Why should the officeholders of the state pay the expenses of the campaign for the bond issue? If the bond issue is for the benefit of all the people, why can not Governor Henderson pay the ex- penses out of his contingent fund?
 In this connection it will be interesting to note what part the multiplication of offices, and increase in salaries has played in the last few years in creating a deficit in the state treasury.

Dear Sir-Some of the friends of the bond issue, realizing the importance to the state of Alabama of it's adoption, and realizing the grave chances of it's mis- carriage unless the importance of it's adoption is properly presented to the vot- CTS; they also realizing in order to do this there is compelled to be consider able expense incurred in the way of stationery, postage and steno- gaphic work;
 Therefore, I have been designated to make this appeal to you, as a patriotic citizen. if this meets with your approval, to please contribute as literally as you can to help defray the expenses of print ing and mailing literature to the voters of Alabama, thereby assuring the adop- tion of the bond issue on the 18th day of January, 1916.
 Please attend to this at once as the time is very limited for this to be &C., complished Mall check to me, payable to Hon. J. Kirk Jackson, treasurer

WILSON AND HIS job am
going to vote for President Wilson
because he is trying out some new
methods in international diplomacy.
Everybody feels that the old school
of craftsmanship is a dismal failure.
Everybody feels that the old kind of
diplomacy was the work of neurOtic.
men who tried to train the nations to
be easily fUstered and to fly at each
others threats on the slightest prov
OcatiOn. Everybody. feels that the
old notions of national loneliness
and supersensitiveness and interna-
tOnal arrogance are thoroughly dis
credited. Everybody feels that the
whole fabric has been burned up in
the European war which the bung-
ling statesmen invited and which
their futility failed to avert. Every
body feels that some new way must
be tried.
Now, who in the whole wide world
is in any position or condition to ex-
pertinent now with new methods of
craftsmanship? Who is big enough
and free enough to do pioneering
work?
President Wilson thinks that this
nation is big enough to say to the
world: u am ready to fight for

fight in a common brawl. I shall not
be stampeded into a fight by unwor-
thy motives, nor shall be gOaded
into it by taunts or sneers. shall
bide my time and choose the fight
that may become a nation of my
parts and attainments Meanwhile
shall try to dispose of all lesser an
noyances, though they ever so much
plague me, by patience, fOTbearance
and watchful waiting" 1t is a big
job to undertake. But President Will
son thinks he are big enough to try
it.
They tell us that Wilson made
mistakes, wabbled and changed his
course. This may or may not be
true. However that may be, all who
leave the beaten and bIoOd-marked
road and strike out in a new path
must be prepared for that. Expert
menting means cropping for the
light. Why should one expect the
new way to be easy, or refuse to fol-
low? Where has the old way led
us?
We are told that Wilson's policies
did not accomplish peace in Mexico
in three years. Why so impatient;
why not try bit longer? Are three
years a fair trial? War has been
tried for ages. Has it been a sue
cess: is it now?
We are told by the champions of
the old school that wilson's diplo-
racy brought humiliation to Amer
let. We reply that the old kind of
diplomacy brought destruction to
half the world. We are told that we
are the Iaughing-stock of Europe.
Well, if so, we can easily afford it,
Poor, old bleeding Europe! How
glad we are to be able to divert you,
there is so little that may give you
mirth.

THE PUBLIC FORUM

HE'S FOR HOYNE.-For the first
time in my life I am writing to the
editor of a newspaper. 1 want to
thank you for your determined atti-
tude and oUtspoken truths as regards
the present conflict between States
Atty Hoyne and the City Hall forces.
I have been a staunch Republican
since the day cast my first vote, but
on Nov. z shall surely vote for Mac
lay HOyne. He has made good, and
if the people of Chicago who really
want the right to prosper would
rally to his standard we would make
Harry B. Miller and big BiD'' look
sick.

uonable weakness in the abdominal
muscles, which should hold the barrel
close up to the backbone.
p Loins.-The loins are that portion of
the back bone just in front of line
drawn between the hip bones and ex-
tending forward to the beginning of
the short ribs. The loins should be
broad and strong. A sag or drop in this
section of the back indicates weakness.
A lack of width in this region is caused
by short processes on each side of the
backbone.
Hind Quarters, Hip Bones.-The hip
bones should be wide apart and promi-
nent. e.
Rump.-The rump should be long,
wide and level The length is measur-
ed from the hips to the pin bones. The
rrmp is level when plane, passed
through the top Of the hip and pin
bones is horizontal. A high pelvic
arch is not desirable. The pelvic arch
is inclosed by the spinal column and
the pelvic bones. The joints Of this
arch constitute the hip and pin bones,
and this region contains the greater
part Of the reproductive organs in
which the calf develops. It is asserted
by some breeders thata short rump is
associated with short udder and
sloping rump with sloping udder.
Pin Bones. These bones are the
parts Of the pelvis which are on each
side of the tail. They should be promi-
nent, widely spaced and on level

win the hips. Low placed pin bones
are the cause Of sloping rump.
Thighs.-The inner surface of the
thighs should. be thin and curved out
so as to give ample room for the I'D
der. Beefy, thick thighs are an OBJ
lection, as they do not indicate spe-
cialization in the milk producing tunc,
ton and do not give room for broad
udder. - ,.t,,ss...a
Tail.-The tail should be level in its
attachment to the spinal column, small
at this junction, aud the bone should
extend to the hooks. It should be
thin throughout and the switch long
and fine.
Escutcheon. - The escutcheon or
milk mirror is the region above tho
udder between the thighs, where the
hair grows in different direction.
Hind Legs.-The legs should be even
~ and squarely placed on the body.
The bones Of the legs should be clean
and close in texture. The Joints
should be ample In size to form lever

but they should be free from growths

laginous. When the hooks are set

they are described as sickle hooks.

