The report from Evan ]. Young,
which the report was based. first was
held up for six days and then given
out with an ingenious statement inti-
mating Senator Harding's connection
with the Vanderlip mission. There had
been no effort to obtain from Senator
Harding any confederation of the truth
or falsity of the report, notwithstanding
1t was well understood that the story
had a political suggestion.
The report from Mr., Young was Of

GOVERNOR READY TO
BOOST TEACHERS PAY
Tells Queens Crowds He
Would Make Ne.D Aduunce.

Following Nathan l.. Miller, Repub-
lean nominee for Governor. in q tour of
Queens county, Gov. Smith made two
speeches in the borough last night, in
the course OF which he itinated that II 1t
became necessary lie would stand for
anotl er Increase In the salaries of teach
ers and low paid State workers The
Governor made this declaration in an
sweriDg charges of extravagances made
by his opponent.
Gov. Smith spoke to capacity audi
ences In the Astoria Casino and Public
School No. 49, Ridgewood. He said that
the vast increase In State expenditure
resulted from the action of a Republican
Legislature saying that the Governor
himself can make no appropriation. The
Governor pointed out that the eXpend!-
lures Included s20oo0.o00 to increase
teachers salaries. s13, 100000 for good
roads and S5.0o0.ooo to advance the SAL
aries OF low paid State workers.
At would not take that away" Mr.
Smith said. referring to the teachers
salary increase. 'If there is need for
1t I will stand for another" He also
applied the same assertion to the State
workers.
Turning to welfare legislation. Gov
Smith said his opponent exhibits a
painful lack of understanding on the
whole subject of workmen's compensa-
ton"
There is no delay in making the pay
ments TO injured men and women" he
continued. when the Judge talks about
delay he is merely quoting the argu-
ments of the insurance companies made
when they put through the Republican
Legislature the pernicious direct settle-
ment clause with the help of a Repub-
lican Governor on the plea of facil-
itating the settlements. This gave rise
TO the old time scandals OF private set
Elements between the agents of insur-
ance companies and injured men and
women.
'In the opinion of the Judge the d.
rect settlement Is n matter of unim-
portance / appointed a commissioner
to inquire into the operation OF the d.
rect settlement and in ia cases injured

direct settlements. Investigation brought
about a rehearIng in their cases by the
commission Upon the rehearing they
received s52,279.S4 in addition to what
they were first paid. The average I'M
der payment was $3.50"
Gov. Smith said Mr.. Miller had ac-
cused him of failing to reduce the price
of milk. The Governor charged that this
failure was not due TO himself. but to
the Republican Legislature 'I am sorry
to see n man of Judge Miller's standing
turn demagogue for the purpose of cap
turing a few votes for himself" he
added. Neither he nor any other per-
son can win by appealing to passion
and prejudice"

"Use of Harding's Name
Seems Ludicrous"

Special Despatch TO THE NEW YoRK
HERALD.
ITO THE NEW YORK HER
AID: know nothing of state
ments alleged to have been made
by Vanderlip. He has not yet
reported to any members of the
syndicate here who are inter-
ested in the enterprise and all we
know of the outcome is what we
have seen in the Associated Press
dispatches.
The idea that he has used Har-

use Harding's name seems ludi-
crous to the members of the

The true value of a pure bred ami
NAL cannot be determined by any OK
pert in their ~genealogy, yet the breed
ing Of pure breds is anything but a

of these same types, the quality and
uniformity of the get of these animals.
Ideals in the mind of the breeder.
If this type meets the approval and
support of other breeders, his success
is assured. The worth of an animal
cannot be determined in dollars and
cents. To illustrate this l will take
the COW Mable, that produced so many
dollars in such a short time. Yet
Mable's rise in Shorthorn fame can
better be appreciated when we disect
Mable's family tree, for Mable is but
a branch Of the Violet Bud family and
Mable came by her money making pro-
clivities honestly. About twenty years

Bud family. This Gov produced Mable

on and on through tree and branch,
the Violet Buds have covered the
earth like leaves in autumn. There is
the Emmons branch through Brown,
the Littrell branch through Emmons,
the Simpson branch through Littrell
and on and on. Last year in the four
days sale, twelve Violet Buds were
cashed for approximately $4,000 or
$1,000 per head. On the Emmons
farms there are about twenty head Of
Violet Buds, some through the Cum
mings or Illinois branch, yet all from
the same imported Violet Bud. Pete

to do so all next week if the weather
conditions will permit. Although the
oat crop, under normal conditions, Is
in by the first or the tenth Of April
and farmers were delayed this year
on account of the ~lateness of the sea-
son, they are continuing to plant with
hopes of getting much Of the usual
crop in as possible. According to sew
eral farmers who had "oats" as the
topic Of conversation in this city Sat-
urday, about sixty per cent of the
average crop is in, and by the end of
next week, unless more hard rains
come, that amount will probably be
enlarged to seventy-fve.
Getting the oats in so much later
than normal circumstances require
will make the crop lighter than it
would otherwise have been; for the
warm weather may come and injure it
before it is made. However, under
fairly good conditions from now on,
the estimate is that the crop for the
summer will be perhaps sixty per cent
of the normal.
Wheat is reported to be showing up
much better than it was hoped fer
several weeks ago..
