ono , of the moHt interesting
IN speeches of the session Senator
George Sutherland of Utnh ( loiilt
with thu present Uny drift toward
newfangled expcrimenUi In govern-
raont , represented liy the BO called Ore-
fion ideas , and ndmlnlHtcred a drub
bing to Senator Jonathan Ilournc , Jr. ,
of that Htuto , president of the I'rogres-
alvo Republican league.
"Within the lust few years , " said the
Dtah nunntor , "tho United States of
'America has become the field of opera
tion for an amiable band of Insurgent
rioothsaycrs , who have been going up
and down the land indulging In cabalis
tic uttcrunccfi respecting the initiative ,
referendum and recall and divers and
sundry other Ingenious devices for re-
tillzlnR the millennium by the ready
nnd simple method of voting It out of
lt present state of incubation. They
direct our attention to the clouds flyIng -
Ing above the far western horizon upon
which the naming finger of the Oregon
gen nun has traced in radiant and
opalescent tints glowing pathways ,
whining minarets , stately temples and
castles and palaces , pinnacles of gold
mid caves of purple , and they tell us
that these are the visible signs which
mark the exact location of the new
mid improved political Jerusalem ,
where the wicked olllco holders cease
from troubling and the weary voters
do all the work.
"They bid us Join them in an airy
pilgrimage to this scene of pure delight
and assure us that here , high nbovo
selfish and mundane things , is the land
'flowing with milk and honey , ' where
every bird Is a songster , where the ex
quisite flowers of political purity are
In perpetual bloom , where 'every pros
pect pleases' and only the standpatter
4s vile , where all the laws are perfect
nnd corruption and wickedness nro for
gotten legends.
"A good many people , " Senator Suth
erland added , "are accepting the invi
tation without taking the precaution
to secure return tickets. "
Calls Them Balloonatics.
Senator Sutherland described the ad
vocates of these newfangled ideas also
as "balloonntlcs , " who are carrying all
gns and no ballast. Senator Suther
land's speech was aimed chiefly nt the
Arizona constitution , although he also
Included the New Mexico constitution
within his condemnation. He acknowl
edged that It was not fashionable to
llml fault with the political fads
which arc being Intempcnitely advo
cated under the claim of restoring gov
ernment by the people.
"Any one , " sold ho , "who doubts the
wisdom of the Initiative nnd referen
dum , the recall or the direct primary
Is at once set down by certain self
constituted guardians of the people's
rights as a 'reactionary * or a 'standpat
ter , ' and only those who accept the
whole programme from prologue to
epilogue nro considered worthy to be
called progressive.
"Somebody 1ms defined a standpat
ter as a man who has stopped and
cannot start , nnd a progressive as one
who has started and cannot stop. 11
these definitions are to be accepted ne
accurate sensible people will avoid
both schools. "
Country's Sanity In Danger.
Senator Sutherland declared that be
tween the political quack who thlnkt
only of himself and the political zealot
who does not think at all the country
is in grave danger of having all UK
stability and sanity ground out of 1U
Institutions.
"We are living in strenuous dayu , "
Bald Senator Sutherland. "Every
tody seems to be affected in one fora
or another with the npeod mania. T <
do everything more quickly , to trave

Too Many New Fads.
"It is not strange that in the unl

should be swept by this mad spirit o
Impatience , which has given rise t <

tors not where only in God's name le

Senator Sutherland declared that th
aow fads in government were to
many even to count. Every self cor
Btltutcd reformer was bringing n fc
vortto patch to the quilting bee , am

"It Is high time , " said Senator Butt

thinks before it acts Instead of n
pontlng afterward. "

IJOUIINB later replied
to the address of Senator Suth
erland. Among other things ,
ho said :
"I believe in truly representative
government * not a pure democracy ,
but under the political system which
has been built up government Is not
truly representative and will not bo

it BO. The Initiative and referendum
Htipersedo no state legislature ; they
merely provide the people a means of
securing laws which legislatures re
fuse to enact and of defeating untie-
elred laws which legislatures do en
act
"Senator Sutherland says that 'when'
ever our present form of representa
tive government proves ineffective 01
works badly the fault is not with UK
machine , but wiUi those who are op
erating it ; the remedy is for the people
ple to exercise more care in selecting
operaUng agents. ' The people have
long tried this remedy ; now they wll
try changing the machinery by pro
vldlng n few new lovers , drive wheeh
and brakes. The most important dlf
ferenco between the views of Scnatoi
Sutherland and my own Is clear. He
believes the machine is all right , bin
the fault lies with the people. I bo
llevo the people are nil right , but th <
fault lies with the machine.
Believes In Direct Primaries.
"I believe in a direct primary , in
eluding n popular expression of cholc <
for presidential and vice presldentla
candidates. Any man who was competent
potent to chose between Mr. Taft am
Mr. Bryan In the last election is competent
potent to chose between Mr. Taft am
Mr. La Follette In the coming prhnu
rlcs. By adoption of this system po
lltlcal bosses , backed by campalgi
contributors , will bo deprived of tin
power to select candidates , and thu
presidents will be relieved of that em
barrassing obligation which the noml
IHHJ must feel toward those who havi
placed him in ofllce.

