Precisely what might have been ex- pected as a natural result is the an- nouncement that the Cudahy pack ing interests are to start stock farm in Colorado, where they will raise beef cattle. to supply their packing houses By raising the cattle which they market in the form of beef the Cudahys will eliminate profits that have been paid to the range owner and men who deal in cattle and they will pocket themselves all the pro- ceeds of the industry with the ex- ception of the small profit the re- taller enjoys.-Hartford Post.
 There are some crimes for which those who are guilty should be more severely punished than for other things done in the heat of anger or the madness of the minute. One thing for which there ought to be only one penalty and that one capital punishment is kidnapping. Another crime for which no mercy ought to be shown the culprits is train wreck ing. No excuse can be offered that will in any way tighten the gravity of the matter nor give any excuse for the act which may cost many Hves.-Meriden Journal.
 If Dr. Anna Howard Shaw's let ter to President Wilson, apologizing, in a way, for the impolite attempt of some of the suffragettes to heckle the president at the meeting in the White House, is. .symptomatic of change of attitude among women suffragists, it is welcome. We hope it is not mere ly expressive of the difference be- tween one body of suffragists and an- other ; Intelligent observers of the way public opinion acts must have felt that there was decline of friend illness toward the suffrage cause on account of the brutal behaviour of the wild women in England and of the refusal of American suffragists to disavow sympathy with their conduct

 Little credence was given last week to the story that Colonel Ullman in tended to make a contest for the re- publican nomination for congress in the Second district. And what little belief there was in the report was shattered Saturday, when Colonel Ullman once more announced that he was through with politics and that, even if nominated and elected. he would feel compelled to decline the honor. That should settle not only this story but others of the same sort that will spring up later. Colonel Ullman knows his own mind. If he has made up hfs mind to abano politics he will do 1t and there will be no reservations nor exceptions. What pity it is that when he Saw Chairman Roraback the other day he did not urge him to go and do like wise. Retired MT. Roraback would be an asset to the republican party. At it's head he is a serious hindrance. Sentinel.

TURN TO STATESMEN
Country Would Welcome Repub-
leans Back to Power.
Visionary Schemes Of reform" Insu-
gursted by Democrats Have Been
Appraised at Their True
Value by the Voters.

II is not a matter Of sentiment, but
OF fact, that points to the return Of
the Republicans to power. They went
out Of power through a split in the
party engineered by Mr.. Roosevelt
under the slogan, Down with the
bosses!" Thus the Democrats were
enabled to got power and to begin
the most ambitious scheme Of expert
mentation with the delicate machin-
cry of government and industry the
country has ever experienced. Thus
the wheels of the factories have been
slowing down and the gears ceased
to drive and the pistons to vibrate.
Thus 1t Is that the country is looking
to the return of the Republicans to
power as the one source Of relief
from the conditions that are pressing
upon them. The Republican party is
not at all disposed to capitalize mis-
fortune. Any true Republican is first
a patriot SO that any one of them
would rejoice over the ability OF the
country to survive the innovations OF
the Democratic tariff, the menace OF
the Democratic currency bill and the
yelled threat of the Democratic anti
monopoly campaign. They would even
be willing to swallow a dose of presi-
dental primaries and such like pollt-
ical oddities in order to have the
country saved from the distress os
shutdown factories, idle railroad
cars and the vast social suffering
that this condition entails.
The country, however, is looking
to the Republicans to recapture the
house of representatives in the No
vember elections. This will be the
first opportunity for relief from the
worse under Democratic rule. The
machinery is being put into working
order at Washington for the recap
ture Of the house and the opening OF
headquarters will mean the rallying
of all Republicans of every shade and
description to the work Of rescuing
the country's industries. It is fore
gone conclusion that every factory
district In the country will support
the Republican candidates. The
Democrats are fine theorists and ethi-
cal dreamers, but for the practical
morality of keeping open the factories
and the workshops they have no gen
ius whatever. The people ask for a
loaf OF bread and are given the stone
of political novelties.
