believing The calves are already go

Of the state have been enlisted and are

boys and girls to buy the heifers, ask
ing only as security an agreement
signed by parent or guardian to act as
sponsor for the youngster who takes
calf. The heifers will be kept year
and then will be sol at public auction,

or the heifers will be kept by those
who receive them on payment Of the

less many good heifers will thus be
placed in communities that would not

Editorial Comment
One Roosevelt Quality.
Boston Herald.)

tBoSton Herald.)
While the Herald is glad that Charles
E. Hughes, rather than Theodore Roose-
welt, is the standard-bearer of the Re-
publican party in the presidential contest.
candor compels the acknowledgment that
Col. Roosevelt possesses some very vim
some qualities. He is, for example con-
stantly doing things which he believes to
be his duty. in apparent disregard Of their
political consequences.
Four years ago the colonel made the
recall of decisions speech at Columbus
before the makers Of new Ohio constitu-
ton, which deprived him Of the support
of Senator Lodge and other conservative
friends. He must have known that it
would. This year. as the campaign was
coming on, he whacked the hyphenates
over the head thereby deeply offending an
influential part of the electorate, and do
ing so with altogether needless severity.
Long-continued attacks on President
Wilson, through many months. left Col.
Roosevelt no other alternative than to
accept and support the candidate of the
Republican convention. Had the colonel
been bent above all else. on becoming the
nominee himself, he would not have taken
a course Of action that was calculated to
burn all the bridges behind him.
Col. Roosevelt is now preparing to lead
a regiment into Mexico, If we have in
tervention just as he undertook the for
nation Of the Rough Riders. for the war
of 1898, at undoubted personal sacrifice.
In fine, he Is always acting and doing so
in response to his impulses and convic-
tons, and in more, disregard Of the poll
teal effects of what he does than any
other man in public life today.

A Bud That Was Nipped.

Senator Gallinger Of New Hampshire,
nipped in the bud a scheme to boost
the salaries Of some of the attorneys
special agents and examiners in the
recently organized federal trade COM
mission. Under the leadership Of
Senator Hollis, a Democrat, a plan was
on foot to raise the pay Of these as
sistants from $4,000 a year to $500,
which would have caused the reduction
Of the small salaried clerks, in order to
get the money to boost these well-p paid
attorneys. Senator Gallinger said: If
larger salaries are given to the lawyers
of the commission, certain other en-
ployes dra wing smaller salaries would
of necessity be dismissed because it is
not proposed to increase the appro-
priation. 1t has been the custom in
this body for senator's to make appeals
for those drawing small salaries and
not for those drawing large salaries,
and 1 was quite surprised to hear the
suggestion made by the mover Of this
amendment" The proposition was
voted down by vote of 40 to IS. and
thus another Democratic economy"
proposition fell by the wayside.
