STOCK FOOD swlNDLeRs.
Dr. Morsman Goes After Them. One
Case Brought to Light Here.

Read DR. Morsman's Article on
stock Foods" in this issue of The
Tribune.
Not long since in conversation with
a farmer we learned of what he was
pleased to call an experience. He
it seemed wanted chance to get
rich quick. An agent for a partieu-
lar brand of stock food, warranted to
cure every i'll to which the animal
world is heir to fand they are legion)
called upon this brother and induced
him to sign a contract making said
brother sole agent for the factory, in
the county in which he lived Three
tons of the magic cure-all was ship
ped, followed soon after by the state
ment that the amount specified in the
note was due.
Rather than go into the courts the
amount was paid, the medicine" was
stored in the granary and last
spring, at stock sale, was offered
for sale at auction and brought one
tenth of the price paid the factory.
DR.. Morsmans article on the val
ue of such medicine is both interest
ing as well as timely. Read it.

MARKET LETTER.
Letter From our Regular Correspond.
ent at Kansas City.

Kansas City, Aug l, l910.-Too
many cattle at each Of the big mar.
kets last week caused heavy declines
on all kinds and the loss in some
classes, notably stockers and feed
ers. was so great as to put the mar
ket on same on the verge of demor-
aliZation. At the five leading mar
kets receipts last week were sixty
thousand cattle greater than during
corresponding week last year, and
this big run following the liberal
supply of the previous week put the
situation in the hands of the buyers
completely. Best fed steers lost 20
to 35 cents. medium grades of killing
cattle 80 to so cents, low grades of
killing cattle, stockers and feeders
and calves declined so to rs cents.
Dry pastures and lack of stock water
were the moving forces on a good
many cattle last week, together with
the fears of a protracted drought,
W
to get in ahead of the big rush that
good many people confidently ex-
pected would be made this week. The
run today is a surprise, only 10000
head here, including 1000 calves, and
not half as much pannicky talk about
dry weather is heard today as a
week ago. There has been no gen
eral rain over the country, and local
rains have not been enough to do
much good, but surplus receipts this
week will be confined to offerings of
owners compelled to liquidate. The
market is strong to 10 higher today
top corn fed steers at $7.85. Most
of the run today is pasture cattle, the
best wintered westerns of big weights
selling up to $6.75, and medium
weight steers $3.50 to $5.75, best
feeders around $500. Best grass
cows sell around $3.50, best veals at
$3.50.
After some erratic movement last
week, the hog market closed with
sharp losses, and there is big crash
in the situation today, prices 15 to
80 cents lower today. A large per-
centage of the run is heavy sows, and
prices on this kind are hardest hit,
heavies selling today at $7.65 to $8.
Packers complain that demand for
provisions is not up to expectations,
buyers evidently waiting for some
new developments before providing
for future requirements. Prospects
of lower provisions naturally makes
stocks as muchh as possible. .1ah Run
here is 5000 today, but with buyers
in their PRESENT. frame of mind 1t
will take extremely small runs to
resuscitate the market from the
blow received today.

A Timely Expose.,

The Tribune desires to cali atten
tion to an article in another column
of this issue dealing with the stock
food swindle. The article is timely
as this class of graft and swindline
has been overworked in Richardson
and adjacent counties 1t is an arti-
Gle that should be read by every
farmer who is subscriber to The
Tribune, and passed along to those
who are not subscribers. 1t is "a
swindle so palpably transparent, sc
coarse in it's working. that it should
be treated the same as the "shell
game" the gold brick" and similar
swindles
Read it and pass 1t along.

Kansas Man Plays the Baby Act.

OF all the baby acts on record, the
one made by the Kansas man who
attempted to catch the auto-horse thleI
is the funniest TO expect thief OF
the kind this man was known to be
to quietly submit to arrest when
there was chance to get away, is
ludicrous. Moral suasion coming
from a woman or child might have
had some effect, but from man
armed with gun, well the fellow
did more harm than good.
We don't believe in shooting, neith-
er in stealing, but when necessary, a
man should decide before he starts
out what he will do, and either go pre-
pared to do business, or stay in the
house.

Despite Lord Minto's refusal to in.

the operations of the thousands OF
Chinese troops that now hold the
Tibetan capital, several members OF

on the government demanding from
China full explanation OF her inten

rier.
Washington, Feb. 25.-Whether a
state may fix minimum rate on a
commodity of interstate commerce be-
low the cost of transportation was the
basis for keen argument before the
supreme court of the United States
The legal representatives of the state
Of North Dakota defended the consti.
tutionality of the state law Of 1907,
fixing the rate on coal, and counsel for
the Northern Pacific Railway company
attacked it as designating a rate be.
low the cost of service.
Counsel for the state argued that
the reason why the cost of service was
not controlling where a single rate
was involved was twofold. In the
firstplace, it was contended, it was i'm
possible to determine with anything
like accuracy what such cost of serv-
ice was. In the second place, there
was no injury to the equitable title of
the carrier as a result of the cost of
service not being controlling. as long
as the carrier was allowed on the
whole to earn fair profit on the in
vestment in the business.
In the case of the rate on coal it
was argued that it may be entirely
reasonable for the state to put In force
low rate for the purpose of develop
ing a great natural resource by stimu.
lating the purchase of local coal in
place Of foreign coal, through the re-
duction in the cost of the former.
Argument Declared Illogical.
As to the argument that the reduc.
tion of the rate on coal meant an ad-
ditional burden on other commodities
counsel for the state contended that it
was illogical to speak of this as rob
bing Peter to pay Paul" According
to their point of view the subject was
neither more or less than a case of
proper rate classification, with the in
cidental result that one commodity
sustains a greater weight of expense
than another.
1t was said that the result of de-
cision in accordance with the conten.
tion of the railroads would be to Grip
pie seriously, If not practically to de.
stroy, the ratemaking power of the
nation and of every state.
''The burden of proof is upon the
railroads to show that the rate in.
volved will cut down the net earnings
of the railroad from purely intrastate
business below the point of a fair
profit" said the states counsel
On the other hand, the counsel for
the Northern Pacific contended that in
order to be constitutional the rate
must permit fair amount of profit
for the railroad.
