Mr.. Wilson described this legisla-

ously absurd extravaganza" carrying
the congressional power TO regulate

tained, for congress to legislate over
every particular OF the Industrial or

That, we must confess, has also been
the Evening Posts view. But the
Evening Post and Senator Borah are
old fogies, dating back TO the time
when IL was the custom to have fixed

them. The senator has evidently not
read Mr.. Wilson's letter In explaining
his change of front on the tariff com.
mission-that 1t Is only a narrow man,
whose mind Is stupidity closed to new
ideas. who does not alter his opinions.
BY this test Mr.. Wilson is obviously
one of the broadcast minded men this

SIOUX CITY LIVESTOCK MARKET

Sioux City, Aug. 26.-The cattle
market showed a dull tone as to the
killer varieties this morning, bearish
news from eastern centers being the
cause. Quota at hand was limited,
and for this reason it was a hard
matter to gauge accurately the de
cline in prices.
Upper classes of stock cattle sold
about steady, while it was difficult
to get action IN anything lacking
quality. and for such kinds prices
were weakeri.
Hog prices on the local market
were worked up unevenly, market
being reported as steady to as much
as 15c higher, with most of the rise
quotable on the cheaper grades. ToI
for the day landed at $1,000. while
bulk Of sales were at a spread o.
1895 a 10. 40.
Most of the sheep that arrived to.
day were feeding grades, billed
through to northern feeders, and
were not on sale. Wires from other
centers indicated a continuation oil
the weaker trend to prices.
