THE FOUR-pOwER PACT.

There appears to be considerable OPP
position developing in the senate to
ratification of the fOur-power treaty
agreed upon at the arms conference
and if the required two-thirds majority
is to be secured some work seems to be
necessary. a very large majority OF
republican senators favor it, but many
democratic votes are necessary to Sc
cure ratification and some of the demo-
cratic senators are prone to play poll
tics to get even with some OF the repub-
licans for the defeat of the league Of
nations covenant. People who favor
ratifica ton ought to let their senators
know their attitude, as public opinion.
if expressed, is going to have consider
able Influence. Democratic senators will
not go against strong public sentiment
in their states if they know what that
sentiment is. But they are apt to con-
ton. 1t therefore behooves those favor
ing ratification to make some noise be-
fore it is too late. A recent Washing
ton dispatch puts the case in Il nut
shell when it says:
IF the country continues to be so
overwhelmingly favorable to the treaty
that it would be disposed to show re-
sentiment against any formal party ac-
ton against ratification. the Democrats
will avoid mourning that odium. The
factor that will determine the question
will be the crystalzation of public
opinion. 1t must be said that on any
question of foreign relations it is cas-
Ter to arouse public opinion in oppose

arouse suspicion over Il small. objection
than to achieve clear popular under

KEEPING HISTORY STRAIGHT.

In the course of Il three column ar
ticle dealing with the career OF Senator
w. S. Kenyon, Il Des MOines newspaper
Of recent date publishes Il very large
number of errors. Along with the
others is the following:
when death brought an untimely
end to Senator Jonathan +. Delivers
career, there probably was only one
man in the state who thought Of Mr..
Kenyon as his successOr-and that was
his old college roommate, Charlie Raw
son. He said nothing about it-just
started pussy footing" to land the
prize for his friend
The Freeman-Journal happens TO
know that Charlie RawSon was not the
man who first suggested tne name OF
Judge w. S. Kenyon as the successor to
Doliver 1t knows absolutely that the
credit belongs to a Tenth district man
and that q Tenth district newspaper, on
the day following the funeral Of Sena-
tor Dolliver, drought OUT Judge Ken
yOn as candidate to succeed Dolli-
yer. The Freeman-JOurnala also kOnws
that it was some job to convince Ken-
yon that he was the logical man for
the place and that it was with consid-
cradle reluctance that he consented to
make the contest.
During this stage of Kenyon's candi-
dacy Charlie Rawson had not been
heard from and the Kenyon boom was
well Oh the road to popularity before
"nis old college room-mate' climbed
into the bandwagon. True, Rawson
took the lines as soon as the vehicle
ga ined momentum, but he was not the
man that started the old caravan on it's
road to success, the assertions of the
Des MOines paper or any other author
ity to the contrary Notwithstanding.
After the Kenyon boom was well
under way Mr.. Rawson rendered yeo-
man service and is entitled to a large
share of the credit for victory. but he
was not the original Kenyon man by
a long shot.

When Fed to the

LAMBS PAY

Corn. when fed to live stock under
the present market conditions, will
bring the farmer prices ranging be-
tween $325 per bushcl and a cents per
rushel. Recent Investigations conduct
'td by the animal husbandry section OF
the Iowa Agricultural station show this
conclusively.
Lambs, weighing 60 pounds, were put
on ration consisting largely OF corn
and were marketed when they reached
Il weight of So pounds. When the pro-
'duction and marketing costs were de-
Quoted it was found that the corn con-
sumcd had been paid for at the rate
of $3.25 per bushel.
As to Hogs.
Hogs, fed ii ration of corn. made 100
pounds gain. On checking the return
for the corn used. it was found that
the swine had paid for the corn ut the
rate of $1.3S5 per bushcl.
Steers, in making a gain of Ego
pounds each or Il dairy gain OF three
Ounds each from a large percentage
corn ration, paid for the corn at the
rate of a cents per bushcl. Besides
the price for the corn considerable
manure, valued at $3.50 per ton, was
left which was not counted.
Dairy Cattle.
Dairy cattle producing only an aver
age production of milk returned 81
cents per bushel for the corn in their
ration. With cows making greater
production on the same amount OF feed
the relative increase in the price of
the corn would have been proportion
ntcly greater.
These figures. say the animal hns-
bandrymcn. represent the actual return
fer the corn alone. as other charges
fcr the balance of the rations were de-
Guctcd. The costs of marketing and
raising the animals was considered
carefully so there would be no chance
to attribute the prices to other factors.
The animals were sold OH the Chica so
markets, the lambs bringing SIG per
hundred pounds. the hogs $40 per hun
dred and the steers $S.75 per hundred.
Butterfat from the dairy cows was sold
at 30 cents per- pound and the skim
milk was credited at 80 cents per
hundred pounds. all prices being typi-
cal of the corn belt at present.

Hundreds of men called upon the

has been able to learn, that he was 60
ing to appoint Il northern Iowa man,
and that he was searching for one who

mary and the election. Then in the

selected a citizen of Des MOines who
