Cattle Testing
Sets High Mark

A new monthly record for the
number of tuberculin tests applied
to cattle in the United States was
established during October, 1881,
by federal, state and local Veteri-
narians. The tests reported for the
month totaled 1,326,562, whereas
the previous high mark made last
March was 1,325,912 tests. Several
states made notably large conrti-
buttons to the new record. Mime
sofa was first with 233 AGA cattle
tested. In New York the number
was ,593, in Illinois 127907, and
in Iowa 127,208.
Most of these tests are being
applied under the modified ac-
credited area plan," explains DR..
A. E. Wight, who is in charge of
tuberculosis-erad work for
the United States department OF
agriculture. A modified accredited
area is one in which the degree
of infection has been reduced to
not more than one-half of per
cent of the cattle population. On
December l, 1887 counties in the
United States were SO recognized
by the department of agriculture
This number is ~ per cent of all
counties in the country.

Liberals to Oppose Pact

Canada Is not a unit upon the
trade treaties or agreements arrived
at in the recent imperial economic
conference at Ottawa. Many bust
nessmen are wondering what effect
the decisions, preferences and what
not will have upon the very desirable
trade between Americans and Cana
dams. The agreement reached re-
Gently at Ottawa, experts say, will
virtually transfer from $50,O00,000 to
500 900 900 OF Canada's annual pur-
chases from the United States to
Great Britain.
Our northern neighbor owes us sew
eral billions and the easiest way to
pay, of course, is in goods and 6erv-
ices. To what exent this ability to
pay has been curtailed can be known
only after the Canadian parliament
approves the trade pacts and the
preferential tariffs become operative.
The Liberal party under the lead
ership of Mackenzie king will attack
the trade arrangement Liberals de-
clare the whole conference was a
failure and the agreements, if per-
sisted in, will injure rather than i'm
prove the commercial status of Can
ada.

Homes and the Depression

For those who have contended that
the American home is breaking up
and will soon be a thing of the past,
there is an excellent answer, backed
by facts and figures, in the U. S. de-
partment of labor statistics on juve-
nile delinquencies.
Such delinquencies showed de-
cline in 1881 as compared with the
three previous years, despite the de-
preston and its admitted pressure on
the average home.
Juvenile delinquencies naturally in
crease when environment is poor, but
the figures show that the American
home has managed to hang together
fairly we'll. in spite of decreased in
comes and the resultant mental strain
in millions OF families.
And if the American home can make
such record in times like these, ii
is going pretty far to say that the
home will soon be a thing of the past

A Tax-Spenders' Problem
Duluth HERALD

Among the initiated laws hurriedly
adopted by the people of North Da-
kOta last June was one providing that
taxes shall be levied on fifty per cent
of the assessed value of property. AS
the old law fixed taxes on basis of
seventy-five per cent of the assessed
valuation, the proposal to cut one
third was immensely popular, and the
measure went over with bang.
The farmer and small property
owner felt that they had accomplished
something worth while, as in fact they
had, for taxes on North Dakota real
estate of all kinds have been high
ever since A. c. Townley induced the
state to make so many expensive eX-
periments in public ownership ten or
a dozen years ago.
But now 1t seems that the cut was
not quite the unalloyed blessing that
some of its advocates thought it
would be. The small property owner
may be helped, but the big corpora
tons, like the railroads and utility
and mortgage loan companies, also
demand their share Of the benefit,
and as the law applies to all alike
they will get 1t. That seems fair
enough. but loud complaints are ris-
ing in all sections Of the state that
II all taxes are cut one-third, 1t is
going to hamper public affairs SER
iously. County, town and school Off
Gals fear they won't have enough
money to run their departments, and
already there Is talk OF applying to the
next legislature for relief.
All OF which suggests two thoughts.
One Is that public officials always
fear they won't have as much money
as they want to spend, and the other
is that II the proposal had been
submitted to the legislature in the
first place, which is always much bet
ter qualified to pass on intricate
taxation problems than the public,
the state would not now be faced with
an annoying problem.

