BETTER BUSINESS METHODS
WHAT is NEEDED.

Some time ago the President
appointed "a commission of tried
men iu the government service to
investigate the methods of the eN-
ccutivc departments Of the gov
rrnmeut. There isabuudant room
for investigation and reform, not
that there is extensive graft in
the government. although there IS
too much of that. but because the
methods of every department Of
the government are unbus.uess-
like. They have never been re-
formed since the days of thu spoiis
system, when il WAS not question
of how economically given
amount of work could brprform"d
but of how many places "a given
aAouut of work would afford am
excuse for. 1t is only n few years
ago when a prominent member Of
the cabinet always applied to
Congress for three or four moro
employees TO perform amy work he
wanted to undertake than he re-
Lnrded necessary. BY means of
the extra places which were doIed
ont to,thr brothers. mother=-iu-law.
sisters. cousins and aunts OF mem
beers of Congress, he secured the
appropriation Of the amount of
money he wanted and the people
puid many times the actual cost of
the actually useless work. The
relatives of the members of con
gross usually performed no labor
other than to drw their pay.
With the cNieusiou OF civil -nr-
vice reform this sort of thing is ut
am end but the evils remain and
In numerous instances There may
be found Sis clerks performing
work that ia amy w.I regulated
husinrss house would hr done by
three. or that woulI be better NOT
done at all. This. of course. is
only one of the many phases ot re
form that are needed and which.
it is hoped. the new commits
sion will ferret ont and bring TO
the attention of the President.

LIVE STOCK MARKET.

Denver Union Stock Yards.
August II All markets reported
"a very good run of cattle on hand
this morning and prices Just about
steady with the close of last week
The supply here was quite liberal
but there was good active demand
for anything good and all sold at
steady prices, with some sales
looking shade higher than on
saturday. The supply here last
week was light but about normal
for this time OF the year. Pack
rrs and butchers were all wanting
beef to put in their coolers and
competition early in the week was
brisk with the result that prices
advanced about p cents. The
late trade. however. showed most
of this advance lost. and at the
close values were Just about steady
TO perhaps II little stronger than
the close OF the preceding week
The uudertone to the trading.
however. was much better. and at
no time during the week was the
market druggy. Good killing cat
tie are in excellent demand but
buyers are still Giicriminatiug
against the trashy stuff. Eastern
markets had a good run last week
and prices quoted anywhere from
steady TO quarter lower.
Conditions are more or less uu-
settled in the feeder and stockcr
market. The demand has picked
up considerably during the last
two weeks but ii is still somewhat
limited and confined to the best
grades. Eastern markets report
only a few country buyers showing
up so far and the volume of trad
ing last week was not large Deal
ers here are receiving a good
many inquiries for feeders but
mostly for delivery little later in
the season. and all are unanimous
in the opinion that the tr4de here
this fall win he the best in the
history of the market.

BEEN WORRIED TOO OFTEN.

The government officials are
much aggrirvyd because the news
papers throughout the United
States do moi devote more free
-Iucc to the PortIuud exposition
which as everybody knows is II
rank Ezzel $50 far as attendance IS
concerned. The RESI- lousibiiity for
the failure of the exposition to al
tract such vast crowds of sight
srrrs as its promoter, believed it
should draw is laid by some. H.
logically and Improperly, at the
doors OF the newspapers, as if they
had entered into con~pirancy TO
ignore and iniurr it. We have al
ways felt that these great rNpusi-
tiou4 have been going altogether
too much ON the sIouging theory
by securing miles of4ldyartising in
the newspapers without paying for
it. We hold to the old fashioned
notion that advertising should b.
come ID Legitimate item of expense
with every enterprise and that
non. aau succeed without cough
ing up "a reasonable wad of dough-
for th. lulrirtion of the printing
presses. While We are not aYar-
irious for more rhiuk We must con
lps that we lost good deal of in
trrest iu these big cNpositious
years ago because they contained
TO rcripr. city and were aI@ay;
working the newspapers 10 get
something for nothing, They had
millions to spend in the prepara-
tion of the show but not a penny
for publicity and promotion after
the table was spread and this ac-
corling To circus men is disas-
trous policy. some of our Co!ora-
do fairs are trpdjing the same path
and they are bound finally to bg
dumped in the sewer much the
same way. Field and Farm.
