Miss Brady extracted the pencil that

Inquiry Into Relative Prices of
Meat and Live Stock Welcomed

In Washington yesterday Congress.
man Hitchcock of Nebraska intro.
duced resolution in the lower house
asking that the secretary of commerce
and labor be directed to compile COM
parative tables of the Wholesale and
retail prices of meat for the past two
years, to show the relationship be-
tween the prices paid by the great
packing companies for live stock and
the prices charged by them for the
meat products. It was referred to the
committee on Interstate and foreign
commerce.
Consumers In Rock Island, as well
as all over the country, will welcome
an inquiry into this subject. There
is something SO strange about the sud-
den rise in meat prices in the last
two or threec weeks that they may be
pardoned for having suspicious. Last
fall when panicky times came on
prices of live stock went down to the
lowest point in years. High corn and
an uncertain outlook led men with
marketable hogs and cattle to rush
them to- market in spite of the sacri-
fee entailed. With prices way down
most of the hogs and cattle passed
into the hands of the packers. When
this process was about completed and
the time for making contracts for de-
livery Of dressed meats and meat
products arrived the price ol live stock

After the Election. What?

f (From Last Nights Argus.)
II the election determines that Rock
Island shall not adopt the experiment
OF prohibition and the saloon is to re-
main, a paramount duty will present
itself to the people of Rock Island,
not for consideration in the distant
future but forthwith. 1t will be that
of saloon regulation, not on a tenn
porary basis, but by way of an adjust
ment and betterment of conditions
for all time. This must be done in
manner that will involve respect for
law, proper and reasonable regulations
which will eliminate all adjuncts to
the strictly legitimate liquor traffic,
and certain stipulated restrictions and
requirements that cannot be avoided
or evaded. '.
In the same connection the saloon
should once and for all cease to be a
factor in local politics. After course
of action is determined upon for the
saloons government, 1t should not be
permitted to make the question OF
regulation campaign issue. Where
proposition is involved such as has
just been before the people, the liquor
interests could not be restrained from
making fight, and they will not cease
to fight while the possibility of pro
hibition exists. But where the ques
ton of regulation is adopted, it should
be taken above politics and the sys
tenn, what ever it may be, made per
manent and binding and sufficient!
safeguarded by penalties.
If prohibition should carry, the op
portunity will be afforded to test tn,
experiment. But such a turn o
events would not settle the matter
1t would merely afford a means o
prolonging the agitation.
An outcome of the election that will
result in stringent regulation alon
practical lines, will after all is sal
and done afford the most eficien
method Of dealing with the nue.
vexed subject.

Uncle Joe's Goose Cooked.

Uncle Joe Cannon has cooked his
goose as a presidential candidate.
When he refused to assist the ways
and means committee to report the
bill repeating all duties upon wood
pulp and print paper, he drove the
last nail into his coffin. Herman
Ritter, president of the American
Newspaper association, asked all mem.
bers of the Associated Press through
out the country to telegraph immedi-
ately to Speaker Cannon and RcLre-
sentatives Serene e. Payne and John
Dalzell. alleging that these three men
are holding back the wood pulp bill.
The result has been roar that has
shaken congress to its center, and
Uncle Joe has discovered that the
press is solidly arrayed against him.
One result of this is the election of
two national delegates from the First
congressional district in this state with
instructions to vote for Taft, so that
Cannon will not get a. solid Illinois
delegation. This was. done for the
moral effect that it will have on the
presidential situation.
The wood pulp trust has not an ar
gument to sustain lit. Every consid
GRAFTON both for the reservation OF
the forests and the tax on intelligence
demands its abolition.
The president in his message calls
public attention to the abuse, and yet
Speaker Cannon stands in the way
of any reform.
