greeted to his native shores, two days
ahead of the time the Olympia was

When the great warship passed up

was displayed the greeting, "Wei-
come Home" each letter Q feet high,
and the words surrounded by a broad
border, all white, against the green
background.

FL heard Gov. Roosevelt make a

there was no politics in il, as be was

means, In q general way, Increased
prosperity" Thus Hanna & %. viii

Now that the voters have learneI
their power we may look for q highl.
developed sensitiyeness to publ

authority. The Hoiahans and Dalton
will be more cautious than hereto

that they know that the voters c
their districts hold their politics

keep clear Of Republican jobs. Tn
rulers OF Tammany viii circum

FAKzKR Mo, sept 2-Honorable
J. h shSl, aproninsrt stock shipper
Of thzs county, and . prospective
oR1dkaats Tor Legislative honors. has
farnulstsa . plan which, he thlnkss
Ia adopted the National
LegsslEtars, would not only sSTvs a.
. prOtectaoe TO he shippers Of stock,
buf enables the buyer to pay the
farmers better prices for stock. Mr..
Shell 10 arranging to have his ideas
adopted By the State Board Of AErI-
czlture Of tais and other States and
presented to the next Congress.
What Mr.. Shell says:
ssSfnce the trusts and combines have
given cAuse for general alarm through
out the country, ii becomes necessary
to give the question soDe thought.
IL seems to me that no general law
can reach all classes OF trusts; there
fore they win have to be deait with
separately.
"One Of the worst trusts or combinR-
lions is the cattle or meat trust. /,
therefore, offer the following:
"That the people of the United
States, through the several State
Boards Of Agriculture, circulate
petitions to be forwarded to their
Representatives In Congress- TO have
the Government establish feed pens
near the general markets, where feed
can be had at the market prices
SO. To establish elevators Of
sufficient capacity to store feed that
may be kept In such yards.
$50. Such charges may be made for
the pens as viii maintain them.
"a. Feed 70 be had ct the general
market price.
as. No person or corporation shall
have more than 500 cattle, 1000 hogs
or 1000 sheep In such pens at any enc
time.
sc. No stock to be kept 10 such
Government pens longer than 100
days at any one time.
81. All markets which receive
more than 10000 cattle annually
shall be entitled to such Government
pens.
"In support Of his theory resolutions
Mr.. Shell says:
ssThess resolutions T OF national
character, and concern nearly every
Individual in the United States, either
in buying OF selling meats. They
have . tendency TO put the seller on
equal footing with the buyer. 1t d
something like forcing the buyer u
your feed lots to buy your stock.
Markets often huctuats on runs Of
cattle FROM cents 10 80 cents pei
weight In 3 single day, which
amount to from 80 cents 70 $40 pei
head on cattle and other stock in
proportion. II this system we're In
vogue, We could ship directly to thess
Government feed yards, even IL feed
were higher ct home, and feed the
cattle there In many cases cheaper
than It could be done ct home. 4
would also HAYES tendency to ever
the market 20 that no o~ver-suppll
would at once be thrown on thu
market.
aEo individual can afford to under
take to get his measure through
Congress, and the State Board o
Agriculture is the proper function 4
take If In hand and interest otheI
State Boards In circulating petition
and We hope that any u who cal
will take the matter In hand.u
