The Race Question.

The House of Representatives took
the race question into a recent dis
cuSsion, and after the Southern mem
bers had touched on everything from
the marriage of Jack Johnson to a
white woman to the alleged habit of
Northern members in opposing anti
Negro legislation because of coIored
voters in Northern districts, Speaker
Clark arose and in his basso-profundo
voice spoke for Southern Democrats,
and declared that the Northern Re-
publicans who had their political
fences to look after did not have the
world by the tail as yet" He added
that the race question was as CID as
the flood but declared that it was be-
ing worked out by the individual COM
munities and the state. He thought
that it was as useless to discuss the
subject as the mystery regarding who
hit Billy Patterson; or who was the
man in the iron mask. Of course
everybody agrees with the Speaker,
and large part of the membership of
Congress feel that there is not enough
discrimination against the Negroes
Mr.. Clark's expressions are pretty
good examples of craftsmanship.

WHO MIR. JEFFRIS is.

Malcolm George Jeffris was born
August Is, 1862, on a farm in the
town of GAINESVILLE, few miles from
the city. His father, David Jeffris
was native of Kentucky, who had
come to Wisconsin several years previ-
Gus, and his mother was Grace Mouat,
the daughter of a Scottish pioneer who
had settled in Rock county about the
same time as Mr.. Jeffris, senior.
Mr.. Jeffris received the early school
ing of a country boy and at thirteen
was forced to relinquish his studies
and begin lifes battle. His educa-
ton has all been self-taught, and the
day he was twenty-one he was ad-
mitted to the bar for the practice of
law, and the same day become junior
member of the firm of Winans, Fethers
& Jeffris.
The two senior members of the firm
were prominent legal practitioners,
and Mr.. Jeffris, during his thirty
three years practice has enjoyed one
of the largest law practices in south
ern Wisconsin. He has always taken
a prominent part in Republican
politics, has been an active speaker in
many campaigns, but has never been
candidate or held office of a politi-
cal nature.
He was married on January %,
1885. to Miss Nancy Roys, and three
children, Malcolm r. Jeffris of Jeffris,
Wis, Mrs. P. j. E. Woods of Forsythe
Mont, and Rufus Jeffris, a student
blessed this union.
Mr.. Jeffris has presided at two
Republican state central conventions,
and as a public speaker in campaigns
has been much in demand, both in ma
tional and state affairs.

Sugar Refiners Lose Fight.

With the adoption by the Senate of
the Kitchin bill, which provides for
the unconditional repeal OF the free
sugar provision Of the Underwood
tariff law, the seaboard refners have
suffered a decisive defeat in their
long draWn-out battle to put sugar on
the free list. Defeat came when vic
tory was almost theirs, as on May J.,
fOreign-grown sugar would have auto
matically entered the United States
duty free. The campaign for free
sugar which has been carried on, in
and out of Congress, for the past
six years, was financed throughout by
the refiners. Before Congress it was
perhaps the most bitterly fought meas
ure in the history of tariff legisla-
ton, as the domestic sugar producers
facing the destruction of their bust
ness in the event Of free sugar, ag-
gressiveIy opposed the attack being
made upon this home-industry, but
the refiners won and free sugar was
incorporated into the Underwood bill
becoming operative May / of this
year Free sugar meant two things
to the refners: The destruction OF
The domestic beet sugar industry
whose increasing competition each
season was eating into their markets
and profits, and the securing of their
raw material, at a lower cost from
both domestic and foreign sources.
The Watertown weekly leader. [volume] (Watertown, Jefferson County, Wis.) 1912-1917, 1916-05-02
Sugar Revenue Needed.

The plans of the refiners to make
free sugar an asset to their business
were cleverly laid and smoothly car
ried out, and probably but for one
unforeseen and unexpected world-event
would have come to pass. The Euro
pean war upset the frying-pan in
which their fish were frying The 49,
millions or more revenue that was
coming into the treasury annually
from sugar duties could not be spared
under the changed conditions that
had arisen since the war broke out.
The repeal of the free sugar law was
brought about as a result of a per-
sonal appeal to Congress from the ad-
ministratiOn to retain this needed in
come. Both the House and Senate
have needed the request, and the re-
fners have lost their long sought
prize when it was almost within
reach. Of great Importance is the
fact that in their defeat, a great
American industry, in which 400 mil
lion dollars of American money is in
vested-the production of sugar from
American soil-has been saved

AS TO "BIGOTRY."

Years ago it was we'll known in
political circles that Col. Roosevelt
did not like Charles E. Hughes per-
sOnally.
The then governor OF New York and
fearless sweeper of the Augean
stables of life insurance company
abuses was an intractabIe man in
politics and a commanding figure in
the colonel's own state, qualities not
likely to commend any man to the
favor of the colonel
But it is difficult to credit the cur
rent story that Col. Roosevelt is so
cherishing an old petty spit at this
late day as to sheer at Justice Hughes
as Baptist bigot'
Justice Hughes preference among
the Christian denominations is no
bOdy's business but his own, and no
man is big enough to disparage the
sincere religious convictions of any
other man.
AS for the ill-chosen epithet "bigot,"
Col. Roosevelt may be referred, as
crushing rejoinder, to the following
beautiful definition of Christianity
once penned by Justice Hughes:
To have courage without pugnacity,
to have conviction without bigotry,
to have charity without condescension,
to have faith without credulity, to have
love of humanity without mere senti-
mentality, to have meekness with
power and emotion with sanity-that
is Christianity.
Theological dogma aside, can Col.
Roosevelt suggest a finer, broader
and more comprehensive definition
than that, or one less open to the
charge of denominational bigotry?-

Nervousness of the Riggs.

