Cattle have been raised and used
for beef on farms in this country
almost from the time the first
settler staked out his farm. Beef
cattle are we'll suited to farms that
have enough non-tillable and low
priced land suitable for pastures and
also a sufficient number Of acres
for growing grain and roughage
crops on which to feed and fatten
the animals through the winter.
On many farms the sale of beef
cattle provides the greater part OF
the income, for usually the herd Is
large enough to provide carload Of
cattle each year. Besides the income
from beef, there is one from milk
and cream. Highly bred beef calves
may be developed into desirable beef
for the market by the time they are
weaned if they are also fed on grain
and good pasture food.
In the early days there was large
surplus Of beef for export, but this

seems quite docile and especially
gentle, but we are told that this is
just when you should watch him,
for he may be getting ready to slow

time when he is selecting his mate
and is somewhat temperamental.

They are quite handsome, of rich

A Helpful Relationship

Looking back over the past year of
District-Congress relations, one is
impressed by the absence of serious
friction and by the helpful spirit of
cooperation which has marked the
disposal of much important local
legislation. The Commissioners and
the chairmen Of the legisla tive and
appropriations committees Of Sen
ate and House dealing with the Dis
trict have worked in harmony, and in
no setting does harmony yield
sweeter music. This is in part due
to personalities, at the District Build
Ing and in the committee rooms Of
House and Senate The combina-
tion works, and that is the main
thing.
An article elsewhere in today's Star
reviews some of the important legis-
lation which has been enacted and
comments favorably on the working
agreement between Chairman Ran
dolph of the House District Commit
tee and House Leader Mccormack,
under which the busy House has per-
mitted prompt disposal of local
measures without waiting for infre-
quent District days" On the Senate
side, Chairman McCarran and the
District have benefited mutually by
the arrangement under which Rena
F. Camalier has functioned as liaison
man between the community and the
committee. In the House and in the
Senate, the District has been pecu-
liarly fortunate in the fact that the
chairmen and the ranking minority
members of the District subcommit-
tees on appropriations have worked
honestly and fairly for the best ap-
preparations measures possible under
war conditions and more than once
they have indicated a genuine desire
to be Of real service to their voteless
constituents of the District.
Members of Congress receive small
evidence of appreciation from the
people they serve. Like the rest of us,
they expose, often to our exaspera-
tion, the frailties which we dislike to
associate with our rulers. In every
community of the Nation except
Washington they are held strictly to
account for what they do or fail to
do. Here we take them as they come
good, bad and Indifferent. And
those who indicate their own friend
illness to the people of the District
are repaid, even if such currency is
non-negotiable at the polls, in the
friendship and respect of their
adopted fellow -toWnsmen.

contradiction that he was a courte-
Gus gentleman, scholarly lawyer
and an able member of the Supreme
Court, which he served for fifteen
years. 1t is too early to attempt an
appraisal of the correctness of his
constitutional and economic views,
for the forces which were set in mo-
ton by the political upheaval which
brought about the reversal on the

of the clashing viewpoints of 1887

fully tolerate in ourselves what we

men were to grasp the implications

Defense Middlemen

The activities of the So-called de-
fense brokers, serving as contact men
between war contract seekers and the
Government for shockingly large
fees constitute a diSgraceful COM
mentary on the manner in which the
Governments business is conducted.
AS an adviser to Assistant Secretary
of the Navy Forrestal said, 1t should
be obvious that something Is very
wrong, and that quick action should
be taken to stop proflteering at Gov
ernment expense" The action IS
being taken in the form of a bill
approved by the House Naval Affairs
Committee which would outlaw COM
mission fees on Government con-
tracts. But the root Of the matter
goes deeper than that.
The essential question which should
be answered is why businessmen have
been willing to pay huge fees to some
one who presumably can smooth the
path to Government contract. Can
these middlemen actually perform
the services for which they are paid?
And if so, why?
II II is really necessary for person
to pay some third party In order to
get war contract, then, as the
Treasury aide put it, there is some
thing very wrong-with the business
man, with the middleman and, above
all, with the Government.
Throughout the disclosures before
the committee, there have been re-
peated suggestions of elaborate en-
tertainment by these defense brokers
for various officials Of the Govern
ment. Does this mean that the
officials accepting this hospitality
are unduly Influenced the next day
in favor of their hosts, or does it
merely indicate that businessman,
observing this close social relation
ship, comes to the unwarranted
conclusion that his defense broker
is in a position to secure special
dispensations in his behalf?
In either event, the practice Is a
highly improper one, and the Gov
ernment should put q stop to It.

IN a remarkable passage in an ancient
beck are these memorable words: Il will
send a famine in The land, not a famine
Of bread, nor a thirst of water, but of
hearing the words of the Lord 1t is
the graphic description of a condition
in which a people satisfied with things
that concerned their material and
physical well being were suffering a
famine in that their spiritual natures
we're starved, the deeper desires of their
souls unsatisfied.
Such a condition repeats itself again
and again in human experience. Where
there is no consciousness Of spiritual
hunger. the condition becomes more
pltia BILE and tragic. When Christ affirmed
that man shall not live by bread alone
H. was uttering a profound truth; He
was recognizing an indispensable need
that sooner or later finds expression in
every life. Strong as the appeal of the
physical is and necessary that it should
be satisfied, it is clearly evident that it
alone is inadequate to meet the deeper
demands of the human heart. Life is not
fulfilled. its better, finer nature served,
Wher it's bodily needs are met and its
soul denied sustenance. Strange as it is,
this fact becomes more evident when
stern trials test the stamina and forti-
tude Of man. Given everything that
meets the demands of his physical and
aesthetic desires, he will stand erect and
self-confdent in days of ease: let ad-
verSity or the denial of his desires come
and he suffers from a sense of made
quacy and defeat
There is a famine in the world today.
Perhaps it is not famine Of bread so
far as We of America are concerned, it
certainly is famine CT hearing the
words of God and a glad and reverent
response to His call. Our optimism and
-elf-confdence have betrayed us. Our
0ver-supply of material possessions has
led us into condition that causes us
TO dlstrust the securities we have so
lav!shly built up We are uncertain as
to what is to happen on the morrow. We
have strength and genius above other
people; given opportunity and extended
time and we believe we can meet every
emergency that may arise.
Is this the whole story of what we
have of moral and physical power? Will
ships and armies and highly trained
hosts of men deliver us into a new world

Common Sense Needed

The reputation OF Washington cab
drivers is Nation wide. They have
established themselves in public
opinion as entertaining conversa-
tionalists, keen observers Of men and
affairs and possessed of lot Of
sound, common sense.
But this estimate suffers and con-
tinues to suffer as result of the
strike shenanigans now parading
throughout the headlines. Talk OF
another strike has nothing in COM
mon with common sense. 1t reflects
irresponsible, impulsive leadership
and it is about time that the common
sense of the drivers asserted itself.
There is no earthly justification for
a strike. The drivers have won sub
stantially higher fares, which the
unrepresented public must pay. They
have won reconsideration Of the new
zones, to which they took such vio-
lent exception. To walk out on the
public and on the tentative COM
promise to which their representa-
