One OF the rarest things to run
across in priut Is specific Information
about the care of horse, especially
his feed. Farm papers take it for
granted that all their readers know
without being told, But many
people, not having been brought up
on a farm, yet logging to own horse,
hesitate about getting one lest they
should not know what or how much
to 'feed the brute" The Youths
Companion on its Family Page for
January tells all about it. Indeed,

INSTRUCTIVE PRICE COM

We are enjoying al era or suffering
an era, as YOU like it-of very high
prices. A very large sumber OF
articles of commcn necessity cos,
more than they have ever cost
before, except in war times, when
the true purchasing power of money
sank as low as so cents on the
dollar.
The great advance in prices is a
distinct advantage to the farmers of
the United States and to the people
generally Of the agricultural states,
because the advance is not general,
does not apply to everything, but
does apply emphatically to the
products Of the farm.
Bradstrset's have recently pub
lished an elaborate table of com
parsons, in which they lave gone
carefully over the record for years
of the market values, at the great
centers of distribution, of 90 stand
ard articles of consumption and
from this table we gleen some facts
of great interest.
The cost of pound of each of
the 90 articles was, on July I, 1896,

The SeaYer Trial.

Our efficient chief of police was
hauled up over the Goals last Monday
and asked TO explain.
A lot of fallen women, and some of
them fallen pretty low, seem to be
after the chief. The trouble seems
10 be that he won't let them alone in
lhe peaceful prosecution of their
I business.
They make charges of Doodle and
swear to them. Mr.. Seaver has tried
earnestly to suppress their business
and make of Chanute clean city
| They do net want it SO, and declared
they would get Seaver's job.
We are sorry Ihings have come to
this kind OF pass; that an executive
officer can't do his duty with this
class of cattle without being cite d
before the council because of their
wailingS of unfair treatment.
They are law breakers, confessed.
And now they seek to break down
authority by deposing the chief OF
police. Has it come to the pass that
police officer must stand in with
these soled doves in order to hold
his place? What weight would the
oath of these constant law breakers
have in regular court where
personally Interested.
1t would seem to US that the very
fact that these women are after
Seaver, is conclusive evidence that he
is trying TO do his duty.
1t would be an eternal shame and
disgrace to the city shonld these
women succeed in their attempts.
Should there be any doubt in your
niBd about the matter, to when Will
you give the benefit of that doubt.
The sworn officer, or the lewd woman?
The present city administration has
been strong in law enforcement. The
boot-leggers are routed and the lid is
kept we'll down.
These women have been watched
so closely that their business has
lauguished and they are sore.
In the interest of law and order and
morality, the officers should be upheld
and the criminal classes given TO
understand that severe penalties will
follow the violation Of law.
The law is supreme and must be
enforced. Vice must not be allowed
to influence public justice.

FAc7sAs TO l0sTOF LYING.

w ashington, D. c., January I,
1oIc. The increase in the cost Of
living 10 the chief argument which
the opponents of fhe Protective
Tariff in this country are now using
as weapon. But their great
mistake grows cut of ignoring the
fact that this increased cost is not
in snywise confined to the Uaited
States, or to any other couatry, but
is world wide. Whatever hay be
the case, the increased production
OF gold, the growing demand for
better living, or "trusts," or any
one of numerous causes ascrlbed, it
is absolutely certain that the Tariff
is not the cause. In the electoral
coA.es, now going on in the United
Kingdom some Of the Free Traders
ars using as an argument the
increased cost of living in the
United States, pretending that it
has been brought about by the
Tariff. But their opponents in the
British contest are giving figures to
show that the increased cost of
living is just as great IN the United
Kingdom as In the Ueited States.
The London Economist, a we'll
known Free-Trsde organ, prints an
"index number" each week averag
ing commodity prices. These prices
advanced IN the United Kingdom
13H per cent betwsen 1897 and
1904, and ~ per cent between 1904
and 1907, period of only three
years. Then came the panic of
1907, in which the increased cost
OF living was charged with the
financial and industrial breakdo own,
though there was no ground for that
charge. There was a decline IN the
index figures following
the trouble of 1897 and they reached
their lowest in August, 1908. Then
prices began to go up again, AT
the beginning of last month the
figures, though below the top notch |
Of 1907, were nevertheless higher
than IN any previous month. The
percentage of'riss in the United
Kingdom has been fully as great as
n the United States. The same
hing is true of Gerssny and other
countries and clearly demonstrating
hat the Tariff has nothing to do
with it,
Many people are attributing this
increased cost of living to the
gold output which adds 10
bank reserves and enables the banks
to loan more money, an important
influence in holding up the prices of
G commodities. Trusts have done
their share in Increasing prices, but
they are net limited to any one
country, and Great Britain is as
well provided in that respect as any

