EX-PRESIDENTIAL LAUGH.
TER

M R. TAFT is a joYial eiti-
JfI zen and entitled to re-
spect for many excel
lent qualities. But he seems
to have no more sympathy
than he had four years ago for
such measures as the initiative
and referendum and the direct
primary.
1t is stated that the ex-presi-
dent SHOOK with mirth" while
discussing progressive steps
taken by the states of Oregon
and Washington. 1t is much
like his attitude four years
ago when he declared that
people who favored such re-
formatory moves were neuro-
tics.
The view of the ex-president
is that the average citizen is
not capable Of passing Judg-
ment on who should be the
nominees of his party for Of
flee or upon what legislative
measures should be adopted.
This same view is held by
Boss Murphy and by Boss
Barnes of New York. 1t was
held by all the old time bosses
and bosslets in Oregon. 1t is
still held by most Of the cor
poration heads and corpora
ton lawyers. 1t was much
easier for those people to
handle affairs under the old
system than under the new. It
is difficult for them TO keep
control at all times when all
the people have a vote.
But the fact such people dis
like the Oregon plan does not
prove anything. If Mr.. Taft
can derive any pleasure by
laughing at our ways, let him

THE PRODUCERS FRIEND
40 man in public life has
~ shown himself a more
sincere friend of the pro-
ducer than William G. Nc
Adoo, secretary of the treas
ury. He is the first secretary
who ever took intelligent steps
to aid the producer at crop
moving time, he is largely re-
sponSible for the fact that
notes backed by growing crops
or by other farm products
pass as commercial paper at
the federal reserve banks,
something of keen Importance
to farmers.
Therefore the producers of
the nation will do we'll to
take note of Secretary Nc
Adoo's attitude toward other
subjects, particularly the ship
purchase bill. 1t is a matter in
which he is taking an active
part. In a letter written Au-
gust l, this year, Secretary
McAdoo discussed the merits
of the ship purchase bill in de-
tail and in reviewing the eff
fects of its failure to pass said: !:
Had this bill been promptly pass.
ed, there is no doubt that a very CON
siderable number of ships could have
been bought at that time: that others
could have been chartered, and the
company would have been ready by
this time to begin rendering a sub
stantial service to American COM
merce, Orders for other ships could
have been placed in our ship yards
and large number of ships would
already have been under construc-
tion. But, If ships could not have
been bought promptly, the company
had authority to lease ships, as be-
fore stated, and, undoubtedly. a very
considerable fleet of vessels could
have been assembled by this time to
carry our cotton and other American
products upon the high seas at rea-
sonable rates of freight and with

Why Birds Eggs Are of Different Colors


EDITOR srAR-can you tell me why birds eggs are Of dr.
1t is interesting how particular kind OF bird
always produces the kind OF color in its eggs and
in feathers
II is not the particular kind food the birds feed on
the surroundings they live in that has do
the special color OF their eggs 1t is the particular
chemistry OF the body OF the bird The differences IN
color depend upon the presence the different shells
OF various colorng substances.
Perhaps you could change the shade OF the color OF
hens eggs, by food but you will get hen lay
specked green egg. The color may be little bit
lighter perhaps darker shade than usual but the
color OF the shell is really special the particular bird
