the people of the kingdom before
ninny more months pass. Colonial
Secret iry Chamberlain, who has just
stepped down otitoftluH'ihluet,wnitta
a system of tariir duties which will
give n preference to the piodmts of
England's colonies, though the com
pensation demanded isa preference on
the part of tho colonies to imports
from England. Premier Balfour wants
a tarllf huIimuo whereby retaliatory
duties can 1)6 Imposed on goods from
tho counties which tax tho imports of
British commodities, which means
virtually all tho great countries of tho
world,
Tho dltforenco between tho Chamber
lain and the Balfuor Ideas may not
seem important to the world at large,
for each contemplates the imposition
of duties on some or many of tho pro
ducts of the rest of thegreateountries
It is important enough, however, in
the opinion of Mr. Chamberlain, to
prevent tho two loaders from working
in harmony together, and lienco tho
colonial secretary retires. On one
point both Balfour and Chamberlain
are agreed. They believe tho British
people are not yet prepared to tax im
ports of food products. Moreover,
they think that a campaign of educa
cation will be necessary to win them
to the taxation side, even If they can
be won at all.
In any case, the matter will have to
go to the British electorate for a de
cision, and this will bring up tin-whole
question of protection and free trade
in a more direct way than at any time
since the free-trade basis was readied,
over half u century ago. Tho election
will havo a great interest for the
people of tho United States, as well as
for tho other countries. The adoption
of a policy of protection would iujuro
American exportation into England
for a tlmo at least. Tho fact, howovor,
that it would tnako food dearer in
England will be a strong argument
against both the Balfour and Chamber
lain plans. This is a point which ill
be urged with grout force by tho Li
beral party, which in general, will tako
ground against the adoption of pro
tection. There is n chance, indeed, for
u return of tho Liborals to power on
this issue. In any case, an element of
interest lias been injected into British
politics such as it has not felt since
home rule for Ireland was defeated.

Our National Air.
Tin- order of the secretary of the
navy has established in that depart
ment nt the govermeiit as our national
ah, the "Star Spangled Banner."
Some people are aggrieved because it
supersedes "America", which because
of its better adaptation to the scale of
tho ordinary voice, is sung ofteuer
than any other of our patriotic songs.
But as America is identical with the
liritish national air, it is embarrassing
to the sailor men when participating
in an international fete, where the
representatives of each nation present
aro expected to render their national
airs. For an American and a British
delegation to repeat each others'
strains is not Mattering to our national
pilde. While only accomplished
oculists can sing the Star Spangled
i j. nuer wmi mo nesi eueci, li is
w udcrfully inspiring when rendered
in triimoiitally, inferior to none of the
n itiiiuul airs of the period, not even to
the Marseillaise. Some criti ssnythat
ii is not mi original American compo
sition. Neither is "God Save the King"
an original English composition.
Most of the immortal song composi
tions come from the sunny south, in
Italy or France, the original fount of
most popular music. Even "Yankee'
Doodle" has been traced to tho remot
est antiquity. "A Hot Time" may be
among those airs indigenous to this
country, but ragtime is not considered
quite stately enough for national airs.
The adoption of the Star Spangled
Banner by the navy, always to be sung
or played as our national air, will
doubtless give it universal precedence
and stamp it as the American song
just as tho "Marsellaiso" Is French,
and the "Wacht am Hhein" tho Ger
man aud -God Save the King" tho dis
tinctive British tune. It is a good
to?

YOUR BETTER HALF
Should you be fortunate enough to have a better half,
will want you to wear a stylish new Suit for fall. SHE'S
RIGHT, She takes pride in your appearance. She knows
that the chances for success are in favor of the well dressed
man, and on Sunday when you go to church with her, or
you go out to spend the evening, she wants you to look as
good as any other woman's husband. Now, the matter ot
expense need not stand in the way. We can fix you up with
a stylish, up-to-date, serviceable outfit for a very small
amount, say Sio, and from that on up to $25 or $30, or as
high as you want to go. Our stock is large enough and our
prices small enough that you can find what you want at the
price you want to pay. We'll be glad to give you visible
proof of this if you'll come in. New fall goods arriving daily.

Kansas City, Mo , Sept. 21 1003
Live stock receipts at Kansrs City
last woek and same week a year ago
were as follows:
1903: Cattle, 75,208; calves, G.200;
hogs, 37,189; sheep, 25,917; II. &. M
1,040.
1902: Cattle, 83,475; calves, 10,307;
hogs, 29,507; sheep 29,839; H & M. 1,731.
Corn steors sold as high Wednesday
and also Tuesday as at any timo this
season, but to many cattle in sight at
all tho miirketvlast wook accounts for
n break of 15 to 25 conn nt tho end of
tho week, mostly on wintered westerns.
There was absolutely no inducement to
ship elsewhere, so salesmen cut loose
and were able to clean out by lower
lug prices Cows, calves and bulls
showed very little chiingo Notwith
standing adverse conditions, in tho
way of car shortage, and frost scare,
stocker and feedor business was tho
largest of tho year last woek, and 3.10
cais went out to country points, .350
cars going to Missouri, 210 cars to
Illinois, 1G0 to Kansns, und tho balance
to various other states The situtrion,
however, was against sellers und prices
dropped 10 to 25 cents, distributed over
nil classes. Tho railroads promise
better servicothls week, and, with all
fear of frost removed, prospects in this
line are materially better for the cmi-
lug week Top corn cattle brought
$5 B0, most of them selling from $1 GO
to i5 10 Cows sold from $J 25 to $3 25,
with $1 5iJ for a top Best veal calves
brought around $5 50, bulls J2 23 to
$2 75, und Mocker and feeders sold
mostly from 33 to 6380, with sales on
up to f 1 50.
Receipts to-day aro 18,000 head, and
murket slow, but at st ady prices
mostly. Tho only bear factor to-day
is lower reports from Chicago, but
with demand good hero, and moderate
run for this season of the year, prices
average about steady
Fluctuations wero loss violent last
weok 111 hog prices, than during pre
vious week. Heavy weights gradually
sold up nearer to light weights, galu-
lug 10 cents during tho weok. Pack
ers shipped iu 7,000 hogs last weok,
uouglit on other marko s, being un
able to till their orders from the
supply at Kansas City. Run to-day is
0,000 head nud prices 10 cents higher,
with a top of 0 10, and bulk of all
sales ut tii 05 to $0 05.
Sheep aud lunib prices wore on tho
boom last weok, and biimo ooudit on
rules to-duy. Wei hers bring $3 75,
feeding wetliiu s ?3 10, fat native lambs
$5 50, feeding westerns around SI,
owt s 'J 10 to S.12.) Avorago gain last
week was 10 to 25 ceuts, and prices aro
up 10 to 15 cents to-day, iu spito of 11
run of 10,000 head.
Everything sold out cloan last wook
in tlio horso liuo. Heavy horses
remained firm, and tho lightor ones
improvod somo. Mule trade, however,
was very unsatisfactory, aa cotton do-
maud did not develop as expected,
aud it now looks as though this trade
will be lato this season. Extreme
range 940. to 1105.