Roosevelt Day In Twin Cities.

ST. PAUL, Sept. 6.-The doctrine of
"new nationalism," which ex.Presi-
dent Roosevelt enunciated in his
speech at Osawatomie, Kansas, was
set forth in his speech today before
the conserv alton congress. He declar.
ed emphatically for government con.
troll OF the country's natural resources.
"If it had not been for the corporate
interests, especially those which may
be described as pred atory, we would
never have heard of this question of
state rights" he declared, and later
he said:
"It is not really o question of state
against nation. It is really a question
of special corporate interests against
the people,"
He said the corpor ations were anx.
ious to have the states take up the
work that they might escape all effec.
tive control.
Throughout his speech, emphasizing
the need of giving over to the national
government the task Of carrying on,
in the main, the work of conser alton,
the outbursts of applause that greeted
Colonel Roosevelt were astonishing,

HILL TALKS CONSERVATION.
Railroad Magnate Reviews Work Of
Reclamation Service.

Reclamation Service.
ST. PAUL, Sept. jaime ]. Hill,
addressing the conservation congress
today on "Practical Conserv alton"
said, In part:
Belief in q comprehensive system of
conserv alton of all resources has now
taken possession OF the public mind.
What remains to be done Is that most
difficult Of oil the tasks of statesm an.
ship-the application of an accepted
principle aud making it conform in all
its general outlines to the common
good.
We should first exclude certain &C.
tivities that come only indirectly under
the term "conserv ation." The recla.
nation service is one. Its work is not
preserv alton, but utilization. The arid
lands OF this country have been where
they now are, the streams have flowed
past them uselessly ever since Adam
and Eve we're in the Garden of Eden.
There are dangers insepsrable from
national control and conduct Of at.
fairs. The machine is too big and too
distant; Its operation is slow, cum
brous and costly. So slow is it that
settlers are waiting in distress for wa
ter promised long ago. So faulty has
been the adjustment Of time and money
that congress has had to authorize the
issue of $40, 900 900 OF national obliga-
tions to complete projects still hang
ing in the air. So expensive is It that
estimates have been exceeded again
and again. The settler has had either
to pay more than the cost figures he
relied on seeks cheaper land in Can ada.
It costs the government from SO per
cent more to twice as much as it would
private enterprise to put water on the
land. Under the Lower Yellowstone
project the charge is S42.50 per acre,
and one dollar per acre annually for
m ainten ance. The Sunnyside project
carries charge of s52 per acre, and
95 cents mainten ance. Under the
North Platte project the charge is s45
per acre, plus q maintenance charge
not announced. These projects, in
widely separate localities, entail
land charge prohi bittve to the frontier
settlers to provide homes for those for
whom this work was believed to have
been undertaken. The pioneer settler
who can pay, even in ten annual in
stallments, from 50, 500 to 81 900 for
eighty acres of land, In addition to
the yearly fee per acre, must have
some other resources to aid him.
The work OF irrig alton would have
been more cheaply done If turned over
to private enterprise or committed to
the several states within which lie the
lands to be reclaimed. This is not a
criticism upon any individual. 1t is
merely one more proof of the exces.
sive cost of government work.
