Hogs-The market was from the very out
set another OF the irregular affairs that
have como to DO regarded as an every day
occurrence. Shippers bought more hogs
than they have any one day In more than
week. but while their orders were heavy
indifference on the port Of local packers
and heavy receipts and weak markets else
where enabled them to get their hogs STEADY
70 In many cases loo lower.
Killer buyers were AZ noted very indif-
ferent, and a. they didn't seem to care much
whether or not they got many hogs they
succeeded In making their purchases at
generally lower figures. Here. too. the trade
was very uneven. some sales not being called
more than Be lower, while others were
thought to be as much as 10 @ lbc lower
Packers said that they did not consider
last purchases much different from the ay-
erage market, but most OF the statesmen
who had hogs on the close quoted them as
1o@i6c lower. and the few loads that were
still In first hands at noon were wanted
that way.
AT any rate II was q mighty unsatis-
factory market from the sellers standpoint
While few, shipper sales were steady, bulk
q the offerings were b0ibc below yestor-
day. and the general market was not far
from loo lower. Bulk of Offerings landed

Omaha Future Market.
The wheat market opened slightly lower,
but advanced sharply on the strength Of
bullish weather reports from Argentina This
advance was only temporary, the market
declining to $i.49 on the September, and
N51A on the December. The trade In
wheat was not very heavy and was con-
fined largely to the local element, there be-
Ing very few outside orders given.
The weather conditions on corn are re-
garded as bearish and the market opened
somewhat lower The market recovered a
triflo with the upturn In wheat and sold up
around yesterdays closing prices
The oats market was very oulet and the
bulk OF the trades were In the December
and May article. Opening prices on oats
were steady, but the market was governed
considerably by the sentiment in wheat and
scored slight advance during the early
part Of the session.

Aberdeen herald. [volume] (Aberdeen, Chehalis County, W.T.) 1886-1917, 1916-03-24

These are the men who have CON-
plicated the question Of national de-
Tense by their gluttonous attempt to
bend the whole movement in their
own selfish interest. With pockets
stuffed as a result of the agony of
Europe, they have sought to make
of the necessity for reasonable de-
Tense at home an opportunity to op-
press a people at peace. They want
government to protect them, their
property, and their trade. They even
expect government to go to- war in
their behalf. Yet a suggestion of in.
dependence on the part of that gov
eminent is met by the terrorism of
monopolistic prices today and of dis
mantled plants tomorrow.
What is new in all this is not the
contemplated robbery of the people.
For many years that was matter of
course, and it may be so now. The in.
vestigation of 1895 showed that where.
as the United States had been charg-
ed $40 ton for armor plate, the prod
uct was regularly sold to foreign gov.
ernments for $249 ton. At that time
pressure was exerted chiefly upon the
Republican party, whose campaign
chests were regularly enriched. Now
with different regime in power, il

The Armor Plate Steal.

In fighting the Tillman bill for gov
eminent manufacture Of armor plate
on Monday last, Senator Lodge said:
"The only argument advanced in
favor of the bill was that the
armor plate manufacturers are
robbers and that the govern
ment would save money by 60
ing into the business"
Well, is not that argument suffici-
ent? There is not the slightest doubt
that it is true. Armor plate manu-
facturers have been openly robbing the
people of this country for many years,
and have been convicted of furnishing
defective plate to the government with
a reckless disregard of the safety of
the nation and the lives of our sea-
men.
The present manufacturers, who
have served notice that if the govern
ment establishes plant they will
Immediately increase the price 5000
a ton, are the successors of the men
who in 1894, on the testimony of ma
val experts, were fined $40, 484.94 by
President Cleveland for delivering to
the government armor plate that was
VIGOROUSLY defective, full Of blow
holes, cracked and resurfaced, never
honestly tested and far short Of spec
ifications in other respects. Some OF
this armor was intended for ships that
won the Spanish war, and if not de
tected might even now be the weak
defense upon which in great emer
gency American life, honor and prop
erty would depend.

Personal Prattle : =: .:s: s ::;::
By John ]. Carney
Contributing E ditto r

book, THE Secrets of the Hohenzol
lerns," with the following estimate of
the position President Wilson will oc-
cupy in history:
Some day, when the high waves of
feeling shall have subsidized, and the
now conflicting interests have found a
more common level, the excellent atti-
tude and position taken by President
the United States with the warning
powers will give him place in the
history of this country on level with
those of Washington and Lincoln. To
keep vastly rich and powerful coun-
try, teeming with over ninety million
people, mostly composed of descend
ants of men from the present belliger-
ent European countries from rushing
headlong into war and consequent in
calculable misery and loss, is truly
Herculean task.
What an amount of conflicting in
fluence and pressure is brought to bear
upon the chief executive of the most
powerful neutral country on earth is
known only to himself.
But there is every reason to be-
lieve that the level headed, truly clean
American at the White House will
20 uninfluenced the even tenor of his
way, strong in the convictions that
his stand is the only sane one to take
for the best interests of his country.
"The Sphinx of the White House 10
true symbol of America, the unac
counted factor"
