Topeka Soldier Gives Family a
Welcome Surprise.
No Word From or of Him Since
He Arrived in France.
He WAS GIVEN UP AS LOST
Albert Sheahan, 1896 Polk,
Wounded in st. Mihiel Battle.
Pershing Himself Tried Every
Means to Locate Him.

Albert Sheahan, of 1896 Polk street,
walked into his home Thursday after
noon to the joyful surprise of the

They were afraid it would be a re-
currence of asother of the myster-

who is lost in the great NAV of war
and never heard of again.
On November II his family was
notified that Albert Sheahan was

He was shot thru the right side and
several ribs were broken. His legs

workers to write home for him. but il

Oscar the Ininitable

The black cigar and tilted hat of Oscar
Hammerstein, both set at impossible and
defiant angles, were typical of much
within. No one could be a parallel to
those unquenchable and extraordinary
adventures in the world of music. He
was more than half myth, let US agree.
But it is of myths and by myths that art
and cities arise and disappear
No wonder the people took to Oscar
and performed wonders to make his shot
at the moon financial success! 1t is
the way of institutions always to run
into fixed channels and become stale and
conservative and inf1exible. Perhaps
Oscar Hammerstein with full success
might have become similarly ossifed.
But always failure-financial failure.

Cattle and Meat Prices

The following letter is similar to many
which The Tribune has received:
Will The Tribune kindly answer, if posi-
BILE, the vital question in relation to meat
cost and selling prices by Certain pack
ing house of Chicago" which are quoted in
your editorial to-day under the caption
"The High Price Circle"
Who is it that buys from the packing
house the meat of the dressed cattle at
$81.45 per head. e., at about IT cents
per pound?
live steer weighs in the neighborhood
of 1900 to 900 pounds eliminate the 600
pounds for hide, hoofs, horns, cntras, etc.
and you have 1000 pounds salable as
meat (bones sold as meat.
The public pays from 40 to 55 cents per
pound at RETAIL or about $3.50 for the
animal. Here is the real difference or
profit that is never mentioned in Swift's
advertisements and is overlooked entirely
in your editorial.
Even if | have overestimated the weight
of the animal by 100 per cent, yet would
the profit be enormous.
H. G. ERDMAN.
Jersey lily, IN. d., aug. a, 1919.
The year book of The Chicago Drouers'
Journal says that the average price paid
for live cattle on the Chicago market
during 1918 was $14.50 per hundred.
If the packing company paid an aver
age price of $92.70 per animal this
would indicate an average weight not
of 1900 pounds but of $40 pounds. Our
correspondent probably forgets the calves,
the yearlings and the skinny ones. The
average price for dressed meat is set
down at $18.03 per hundredweight. Be-
tween this and $14.50 per hundredweight
on the hoof there is no inconsistency.
Rather it is indicated that there would be
a loss except for the by-products
The figures to which our correspondent
refers were definitely given by the pack
ing company They are true or they are
untrue. SO jealous a campaigner as
Francis j. Heney, who investigated the
company's books, has not challenged them
Reported Investigations by government
agents throw no doubt on their essential
accuracy. They may be misleading, but
between defniteness and a mere offhand
estimate the former seems more credible
We venture to advise our correspond
ent, if he is genuinely interested, to be
satisfied with no mans say so, but to
dig into the facts thoroughly and fairly.
He will thus equip himself to contribute
to the real education of the public.

The Impudence of Reform

1t is easy to laugh at the grotesque
propaganda put forward by the w. c..
T. U. in the course Of its anti-tobacco
movement. 1t is equally easy to be
wrathful and indignant at such impu-
dence designed to teach children in
school not to kiss father who smokes.
We suggest that both points of view
are worth bearing in mind and ex
pressing in due proportion, by no means
letting our good nature run away with
our amply justified sense of outrage.
1t is the way Of reformers to run to
these excesses, and there is no blinking
the fact that the success of the prohibi
ton movement has given the anti-nico-
tine advocates a strong boost. The
method of procedure has been staked
out by the highly efficient Anti-Saloon
League. There is good deal more than
talk in the announcement that the
w. G. T. U. aims at an anti-tobacco
constitutional amendment by 1924. The
country ought to realize as soon as pos
sible that here is another strong and
active minority resolved upon success
and believing so strongly in the virtue
of its proposal that it cares not how
hagrantly the home and it's most init
mate ties are attacked and undermined
provided the one goal is reached
There are powerful reasons for advo-
eating prohibition, which even the most
resolute defenders of liquor must con-
cede. There are no arguments of cor
responding weight in the case of to-
bacco. If it is to be attacked and it's
abolition sought, the whole movement
for community virtue by resolution will
come under deadly crossfre. The
cynics are already arguing: "Let the
w. c. T. U. have its way and the whole
prohibition movement will be over
thrown by an infuriated people," This
is neither sound nor right The time to
put reason into the encroachers upon
personal liberty is now. The country
wants and needs whatever benefit can
be had from a proper restriction upon
dangerous drink. 1t should see to it for
chilly and effectually that these benefits
are not compromised by association with
pious but silly fad
