Some time during 1912, in a period
of just few weeks, two or three
young men were sent out by the
Federal Bureau of Animal Industry to
investigate the dairy and creamery
interests of this country, and the in
vestigation covered IA of the $4,000
creameries and cream stations of the
United States. On the strength of
this Investigation the conclusion was
drawn that 94.5 per cent of the cream
cries are insanitary, and that 61.5 per-
cent of the cream used is dirty or de-
composed, or both. In every dairy
state in the Union they-hav whole
some dairy and creamery laws provid-
ing for inspection and supervision of
this important industry, and the con-
illusions arrived at were far fetched
to say the least. "On that basis of
figuring" says Congressman Sloan Of
Nebraska, "the sun spots in their re-
lation to the whole surface of the
great orb of day, would have dis
credited odd Sol as reliable lumin-
airy centuries ago.

The first foreign trade school in
America opened in New York last Sat-
urday. 1t is private enterprise but
is supported by the United States
government, and it is a move in the
right direction. The naturally keen
and able American business man has
been woefully deficient in capturing
foreign trade in the past, and the en-
tire country has been a loser as a
result. A few American concerns
have developed foreign trade systems
that placed them on more than an even
footing with European manufacturers
in bidding for the worlds trade, but
the great American demagogue has
retarded general development along
this line.

The income tax or an inheritance
tax, like other good things of life, is
liable to abuse. In this connection the
following from the Saturday Evening
Post is right to the point:
In the hands of a demagogic, ex-
travagant and incompetent govern
ment graduated inheritance tax
would be as open to objection as a
loaded shotgun in the hands of an
inebriate. The temptation to pillage
large accumulations for waste and for
pork-barrel, soup kitchen and vote
getting schemes is obvious. That
would be worse than any use of a
big fortune an individual heir could
make, for it would involve a wider
corruption.
Big fortunes, it should be remem-
bered, are almost always usefully en-
ployed-that is, they are employed in
the production and distribution of use

A Good Working Team.

AS the time goes by it is becoming
more and more evident that Frank B.
Kellogg Of st. Paul is great favorite
with the people for the high office of
United States senator. Mr.. Kellogg is
we'll equipped to make highly sue
cessful senator. He and Knute Nelson
would make pair Of statesmen from
Minnesota that we could look up to and
feel proud Of. Mr.. Kellogg is not in
very high favor with lot of old hack,
old time politicians but that is in his
favor and not to his discredit.-W Winnie

= In my opinion the greatest problem
in the United States and in the world
is for the governments of the world
to find constant employment for those
who are willing to labor and who are
unable, under the stress of modern
life, to find means by which to live.
For that reason I favor broadly, as a
governmental policy, the finding of
means of employment for the unem-
ployed, so that this government shall
not have within it's borders any man
willing to work who can not feed him
self and feed those who are dependent
upon him.-Senator Owen of Okla
homa. ---.- s-sS.s.
The above rings true. The - man
who is willing and able to work should
never be forced to seek charity. The
building of roads, irrigation plants
and the development Of public enter
prises of all sorts would supply. an
unlimited field Of profitable employ
ment.

A Chicago judge last week ruled
that Lord Bacon was the author of the
immortal works generally attributed
to Shakespeare, but the controversy of
60 years duration over the authorship
is no nearer solution now than ever.
It makes precious little difference who
the authorship is attributed to, as it
can in no wise affect the literary quail
ty Of the productions, and the probable
tiles are that neither Bacon nor
Shakespeare are greatly concerned
over the matter at the present time.

The Forest Products Laboratory at
Madison, Wisconsin,, has been con-
Quoting experiments for the last three
years on the production Of grain alco-
hol, and it is believed that the expert
ments have been so perfected that
vegetable alcohol can be manufactured
at cost sufficiently low SO that it
will be substitute for gasoline APP
proximately for 15c a gallon. Experts
upon the subject claim that the adj
vantages in favor Of alcohol over gas
oline for power purposes are many.

Speaking of the five years since the
series of revolutions in Mexico that
have been such source Of annoyance
to the administration at Washington,
Samuel G. Blythe, the keen and bril-
liant magazine contributor, says
among other things:
It would take a book to tell the
story of that five years, and big
book at that. It has been situation
full of intrigue, mistakes, blunders,
plots by special interests, urgings by
uniformed jingoes, killing of Ameri-
cans to the number of seventy or more,
destroying and confscating of proper
ty, murder, rapine,, incendiarism, fam
inc and prostration. In that five years
Mexico has come to be financial non
entity, with no treasury resources, no
money, no borrowing capacity, a fiat
currency that isn't worth cent. a
pound; with no crops, with no food for
her people, with pestilence and starva-
ton ravaging her rich territory; with
no stable governments land of muir
der, fractional quarrels, with thousands
Of expatriates Of the better class in the
United States-desolate and harrased.
Mexico has been looted by Mexicans
who have posed as patriots, aided by
Americans who have done no posing
but have grabbed the swag. Five Of
six hundred million dollars of invested
American money has been at the
mercy Of the shifting, mercenary al
legged governments and their military
supporters, and the whole situation
has come to chaos.

Carry the news to Frank Day. "Our
Peerless Leader" William Jennings
Bryan, was overwhelmingly defeated
for delegate-at-large to the demo-
cratic national convention in his home
state OF Nebraska. Frank should turn
his gattling gun loose and shoot few
of those Nebraska democrats "before
breakfast" Come to think of it.,
though, Frank is now a cooling pacifist
and is not as belligerently inclined as
he was in 1896, when he said any
democrat who would not vote for the
"Peerless One" should be shot before
being permitted to partake of the
meal.

pearance of having dried up and be-

dressed to senator or representative
in congress, the contents of which re-
late solely to pending or proposed
federal legislation, shall be conveyed

rates entirely? Perhaps the annual
postal deficit would then be great
enough to satisfy the veriest bonehead

That the land-owning American
farmer is a very sick man, suffering
from an acute attack Of "dearth of
credit" is the opinion Of representa-
tive in congress. The great industry
of agriculture produces something like
one-half Of the wealth produced an
nually in this country, and that which
benefits our great farming population,
benefits us all, indirectly if not direct
ly. The American farmer is entitled
to good system of rural credits.

That excellent democratic newspa-

the fractional strife so noticeable in it's

One of Great Britian's leading news
papers, the London Pail Mall Gazette,
in discussing English and American
railways, calls attention to the fact
that the wages of railway employees
are three times as high in the United
States as in England, yet the freight
rates are far lower in this country.
DISQUALIFICATION, duplication of
service and bad management generally
are the causes assigned by the Ga
zette for the poor showing made by
the English railways.
