No housewife will go to a grocery

tinued indefinitely but the intelligent
consumer will at once grasp the

advanced in price. The makers of le-

been taxed beyond their capacity to
supply the demand of an ever in
creasing population, with the effects
Of the pure food law, on legitimate
goods and illegitimate merchants, we
find that Sears obuck & Co., of Chi

grocery department, as they found it
impossible to supply standard and
lawful groceries at the cut prices they
had been charging for adulterated
stuff.
The question of high prices is not
one of local interest alone, it is ma
tional. A great factor in this con-
nection is that rents in our city are
abnormally high, irrespective of what
any one may say. Also clerk hire has
almost doubled in the last two years
Hay that could be bought by the gro
Ger or butcher to feed their horses
has advanced from $3.50 per ton to
$I4, and above; oats from Is cents
per hundred pounds to $I.75; clothing

of the daily expense of the retailer,
which must be taken into account

THE COST OF LIVING

in that cry that the Real Estate as
ISOLATION fakirs started against the
retail dispensers of food in the city.
That food and almost everything else
is abnormally high there is no ques-
ton. 1t is not any higher, however,
in Salt Lake than in other places and
if it were the blame should be placed
where it belongs. 1t is mean and
cowordly to single out class of men
and hold them up to derision and
scorn because they are weak and not
as we'll able to defend themselves as
some others, in higher places. Peo-
pie, however, when cry is raised are
prone to at least temporarily allow
themselves to be carried away and
join the mob. 1t is so much easier
to run with the crowd that to go in
the opposite direction. AS matter
of fact, conditions in the country
generally are responsible for the nigh
cost of living. But change is COM
ing. In year from now living will
be very much cheaper, so will good
many things. Things have been at
white heat for the past few years and
in the natural order a change is about
due.
The unreasonable extravaganza of
the people generally is the main cause
of high prices. The people have no
body to blame but themselves. Yet
there are those who like democratic
times when they want to buy and
republican times when they want to
sell.
The cost of living, while it COM
prises everything needed in the way
of food, clothing, fuel, shelter, ETC.,
is usually attributed to food only
The charge is made that living is very
expensive in Salt Lake City, and the
blame is directly placed upon the re-
taller of food stuffs.
The B. and G. association in far Sc
we're censure as being the primary
cause of high prices. Even super
fetal investigation of the facts, will
convince the most prejudiced, of the
absolute fallacy of such contention.
In the first place there never has
been, and there is not now an asso-
citation of wholesale meat dealers,
and no agreement exists or ever ex-
listed between the wholesalers or be-
tween them and the retailers. This
can be verified, as there are four or
five exclusive wholesalers and three
or four retailers who buy and slaugh-
ter their own live stock.
In the second place, not fifty per
cent of the retail butchers have ever
been members of the B. and G. asso-
citation. Among the non-members are
some of the largest markets. 1t will
be found upon investigation, that
prices, when quality is taken into
consideration, are uniform, simply be-
cause the independent butcher, can

who claims that meats are excessively
high, blames the butcher instead OF
his lack Of knowledge how and what
to buy. One dollar will purchase to-
day, about as much good, wholesome
meat, as it did two years ago, not
withstanding the wholesale price of
carcasses or the price of live stock,
is higher now than then. When
steaks, roasts, stews, etc. can be
bought for from 7 to 10 cents per
pound, there is no reason why meat
shouldn't be plentiful in every labor
ing mans home. The trouble arises
from the fact, that all the majority of
housewives know about cooking is
a IS cent porterhouse steak for
family of seven, or one pound of loin
lamb or mutton chops at from 20
to 80 cents per pound. These are not
fancy flights of the imagination, every
butcher in the city will corroborate
the statement. So true is this fact,
that there are at least from $1,000 to
$4,000 per month sent to the Omaha,
Kansas City and other packing hous-
es for loins and ribs of cattle, to Sup
ply the constantly increasing demand
for such cuts. Local loin steaks, COM
prising the sirloin, tenderloin and por-
terhouse, can be bought from IS to
I7h cents per pound, but how many
of Our people want them?
The first question as rule is, have
you some nice eastern beef? That
class of goods, has so steadily ad-
vanced in price, that unless the pub
lie is willing to pay for it, the supply
will have to be curtailed. We know
of markets that pay 20 to FL cents
per pound for cuts to supply their
ever complaining customers. These
are few of the troubles of the but
cheers.
The grocer is, if anything, in a more
precarious condition. Goods in his
line have advanced, and are still ad-
vancing. Where the end will be, is
more than the average grocer can
tell, as he is kept sufficiently busy
figuring out how to meet his ever in
creasing bills and the cheonic slowness
of his customers to pay their account.
That the grocers, more especially
the National association of the Re-
tail Grocers, are responsible in
great measure for high prices, we do
not deny, in fact claim to have been
a great factor. Nevertheless they feel
proud of their record, and expect the
public to support them in what they
have done and expect to continue to
do in the future. This has been done
through the pure food legislation,
they have succeeded in having the
congress of the United States enact
If the consumer remembers, there
never was an article of food of what
soever kind on the shelves of any
grocery, that the label did not say

