The Horse Is Still With Us

Every so often we hear the prediction made that
the horse will vanish from the American scene in a
few years. Most of the prophets are fond of saying
that their grandchildren will be able to see horses
only in geological gardens. But right on the heels of
these dire forecasts, there always pops up some new
evidence that the day of the horse is not yet over.
1t is human nature. we suppose. to imagine that
the new must always displace the old. Not long ago
it was electricity that was going to displace steam.
More recently the belief was current that internal
combustion motors were going to make steam engines
obsolete.
But along comes the United States Navy with the
announcement that the two new battleships about to
be built will be powered by steam-engines without
any electric driving mechanism. although five of I'm
Gle Sans capital ships have electric drives. And in
spite of the excitement and publicity about Diesel
engined locomotives on some of the modern stream
lined trains, the newest ~highspeed locomotives being
built for important railway systems are steam en-
gines.
Coming back to horses, it is true that there are
not as many being used as there were twenty years
ago, but there are more than there were five years
ago. The highest count of horses on American farms
was in 1918, when the Census enumerators found
211a million. BY 1881 the number had dropped to
under Is million. but the most recent count shows
more than Is million horses now at work.
New York state has just announced that its far
mers will have to import 10 900 horses from the West
this year to provide the motive power they need on
their farms. Good work horses are no cheaper than
they ever were. An average of 5000 each is about the
ruling price in the East.
Horseshoe makers have just reported a heavy
drop in sales since 1888, but a good deal of that is
accounted for by the growing practice of farmers of
using unshod horses. Where horses are used only for
field work and their hoofs do not have to hammer on
the hard highway, horseshoes are unnecessary. Mod
ern concrete roads full of automobiles have driven
the horse off the thoroughfares, but he is coming
back on the plowed fields.

GENUINE HEART DISEASE

If ever a fellow needs skilled med

this talk is to try to make the lay
mar understand his heart better so
he may seek competent counsel at
once If he suspects trouble with this
vital organ.
Remember, it is not the blood in
the big caverns Of the heart that
sustains the heart-muscle itself. The
heart-muscle has Its separate arter-

leg has. The coronary arteries OF the
heart-muscle supply it with blood,
and these are probably the most re-

SShotc IoielSu htldtlOus
Committee has drafted a permanent
Neutrality bill. which is quite likely
TO be adopted without material
change. The objective is. of course,
to keep the United States out of the
European War which seems to be
Imminent.
The major provisions of the bin
are a mandatory embargo on arms
and on lending Government money
to powers at war. with broad power
granted to the President to forbid
Americans to travel on vessels of
~belligerents or to ship any goods
other than arms. upon which he
may declare an embargo, on any
American vessel.
Also, in time of peace the Presi-
dent could declare certain commodi-
ties implements of war and forbid
their export without a Federal
license.
That this oil any other possible
Act of Congress would effectively
keep this country out of a war in
~volving the great nations of the
world is seriously questioned by
some of the Senators, for whom
Senator Johnson of California is
spokesman. He declares that it can
not possibly work.
The attitude of Congress. how
ever. is n of political isolation for
the United States, an attitude which
those who hold it do not regard as
contradictory to the Secretary of
states policy of economic interna-
tionalism, nor inconsistent with our
participation in the international
armament race in which all of the
great powers are now engaged.
Preparing for War
Ii is pointed out by some shrewd
England, Germany. Japan, italy,
France and Russia to prepare for
another great war before they have
finished paying for the last n have
been stimulated rather than checked
by the extension of the American
policy of neutrality.
In the last war the %belligerent
nations relied upon the United
states not only for war materials
but for foodstuffs, cotton and other
commodities which they do not pro-
duce themselves. Now they are
afraid that they will not be able to
get such supplies from this side of
the ocean so they have started to

With the other great powers en-
larging their navies, it seems essen
tial for us to do the same as a mat

are committed to building two new
great warships Of $4,000 tons, to
! match the two of similar size for
| which England has already laid the
keels.
The immediate stimulus to Bril-
tain's naval enlargement was Ger
many's action in building a fleet Of
pocket %battleships and in other
ways giving evidence of b~elligerent
intent. Britain's activity stirred
Japan to launch its own big navy

ARIZONA
IN WASHINGTON
By BOB MERKLEY

The Capitol city has put on It's
holiday garb. Crowds are hurryine
about the business of shopping with
fervor and zest. The downtown
shopping area is congested with
street cars, buses, taxis, private
autos and pedestrians.
The Capitol Hill too, there is a
feverish activity suggesting that
perhaps congressman, like those who
wait too long to do their shopping
are getting restless with Christmas
almost here and so much yet to be
done.
There would be an odd lot of gifts
in the stockings of statesmen If
only the good Saint Nick were max
ing a personal appearance at the
Capitol this year.
The President would ask for a
little better cooperation from legls-
Iative and judicial branches, and
every member of the Cabinet would
like another appropriation for his
Department. But what about the
man in the House and Senate
There are probably no two who
would ask for the same thing.
Senator Hayden would surely
concentrate his letter to Santa on
the subject of good roads for Ari-
zona. His name stood out on the
front pages of a good many ma
tionally famous newspapers a few
days ago when he came out SO
strongly against the Presidents re-
ouest for a cut in the highway ap-
Dropriation. There is some highly
convincing argument on his side OF
the story. Many states have already
prepared their own budgets with
the originally promised help in
mind.
Congressman Murdock would ap-
preciate some help from jolly Santa
Claus in getting that farm Dill
straightened out. He is not at all
satisfied with what he finally had
TO accept from the House in the
way of reduced acreage. That bill IS
still not completed, however, Tor II
must yet be shaken up with slmi-
lar one originating in the Senate
and no one knows just what Will De
the result. 1t is pretty certain that
no farmer in Arizona is losing more
sleep over next years crops than
in Congressman Murdock.
It would indeed be an assortment
of presents, should Stanta Claus
really come.
