For Justice to All SCHUYLER, Neb., Jan. 8L—To the Editor of The Bee: I wish to thank you for your falrness in your comment on my communication. If all the newspapers would use the same good judgment in re- gard to this meat boycott it would be bet- ter for-all. As you say, there is a circle that connects us all together. And every time someons kicks & cog out of the wheel he Interferes with the working of his own affairs. And when the producer is hurt you are getting at the foundation of the | prosperity of the country. In this meat | boycott the producer is the first one hurt the laboring man is p The pac! 18 not hurt at all. It gives them a good chance to lower the price of meat on foot. They empioy the best men they can get to buy for them and take every chance in the market to lower pri the packer is makifk™ihy more money than is just. Meat is not too high, and cannot go over the block cheaper unless someons will loosen 'some hard-earned money. Be just—think about the expense of the producer and the packer before you say meat is too high. Let the laboring man stop and think of the thousands of men that would be thrown out of employ- ment if this boycott was to go on. You say my advice to the meat boycotters to use less beer and not go to the theater so often is just as wide of the mark, This is not so. In the first place, I did not say for them to cut out elither one. That ls thelr privilege. My suggestion was for some to use less beer and not go to the theater so often, if they cannot afford to buy meat. You speak of the brewery as a consumer of farm products. This 1s -all right as far as it goes. But it is a' very small per cent as compared with thé meat industry. Yes, we want to get away with the one-idea man; he is detrimental to the prosperity of the country. You speak of the avariclous farmer. This Is unjust, as any one at all posted knows that the American farmers, are the most generous people on earth and & close friend to the | laboring man in the city as well as on the Garm. The farmhand lives as one of the farmer's family. .He gets the best wages we can pay. What more can we do? Why fight the farmer. Yours for justice to all, ARTHUR J. GRIER, A Few Rensons Why. OMAHA, Feb. 1—To the Editor of The Bee: Much is being sald at the present time about the high price of living and its cause. A few reasons why from one who has studied conditions in the British Isles and whd understands home conditions might not be out of place. It s belng sald, and truthfully so, that the best cuts of American beef can be bought in Liverpool 6r London as cheap as In Omaha; this being true, what Is the cause? Now do not blame the exporter, nor the English meat cutter; the trouble In part s with the American housewife, who wants the best, tender cuts, and they want them In a hurry just before meal time, and they must be the best. Now, as there 18 & limited amount of cholce cuts in each beef and a poot” ‘denfind for the coarser joints, the meat ‘utter must get his price for the tender parts, as there is very little demand for the coarser joints, except at a greatly reduced price. Condi- tions are reversed In Liverpool; the British housewife understands”how to ‘buy and cook economie: because money is of more value to her than it is to her Amer- fcan cousin. The demand for coarse meats in the British market fér exceeds that for the tender quality at a difference of not to exceed 3 cents per pound. The British meat cutter will eut meat for less than 1 cent per pound profit, but you will have to ask your butcher how much per pound he takes, and as there is no honest com- petition at the present time In any line of trade, 1 am surprised that prices are not largely from the best joints, and the sumer is at the mercy of both, The American housewife ought to. siudy how to buy meat in person, know the value of the different cuts and take home all she buys. The meat cutter welghs up all and | then proceeds to trim the Joints, throwing | the trimming under the counter: to English housewife these would be the most valuable part of the joint for soup pur- | ‘What T have sald about meat is true of every article purchased by the American consumer. Comblnes by your home dealer In every department is largely responsible for the present state of affairs. One more Instance, American fiour is| shipped to the British Isles, for example, and yet baker's bread is sold there 40 per cent cheaper than it is in Omaha; now guess who gets the profit. Anyone desir- ous of knowing where the trouble is does rot have to ask any member of President Taft's cabinet, but study the greed of big profits demanded by the home dealers of lany line of business, JAMES WALSH From m Crahiree Partisan.

PUT YOUR MONEY TO WORK G. Wallace on Omaha as Realty Market Town. TO0 MUCH CAPITAL IS IDLE Urges Loeal Men to Branch Ount and Interest Other People with Capital in Omaha Real Eetate, What President F. . Wead pronounced one of the most profitable and Interesting addresses made before the body In a long time was an address by G. G. Wallace be- fore the Omaha Real Estate exthange at the regular weekly meeting ' Wednesday noon. Mr. Wallace discussed Omaha as a real estate market town.. He teok the position that the dealers here should not sit down and let things drift, but should make enrncst effort to .enlist capital now lying idle, perhaps, In the large money centeérs, He wanted people controlling this capital to be Interested in the opportunities that are open in Omaha, ¥o that it would be in- vested here and thas ald in developing and bullding still further this city. Then, In turh, he would have; Omaha capital, or Oniaha men handiing money for other In- vestors, become interested in a lively, help- ful fashion, in the territory tributary to this eity. “We must not be ‘scif-centered In our ecity and our own particular Interest” sald Walace, “but spread out; get others in distant sections of the country to take a substantial interest in Omaha. Then we in turn should take up the example of other places, real citles, which help to bulld up the country from which they draw trade.” Mr. Wallace cited several southern and western cities which have béen profiting immensely by the Invesiment of outside capital in large bufldings and in big busi- ness ventures. This led to a lively discus- sion of the relative merits of local or out- side ownership, In which there was con- siderable dlvergence of views. in the course of the discussion numercus exam- ples - were quoted wherein outside capital had done good work In Omaha, and also . hed seemed most advantageous to have local local ownership in control and getting the benefit of the unearned inere- ment. The fallure '0f North Sixteenth street to develop as It might have dofe was alluded to, and also the “ploneering" of untried, new dlistricts, as when the Bennett store went to Sixtcenth and Ha ney. Some of the members insisted local capital invested, involving local control development, has proven the best in Omaha. Others dld not agree with this view entirely, and some not at all. Next Wednesday W. L. Selby will read a paper on the “Intrinsic Value of Real Ks- tate,” and President Wead promised that several more than ordinarily good addresses or papers will be presented at meetings within the next sixty days. “Meanest Graft” is Fake Labor Agency Business This is Judge Crawford’s Declaration '~ to B.

James A. Davies s an employment agent of good reputation and has no connection with -Ben Butler Davls.

He promised to fix his Groung Hog High- ness Tuesday, and got ifité communication with Medfcine Hat anll Havre, Mont, so that the Ground Hog should be In no danger of sunstroke. The clouds came. And when Colonel Ground Hog poked his nose out of his winter warren at the. hour of sunrise Wednesday his eyes were not biinded by the sun light, so he just jumped out, spat on his hands, took three or four sommer- saults and began at onhee to hunt for sassafras roots and hens' mests. The charm was completed at noon, when Colonhel Ground Hog returned to the port- cullls of his domioile and remarked, My winter's snooze Is over.” 80, unless there is a slip In thé cog some- where, the winter Is over, At least there won't be “six weeks more winter." Nor is the ground hog alone the prophet of good omen.

He algo slipped into a number of drug stores and confectionery stores to see whether there were any cashlers, cigar clerks or waltresses at the soda fountains working after the prescribed hour. Later Mr. Maupin held a conference with Mrs. Draper S8mith, an inspector under the child labor law, and Mogy Bernstein, pro- bation officer. Their conference pertained to the employment of children. It Is in- timated that there are messenger boys and errand boys employed in Omaha who are less than i4 years old.
