Interior Grain Markets.

An interesting summary bearing upon
the relative Importance Of the larger
interior grain markets of America may
be found elsewhere in T re Journal.
It tells story Of the shifting of the
center Of wheat production, but more
particularly marks the changes Of d.
rection in the flow Of the product mar
ketward. Three markets, Minneapolis,
Chicago and Kansas City, compete for
the business Of large area. These are
locations so nearly equidistant, with
freight rates and other advantages SO
nearly equal, that small advantage Of
price or in readiness of demand or other
influence, making ever SO slight diff
ference in net return per bushel to the
producer, will turn the tide in the direc-
tion Of one market as against the other.
Minneapolis had the biggest year Of
her grain trade history in 1905. Chi
cago made a bad showing. Kansas
City came up in important degree.
There has been much in recent years to
indicate that Chicago's prestige as a
great primary grain market has gone
beyond hope of recovery and these fig
ures tend to confirm it, For instance,
in one recent year, when the crop in
competitive territory was about $685.
100000 bushels, Chicago received 81
100000 bushels; when it rose to 421,-
100000 bushels Chicago received 81, OO0,-
900 and when it fell to 1868 100000 bush
els, still showed 48,000,0o0 in total res
ceipts. Minneapolis thru these years
forged ahead, falling back at times, az
the crop FELL but on the average main
tanning the upward trend, while Kansas
City, also came to the front steadily
Wien competitive territory produced
253,OOO,0O0 bushels Of wheat, as long
ago as in 1895, Chicago received in
round figures 2o,5o0,ooo bushels, Mime.
apois 65,50O,000 and Kansas City 1920,
600. In 1905, with a much larger cror
396 ,0oO, 900 Chicago got 100000
bushels, Minneapolis 92,ooo,0oo anc
Kansas City. 100000 900. Ii. s D.
There is everything to Indicate thai
this relative position will be per
manent and that whatever change,
may come in future years viii

Governmental Meat Inspection.

The president 8 message to congress
upon the meat inspection question is di-
rect. 1t contains one epigraInmatic
statement which probably covers the
whole issue. Government inspection, he
declares, to be efficient must be from
shoot to oan.' Under the present In
speetion law the government certtfes
that the animal killed was in good con-
dition at the point of slaughter. On
the basis Of this Endorsement the packers
out labels upon their cans declaring that
their contents bear the stamp of gov
ernment approval. But the report Of
Messra. Reynolds and Neill show that
the parts Of carcasses 40 thru dozens OF
processes after the animal Is killed, and
1t Is in these processes that the abuses
Of cleanliness and deceney OCCUR What
the president recommends is kind Of
inspection which will inspect, which will
follow the animal from It's slaughter I'M
til the last portion Of the carcass has
been disposed Of. Obviously this in
wolves a great deal of watchfulness and
the exercise by the federal government
Of a. close oversight Of the packing
houses, the methods Of work, cleanliness
Of places and persons as well as the &C
tual examination Of the food products
from time to time to determine their
fitness for human food.
The legislation specifically recon-
mended by the president Is the Bever-
idge amendment to the agricultural
bill.
q, The fight IN congress will come upon
the acceptance Of this amendment or
the substitution Of the Wordsworth
measure from the house. There are
striking differences between the two.
The Beveridge bill says there '1shall
be- an inspection of all meats and meat
products prepared for interstate com
merce; the Wadsworth bill that the
secretary Of agriculture at his dtscre-
ton "may cause such examination and
Inspection to be made. The provisions
of the Beveridge bill for the examina-
ton Of Strengthening establishments
at all hours Of the day and
night are omitted entirely from
the house bill. The provisions
for the condemnation Of meat I'M
fit for human food in the Beverage bill
are much modified in the house substi
tute.
. 1t is quite evident that the Beveridge
bill leaves nothing to guesswork, while
the house bill puts the slaughtering and
packing firms good deal on thei1
honor. If it. is safe after having ex
posed the disgraceful state of affairs tt
put the packers on their good behavior
then the. Wadsworth bill will answer
But for thoro work which leaves moth
ing to chance and nothing to the goo6
intentions of those interested in slight
ing the inspection, the Beverage bill il
better. ~.~- '-.'---
There is nothing in the evidence tx
show that the packers have earned tn
right to be trusted.

