Robbery Rx Chicago Rutchers.

The Chicago Chronicle enters the
following complaint:
1t is but a little more than year
since the price of beef on the hoof
was the highest--witll one exception
ever known at the Union stock yards.
Prime beeves reached $500 per 100
pounds and the consequent advance in
the price of meat to the consumer
caused an agitation which led to the
federal prosecution of the so-called
meat trust.
Prices of live beef are today almost
So per 100 pounds lower than those of
the period named. Stock raisers are
losing much money on their ship
mentS to this market and to eastern
markets. Commission men are adj
vising their clients to withhold ship
ments until better prices are attain
ed. Beef on the hoof is almost at its
lowest. Dressed beef by the carcass
has sustained n CORRESPONDING de-
cline.
Yet the individual consumer, the
householder, the small family, the
purchaser who cannot afford to buy
at wholesale is compelled to pay prac-
tically the same price for good to
choice cuts of beef as were paid when
when live cattle were 80 Is per cent
higher than they are today. If there
has been any reduction in price it is
so small as to be imperceptible. The
small consumer has not shared in the
benefits of low-priced beeves.
In other words, the retail butcher
who last summer swore that he adj
vanced price because of the high price
of cattle is now charging the same
outrageous prices, though live. cattle
and dressed beef have decreased in
price one-third. He is 'hogging" the
difference between last summers live
stock prices and those that obtain
this year.
1t is just as well to bear these
facts in mind when the family butch
err makes his conventional whine
about the meat trust" compelling
him to charge high prices. 1t is not
the meat trust, but the retail butcher,
who is responsible for the robbery
that is being practiced. The quota
tions speak for themselves.

Democrats Can Elect President.

But admitting that the democrats
will nominate a man who will be ac-
ceptable to both factions of the DEM
ocratic party, whose election will not
threaten the stability of manufacture
ing interests, and who stands for all
that is honest and good in admins
tration. will the democrats then have
a chance to elect him to the high of
fee of president? The answer must
necessarily be in the affirmative.
There is discomfort over the domino
ton of the trusts; there is the fric-
tion and disappointment incident to
the distribution of patronage; there
is the feeling of resentment which
certain representatives of corpora
tions feel because the president has
not spared them from suffering the
Just execution of the laws. There
are number of factors in the polit-
zeal situation which will operate adj

west for the second place on the re-
publican ticket with Roosevelt, is an
Ohio man by birth, but was reared in

he made speech at big dinner
given by Senator Perkins, of CalifOr-
mia, and in talking of his early strug-
giles. he said that he used to travel
with a threshing machine in the
Sucker state. Before the dinner was
over other admissions from senator's
present were that some had plOwed
corn and worked in the harvest field.

4 certain well-to-do New Yorker
purchased d lot far uptown some 80
years ago-at least it was far up
town then. He paid his taxes on the
place yearly, and sometimes wonder
ed why he kept it. Long before he
had purchased it man had built a
little shanty on the place, and there
he has squatted ever since. No one
bothered him, and he raised a large
family several of whom are now in
business for themselves. Recently
the owner decided to retire from bus
mess entirely. so he sold the lot at
private sale for a price vastly in adj
vance of what he paid. The new
owner is the man who has lived there
rent free for so years.

FAVORS THE BEAUVOIR HOME
PLAN.

Editor The Brandon News,
Dear Sir:-I have read with a great
deal of surprise and interest the sever
al articles in the recent issue of your
valuable paper opposing an appropria-
tion by the legislature for the sup
port of the Soldiers Home. must
admit that I cannot credit such oppo-
sition to SO laudible a cause, except
that there isVa misconception of the
purpose which prompted the sons and
daughters of the confederacy to pro-
vide home for the, INDECENT and in
firmed confederate veterans. / want
to say that it was not their intention
in the purchase of this home for>it to
be used for the veterans who had rela-
tives or friends, or one who is legally
or morally bound to provide, or care
for him, nor was it intended in ten
dering it to the State that it should
supptant any pensions that are now
or might in the future be provided,
but instead is haven for the poor
old hero who is bsreft of children,
relatives and friends and is suffering
from the ravages of disease and the
infirmities old age is heir to, which
incapacitates from earning his main
tainance and necessitates his being a

i burden ON charitable community.
The writers of these oppositional arti-
cles favor an increase in pension, this
is very commendable and is badly
needed, as the state is now giving the
veterans $32 year. would like to
ask them even if we succeed in get
ting pension for $3.50 year would
they or either of them be willing to
burden their homes with the cares
necessary to the comfort of an old vet
eran who is the victim of disease, old
age, the attending infrmities that ac-
company either or both when he has
no claim either legally or morally On
he or his family for the meager pit
tance of $3.50 per year. AS to the
increase intaxation this appropriation
would necessitate, beg to say for
their information, that basing an ap-
preparation of $50, 900 per annum upon
the amount of the taxable property of
the state, and distributing this ardu-
Gus burden ratably with the amount
of taxable property one has, it would
amount to one-eighth of mill on the
dollar, and basing it on the per capita
of the state it would amount to
about one cent each, and I say can
didly if there is one who is so ut
terly devoid of sympathy to oppose
the granting of the widows might
to any charitable cause he should be
relegated to the rear and bow his
head in disgrace and shame, appealing
for sympathy to forgiving Almighty,
for he shall certainly not receive con-
dolence from the sires and sons of the
grand old state of Mississippi. I can
not comprehend how any one would
ask the question ''Sons of veterans
are you tired of having the old man
around, etc. - I blush to think that
any son would by self-indulgence al
low himself to be such conscience
less migrate as to fail to provide for
the comforts of the aged parent. But
the soldiers home is for the protec-
tion whose sons come in this class and
who have no one to care for them.
1t is very charitable idea suggested
in one of these articles for the sons
and daughters of the confederacy to
still labor to provide means by accept
ing contributions from those of our
citizens whose sense of gratitude and
patriotism is still aglow, and who
give cheerfully to charitable causes
rather than have an appropriation
from the state at large, thereby COM
pelling those who have allowed their
sense OF right and Justice to shoulder,
