MARKET LETTER.
Letter From our Regular Correspond
ent at Kansas City.
Kansas City, July 18, 1910. Forty
thr< < thousand cattle arrived here
last week, including six thousand
calvi s. and while this run was nearly
twit, as large as the supply of the
previous week, everything sold more
easily, and at. some slight advance
over the prices of the wkee before.
Tin buoyant agent was the fact that
buyers had large orders to fill, the
slim buying of the previous week
having allowed fresh meat channels
to run dry to a certain extent. The
crest of the supply from the quaran
tine country has been passed, as one
third of the total cattle last week
cam. from below the line, whereas, a
few weeks ago, half the receipts
w'ere coining from quarantine terri
tory . Kansas pastures are contribut
ing more freely, and will likely fur
nish a larger share each week for a
time Advices from Colorado state
that cattle are three weeks or a
month ahead of their usual condition
at this time, and that run from there
( will start in August in good shape.
Drought cattle from the northwest
have been running to Omaha and Chi
cago for some weeks, and one big
outfi is getting ready to ship several
thousand steers from Wyoming to
Kansas pastures this week if the dry
weather continues. The run here to
day is 12,000 cattle, not including
2000 calves, market steady. Chicago
run is 2,000 today market lower,
and buyers hung back here trying to
get cattle cheaper, but eventually had
to come through with steady prices,
lop $8.00, heavy Kansas grass steers
$0.25 to $7.25, lighter steers $5.00 to
$6.00, grass cows around $4.00, bulls
$3.25 to $4.75, top veals $8.50, Stock
ers $3.26 to $5.00, a few fleshy feed
ers up to $6.50.
Hog values declined 42 cents last
week, and the feature of the week,
outside ,of the big slump, was that
light hogs got the biggest end of
the decline, especially after the mid
dle of the week. The run was52„000
head as compared with 24,000 same
week last ytar, but that light run
was on account of washouts on rail
roads all over Kansas. Run to
day is 6,000 head,1 market opened
weak, but shippers were active and
the close was 5 to 10 higher, heavies
again coining in for their full share.
The rally today is regarded as only
temporary, as the destination of the
market is to a lower level before the
end of the month. European coun
tries are said to be curtailing con
sumption of lard to an extent not real
i/.od by the trade, due to high prices,
but more to the use of vegetable oils
and other substitutes .

Democratic Convention.
Ti e democrats today are holding
their convention. At the time of
going to press nothing has been done.
Hitchcock of the World-Herald is
telling the convention why we should
not have county option. His reasons
are rot worthy of a man who holds
the position in state politics as is
held by the editor of the World-Her
ald.
It is too early to predict what will
be dene in the convention, but it is
evident that the Richardson county
democrats feel that only heroic
measures will stop the movement
which has been started by their
‘‘peerless leader.”
Some two years ago the writer
had the pleasure of seeing Mr. Hitch
cock and Mr. Bryan throwing bo
quet.: at each other, in a mutual ad
miration society meeting in Omaha.
They, at that time talked loud and
long about the reforms for which
they stood, for the Jeffersonian idea,
for civic righteousness, moral de
cencj, etc. It was a regular love
feas', and was enjoyed as such. But,
oh, today, what a difference. Bryan,
we believe, stands today for a
movement which will benefit human
ity and Mr. Hitchcock fears it will be
so unpopular tkat the democrats will
be defeated in the election this fall.
lie seems to think that all the
democrats and the wet republicans
will vote his way.
The boasted Jeffersonian idea was,
wo believe, high in its ideals.-- .,
Some things do change, blit Ss yet:
we bavn’t. heard of a case where a!
drunken man rn^rtyj aji ideal husband1
and father.

Veidon, Neb., .Inly 18, lb 10,—-Editor
Kalis City Tribune Will you kindly
permit me space to say a few words
to my many democratic friends oil
the question which la now agitating
all i 'asses in this state, via, "County
Option.” Strictly, 1 am not. a dem
ocrat For the first, time In thirty
four years I wish 1 was, that I might
lie lr» position to help uphold this
niov nieiii.. In writing this I wish to
say before 1 was eighteen years ohl
I overheard n man say of me, "Ask
him; he will tel! you. he always lias
a reason."
I will say for myself if the other
fellow has a wetter one I give up,
and always try to Judge by results.
Tin; fact is that It makes no differ
ence to the distillery and brewery in -
Wrests wlmt politics a candidate may
have, lull only, which candidate they
can amice tne best, bargain, 1ms forc
ed me lo take my present position,
and the fact that I state is proven
by the World-Herald statement,"That
fqr * lie democrats to adopt county
option would defeat the party." If
the democrats adopt a better policy
than their opponents surely they
do hot want to fool unwilling brew
ers and distillers Into voting it If
they don't want to.
Regarding Ibis sumptuary legisla
tion of which \ve hear so much, what
does the Herald nnd Falls City News
mean by it? The suit now pending
bi’foii Tin' Supreme court on ap
peal from the United Stales district
court by the millers, regarding bleach
ed flour, restricts our rights to use
bleached flour arid the law forbidding
the butchers using formaldehyde to
prevent the detecting of taint (ri
meat* prevents the placing of that on
the niarke* again,' interfering with,
somebody's right'to eat or tlrftik wliat
they please. Tn fact, all the pure food
luglKbrtion we have dot's this. Head
bet ween tile lint's, Mr. Democrat; <lo
you propose, if given, the opportrinfty
to repeal,tllbfri1? Again, yeti’day “the
democratic ■ party has always been lit
favo' of granting to everybody tho
Utmost freedom." So do I. ITert*
we rrti on common ground. The re
publican jr.iriy has always been a
party of blgli' tariff. " Taft. Aldrich,
and Cannon,' 'want to rend alt repub
licans out of the party who do not
agroi, wiib this, and 1 think they
will succeed. Illtcticock, Dahliuan
and Heed would read all democrats
out of the party who do not agree
will: them and I think they will suc
ceed too. Hv all menus stand pat.
Satan always dees.
'I’lii' World-Ilerald say#, “The dem
ocrats all agree on The initiative and
refl'i endturi." Iluh! There is no
time like this time. Tin* deinoo
(irnts had plenty of votes in the last
legislature with what help the re
publicans would give to have car
ried it Why didn’t you pass it if
you were so much in favor of it.
The World-Herald again says,
“Eighty per cent of tin* democrats
are opposed to county option,” And
rlglT here permit me to say the
twenty per cent are democrats, like
myself who voted for you because
you advocated advanced politics and
if you are going back to tin* old ex
ploded cry of sumptuary legislature
and personal liberty we will try and
find some'one who Is not going back
ward—maybe C. O. Wheadon. Again
the World-Herald says: “To not put
for or against county option in their
platform does not show cowardice.”
One much' more capable than Hitch
cock said 1300 years ago. “He that
is not for me is against me.”
Closing permit me ty thank .1. O.
Shreyer of Humboldt for the article
in the Lincoln News of July 12th on
‘‘The Home Village Problem.”
