Tho Live Stock sau.bble.

The split in the National Live
Stock Association over the question
of admitting the railroads and pack
ers to membership suggests the old
problem of what happens when an
irresistible force strikes an immov
able body. The organization is di-
>ided and it is more than probable
that its usefulness is ended The
cattle, horse and swine growers have
teceeded and formed new associa-
ton, while the sheep growers, com
mission men and stock yards inte
rests have remained behind, retain
ing the old name, admitting the
packers aud providing a way by
which the railroads may become i'm
portant factors in the control of the
organization.
The whole affair is to be regretted,
not only by the men whose interests
are directly involved, but by the
people of the West who are init
mately concerned in the develop
meut Of the live stock business. In
the past the National Live Stock
Association has been potent in
fuence in shaping the course Of the
business It has worked to secure
better conditions, better prices and
better legislation affecting its inte-
rests. 1t mas taken a firm stand
against the encroachments of the
Beef Trust, and fought for better
terms from the railroads for ship
pers.
OF course, in doing all this it has
had it's hands fvll. The packing
combine, which controls the live
stock market, will fight to the finish
to maintain its control, and in this
convention it has shown its resource
fulness by trying to gain control OF
the association itself. The trick
was shrewd one. Once the Beef
Trust gained representation in the
councils of the association it would
be able to nullify many of the meas
ures directed against it. Imagine
the stock men in convention assem-
bled fighting the combination which
keeps down the price of their pro
duct, when that combination itself
is represented by delegation on
the floor Of the convention, with Is

pemoora. for Roessve

A peculiar incident happened in
the meeting of the Virginia presi-
Dental electors. When it Was NOV
ed that the body proceed to vote for
q president, State Senator w. p.
Bsrksdsle, one Of the electors at,
large, arose and made a short speech
in which he said that the college
was not fiee, as was intended, to
vote as its members might see fit,
but must ballot in accordance with
the mandates of the party. We're
he free and untrameled he would rot
vote for Parker, but as more than
$4,000 democrats of the state had
cast their ballots for him, he bowed
to their will.
"If it was a safe democracy" he
said, then it was insane. Eighty
thousand people went to the polls
and voted, while 10000 resented
the insult and management of the
campaign by the men who four yeais
ago turned their backs on Bryan"
Mr.. Barksdale did not say that he
would vote for Roosevelt, but did
say that Roosevelt was fast becom-
ing good democrat, and that if he
came further down the road the
democrats would gladly name him
as their standard-bearer. For one,
the speaker would welcome the pres
ident into democratic ranks.
While this expression Of individu
al opinion is not to be taken as voic
ing the general sentiment of the
democrats of Virginia or of the south
yet it is fact that there has been,
since the election reaction of feel
ing toward the president in many of
the southern states.
This change Of opinion is due in
part to the revelation Of the general
weakness as candidate Of Judge
Parker, and the conviction that the
Southern democrats had been led
upon a political wild goose chase by
their northern party associates.
But it is also due to the fact that
the southern sentiment against
Roosevelt, of which we heard so
much in the weeks proceeding the
election, was fictitious one, worked
up BY the politicians for the purpose
of holding southern voters in line in
support of candidate and a plat
form that they did not genuinely ap-
prove.
With the passing of the election
crisis, the real sentiments of the
southern people are coming to light,
and there is nothing in the president,
either as a man or.as statesman, to
warrant any feeling of resentment or
prejudice, or to justify any other
sentiment IN the south than the uni.
versal respect and admiration in

cattIem on and the Beef Trust.


Cattlemen are certainly not called
upon to extend sympathy to the
beef trust, which is a combination
that has held the live stock industry
by the throat ever since the trust
was formed.
To force down the price Of cattle
is the prime purpose OF the combin-
alton, and it has been done in conse-
/ quence of an agreement among the
members of the trust to refrain from
bidding against one another. They
are practically the only bidders, and
if they refuse to pay for cattle what
they were really worth, the owners
have to accept the lower price offer
ed.
The effect has been highly injur
ious and not far from disastrous.
Cattle growers have had more to
contend with than in earlier years
because of the scarcity of good
range. The expense of conducting
their business has been increased by
winter feeding; and while this has
prevented some of the heavy losses
formerly common, the outlay in
money has been greater. High
freight rates charged by railroad
companies are part of the cost of
placing cattle on the market; and al
together, circumstances have made it
necessary for cattle growers to Sc
cure good prices for their stock or
fall short Of adequate profits on their
business.
Notwithstanding this, and posi-
bly, in a measure because of it, the
beef trust has forced down the price
Of cattle until it has become ques
ton whether a man can afford to
continue in the business. In
measure this has, on the part of the
trust, been killing the goose which
laid the golden egg; but the mem
bers OF that combination care more
for present profits than for future
possibilities.
1t is doubtful if any relief can be
obtained for this evil except through
the enforcement of the anti trust
laws by the federal government.
Proceedings are pending now before
the supreme court Of the United
States with that object in view, and
every cattlemen has reason to hope
that the conrt will decide the trust
to be an unluwful combination.
The cattlemen, however, are not
the only people who are interested.
Consumers of meat have to pay high
prices because the trust has forced
up the price of beef. 1t crowds out
competitors, and since its members
will not bid against one another, the
public has no alternative. 1t must
pay the price which the trust e1-

To the Editor-Having been one of
the jurors before whom was tried the
GattiS VS.. Kilgo case in the fall of 1901

surprised to see IN your issue of No
vember 30th that at the Conference in

was called the presiding elder said
there is nothing against Mr.. Gatts
except that he went to law with his
brethren without making an effort to
settle the matter complained of in the
church To those who heard that
trial the statement sounds queer, when
witnesses teScti6ed that before the
suit was brought Mr.. Gattis went to

members of the Conference. Rev r. 3.

and then it was amended by Kilgo.
and Mr.. Gattis stated that though it
was not as full a retraction as he
ought to have made, still for the sake
of harmony in the church he would
accent and sign it. But Mr.. Sw'ndel
told him Kilgo would keep the paper
and read it at Conference. but he.
Kilgo, was not willing Mr.. Gatts
shonId have a copy. And therefore
Mr. Gattis said he would sign no such
paper. / thought it but fair to all
parties that public attention should be
called to this fact and the record
should be kept straight.
