wholesome We question the justice o.
his observation on the future indus
trial Development Of the United States.
This country is not yet fully settled.
It's agricultural resources are not even
approaching their fuT development
Compared with the density IL pOpula-
ton and the acreage Of production OF
western Europe, American agriculture
is not yet in its infancy The eastern
south alone. If we may judge from the
tone OF recent industrial conferences
and the comments OF southern news
papers. could probably utilize on her
farms for many years TO come the en-
tire immigration into this country, and
even then could not hope to equal the
agricultural position OF Iowa or I'LL
nois- Nor can II be admitted that our
coal and iron resources are approach
ing exhaustion A recent fuYestiga-
ton Of the Alabama iron field showed
the existence Of one billion tons Of
workable ore, and the coal resources
even Of Pennsylvania are still ample
for very demand. In the northwest
1t may be remarked in passing, are
larger deposits Of Ignite coal than
those from which Germany draws a
larger percentage Of her fuel supply,
and as yet no comprehensive attempt
has DcEAA AAcLQG 70 QGFEADp L4e1E Qt-
posts Indeed, the only raw material
produced in the United States which
needs to be guarded against too rapid
exploitation is the timber supply. The
United States is in no danger Of ex-
hausting her natural resources, how
ever prudent may be the policy Of
their more economical utilization.
Nor does the industrial future OF
this country lie along the lines Of for
eign trade development so much as
AIr. Hill would have Us believe. We
possess an Industrial empire produc-
ing within its border nearly every com
modify demanded by our trade. For
eign trade, sixteen years ago, was es-
timated at no more than 4 per cent
OF our total annual production Its
relative importance is today much
smaller In the interchange Of the
products Of the American factory for
the products Of the American farm
and in a decreasing rather than in a
growing dependence upon foreign
trade lies the economic destiny OF the
United States Pessimism, however,
wholesome, is difficult to maintain, in
view OF the opportunities which this
country offers

Stock Prices in Kansas City Took a
Tumble This Week
Stock Yards, Kansas City, No, Jan.
30.-The situation in the cattle trade
last week was the most unmprOmis-
ing Of any week this month. Prices
declined on fed steers after Tuesday
and although receipts We're moderate
as compared with recent week, the
market was without much support
from any source This week, how
ever, there is a material improvement
in condition, although prices average
only steady with the close of last
week American beef is half a cent
higher in England this week, outside
demand stronger than last week, and
packers are able TO move dressed
meats more freely. Cows and butcher
stuff advanced 10 to Is cents last
week, were higher yesterday, but a
shade lower today. StOckers and feed
ers made a net advance Of 10 to Is
cents
The run Of cattle today is 1900
head, supply yesterday $4,000. Mar
ket was steady to strong yesterday,
steady on the best ones today, COW
stuff a shade lower. A good many
sales were made last week at $3.50
tween $500 and $3.50 Quality is not
as good this week, top today $3.50,
but bulk Of sales shows better than
a few weeks back, at S4.35 to $50,
being the reflection OF the longer peri
Cd Of feeding A few drOves Of heif-
ers brought S4.T5 this week, fair to
good heifers $3.50 to $3.50, COWS $500
to $500, Gamers and thin COWS 1925
to Sass, bulls S2.75 TO $3.S5, Yeals
$3.50 to 500 Country demand is
best for good feeders, which bring
S435 TO S4.S5, with choice stOckeTs
also wanted, at 1925 to $3.50. High
bred Colorado and Utah feeders sold
lately at $3.50 to S4-35, fair to good
stockers 1885 to S4.15. a few com
mon cattle around $500, stock calves
S2-75 to S4-25.
The hog market had a period Of de-
preston last week, but is coming up
stronger this week. Top sales both
market closed strong today, with some
hogs only a little over 200 pounds,
selling at S5.45, bulk OF sales S5.35 to
S5.47H- Average weight for Janu-
airy is p pounds, against 2O3 pounds
last January, prices are 50 to 20 cents
above q year ago, receipts a little
heavier this January than last, indi-
eating a better demand now. Run to-
day 1900 head.
The mutton market has apparently
fallen upon evil days Prices are OF

Continued heavy runs at all markets
is reason Good lambs are selling to-
day at $3.50 TO $3.50, some 52-pound
lambs at 1926, ewes at $4.S5 to $50,
while the limit on yearlings would be
around $50, wethers S5.65. Pros

on feed, has hardly commenced as

sANCTTTY OF THE HOME.

Judge Gary Of Chicago has been in
public Office since a young man until
the steel trust, for reasons Of its own,
took him up and made it possible for
him to become a multi-milIionaire
When he became a rich man New
York was more attractive than Chi
cagO, and he spent much Of his time
there aiding to help the steel trust to
become richer There he met a young
couple who clerked in a floral store.
The wife was pretty it is said. She
was thirty. He seemed charmed with
the woman She favored the atten-
ton She applied for a divorce, which
her husband did not fight She was
granted a divorce and at once took
fashionable quarters in New York, and
recently the judge and the lady were
married, and the papers say that her
husband from a clerk suddenly be-
came a partner in a 100000 business
This is one Of the living pictures Of
the way the plutOcrats protect the
sanctity Of the home from the blight
Of socialism See2 And the working
people elect judges to position and the
steel trust takes them for service
They become rich and have no more
use for the poor fools whose votes ele-
waited them than they have for the
poodle that pIeases their siIly-nfIly
wives and daughters And the old
world continues to revOlve in the US
uaI way.-AppeaI to Reason

The arrival OF the imperial Chinese
commission in Washington this week
was an event Of more than ordinary
Importance It indicates that China
is working up to the desirability Of
adopting some Of the phases Of west
ern civilization The commissioners
are two Of the most prominent men
in Chinese national affairs and they
have been shown everything Of inter
est and Importance in the way OF ma
terial progress from san Francisco to
New York They have been received
by the president and shown all there
was to see in the government Offices,
not even excluding the navy yard
Both of the commissioners have ex-
pressed themselves highly gratf1ed as
well they might be, at the cOnsidera-
ton that has been shown them, and
they say that they viii take back n
infinity Of information that will De
useful to China The chances are hat
they will But if China with 400 mil
lion OF population really wakes up, it
will mean that there are strenuous
times ahead for the rest Of the world.

Of the 'rainmaking' area in Kansas

year the rain refused to fail at their
behest and the discouraged farmers

End OF AMERICAN RESOURCES

END OF AMERICAN EhEsoOOEANcaos
President James J. Hin OF the Great
Northern railway, in his public utter
ances is always interesting At times,
however, his statements appear to be
undlly pessimistic- It viii be recalled
how two years ago Mr. Hin predicted
a marked reaction from the then ex-
isting prosperity. On the contrary We
have had q steady Improvement So
now, IN his recent speech before the
St Paul Commercial club, the presi-
dent Of the Great N9Fthernj while he
sounds wholesome note Of warning
against the wastefuI exploitation OF
our natural resources intimates that
danger is impending over the Ameri-
