Swift, president of Swift & Go. packers. MT Swift IA one of the leading packers in the coun- try and his statement for the case oi the packers issued at South St. Paul ls significant.
 In his statement Mir. Swift says the people have the remedy for high prices in their own hands and that the packers are not to blame. He says that the people want too much meat of the fancy quality that they do not buy or cook meat properly and that he considers the fireless cooker a factor in household economies, But back of it all the western packer sees the lack of production of meat as the basic cause of high prices.
 MT Swift said:
 First, cattle ranges in the west. where countless herds once grazed have been broken up into farms, re- dacing somewhat the supply of our meat animals; at the same time, our rapidly growing population continues Go increase the demand. the nation Is facing a serious question in the re duced quantity of livestock raised, and depleeing the soils fertility.

POPE REBUKES MAYOR.
Recent Speech Criticizing Papacy Is
Cause.

Rome, Sept. 24.-Mayor Nathan
whose recent speech criticizing the
papacy called forth a rebuke from the
pope, today issued a reply to his holt
ness.
The mayor says the pope makes
more evident than did the mayors
speech the contrast between the Rome
of the past and the Rome of the pres
eNt
The mayor continues, saying as the
supreme pontiff from the height of Ms
chair in st. Peters has the duty to
tell the truth as it appears to him so
the mayor has an equal duty to his
fellow citizen to delineate the new
political and civil era. The offense
taken by the pope did not come from
his words. says the mayor, but from
the fact that advancing fatally with
sure steps even as the dawning day
the new Italy is lighting the road for
anxious travellers.
The influences guiding the people are
ruled by laws that govern the universe.
They are above the pontiff and the
mayor.
Mr.. Nathan concludes:
These forces move, evolve and
broaden. Men raise their eyes. seeking
a faith illumined by knowledge. If 1
have offened the law I will answer be-
fore the courts. If 1 have offended the
duty of my office the citizens must
judge me. If have offended religion
my tranquil conscience without any in
termediary will answer before God"

Unterrified Leader From Galena Says
Prospects Are Bright.

Col. w. F. Sapp, national Democratic
committeeman from Kansas, was in
Topeka today after a strenuous week
spent in campaigning. He is as opti-
mistic as usual. Speaking of conditions
as he has found them he said: There
never has been time in the history
of the state when the prospects for
Democratic victory were as bright as
they are right now. In the Harris
campaign we were hopeful but the
prospects are now brighter than they
were at that time and Democracy wilt
sweep the state in November, for this
is Democratic year.
Republicans of Kansas who believe in
the Republican doctrine are not willing to
support a ticket this year which will in

that celebrated wall of William Allen

now attempting to place the state in the
