THE PRESIDENT AND CONGRESS

The people who originally claimed
that President Harding was going TO
be the tool of the Senate ''obligarchy ,
whatever that might mean, learned as
soon as he appointed his cabinet that
he was going 10 be his own master.
But lately they have been complaining
because he has failed. as they say, to
force Congress to show sense and en-
act its needed program Of legislation
But this proposition is not so easy
as it looks from outside. A president
does not necessarily get results by de-
claring war on Congress. President
Roosevelt used to hammer Congress
with his big stick. and in the main II
may have deserved his dispieasurs
But this policy seemed to make tne
Congressmen even more obstlnately
determined on their own policies
Each congressman represents the
sentiment of his own home constitu-
ents. If they have quite strong views
on any point, their representatives vii!
be largely governed by them and the
threats from the White House will ac-
compIish nothing. The only way you
can move them is to show them by rea-
son and facts that they are on the
wrong track. This is the way that
President Harding tries to work, and
by which he has already accomplished
MANY remarkable results. He IS a
very patient man. but his patience is
not inexhaustible, and he will assert
himself sufficiently in due time
President Harding has generous
purposes. Anyone can see that it's his
ambition to make this country bet
ter place to live in, for every man,
woman, and child, and he works to-
ward this end all the time. No man
ever occupied the presidents chair
who had warmer human sympathy, or
would do more to open up doors of op-
portunity to all who seem to have a
poor chance in life. He is not the
president of any class, but he is the
servant of the whole public. He is
easily accessible to hear complaints Of
all elements, and will go the limit to
help struggling classes of people at
tain a better chance in life.

COW TESTING
IS LAUDED BY
DAIRY SPEAKER
Prof. Eckles of Minnesota
Addresses Convention
" at Minot.

Minot. N. D.. March 9.-The several
hundred COW testing associations now
in existence show that the Importance
Of dividing the profitable cows from
those which do not make a profit Is
getting home to the practical milk
producer. Prof. G.. H. Eckles of the
dairy department Of the University Of
Minnesota told the members of the
North Dakota Dairymen's association
here today.
The first thing that confronts the
beginner is that of selecting his. COW
that is getting an efficient machine.
And he v gets through with that
question, for the entire herd has to
in every five Years. To maintain thu
herd, for each ten cows on the aver
age two heifers must come into milk
each year: there will be W. yearlings
and two heifers TO be raised.
Cows have to ne selected individ-
ually because they are not all born
alike. Uusing any COW for dairy pur.
poses, merely because she happens tc
he a female Of the bovine species, is
about as sensible as it would be to Sc.
lect the name Of a president by draw.

the names of all the men in the coun.
try.
Under present conditions not NOR
than two out of every three raised are
worth keeping in the herd. With al
lthe advance that has been made il

how to breed all good cows"
Says Inheritance Counts.
"1n the end. we concluded that the

is born that way" declared the speak,

of good producers is more to be de

Eckles' hope is that the present ratio
