excepting the two Adamses was given
a second term, Harrison died one
month after his Inauguration, and
Taylor ir the second year Of his admin
istratiou. Van Buren,, Tyler, Polk, FIJI
more, Pierce and Buchanan were retired
at the emu of their first term. Lincoln's
reelection broke this record of many
years. Grant and Mckinley also
received the endorsement of "A second
term which was not given to Hayes,
Arthur, Cleveland or Harrison, though
Cleveland enjoyed the exceptional honor
a later return to the White House.
Of all the one-term presidents, Hayes
is the only one who did not make siren
nous efforts for reelection. He
announced in advance that he did not
desire any second term. IL is a notable
fact that no vice president who by the
death Of the. president has succeeded to
the executive office, has been allowed a
second term. Roosevolt's enemies are
making great account of shis circum-
stance and citing it as III evil angury
for him. They contend that an unwrit-
ten law of orr republic as potent and
binding as. that other unwritten law
forbidding n third presidential term,
enacts that none of these accidental
presidents shall succeed himself.
These prophets of disaster to Roose-
Welt do not take into accoant the pecul-
lar circumstances which have pre-
vented the endorsement by reelection
of these presidents, who owed their
office to, the death of the man elected to
it, rather than to the free choice of the
people. Tyler and johnson rendered
| themselves obnoxious 10 their party,
| johnson 10 much 80, thet he narrowly
escaped impeachment . Fillmore and
| Arthur were the choice of a faction of
their party, thrust upon it by political
bosses from motives OF expe diency.
None Of these objections applies to
| Theodore Roosevelt. He accepted the
second place on the ticket reluctantly
and at the urgent solicitation OF a great
majority of the republican leaders Hs
preferred the g~overnorship of the great
state OF New York to the comparatively
insignificant Office of vice president
MeKinley's assassination, which made
him president. was an event as nuch
deplored by him as by the great body
of the American people.
Even Mr.. Roosevelt's lukewarm sup
porters admit that he is the stronges
man who Fan be placed on the repub
lican ticket, and declare that it is use
less to contend against his manifest DIES
tiny. They urge all factions OF TIT
party 10 rally to his support, SO tina
republicanism may present q solid from
against its northern antagonists and nj
almost solid south which seeks its over
throw.

STOCKMEN ROARING.
Not Getting Benefit of
High Prices for Beef.
AS a Result Secretary of Com
MERGE Is Asked to Ascertain
Whether There Is q Combine
of Packing Houses.

Every good housewife wants to
know the reason for the present high
price of meat. 1t is well known that
cattle have been cheaper during the
past four or five years than in any
period for a long time, and there has
been no corresponding reduction on
price of fresh meat"
This is what Representative Martin of
South Dakota said February 4th in
commenting upon his resolution which
directs the secretary of MINER ''to
investigate the causes of the low price
of beef in the United States since July
/, 1908, and
In Unusually Large Margin
between the prices of beef cattle and the
selling prices of fresh beef, find whether
these conditions have resulted il whole
or in part from any contract, combi-
nation in the form of trust or otherwise,
or conspiracy in restraint of commerce
among the states and territories.
MIR. Martin does not pose as Il trust
buster He represents a cattle state,
and frequent complaints come to him
that the stockmen are not sharing the
harvest now being reaped by the large
packing houses. He proposes that the
machinery of the department Of com
merce shall be used to ascertain whether
the high price of beef is the result of a
combination, and if such combination is
so conducted as to prevent free compe-
tition and thus deprive stock raisers of
a fair price for their product.
Serious For Stockmen.
The present condition of affairs is a
very serious one among stockmen, and
many cattle feeders throughout the
central western states" said Represen-
tative Martin. IA great many of them
have gone into financial bankruptcy,
and all have sustained very serious
financial embarrassment. The act
creating sle department Of
provides for Investigations along the
lines of interstate commerce. The pur-
pose of my resolution is TO disclose the
facts, locate the trouble and pave the
way for proper administrative steps &
bring about normal conditions and free
competition. As far as / have been able
to determine there is no good reason for
the present high price of fresh beef. L
have gone into this question with great
care, and feel assured that if a thorough
investigation is made it will disclose an
interesting state of affairs. Pioneer

HARD FOUGHT BATTLE.
Alma Won From Kalamazoo by "a Score OF
IL toe.

Alma won her first intercollegiate
tSpt ball game of the season. Saturday.
&feating Kalamazoo 10 to 6, in one of
the hardest gridiron battles ever fought
on Davis Field. The game was an
exciting one from start to finish and
was not won until the referees whistle
blew for time up at the close of the game.
The two teams were about even in
weight. but Almas playing both on
offense and defense, was superior. The
crippled condition of the home team
makes the victory even more glorious.
Every Alma man put up a magnificent
fight and played as though it we're the
game of his life.
Captain Schenck was the hero Of the
day, breaking his thumb in the early
part of the game, bat never giving up
for an instant when the accident occurred
or calling for time once during the
game. Carr was suffering from an
injured ankle, which was hurt in prac-
tice few nights before, and played the
whole game under the most trying cir
cumstances. McOollum and Johnson
also played against odds, not having re-
covered from injuries which they had
received in practice.
Kazoo kicked off to Alma on the start,
and on the very first play the ball was
fumbled and Kazoo's left end got the
pigskin and ran 20 yards for touch
down in just 20 seconds after the game
began.
But the home boys were not dsheart-
ened after their misfortune and went
into il determined TO win. For the next
ten minutes the two teams swayed back
and forth at the middle of the field until
finally Alma by steady gains got 20
Kazoo's three yard line and johnson
was pushed over for a touchdown.
Schenck kicked goal and the score was
tied.
The second was a repetition Of the
first to a great extent, the ball changing
hands frequently on punts and downs.
With but four minutes left TO play when
Alma was on her opponents 20 yard
line, Schultz tore away for spectac ular
run and touchdown. The crowd went
wild and pandemonium reigned supreme
Schenck made fine punt out to John
son and then kicked goal, making the
score ~ to 6. The line up:
