Fat Lambs Break Most; Muttons Lower in Spots. Ewes Weak to Around 10@15c Off—Some Yearlings and Wethers Steady. Union Stock Yards, South Omaha, Nebraska, October 24, 1916. The week opened with a moderate run of cattle for this time of the year, 527 loads, about 14,000 head. There seems to be very few corn-fed cattle in this part of the country, as very few of the 14,000 fresh cattle here Monday showed even a passing acquaintance with corn and there was not very much choice on sale. There was a good Inquiry for desirable cattle from all the dressed beef men, and the market was strong for anything of this kind. Prices ranged from about steady to in some cases as much as a dime higher, than Friday, and move ment was lively all forenoon. Quotations on cattle: Good to choice beeves, $9.75®>10.50; fair to good beeves, $8.50®9.50; common to fair beeves, $6.75®8.25; good to choice heifers, $C.75@7.25: good to choice cows, $6.50®7.00; fair to good cows, $5.85@6.4u; canners and cut ters, $4.25®5.75: veal calves, $8.00®) 10.00; bulls, $5.25®6.50. The week opened with the heaviest run of hogs for a Monday since three weeks ago, supplies being estimated at 69 loads or 4,800 head. Shippers bought a few loads early at about steady prices, and one of the packers also bought a load or two of the best hogs at this time at Saturday’s prices, paying a top of $10.15. The market was rather dull on early rounds, but after the buying started it did not take long to clean up. Bulk of sales landed at $9.75® 9.85, with a few scales on up, and the top as noted reaching $10.15, the highest price paid so far this month. Larly estimates indicated Monday’s sheep and lamb run was the smallest that has been here on a Monday for a long time. Mid-forenoon figures placed the supply at 106 cars or 29,000 head, which Is about 2,000 smaller than a week ago and 9,000 short of two weeks ago, but 3,000 heavier than a year ago. Most of the arrivals were feeders, but while no more big runs of fat lambs are looked for packers started out talking as much as 25c lower. Quotations on sheep and lambs: Lambs, good to choice, $10.2042 10.25; lambs, fair to good, $9.90 dj) 10.15; lambs, feeders, $9.00@10.00; yearlings, good to choice, $7.50@7.75; yearlings, fair to good, $7.00@7.50; yearlings, feeders. $7.00@8.00; weth ers, fair to choice, $6.50@7.40; ewes, good to choice, $6.50@6.75; ewes, fair to good, $5.75(56.50; ewes, plain to culls, $4.00@5.50; ewes, feeding, $4.50 @6.00; ewes, breeders, all ages, $6.25 ©9.00. Vote For Alonzo Daddow Republican Candidate For State Representative Political Jottings. The Houston Post reasons that it was easier for its own beloved De mocracy to endorse the President’s Mexican policy than to define it. While he was about It Senator James Hamilton Lewis also might have explained that the Rome that waa “too proud to fight" died a rather disastrous death. “In all fairness,” asks the Boston Transcript “shouldn’t the expense of financing Carranza be borne by the Democratic campaign committee?" Democrats really haven’t any ob jection to big appropriations for army and navy and Internal Improvements. They expect the Kepubllcans to rustle the revenue to foot the bills for the next four years. Hughes says he would like six months to investigate the Administra tion, but the Administration figures he's doing very well as It is. Vote For C. W. Trumble For Re-election to the Office of State Repesentative From Sherman County. M’KINLEY’S WAR COST LESS BLOODSHED THAN WILSON’S PEACE By Theodore Roosevelt. Under President McKinley we hud a war with Spain. Under President Wilson we are assured that we have had “peace” with Mexico. These are the words. Now for the deeds. During the wur with Spain fewer Americans were killed by the Spaniards | than have been killed by Mexi cans during the present “peace" with Mexico. Let me repeat this. A greater number of Araer ! icans have been killed by 1 Mexicans during these years, i when we are officially informed l that we have been at peace with them, than were killed by the Spaniards during our entire war with Spain. Moreover when the war with Spain was through, it was through. But peace still con tinues to rage as furiously as ever in Mexico. Nor is this all. The instant effect of the outcome of the war with Spain was to put a stop to the dread ful butchery und starvation in Cuba und the Philippines, and the entry of both Cuba and the Philippines on a career of elght ] een years of peace and pros perity such as they had never known before in all their check ered history. But during these three years of Mr. Wilson’s "peace," the Mexicans them . selves have been butchered by their own bandits steadily and without intermission; and Mexi can w-omen and children have died by thousands—probably by scores of thousands—of starva tion, and of tlie diseases Incident to starvation. In other words, Mr. McKinley’s war cost less peace; and It reflected high hon or on the American people; j whereas Mr. Wilson’s peace ( has been one of shume and dis honor for the American people, Sand one of ruin and bloodshed for the Mexicans. A PICTURE OF HUGHES. The New York World, which once was outspoken in its admiration for Mr. Hughes, now declares that the people do not know where Hughes stands, nr what he stands for. This Wilson organ had no such criticism to make when Mr. Hughes was gov ernor. The World said on May 17, 1910: “He dictated no nominations, controlled no convention, trafficked in no patronage, made no bargains with officeholders. He has rewarded no body for supporting him and punished nobody for opposing him. What in fluence he has wielded over public opinion has come through his appeals t« the voters themselves.” That Is the estimate of Mr. Hughes given by the World sis years ago. It is a pretty fair letter of recommendation. Could tile World say as much for President Wilson? Hardly, for the president has done all of the things from which the World absolved Hughes.