PROGRESSIVEISM OI
STOKES.
SENATOR
SIMMONSJ;
Mr. McNinch, Gov. Kitchin's, mana
ger, pays the News and Observer to
advertise that the Commsner says that
Senator Simmons is not a progressive.
The Chief Justice of the' Supreme
flonrt nf MrTfi Pnrr1ina aavs that Gov
Kitchin, during his: 12 years in ong -
ress made no record at .all. - The Com-
moner, if it is looking for a progres
sive, is certainly not for Gov. .Kitchin.
Mr. Bryan wrote t le democratic
platform. It is the chart of progres
sive democracy, There is no plank' in
the platform that jMr, Simmons does
not stand on. As to some measures
the ulatform follows him who led. -'the
way. It fits his record; exactly. It
reasserts many long established demar
cratic measures, all of which Mr, bim-
mons has advocated. 1 Senator Sim-
mons has supported' and is
now sup-
porting the following mea&ures:
1. The income tax
2, The election f of
United: -States

15, Govrnment. aid to post road. -With
such a record as this measur-!
ing up to the most exacting standurd,
of real progressiveism; Senator Sim
mons can well afford to dispense, with
the ipse dixit of any one ; man and en
trust his standing as one of. the forest'
front leaders of the ? democratic party
to the democrats" of North 'Carolina
who know him of old, and who can ; be
relied upon to conduct their ; affairs
witrfout the aid of outsiders. v
He is Bubject to the dictation ofjio
man. His leadership has been invaria
bly successful. He will not cater to
the" whims or bow to the threats
of the ambitious.. And w hj I e
these facts my set some against him,
they are his strongest advocates with
the whole people. - "X
The real test is r works, not words;

tiriuous production andbids fair to beat
the world's reoord of 26. 422 .pounds
of milk in a year. This v. result as al
ready pointed out has; been brought a
bout by two factors in the hands of
skillful and capable meji.Ta f undamen
tal insight into an interpretation of the
elementary principles of breeding and
and a thorough grasp of the best meth
ods of combining and utilizing the natu
ral foodstuffs available:for the manu
facture through i the highly organized
dairy cow of; milk and butter. ' -
What should such a -cow be fed?
First" of all the production of milk de
pends on a highly organized nervous
systom. The:fat inmik is produced
by the" growth and atrophy asr it were,
of millions of fa.t globules in, the ultf
ihafe cells "of the udderi - The other
constituents of milk are formed djrect
'Iv and indirectly from the blood' which
has of necessity received its; surplus .of
nuitriment from the food consumed,
digested and aBsimilated iby the cow.
It is impossible for ihecow to make
rich milk and to elaborate it in large
Quantities unless she a is properly - fed.
The reasons for this are perfectly, ob
vious and therrf ore; bring, las-clown to
a consideration finallv, of what the "cow
needs .and hoW ; best to combine the
foods to stimulate the production of
milk and butter." - '- - : :- - :
-An analysis of. milk ' shows that it
consists largeiy of water and , it has
heen proven that succulent food," either
grass oi substitutes therefore, .should
constitute the basis of any ration fora
dairy tw. She, will -give
larger
ftnantitv of milk for ; a longer: time
when this is done than if she is fed ex -
clusively on ary ieea. appears aiau
that milk con tains ,4arge quantities of
nrotein and since, the ; cow. is . capable
ofmanuf acturing.milk- because of her'
highly organizedrand sensitive nervous
system, she must be fed abundantly
on this element. ;; To" withoTd it - will