The Riggs National Bank of Wash
ington is seeking to force a settlement
of its difficulties with the government
through the courts, and in the pro-
ceedings it frankly admits that it has
a fear that the controller of the cur
rency will refuse to renew the char
ter of the bank on July l. Some of
the officials of the bank are under in
dictment, charged with perjury. The
whole affair reminds one OF the antics
that frequently take place in small
towns and counties wherein a change
OF officials brings along with it new
favorites TO whom is assigned the
pleasant part of caring for the public
funds
The Riggs National bank has been
regarded as the back door to Wall
Street for a number of years, since
it has open alliance with the National
City bank of New York, which in turn
connects up with the Standard Oil
company, which in turn, turns, etc.
ct cetera. In the natural course of
human events it necessarily follows
that new and more progressive bank
ers have secured the inside track with
Uncle Sam. One morning, about
three years ago, the arrogant Riggs

arrangements were made to assure
success.
Speakers were selected who will
be pastors from the district, besides
other church dignitaries who will be
present from Ohio.
New gasoline lamps, of a powerful

Mr.. JEFFRIS.

Malcolm George Jeffris received
the Endorsement of the Republican
convention in Madison, as indicated
exclusively in THE LEADER Wednesday
evening.
There is no excuse for the voters OF
Wisconsin not expressing their sent1-
ments as to who they want to repre-
sent them in the National Senate.
Mr.. Jeffris stands for everything
that Mr. La Toilette does not indorse.
Mr.. La Toilette advocates theories
which are at varience with Mr..
Jeffris
The coming campaign will not be
one of a mere choice of men with
policies on a parity. 1t will be
saturated with policy, and men are
secondary.
At this writing the indications are
that Mr. Jeffris will be the larger of
the two men when the votes are count
ed. and Mr.. La Toilette will be retired
to private life.
And why not?
The people have a right to expect
their United States Senator to occupy
his seat when Congress is in session
and not be galavanting all over the
country patching political fences.
Then some people hold the Repub-
lican party responsible for our senior
Senator's acts, and they expect and
demand value received.
These same people expect Repub-
lican to be a Republican, and not
stroll off into the by-ways of Demo
cracy and Social-Democracy.
These same people are justified in
complaining of free trade or low
tariff votes being cast by Wisconsin
senior Senator, to say nothing of the
part he had by causing dissentions
which assisted in decorating the other
senatorial seat with that which some
irreverently term a "billican."
The time is ripe for a change for the
better and that change can come only
by the selection of Malcolm George
Jeffris

At the University, chicks are given
sour skim milk in a small metal dish
when they are twenty-four hours old.
This is kept before them until they
are about seventy-two hours old,
when they are given good, sweet chick
feed in litter of chopped
Methods clover or alfalfa. This

Little over the litter at least
Chicks. five times day, pains be-
ing taken to have the
chicks out from under the hover to
see the feed when it falls. The follow
ing day, and the day after, they are
given light feed of moist mash made
up Of equal parts of corn meal, rolled
oats, bran, and middlings. This is
moistened with sour milk Any mash
that is not eaten after fifteen or
twenty minutes is removed. This
method of feeding is continued until
the chicks are three weeks old when
the rolled oats are gradually dropped
from the ration. At about this time
whole wheat and medium cracked
corn is added to the chick feed. The
amount of cracked corn and wheat
is increased as rapidly as the chicks
learn to eat it. AS soon as the chicks
show d willingness to eat the coarseI
feed the fine feed is omitted.
Where one is raising only few
chicks and is obliged to buy his sup
plies, it is often more desirable to use
a coarse chick feed which comes ready
made in the correct size. Ordinarily
the scratch feed is fed in the litter al
least five times a day. When the
chicks are two weeks old, small
hopper is filled with a mash of two
parts ground corn, two of bran anG
one of middlings. Another hopper is
also placed in the pen which contains
meat scrap of a good grade. The
chicks are given access to this feed al

always before them

corn, and ground barley with coarse
bulls sifted OUT twice daily. Give
milk, green feed, grit, water, and
charcoal as recommended in Univer-
sity ration
There are many combinations of
feeds that can be made which will be
found satisfactory. The price and
ease with which the feeds can be Sc
cured should determine the one to
USE For very small chicks, expensive
feeds can be used that would not be
profitable to feed to larger chicks.
Likewise, in raising chicks in small
yards or early in the season, it will
be found necessary to give greater
variety than when they are raised on a
range where they can find much OF
their feed
Another method of feeding that has
proved satisfactory is to feed the
scratch feed in quantities in a deep
litter. Good results can be obtained
| by mixing a pailful or less Of scratch
feed in a deep litter of chopped clover
or alfalfa on the feeding floor of the
colony house. The chicks work out
the feed as they want it. By the time
the scratch feed is gone from the lit
ter, other feed is added. The danger
in this method is that in damp weather
the litter sometimes becomes musty
and is not discarded because the feeder
hates to throw away the grain that is
in the litter The grain being in the
litter for long time is more likely tC
become musty 1t is a method, how
ever, which is often used with sue
! cess if proper precautions are taken.