WHO'S WHO ON BROADWAY
The Minskys, entrepreneurS of low
burlesque, were variously college men
and newspaper fellows who stumbled
into the theater through the accident
of a father who happened to be in
the real estate business. Peggy Fears,
newest of the producers, was a Choir
ine-With brains. A. j. Beckhard, an
other newcomer, was concert man
ager. AL Woods was a shrewd side
walk salesman, darting from doorways
with alluring trinkets.
David Belasco had been an actor:
so was Katherine Cornell. And still
is. Sam Harris was an East Side lad
who did bit of everything. George
M. Conan came from theatrical
family and inherited his stage fever.
Lawrence Rivers, who presented the
spectacularly successful Green Pas
| lures" when others had turned
thumbs down, was actually gent by
the name of Rowland Stebbins who
graduated from Wall Street offices
Herman Shumlin was new to the the
alter when he put on the elaborate
Grand Hotel" Jed Harris was a
press agent.
And so it goes, with no one able
to prognosticate from whence any OF
the play sponsors will come.
Several of the successful newcom-
ers have had to fall back on the CO.
operative idea, with players sharing
in the rewards-if any. Thus the first
Beckhard production, Another Lam
guage," turned out to be a great in
vestment for those actors who gam
bled on it's prospects. Several who
insisted on straight salaries have
kicked themselves ever since.

A NEURASTHENEC PROTEST
WORTH HEARING

I am young woman recovering

what you don't know about the sub
ject would fill big book For five

sleep . I thought I was losing my
sanity :. . SO nervous I could not talk
to members of my family e. your
teachings about this denote ignor-
ance any neuraSthenic will tell
you he has a morbid self-conscious-
ness and inferiority complex I
would like to see you develop bad
case of neurasthenia and then hear
you speak your little piece-it would
have a different tune, III wager you

There. What did I tell you? I
quote from my article published July
II, 1882:
II believe the majority Of folk
who attribute their i'll health to
nerves or neuraSthenia OF nerV-
Gus weakness Of one kind or an
other have something really the
matter. Nevertheless I know that
in q good many instances bad
nerves is purely an alibi by
which the neuracketeer ducKS,
lodges, evades. pretends, makes
believe, plays the snob, seeks to
make folks think he is better than
the common run, puts on airs, in
short plays everything but an
honest part with himself and his
fellows"
This indignant young lady is right
when she says what I don't know
about nerves would fill a big BOOK
it fills many large books. Her 500
word protest confirms the truth OF
my teaching about nerves
There is no such thing as nerve
energy, strength, power, and hence
there can be no exhaustion of nerve
power. This is physiological, and |

Washington, March 2S-UP)-
Leslie Mortier Shaw, secretary of
the treasury in the cabinet of
President Roosevelt, died early to-
day in his apartment in the Ward
man Park hotel here.
Shaw had been i'll for five weeks
of pneumonia. His wife and daugh-
ter were with him when he died at
2 a. m.
Shaw was born at Morristown,
Vt. November 2, 1848, son of a
family of Yankee farmers. He at
in Vermont, working in his spare
time as chore boy and cherishing
an ambition to go west.
He finished his high school be-
fore he was 20 and took up teach
ing, still dreaming of owning a
large tract Of land in the west
where he would raise orchards,
wheat, corn and young timber. He
saved every penny until, at the age
Of 81, he had several hundred dol
lars hidden under a mattress. In
1859 he headed west.
Shaw went to Mount Vernon. Ia,
where an aunt lived, and entered
Cornell college there, paying his
tuition by working on farms. In
1874, having completed his Cor
nell course in three years, he en-
rolled in the Iowa college of law,
from which he was graduated in
1876.
A year later he married Miss
Alice Crawshaw, a farmers daugh-
ter, and began to practice law in
Denison, Ia. He did not meet with
immediate success and found 1t
necessary to sell apple trees on the
side to support his family.
Gradually he began to prosper
and in 1880 was able to organize
bank in Denison. Later his bank
ing interests spread to other COM
munities.
In 1896, he entered politics, sup
porting Mckinley in the campaign
against Bryan. He made many
speeches and attracted wide atten-
ton. BY 1897 he had become so
we'll known that the republican
party picked him as it's candidate

third in 1902.

York.
In January, 1908, he resigned
this position and announced him.

dency against William Howard

aspiration, however, and later he
became head of the First Mortgage
Guarantee and Trust company In
Philadelphia-a position he held
until 1918.
He returned to Washington as q
private citizen and continued his
active interest in politics. He was
an outspoken critic of Woodrow
Wilson and the League of Nations
He supported Calvin Coolidge ant
campaigned for Herbert Hoover
He supported the Smoot-Hawle,
tariff act and his last public utter
ance, a radio address in March
1881, was an endorsement of Pres
