it was a shame Thaw had not finished

William Thaw Sd is nephew
OF Harry Thaw. and ever since he was
old enough to cheat the law about

came so bad at one time that his rela-

a guardian for him, his thirst and his
$4,000 a year. Nobody being found
willing to assume responsibility for
the thirst, the court went on a strike.
Thaw's mother hit on the plan Of hid
ing the young mans clothes to prevent
his going out after drink. but it was
easy enough for him to bride a stable
boy or a chauffeur.
Finally Miss Gladys Virginia Brad

Biddle Of Philadelphia. member of a
family so exclusive that it won't speak
to its own butler. accomplished the
impossible. Young Thaw fell in love
with her. told her so, and she accepted
him on one condition. It was agreed
that whenever young Thaw's mother
certified to Miss Bradley that the son
had been sober for six months, and
had himself securely strapped to the
aqua studebaker. she would marry
him.
Mrs. Thaw has given that notice
finally. Young Thaw is sober, and
there are reasons to believe that he
will remain so. So he and the future

NOT A CHEERFUL VIEW.

Tie view taken of the recent tum-
bic in meat prices by DIR. Wiley, chief
OF the bureau of chemistry of the de-
partment of agriculture. and by Sec
rotary Wilson of that department
VIII appear to most people as the cor
rect one, leaving out the theory that
1t is due to manipulation. Most CT
the men in Salt Lake interested in
the livestock business have said in
the past few days that the heavy
shipments of livestock to Chicago
was primarily responsible for the
drop in prices. and that a rise could
be expected later along.
The shipments Of sheen. cattle and
hogs from the western states 10 Chi
cago in the past month have been
heavier perhaps than they have ever
been In the history of the west. There
are fewer livestock in Montana, Ida
no and Utah than there have been
Tor many years. This is partly due
70 the high prices OF hay. and partly
TO the high prices for livestock that
have prevailed in the Chicago mar
ket.. The result of the present dron
in prices will be that further shin
ments viii not be made, which will
have the effect of stifening the mar
ket
PLENTY OF corn and grain may have
deterrent effect on high prices in
the future. The farmer and stock
raiser will be able to feed freely. He
VIII be able to sell his stock at a
lower figure and still make a reason
able margin of profit The high prica
Of hay also prevented the eastern
farmer from buying western livestock
in the Chicago market, as he usually
does TO feed during the few months
OF the winter, and then sell in the
spring. But the corn crop of greater
proportions than usual ought to have
a stimulating effect on that branch
Of activity in the livestock market
DR.. Wiley is disposed to attribute
the recent fall in meat prices to the
naughty bears, who are always look
Ing for a chance TO hurt the bulls. He
Is Of the impression that the inter
ests' have temporarily released their
hold on our Threats in order to get q
fresh grip. Inasmueh as the inter-
ests.' as DR.. Wiley calls them. al
ready had pretty fair grip, the or
binary man who is not a fortune
teller can see no reason WHY thew
should release that grip. The emil
nent chemist at Washington thinks
the big corporations are after some
Independent firm which they wish 70
squeeze. and after that painful and
serious operation they will return to
their mutton, beef and pork as If
were.
Let us hope that DR.. Wiley is mis-
taken. While he is an efficient
honest and capable government of
ficer. he occasionally sees things that
are not there. That may be the case
this time.

Blame Farmers and Packers.

Retail meat dealers have placed
upon the farmers and the packers
responsibility for the higher price of
meat in testimony given before the
select Senate committee which began
its inquiry into the increased cost of
living. Five retail men from New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and
Washington were heard. and Walter
Brown Washington dealer, who
Kills his own meat, was the only one
who did not admit that the price of
meat had gone up at least 10 per cent
during the past five years. Mr..
Brown insisted that prices were prac-
tically the same now as then. All
agreed, however. that competition
among the retailers kept the price TO
the consumer as low as possible, con-
sistent with the price charged by the
wholesaler.
