Fall Publications

Among the fall publications to reach the reviewers table this week, says the Kansas City Times is the Democratic Text Book, issued by the national and congressional committees New York and Chicago price twenty five cents Like all written in collaboration, the work reveals certain weaknesses The style pleasing in chapters shows dis dressing falling off in others, and frequent changes of topic give the whole disjointed effect that can be only confusing reader better plan would have been to issue the work in separate volumes each containing a different subject. This plan followed with great success by Balzac in his "Comede Hu- maine" the only other work which comes to mind that deals with as wide a variety of subjects
 The inconvenience of the arrangement adopted by the authors and publishers of the present work be apparent any reader who undertakes to read it. He finds it impossible to follow the thread of the narrative. Indeed there times when there appears to be no thread. Just as the reader gets interested in the plight of Mexico and begins to won der how it is going work out, the whole story is dropped and brand new list of characters Is intro duced This is style of narration that reminds a certain extent of Wilkie Collins who allowed each character to tell what he knew Statement of Con stable x. Statement of the Nurse Maid What Coachman Saw Evidence Before Coroner. Bu, constituted a system Collins a in the present authors for they utterly fail establish any connection between the phases of the plot as 1t folds Huerta. for instance. although well drawn villain drops completely out of the story long before get the end, and there is trial Instead export trade statement is introduced The figures doubtless interesting and instructive to anyone looking for that kind information. a reader who has worked himself up high pitch of expecta- tion over the crime they disappointing. He looking for the policeman in and make arrest.
 The lack of cooperation between the authors is apparent throughout Champ Clark. who contributes chapter, seems not to have read what had gone before At any rate he pays attention it and proceeds outline plot of his Perhaps it is good plot but the point is 1t doesn't fit in If he had wanted to introduce list of characters should at least have killed off married off old first and not left the reader through life wondering what in the world ever became of them. MT. Bryan has chapter, too and Ollie James, and Martin Glynn. but they all show the fault They fail to coordinate. The book reads just as well backwards forwards, which is a weak in any book. The reader who pays his money to find out what happened isn't going to take kindly to that kind of writing. It isn't fair him.

A Non-Partisan Judiciary

The spirit and intent of the constitution of this state demands that court be strictly non partisan in character That it is desirable for the complexion of this important body to be free from party color is generally admitted and when the Ar- constitution written there practically opposition to this principle In all of the more progressive it has long been recognized that the men chosen for judicial positions should be con- sidered for their probity and intelligence their -mndedness and successful legal experience and last for their politics Not that mans politics is negligible feature of his makeup for in these days have regard those who have political convictions altogether desirable citizens That the judges of supreme may be heartily in accord with the principles and aims of this or that party should objection, but that their nom- ination and election should be made party basis is a matter that demands correction
 In the campaign which preceded the ratification of the constitution of Arizona were told that the supreme court would be n-partsan, and the demo- cratic leaders guaranteed that provision would be made in the election laws to secure that end. This intent wholly ignored by the first state legs- lature when passed the primary law which requires that candidates for this high office shall be nom mated in the closed party primary The arguments are many and obvious against this method that there should be general appeal to the legs- lature for enactment which will provide for means of nomination which will not only permit each exercise unrestricted choice but will allow candidate receive the unrestricted support which he may justly be entitled. This may be accom- plshed by the use of special ballot or by printing the names. either with or without their party designa- tion of all the candidates for the udgeship all of the regular party ballots. At present distinction is made in the matter of nomination between didate for the judiciary for the legislature. and this coupled with the lack of interest in the primaries they at present conducted, creates oppor- tunty for minority rule the very thing which the direct primary devised to prevent At this mo- ment not concerned with the political affila- tIons of the gentlemen who form supreme court neither with those of the candidates for the judgeship We do feel. however, that right when the methods and results of the primary still fresh in minds that discussion of the question is opportune and that for the candidates the legis lature to put themselves plainly record this question is important.

SHOWING LIVESTOCK
 AT AlL THE FAIRS

It is important that every breeder of improved stock show his animals at both county and state fairs. AL though the expense of showing may be considerable, yet this is the best way to keep up to date in business. 10 effect improvement, and also ad- vertise your animals. The show ring is the years measure which is used to compare the relative merits of the animals owned by the different breeders.
 Selecting Animals
 One requires several years of ex- perience to enable him to select the best animals in his herd for the show ing. Commence as early as August to prepare for the gate fair which comes in November. Select the best animals you have, and if there is any question about this choice it is all ways wise to include all the animals that may develop into proper show form. sThs is especially true of grow Ing animals. for one cannot tell with certainty ho wthey may develop with age.
 Feeding Animals
 Livestock intended for shows should be fed a well balanced ration over a sufficiently long period to make them fat and sleek, at show times. This is called bloom in the show ring. Many of the most fancy animals are kept in roomy box stalls during the day in the warm weather, but are turned out at night for exercise and some grass. A pasture field consisting of mixed al- falfa and Bermuda grass would be splendid for this purpose. Nothing is better than oats for any kind of live stock, and a mixture of oats. corn and barley in equal proportions should prove satisfactory. This should be ground finely and the animals fed three times day. Roughage may consist Of alfalfa hay. silage. Sudan grass and other folders. One of the secrets of

making bloom" on animals is to give them a great variety of feed as possi- ble, and feed them often. Most of the winning animals at the best fairs are fed four or five times a day.
 Training
 It is always a mistake to show ami mals that have not been properly trained. This may easily be done by taking a little time each day to get the animals to stand properly and go where directed. This work is an art, and it requires considerable experience to make an animal show to the best advantage. Before show time the ani mals will require considerable exercise and this may be had by leading, which will also l!c,p to train the animals to respond to guidance with grace-Dr. R. Williams, animal husbandman, Uni versity of Arizona Agricultural Experi- ment Station.

SchooIs and Taxes

Just four years ago when the fine s2O0.O0O High School plant completed many felt that pro- vision had been made for at least ten years growth. How their ideas fell short of what has occurred Is matter of knowledge, least to those who at all in touch with school matters. Last year at the beginning of the third term, classroom space had been outgrown and for a time least special classes were held in the little ante-rooms leading to the fire-escapes Right it is ques- tion whether there will be enough to allot to each teacher and plans being made for the of residences in the neghborhood of the High School for classroom purposes.

THE REAL POINT

The other day acting police judge in Louisville turned loose prisoner who had killed another The Judges plea was that the killing justified by the unwritten law" "I am a Kentuckian" boast ed this judge and uphold the unwrtten law"
 T am a judge would have been better avowal, and therefore uphold the written law"
 It is mmaterial what individual opinions a may hold a Kentuckan: when he goes on the bench he goes as a judge sworn to uphold the law it is written.
 kentuckians who justify Judge Reedys action in this case should bear in mind important distinc tion The real point which should be decisive whether that action should be approved disap- proved is not whether the unwrtten law Is sound, but whether judge whose duty Is to enforce the written law, and who perform that duty is justified in ignoring the written law uphold the unwritten.-Lousve Courier Journal.
