BILL WHITES ANALYSIS

note that my fat friend, Will
liam Allen White, in a column ar
ticle in the Chicago Tribune, at
tempts to analyze the political sit
uation and show why 1t turned out
as it did. Boiled down Bills con-
clusion is this: The Republican par
ty made a fatal mistake in not nom
mating Roosevelt instead of Hughes,
Bill has the remarkable faculty OF
dishing up political flubdub and fool
ishness and clothing it in language
that on casual reading, makes it ap-
pear like rather profound wisdom.
What beat Hughes was the fact
that there was entirely too much
Roosevelt in the campaign. There
were literally hundreds, of thousands
of Republicans who voted for Wilson
because they feared that If Hughes
should be elected he would follow the
lead of Roosevelt. There were other
hundreds of thousands of Republic
cans who voted for Hughes because
they had confidence that he would,
IL elected, run his own administration
and not permit Roosevelt or any one
else to dictate to him, who would
have voted against him If they had
really believed that he would follow
the lead of Roosevelt.
Roosevelt made one of his speeches
in Battle Creek, Mich. 1t was great
meeting in point of numbers and
there was good deal of "hooraw-
ing" am told. Battle Creek and
the country in which it is located are
Republican strongholds. Michigan is
a Republican state, but when the
votes we're counted II was found that
Wilson had carried the city and coun-
ty by LOO majority over Hughes,

THE SONG OF THE HEN

Listen for the cackle of your hen.
1t has money value to you.
The winter season is approaching
when the price of eggs will advance
and the cackle will become of even
greater significance to you.
Plan for the cackle, feed the hens
in accordance with the demands of
nature as propounded by the experts
who have spent their life in the work.
If the cackle is not heard with suf-
ficient frequency ask yourself why.
Dig down and study the subject, for
the more you study the oftener the
hen will cackle and cackling means
more eggs and bigger bank ac-
count. 1t is the law of nature that
hen should lay, and cackle. She
should lay often and do much cack-
ling, for that, too, is natures law.
But she will not lay unless she re-
ceives proper food and care, and
therein lies the wisdom of the man
who thinks before he acts.
Get hold of some good literature,
read up on the subject of egg pro-
duction, apply the knowledge you
thus obtain and in the end you will
learn to experience a keen delight in
every cackle of your hens.
Your hen wants to cackleLshe
will cackle il you give her chance.
And there's money in the cackle of
hen.---Colorado Agricultural Col
lege.

CHANGE IN THE INDIAN

That the passion for efficiency is
far-reaching is indicated by a little
preachment" made in the Carlisle
Arrow, published by the students OF
the famous Indian school. by the SUI
perintendent Of the institution. He
tells his charges that for whatever
occupation they plan to equip them
selves, preparation must be of the
most intensely thorough kind. He
urges that the housekeeper and the
farmer take no less pains in their
training than the teacherSor the me-
chanic. "You will be prepared" he
adds, ito do good not only for your
selves but for others; we cannot find

Bert Miller, editor of the two leading
daily papers here, tells me privately
that it is his opinion that the speech
of Roosevelt contributed largely to
the result

Roosevelt had been nominated al

have been elected. My own opinion
is that If Roosevelt had been nomin-

ably larger than it was. In. Kansas
I feel certain that instead of ma
jority of more than 10000 as he has
now, Wilson would have had a ma
jority of $4,000 or $4,000.
Evidently there were many thou
sands of Republicans in Kansas who
voted for Wilson, not because they
were opposed to Hughes personally
or because they thought the stand
pat element of the party would con-
troll his administration, but because
they wanted to show their opposition
to- the military preparedness talk of
Roosevelt, which Hughes seemed to
approve. These voters are not salts
fed with Wilson, but they decided
that to vote against him would be to
vote for settled military'policy, uni

advice for almost any young white
