Not so long ago a movement was staried to get the people (0 help them- selves and to reduce the cost of living by using the cheaper cuts®of meat. It was undertaken with uncertainty for it was even maintained at the time’' that it would only result in putting up the price of (he cheaper cuts and the others as well Fulfiliment of the latter claim has been swaited. It seemed likely to fail for meat prices have not been elimbing and there have been those statements by the packers to the effect that the price on the hoof was back almest to the pries that prevailed before the war. That was suflicient to expect that retail prices would reflect that imprevement but it was a forlorn hope which ls now fellew- *d up by the announcement of higher prices as if in substantiation of the ear- lier ingistence that meat prices would famp upward. It is known of course that there are certain byproductz from which the han- dlers of meat get 2 retorn and it {6 the Iaet that it is impossible to get as much a8 was formerly obtained for such that it has been necessary to increase the price of meat.

MINNESOTA RESULTS, Attention has been given this week to the results of the primary held in the state 6f Minnesota for two reasons. The first was because of the fight that was befng made by the non partisan league to get its favoriges nominated, and the sccond Was the contest waged agsinst Congressman Volstead whose name ths act entorcing/ prohibition bears. The nén partisan league I3 as strong in Minnesota 2s in any of the states in that part of the country and it made 2 hard fight for control. but aecording to the figures given out it appears to have lost in its effort to get its candidate for governor named. The sitwation was different regarding Congressman Volstead, who, beeause of the part which he has played in prohibi- tion legislation had maturally aroused the opposition “of the wet forces. To have kim defeated for renomination appears therefore on the surfacs to be a vistory! for the wets, a demomstration by the people of his own district against his representation and therefore grounds for attributing the faet to hfs part in re- stricting aloshol in beverages to one-half of one per cent. H2d it béen a fact that his suecessfal opponent was a wet advocate sueh might| have been readily claimed and been ac- jcepted without question. but it doesn’t appear that such is the case for the nom- { inee anpears to be a minicter and a pro- mist. Thus the anti prohibitionists seem to have gained much by the |shift and it seems probable that the de- feat of Congressman Volstead In (he pri- {mary can be attribmted te the fact that his opponent had the endorsement of the. artisan league which gave him th which the congressman was un- jable to overcome. From the attitude of | the congressman and the one whe seems |likely to succeed him the séntiment of Ithe distriet is apparently with the drys but the work of Volstead in that direc- tion does not scem to have been sufficlent to get Alm a return ticket.

This appalling increase in world na- tional indebtedness during the recent war is, as has been indicated, due in large degree to the magnitude 6f operations. the bigness of armies and navies, the transportation of men, munitions and food supplies across great oceans, the creation and util tion on land and sea, in the air and be- neuth the ocean, and also in & mot siderablé degree to the fact that paper currency in with these obilga- tions were created and with which their proceeds were expended was of a con- stantly decreasing value as measured by its mold backing. Still another faetor in the great in- crease in quantity of securities issued is found in the fact that in many instances the sums realized for them were mate- rially less than their face value. In facl the sums which the European govern ments rcceived for their funded debts cre- ated during the war was about $5,500.- 000,000 helow the face value of the se- curities issued. The creation of national debts, which began with the Republic of Venice in 1171, was then dectared justifiable in time of war upon the srounds that future generations should be: a part of the ex- pense incurred in defebse of the common country, and, from that time down to the present, the bulk of national debts h: been accumulated by wars or in nre tion for war. The additions to national debts in the period of the Napoleonic war was over $200,000,000 per annum. dropping to an average of less than $50. 000.000 in the 38 yvears from their close to the Crimean war, averaging about $650,000,000 per anmum in the 20 years 1854-74. which included the Crimean. the American Civil and the Fr: o-Prussian wars. In the 27 years between the close of the Franco-Prussian war to the great Buropean war, a peried which inclu the Spanish-American, the British-Boer. the Balkan and the Russo-Japanese wars. the additions to national debts averaged about $600,000,000 per annum, though in a few instances exceeded $1,000.000.000 war. ry, pear and apple, have closed and shed fpoy annum, but sink into insignificance their petals, but as these lines are writ- ten the multi-colored irises have come and the great family of aazaleas. The love of mature is a great sift and .if it is frozen or crushediout, it has a telling effect on character. It is a well known fact that a lover of flowers can not be a very bad person.

But why is it we call it one thing in one person and something different in another person? For in- stance, if Petro Skynskinop takes ten yards of lead pipe from a freight house we call it stealing. If college boys and. girls “take” spoons from hotels, or sweaters, shoes, stockings, paint, powder, crimps, rings, blankets, bedsteds, suit cases, and dress suits from one another| we call it “cellege tricks.” If some di-i relict grabs a woman's purse we call| him a “sneak thief;” if he is smart| enough to grab a rail road we call him “a captain of finance” and send him to the United States senate. The question is still before the house: What is a thief? beautiful. The fellow was proven. guil- ty and the judge gave him a minimum sentence, explaining *hat he had never seen a person passionately found of flow- ers who was bad at heart. There sre somethings, in themselves apparently trivial, that provoke questions very hard to answer. Why are Some- things created seemingly for no other purpose than useless annoyance? At the best life is full of hard facts that must be met because they are jn- separable with life itself. Pain, disease, grief, trouble, disappointment and final- ly death, come to all. - While right liv- ing may reduce most of them to a mint- mum, still in no instance can they be wholly avoided. ~ What shall be said, however, of the great world of pests that attack persons and things apparently for no purpose? Many things exist for which science has discovered no ade- quate reason. Why must we labor early and late to save shrubs and plants from pests? The shrub is necessary, but the pest—seemingly—is useless. Why should such a noble animal as the horge be tormented by the horse fly?

Interest centered wholly in the “the fleld” against George H.

Great excitement prevailed through- out the long balloting. Pendleton led the first ballot in field of 10. His nearcst opponent s Andrew Joh n—elected as a republican vice pres- ident four years previously—who was quite generally supported by Southern delegates. General Winfieid S. Han- cock of Penesylvania, the soldier can- didate (to be nominated 12 years later) was a poor third. On the second lot, Thomas A. Hendricks of Indiana (whose name was to figure prominent- Iy In later natiomal conventions almost without interruption) moved into sec- ond place. Still the ultimate nominee for 1368 had not appeared upon the roll. On the twenty-first ballot, Pendleton had been entirely eliminated and the fight lay between Hendrickks (132 and Hancock (135) with 212 votes necessary to a choice.