—Kansas City Journal. GUARDSMEN PAY THE PRICE OF WILSONS ABASEMENT. ! i 1 ____ 1 I i i Having condoned the repeated murders of Americans by the Carranzistas, and having abased himself before Carranza, and having aided in placing Carran za in power, what is «Mr. Wil- 1 son’s reward? and who pays it? The reward is that Mr. Wilson has to place 150,000 troops on the border to partially prevent the raids and murders that his friend Mr. Carranza will not or cannot prevent; and the pay ment is made by the soldiers who are slain and by the fam ilies of the guardsmen who go in want because their husbands and fathers have been called to the border to make good Mr. Wilson’s refusal to let the regu lar army administer such punish ment to the bandits as to inspire in them a healthy fear.—From ' the speech of Col. Theodore Roosevelt, delivered at Lewis ton, Maine, in behalf of Charles 1 E. Hughes. The President himself has tried to appropriate for his own advantage the sentiment of “America first.” The I temocrats have tried to make his sup port nn act of piety, by adopting “Thank God for Wilson,” as a slogan. Mr. Hughes, with rare courage, frank ness and penetration, is exposing the flimsy foundation for the claims of Wilsonian infallibility. He is laying hare a record of extravagance, parti sanship, sectionalism, incompetence, wrongheadedness, vaccillation and in sincerity which destroys the attempt to make u joss out of the President, i The Democrats must coine out of their ecstatic trance and defend their stew ardship. The President Is to be put on the stump. We are to hear some tiling beside Delphic prose poems.— yjr, Louis Globe-Democrat. Mr. Wilson now virtually admits that all his own ideas were wrong four years ago. He has changed his mind on every public question. On some of them he has chnnged twice or even three times. Even if his friends could satisfy the public at this time he is exactly right, what assurance could be given that he would be right a year ,'ience? Everything has gone up under Wil son except the price of dead Ameri cans. Senator Jimham Lewis has pur chased a new volume of “Unfamiliar Quotations” and expects to be able any day now to give us the classical derivation of “pitiless publicity” and “strict accountability” in the original Babylontun. Add famous sayings of history: “I will surrender on this line if It takes all summer I” . QUESTION CRAZE SEIZES THE G.O.P. Democratic WORLD Long Had Monopoly of This Idiocy But Opposite Party Is Infected. STRING OF INTERROGATIONS TO FEASE WILSON IDOLATERS Questionnaire No. 1—Will All the Wil son Notes Be at His Notification? —How Did Fool Free Trade Hit Your Line of Business Just Before the Battles Began?—When the War Babies Die Will You Weep at the I Funeral? The question habit grows. You may ask a question of any one. Why ' should the dear old public escape? Here are a few from The New York Sun for the man in the street: Do you approve of the Rivera and Harbors loot? Do you want four years more of watch ful waiting with the National Guardsmen undergoing military training in a tropical climate in mid summer? Do you hold that the duty of the United States is to serve humanity and let its own citizens be killed and outraged? Do you feel proud of notes with noth ing behind them? What do you think of the Vera Cruz adventure? Would you like to have been an Amer ican soldier at CarrizaJ? Do you love Carranza? Do you believe in a financial regime conducted largely in the interest of one section of the country? Do you desire to cut the Philippines loose in order that Japan may gobble them? Do you want four more years of Daniels? Do you approve of wrecking the diplo matic service to provide jobs for deserving Democrats? Are you in favor of inflation? Do you believe in preparedness for a flood of cheap European wares as soon as peace comes? Have you noticed the significant in crease of imports in the past year, despite the war? How did fool free trade hit your line of business before August, 1914? And your friends? Were you all cheered up by the Un derwood tariff bill? Do you think the doubling of the income tax is fair while millions’ worth of competitive imports come in free? Where are you going to be when the war babies die and business slips back to the cold, hard, normal basis? Can you conceive of any possible good to you or to the country from another Presidential term like the present one? Will you perpetuate sectionalism, greed, ignorance, stupidity—general ineptitude in Congress? ATTRACTS BUSINESS MEN. Mr. Hughes has not rrled to scare anybody, but hus merely portrayed ihe errors of the present Administra tion sind set forth certain principles on which the affairs of tlie country should be managed in the future. There Is a political logic in this por trayal, the culmination of which in the mind of the voter is expressed by the frequent remark: “He is the kind of man we want to steer us through.” This has been said by many a busi ness man. The qualities seen in Mr. Hughes are poise, a strong, sane mind, sincerity and a willingness to sacrifice life, physical or political, to the good of the country. Nor is there any ques tion as to the quality of nerve to meet the emergencies of the four yeans be ginning March 4, 1917. !♦: HOME OF AVERAGE MAN. $ £ _ £ V v >; “But America is not simply a >; !♦; land for the man of special tal- H [♦; ent or of distinguished aptitude. >j This is the home of the average ;J !♦; man, the ordinary man who is doing his best, whatever, by tal- jji }♦! ent or aptitude and in owr large i*i § industrial occupations where $ >: thousands are gathered together W. >n one service, we want a recog !♦! nition of human brotherhood in }♦! >; providing for the welfare of >; those who make the wealth of H tills great country. “We want workingmen to be H I*; safeguarded from every injury that can be prevented.
