By-Products Utilization.

During the decade from 1850 to
1880, Armour and Company continued
to expand rapidly as new fields of
endeavor opened up. 1t was during
this period that the utilization of by
products began and the development
of that part OF our business. more than
any other factor, accounts for our
being engaged in so many industries
which at first glance seem unrelated
to meat packing.
"In 1880 the firm found a satisfac.
tory outlet for beef suet by beginning
the manufacture of oleomargarine.
Two years later, methods were found
for using blood, bones and meat scrap.
In 1854 the firm engaged in the glue
business so as to have an outlet for
great quar- titles of animal material
that in the past had been wasted. The
following year the firm was able to
put hiGh-grade pepsin and beef
extract on the market and in the years
that followed, ways and means were
found to utilize everything in or on
a meat animal.
The big packers are TO be credited
with this development for without
their quantity production, the by-prod

Neither speaker is making appeal to the intelligence of the country The president and the senate could have about as much influence on the high of living and the spread of radicalism they could have on cyclones and fross.
 No doubt if president is of any service to his country in emergency he be of greater service in the national capital dealing with concrete things than he by roaming about his native foreign lands, generalizing of things ideal and less 3mmateral.
 And, granting that it might be possible for the president to modify the high cost of living situation by staying at home and attending to his knitting Senator Johnson should be specific and point out what the president could do beyond the exercise of the powers that have already been given him. That is presumably being done already not the presence of the president probably expedite the exercise of those If anything is lacking their else be supplied by favorable location of the president but by another and a different kind of president whose head will not be in the clouds wherever he may be.
 As to the presidents discovered relation between the treaty and radicalism that is exactly the same relation that exists between the League of Ma lions and seismic disturbances. The president has informed his audiences that there is such relation but he has not pointed it out to them. They must accept his word for it's existence He would expect his announcement to them that the moon is composed Of green cheese to be accepted without proof
 Both the president and his opponents would make more headway if they would stick to demonstrable facts The spirit of Missouri has spread over the country amazingly within the last few years The people must be shown that thing so the thing itself to be worth their attention. They greatly terested in radicalism in Russia They afraid of it at home They have dealt with it before They know it to be cowardy it is vicious, and to be easily suppressed when the iron hand is displayed.

Why We Went to War

Reviewing the circumstances under which this government entered the war after having desperately tried to remain at peace with Germany, President Wilson said at Helena Thursday night
 We tried to persuade ourselves that European business was business. We tried to convince ourselves that matter what happened the other side of the sea- obligation of duty rested upon us and finally found the currents of humanity strong for found that great consciousness was yelling up in because this not local cause; that this was struggle which was to be confined Europe confined to Asia to which it had already spread, but it something that involved the very fate of civilization, and there great nation in the world that couldn't afford to stay out"
 Is there any who soberly believes that the foregoing is statement of the circumstances in which we went to war? We all know that the thing that provoked into the the notifica- ton by Germany that keep off the seas ex- eept within clearly defined tortuous zone within which ships might travel under certain other conditions which were at the same time to be imposed. If we departed from that zone failed to observe those conditions which Germany had imposed our ships would be sunk
 So shameful was this ultimatum us that we were driven to war, for Europe, not for hu- manity for civilization not for democracy, but for our self respect and America. We had already suffered much in loss of self respect We suffered first when the Busitania sunk, and when after that American vessel after American vessel was the bottom. Each sinking to America of war to which the people ready to respond but the government to the peoples disgust held back it's response through two shameful years
 Meanwhile German agents were more and more boldly plotting in America. Another circumstance that has not yet been clearly and publicly been brought is that the time of German notification of unrestricted submarine warfare state depart ment and had long been. in secret possession of information of the German plot to enbro this into with Germany Mexico and Japan. Yet, the president before asking congress to declare of protested against the ultimatum If his protest had been needed. would socitude for Europe and humanity still have led us into war? We think not. Why that protest made if in the faint hope that we might be left little longer in enjoyment of shameful peace9
