If at
tempting to crawl to one side of the
road. Captain Morrow of the Twenty
seventh Infantry hurried to the side
of the injured man, to whom he spoke
a few words. Word was immediately
sent TO Galveston and the Houston 20
lice department was notified. West