that all voters shall participate. Thi
technical work of drafting a measur

In that particular , but the people a
n whole are the best judges of th
principles Involved and can bo trustei
to pass upon the merits. The welfnr
of states Is safe from injury at th
hands of men who .have never gou
beyond thd multiplication table. Th
chief attention of congress in reccu
years has been devoted to efforts t
curb the rapacity of large business ir.
tercsts , to regulate trusts , to centre
railroad rates , to prevent mnnufactur
and sale of injurious food products , t
prohibit corrupt use of money in clec
tions and to simplify court procedur
so that the results of litigation shal

more trouble with men who have gen

has with men who have stopped wit

"The senator from Utah says ho ft

the first election after adoption of th

"I am directly interested in Norfc

bought residence property on tl

automobile tires and auto drivers w
go up the alleys rather than run tb <

"Norfolk had better throw mon

REASONS FOR USING HOPS.
I
Taste and Aroma tie Well JIB Preserva
tive Quality Are Assigned.
Borne American growers claim that ,
inasmuch as American hops In many
cases are just as rich in the soft rculus
as the best European hops , their brow-
ng value ought to bo equal to that of
the Europeans. They have not , however -
over , boon nblo to convince American
browcrg of the accuracy of this view.
They will try to do so nt the barley
and hop exhibition In Chicago in Oc
tober , 1011. The principal trouble ,
however , with American hops as they
roach the market ID that they are pick
ed carelessly. The only part that is of
value to the consumer Is the cone , nnd
everything In the shape of stems and
loavoa that is mixed with the grains
not only diminished the amount of
available material , but introduces a
decidedly Injurious element , the leaves
and cones being rich In tannlc acid ,
which Imparts a etriugcut and harsh
taste.

The great Importance of this exhi

tend to put the valuation of hops upon
u substantial basis of facts rutliur than
of Individual preferences.

EARLY DAYS OF COACHES.
When Complaint Was Made That "th <

John Taylor , an English poet , knowi

coaches :
The superfluous use of coachei
hatbe been the occasion of many vili
and odious crimes , as murder , theft
cheating , hangings , whippings , pll

coach quickly mounted tbe price o

Symptoms , Prevention and Cure of"
This Dlsoaie.
Milk fever is Invariably confined to-
the Improved and high producing
cows. The cauHi'H of this dlneaso nro
duo to the high production of milk
and to calving , and the symptoms are
very easily determined , nays Iloard'tf

ness nnd hanging of the head In the

move her stops nro unsteady and sh
often staggers. Bho will not notlco

Since the discovery of the air treat
ment for milk fever dairymen are llt-
tlo concerned about this once dreaded
disease. It is prudent for any dairy
man to have Instruments always ready
for the purpose of giving the air treat
ment , which is very simple and cuu ,
bo performed by any one in n few
moments.
When it is observed that a cow is
suffering from milk fever her teats
should be thoroughly washed with
Bonp and water and ringed , especially
the ends , with n solution of coal tar
product , ' such ns enoleum , lysol , etc.
A piece of heavy sheeting , which has
been placed In a hot oven for n short
time , should be placed under the udder.
The Instrument used for Inflating tin *
udder with air should be placed in
boiling water for n few minutes. Cnro
should bo taken not to place the fin
gers on the portion of the tube to be ?
Inserted In the end of the teat. In
fection is likely to follow , unless carols
ls taken to thoroughly sterilize the
portion of the Instrument that is In
serted in the teat nnd to feecp the teats
from coming In contact with the bed
ding or dirt of the stable after they
are thoroughly washed and disinfect
ed.
ed.Each
Each quarter of tbe udder should
be Inflated with air , and to keep it In
the udder small rubber bands or tape
may be wound about each teat. As n
rule , in an hour or two the animal will
recover sufficiently to rise and will
have n desire to eat If she docs not
the treatment should b repeated in
two or three hourfl.
The air treatment la almost a posi
tive cure for milk fever , but there Is
danger of Infecting the udder unless
care Is taken to thoroughly sterilize
the instrument us < l for inflating tbe
udder with air and the teuta before
starting to Inflate the adder.
Rest the Milk Maker.
A cow should have nt least aix
weeks vacation between milking pe
riods. If Bhe is milked constantly sne
irtll not last long.

Ringbone. If a fore foot is involved -
volved unnerving will bo necessary -

removes the lameness. If it is
a hind pastern have It puncture

narlan nnd then allow sir
weeks' rest in ntall.
Thrush. Cut away all loose
