AN EXPERTS VIEWS ON BEEF.

Levi B. Doud, president of the Chi
cago Live Stock Exchange in an article
on the cause of high beef contributed
10 the Chicago Record Herald declares
most emphatically that there is no
foundation for the charge that prices of
beef have been forced far above their
legitimate level by combination of the
l5eef packing interests. Mr.. Doud takes
tho position taken long ago by the
Times Republican that dear corn
makes Gear cattle. Eie goes ON to show
that every Shortage of corn crop has
been attended by corresponding rise in
cattle prizes and as consequence by
rise ia the price of the finished product.
In 1882, when corn scId UP to S1l@ cents
cattle were sold at $50 per hundred
weight. In his opinion, that of an ex-
pert, the cause of high beef is mostly
due to the partial failure OF the crops
With corn at GO cents per bushel, and
I, shortage in the forage crops Mr.. Doud
IL at q loss to see how beef could have
been produced and sold at margin of
profit for less than the prices that have
obtained Had the farmers failed
to receive high prices for the stock pro-
Educed at high cost the result would
have been disastrous to the agricultural
interests all over the country. The de-
nand has however exceeded the supply
and this fact alone is sufficient reason
for the rise and maintenance of the
current high price OF beef products.
Mr.. Doud expects to see some cheap
ening OF cattle prices, when grass cattle
begin to move, but unless the present
agitation results in permanent cur
tailment in the consumption of beef in
some such proportion as that noted
during the last two weeks, thinks the
supply of good beef cattle turnout the
summer is likely to be relatively small
enough to hold prices above the
level of recent years. But ac-
cording to Mr. looud the great
hope of all concerned in the bus
mess is that a favorable season viii re-
suit in bountiful crops, from which
cheaper beef may be produced for the
people CT this and other countries. With
q big, generous corn crop the coming
season, that will give the farmers and
feeders plenty of 80 cent corn to feed
next winter, prices for cattle may be
forced down considerably from their
present level, and without serious In
jury to the agricultural interests, which
are most vital to the general prosperity
of the country.

ATTITUDE TOWARD DIFFERENT ISLANDS.

Senator Hoar of Massachusetts. is a
worthy republican who cannot reconcile
himself with the attitude which the re-
publicans of the majority, find them
selves in naturally, logically, and, we
think, wisely, as to the government of
the Philippines. 1t is easy for Senator
Hoar to fall into the error of making
unjust comparisons between our con-
duct toward Cuba and that as to the
ton planned at the outset to establish a
republic; as to the other no pledges
We're made, and no future plan is in
sight beyond that of treating it is q
part of the United States, With the aim
of giving the same republican privil-
eyes as those enjoyed by the citizens
here. IL that is really accomplished
any one who assails the government OF
the islands also assails his government
at home. Republicans generally are not
sure what the future government of the
Philippines should be. They know our
nation has a great task upon its hands,
and that it cannot abandon it without
detriment to the islands 1t will be a
great task to weld all the incongruous
elements of population into one central
lied and efficient government; but the
IL,
to the work OF doing it, 1t will be ne
cessary for many years to maintain a
protectorate over the islands, and per-
haps Indefinitely. 1t is certain that
with the United States in control
greater security ngovernmentwillc come
to the Philippines, both from internal
and external foes.
The situation as to Cuba is not great
ly different While it is republic now
with a large measure of freedom, 1t is
really to a certain degree under our
government, which, thru the Plat
amendment, assumes protectorate ov-
er the island. Obscure the issue as we
may, our control over the island is alb
solute In certain matters. The differ
ence between our attitude toward the
two countries is therefore not SO great
after all.
Instead of sailing across the sea and
trying to contrast the Cuban and Phil
ippine situations. why not compare
Cuba with her new neighbor, Porto
Rico? In the latter island, under our
conditions are exceedingly
favorable. The people are satisfied to
be a part of the United States. They
are joining hands with our rulers to
make the island prosperous and the in
habitants intelligent, free and happy.
1t will be SO with the Philippines when
the people there come to understand
our aims and purposes. and no one
knows this better than Senator Hoar
Who has allowed himself TO be con-
trolled by imperiallstic fears.

Radcliff, May 23-Those of us who
have "a bad spell" every spring and
want to go fishing as bad as we did
when we were 10-year- old barefooted
boys. read the reports from Okoboji
and Clear Lake of May 10 (and that
the fishing was poor'D with much sat

day we could legally fish. No, sir; we

when we heard those fellows that
couldn't wait had poor luck it was to IS

But the correspondents vino sent out

was big fishing at Okoboji on May 18th.
The writer met one day this week G.

there on that day, hired fisherman,
who knew his business, went over to
East Okoboj and caught nineteen game
fish, the lot Weighing seventy-six
pounds. And others who knew where

use, also got good strings. There's a

young men came over from Mason City
after dinner and returned on the 7:45
car with a string of twenty nine big
croppies, four pckerel and a three
pound black bass. Another party from
Sheffield had forty weight good fish. and
q dozen more men carried home big
strings. They knew where to go, when
the wind was in the south. The writer
saw these fish, so the story is not fishy.
On the other hand, there were a couple
of tenderfoots from Grinnell up there
last Saturday, who went out and
pounded the lake, with the result OF
only three pickerel and a wall-eyed
pike, and this party would not have had

happy mother, watching her children grow
into manhood and womanhood. A mother
lives as many lives as she has children
their joys and sorrows are hers, as are
their ambitions, triumphs and defeats.
So highly is the honor of motherhood
cherished that sometimes noble women are
called upon to give their lives in its attain

birth and from the effects of miscarriage
are the real martyrs 1t takes more forti-
tude to suffer in this way than to meet
violent death in the rush and roar of a

tirely unnecessary at this age of the world,
