to maintain its monopoly. An
Injunction was issued by a
Federal Judge against the Beef
Trust forbidding it to do these
illegal things, but it is a motor
iOus fact that the trust defied
the commands of the United
States courts, and not a step
was taken by the government to
punish it for contempt, so fear
full was President Roosevelt that
such action would cause the
trust and it's friends to oppose
his election. Therefore the peO-
pie will be compelled either to
fOregO the eating of meat or to
pay the trust an exOrbitant price
for it until such time as Con-
gress meets and they can force
their representatives to repeal
the duty on all food animals and
dressed meats. The monopoly
which the Beef Trust now enjoys
to the injury of American con-
Sumers is sheltered in the exist
tariff, the high rates of
which prohibit the importation
of meat from Canada. The plac-
of cattle, sheep, hogs and
dressed meats on the free list
is the only way to destroy the
monopoly of the Beef Trust, and
out of the present strike will
come an irresistible demand
the people that slch action
be taken by Congress with the
least possible delay.

The habit of treating those who
are nearest and dearest to us with
discOurtesy, is one that clouds
the sunshine of too many homes.
II you are young and looking for
a prince, just test his home con-
duct. Do not be guided in your
choice by what a young man is
in the parlor; find out what he is
in his mothers sitting room. Do
not Judge him by the way he can
tip his hat, but by the way he
treats the old, especially his pa
rents. The home where mutual
consideration rules is always a
happy one, if it be the top fat of
a cheap tenement or an abode
hut on the prairies. There should
be a certain respect observed in
the most intimate relationships.
Wives have no more right to
search their husbands pockets
than they have to take the same
liberty with an acquaintance.
We have no more right to rob
the baby's bank than to force the
vault of the national bank. We
may hurt the feelings of a society
acquaintance and there is no
great harm done, beyond es-
arrangement of two people who
care but little for each other; but
when we stab the fond mothers
heart, that loved US with love
next in tenderness to heavens or
wound the sensitive feelings of a
brother or a sister. life is not long
enough to extract the sting from
Loves opportunity will
soon vanish forever and out
the sunset of life; those
we love dearest and best have
flown away like birds to a sum-
mer land and our words of en-
are thrust back like
voices that beat against a wall of
rock. -Weekly Herald.
