KANSAS CITY MARKETS

Kansas City, April 1S.-There was fair supply of range fed steers on the market last week, and they sold about steady for the week, and west ern cows and heifers were eagerly sought, sales of same at $3.S0 to 5.45. The total cattle supply today is 10,- 900 head, market strong to ten high CT. and the run includes string of Utah hay fed steers at S5.65, Idaho hay fed at $5.SO and s5.90, and Colo radO sugar mill steers at $5.5O to $6.30. Range stOckers and feeders are selling readily as natives at S4.S0 to s5.65, panhandle fed steers S5.40 to $5.S5, Oklahoma corn and cotton seed meal fed steers at $5.75 to S6.6O. Packers continue to argue that fu- ture markets for beef are not likely to show any improvement, but with the ante Easter fasting now a thing of the past and on the basis of the present conservative marketing of cattle, sellers look for good markets.
 Sheep and lamb receipts are hold ing up pretty good, and the market is satisfactory, lambs possible a shade lower than a week ago, but Texas muttons stronger. Run is 5000 head here today, market steady, lambs worth S7.5O to sS.1O, light weight yearlings eagerly sought at s7.O0 to s760, wethers s6.00 to s6.60, ewes s5.SO to $625, including choice Texas clipped ewes around $500. Clipped fed stock is selling 50 to 15 cents below above range of prices. Some medium class Texas muttons sold at s5.15 to $5.35, weighing 71 to S6 lbs. Trade in country kinds has been of small volume, on account of limited supplies, rather than be- cause of lack of demand.

TROUBLE WITH TARIFF.
A Subscriber Tries to ''Cast Light in
Dark Places"

To the Editor of the State Journal:
1t is with much regret that L learn
through the columns of the state
Journal of the trouble which the tariff
question is causing Mr.. Ewing Herbert
of Hiawatha. Kan
1t seems to be with Mr. Herbert, as
one Englishman said of another, that
one of his chief characteristics was
the remoteness of his mind from the
subject under consideration"
AS an example, take Mr.. Herbert's
tariff talk. published in the State
Journal December Is. and we find
him prophesying a great victory at the
polls in 1912 for 1.-The regulars who
stand pat
We also find him referring TO Mr..
Cannon as 1.-The great speaker and
indulg1ng in more prophecy Wh1ch
may not be recorded to his credit
away up yonder."
Secretary MacVeagh, in a speech
December Z, before the Massachusetts
Bankers association. declared that a
NEW tariff era" has begun, but this
brings no comfort to Mr.. Herbert.
Continuing, Mr.. Herbert declares
prices all around" while Mr. Taft
contends in his message that "the
proportionate increase in the output
of gold furnishes a substantial explain
alton of at least part of the increase
in prices Also the increase in popu-
lation and the more expensive mode
of living of the people, which have not
been accompanied by proportionate
increase in acreage production. may
furnish farther reason"
In the same talk Mr.. Herbert says:
1--WE little men can't know great
deal about a great subject like the
tariff, SO if a great man like President
Taft says the present law is all right
We've got to trust him.
On page 1873 of Mr.. Taft's book.
D,-nh n
am not myself tariff expert"
In regard to President Taft's speech
at Winona. it will be remembered that
the president was out on a lark with
a handsome sum Of money to spend,
and it may be assumed that he was
only twitting Senator LaFollette.
With the divine injunction, Love
thy neighbor as myself a motive.
gladly extend a hand to Mr.. Herbert
in his trouble and would kindly sug-
study of the tariff question. with Hon.
Tom McNeal as instructor.
l have faith in Mr.. McNeaTs ability
to take him out of the 1--WE little men,
column and place him-well, not in
the LaFollette- Cummins- BristoW COL
umn (for that would be working a
miracle), but at least on higher
ground.
Should Mr.. Herbert think we'll of
my suggestion. it may be well to act
on it early. for when Mr.. McNeal goes
to congress the good Lord knows he
will have his hands full.
Mr. Herbert says. Without tariff
duty to pay, South American Repub-
lies can deliver meat to the American
market for six cents a pound" Well,
the farmer is somewhat chary about
converting his nubbins into meat. and
should Mr.. Herbert be so fortunate as
to secure the services of Mr.. McNeal
l think it would be well not to shy at
six-cent meat, for he will need meat,
| considerable meat. while Mr.. McNeal
| puts him through the process of evo-
! luton.
! Finally. I shall be glad to learn of
| Mr. Herbert's success along lines
which make for the general uplift.

Speed, Kan, Dec. 2S.-This Philips
county town is speeding forward as
its name suggests. On account of the
disagreeable cold weather work has
been suspended on the modern three
story brick hotel which is being built
by Sam Droppleman at cost OF about
$4,000.
Other new business buildings erect

The other two are about 80 by 70
feet and will cost each about 81, 500.

New Business Buildings Projected.
Among the new business buildings
in contem plation for the spring is one
by F. E. Taylor. which will be large
enough for a public hall and opera
house on the second floor G. G. Ford
will also erect suitable building to
do general repair work and the manu-
facture of his sleigh runner, for which
he has a patent. He has met with
good sales already.
There is fine water power in the
Solomon river at Speed. A Touring
mill ought to do a great business here.
There is some talk of Incorporation.
A town building up so solidly with
good buildings as is Speed deserves to
be incorporated soon as they have the
requisite number of inha bitants.
Speed will continue to speed on
ward and upward because the Speed
ties have the money and push to do so.

Mass Plays VIII Be Abolished
at TOday's Conference.
Forward Pass Also Regarded as
a Dangerous Feature.
WEST POINT IN LEAD.
Military School Has Plans to
Simplify the Game.
Practice of Employing Pro-
fessiOnal Coaches DisprOved.

New York, Dec. 2S.-F'ifty colleges out
of approximately So in the intercollegi-
ate athletic association have voted for
the retention of American football
games with the elimination of mass
plays and other dangerous plays.
This was made known by the eXecu-
tive committee of the association on
the eve of the meeting which is in ses-
sion here today.
Five institutions voted that the pres
ent game is satisfactory except in minor
details, II favored the English game
Of Rugby, seven took midway position
between the American game and Rugby
and nine voted that either the Ameri-
can game should be radically changed
or Rugby substituted.
The executive committee. it was an
nOunced. favored the changes proposed
by the athletic committee of West Point
and would SO report to the convention
today. The West Point committee has
prepared a resolution declaring foot
ball has developed dangers which are
recognized to be intolerable and it has
become necessary to radicate undue
roughness-
Among the abuses of the game the
West Point committee names:
AN excessive desire to win at any cost
which develops a tendency to semi
professional games: the practice of en-
ploying professional coaches not identi-
fed with the college, and a dependence
on preponderant weight and strength
instead of mental acutenesS and indi-
vidual skill
1t is further contention that indis-
eliminate playing of obviously over
matched contests should be prohibited
and to this end the forward pass is
condemned as extremely dangerous be-
cause of the unprotected position of
Ia ,Istx- thn TOf.leJ
Ring and pulling of a fallen player is
condemned and penalties are provided
for players piling upon a man who has
fallen with the ball.
The association is not a governing
body and has no direct control over
college sports, but whatever it recon-
mends will more than likely meet with
the approval of the rules committee.
