AN EXPLANATION IN ORDER.
RusseITs Unanswered Arraignment of
the Beef Trust.


In the three years ending January l. 1906,
the value of the beef cattle of the United
States declined S163,OOO,OOo call attention
to this fact. ohiStaliy reported. 1t is pivotal
The whole discussion turns upon it, The
value of cattle has declined. Has the price
of meat to the consumer declined? l print
here tables from the retail markets of diff
ferent cities. They do not show that meat
has become cheaper. They show that It has
become steadily dearer.
Here, then, is the great significant truth
we are to face: The cost Of the raw ma
terial has diminished. The price of the
finished product has increased.
In the history OF commerce no such con-
dition has existed without designed and
abnormal control and manipulation. With
out abnormal manipulation no such condi-
ton would be possible. II the cost of the
raw material and the cost of the finished
product had kept some measure OF rela-
! tive pace, one ignorant of or blind to the
operations OF this trust might assert that
raw material and finished product together
had merely taken part in a world wide
| movement Of rising prices. No one can
say that now. The discrepancy is too glar-
ing. The raw material is cheaper; the fin
ished product is dearer. In view Of this
fact, what shall we think of those laborious
| arguments by which a government depart
ment tries to show that this trust is no
trust, that the packers profits are very
small, that the public has no reason to
complain? Where are the books" now
that will explain cheap cattle and dear
beef? And of what value are any reports
against the certain. plain dollar-and-c cents
experience of every householder in the
| country?

Indiana's ridiculous anti-cigarette law, as

You can not buy cigarettes in Indiana and
you can not smoke them there II you do
buy them. You can, however import them
from another state, but you can not give
them away though you may smoke them

The fact that the Omaha grain market
has registered an increase of 143 per
cent during the first four months of the
present year over corresponding period
last year can scarcely be cited as a
striking proof of Omaha's rank as a
grain market. A man with salary of
$40 month who had his salary doubled
would not be regarded as a very highly
paid wageworker. The fact is that
Omaha had no grain market to speak
of up to last year. But the Omaha grain
market is an established institution now,
although it will not enjoy the full meas
ure of its ambition until the new grain
elevators now in process of construction
shall be in full operation.

aforesaid is a separate custom district
against Sweden, faces the Atlantic, Sweden

tant in agriculture and industry. The Swe-

pared with Norway's 1t is therefore, easy
to understand that Norway lays much i'm
portance on a special consular service. II
will also be understood that Norway, hav-
ing through many years attempted to in
duce the Swedish government acting under
the influence of the Riksdag, to an agree
ment, is about to lose patience, and that

Review OF the Case by an Authority
on International Law

AtNAeW OF Nhe Nune ny nm AWNn0EANN
on International Law.
Prof. L. Won Bar OF Goettngen. one OF
the German representatives in the Hague
peace tribunal and one OF the highest
authorities on international law. has in
Die Nation Of May q written an article
on the Norwegian-Swedish consular ques-
ton. also published in France In lie Courier
European" in which he in every particular
gives Norway right
According to translation made by
Scandal, a Chicago publication, Prof. Won
Bar traces the position OF the consuls since
the Union OF 1914 and points to the fact that
they were originally separate offices Having
shown that the Union OF 1914 was not
result Of the treaty OF Kiel. but was
brought about in Norway, not through the
war-luck Of the swedes, but in view Of the
position Of the great powers and on Swe-
den's Part because the crown prince saw
the difficulties in conduering Norway. Prof.
Won Bar says that the Riksdag recognizes
Norway as free autonomous undividable
and Independent kingdom
He then traces the position of the consuls
since 1914 and shows how they were first
separate offices, though the king, as a mat
ter of convenience, appointed the same per
sons consuls Of both Sweden and Norway.
First in 1880 we're instructions for the con-
sulsr service issued, and the consuls were
subordinated in Sweden under the
Board Of Commerce CKommerce Kollegium)
and in Norway under the minister Of hn-
ances; nothing was said about a common
foreign minister; the consuls were still
acting for each country separately, though
the same person held both offices.
First in 1856 the Swedish foreign minister
got charge of the consular service.
Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1905-07-07

Prof Won Bar says that already prior to
this common consuls had proven less salts
factory, and that the Norwegian govern
ment in an address to the king of February
a. 1s47, had pointed out that in certain
cases separate consuls for Norway might
be desirable because of the different com
mercial interests of the two countries"
But nothing was done. The author then
mentions the Swedish coup of 1885 when the
minister of foreign affairs was made re-
sponsibe to the Swedish Riksdag instead of
to the Union king Then considering the
advisability or practibility Of the two coun-
tries having separate consuls, Prof. Won
Bar comes to the conclusion that there
might be cases where a state with provinces
OF Heterogeneous population and with very
different interests might appoint consuls
for separate provinces; comparing the Nor
wegian and the Swedish proposal for new
consular law he says:
Justice then would decide for the Nor
wegian bill. But when at last the ques-
ton is put whether it would be expedent
that Norway obtains separate consuls this
question also must be answered in favor Of
the Norwegian demands"

SPECIALIZATION.

Is the rule of the day. Almost
every profession and industrial en-
terprise has grown to such proper
tions that one man cannot handle
the details of the entire industry or
profession. The rule in large en-
terprises now is to have a respon-
sible head who has under him. the
different departments of the bust
ness. The executive officer cannot
afford to burden himself with the
details of the different departments,
but must have his mind clear to
handle the larger operations Of the
enterprise.
For the convenience OF its Gus
toners and for its own profit, this
bank has several departments, some
OF which are under the control of
men who make their special work
llfe-study. The most important of
these is the real estate department.
1t performs all the functions OF
well-organized, full equipped real
estate agency. Because one man
makes it his exclusive business, it
is highly efficient department of
this bank.
This department is especially
prepared to attend to the property
of people living outside of Paducah
and to advise on any matter of real
estate or any investment you may
be contemplating making here. In
formation will be cheerfully tur-
nished.

The early summer when the weather
becomes warm and settled, is the best
time of the whole year to treat ca
tarrhal troubles with the expectation
Of complete and lasting relief.
Everyone who has catarrh of the
head and throat should knew how
foolish it is to try aud cure it by
drugging the stomach.
Until recently your physician would
have said that the only way to cure
catarrh would be by change of eli
mate, but now with Hyomei you can
carry a health-giving climate in your
purse or vest pocket, and by breathing
it few minutes four times day soon
cure yourself.
Everyone who has catarrh, or even
a tendency to catarrh, should use Hy-
omei now, for the benefit will be
gained twice as quickly and the dis
ease thoroughly eradicated from the
system.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but one dollar, and includes neat
pocket inhaler, medicine dropper,
and sufficient Hyomei for several
weeks treatment. The inhaler lasts
a lifetime, and If more Hyomei is
needed, extra BOTTLES can be obtained
for so cents.
In Union City there are scores Of
