Tafi's Ridiculous Position.

II cannot be possible that any open
minded citizen will be influenced by Mr.
Taft's desperate endeavors TO make It
appear that the cause Of the League oi
Nations. to which he has long been com
mitted, will be furthered by the election o.
Mr.. Harding. Mr.. Harding has repudlated
Mr.. Taft, and has 'scrapped the League,
as that vicious opponent Of the League,
Senator johnson, expressed it, thereby
gaining the enthusiastic support OF the
California Senator.
Mr.. Taft also has come to grief IN ms
efforts to convict President Wilson OF
seI6shncss in going alone in the work OF
framing the League Covenant, and OF not
onlv not seeking, but actually rejecting,
outside advice. But the record showed
that President Wilson freely avalled hlm-
self Of outside advice, even accepting good
suggestions made by Mr.. Taft.

PRESS COMMENTS.
SENATORIAL MENDACITY.

One of the qualifications Of Republi-
can Senator is n confirmed inability To
state anything honestly or correctly or
fairly if 10 relates to President Wilson.
Even with the stenogaphic text before
him OF the Presidents speech TO the Ser
bian and Roumanian delegates, Senator
Spencer proceeded to distoIt the Pres,-
dents language IN approved Senatorial
style. The President said: "And yet there
undcrlies all of these transactions the
expectations on the part, for example, OF
Roumania and Of Czccho-Slovakia and Of
Serbia that if any covenants of this settle
mcnt are unobservcd the United States
will send her armies and her navies To see
that they are observed"
In his formal reply, Senator Spencer,
by process of shameless suppression,
twists the Presidents words into some
thing that would sustain his own posi-
ton I'm the statement which the fresl-
dent has just issued he says "lf any
covenants of this settlement are not OBJ
served the United States viii send her
armies and navles TO sec that they nre OBJ
served =
'iihis is downright moral dishonesty.
Senator Spencer used 10 be Judge be-
fore he became n Senator. What would he
have done to n lawyer who tried to tamper
with the records of the court as he has
tsmpered with President Wilson speech!

high sugar prices that prevailed In tho
spring, and the effect upon the price Of
their product was such as 20 make il Inn

upon these condensed milk plants, facing
huge losses, determined to conduct their
own business as far as they could, and

The heavy reduction in the exports
Of condensed milk will bring much larger
supply OF butter and cheese to the Eastern
markets The transition, however, is awk-
ward aud difficult, for many Of the butter
makers went ont Of business last year TO
engage in milk condensing when the
foreign sales were ut their height. There is
an element of hazard IN it., for the dairy
men must find a market Immediately or
else slaughter their herds, which would be
calamity.

Rest Horse in the World.

Man O. War, the thoroughbred OF the
Riddle Farms, Just across the Pennsyl-
vania line, has proven himself the great
est racer that ever carried jockey IN his
short-stirruped saddle. He has passed
from the two-year-old racer to the period
of his retirement practically unbeaten.
Indeed, never but once was he headed,
from the drop of the flag to the finish,
and then he was ridden by green Jockey
who should have been Mt work requiring
less skill than plotting racer.
Man o. War has broken every record
for track achievement, and in the Ian
guage of the race course, he was only once
in his career fully extended. lie, IN fact,
had little trouble to shake of his rivals and
win without bringing the full measure OF
his speed into action. lie makes hls part
ing bow to the race track after running
mile and quarter in 2O3, ut Windsor,
Ontario, Tuesday, and defeating the next
best horse by almost eight lengths.
Man o. War is the finest racing machine
Of his kind He is a verltahle whlriwlnd,
and when in action is said TO have all the
clements of gait. stride and wind that
make for racing He has wen for hIs owner
almost half million dollars and probably
would sell at public sale for as much more
for as a sire he is regarded as the best OF the
thoroughbreds and it is hopefully expect
cd he may produce offspring as good as or
even better than himself.
This wonderful racer illustrates how
falhble is the most discriminating ludg-
ment Of the most experienced morse
breeders and trainers, for Man o War, at
public sale rs a ycarhng, was the least
likely Of several of his stall mates, despite
his fine pedigree, and his present owner
Samuel d. Riddle bought him after the
mcst pressing opportunities ct iriend
whose opinion he valued not very highly
but took the chance and picked the world
champion,
Aside from the careful training and
scientific handling he hashad, Man o war
IN construction. internally and externally
stands as the model for thoroughbred ;
he has every Inc TO indicate speed, a
splendid disposition, and wind and heart