ment to the body Of the COW. In shape
it should be somewhat rounding, with
the lower part, floor or sole Of the I'D
der as level as possible The develop
ment should be symmetrical to MAKE
the quarters even in size. The more
common defects. in the udder are short
attachment. in front and. low attach
ment behind, lack of width, sagging or
pendulousness, a lack of uniform de-
velopment and deshiness. +
Probably poor. fore udders are as
common as any other defect. Lack Of
development in this region causes
short udder attachment to the cows
body and very frequently accompanies
pendulous udder.
PenduloNs udders indicate a short
body attachment Tar. and 2 weakness q
the muscul lar tissue which holds the
udder to the body. Such udders are LA
bic to be bruised by swinging when the
animal walks q. r4ns and also are IN
danger Of being stepped on by the cow
when she rises.
Three kinds of tissue go to make
cows udder--namely, glandular, mus
cular and f1eshy. The first kind is the
secreting tissue that produces the milk,
and the more there is of it the better.
The function of muscular tissue is to
support the udder and insure it's firm
attachment to the body.
Fleshy tissue is undesirable in the
udder, and it's presence indicates lack
Of quality and producing ability.
Glandular tissue has a springy, elastic
feeling, and an udder in which this pre-
dominates collapses to a great extent
when empty. On the other hand, when
feshy tissue composes a large portion
Of the udder the latter is firm and does
not collapse when empty. Considerable
skill is necessary to determine the kind
of tissue in the udder by the feeling.
The safer way is to have the COW

POINTS THAT MARK
GOOD DAIRY animals
Form Of Parts That Indicate
Heavy Milk Production.

Prepared by United States department OF
agricultural
In addition to the general form which
marks the dairy type, there are indi-
v1dual parts of the cow which indicate
her ability to produce a surplus Of
milk. Following Is a description OF
the more desirable form of the parts
!, denoting heavy productions:
heads of the male and fe
male are much the same, except that
greater size and heaviness are expect
ed in that Of the former. As a whole
the head should have a clean cut out
line and be free from any coarseness
Of bone, flesh or skin. In the bull
score card more weight is given this
part than in the COW score card, which
Is owing to the fact that the general
character Of the bull and his masculin-
ity are evidenced in his head. A
strong, muscular muzzle and jaws in
&ate ability to handle large quantities
r5f feed. The form and quality Of face,
forehead, eye and horn indicate the
nervous energy and refinement essen
t1al to productive ability.
Neck.-The necks of the COW and the
bull are radically different. That of
the COW should be Of medium length,
slender, free from flesh and loose skin.
It should be small at the junction with
the head and should join the shoulders
smoothly. The neck Of the bull should
be of medium length, small at the head
and swelling into prominent crest
The crest in the bull indicates mascu-
Unity and should be both high and
broad.
Fore Quarters, Withers.-The withers
should be sharp, the ends of the shoul-
der blades fitting close to the spinal
processes and ending some distance
below the top Of them. This junction
should be so smooth as to form
,. straight line from the top of the spinal
1rocesses down the shoulder blade to
its junction with the foreleg.
Body, Capacity, Back.-1t is very
IMPORTANT NAoo-
tn this region, as the back supports the
weight Of the abdomen or barrel.
Ribs.-Flat ribs are found to be as
ISOLATED with the wedge shaped, lean
appearance of the dairy animal as com
nared with the round ribs of the beef
animal.
Barrel.-The barrel in both the male
and the female should be broad. deep
and full and we'll held up with well
sprung ribs. A good sized barrel indl'
Gates large capacity for digesting feed
~ one of the essential functions of the
dairy COW. Although the barrel should
be large, it should not sag away from
the backbone into what is popularly
called a pot belly" leaving loose Skin

NAL walks. This indicates an obiec

GOVERNOR vETOES BILL.
Rejects Act Requiring Written State
.ment. OF. Reasons For Refusing
,..~ Appeals:

(, Richmond, March %. - Governor
Stuart yesterday vetoed House bill
No. 1885,. requiring the Supreme Court
of Appeals to give reasons in writ
ing for refusing an appeal, thereby,
exercising for the first time in the
consideration Of the new crop OF lc-
eislative acts his right to reject any
measure which, while constiutionally
unobjectionable, does not meet with
his judgment in other particulars.
Around this bill centered one OF
the liveliest fights Of the recent ses-
sion. 1t was prccipitated early with
the introduction by Delegate Gordon,
of Louisa, of resolution requiring
the Supreme Court to file state
mcnt showing how many appeals
have been granted by it in recent
years to corporations and individu-
ais, and how many appeals of both
classes it has refused. The resolution
was killed.
Behind this resolution and House
bill No. go was the yelled charge
that in gfranting and oenying appeals
the Supreme Court has shown a dis
position to favoi. corporations as
against private individuals. While
this charge was never openly made,
either in committee or on tire floor OF
the House, its purport was com
mon property.
The enactment of law requiring
the Supreme Court to state in writing
its reasons for refusing an appeal, II
was assumed by those who gave ear
to TIE charge Of discrimination, would
correct the condition complained of
by placing Or the court the burden Of
justifying each and every refusal to
grant AN appeal. Since the cases in
; which individuals seek relief from
verdicts rendered in favor of cor.
porations from the larger class, Il
was sought by this bill to meet the
alleged discrimination by requiring
a statement justifying the courts
action. Under the present practice
the court merely enters an order al,
lowing or denying an appeal without
assigning any reasons.
