SOUTHERN DAIRYMEN IN WISCONSIN
THE National Dairy Exposition was held In Mil
waukee September 27th to October 4th. Sev
eral southern states had exhibits there which
were so creditable as to excite tne envy of many
northern competitors who have heretofore supplied
the South with tho finest products of the creamery.
Recently a letter appeared In thW Manufacturer's
Record, of Baltimore, In which Is described the char
acter of the southern exhibits very much to tholr
advantage. The thought is thereby suggested that
the southerners have pictured their dairying oppor
tunities to a northern audience more effectively
than It has ever been narrated to the home people.
Mr. C. H. Bishop, of the Georgia Association,
writes concerning the exposition and emphasizes the
fact referred to above. The following Is what Mr.
Bishop has to say on the subject:
"In all our efforts to Rrouse the people of our state
to their opportunities for dairy prosperity, I never
have found such understanding and response as I
have In talking to Northern farmers at this expo
sition. They seem to grasp our favorable advan
tages In Georgia far better than do our own peo
ple. I suppose It is because these men of the North
know what dairying means and can understand how
greatly profitable It can be made In a land where
the climate and economic conditions make It pos
sible to keep good cows so cheaply and so conven
iently and with the advantages of a market unlim
ited. The southern farmer Is turning to the dairy
cow, but If be could see the attitude of northern
farmers toward dairying In our section, after having
heard tt explained at tho exposition, the south
ern fanner would completely do away with all mis
givings and go Into dairying with an earnest heart
before these men of the North enter his section and
show the cotton grower how he has been passing up
so many wonderful opportunities ’’
A second Georgian at the exposition declartfS that
the great problem Is to make the farmer of the South
properly appreciate how potentially blessed they are
In being able to keep their cows more profitably
than they can be kept elsewhere. When more
northern farmers come South and show the southern
farmers how simple and easy It Is for us to grow
our own forags and feedstuff* Instead of buying It
In distant slates, then and not till then will the
South be In a fair way to gain her In
dependence, wealth and farm stability. This dairy
man it apprehsnslve of the time coming when the
southern farmer, unless he avails himself of his
present opportunities, will sooner or later bo con
fronted with competition by nothern farmers com
ing South and developing the dairy Industry on such
a scale that has never been conceived of by the na
tive population.
This means to the farmers of the South not just
millions of dollars, but hundreds of millions. Just
a simple story of the ease with which cow feed can
be provided in the South has made our visitors at
the dairy exposition regard the South ns being a ve
ritable dairying paradise. The actual advantages In
our section are so extraordinary that we have had
to emphasize nothing; we have Just told a simple,
matter-of-fact etory, and that story strurk our vis
itors as being a tnle of a mythical dairy fairyland
until they were shown the actual sample* of crops
we produce.
The Southern farmer te not going Into dairying
hecauee he wants to, hut because he Is being forced
into It by certain farm conditions. Later on he will
find himself forced Into It more largely hy the
northern farmers who settle In our section and set
a good example. Men who have made good money
from dairying In the cold North on high priced land
and with feed produced at high cost will find them
eolvee facing the most beautiful kind of an agri
cultural condition when they bring their dairying
and diversification plan to the South.
SMALL POLITICS INDEED.
THE truth about the sugar duty Is out at last. It
was nothing nor# nor less than the Herald sus
pected from the start and hns been charging
from ttms to time all along. President Coolidge has
been Ignoring tha Interests of th* people tn order
to pander to a comparatively small number of vot

are growers of auger beets and who consequently
want the high protection that the Fordncy-MeOum

“It was Indicated at the white house today that
tha president would not be able to act upch the rec
ommendations of tha tariff commission for a reduc

•’The president has had the report of the tariff

he cannot do so. Michigan, Colorado, Nebraska.

"Republican senators representing these states say
that the proposed reduction would be disastrous to

housewife In the land by lowering the price of su
gar. perhaps the moet universally used commodity.
The tariff commtsaion watted a long time, but
about two months ago they made a recommendation
that the president shoud reduce the duty on sugar.
Thus, millions and millions of dollars have been
taken from the households of the land In order to
boost Coolidge a chances for the presidency In
principally one slate, and that the state of Utah.
Is anything more needed In the way of a practi

