1t is to be expected that the Violate rs
of law, and those who want to see the
law violated, or to violate it themselves
will antagonize an officer sworn to en-
force the law, and who does enforce it
to the best of his ability, Conscientious
ly and impartially. It is also to be ex-
pected that those who believe the laws
of the State should be so enforced-and
so far as private expression of opinion
is concerned there seems to be great
unanimity on this point-should aid
and encourage such an officer in the
discharge of his duties. But with many
their practices-and their votes-belie
their professions. They help to elect
an officer and when he performs the
duties he is sworn to perform they lose
no opportunity to discredit him and
obstruct his work. This condition
makes it the more imperative that the
friends of temperance, of law and OF
der, of good morals and of good citizen
ship, should rally to the support of such
an officer as our present sheriff, Hon.
Amos F. Carleton, who has lived up to
the platform of the party which elected
him, and to his oath of office.

s'persistently followed from its incep.

through certain newspapers, and more
recently through scheming and dishon-

enough to do to keep track of railroad

why meats are higher: High interest
rates, scarcity of money and high cost
OF feed caused many cattle and other
animals to be sacrificed last fall and
winter The feeding districts are de-
nuded of their animals, and now that
the surplus is out of the way, prices
have advanced rapidly. Retail prices,
1t is claimed, did not fall equally with
wholesale rates, but are being marked
up much more rapidly High prices
are predicted for some time to come"
