The Cattle Trust.


THE MESSAGE wants to give you
little food for thought in the res
olution published below originated
by Mr.. j. II. Shell and adopted by
the Farmers Institute meeting
at Laddonia last fall. That Mr..
Shell is a candidate for the Lcgis-
lature is neither here nor there;
it seems to us that his resoluti ons
are timely just now and hence we
are glad to reproduce them.
Mr.. Bryan has remedy for the
trusts that do an interstate bust
ness, but Mr.. Shell believes in TAX
ing one at time, and as Il starter
he would take the cattle or meat
trust. We hope our exchanges
will re-publish Mr.. Shells rcsolu-
tons. They had wide publlca
ton over the State last fall, but
they are worth repeating. The
governmental it is to remain Il
government of the people, for
the people and by the people
must take IA hand against the
trusts, and now is the time to push
the agitation.
Here are Mr.. Shells resolutions:
Since the trusts and combines
have given cause for general alarm
thruOut the country, it becomes
necessary to give the question some
thought. 1t seems to me that no
general law can reach all classes of
trusts; therefore they will have to
be dealt with separately.
One of the worst trusts or com
bines is the cattle or meat trust.
therefore offer the following:
l. That the people of the I'M
tied States, thru the several State
Boards of Agriculture, circulate
petitions, to he forwarded to their
representatives in Congress, to
have the government establish feed
pens near the general markets,
where feed can be had at the mar
ket price.
> To establish elevators of
sufficient capacity to store feed
that may be kept in such yards.
3. Such charges may be made
for the pens as would maintain the
yards.
I. Feed to be had at the gen
eral market price.
No persons or corporation
shall have more than 800 cattle,
| 900 hogs or |, 200 sheep in !such
pens at one time.
6. No stock to be kept in such
government pens longer than 100
days at any one time.
7. All markets which receive
more than 800, 900 cattle annually
shall be entitled to such govern
ment feed pens.
In support of these resolutions
Mr.. Shell said
These resolutions are of ma
tional character, and concern near
ly every individual in the United
States, either in buying or selling
meats. They have II tendency to
put the seller on equal footing with
the buyer. 1t is something like
forcing the buyer to come to your
own feed lots to buy your stock.
Markets often fiuctuate on runs of
cattle from DC to 50c per hundred
weight in day, which amounts to
from soc to $40 per head OH

Things That Affect Memory.

Scientists have discovered that the
memory Is stronger in summer than in
winter. Among the worst foes OF the
memory are too much food, too much
PHYSICAL exercise. and strangely
enough, too much education.

REPUBLICANS ALARMED.
Kansas Foreign Element OPP
posed to Imperialism.

TOptk l,Kas, Jan. 20.-Members
of the Republican State Central
Committee who came here to-day
admit that there is certain to be Sc
rious losses to the Republican par
ty in Kansas if something is not
done to hold the foreign vote.
The Germans, ScandinayianS and
Russians, who have heretofore yo-
ted the Republican ticket in this
State, are renouncing their allegi-
ance to the party because of its
new foreign policy.
At the meeting of the State Com
mittee on the 2Sth action will be
taken on this matter, and the Ma
tional Committee will be asked to
flood the foreign population of Kan
sa; with literature that will prevent,
If possible, general stampede to
the Democracy.

ed briefs to President Harrison and
Secretary Of State Blaine on the
CHILEAN dispute and the Behring sea
controversy. His advocacy of the new
locks at the Sault Ste Marie ship canal
carried to a successful result legisla-
ton, the wisdom Of which has since
been amply demonstrated.
In 1898 the Republican legislative
caucus voted in favor of the reelection
of Senator Davis. but before the leg
islature voted on the senatorship vari-
Gus influences interviewed and he was
finally elected by majority of one, al
though the Republicans had a major
ity of II on joint ballot.
At the beginning IF his second term
Senator Davis was placed on the COM
mittee on foreign relations and when
Senator Sherman was transferred to
the cabinet of President Mckinley Sen
ator Davis was placed at the head OF
that important committee.
In 1856 many friends of the senator
pressed his name for the presidential
nomination, but before the state con-
vention to name delegates met, he
withdrew and Mckinley delegates were
sent from Minnesota.
:: During. the past four years Senator
Davis position as chairman of the for
eign relations committee of the senate
and later as one of the Paris peace
commissioners, have kept him promin-
emily before the public of all nations,
He was reelected without opposition in
1899 for his third term
