DIR. ANDREWS DISMAL PRO
PHECY.

In his efforts to justify the accept
ance of financial aid from the head of
the Standard Oil trust for the Univer-
sity of Nebraska Chancellor E. Benja-
min Andrews passed from a reference
to trust methods to this cheerful and
altruistic prophecy:
Society, as it becomes more en-
lightened, will SNUFF out the lives Of
sickly and deformed infants. to prevent
their becoming at maturity a burden
to it and to themselves. AS with the
cradle, so it will be with other cases.
A committee of skilled ply sicians. |
firmly believe. eventually will deter
mine the fate of those who are sickly,
or whose recovery from disease is i'm
possible. Such persons. if the physi-
clans agree, will mercifully be put to
death"
OF course a lot of allowances must
be made for a man who is reaching
out for a slice of the Standard Oil mil
lions, but it is none the less regrettable
that Mr.. Rockefeller's offer to the Uni
versity of Nebraska should have
evoked such an inhuman and ~preposter-
Gus prophecy as this from it's chancel-
lor as an argument in favor of accept.
ing the gift.
The idea of destroying the defective
and derelicts of course is not a e
one. But it is now. as always. a shock.
ing one, and because great corpora
tions crush out small ones it is folly
to argue that human society will ever
go back to a state of barbarism where
it will deliberately destroy weak. Grip.
pied or blind babies.
AS a matter of fact the care and
solicitude which such babies require
sweeten and leaven the race. They
are an inspiration to ~gentleness. teach.
ing the human race to be kind and
merciful. They help to keep the race
from dropping to the level Of the brute
creation. The affectionate care bestow.

blind members of the flock is an i'm.
pressive sermon upon the common kin,

DENIED.

The secretary of the interior has de
MED the application Of Mr.. John Hun
ton of Fort Laramie for repayment of
fees and commissions in the case Of
his timber culture entry. The case
was taken to the secretary upon an ap-
peal from the general land Office.
Mr.. Hunton about fifteen years ago
made a timber culture entry and sub
%sequently came to the conclusion that
there a too much natural timber up
OIL the section in question to permit OF
his making proof under the law. He
accordingly relinquished and afterward
made application for the return of his
money as stated. The commissioner
of the general land office ruled that
the application did not come within
the provisions of the law relating to re-
payment on filings and in
this he was sustained by the secretary
of the interior.

kets in fact shows that beef on the
hoof cost from 81 to SO more per 100
pounds eighteen months ago than to-
day. The inquiry confirms the state
ments of Secretary Wilson. however.
that the prices of choice sirloins. ten
derloins and ordinary cuts of steak for
consumption in Chicago are almost
identical with the scale of prices that
pI Prevailed in 1902. There has been no
reduction in retail prices to correspond
with the decreased cost of cattle on the
hoof. In other centers Of distribution,
particularly in the northwest. where
the power of the beef trust is greater
than in Chicago, and where the indie
pendent retailer has been forced out
of business, the exactions Of the pack
ers' agents are more fragrant INT the
profit levied upon the consumer is
greater.
The market quotations and the state
ments of the secretary of agriculture
reveal a condition that invites the ser.
ious attention of the consumers. espec-
tally if it is true that where indepen.
dent dealers are still in business they
manage to cut the big packers prices.
That has a most important bearing or
the discussion, since the packers have
a manifest advantage in the sales of
nv odu and in economy Of work
and distribution.
If this difference of prices is proved,
and if the fact hat the consumer is
paying 20 per cen more for beef than
he ought to pay is due to the existence
of a combine among the packers and
retailers. an effective remedy should
he found and vigorously applied with
out delay.-Record-Herald

CHEAPER CATTLE BUT DEAR
BEEF.

Somewhere between the consumer OF
beef and the farmer who produces i,
there is a 'rake-off" that Is out of all
reasonable proportion to the just re
market. Either the farmer is getting
too little for his beef or the consumer
is paying too much.
These are the inevitable deductions
to be drawn from the statements OF
James Wilson, secretary of agriculture,
regarding the present price of beef on
the hoof and the prices that are charg.
ed by the retailers. The secretary, in.
deed, does not leave the consumer to
draw any vague deductions. He makes
the explicit statement that beef
should be 20 per cent cheaper to the
consumer than it is now"
Such a statement, coming from Sec
rotary Wilson, must be based Of course
on accurate information as to what is
being paid farmers and stockmen for
cattle on the hoof. Investigation re-
veals the fact that fat cattle are not
SO dear as they we're a few years ago,
yet the retailers are getting as much
beef as they did when cattle on the
hoof we're selling at fancy figures. In
der the present organization Of the
beef industry the retailers" are the
hackers Tha small independent deal. |
