Essay on a Cow.

A little boy wrote an essay about
COWS and read it in the Connecticut
school society. The essay reads az
follows: "A COW is an animal with
four legs on the under side. The tail
Is no longer than the legs but is not
used to stand on. The COW kills flies
with her tail. 4 COW has Dig ears that
Wiggle on hinges so docs her tail. A
COW is bigger than 4 calf but NOT as
big as an elephant. She is made small

In 1888 the Massachusetts general
court ordered, writer comments,
'that no man shall take any tobacco
within 20 poles of any house, or Sc
near as may endanger the same" In
%19S an act was passed forbidding the
carrying of fire through the streets ex-
cept IN !; covered vessel, smoking, or
having in ones possession "any.Hghted
pipe or Scg;,r" in the streets or on the
wharves. The penalty was 50. If the
offender was in ropewalk, the pen
atty was from IS to 500. This pro-
hibition of 1893 was not repealed until
1880.

THE sTockYARDs MERGER

AS might have been expected when
Attorney General Palmer made his
compromise agreement with the Big
Five meat packers, and thereby avoid
ed indicting them under the criminal
statute for conspiracy in violation of
the Sherman antitrust law, the pack
ers are in no bury to carry out their
part of the bargain. They are playing
for time.
The latest scene in the farce shows
A. Mitchell Palmer telling the packers
that the government can not accept
their scheme of consolidating their
stockyards holdings into one vast ma
tion-wide stockyards monopoly under
the name of F. H. Prince & Co. The
federal trade commission forced his
hand by making a prompt report show
ing that this brazen proposal was
worse than the present conditions.
Weeks and months will be consumed
in framing up another fraud on the
public as to the ownership of the stock
yards. Then Senator Jim Watson will
be in high favor at the White House
and he will arrange a new scheme of
settlement which will ignore any pro-
test which the federal trade commits
sion may offer. Watson is the pack
ers' errand boy in the senate.

HERALD PRAISES FARMERS

Senator Myers has bolted the Demo-
cratic party in Montana because the
NCnpartisan farmers and organized Ia
Dor in that state have won the prilna:::
fight against the Anaconda Copper
company ticket. His denunciatiCn OF
the Democratic party in Montana as
81. w. w. and bolshevism" has been
rejected in toto by the Washington
Herald, organ of Julius Barnes and
Herbert Hoover, on the ground that
the farmer-]ab0r movement is abso-
lutely law-abiding, open, parliamentary
and American in it's methods
This statement in the editorial COL
umns Of the Herald, which has or
former occasions taken issue with the
NOnpartisan farmers movement, is a
good emen of the new understanding
which the East is getting with regard
to the activities of the farmers and or
ganized labor in the Northwest
The intolerant attitude of Myers to-
ward the farmers of Montana gives
away the secret of the general apathy
III connection with the Democratic ma
ticnal campaign. It is not Mr.. Cox
that is an issue in this campaign; it
is the Influences responsible for his
nomination. Myers person1fies those
Influences.
There was a time, and not many
months ago, when Myers was brutally
''rcguI;r' I'm his party allegiance. He
took the position that he would be
willing to confirm the appointment "of
even horsethief, so long as he was
backed by the party" At that moment
he felt sure that the Anaconda would
own the party in Montana for years to
come. Now that the people have driv-
en- the Anaconda gang out of the tenn
pie Of Democracy~he has no more in
terest in the party label. Hence he is
advoca ting the election of Republic
can ticket which carries the corpora
ton brand.
Myers attitude teaches once again
the OLD lesson that there is no such
thing sas political partisanship in big
business.

NEW PEACE WANTED

CONSERVATION in the Republican
camp at the announcement of Senator
Borah that he will devote his attention
exclusively to the election of senators
opposing the Versailles treaty and
league of nations is sincere. The old
guard realizes that it is not being
elected-the voters are merely kicking
out the Democrats. No other issue is
being considered. When the new con-
gress meets Borah and Johnson and
La Toilette will be in a fine position
to lead senate revolt that will make
Harding drop the whole Versailles
mess and call for a new conference
to revise the treaty.
Elements pleased at this turn of
events include the Irish, Italians.
Czechs, Chinese, Egyptians, Koreans,
Hindus and the labor movements of
all countries around the earth. They
want a new conference on the settle
ment Of the terms of peace among the

Enforcement officers are concerned over
efforts through the court to make II
possible for all the holders OF warehouse
certificates to legally withdraw the
holdings represented for personal use.
Such a situation would open wide the
doors OF every warehouse In the coun-
tn, bonded and otherwise, and permit
a free flow OF liquor to the bootlegsers

The question Of property right as rep
resented by whskey warehouse receipts

probable that the issue will be taken
