highlands Problem In the East,

England is getting nothing out of the
situation which ties the hands of Rus
STA on the southern frontier. The ameei
OF AfghaniStan is very cautious about
giving offense to Russia in her present
difficulties. England is bound by q
treaty with the father of the present
ruler to assist the Afghans against
foreign aggression, which of course
means Russia, but the ameer refuses
to have that matter discussed while
Russia is meeting defeat from Japan
On the other hand. an offer by Russia
to permit the Afghans to import wai
material through Russian territory was
rejected lest it might offend England
The English mission to the ameer
which reached the Afghan capital about
the first of the year, found him
and his advisers suspicious Of the OBJ
ject of the English III sending an en-
voy. They had not forgotten the lesson
of Tibet last year. England sought per
mission to extend the Indian railways
into Afghanistan and also proposed
that the Afghan army be placed under
the training of English officers. The
railway extension project was EN-
phatically rejected.
The lack of railway and Geographic
communication with Afghanistan gave
rise during the winter to much anxiety
in England and India over the fate OF
the mission to Kabul, which was eN'
pected back in India at the end of Jan
uary, but delayed its return for weeks
without reporting the cause of delay
1t was feared that some individual
Afghan might seek revenge in the
usual bloody way for some grievance
real or fancied. against the government
in India, or plotters might seek to i'll
volve the two countries in war, for
Lord Kitchener has reformed army
In India which he would like to give
n little practice. and Niceroy Curzor

THE BEEF TRUST PRESS BUREAU

The Echo this week received a
bulky package of literature from
the beef packers press bureau
in Chicago, in which was inclos
ed a type written request that we
republish all or such portion of
the matter as we saw fit. We
must decline to publish any por
ton of it for the reason that we
can not agree with the conclu
sions reached by the press
bureau.
The same stuff is sent to every
publisher, particularly publish
ers of country newspapers, with
the same request The type
written letter comes through one
of those advertising agencies
that offer the country newspaper
publisher the munificently
tempting sum of two dollars per
column per year for advertising
space, and then want to pay him
in any old junk.
The tempting bait is careless
w thrown out that the country
publisher may get almost any
moment a large advertising con
tract from Swift & Co., or the
Armour Packing Co., or some
other one of the great beefpack-
ing concerns. Just how many
country publishers will be caught
with this chaff it is impossible to
say.
The stuff they ask us to pub
lish gratutitously is defense OF
the packers trust, with extracts
from the report of Commissioner
Garfield, an unworthy son of a
worthy father A report, for
making which, Mr.. Garfield has
been most mercilessly roasted
by the press of the country. Ac
cording to this report the poor
packers only make about fifteen
cents per head on the cattle they
slaughter. TO read this de-
Tense of the packers, if one had
to believe it, the conclusion
would be reached that the pack
ers, instead of levying a tribute
on the consumers of their pro
duct, were q lot of philanthro-
pists who had engaged in the
packing business to get rid OF
the wealth their ancestors had
left them, so they would not be
compelled to go down to the
grave with the stigma of wealth.
In other words, like Mr.. Carne'
gle, they were trying to get ria
of their millions,
Recent revelations in the in
vestigation of the methods of this
thrifty lot of commercial blood
suckers, will not bear out this
charitable conclusions.
The secret cypher code under
which the trust receives rebates,
the exhorbitant icing charges,
the refrigerator car rebates and
the various other indirect
methods by which the beef pack
ers make enormous profits on an
overcapitalized industry point to
u less worthy motive,
Any and all these devious
methods of increasing the profits
of the packers leads to diamet-
rically opposite conclusion from
that which the literature of the
packers bureau would promote.
Just what the outcome of the
packers trust investigation will
amount to can not now be fore.

In regard to the farmers burning
their cotton the Chattanooga (Tenn.)
News draws some plain conclusions.
1t very truly says that we should like
to know how the masses are to be
benefited by such nonsensical bust
ness. OF all the fool propositions
that have been advanced as possible
relief from the situation in the coz
ton market, the torch route is the
most foolish. Men who engage in it
should be prosecuted for wanton de-
struction of property. It will not
reeve the situation farthing' g
worth to burn few bales of cotton,
and farmers who engage in it are
merely making monkeys Of them
selves.