melodrama of western life, which will be
seen at the, Bijou next week, Is said to
stand as an example of the best American
melodranla. The plot Is original both in
it's conception and development, and the
characters are clearly drawn and inter-
esting In their naturelness. Miss Eleanor
Franklin, an actress of acknowledged
ability heads a strong cast, and will be
seen In the character of Panneno, a young
Indian princess: This engagement will

"A Stranger in, a Strange Land" which
must be accorded the palm for bowling

! large audiences at the Lyceum theater
yesterday. The play was well received,
and owing to its freshness in Minneapolis,
made a pronounced hit. It is an Anglo
American comedy with an exceptionally
funny story in which Indians, real and
make believe, promoters daredevil neph-
ews who have been conducting cattle
ranches at Buffalo, N. Y, for the benefit
of their trusting, relatives in London, etc.,
are featured. The performance served to
introduce Miss Nettie Douglass, the Ly-

Hearst and Parker Factions,

John Sharp Williams mild and in

another result besides depriving Mr..

1t has created a schism in the ranks Of
the house minority. Some Of the demo-
Gratis who had private bills which The
republicans were helping them to pass
miss their accustomed privilege since
their leader began to insist upon a quo
rum. This has led to some uncompli-
mentary remarks about Williams, one
member going SO far as to say evil
liams Is an ass and wouldn It be elected
speaker If the democrats had majority
tomorrow.
This is pretty sad after all the hard
work MI. Williams has done in trying
to weld the minority into one harmo-
NOUS faction. But this expression on
the part Of a democrat is said to be
not cause but merely a phase Of the
falling away of the democrats. from
Williams. The underlying cause goes
back to the last presidential campaign.
The democratic minority is. split be-
tween the Parker and Hearst factions.
The democratic campaign will be led
by Hearst democrat and lprobably
financed by Hearst, if he can see his
way clear to elect a majority and choose
the speaker. This would put him far
in the lead Of any competitor for the
presidential nomination. It would en-
able him to dictate the platform upon
which the democrats would go into the
fight. In such program there is no

only wrong that could be was in the
exercise of the alleged favoritism.
There could be no favoritism in rates.

Next Season.
HIS BRILLIANT RECORD
Recognized as One of the
Best Ends.
Out of Game Last Year With
Broken Leg.
HIS BRILLIANT RECORD

DR.. Garfield W. Weede, the star end
Of the University of Pennsylvania dur
ing the past four years. and last sea-
son rated in a class in which he and
Tom Shevlin of Yale were alone, has
been appointed to and accepted the
position of football coach of Wash
burn college. He will come to Topeka
during the latter part of August and
call the team together for practice on
September l.
This does not mean the resignation
of DR.. j H. Outland. On the contrary,
the latter will still retain his position
as athletic director of Washburn col
lege. DR. Weede will be subject to
DR.. Outland's orders.
Weede is a Sterling, Kan, boy and
learned the football game at Cooper
college. In 1901 he went to the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania and played a
good substitute position. In 1902 he
made the team and played at end and
quarter alternately. In 1908. half and
end were his position. In 1904 he
played at end throughout the season.
In 1905, his last year. he played at
end. and began a record breaking ca
reer. But just as the season was a
little MOI than half over he fractured
his leg in a game with Gettysburg col
lege, and it took him out of the game
for the year. In the game with Gettys-
burg, Pennsylvania won by a score of
Is to 6. Weede had made nine of
PENIS points before he broke his leg.
The year previous, Walter Camp said
that Weede would have been placed
