The Denver Market.

Denver Union Stock Ytrds. Aug. ~.
A liberal offering Of cattle, coupled
with q big decline in prices, caused a
decline here last week of around Is
to Csc. Today. with 5000 head Of cat
tie on sale, and further declines and
slow trading at all Eastern marktes,
the local market was slow and trade
dull Prices were Is to Csc. lower
than last week. A very good clear
ance was made, however, and the Den
yer market continues in rather better
shape than most of them. Good steers
are bringing $6.75 to $7.25. and choice
killing kinds up to $7.65. Cows are
selling at $500 to s6.75 for the good
killing grades, with fair cows at $500
to $5.75. Bulls are bringing $3.50 70
$5.25, according to the quality. and
veal calves are moving at $500 to
311.00. Feeder and stocker demand
was fair. but prices lower as q result
Of the Eastern declines. Good steers
are moving around s675 to s715 and
fancy feeders on up. Indications arc
that the demand for feeders is going 70
be strong this fall on the Denver mar
ket and the trade is already opening
up.
The hog demand is good and the
market continues active. with prices
here well in line with the river mar
kets. Good hogs are selling around
$3.50 to 1926 and not enough coming
TO this market 10 meet the demand.
There was a good inquiry for sheep
and a good active trade Good ewes
are selling at 1926 TO s4.75 and good
lambs at 800 10 s775. Demand is
strong but prices inclined TO weakness
because OF lower markets East There
is good inquiry for feeding sheep and
lambs. this inquiry developing much
earlier this year than usual on account
OF the good feed crops being raised
by stockmen who expect to feed this
fall and who are in position to take
care Of their stock earlier than usual
on this account.

In stirring address on the subject,
The Scholar In Politics" the speak
err said In part:
We are apt to associate with the.
scholar in politics the idea of failure,
especially in Democratic common
wealths where there is no hereditary
rights to place and where preferment
necessarily depends upon an unedu-
Gated and often capricious pubic
opinion. which ordinarily prefers
simple and aggressive type of man to
the more complex student Of books.
THE literary faculty has not al
ways. perhaps not generally, been as
sociated with the genius for practical
administration. 1t is a common belief
that the world owes more of its con-
strnetive craftsmanship to the schelas-
tically uneducated man, like Column
bus. Cromwell, Give. Washington,
Jackson and Lincoln than to its
learned scholars. such as Bacon. Mil
ton, Burke, Lamartine. Macaulay and
Victor Hugo. This is the fallacy OF
the hasty generalization, for it would
be easy to parallel this list with an
other, consisting of illiterate men who
have failed in public life. and edu-
Gated men, like Dsraeh and Glad
stone. who have been signally sue
cessful.
Education and Politics.
The most masterful spirit Of con-
temporary politics is Theodore Roose-
Welt. a Harvard graduate, while Fir-
ginia's last contribution TO the chief
magistracy. President Wilson, aptly
illustrates that a philosopher fresh
from the class room can guide the
fiery steeds of Democracy like the
most experienced character in the
political arena,
THE general tendency. however. is
to associate the subjective literary IA
Guilty with certain atrophy OF the
will and a clouding of the judgment.
Excessive mental faculty does tend 10
destroy the equilibrium which should
prevail between the subjective and the
objective faculties of the mind. In
this respect Jefferson's extraordinary
