who up to that time had caused heavy
losses to many banking institutions.
Through the efforts of the protective
committee of the association many of
the big criminals have. been put in
prison and such n check has been put
on forgery that this once profitable
swindle is practically wiped out.
A fund is provided for the detection
and prosecution of bank robbers and
forgers, and when Il member of the
association is victimized in any way
the protective committee puts detec-
tives at work and never ceases its pur-
suit until the perpetrator is found.

the association, is one of the best

is president of the Society For Savings
of Cleveland, an institution that has
deposits of over S35. 100000 and Il sur

largely due to his encoura cement of

NO PROSPECT OF CHEAPER BEEF

A load of beef cattle sold in Chicago
Wednesday at SS.75, the top figures for
this year. The highest point reached in
the same market last year was $6.40. In
spite Of growing complaint at the cost of
meat, and the alluring prices being paid
for beef cattle, the supply continues to
fall short and prices to rise. This
means that the country does not have
the cattle.
@. f. Martin, secretary of the Nation
al Live Stock Association, has sent out
his report covering the conditions af.
fectinp stock raising during the first six
months Of the present year. He says
there are not enough feeding cattle in
sight to furnish the beef supply for next
year, and that there is no immediate
prospect of lower than present prices.
An abundant corn crop cannot change
this situation. OF all the cattle this
spring to go on pasture to be ready for
feed this coming winter not one fourth
are over two years old. But Mr., Mar.
tin does not look for cheaper corn. He
says the supply of corn on hand March
[ was 400, 100000 bushels, or not more
than enough to tide over till the new
scropis ready to use. Even big crop
will not send the price much below so
cents bushel. Another factor of the
situation is the empty feed Cots. All
the beef cattle are being cleaned out,
and the new supply will not be ready
until next spring. Meanwhile all there
is to supply the market are the grass
cattle from the ranges. The feed lots
were never SO empty in the history of
the west as they are now.
Mr.. Martin attaches no isnportance
whatever to the talk about beef trust.
He says it would have been easier to
keep down the price of cattle on the
hoof than to regulate the price of meat
in the market, if trust had been form.
ed, and this NO ona has been able to do.
There has been increased consumption
of meat owing to prosperous times. an
unprecedented export demand, high
priced feed which has kept the smaller
feeders from ssuying stock, and shortage
in the supply, and these conditions
sufficiently account for existing high
1 prices.
1 The consumers Of beef will aot enjoy
this forecast, although they are likely
to look upon it as sufficiently accurate
The producers of beef cattle, who con.
stitute very large and thrifty part Of
lowa's population, will not give any
signal of distress. 1t is their year to
reap harvest and they may be depend.
ed upon to make the most of it.

Herald: President Roosevelt declared
In ta1s Fourth of July speech at Pittsbure
that 1t was his purpose to enforce the
antitrust law without fear or favor, anc
he pad Attorney General Knox higl
compliment by adding that as long a:
that gentleman was at the head of the
department OF justice there need be nc
fear Of the antitrust law becoming :
dead letter. All of which sounds yer7
we'll.
But if President Roosevelt wishes tc
give the best possible proof of his sin.
cerity and of the merits of his attornev
general, he wll! see toit that a prosecu
ton OF the anthracite coal trust is no,
blocked by lawyers pretexts.
Mr.. Roosevelt said in his Pittsbura
speech that it was deeds, not words
that counted. And he has one of the
best chances in the world to show that
he practises what he breaches. If hf
orders prosecution of the anthracite
trust that will be good deed. If he
fails to do SO the country will come tc
he,conclusion that he is trying to ge,
credit through the utterance of words
not followed by acts.

Y CUBAN RECIPROCITY
FAILED.
Why

The session closed With no movement
to bring Cuban reciprocity to the actual
test in the senate. The long. nursed
child simply sickened and withered.
The preliminary consultations had
shown that the case was hopeless, and
heroic measures were not tried. All
sorts of explanations of the failure are
ofered-some of them correct as far as
they go, some of them with tinge of
truth, and some of them wholly imagin-
ary. Had there benin the early stages
of the contest vigorous and deter.
mined effort with the explicit declara-
tiou that it must be reciprocity or moth
ing and had the friendly forces been
lined up behind that declaration, the
policy would have carried. Charles
Emory Smith in Philadelphia Saturday

There appears to be big shrinkaga
in the value of the transport Grant,
which has been offored for sale at San
Francisco, or else the government paid
for it more than 1t was worth. The
government bought this steamer in, 1885
for $660,0O0. A few weeks ago they dis
covered that, notwithstanding 1t had
undergone many repairs, adding con-
siderably to the price above named. it
needed new set of boilers and the gov
ernment offered it for sale. The best
bid which the government has been
able to receive for the transport is
$4,000. A shrlnkage of 5000, 900 on a
$5l 900 steamboat is considerable, and
it looks as though the government had
been done up in the purchase.
