THE BEEF TRUST
WORK OF THIS TRUST IS EX.
PLANNED IN CONGRESS.
Congressman Martin Calls Attention Of the
Nation to the Exactions Of an illegal
Trust. Why Not Enforce the Law?

Representative Martin of South
Dakota, speaking before the house COM
mittee on interstate commerce, made an
interesting showing concerning the
operations of the beef trust. According
to Mr.. Martins statement the facts
appear as follows:
The price of cattle since early in 1908
fell until last December, when it reached
the lowest price in five years.
The price Of dressed beef during the
first six months OF 1908 correspond
ingly declined; but about the first Of
July it began to recover, and during the
fall OF 1898 it reached a point, at which
the spread between the price Ct cattle
and dressed beef was from $l2 to $l5-a
difference greater than any preceding
record.
Dressed beef is bringing as much now
as in 1901, while cattle are much lover.
Consequently, there is great loss to
producers OF cattle in the west. Many Of
the st ockmen have become embarrassed
at the present condition OF affairs, hich
cannot be attributed to natural causes.
The foreign market for American beef
is good, and the local market is probably
the best in many years.
In August 1908, the price OF dressed
beef was $S.371a per 100 pounds, although
| it cost but $5l7 on the hoof. :;
In February, 1901, dressed beef sold at
the same price, but beef on the hoof
cost $3.50.
In one instance cattle raiser shipped
consignment to the Chicago stock yalds.
He found no competition VIII stever, and,
in fact, the absence OF a real market. This
cattle raiser called on the various con.
Germs. but secured bid from only one.
He finally accepted this. His curiosity
had been aroused, and he resolved to see
what the reason was that they did not
bid. That night the steers sold to the
one firm by this cattle raiser were
separated into seven equal lots and dis
tributed among the seven different
concerns.
In the face Of this showing what do
the republicans purpose doing? They
propose to authorize the secretary OF
commerce and labor to investigate in
order to determine whether a trust
exists. That fact is already clearly
shown by the affidavits filed by the
federal law officers in the injunction pro-
ceedings against the beef combine.
These republican leaders realize, how.
ever that something must be done by
way Of pretense at remedying the evil,
and so they have provided for an investi.
CATION that will be, necessarily, long
drawn out. 1t is wholly unnecessary
investigation. because the facts are
already clearly set forth in the papers
filed in the federal court at Chicago.
If these republican leaders were
sincere, if they really intended to curb
the beef trust, instead of providing for g
long drawn out investigation they would
instruct the attorney general to COM
mence criminal proceedings and cal
every one OF these different trust mag
mates before court OF justice. under the
} criminal clause Of the Sherman anti
trust law.

MARRY IN HASTE.

The fact is, that too many girls have
a blind paniky desire to be married,
without much regard to the sort Of
man they take, and simply for the
sake Of being married, says an ex-
change. The excitement and eclat of
the wedding, the idea of having a
home of their own, and all the rest of
/, it, dazzles their eyes until they can
not see clearly. Foolish girls What
is the use of getting married unless
you are going to be happyl And you
are not going to be happy if you have
to live with a husband who finds that
you have cheated him in a dozen di-
vious ways.
He supposed your cheek was pure
rose and your forehead pure lily. He
finds that you bought the rose and
lily at the druggist s, and spent dis
gracefully large portion of your time
applying them skillfully. He finds
that your figure is very largely a com
mercial enterprise, so TO speak. If you
have musical accomplishment (Which
cannot well be counterfeited-so that
he feels tolerably sure about them-he
finds that you practice them only until
you have Gagged your game and
then are too lazy to keep them up

Of duping him and getting him to

marriage, and you become careless

been fooled in this way is not to be

Take my advice, girls. There may

SAVED
FROM
BUCK

st. Louis, Nov. s.-Adolphus Busch,
the wealthy brewer, saved his eldest
son, Augustus, from death when he
was pinioned to the earth between the
antlers of an enraged buck.
Mr.. Busch and party visited the deer
preserve on the old Grant farm, st.
Louis county, in the afternoon. A hun
dred or more deer were in the enclos-
ure. In the party was Frank Parrisoa,
Is years old, who first incurred the dis
pleasure of the buck, and the animal
charged him. Augustus A. Busch went
to the lads assistance, and the buck
turned on him, pinioning Busch to the
ground with his antlers Fortunately
these were wide spreading, and one
passed on each side of his body.
Adolphus Bosch clubber him
with the gun he was car
rying, and finally succeeded in
beating the buck back so that Angus
tus could get to his feet. The latter
seized a gun from another member of
the party, and discharged its contents
into the body of the deer, killing it..
Augustus was badly bruised, but no
wise seriously injured.

created for those products, in latitude'

tion.
Our home consumption Of wheat foI
food is over FIVE bushels a year for each
of our sO,OOO,OOO people. The per capita
consumption of this food is steadily in.
creasing-due perhaps to the fact that
higher prices for meats stimulate the
consumption of the cereals. If, here
after, Canada shall supply part Of this
wheat, while our farmers devote their
attention to crops that yield better cash
returns, who shall say that we are the
losers7
During the past three years, while
our exports have averaged fourteen hun
dred million dollars, the farmers have
furnished about nine hundred million
dollars worth Of the products sent
abroad. These exports nave been the
sheet-anchor of our financial safety in
this era of imitation and speculation.
If Canada now comes in as a com
petitor, we may rest assured that one
way or another we will derive the lion 8
share of the benefit
Every emigration from the United
States to the new Canadian Northwest

turn to the American union some day,

CHRISTIANS SAVED

sured them of his ability to control
the situation, but there was doubt as
to whether he could do so, especially
as it semed likely that the revolution
lists would become active. All day the
soldiers paraded the streets, shooting,
clubbing and stabbing Christians
wherever found. The people had, how
ever, shut themselves up in houses or
in mission premises so but five were
killed, although a number were wound
ed. The missionaries and the consuls
were able to secure a promise from the
leaders that they would leave the city.
This promise was kept and the trouble
died down. The resident Of Van who
sent the advices to the Presbyterian
board says that the great danger, and
it is an ever-present danger, lay in a
probable rising of the Kurds. If they
had come into the city, according to
this informant, nothing could have pre-
vented a massacre, both in the city and
the villages. They had been waiting
for months for an opportunity to
strike. But in response to the fre-
quent kilograms sent by the consuls to
Constantinople, strong orders came for
bidding the entrance into the city of
the Hamidia Kurds-the Sultan 8

A recent disturbance between Mos
lens and Armenians in Van, Turkey
would in all likelihood have grown into
a riot and perhaps a massacre OF Ar
menians, had it not been for the pres
ence of the American consul from Har'
put, DR.. Thomas H. Norton. Details
of the trouble are learned from adj
vices Just received by the Presbyterian
board of foreign missions. 1t seems
that the trouble was started by the
deposition of four Moslem officials by
the Vail and for the purpose of even
ing themselves by making trouble for
him the four and their friends started
gun firing in the streets, in which one
Moslem was killed. The soldiers in
the city, already in half rebellious
state, took up the matter and marched
through the streets shooting at Chist-
ians. The whole place was thrown into
an uproar of fear and excitement and
a thousand Armenians fed to the mis-
sionary compound.
The English consul was absent, but
it happened that DR.. Norton was there
and the American flag was flying over
the mission compound. With the
French and Russian consuls and sew
eral American missionaries, DR.. Nor
ton called on the Val. The latter as
