statement unless it Is that he Is afraid

Fletcher in the Eleventh.
The Fletcher meeting last evening was
in Berglund's hall at Franklin and 18th
avenues S, and attracted an audience Of
about 300 eleventh warders. Charles Cork
presided, and in addition to Mr., Fletcher,
speeches were made for him by Colonel
Evans, Thomas H. Shevlin, Major w. D.
Hale and M. H. Boutelle.'
Mr.. Fletcher defended the three sub
jects in his record on which his opponents
criticize him. AS to- his attitude on the
Chippewa timber bill, he said he had
favored selling the pine at public auction
to the highest bidder, in order to give the
lumbermen of this district fair chance
to buy it and have. it brought to our Min
neapolis mills to be sawed. He entered
his customary defense on the other two
counts, saying that he had always been
in favor Of reciprocity with Cuba, and
had voted against the 20 per cent reduc-
tion because he did not want to help the
sugar trust that much, but preferred to
give the money to the poor Cubans.
/ Peterson in Sixth Ward.
Mr. Peterson spoke at Dania hall, Cedar
avenue and Fifth street. The meeting
opened in the small hall, which filled up,
and after a speech by C.. A. Dalby, the
crowd moved to the larger hall upstairs.

Peterson. He declared himself with
President Roosevelt on Cuban reciprocity,
and criticized Congressman Fletcher on
this proposition, also on the canal and on
the Chippewa bill. He read from Mr.
Fletchers remarks on the Chippewa bill,
in which he said the auction sale would
be more satisfactory to the lumbermen
and then said that there was an evident
| interview, in which he said it was great
| mistake to change public officials. He
made plea for honest primaries, and
saids after the remarks already quoted:
Right here in the sixth ward you will
find men plugging for Loren Fletcher, ane
do you know why they are doingit? Is. II
because Mr.. Fletcher has represented the
district so well? Let us not be 30 IN

It is hard to pick up magazine without
finding one or more stories Of successful
men who say they have worked up. by
working overtime. There is a great deal
in this theory, but 1t Is being worked to
death just now. Because man is
anxious to rise is no reason for his killing
himself at the desk. There IS such a
thing as common sense even in the ambi-
tfous business man, and he knows he can't
work 20 hours day and be healthy and
that he needs golden grain belt beer with
his meals: 1t rests the nerves and re-
ueves the tension of hard work. Better

listed in the United States army and went

His company after service In northern Lu-
zon was assigned to duty with the provost

ing his attention was attracted by the
screams of a woman. On going to ascertain
the cause he found two drunken soldiers In
the act OF assaulting her. He interfered and
after knocking the drunken men down offered
to accompany the girl home. To his surprise
she answered in broken English. Il :
It was the beginning of a courtship that
ended in the Americans marriage to the sen
orita, who proved to be the daughter OF a
wealthy Spaniard in business In Manila. For
months they lived happily together until Diller
was sent home with his company. He has
been visiting in this city with relatives for
several mouths. During his absence from
Manila his Spanish wife visited relatives In
Barcelona and Madrid, Spain, and recently
returned to Manila. Yesterday Diller re-
ceived cablegram from Manila announcing

He WANTS A JURY.
Clerk of Arapahoe Co., Colo,
Charged With Contempt.

Denver, Colo, Nov 10.-County Clerk
Julius Aichele has asked Judge Johnson
to permit a jury to hear the charge of
contempt entered against him in the
election case filed last week by Chair
man Lowry of the Republican county
committee. The demand is made in the
answer filed by the defendant today and
the court has set Friday morning as the
time for the hearing. The clerk was
cited for contempt because he disre-
garded a writ of injunction issued by
Judge Johnson which forbade. him to
certify names on the registration lists
which were declared to be fictitious
Clerk Aicheles answer covers three
points In the first, he denies the juris-
diction of the court, stating that a writ
of prohibition was pending IN the su-
preme court bearing on this very mat
ter
Secondly, he denies that he had violated
any order of Judge Johnson, asserting that
the certificatiOn of registration books to
the election boards had been completed
before the service of the writ of injunc-
ton: that he had means of knowing
what names were fraudulent, if any, and
that he was forced to assume the lists
sent out contained the name of those en-
titled to vote.
The third clause consists of the demand
for a jury trial.
Attorney H. J.-Hersey, who represents
the Republicans, gave notice that he wish
ants answer which calls for jury on
the ground that the statute of 1901. provid-
ing for a jury trial in contempt cases, is
unconstitutional.

The Beef Packers, Plea.

Boston Transcript:
Now that the coal strike has ceased to
engross public attention we can return to
our muttOnS. or rather to our beef, and
free our souls once more as to where the
responsibility belongs for the high price of
that aole In an article on The So
Called Beef Trust in the November Cen
tury, George Buchanan Fife makes a COM
prehensive review of the various phases
of the situation and seems disposed TO
give all parties, the packers, the govern,
ment and the consumers a hearing ana
the benefit of their respective positions.
The plea of the packers is that there is
no bond between any two houses as to out
put. There is no illegal arrangement or
trade 1T is for natural and necessary
self-protection.' For instance, ''one of the
packing houses calls us up by telephone
and asks: Are you sending any extra
say Yes: we are sending six to New
York because we learn from the report
of our agent that the market there re-
quires such shipment. What is the re-
suit? The packer who called us up does
not ship what extra beef he may have to
New York. but to some other market.
All this seems very innocent and when
the packer comes to tell his tale and give
his figures with respect to dressed beef.
showing that not only is there no profit
in it. but that when carcass is put on
sale in New York it represents an ex-
penditure on the part of the packer of
nearly a cent more a pound than he gets
for it. the situation calls for profound
public sympathy and gratitude for MS
altruistic Operations-prOvided We accept
the story Just as he tells 1t. To be sure.
there are some little items on the side
on which he realizes. such as hides,
horns, hoofs. blood. surplus fat, trim
mings and offal, and. judging from the
manner in which those who control this
industry keep ahead of the game there
must be various consolation prizes in those
products.
When half dozen concerns can fix and
balance the markets at all landing points
by a few vibrations of the telephone 1t
looks very much like restriction OF trade
or a monopoly in the business. whether so
intended not 1t shows the six extra
cars which a neighborng house may be
sending out determines the action of an
other house. What may or might be going
on in some other parts of the country cuts
no figure. All that has been looked after
and attended to in advance. and calcula-
tiOns can be made to a nicely and prices
fixed at the will of those who have made
the agreement for necessary self-protee-
tfOn.s
