They give fair idea Of the operation
OF the law Of supply and demand az
fecting sales and prices.
According to the census figures 1t
is made plain that great number OF
ultimate consumers were forced out
of the meat eating habit, or reduced
meat rations by the steady advance in
prices during these years. The COM
paratiye statistics show that in 1909.
4,209, 1865 6S pounds Of fresh beef were
sold for s327,5S3,456, while in 1914.
3,65S,333,66O pounds were sold for

over 55O,000,000 pounds less than in

from s1O0,00O,oO0 more. The same
story runs as to veal, consumption Of
which fell off nearly 100000 pounds,
while the price rose sl,25o,000 There
was an increase in the consumption
Of pork OF about 100000 pounds
which cannot possibly account for all
Of the enormous rise Of s6S.000,000 In

figures reveal the fact that a part Of

supply, as in 1914. 100000 fewer
beeves were slaughtered than in 1909,
while 3.750,000 more sheep, lambs,
goats and kids were slaughtered in

THE FIRST DUTY

While no one was particularly de-
siriouS OF going 10 war with Mexico,
| every true American was unqualified

; rights. 1t may be that the President
has kept US out of war with Mexico,
but that honor is bound to be dimmec
by the nature Of the accomplishment.
Some years ago a distinguished Sec.
| rotary OF State, and a Republican,
phrased the American policy in for:
eisn affairs. in these ringing words:
The first duty OF nation is 10 protect
the lives and property OF its citizens.
This is a paramount obligation, and
| the nation that fails TO perform it No
longer deserves TO be called a nation"
The degree of Mr.. Wilson's success
must be measured according to tho
performance Of the first duty"
Some days ago in public address
IN which ne revealed many of his il-
ner thoughts on the Mexican situation,
the President expressed great indigua-
ton against Americans who are trying
ITO force him, as he put 1t, to exploit"
Mexico. At the same time he urged
Americans to seek investment for
their capital in foreign countries. He
declared that while it was the duty OF
the United States to protect it's own
borders, it was none Of the business
of the United States what Mexicans
did with their own country and their
own government. In other words, the
! President feels insulted because he is
asked. by Americans who did go into
Mexico and who invested their whole
capital there, 10 obtain protection FOR
life and property, there. II the Mexi-
!! cans come over the lines and rob and
! murder, then the President does feel
courageous enough to stop it. But
| while he urges Americans to so abroad
and to open up new fields for invest
ment, he rebukes any American who
thinks that this government. is bound
to protect them. What American Is
