SMITH WASN'T PUT OUT
Senator just QuarreIed With
Head Waiter, This Is All.

Senator Fred Smith is in disfavor with
the head waiter at the Copeland hotel.
the dominating genius of the eating de
partment of the hotel 1t is all because
Smith didn't want to sit where the waiter
wanted him to or because the waiter put
somebody else in what Smith considered
his private, individual and personal place
at dinner Monday evening. AS Smith
started down the dining room the head
waiter was i'll the act of placing couple
at a table where he was accustomed to
eat.
Smith went back to the door and waylaid
the head waiter on his return. The head
waiter said Smith could sit somewhere
else. The senator told the waiter that
was probably true, but that he didn t
propose to do so any more and he volun-
teered description of the functionary in
language ordinarily calculated for the
electrifcation of the senate. Smith later
ate his dinner at a table specified by the
dining room autocrat. Smith says the
story that he was bodily elected from the
dining room is libel circulated by his
political enemies
The story told is that Smith threatened
the waiter with personal violence and in
a minute after found himself outside the
dining room. This might have happened.
for John c. A. Kelly, the head waiter, is
an expire fighter.

THEY WILL SUE.
Police Department Decide to
Prosecute DIR. Mcfarland.

AS the result of an important confer
ence held this morning, it is announced
that suit for libel viii be commenced
as soon as possible in the district court
by either Chief Tim Donovan or Police
man c. D. Miller against DR. j. T. Nc
Farland, pastor of the First Methodist
church. The conference was held by
Mayor Parker, Chief Donovan and sew
eraI officers and members of the city
council.
When told today of the plans of the
police department. DR.. Mcfarland said:
IF the members of the police force
want to commence a libel suit all right.
That is their privilege. But such an
investigation of the charges which I
made viii not bring before the public
the true condition of the police depart
ment. I think that the city council as
a whole should take up the matter, and
have public Investigation.
Il am informed by my attorneys that
the council has the authority to compel
the attendance OF witnesses in such
cases, and to conduct the investigation
in all respects similar to a judicial in~
vestigation. That is what the people
of Topeka want If the council finds
that there is not evidence to sustain The
charges which 1 have made, then it viii
be time for the policemen to bring their
libel suits"
Mayor Parker was asked today who
would act as the representatives of the
police force in the proposed legal pr0~
ceedinss-
THAT hasn't been decided said he.
but ] Should Judge that it would be
either Chief Donovan. o. Policeman =.
D. Miller. Mr.. Miller has not been spo-
ken to about it. and he might not be
willing to appear as plaintiff in such a
suit. He is mentioned simply because
he IS a representative member of the
force, and has served on the force for a
good many years. He knows what has
been the custom in preceding admins
trations"
when viii the suit be commenced ?"
THAT has not been settled. but it will
be as soon as we can arrange Cor it.
There's no great rush But it seems to
be the general opinion of the policemen
that a hearing in the district court is
the only fair way of getting at the facts
in the case ! don't see how Mr. Nc
Farland can object to a hearing before
the court, if he Is sincere in his express
ed desire for a fair and impartial inves-
tigation."

with the offal. The claim is constantly
made that the big packing companies
have established economies which were
not possible under the individual sys-
tenn, and that consumers are sharing
IN these economies. But consumers
have reasonable doubts as to this when
they meet their bills, and feel that the
meat merger is making the same old
stereotyped argument about economies
shared by the people that has been put
forward since sO-called trusts began
to operate on a large scale. The econ
omies are pOeketed by the combina-
tons; that is why they are established.
Judging from the attacks of the cattle
raisers the producers of the raw ma
teria1 have had no more share in them
than the consumers.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.

Has the Beef Trust Tumbled Down |?
Boston Evening Journal:
Is the power of the Beef Trust
broken? Have some cogs slipped in its
mighty maehine2
Something, at any rate, seems to have
brought a quick and large relief to
Boston. Journal reporters who go
around among the butcher stalls have
found that there has come a sharp re-
duction in the price of beef and meats
generally. and that these substantial
articles of food are as excellent in quail
ity as they are tempting in price.
Roasts, for example. that were selling
a week before at IL to IS cents a pound
had come down to 8 and II cents;
others. from 1214 cents to 10 cents and
others still from IL cents to Is cents.
Choicest sirlOin steaks had fallen from
% cents to % cents a pound, and other
varieties from 25 to . cents or 30 and %
to % cents. Moreover, the Boston
butchers say that the beef now coming
forward is better than they have seen
for several years.
After all. this is only what the wise
men Of the Beef Trust have anticipated
and predicted. They have declared all
along that the high price of meats was
only temporary, that it was due, in part
al least, to natural causes beyond the
exactions Of the mighty trusts. and that
Just as soon as the new corn crop began
to be fed out meats would come down
TO earth again. within the easy reach Of
everyday people.
This is what is happening now. There
was good crop OF grass in the western
country, and also a good crop of grain.
Food for the vast western herds is
again abundant, and cattle raising for
the eastern market has become once
more a profitable and increasing in
dustry-
So, go around and see your butcher
once more and look his inviting stock
over Stop reading jeremiads about the
Beef Trust and it's awful purpose to
starVe the people whom the Coal Trust
is freezing. There may be q Beef Trust
Attorney General Knox thinks he has
discovered it-but somehow it appears
to have lost its grip on you and your
neighbors- The waving empires of
grain harvested in this past autumn be-
yond the Mississippi have knocked the
last excuse of the Beef Trust from be-
meath tiff there was an excuse The
people of the east can now afford to go
to eating beef and lamb and mutton
again, and the horny handed western
farmers can afford to feed their steers
and purchase more-sO many more that
no combine" can hope to mOnopolize
all the cattle that come pouring III
from farms and ranges.

sTOCKMEN AND THE MERGER.
President Springer of the National
Live Stock association in his annual
address at Kansas city said when
speaking of the proposed packing house
merger;
Never before was such an unholy
combination attempted. Not content
with amassing colossal fortunes in the
pest two decades from the stock rails
ers of the west. the same packers now
blossom out as would-be dictators. Let
us pronounce sentence that if the mer-
ger is formed, it can operate It's $500. p
000,0 600 merger without cattle. without
sheep and without hogs. for we own
the raw material and we viii refuse to
sell to any packing house combine
Commenting on the remarks Of Pres
fdent Springer the Milwaukee Wiscon-
sin says.
IF the cattle raisers were to take
this stand, in the event of the consum-
nation of the proposed merger. retail
butchers would have an opportunity
to buy and sell as Of old when they
picked out their cattle and led them
e shambles. and did the best they could
