for the current year falling about 1S
per cent below the corresponding aver
age for the preceding five-year period.
The loss is, however. compensated to
some extent by the greater weight Of
tn hogs brought to market The short
age at all the seven markets exceeded
"a per cent when compared with the
seven months average for the five pre-
it runs as high as 80 per cent, and in
the case of Kansas City not less than
% per cent Other noteworthy features
of this years commercial livestock
movement are the increasing number
Of calves and the smaller average
weight OF cattle marketed. A similar
decline may be noted in the monthly
arrivals of livestock at the four lead
ing Atlantic seacoast cities.
The July shipments of packing house
products from Chicago, 162,9s7,4o0
pounds. fell likewise below the June
figures, which were the heaviest
monthly shipments for the year. AS
compared with the average July ship
ments for te preceding fve-year per-
iod. a decline of 16 per cent is shown.
The stocks of meat on the last day of
the month at five principal packing
centers. 1S7,32s,S22 pounds. decreased
about 100000 pounds since the end
of June and We're about one-third less
than the average for the same date in
the five preceding years.
The foreign trade in live animals
and meat products shows an even more
development. Thus cattle
exports which for the seven months
of 1906 were 33S,711 head, valued at
about 25ik million dollars, have fallen
to 5S,12S in number valued at AS mil
lion dollars. The lative loss of the
foreign market for our meat products
may be realized from the fact that not
the large increase in
prices. particularly during the last few
years, the total value of the meat prod
ucts exported during the seven months
declined from s121,17s,563 in 1906 to
73,799.131 during the present year

DIG UP N SCRANTON.

Scranton journal
There is a man in Scranton who has
some very old fashioned, original and
peculiar ideas in regard to the temper
ance question He believes that there
should be no liquor laws. but that the
whisky traffic should be as unrestrict-
ed as the traffic in flour or soda water.
This man would go back 100 years
and have whisky again placed on sale
at the tavern and the grocery, and he
would permit every man who cares for
one to have his own still and manufac-
ture his own corn juice" He would
have no legal regulation Of its manu-
facture and sale other than that which
surrounds all other commodities. This
would wipe out large amount of gov
eriment revenue and would add to the
taxation of people who do not consume
liquor This man does not believe there
is justice in special taxation levid
upon the consumer of liquor-or
tobacco. either, for that matter. He
don't believe that is a fair way to
punish them. He says that some poor
old DRINKS. with no property, are paying
more toward the support of the gov
eminent than some total abstainers
who are worth many thousands. This
don't look to him like a square deal
He thinks there was less drunkenness
in the days when ministers entertain
ed their visitors with a glass of grog
and the grocer treated his customer to
a swig OF "old rye" when he paid his
bill, than there is in these days when
the law books say thou shalt not
and when the country is filled with
joints and bootleggers of every descrip-
ton and drunkenness is common. He
believes that each successive prohibit
tory law has made conditions worse
than those proceeding them, and that
they have bred a multitude of evils
including Carrie Nation. He believes
in the individual right Of every man to
choose his own beverages, free from
legal interference, and he believes that
a large majority of them are capable
of doing so without committing nuis-
ance. He believes that the man who
commits crime should be punished
whether the cause is whisky or wom-
en-. All of which is very peculiar. This
man don't drink drop of Intoxicating
liquor, and wouldn't if it was free az
water. He simply thinks he has q right
to.
1t is needless to say that the Journal
does not agree with this peculiar in
dividual.

GOOD ROADS AND HUMAN MATURE.
Logan Walter Page. OF the United
States department of agriculture, in

