Columbia, Mo., May 23.—Patiently doing about seven times her duty by giving seven times the average quan- tity of milk and nearly seven times the average quantity of butter, Mis- souri Chief Josephine, the .record cow on the State Farm, little realizes that were her milk put on the market it might be the cause of legal compli- | cations. A State law demands that milk for the market must contain 3 1-4 per cent fat. The average of Chief Josephine’s is about 3 per cent. Would this keep her milk off the market, notwithstanding it is perfect- ly normal and nearly seven times the quantity of the average cow? I. F. Vanonte, who has charge of Jose- phine, thinks not. If the law were tested in the Su- preme Court,”’ he said, ‘I do not be- lieve that it would stand. No fault can be found with the milk, In a day she gives many times the amount of fat to be found in the milk of an aver- age cow. There is a natural law to be taken into account which I do not Thus did Champ Clark of Missouri, leader of the Democrats. in House of Representatives, thunder his reply to the speeches of President Taft and other Republican leaders who are at- tempting to feed a disgusted public on the assertion that the Payne-Al- |drich bill was ‘“‘the best tariff bill” ) ever passed. Mr. Clark's speech had been care- fully prepared. It was a complete and effective answer to the many bald misrepresentations that have been manufactured by the Republicans» who are desperately in need of cam- paign material of any sort. Hundreds of thousands of copies of the minori- ty leader's great speech will be mail- ed out by the Democrats. It is practi- cally a handbook on the Payne-Al- drich bill. To start with, the Missourian de- nounced the proposed appropriation of $250,000 of the people’s money for the purpose of enabling the Re- publicans to gather data with which to attempt to prove that the new tariff law is a God-send to the coun- try. He condemned the joker in the tariff bill. He deplored a condition which permits the steel trust and other monoplies to sell their manu- factured products cheaper to foreign- ers than to Americans, “It is true,’ Mr. Clark admitted, | that we reduced the tariff on lumber, and that the lumber trust marked up j the price of lumber $1 per thousand | feet before we got out of Washing- |ton. And if the department of justice had done its duty it would by this time have filled the jails so full of lumber trust magnates that their arms and legs would stick out at the windows and doors. “Mr. Payne, the Republican floor \leader, says that he and his cohorts | will meet us in November. Glory be! |Glory be! I never looked forward to jany day with such joy as Ido to the” first Tuesday after the first Monday |of November except to my wedding day and to the days on which my children were born. “My Democratic brethren, at last, jafter hard trials and “great tribula- \tions, thank God we stand here | shoulder to shoulder, heart to heart, | solid as a stone wall, inspired by the hopes of coming victory. Democrats In the History of Butler The Greatest Bargain Even 3 p. m., Saturday, May 29 The Bazar BUTLER, Mo. though the matter over carefully for several weeks. “TL concluded that any allegiance I may have owed Mr. Ballinger,’ said ~ Kerbyr ‘‘was cancelled absolntely when, by his silence, he became a party to an attempt to smother the truth,”” By making his exposures Kerby | was probably treacherous to Balling- | er and Ballinger’s plans for turning over Alaska coal lands to the Morgan- Guggenheim syndicate. But it is difficult to see how he was treacher-! ous to the public in whose service he’ was employed. “The new tariff classifications in the_catton_schedule,”’—says—Senator- Dolliver, Republican, ‘operate to in- crease duties very materially on-most cotton clothes used for women’s and children’s summer wear, and on all mercerized cottons, figured curtains and upholstery goods, etc. In fact, the Aldrich revision of this schedule was was one of the most daringly ini- quitous features of the new tariff. The production of agricultural imple- ments is largely in the hands ofa trust, and the trifling reduction of 5 per cent on these products was ‘merely for the purpose of attempting! to fool the farming community.

An inspector of the war depart- ment reported that the food in the soldiers’ home was no more in quan- tity than that supplied to prisoners in tne federal penitentiaries. An idea of the wasteful methods employed in conducting the homes may be had from the fact that al- though the cost of maintenance more than doubled in the ten years be- tween 1898 and 1708, the number of soldiers cared for had increased but 7 per cent. “Let your imagination spread this outlay of 14 cents over a day’s food supply,’’ suggested Representative Cox of Ohio, ‘‘and you have an ac- curate picture of how the nation’s it will never return to him as long as the grass grows or the water runs.” Lion Fondles a Child.