‘Common Sense’ Is Fine;
But, Let’s Have Some!
BY HARRY B. HUNT
WASHINGTON. —Now would seem
to be a fine time for the
practice of that ‘•economy’’
and ’ common eense” In gov
ernment which one hears so mueh
about but nec3 so little of here in
Washington.
Tied up at the Philadelphia Navy
Yard is the partially completed dread
naught Washington. on»- of the lar
gest and most costly .-hips ever laid
down by the United States navy.
A fighting ship of 22,600 tons, de
signed to ckrry eight 16-Inch guns.
Home $20,000,000 were spent on her
before the conference on limitation
of armament listed her, because In
completed, among the vessels to be
scrapped by Uncle Sam
Now It Is announced that the
Washington Is to bo sent to a watery
grave off the Virginia 'capes In De
cember at the annual navy maneu
vers and target practice.
She will be used as a thing ti> drop
bombs on, a mark for gunners to fire
at, until she fills with brine and
goes down.
WHILE Uncle Sam Is permitting
the navy to use this great hulk,
containing thousands of tons
of steel and materials that
would repay many times the cost of
salvaging, oven for sale as scrap, aa
a target for a forenoon’s "demonstra
tion,” the British government, also
following a policy of “economy.” Is
spending hundreds of thousands ol
dollars in raising tile German war
ships sunk off S’capa Flow In order
that the materials In them may be
salvaged.
One or the other of the two govern
ments must he "out of step” with the
economy tune. If It Is worth the
British government’s while to raise,
at great expense, the hulks of the
scuttled German fleet for the ma
terials they contain, certainly the
thorough salvaging of a ship already
tied un beside a construction pier
ought to yield equal savings.
IE the slaking of the dismantled
Washington under navy bombs or
gunfire was to prove anything
more than that bombers and
gunners can hit tnc mark. It might
be conceded as worth while. But It
will not.
In tests already made. In which
certain of our own obsolete ships
and others of the surroundered Ger
man fleet were used as targets, the
ability of aerial bombs to wreck
and send to the bottom the most
staunchly built hattleshlos was
proven to the satisfaction of all the
e Herts.
Likewise the ability of modern
projectiles to penetrate the heavi
est nrmorplate with which a ship
can he burdened was demonstrated.
The proposed tests will add noth
ing to knowledge already gained on
these subjects.
NAVY officials and Navy League
enthusiasts, however. Insist that
the sinking of the Ws-hlnetor.,
as scheduled. Is most Important.
And. from their viewpoint, rather
than the viewpoint of the average
taxpayer, that doubtless will bo
true.
The "demonstration” will come
shortly after Uni—ress reconvenes,
when the new navy appropriation Will
will be In the early stages of con
sideration In committee.
The "attack” on the Washington
and her destruction by bombs and
gunfire will he spectacular. It will
make good pictures and good
"copy.” It will bring the navy and
the navy program much publicity.
No such attention,, of course,
would he paid to bullßeyes scored
n a canvas target or to bombs
(hopped oil an outlined battleship.
Because of the publicity and In
i' -cut nttend'ng the actual sinking
of an actual ship. Instead of the
registering of equally good hits
otherwise, the msneuvera are ex
pected to be worth many millions
of dollars to the navy in Increased
appropriations.
But they will not help bring
down the price of steel or struc
tural materials. Nor will this sche
duled feature add either to our na

“A NEW DAY WITH DAVIS.”
Katharine Lee Bates, of Welles
ley, author of the verses "America
the Beautiful,” Is not satisfied with
the definition of America In Its at
titude toward the rest of the world
that the republican administration
has given. Though "born and bred"
a republican, she announces her In
tention to vote for Mr. Davis and
offers the slogan "A New Day With
Davis." She holds that our "pa
triot dream” should not stop with
the vision of a "brotherhood from
sea to shlnjng sea,” but should have
some concern for the rest of the
world.
Also hoping for a new day under
such an American policy as Is de
fined In Mr. Davis’ speeches are
men In university faculties from
whom voters have a right to expect
disinterested advice at a time when
partisanship Is likely to swerve
men’s judgments. The list of twen
ty-three western professors who de
clare themselves convinced that
through the election of Mr. Davis
the United States would bo brought
Into the league Is not quite so long
oor Imposing as that of tho thirty
one repqubltcans who four years
ago asked everybody to vote for Mr.
Harding with the same goal in
prospect. The list of professors
might easily be many many times
longer. As It Is, it has unusual sig
nificance In showing the importance
oC the league in the minds of rep-
resentative intellectual leaders tn
the Middle West, from the Univers
ity of Michigan to the University of
Kansas. Professor Reeves' criti
cism of his colleagues for their per
versity Is not that they are for the
league, since he is himself In favor
of it, but that since the contest in
that region, as ho sees it, is between
Coolidge and I.a Follette, both of
whom are against the league, one
should not throw away his vote on
Davis but vote for Coolidge, who
has declared our joining the league
“a closed Incident." It is hard to
follow this reasoning.
With these names of professors in
the fields of history, economics, pol
itics. philosophy, international law.
education, are to be associated also
college presidents who have an
nounced themselves in favor of Mr.
Davis. Some of these have been as
sociated with the democratic party
in the past, but several of them,
notably Presidents Htbben, Gar
field and MacCracken. have to leave
the party of their bringing up and
of their iong attachment In order to
find a candidate whom they can
support. Never has a voter who be
lieves In showing a “decent respect
for opinion of mankind” had a
stronger or cleaner call to inde
pendent action. —Louisville Courier-

THE BOND ISSUE
AND THE CHILDREN
When all is said and done if this
bond Issue goes through and the
smoke of battle clears away, how wilj
the children ho affected by it in the
long run?
of course this bond issue of ?SjO,-
000 Is only the beginning of others In
the next few years to replace or
alter the white and colored grammar
schools. I could write pages on the
effect the necessary higher taxes will
make In tho homes and families liv
ing on an Income under $5,000 a year,
if the home is owned by the occu
pant there Rre the direct taxes to be
met which will probably total at least
$45 00 a year for every SI,OOO assessed
property. If the home is rented the
same amount goes In taxes via the
landlord. Then the Indirect taxes at
the same rate paid out of the inoovne
for the running of the household.
Figure It out for yourself and see
how much you pay for direct and in
direct taxes and compare it with what
you pay for your table, clothing or
service. What are your children
t'clng deprived? How much harder
uo the mother and father have to
work? How murh time and attention
are taken from the children? It Is
the cry everywhere that the children
are losing much home Influence which
is rightly thelre and by reason of
which the community suffers. Edu
cation comes not from schools alone.
You will look with pride at your
boys high erhool but you hang your
head In shame over some of the
grammar schools that have not been
touched.
But suppose other bond issues go
through and all the schools are grand,
what are the prospects for these edu
cated boys and girls in a com
munity so tax burdened that no busi
ness will come here? Will not these
children say to us and not without
cause. Why have you spent so much
money on our education that our
city Is smothered under the debt and
we must go away from home In order
to earn a living? Look at the young
people leaving Augusta now. Look
at the stores and houses with “For
Rent’’ on their doors. Ask the mer
chants of Augusta "how Is business?”
then ask yourself. "Is this present
bond Issue the best thing for our
children?