Logan Walter Page, OF the United
States department of agriculture, in a
letter to the National Grange, says:
"As the roads are improved. the rural
districts will become more attractive.
the farmers will continue to farm and
to do so more intelligently, the con-
gested population of the cities will be-
gin to flow from their alleys to the
healthy atmosphere of the farm and
become producers instead of idle con-
sumers, and our country will march
forward to greater industrial attain
ments and a higher and nobler civiliza
ton"
There you have the fundamental
reason for highway Improvement. 1t is
more in the long run, to get the town
people into the country. than to get
country people into the town. When
the back-to- the-soil movement be-
comes thing of joy it will be move
ment, indeed. To make country life
attractive Is the problem. If we are as
highly commercialized as it is said we
are, you would think the profits of
! farming, as exemplitied in the expert
ence of the last ten years, would be
attractive enough, but there must be
some mistake about that. In the loneli-
ness of his isolated kingdom, it was
for communion with his fellowman
| that Robinson Crusoe longed. 1t is this
| thing of being Robinson Crusoed that
drives the boy from the farm and
keeps from it those who otherwise
would be there Until the line Of
hunger is reached, the profits of the
farm are not a sufficient allurcment
with many to neutralize the hold of the
gregarious pleasures of the town. Good
roads can't be beat as prescription
to supply the needed equalizing ingre-
dent We must cater to human ma
! ture

1HE MAN WITH The SHOW.

At Grand Island, Nebraska, some
fellow had a wild west show. 1t hap
pened the Roosevelt train was due to
arrive five minutes before the perform
ance was scheduled to begin. So the
proprietor telegraphed the passenger
agent in charge Of the Roosevelt party
Insisting that Roosevelt make no stop
al Grand Island. He said it would hurt
the show. The people would go to see
Roosevelt and wouldn't get to the ticket
wagon on time But Roosevelt stopped
at Grand Island
Over in New York bunch are run
ming very profitable sideshow to the
main tent of government. They didn't
want Roosevelt to stop on the day the
imitation show of popular governm ent
is scheduled to begin its performance.
They were afraid of the receipts at the
ticket wagons So they told him So
But Roosevelt will stop on the day OF
the New York convention
All these fellows want is to be 'let
alone" They don't want opposition or
interference or even the presence of the
Roosevelts and the Rooseveltians. so
they gather the canvasmen Of politics,
arm them with the tent stakes Of pa
tronage and the like and request i'm
mediate absence Barnes, the New
York sub boss. who had charge OF the
warning given Roosevelt to stay away
explains it:
What the people Of the state now
want is to be let alone" said Mr..
Barnes. Business interests are being
put in bad way by this wanton po-
litical agitation. People want to con-
serve their business interests and do
not want them destroyed by political
demagog cues. The business interests OF
the state are tired of facing chaos
However. Roosevelt and the square
deal will stop Just the same and the
people will meet the train if they need
70 stay up o. nights to be there.

planes in the country, but since Bleriot
ufactured more than two hundred and
fifty and Henri Farman more than one
hundred. The Bleriot monoplane costs
about $4,000. but can be had for $4,000
with a cheaper motor. The Farman is
sold at $500, the voisin at $4,000, the
Antoinette at the same price and the
Sommer at $500.
Why should sober minded citizens
bed by 10 o'clock at night pay lighting
taxes for others who, being Of a jovial
turn of mind, prefer to stay in cafes,
clubs or bars until midnight and do not
return home until the early hours of
the morning? In Germany this ques-
ton has now been answered. To the
village of Zarkau, near Glogau, in
Siesia, must be given the honor Of in
stalling a system of automatic electric
lighting for the streets. The electric
lights burn every night from the out
skirts of Glogau thru the village of
Zarkau until 10 o'clock at a mutual
cost to the com immunity in general. Then
they are switched out. At each end of
this stretch on an iron pillar, stands
a small iron cupboard lighted by tiny
electric light. Those persons who are
out after 10 o'clock wishing to have
their way lighted must insert a 10
pfennig piece into a slot in the side OF
the iron cupboard. Then the nine lamps
placed along this stretch burst forth
into a twelve minute life, this enabling
the passenger to find his way in light
ness to his house

ends to serve. Two years from now,
it may not be surprising if we who are

Taft against these very standpatters,

The Representative paragraph con-
cludes: "Cannon's fame is secure"
Let us waste no time befogging the is
sues by praising Cannon, or placing
laurels on his brow. Cannon is a very
wealthy old man. He has proflted f.
nancially by his long career. He has
gloried in a long period as car, and
while a car hates to abdicate, no
friend Of progress will waste his time
shedding tears over his enforced abdi-
cation.
