LIVE STOCK SHORTAGE.

Commercial movements of live
stock and meat products for the first
. half of 1910, as reported to the Blu,
reau of Statistics of the Department
of Commerce and Labor, to some ex,
: tent reflect the shortage of the ami
NAL food supply in the country. While
. the June movements were in most
cases heavier than for the earlier
months, the record for the first hall
of the year, both in the domestic and
foreign commerce, indicates a con,
siderable shrinkage in the commercial
supply of some of the prime neces,
sariee of life.
Live stock receipts during June at
seven primary interior markets, $685.,
$50 head, for the first time since Jan.
uary showed a gain and exceeded even
the June, 1909, receipts of 1852, S24
! head. OF the total 651 ,679 head for
head. Of the total 651, 679 head were
cattle; 101, 400 head, calves; 1882,
692 head, hogs; 6S3,6SS head, sheep;
and 20,3S1 haed, horses and mules
The June receipt of hogs, while decid,
eddy higher than in either of the three
preceding months, still continues
much below the average for like per.
iods in earlier years, while the cattle
figures exceed the corresponding 1903
and 1908 totals. The shortage in the
commercial supply of live stock is best
seen from a comparison of the half
yearly figures, which totaied 16,463,
75e head in 1910. compared with 49,.
0S1,725 head in 1909 and 20,S20,3
head in 1908. The loss of over 21z
million head, as compared with 1909
is due almost entirely 10 the smaller
number of hogs brought to market
Assuming that the average six-months
receipts for the last five years at the
seven primary markets represent the
normal commercial supply, the short
age in hog receipts thus far in 1910 is
almost Is per cent. However the larger
average weight of the animals report.
ed for the present year offsets, to
some extent, the loss in numbers. The
distribution of this loss in hog receipts
a loss of 81 per cent, as compared
with the above average; Kansas City,
a loss of rs per cent; Omaha, loss of
20 per cent, and ST. Louis a loss OF
only 5 per cent. The curtailment in
the commercial supply of cattle is less
pronounced, the months receipts for
the present year being about 6 per
cent below the average half-yearly re
ceipts for the proceeding FIVE year
period II should be stated, however,
that the cattle figures for Omaha and
ST. Louis include the receipts OF
calves. Inasmuch as the months
receipts of calves for the present year
at the Eve markets which report them
separately were over % per cent
larger than tfiessvesage g months re,
ceipts for the preceding iye-year per
fSd. II follows that the receipts Of cat
tie at the seven leading markets were
really lower than stated above, and
the losses, as compared with earlier
years, correspondence larger. As
compared with the above average. the
receipts of sheep at the seven leading
markets, 3,S20,256 head, show a loss
OF over ii per cent II is noteworthy
that the decline in the supply OF sheep
began after 1906. that Of cattle alter
1907, and that of hogs after 1908.

the side of the people. There is no
question whatever as to the senti-
ment OF the people. They believe
that the square deal should be put
into commission. They believe that
the rights OF men are more import
ant than the rights of property. They
believe that government should be
for the people and not for the trusts.
They believe that there are men in
high public positions ,Jjwho are sin
cerely desiruus of doing what may
be necessary tosarestpTet government
to its primary purpose and that these
men should receive the hearty COM
mendation of their constituents.
they also believe that there are 9TH
er public men, laying claim to leader
ship, who are engaged in betraying
the people, and that it should be
made so plain that all can under
stand that such men do not deserve

short, Iowa believes that Cummins
and Dolliver stand today as repre-
sentatives of the very best there is
in public life. This is the message
which Iowa sent eastward the past

note. The voice OF Iowa is for max

Sioux City Journal: There need be

triumph Senator Cummins has
achieved in thus dominating the re-
publican party of Iowa The same
vote that gave him the tariff vindica.
ton he demanded made things as
awkward as they possibly could be
for the republican candidates for rep
resentatiyes in most of the Iowa con-
Sressional districts. Representatives
from six of the ten districts now rep
resented by republicans voted for the
tariff law that has now been branded
as not in conformance with the plat
form pledge. Four of these are can
didates for reelection and two of
them are prOgressives. The failure
to agree upon some rational basis of
harmony at the state convention has
hurt the state ticket, which is made
up of both regulars and progressives.
Regulars are just now feeling resent
full, and if the truth were told, many
progressives have an uncomf Portable
feeling that the business done in
their name has been carried too far.
But one thing is quite clear. The
Iowa insurgent leader has had his
triumph. His prestige as national
leader has been expanded. Having
given him all that he wanted, the re-
publicans of Iowa will have to make
the best of the situation as it re-
Iates to candidates for state, district
and local offices.

IOWA REPueLIcANIsM,

The republican daily press OF Iowa
has been very free to comment on
the action of the state convention in
Des Moines last week. While some
of the opinions expressed by the rep
resentatives of both factions are ex-
IRENE. the sentiment in the main
seems to be to forget differences for
the present and proceed with the bus
mess of electing the ticket. Chief
among the comments are the follow
ing:
The Des Moines Tribune predicts
that within two weeks there will be
less signs of dissensioD In the repub,
lican ranks than there have been al
any time in five years. Before the
umpire gives his decision one might
believe that there was to be free
forall fight with both mines in the
fray. The moment the umpire de
cides, that particular row ends and
everybody turns his eyes to the next
play. The only umpire who has con.
tinual trouble on his hands Is the one
who does not give final and undis.
pntable decisions. This time the um-
pire has decided with loud, clear
voice. Everybody heard him. Iowa
