URGES ACLEAN
CITY PRIMARY
RaIston Also Asks Democrats
to Keep Out of G. o. p.
Middle.

B. AZ. Ralston, democratic candidate
for mayor in an address at the Thomp-
son Club, Nineteenth and Alabama
streets. last night urged Democrats to
stand for q clean primary.
Mr. Ralston expressed confidence that
he would be nominated and urged Demo-
Gratis generally to take no part in the
Republican campaign that is going on.
II have been asked which Republican
candidate 1 preferred seeing nominated,
he said, II have fnvaribly said that was
a matter Of absolute Indifference to me.
I am not taking any part in selecting
the candidate for the Republican party
nor do I want or expect my friends to
interest themselves in making a nomi-
nation for Republicans. 1 will interest
myself in their nominee for mayor, after
they name him.
"Of one thing I feel certain and that
is. that If one-haf that the Republicans
candidates are saying about one another,
Is true / shall have no trouble In dereat-
ing the Republican nominee next fall.
al am interested in just two things at
this time, and the first is in getting the
nomination for mayor myself, and the
second is, in seeing the Democrats on the
different election boards stand for an
honest primary election l want my OPP
ponents to be given every vote TO which
they are entitled, and 1 ask for nothing
more for myself.
Certainly Democrats should not be IN
terested in counting in or counting out
any Republican candidate, only in so
far as they are interested In having an
honest count. All sorts OF rumors are
anoat I do not know that there is any
truth in any Of them, but l want the
FMS 81
upon clean primary and that means an
honest count
IF any one is allowed to succeed
through dishonest count, do not want
to be that man. Personally, l can better
afford to be counted out by dishonest
methods than can to be counted in by
such methods.
1.-THE people Of Indianapolis could not
expect me to give them q clean admins
tration If were willing to become
party to an unclean primary"

PUBLIC BENEFITS
BUT LITTLE FROM
LIVESTOCK DROP
Retail Butchers Hold Up
Prices and LoU-Priced
Meat Is Not Found.

CHICAGO, April 26.-Retan butchers
are now dipping their ladle into the
gravy.
They are clinging onto the bowl with
a vengeance, take it from those who pro-
duce live stock and prepare IL for the
market
With prices Of both cattle and hogs
down to pre-war levels the retail market
holds up and there is little prospect or
the public getting any great benefit from
the slump in live stock prices according
to leaders in close touch with market
conditions. While prices Of choice beef
steers dropped to the lowest point In the
last decade there has been an advance
from l to points IN the last weeks for
the best grade Of beef.
The advance in beef quotations was ex-
planned by butchers, who said there had
been a siren thening Of the demand due
to the scarcity. Packers had been kill
Ing no more than necessary and had lit
tie IN storage. II was learned, so that as
soon as the demand was felt It had an
Immediate effect on retail and wholesale
prices of meat, but not on live stock.
LIVE STOCK SELLS
AT PRE-wAR PRICES.
Market quotations show that live stock
In selling below pre-war levels so that
the responsibility for keeping up retail
prices cannot be placed on the producer.
The buck" is then passed up to the
packer-the wholesaler.
Market quotations on such articles that
the packer sells which can be compared
to pre-war prices put the packer in the
clear Of the responsibility, they claim.
Lard is down to or 10 cents, which was
about the figure in 1915.
The first meat product to complete
liquidation, according to packers, was
pork Wholesale pork reached the 1914
level some time ago and yet retail pork
prices are still far above the figure Of
seven years ago.
Three and a quarter pounds OF pork
roast today sold for Sis, at leading
retail butcher shop. The same piece OF
meat could be obtained from any packer
employees organization shop for about
65 cents. This is above the wholesale
price. as the employees shop must also
pay its overhead charges from the
selling price, the same as other retail
shops.
LOW PRICED MEAT
NOT ON MARKET.
Hogs and cattle now being received
are of the choicest grades. They have
been fed heavily during the winter on
cheap corn and other foods. An abnor-
NAL number Of high class hogs and cat
tie are reported at practically all mar
kets.
Butchers say the reason that prices
remain up is because there is no demand
for the '1ow grades" OF meat, and they
must make enough profit on the high
grades to make up for the loss in the
low grades. They must buy both classes
from the packers.
Inquiry at a half dozen Chicago
butcher shops for soup bones and other
cuts usually regarded as low grade
brought the response that they had moth
ing of the sort on hand.
Even the once lowly liver manages to
retain the high caste TO which it was
elevated during the war. Although the
price OF the live animal is just the same
as It was ten years ago, when enough
liver could be obtained for a nickel to
feed a family Of six. Chicago butchers
were charging 10 cents a pound.

Fortunate is he who understands
the gospel Of happiness, the philos-
ophy Of sweet content; who is a dev-
otee Of the religion Of laughter. It
was Ella Wheeler Wilcox who said {:
Laugh and the world laughs with
you; weep and you weep alone." A
forgotten rhymester declared: 1T is
easy enough to be pleasant when the
world goes by with song, but the
man worth while is the man who can
smile when everything goes dead
wrong" Both Of these are absolutely
true to human nature. We would
stumble through dark forest to fol-
low laughter, but run from crouch,
says the Denver Times. We dread
our friends complaint about his sour
stomach as much as we dread the
plaintive wall Of fretful baby.
