WHO GETS THE MONEY?
Packers and Meat Dealers Doing Bust
ness at Loss, Says One.

Chicago. Oct. 1.-THE report of the
executive committee of the National
Meat Packers association which met in
annual convention here today intimates
that the select committee of the Uni
ted States senate when it met to in
vestigate the high cost of living. did not
act in the best faith in examining the
packers.
The report says that while there has
been some repetition of the usual
slurs and unfounded charges against the
packers, they have lacked the venom
of previous years and the opinion is
expressed that ''belief is growing with
the public that the packers as a class
are doing a legitimate business"
President Charles Rhoe, of the associ-
alton. in his address said the last year
in many respects had been unsatisfac-
tory to packers. owing to the high
price of livestock
1T is undoubtedly a fact" he deelar-
ed, that packers and meat dealers have
been doing business without profit dur
ing the gear

EVENING CHAT
BY RUTH CAMERON

-eWil1 you please tell me how can
keep some hold upon a red-hot poker,
and not be burned?'
That, in spirit, is the question a
young girl has just written to ask me.
No, not in just those words, of course
This, paraphrased, her story.
She is a girl of twenty, a stenog
rapher in a large office. A handsome
married man of about forty years of
writes to her, confides in her. and 50
forth.
At first she persistently discouraged
his attentions, but lately has accepted
some of them.
This little story, which doubtless has
its prototype in every large business
office in the country, she concludes
with:
81 have learned to care for him more
than should for a married man. What
can I do to keep him from pursuing
me so constantly, and to avoid the
danger of scandal, but still retain his
friendship"
In other words "How can 1 keep
some hold upon a red-hot poker, and
still not be burned?'
Dear lady, don't you realize that you
are asking the world-old question vi
weak humanity?-"Isn't there some
way that can do wrong and not suf-
fer the consequences"
AS far as 1 can see, you can do one
of two things
You can save yourself from being
burned by letting go of that poker
right off quick
Or you can keep hold and prepare to
be burned.
But you CAN'T do both.
Maybe things have come to that pass

Puzzlel Where Does Sen. Frazier
Standp

Nashville, Tenn, Oct. 2,-Where is
Senator Frazier? That is a question
that is agitating the local political
minds.
Physically, of course, the Senator is
busy with the Lorimer investigation,
but when his private secretary, Rutlege
Smith introduced Hooper at Cookeville
a question arose as to where he was in
the fight. Either he is out Of the fight
for reelection entirely, and will not be
a candidate before the next Legislature
or he has joined the alliance These
are the general conclusions.
Every mail that comes in to Senator
Taylor's headquarters brings more en-
couraging news. To-day he said:
| am receiving hundreds of bright
and beautiful letters. In every letter
there is rainbow Of hope The flood
has receded for the olive branch is pass

Obion Indorses Jones.

The mass meeting of Democrats call
ed by Committeeman Davis met at the
courthouse Monday, there being a large
crowd of Democrats from the different
sections Of the county present Chan
Gerry and County Courts were in session
and there was the usual first Monday
crowd in town. The courtroom was
comfortably filled, Committeeman Da-
Wis presiding.
Speeches advocating harmony and
calling on all Democrats to get together
to fight their common enemy were
made by Hon. Rice A. Pierce, Judge
Felix w. Moore and John II. Mellow
ell. These speeches brought forth much
applause and the temper of those present
was for harmony.
Hon, Joseph E. Jones received the
Endorsement for Governor, j. II. Nc
DoWell casting the only dissenting vote.
About two hundred delegates We're
appointed from the different civil dis
tricts OF the county to attend the Nash

he had read the story in the newspapers
long ago, but had forgotten all about it
Did you form an opinion on what
you had read?"
No, l guess not.
Do you mean to say that yon read
the paper and do not form opinions o.
your own on what you read?"
The yenireman, finding the PROPOSE
ton up to him in shape that places
his intelligence in issue, admits that
maybe he did form an opinion, but he
has forgotten what that opinion was.
So far the yenireman is eligible for
jury service, but the indefatigable law
yer perseyeres.
But in the course Of this trial, when
the evidence Of the witnesses brought
back to your recollection the circum-
stances of the tragedy, is it not possible
that your old opinion in the case would
be revived"
Yes, it is possible"
why, yes, of course. We challenge
for cause +"
Challenge is sustained and the venire-
man goes.
A man excused from jury service on
such a remote psychological possibility
as that says the Attorney General,
might be excused on the ground that in
the course of the trial he might be at
tackled with case Of collie that would
divert his attention from the evidence
Finally, related the Acknowledgement,
the prosecution of the high-grade crimi
nails is embarrassed by the qualms of
good men who have scruples and preju-
dices. There is the man who is so con-
scientious that he cannot stand for cap
ital punishment. He has to be consid-
cred. But, on the other hand, there is
the man who has a prejudice against
murderers. To illustrate, the lawyer
for the defense in recent murder trial
had exhausted every other line of cate
chism that he thought might disqualify
the venireman, but without effect, and
finally he asked him:
Have you any prejudice against the
crime of MURDER"
Yes, have, responded the yenire-
man emphatically. II was always
taught to abhor murder"
I'VE challenge for cause, " exclaimed
the counsel jubilantly.
And the man was dismissed.
Gen. Estes believes he can remove
many of these difficulties in the path of
criminal convictions by acts of the Leg
islature, and he is now formulating a
series of bills or amendments that will
lead to that result.
