ting their meat in the near future at
nouncement doesn't guarantee cheaper
meat, but merely holds "a tempting
prospect before the public by way of
encouragement, on ca statement from
Edward A. Cudahy of the Cudahy Pack
ling company. The Cudahys, it is stat
ed have made 10 per cent reduction
in their products at Omaha, where
their plant is located.
In explanation, Mr.. Cudahy said he
believed the time had come for gen.
eral and substantial reduction in the
cost of living if the average citizen is
to share in the country's prosperity.
He said:
Il believe there will be an immediate
decline all along the line of produce
and staple supplies necessary to human
life. For some time we have been buy
ing cheaper, and we think we are JUS
titled in selling cheaper. The consum-
er will get the benefit as the retailers
have promised TO pass the reduction
along. 1t will mean a saving to every
man. woman and child in the country"
Chicago packers state that the low
trend of the price of live stock prob.
ably would continue for some time and
necessarily would cause a reduction of
retail prices The vice president of
the Schwarzschild & Sulzberger com
pany said:
| THE price of live stock has been
going down for some time, and the
price TO the retailer has been less for
beef within the last few days. In hogs
there was a cut of 70 cents hundred
last week. OF course, the retailer will
not get the advantage of this cut for
60 days or so, as the finished product
will not be ready until that time. The
price to the retailer is based always on
the cost of the live stock, and. as do
not see any prospect for higher prices
within the near future, | should think
a general reduction will be felt in all
meats SOON"
The other Chicago packers do not
promise reduction, but indicate it
may come.
Let us live at present in hopes Of
cheaper meat, even if we do hereafter
have to diet because lower prices dc
not come

Puncturing Meritorious Measure

HuncturluS a MefltOrlouS Measure.
Headed by the quartet of republican
leaders and bosses, Speaker Joseph G.
Cannon of the national house of rep
resentatives, Postmaster Daniel A.
Campbell of Chicago, lieutenant Gov
ernor Lawrence Y. Sherman of Illinois
and State Senator Orville f. Berry,
the professional politicians of the sta e
had their way in the state yesterday
and through the medium of the senate.
succeeded in so puncturing the meri-
torious Oglesby primary law as to
circumvent the will of the people as
expressed at the polls.
That the measure adopted by the
house to meet both the requirements
of the law as defined in two supreme
court rulings upon former makeshifts
and the will of the people had the APP
probation of the citizenship of the
state, is not for an instant to be que+-

And yet the same politicians, one OF
them a candidate for the presidency OF
the United States, will have the brazeI
effrontery to come before the people
and pose as the representatives of theil
interests and welfare.
The people OF the state have eX

GETTING FRIGHTENED.

The Pocatello Tribune rises to
announce that Everything now
points to the nomination OF
Roosevelt by reclamation. "
Every day there comes evidence
afresh that the republicans have
little faith in the positive state
ment made by the president that
he would not again be a candi-
date. Is their confidence in the
president in other ways as lack
ing as it is in this PARTICULAR
Wallace Times (Dem.)
Evidently the Times is getting
frightened at the possibility that
Roosevelt may be induced to
again be the republican standard
bearer, even though against his
will,-and the Times will, too.
The secret is, very probably,
that the Times knows no other
man could beat Roosevelt in a
campaign for the presidency.

Bureaus,

1t is interesting to learn from
one authority that the name bureau
was derived from the days when ia
bles were the only writing desks.
These tables were covered with a
thick wooden cloth called "bure,"
and from this beginning the name
has chung to the modern glorifed
piece of furniture. It was not until
the reign of Louis XIV. that either
writing tables or dressing tables
reached their height in beauty of
design and comfort. Strictly speak
ing, bureau is desk, or what we
call secretary, from which the
term bureau, or department, is de-
rived in broader sense. The arti-
Gle of bedroom furniture commonly
called a bureau nowadays is really
an improved dressing table combin-
ed with a chest of drawers.
