the recent quo tation. 1t doesn't seem likely
that he is gcing to benefit to any great e1-

retail in the city is not holding high. On
the contrary, milk Is selling at q very low
price in most instances. OF courge some
fancy dealers are getting fancy prices, but
they always get them Eecause their Gus

'7he Consolidated Milk Exchange merely
fixes the price OF milk at figure in keep

should the farmer find himself able to get
a higher price for his milk than that quo ted

him from taking advantage of it. Per-

and that many Of them are losing money

TO TIE EDITOR OF THE SGS-Sr: As you

you to give publicity to she latest action OF
this body. At a meeting OF the exchang SO

of milk to the farmer from ~ cents q quart
to Q cents. As the prices received by US
farmers from the creamery men at the stations.
to whom we sell our milk, IL one-auarter less
than the exchange price. We shaI receive
only f1A cents o quart while this schedule
lasts. .- --..

supply. can appreciate In some degree our

A PiTIFUL TRAGEDY

+
What a pitiful, useless tragedy was
that in Denver, the closing chapter
Of which was written yesterday when
the police officer. who was wounded
by the maniac, Schistler, on Sunday
last, passed away. The day before
yesterday the police surgeon. Dr..
Dulin, died. The other victims were
Kay Sill and his wife. The storey
of the tragedy nay be briefly retold.
Schistler and Still had had a lawsuit
over a property boundry. The suit
was decided adversely to Schistler ana
he brooded over it until he apparently
lost his mind. Sunday he armed him.
self with a rifle and hunted up Still,
who was a near neighbor. Before he
left the Still place he had killed both
Mr.. and Mrs. Still. Returning to his
own home Schistler barricadel the
entrances and prepared to fight.
It was in their attempts to capture
him that DR.. Dulin and the police Of
ficer received their death wounds.
Schistler himself was finally found
dead, either by his own hand or as
the result of shots from the officers
of the law. Thus five human lives
were snuffed out because of miser-
able quarrel over property that cold
not have been worth more than a
small sum of money.
But the amount of money involved
is Of small importance. No sum could
possibly compensate the families be-
reft as . result of this tragedy, this
useless, reasonless, inexclusive earn
ival of killing. There remains only
the hope that 1t will teach a lesion
in temper ruling to others. 1t was
Schistler's ungovernable rage that
made the murders possible. He could
not control himself in his dissappoint-
ment over losing the lawsuit.
From wild anger to actual insanity
was only step. He took it, or was
swept into it by his passion and there
will be five new graves in the Denver
cemeteries as a result May we not
learn from this that there is no human
disappointment that justifies the
taking Of human life.-Salt Lake

HEARST CONTEST FLATTENs.

The Hearst mayoralty contest Is nat
b. tenng out rapidly in New York. There
now seems little likelihood that the
plurality for Mayor Mcclellan on the
face of the returns viii be eXtinguished,
or even cut down. Indeed, it NAV be
added 10. All the stories Of election
frauds. all the stories of intimidation
~ voters. of repeating. of stuffed ballot
boxes are being exploded as rapidly as
they are reached. 1t is quite probable
that some frauds were committed, but
The only conviction thus FAR obtained
was that OF a man who confessed that
he was paid to vote the Republican
ticket.
Perhaps. if the truth We're known, it
might be found that the Hearst cam
paign was not altogether free from
stain. As regards character, We are
sure Mr.. Mcclellan stands as we'll as
Mr. Hearst among people who know
both men, Mcclellan would have been
elected mayor Of New York by 10000
plurality if it hadn't been for the fool
campaign conducted by Tammany, a
campaign of which the chief purpose
seemed TO be TO humiliate voters OPP
posed TO it.
The use of anarchist banners against
Hearst, the circulation Of infamou;
placards and posters, all Injured TO The
benefit of Hearst. Il was mistake

PETTY STANDARD METHODS.

The methods used by the Standard
Oil company 10 destroy competition in
Missouri are being freely ventilated be
fore q special commissioner recently
appointed 10 inquire into them. II has
long been known TO the public that the
Standard has never hesitated 10 employ
any weapon Ia the crushing Of its COM
petitors, but some surprise viii be ex-
pressed that even this unlawful monOp-
oily should use a false gauge, as tesI-
fed by a former manager for the corr
DoratiOn.
This manager. William y. Morgan,
who had charge Of the. Standards bust
ness at Sedalia, testified that the COM
pany furnished him a gauge by which
he could prove 10 customers OF other
companies that their barrels were sew
eral gallons short. This gauge was to
be used after all other schemes had
failed. Morgan testified that he did not
use il, probably because he did not con-
s.der il honest, but it is entirely likely
that other Standard managers have
made il a part of their system.
\ more contemplate trick could
hardly be imagined, The veriest bust
ness cut-throat and outlaw would hesi-
tate about adopting It, but nothing. APP
parentISi is too low or too vile for the
standard. The result of the inyestiga-
ton may be the passage of legislation
such as will either drive the Standard
out Of Missouri or compel 1t to conduct
it's business on an honest business
basis II is 10 be hoped that the i'll
quiry viii have this result.
The Standard Oil company from its
inception has been a menace 10 the
country, There is no possible justifiea-
ton for it or for the methods it en-
plOys. During its existence, covering
a period OF about thirty years, it has
wrought more business ruin than any
single panic from which the country
has suffered. There is no more honest
competition in the oil business today
thanks 10 the Standard, and there can
never be any honest competition as
long as the Standard continues to exist
Missouri is a good starting place fol
a general movement against the monop.
oily. May the movement spread unit
the Standard has been regulated into &

TOO MUCH TURKEY.

We are willing TO concede a good deal
Of bigness TO our national metropolis,
the great city OF New York. but some
are little too large for as. One of
them is told by an esteemed coptem-
porary, the New York Times, about the
turkeys that will be eaten in the big
town next Thursday. Thanksgiving
day. The burden Of the yarn is placed
upon the shoulders of. a dealer in tur-
keys. He was asked by a Times man
how many of the birds would be eaten
on. Thanksgiving day, and fixed the
number at 100000.
The conclusion was arrived al thus:
'In round numbers there are about s.
500 900 of US" said the dealer. THAT
means about 100000 families. the census
man says. Let's say that 100000 of
those families are too poor or prefer
some other bird for the feast; that
leaves us about 100000 families who will
want the great American bird on their
tables. That's guesswork. but if my
| instinct goes for anything, it is con-
| sentative. Yes. YOU take my word for
it-New York will eat 100000 turkeys,
| at least on Thanksgiving day"
Do you believe that? Let US do u lit
tie figuring. Suppose the turkeys aver
age eight pounds each, and they viii
so rather over than under that figure.
! New York win be called upon TO eat
I 4.0O0,0 900 pounds of turkey in u single
day Take the dealers estimate Of s, d!
500, 900 for the total population. Deduct
| from that 100000 as the number which
/ he estimates win nos eat any turkey at
all, and we have 1000 600 pounds to be
| eaten by 2500, 600 people. or at the rate
| of nearly two pounds TO each indiyid-
/ ual.
| And the individuals who are to eat
/ two pounds each are not, mind you, all
( adults. To get the figures on popula-
/ ton it was necessary to include chill
dren of all ages, beginning with infants
! under six months and going uD 10 the
sayagely hungry boy and girl in their
/ teens. Two pounds of turkey is about
as much meat as the average strong
man cares to get away with. Compar-
atively few men will eat as much as
one pound. with the other trimmings OF
! a Thanksgiving dinner.
Isn't It clear that the dealer has eX-
aggerated? Certainly his figures vii
not bear careful analysis. New Yorl
isn't so awfully big, after all.
