HIS NAME is LEGION

Last month he thanked up very
strong
And got an awful jag on.
But New Years Day he nimbly
climbed
Upon the water wagon.
Two weeks have passed, his firm re-
solve
Now rests in peaceful slumber,
And once again we find him
Leaning up against the lumber.

If what you ask for is right you'll
get it from Doc. If it's off color he'll
turn you down. That's his record.
He is something of a. sport and a,
square one and he likes to see every
body have a good time as long as the.
game is fair.
No man is too big for him to talk
to nor too small for him to listen to-:
And either will get just what's conn.,
ing.
He won't fool you to get your vote.
His word is good and what he says
he'll do, he'll do. And that's his rec
ord too.
Is this the kind of a man you.
want for mayor?

FORTY CENT PORK.

(From the Philadelphia Telegraph.)
william Russell, manager of a
trust packing house i'm Chicago, has
presented an Illuminating explanation
of the high price of bacon. There Is
too much of it, according to this Dam
iel who sits in judgment upon the law
of supply and demand. Three or four
months ago there was said to be very
little of it. The packers declared that
the farmer had quit raising hogs, and
was turning his attention to other
things. But investigation i'm census
year proved that there was little truth
i'm this contention. Something had to
be done to discount public opinion,
and Mr.. Russell has done it, The hogs
are too fat" he says. Bacon that has
been produced from them is heavy,
and heavy bacon is not so expensive" ="
1t seems to us that we have heard
an argument of similar tenor before,
except that the effect was different
In 1896 a general depression with low
ering prices throughout the country
was attributed by many stump
speakers to production" There
Is so much to eat in the country, and
il is so cheap, declared the cart-tail
evangel, that many people are going
hungry Now there is so much To eat
and It is so fat and juicy that even
the hog-meat has become "A luxury
hog meat, once the main reliance Of
the wage-earner. Meantime the pack
ers continue to pay dividends.
The farmer may be getting more for
his product than ever before, hut he
is not getting enough or else the CON
sumner is paying too much. Last month
the average price OF live hogs in this
country was SS.27 the hundrcdweight
with bacon at 90 cents a pound the
average retail price across the coun-
ter cannot be less than 80 cents. and II
is perhaps considerably more than
that or thirty-odd dollars a hundred
weight Who gets the difference Of
S2I.25 between $50 and $S27? The
railroad? Not any more; the railroad
rate is fixed by law The retailer? Re
tailers declare that high prices are
driving them out Of business There is
eNtortion somewhere, and Il cannot be
explained by the assertion that farm
ers are wasting grain by putting too
much fat on their swine. In this con-
nection Il Is well To remember that
there Is no waste az the slaughter
house The by-product not only pays
all expenses. but Il Is source Of
profit As has been said with greater
truth than elegance, packers utilize
everything but the squoal when
slaughtering hogs.
