Union Stock Yards, South Omaha,
April ~. 1916.-Receipts of cattle
were only moderate in volume today,
5000 head, but the quality was very
good as a rule and the market fairly
active at steady to stronger prices,
the improvement being mostly on the
more desirable offerings. Best beeves
sold around $4,000 9.35 and the bulk
OF the fair to good kinds went at
SS.7oQ 900. Cows and heifers were in
active request at strong prices and
the trade in stock cattle and feeding
steers was just about steady all
around.

Hogs Just a Shade Lower.
There was a pretty good run of
hogs, 500 head, and a broad demand
for them, especially from the local
packers. Opening bids were fully a
nickel lower than Monday, but some
Of the more desirable butcher weight
and heavy loads sold at fully steady
prices and a clearance was made in
pretty good season. Tops were at
$3.50, as against 1885 Monday. and
the bulk of the trading was around

$50 Monday.
Trade in Lambs Rather Dull.
Receipts of sheep let up a bit and
only 600 head put in an appearance.
The smaller receipts did not stimu-
late trade any, however. and prices
were for the most part just about
steady at the recent sharp decline.
Local demand was slack and feeders
and shearers were inclined to take a
bearish view of the situation.

The Deprivation of Our Heritage.

We hear a good deal of clustering
nowadays over the new ideas and
great achievements of the conserva-
tionists in saving the earth from de-
molition for the life everlasting. Some
of these theories look good on paper
but after all they are not original. Ev
cry generation apparently forgets to
some extent what the previous genera
ton has done. The land policy of the
United States for instance has been
discussed time and again with a policy
fixed as the politicians thought, that
would endure forever. The present
scheme of the reservationists is to
hold even the mines of the great coun-
try as a treasure for posterity rather
than to dispose of them for the benefit
of those who might now acquire them
and assist in building up the grand
young states of the Union.
One of the most noted discussions
ever heard in Congress was that
known as the Webster Fayne debate
originating over exactly the same con-
troversy that is now going on. In
that magnificent speech made by the
greatest orator possibly ever known
among congressman Mr.. Webster held
out for the rights of the Union as
temporary trustee for Uncle Sans
great estate and publicly announced
however that it had always been his
policy to see that they were so dis
posed of as to build up the states in
which they were situated.
The entire policy of reservation was
however overthrown in 1886 and 1887,
after due consideration by congress
and a system of restoration was adopt
ed under which we have progressed
to a population of 1O0,000000 people.
Homesteads were set up here in the
west where it was predicted that no
one could subsist and support family
and they are the best farms in Amer
lea today. This great western coun-
try has been developed under the sys-
TEN established after due considera-
ton in overturning all former restric-
tive plan way back in the year 1886.
We have had recently a new discovery
however-conservati of our national
resources. We do not object to conser-
walton in its broadcast sense but we
do demur against reservation and res
friction.
An effort is being made to cheat the
people of the west out of their birth
right. We should have the same OPP
portunity to develop our resources that
the people of other states have en-
joyed without all this bluestocking in
ference by a set of reformationists
who are not interested in our welfare
whatever We are especially sore on
the administration of the forest reser-
yes as we'll as the Grabbing policy of
the reclamation service More than
all we protest against the surveillance
of self appointed guardians from other
states with their pussy footed watch
fulness over the things that do not be-
long to them. The whole business has
evolved into a grating system that is
as unpatriotic as it is un-American and
some day we are going to call for

Approximately So per cent of the
losses of cattle on the national for

caused by tall larkspur. Death camas,
lupin, laurel sneeze weed. and rubber
weed are responsible for sheep losses,
while loco weed is the principal pois-

year the loss from these causes
amounted to about 100000.

Warning 10 Buyers Of Baled Hay

The department is investigating the
practice of some shippers of hay We
neering or facing the bales Veneer
ing consists in feeding to the baling
machine an occasional forkful of hay
that is of higher grade than the bulk
of the lot being baled and manipulat
ing the forkful in such a way that the
high grade hay covers the outside of
the bale, making the bale appear to
contain better hay than it actually
does contain. The National Hay AS
ISOLATION has requested the depart
ment to cooperate with it in trying
to eliminate this practice, believed to
be dishonest. Buyers of baled hay
are warned TO be on the lookout for
this practice in order to avoid accept

CHRISTMAS GREETING.

