The Late e. b. Merriam

The Topeka Daily Capital of May
20, 1915, contained an interesting
sketch and picture of E. B. Merri-
riam, a prominent citizen of that
city and the last member of the To-
cal grocery firm of Spencer, Pearl
and Merriam, which did business
many years ago in the Bailey Block
on Main street.
He died at $3.50 P. M, May "a, of
pneumonia after a short illness. He
was born in Johnson, VT, June 80,
1885; married Jan. %, 1859 to Sa-
rah Partridge Dillingham; of Water
bury. He is survived by his wife,
two sons, Frank d. and Carroll B.
and one daughter, Mrs. Mary Shell
don, and one brother, Charles w.
Merriam. The funeral was largely
attended May 26 with burial in To-
peka. He was president of the Mer-
RAM Mortgage Co. of Topeka. He
moved to Topeka in 1888 and es-
tablished his home on College Hill.
In 1889 he entered the banking firm
of T. E. Bowman & Co. and in 1892
bought out the other interests and
formed the Merriam Mortgage Co.
He was also interested in several
banks. He was a prominent mem
Der of the Congregational church and
active in good works.

The recapture of Przemysl from
forces undoubtedly is one of the most
brilliant achievements of the Euro
pean war. It is feared that it has
opened the way for further invasion
but Germany has been in this terri
tory before and found it's army so far
from the base of supplies it could not
hold it's position. The same may be
was a crushing defeat for the Rus
slams and a wonderful demonstration
Of the fighting ability Of the Ger
mans. 1t is reported that 100000
rounds of ammunition were poured
upon the Russians within one hour,
a fire that no army could withstand
and one that no army outside of the
German army could deliver. Anoth-
er satisfactory feature of the battle
is that it was fought squarely with
out any of methods of an assassin as
Germany has shown with her subma-
rines. In this way it was a credit
to the Germans and also a great help
to their cause. The result of the
battle blasts the hope of an early con-
clusion of the war, A nation that can
fight such a battle is not ready to &C
cept unsatisfactory terms of peace
and there can be no settlement with
victory in the hands of nation that
has followed the murderous and in
human methods Of Germany. This
war can never be permanently set
tied until it is established that
treaty is a solemn obligation and that
no nation can run riot on the high
seas numbering neutral noncomba-
tants or plundering neutral com
merce. Glorious as the victory is
for the Germans it reveals to the
world the magnitude of the task of
the Allies in suppressing the military
ambitions of the German govern
ment.

Sandy Daniels of Brattleboro
has many friends throughout the
state who are glad to see him rec
ognized by an appointment to the
state industrial accident board. Gov.
Gates seems to have shown good
judgment in selecting three men for
that board who cannot be CLASSIFIED
either as employers or laDorers
They are three practical men who
can consider the questions before
them without the bias of capitalists
or unionists. The new commission
er of weights and measures, George
w. Carpenter of Mortified, is not
very widely known but the people
of the state will generally approve of
a change in that Office. 1t had been
too expensive under its former man
agement.

The federation also laid out an
important tentative legislative pro-
gram providing for mothers pen
sions, police women, legal means to
stamp out social evil; went on rec
ord as endorsing the national wOm-
ems peace party, voting to join it,
and as opposed to the liquor traffic
and in favor of such federal or state
laws as will tend to eradicate this
evil. These resolutions were adopt

inal resolution presented providing
for the endorsement of wide
prohibition.
Forty-five clubs were represented

idents, Is officers and 81 delegates.
Besides these 142 official visitors

A Little Meat Mystery.

1t is reported that the meat pack
ers and government experts who have
investigated conditions are predict
ing an increase in the price of meats
this summer. They explain this as
necessary because the stock of meat
in the great warehouses from which
they have been supplying the war
demands is about exhausted. Now
they will have to charge more for the
freshly slaughtered meats.
At the same time the department
of agriculture reports the average
prices Of live stock to farmers lower
on April Is this year than for the
same period the two previous years.
Here are some of the government fig
ures: Beef cattle in 1915 were worth
$3.50 per hundred pounds, 1929 in
1914 and $6.O8 in 1918; veal calves
per hundred in 1915 were 1871 in
1914, $7.6S and 1913 $7.38; hogs in
1915 seas, in 1914, $3.50 and in
1913 1874; sheep in 1915, $3.50, in
1914 $4.96 and in 1913, $5.16; lambs
III AO1O PdsOO, III 40If PO.4 anu III
1913 $3.50.
The consumers of meat have heard
nothing about the prices of beef and
hogs being any lower this year than
two years ago, yet it appears the far
mers are getting less for them now
than in 1913. With the price of
these animals lower than they were
one or two years ago, the producers
will hardly understand why it is
necessary to raise the price of meats
still further. The producers and
the consumer Of meats appear to
have been getting the worst of it in
the meat business while the packer
and retailer have been buying meat
cheaper, selling it higher and pro-
pose now to sell it even higher. Wei
are ready to be shown the justice of
this.
We see only one escape from these
conditions. That is for the farmer
to produce more and better beef and
sell it to the local dealer for distri-
button among the local consumers
There is no valid reason why YER
mont should not produce enough
beef for it's own consumption and
there is very little danger that it will
get enough Overstocked with beef
cattle to materially reduce the prices
in many years.

Why Neutrality Is a Disgrace

The Springfield Republican says;
But the concern of neutrals is not
which side wins, nor whether the vic
tory falls to asphyxiating gas, or to
blockade, but whether neutral rights
are impaired, either by the Interrupt
ton of lawful commerce or by the
lawless sacrifice of innocent neutral
lives
If being a neutral shuts a nation
from any concern whether the I'M
civilized methods of warfare shall
be practiced and perpetuated in in
ternational conflicts no nation inter
ested in the welfare of humanity can
rest with honor in the neutral col
umn. 1t is of vital concern to the
United States whether international
law shall be observed by the bellige-
rent powers or whether her citizens
shall be massacred on the high seas
where by every rule of humanity they
should be as safe as in their home,
and it is plainly the duty of this gov
eminent to do every thing in it's pow
er to protect its rights upon the sea.
Some still claim United States
should keep free from any European
entanglements just as George Wash
ington advised. We would not see
this country aiding one nation
against another for the purpose of
building up any European govern
ment. But in Europe today there
is a nation that is defying the civil
lized world in its inhuman methods
of warfare. 1t is not combining it's
murderous attacks to the nations in
arms against it but kills without
warning and in defiance of all law
citizens of any nation. To declare
that any nation resorting to such
practices must be forced to give them
up, TO either conduct itself in accor-
dance with the demands of decency
or be annihilated is not a European
ENHANCEMENT. 1t is simply a stand
for humanity and justice. The Uni
ted States is entitled to stand for and

We publish this week an adver-
tisement for the Vermont Local OPP
ton League which is a part of the
contest over the proposed change in
the liquor law of the state in the
Perry act. The real contest is
whether we shall try to regulate the
liquor traffic by statewide prohfbi-
ton or local option. The adherents
of statewide prohibition are quite as
active as those of local option but
have adopted a different method of
fighting. The Local Option League
will put it's side of the case before
the public through paid newspaper
advertising service while the prohibi
tionists will work from the platform
and whatever free service they can
get from the newspapers. In pub
fishing either sides matter the news
paper does not commit itself to that
policy but will simply be giving both
sides an opportunity to present their
claims. We suspect the newspaper
patrons will be the more successful
because they will reach many more
people than any platform performer
possibly can.
