Burgess has not decided whether to close up the business permanently or not. At the present time, said MT. Burgess. grass cattle are coming in- to the market and while the price is not so bad 1t cuts dark and doesn't give the satisfaction which grain fed stock does and as top beef is out of the question there is about only one thing to do and that is to close up People are eating a good deal less meat than formerly. Broadly speak ing where people ate meat three times a day they now eat 1t about three times a week. It costs lust about as much to sell one hundreds pounds a meat as it did to sell five hundred pounds a. few years ago be- cause the expenses are about the same.,'

WISDOM OF WILSON'S
 DIPLOMACY HANDICAPPED

n Roosevelt returned from South Amer lea just at the time when the Mexi- can situation was at its most criti- teal point It was expected that Theodore Roosevelt would have some thing to say about President wilson's Mexican policy. He did He did not even walt until his ship landed in New york. but in South America he made the utterance that our new American policy was the laughing- stock of Europe.
 Things have happened since then. The American diplomacy Of morality and righteousness inaugurated by President wilson prevented war be- tween the United States and Mexico. although war seemed inevitable. The renned European diplomacy, the sort admired by Col. Roosevelt. has plung- ed all of Europe into war. Thrones will totter. and some of the diplo- natists who Col Roosevelt said were laughing at our diplomacy. will ind themselves out of jobs,
 But the European diplomatists by this time have probably ceased to laugh at President wilson's kind of diplomacy The laugh seems to be on this side of the ocean. But there is no laughter. The same doctrine of morality and righteousness which President wilson applied to the Mex ican problem will later be offered to Europe in an effort to bring about peace.
 Price of cattle going down. price of beef going up..' This was the heading of newspaper dispatch printed in Washington newspaper Hast week and which was read by President wilson and members of Congress.
 The fact that other commodities lcontrolled by. combinations and trusts are also mounting skyward in price aroused the President to action, President Wilson has made a ten strike by calling the attention of the Department of Justice to the present situation and demanding that every legal means be used to protect the ultimate consumer. The public should prepare itself for the cry that the administration is attacking bus iness" That is true. It is attack ing dishonorable business, has been attacking dishonest business for some time and the. men who have been crying calamity and declaring that wilson should withdraw his anti trust measures and that Congress should adjourn are the men who to- day are forcing prices upward and us ling 9, fake war scare as a basis fo1 the boost.

 me what the gentleman from IlIi-. nois may have stated. but under stood the gentleman from Y,scenain to state that tried to defeat or in- terfere with the passage of this bill. or course. MT, Chairman. that state ment is not true in any sense.

A sim pie bill comes up. and the Speakers asks if there is any objection to it's consideration. They take up half an hour. and at the end of that time, as a rule. object. after hearing them selves talk for an half hour This bill was a simple thing and after they had talked for about hfteen minutes I rose and addressed the chair and called for the regular order.