To the readers of The News, at
home and abroad, we send greetings,
trusting that each patron may have a
most enjoyable time during the holt
day season.
The newspaper fraternity has ex-
perienced but little comfort during
year 1916 for the reason that material
has been so high but little has CONT
TO the publisher, yet we are fairly
well contented with conditions, hoping
that a brighter outlook will make its
appearance IN few months. Blank
paper, upon which The News is print
ed, six months ago cost fifty-four dol
lars ton, in Louisville. At this time
we are paying S130 per ton in the same
market, and it may go higher before
the drop comes. There has been a
raise in all other print paper at the
same ratio. On account of the high
prices many county weeklies have Sus-
pended, the toll being more than they
could well carry, and many have raised
the subscription price 81 so per year.
The News did not raise its subScrip-
e tion, but reduced it's size in order to
save paper, but at the same time we
are furnishing about the same amount
of reading matter, using smaller type,
The change of size is only temporary,
as it is our intention, as soon as the
cost of material comes down, to return
to the six coumn, eight page paper.
We are doing every thing in oul
power to please under the present con
ditions, and we believe our readers
that large majority of them, will
continue with the publication.
There is a move now on foot to re
duce the price of blank paper. anC
every publisher in Kentucky is watch
ing it closely, and when iU comes il
will be "hats off, to those who busieC
themselves to bring about the reduc
ton.
We will do our best to furnish ;
readable paper during the year 1917
and in order to assist US in so doinI
we ask every one who is behind on on
books to call or send in remittance
as ready money is the most needfu
thing here at this time.

No More Railroad Anarchy.

Railroad unions, like railroad cor
porations, are affected with a public
interest.
After a long and bitter struggle,
that principle was definitely estab-
lished as relating to railroad corpora
tions 1t has never been established
as relating to railroad unions, and the
President again asked that it be es-
tablished.
In his address to Congress yester-
day urging the completion of the rail-
road programme partly adopted In
the enactment of the Elght-Hour-
Law, President Wilson draws a clear
distinction between the railroad en-
pIoyeeS as an individual and railroad
employee in combination. Nobody
proposes that the railroad employee
as an individual shall be denied the
right to leave his employment What
the President asks is that 1.-The con-
certed action of powerful bodies of
men shall not be permitted to stop
the industrial processes of the Nation,
at any rate before the Nation shall
have had an opportunity to acquaint
itself with the merits of the case as
between employee and employer" =
That is a power that Government
has both moral and legat right to
exercise. Last summer the American
people were suddenly confronted with
a crises which threatened the COM
plete paralysis of commerce and IN.
dustry. There were nc legal author.
ity that could compel full inquiry
into the facts of the controversy. Sc
far as the rights of 1O0000,000 people
were concerned, the railroads and
their employees were free to plunge
the country into an industrial civil
war and continue the conflict until
one side or the other exhausted.
1t was then that President Wilson
suggested legislative remedies tt
meet the situation. The strike wa:
averted by the Eight-Hour. Day Law
but the danger remained and a new
crisis may arise at any time.
In again insisting that there shall
be neither strikes nor lockouts in the
operation of railroads until there car
be full public investigation into the
merits of the dispute, President Will
son is redeeming the pledge that ht
made to the people last summer. Tht
duty of Congress is too plain to bt
Shirked, and while many labor leader:
have expressed their opposition to the
proposed legislation, 1t is a short
sighted opposition that runs paralelleG
to the old railroad opposition to al
forms of restraining legislation in the
public interest.
Organized labor, In the long run,
has nothing to lose by making Itself
responsible, nor can it successfully
defy the power of Congress to regu
late interstate commerce. The rail
roads once thought they could, but al
their money and all their influence
proved unayaiIing. They were com
PEELED to recognizethe rights of tn,
public, and there are now few rail
road investors or managers who woulc
retdrn to the old aharchistic order.
