Mr.. TAFT in his keynote" letter re-
fers proudly to the beneficent legislation
enacted by Congress at its recent session.
In the first place, he has little reason TO
brag, for there was precious little decent
legislation. Secondly, he hadn't any
more to do with il than did tfle Ahkund
OF Swat, for it was almost entirely the
work OF the insurgents.
Perhaps if the President had remained
in Washington long enough TO warm
chair he might have had some influence
on legislation, but he chose MOTTO do this.

SEVERAL Democratic Senators, notably
Senator Bailey, of Texas, and Senator
Rayner, OF Maryland, are showing the
country how iniquitouS the Aldrich tariff
bill is. Unfortunately for the party and
the country, however, these same gentle
men missed their great opportunity to ex-
pose this bill when it was under conSid-
Grafton by Congress, and their words do
not command much attention now. They
were afraid OF Aldrich at critical points in
the tariff battle, and they will never be
able to make up for their lack of courage
and ability.

She did not turn toward the village

wound into the tall, brown silent
woods with It's carpet of snow under
foot and bare interlaced branches out
lined against the blue sky overhead.

WHO GETS TIE PRoElr2

Attention is called to an article in
the Peoples Pulpit in this issue IN
which inquirer discusses the cost
of living problem. He gives the re-
suits of his inquiries as to the price
the packer pays the former for his
livestock, the price the packer gets
for the finished product, and the price
the retailer gets from the consumer.
Without claiming any knowledge of
the packers business, as to the profit
received from bv-products. the cost
to the farmer or the cost of labor to
the packer, Enquirer" shows by his
price quotations that the farmer, pack
er and retailer all seem to be operat-
ing on only a fair margin of profit. He
sets out the facts as he found them
and although his Investigations show
ed the consumer to be paving high
price, he WIS unable to determine who
gets the profits.
Inquirer" went into the subject
deep enough to find that it is a many
sided problem In this he differs
from a great many people who ap-
proach this subject from biased
standpoint and lay the blame to the
farmer. the packer or the retailer
without first convincing himself which
one of these three, or whether any
one of these three, is alone to blame
for the condition set forth.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson de-
clares that there are too many con-
sumers in the cities and too few pro-
ducers on the farm. The increased
cost he believes is due chiefly to the
natural law of supply and demand.
James J. Hill has for months been
sounding warnings of the necessity of
movement back to the farms. The
government has started an investiga-
ton of the big Chicago packers to
determine what part, if any. they have
played in advancing the price of meat
provisions.
The question is one that can be
brought nearer a solution by intelli,
gent discussion and through investiga,
ton from every angle.
! Let us hear from other "Inquirers
who have given study to the situa.
! ton.

ing appetite will insure fair. return
for their labor.
The farmers have right to resent
such movement as this, since it Is
aimed directly at them. They have an
added reason for resentment in that
the movement is altogether uncalled
for. The country is prosperous. Labor
is employed at good wages. Bank de-
posits are higher than ever before.
The people are buying more Injuries
than ever before.
The objection seems to be that they
can't buy more Injuries and still have
more money to take to the bank on
Saturday night.
1t is agreed on all sides that no one
wants return of the panicky times
OF low prices and no work. Why not
be sensible, then, and stop looking for

CAN WORK BOTH WAYS.

Ottumwa has not taken part in the
so-called meat boycott and the first
of the we don't eat meat badges is
yet.to make it's appearance here OF
tnmwas. biggest industrial establish
ment is a meat packing establishment
and meat boycott" would more or
less directly affect larger number OF
wage workers than is employed by any
other institution in Ottumwa. But
other. communities that have taken up
the campaign are coming to see that
theF"boycott" can work both ways. A
press dispatch received by the Courier
today. calls attention to this phase OF
the situation 1t reads:
Nevada, Mo-, Jan. 2S.-A movement
has been inaugurated by the farmers
of this section to stop selling farm
produce for sixty days as protest
against the allegation of the packers
that the farmers and stockmen are
responsible for the high prices, and as
3 protest against the meat boycotts "
The aim is to make the movement ma
ton wide.
Resolutions adopted by the Scott
County Farmers Institute at Eldridge,
near Davenport, yesterday, also show
q plan of retaliation. The resolutions
read:
Whereas, The public press is pro-
fuse in the announcement of the wide
spread and numerous formations of
societies or clubs embracing all walks
of life, the avowed object of which is
abstinence or partial abstinence from
animal food to the end that all meat
products may be reduced in price to
the consumer. Therefore be it,
Res, lived, That we view with the ut
most complacency the organization of
such societies and commend them for
their financial sagacity (if not for their
patriotic intent.) Further be it
Resolved, That we most emphati-
cally condemn as unwarranted and I'M
Just the avidity with which the great
meat packing interests of the country
seize upon these conditions and offer
them as an excuse III bear raid
upon the products of the farmer and
stockman. The italian hand" is but
thinly disguised and its action will be
strongly resisted; be itfurther
Resolved, That we believe that the
boycott is illegal, unjust and immoral
but that we recognize as fundament
al principle of law that communities
as well as individuals have the right
to resist with the same weapons with
which they are attacked. To this end
we Believe that the farmers and stock
growers would be justified in withhold

the markets till such time as grow

Before Bones, which was the plebian

Allen Elverson marveled much at

lived here as recluse the whole Of

at the eccentrioity behind the clause

GOOD ADVICE.

prosecutors in the government beef
trust investigation, gave this advice
in a speech last night at Cleveland
Pay no heed to the so-called in
surgents on the one hand or to the
so-called stand-patters on the other,
he said. Take no counsel from
those VINO defend Cannonism or
Aldrichism to the right of you. nor
to those who would emphasize the pro.
gram of La Toilette or magnify the
Pinchot incident to the left of you
Get into the middle OF the road and
stand shoulder to shoulder for the per

people under the leadership of Will
