WHY MEAT PRICES ARE HIGH

WHY MEAL PRICES ARE HIGH.
1t is claimed by the Chicago Daily
Farmers and Drovers' Journal that
1t is not the fault of the retail butch
er or the packer that meats are high
in price and will probably cost more
before the summer Is over. Neither
is 1T the fault of the farmer and stock
feeder The added difference in re-
tail cost, it is declared, merely repre-.
sents the effect of the drought of last
summer and the general inability. of
the corn belt in the matter of produc-
ton to keep pace with demands. The
authority in question goes on to say:
ut has been a winter of feed priva-
| ton on most farms The horses have
| gone thin that the cattle might be
ted into condition to go to market this
| spring. There has been great
scarcity of foodstuffs and buying for
live stock fattening has been Il con-
siderable gambling venture as viewed
by most farmers. They had little as
surance that fat steers would sell at So
and 50 in April and scant quota OF
! plain killing cattle below 81. Buying
high-priced feed and taking chances
on hitting such market was a
gamble. indeed. and one which many
feeders were not willing to risk a
few months ago. The result was a
! heavy exodus of cattle from stalk
fields to market last fall, and this
paved the way for a shortage in good
beef steers this spring and in the
summer months ahead. The hog mar
ket situation is similar

 Many miners of the better class the real workers-say they ex pected locating by power of atlor- ney to be abolished altogether. and they will not be satisfied until that end is accomplished.
 It would seem that the best way to secure law that would be satis- factory to everybody would be to call miners meetings ill tue vari ous districls of Alaska, where the matter could be discussed by those who have an intimate knowledge of existing conditions. and have remedies and improvements to suggest. These could then be col lec.ed and presented 10 the Legisla- ture which meets at Juneau next March. There is no reason why an Alaskan Legislature should not be able to pass a law to meet all req scEable objections.

MISS Addams is an authority upon al
most every subject that she essays TO
talk upon in public; hence her ad-
dress was listened to with great in
terest. She took as a subject THE
Church and the Social Evil"
The supreme religious test Of our
social order" she said, lis the hideous
commerce in girls, and the sorry re-
suits of that test are registered in the
hypocrisy and hardness of heart of
the average good citizen toward the
so-called fallen woman. May we not
claim that in consequence of this ir
religious attitude, the social evil today
remains hard, unresolved mass in the
midst of so-called Christian civiliza-
ton, until it has come to be called a
vice which cannot be eradicated, a sin
which cannot be forgiven, a social dis
ease that cannot be cured?'
The policy of treating the social evil
as a matter of contemptuous indiffer-
ence, Miss Adams declared, had
formed the groundwork for political
corruption.
THE corruption spreads until the
brother, the saloon and the gambling
den are the trio literally at the base
of the real administration of our cities.
Certainly the scarlet woman has been
avenged upon the city which despises
her. The men who consider her a le-
