newspapers that have pointed out the
danger of this tendency, and is still
fighting it, despite misunderstanding
and, in some instances, misrepresenta-
ton.
In lifting his voice against CEN
tralization of power, against the SUR
render of local self determination,
Attorney General Barrett is render
ing valuable public service. 1t is 9
service in which all our State and
Federal officers ought to enlist-and
not only by way of speech, but by
official conduct. The people cannot
be excused or forgiven for surrender
ing their independence because they
have become wearied of the impor-
tunity OF agitators or zealots or be-
cause they have been misled into be-
lieving that specious formulae, If
written on the status books, would
yield magical results. But If that is
poor excuse for people engrossed
with their days work, what possible
excuse can be offered for public serv-
ants the men we send to State Legis-
latures and to Congress- yielding
to this folly and translating it into So
called law? Their treachery is inde-
fensible.
Local self-government, the right OF
the people to manage their own af-
fairs, is the heart. OF democracy.
When that right is destroyed the
heart of democracy must cease to
beat. We all know the utterly de
moralizing effect that dependency up
on another has on the individual By
| what process of reasoning, pray, car
anyone conclude that the same cause
willnot have the same effect on the
community? The community can be
panperized in civic sense as surely as
the individual in an economic sense.
That this degradation is now under
mining American democracy admits
of no doubt. 1t must be checked
more than that, there must be SHARP
turnabout face-if we are to escape
the fate of other civilizations which
Attorney General Barrett cited al
classic examples.
A people may gain Its freedom, sale
Rousseau, but once it losses its liberty
1t can never regain it. The indispens.
able quality has been destroyed by
the infection of degeneracy.
Eternal vigilance is the price o
liberty. We cannot enjoy that bless
ing except by paying that price. II VT
default in such payment the alterna
tive is State Despotism.

missouri State Journal. J

missouri State Journal.)
Before another issue of this paper
reaches its readers the extraordinary
session of the Missouri General AS
sembly will, in all probability, have
passed intoN the just opprobrium Of
impartial history. 1t has been an ex
traordinary session in many respects;
in vastly more than the legal and
constitutional sense of the term.
Ignorantly or maliciously, it has
made mess about everything it has
attempted. No fortuitous concourse
of political atoms assembled by the
wand of chance from the isles of the
seven seas could possibly have shown
more complete ignorance of the
legislative needs of this State or a
more wanton disregard of the public
welfare.
1t has increased by three quarters
OF million the appropriations of the
most extravagant legislature in the
entire history of the State.
1t has renewed the assault upon the
impartial judiciary of the State by
another infamous gerrymsnder of the
judicial circuits, and to forestall the
operation of the referendum 1t has
solemnly declared that the measure is
in the interest of the public health!
Tt has given serious and solemn
consideration to the silly proposal OF
the Governor to amend the capitol
bond tax, in open defiance of the ex-
press language of the constitution oi
| Missouri.
1t has maintained, at the public ex-
pense, a mob of useless clerks and
employees, composed, for the most
part, of the families of the members
of the House and Senate, who have
rendered little or no service to the
State, and who have been kept on the
payroll for the sole purpose Of in.

"The counties are constantly ask.

officials in everything they do" he
said. "For instance, they want a
limit on their right to levy taxes be-
cause they do not trust the local of
ficials. They want special prosecutors
sent to try their criminal cases. They
want outside regulation of virtually
every power which q county officer
ought to exercise" The inevitable
result, he declared, must be the dis
appearance of local self-government
in vast and necessarily inc ompetent
Capitalization of power in the State.

Derivation of "EIannel.n

Some of the earlier philologlsts
claim that the word "fannel" was
originally written and pronounced
"flannen." and that 1t was essentially
of Welsh origin, being derived from
the Welsh "gwlanan," wool, but this
derivation is considered doubtful by
more modern photographers, who re-
gard its derivation from the Danish
"fanel," old French "flanelle," or the
Italian ''flanella," as more probable.

Factors Which Influence the
Marketing Of Alfalfa Hay

wide range in tension. According to
the department marketing special
isis hay should be pressed sufficiently
tight that the wires Will hold well,
and SO tat the required weights Cali
be ;,ndad into he cars. Difficulty is
experienced in some sections in load
ing cars TO tie minimum weight,
because the hay is pressed too loosely
some producers and shippers assert
that # the hay is pressed more com
pactly it will heat and mold This
will not occur, however, il the hay is
properly cured. as is proved conclus-
lively by the practice in the Pacific
coast markets OF COMPRISING alfalfa
into bales containing cubic feet and
weighing about % pounds.
Aside from these Things. the size
and weight OF the bale should be made
to conform as nearly as possible with
the ideas OF the buyers. There may
be several reasons why a buyer pre-
fers a particular sized bale. Storage
space, convenience in handling, econ
omy in feeding. and precedence are
some of the factors usually consider
ed by the buyer when determining his
preference as to the size and weight.
Preference for any particular size of
tale usually prevails over a consid-
erabie territory. Generally speak
ing, New England and the principal
large eastern markets, together with
the Pacific coast markets, prefer the
large bale The central western mar
kets prefer the medium bale and the
The Ordway new era., 1921-07-29

southern aud southwestern markets
prefer the small bale.
The character OF the Inspection ser
vice varies considerably in different
markets Besides the various meth
cds now generally designated as ware
house, car-door, plug, and bale in
spection, there is difference in ap-
plying the grades. Some inspectors
give the entire car load the grade of
the poorest quality of hay found in. 1t.
Other inspectors endeavor to apply
the average grade.
Some of these practices are hardly
fair to the shipper. but SO long as they
exist the shipper must meet the stu
alton in the best manner possible
Uniform loading is probably one OF
the most important methods Of OBJ
tanning Satisfactory grades.
In some sections the alfalfa mead
ows are allowed to stand until they
contain large quantity OF weeds and
grass. In other sections other grass
es are sown with the alfalfa for hay.
When loading any mixture the great
est care should be exercised to have
the hay loaded into any one car all Of
the same degree of mixture. This
suggestion applies also to hay of diff
ferent quality because of bleaching or
damage Bleached hay is given at
present n lower commercial grade
than hay which is not bleached, not
withstanding the fact that some pro-
ducers and consumers of alfalfa are
of the opinion that slight bleaching
does not damage the feeding value of
the hay.
Many shippers make the mistake of
thinking that a few bales of on
grade hay will not hurt the grade of
car but will be accepted along with
the good hay or at only small dis
count. Unless the market is very
strong the hay usually will be &C
cepted only at heavy discount. and
frequently the whole car will be re-
iected. II the car is accepted it will
be taken only at the price value Of the
poorest hay found in the car