pect to see the price 10 to 1. Quite
lot of money was placed at

Britt admirers are taking all at
that price in sight, but despite their
eagerness to wager the odds be-
come longer. The conditions are
primarily due to the decisive VIC
tory Nelson scored oyer Britt, but
Nelson sentiment is ;given great
strength by the sports conviction
that he has not gone back as the
result of the beating Cans gave

ties. Few men in the annals of the
ring have ever done it. Jeff's long
rest has done him no good. The
years of idleness are telling on
him. He is almost bloated with
superfous flesh; and every train
er knows that once a man really
loses his wind and stamina they
can never be brought back again.
l believe that if ever jeff enters
the ring again, be it with myself or
any clever, swift heavyweight, he
will lose. just as the pitcher goes
to the well once too often, SO jeff
will break against his next oppo-
nent. 1t will be the take of Cor
bett and Sullivan over again. Any
man who could avoid him long
enough, keep him on the move, will
let him beat himself against the
ropes.
When a great bulk of muscle,
such as jeff is, gets thoroughly
tired, there is no steam in his
punches and he is ready to give in
from sheer WEAKNESS.

worst, should win. l do not think

BENCH WARRANT FOR
PETE HANSON

Justice Hinkle today issued a
bench arrant for the arrest of Pete
Hanson, the bartender who several
weeks ago was cut on the neck in a
fight by Robert Switzer. The case
was called this morning and the
complaining witness did not ap-
pear. Unless he does appear by
Wednesday afternoon the charge
of assault with deadly weapon
which is now hanging over Switzer
will be dropped. Deputy Prosecu-
tor Webster this morning told the
court that Hanson had acted
strangely all through the proceed
ings. First he reported that he was
too i'll to appear. The case was
postponed. Then his wife came to
the station and said he was still
too sick.
The case was once more post
poned. Policemen told Webster
that Hanson was up and around
and in good health. His non-ap-
pearance this morning convinced
the prosecutor that he did not
want to prosecute Switzer.

CHAMPION COW SWIMMER

CHILLICOTHE, O., July 30
There is no nature fake about the
high diving COW owned by OHM
Manning. In making a rush for
the river bridge she missed the
structure and plunged head fore
most from the pier into the Scioto,
SO feet below.
In minute Bossy came to the
surface and swan to the shore.
The bank, however, was so steep
that she could not climb up, and
Manning and his friends worked all
the rest of the night to get her out,
but without avail. Finally, next
morning, the COW became disgust
ed and struck out for the far bank
of the swollen stream. 1t was a
long swim, and she went down
twice, but managed to reach the
other bank in safety.

BOxCARS SET ON FIRE

Somebody is evidently endeavor-
ing to add to the car scarcity by
burning up rolling stock, or else
careless hoboes are taking chances
on burning up their boudoirs. Last
night the fire department ex-
tinguished a blaze in burning car
on the N. P. track near Division
St, and later a car was discovered
on fire at Madelia st. No serious
damage was done in either case
1t is possible that the fires were
started by sparks from locomotives,
but they are more likely to have
been incendiary.
