An Interesting Decision

The supreme court has just ren,
dered a decision which is Of gen
eral importance. A girl went in
to the yard of neighbor who
owned a vicious bull dog. The
dog attacked the girl and severely
tore her flesh. A suit for dam
ages was filed by the girls mother,
and the jury awarded her 500.
Both sides appealed and the court
reversed the decision on the
ground that the sum was entirely
inadequate. In rendering the de-
cision the court says:
cit appears from the testimony
that this brindle bull dog had pre-
viously bitten other people and
that his vicious and ferociouS
character was well known to the
appellants and that he was kept
on the premises running loose,
with the full knowledge of appel.
lants that he would attack per
sons who might come within the
yard. The verdict for 500 IL
this case is grossly inadequate
and evinces passion, prejudice OF
a reckless disregard of the testi
mony, on the part of the jury

A Sinister Proceeding

The Clarion-Ledger would con-
vince Governor Bilbo that his re-
fusal to accept the Supreme
court decision against his ap-
pointment of a factory inspector
is a fragrant violation of law.
But as explained by the Gov
ernor's attorney, Judge Robert
Mayes, it is not so bad as that.
Finality Of the case awaits the
ruling of the court upon a sug-
gestion of error he is preparing.
The sinister feature of the case
as it stands is that the Mayes
motion will be presented to a
court a majority of whose men,
bers are BilbO appointees.
Though this is a mere incident
on it's face, and we trust in its
bearing on the said judges, it is
much more in the Bilbo philoso-
ply of his appointing power,
While the bare suggestion of
such an ill-fayored considera-
ton would have been a calumny
against governors Of the old
regime, it is not with one who
rounds up his levee boards and
hospital ct Get trustees, and
swears them to appoint to places
Of trust and profit they control,
his political henchmen. He has
even laid profane and factional
hands on the old soldiers home.
The integrity Of the court does
not weigh with such a chief ex-
ecutive.

Whence This Prosperity?

In flush times, such as now pre-
vail over most of the United
States, if the Republicans happen
to be in power they cry to the
country: 1--WE brought You pros
perity; why should YOU turn Us
out!" And the result has been
that the country needed the cry.
Now that the Democrats are in
power the Republicans say that
politics has nothing to do with
the present wave Of prosperity,
and but for the war the whole
cauntry would be at a low level Of
depression.
Not only do the Republican
politicians say this, but the great
banking houses that reflect the
views of the Wall Street inhu-
ences and are part and parcel Of
the Privilege that controls the
Republican party say it. J. S.
Bache & Co., New York, issue one
of the most widely read weekly
reviews coming out of New York.
It's Republican affiliations are
just as widely known. Hear
Bache & Co.:
"No one who gave the mat
ter the briefest thought
would claim that the activity and
profit of the business movement
is due to anything but the war. ="
Mobilians recently heard Secre
tary Redfeld say that the war
tax business, while immense, was
not a vital element in the eight
thousand millions of foreign com
merce now being done by this
country, and that the great
bulk of that business was not
grain and raw products but the
complete manufactured article
which comes from the mills and
factories and shops that employ
the body of our voting population
and these voters are nov being
paid higher wages than in years
past. There is no idleness in the
manufacturing towns, and the
prosperity the manufacturers en-
ljOy is being spread and enjoyed
by tha transportation companies,
rail and water, by their employees
which number millions, by the
banks and merchants and finally
by the farmers.
If Republican policies can bring
prosperity so can Democratic
policies, and such pronounced
and unusual prosperity as we now
have must be credited to the
Democratic administration, The
country will laugh at any man
who tries to take the credit away.

country, namely, that "dairJ
bred COWS show a decided ten.
dency toward a longer lactation
period than scrub cows"
You can tell a body of dairy
men that one benefit Of dairy
breeding is that the time of giving
milk is heightened and a conse'
quent larger amount of milk and
butter fat, but too many of them
are "from Missouri The test
association will convince the most
skeptica.
Right here is the most convinc-
ing argument for an association,
foi such an organization invari-
ably leads to dairy breeding, the
selling of the scrub and the dual
purpose COW and the adoption of
a system OF breeding which leads
to profit.
Very often the question is
asked, How long should a COW
rest between lactation periods!
This association proved conclu
sively that one month was not
long enough, but that nothing
was gained with rest OF two
months or more.
"Cows which freshened in the
fall produced on the average 40, |
lb. more fat and returned -. 45
more profit above cost of feed dur
ing the next twelve months thar
cows freshening in the spring
The cost of feed was only So, 81
more per head for the COWS fresh
ening in the fall y
This one association taught this
truth, that if the same improve
ment made with one herd during
two years could be made with
all the COWS in the state, it would
mean an annual increase of 81,
$50, 900 over the present value o.

This being true can anyone
explain why COW testing associa
tions are not formed all over th'
state? And yet this is true o
every state in the union wher'
dairviDg is practiced.
Ii any of our big corporation
could see an opportunity to in
crease the profits of their busine
with as little cost to the busines
as the COW testing association
involves, they would jump at th'
opportunity.
The whole trouble lies in tn
fact that we have not learned th
