ing pan-American relations, which
cropped up during the Pan-American
Commercial Conference in Washington
this week, Is the proposal that the
United States ought to create an ex-
ecutive department of Latin American
affairs, to be presided over by it's own
cabinet officer. Men from our sister
republics to the south point out that
the vast importance of the United
States interest in Latin America am
ply justifies such departure. AT pres
ent we possess nothing but q social
ed Latin American division in the
State Department, headed by chief
who is always a subordinate young
officer of the foreign service. With the
United States growing concern in af-
fairs throughout the world, it would
not seem illogical to set up Gov
ernment department to deal exclusive
ly with our relations in the West
ern Hemisphere. The Pan-American
Union at Washington fulfills in many
respects the functions of Govern
ment department, but it is without
official status and, as its name i'm
plies, is not purely United States
institution. It's indefatigable director
general, DR.. Leo S. Rowe, would be
Uncle Sans natural secretary for
pan-American affairs-which he prac-
tically is today.
Washington is entertaining another
Democratic presidential possibility
this week in the person of Edwin IT,
Meredith of Des Moines, the last Sec
retary Of Agriculture in the Wilson
administration. The Iowa farm editor
is constantly mentioned as an ideal
compromise candidate, in the event
that neither Smith nor McAdoo forces
succeed in putting their man over.
Meredith is Protestant, dry, a
Middle Westerner, a farm leader and
nationally known and liked. He quail
fies ideally from the standpoint of
age, being youngster of so. Iowa
is sure to put Meredith forward as
her favorite son when the Democrats
assemble for their next national dis
Sension.
Old friends in the diplomatic set at
Washington have just heard with re-
gret of the death in London of one
time we'll known and popular Russian,
Constantine Nabokoff, on duty here
in pre.war years. M. Nabokoff was
counselor of the Imperial Russian
embassy under Baron Rosen ana was
widely esteemed. During the war he
was charge daffaires for Russia in
London. Like many distinguished Rus
slams of Czarist days. Nabokoff fell
upon evil times, and is believed TO
have spent the closing months OF his
life in something approaching power
ty, although a man of unusual charm
and ability. Nabokoff loved the Vir-
ginia countryside and often expressed
a wish to live and die near Warrenton.

KINcMAKERs ARE BUSY

With the positive refusal of CALVIN Coolidge
to be candidate for the Republican nomination
for President in 1928 the politicians are at sea.
Former Governor of Illinois Lowden, Vice Presi-
dent Dawes, also of Illinois; Speaker Nick Long
worth of Ohio, son-in-law of the late President
Roosevelt and Herbert Hoover of California, Sec
rotary of Commerce, appear to be the outstanding
candidates.
Mr. Lowden is one of the wealthy men of the
country Much of this wealth was married as Mrs.
Lowden was one of the daughters of Mr.. Pullman
of sleeping car fame. He is also gentleman farm
er and rendered satisfactory service as Governor OF
illinois, Mr.. Dawes is banker, something of
scrapper, and he will not allow Mr.. Lowden to
walk off with the delegation from that state with
out vigorous protest
Mr. Longworth will have nasty fight to con-
troll Ohio because of the jealousy of the United
States Senators.

in prominent public notice when he handled the
food situation under President Wilson during the
World War is also prominent candidate AS sec
rotary of Commerce he has demonstrated rare ex-
ecutive ability and would make a strong President
Mr.. Hoover is of MEANS but very
poor politician. He will be strong with the women
voters of the country and if nominated could easily
defeat any man whom the Democratic party might
nominate.

TOO MANY TIMID FRIENDS

Some of the admiring friends of Gov
Christensen insinuate that this great family
journal is trying to urge the genial chief ex-
ecutive into the senatorial race, as a way OF
getting rid of him." coupling this with the
statement that "Shipstead is hard man to
beat"
Such timidity on the part of the Christian
son boosters is painful.
Minnesota as a Republican state should
have Republican United States senator to
uphold the hands of the administration, and
to correctly represent the views of the ma
jority of the people.
of strength, and for that reason the Republi-
can candidate should be its most popular rep
resentative.
If getting rid of man is to send him to the
United States senate is correct, the Journal
Press might plead guilty-but that is Chris
tianson's ambition, and now is the time to make
the fight.
The more popular the opponent the great
er victory for the winner.
AS the Mankato Free Press points out
popularity is tickle. Two years hence Ted
might not be in as much favor with the voters
as at present.
If Christensen makes the run, and is de-
feated he will owe that defeat largely to the
alleged friends who are urging him to keep
out and wait for weaker opponent,
Lindbergh is popular because he took
chance.
We are confident that Christianson can be
elected United States senator against Ship
stead or any other man-if he has the nerve
to make the fight.
His petting friends are adding to Ship
stead's prestige.
Why advertise Minnesota's republican
governor as man afraid to take a fighting
chance, with the odds in his favor? -St. Cloud
Journal-Press.
The Herald fully agrees with the Journal
Press Gov Christensen should make the Sen
atorial race in 1928, as he is the one man in the
state who can defeat Senator Shipstead.
Arthur Nelson, former mayor of st. Paul
has hankerin to get into the race, It's said
Mr.. Nelson is a splendid gentleman and woul

Agricultural Notes
Third Carload Baby
Beef Contest Started

Third Carl0Ad Baby
Beef Contest Started
Thirty-six farmers or farming
companies from IA counties have
signed UP for the third annual
Minnesota carload baby beef con-
test. This is an incrase of nine in
the number of entries over the sec
ond year, results of which. are now
being summarized by w. E. Nor.
ris, who represents the agricultur-
al extension service of the univer-
sity in carrying on the project !.
Premiums for the feeders produc-
ing the heaviest loads are financed
by the Minnesota Livestock Breed
ers' association, packers, selling
agencies and the market interests
generally at South st. Paul.
"This is "a practical commercial
feed lot contest open to any farm
er in Minnesota" says Mr.. Nor
ris. "By a carload is meant Is
baby beeves, which may be bred
or purchased but must be fed by
the contestant. We have cut the
feeding period down from 450
days to 410 days in order that

years showing that this change
was desirable for several reasons. :
The carload baby beef contest
was originated by a livestock spe.
cialist of the University of Min.
nesota for the purpose of applying
the "Babcock test" to beef pro-
duction; to locate the most success
full baby beef producers so that
their methods could be studied anG
initiated; to determine the best
type of baby beef sire; to encour-
age better breeding and feeding
and to offer a project to older boys
who have completed the baby beef
project in regular club work.

The state law requires every
