A DAMAGING I.Ar

Our Federal system Of inspecting meat
products works admirably so far as ex-
ports are concerned, but it utterly fails 10
prevent condemned and diseased meat
from being sold 10 American consumers.
When meat is Inspected a tag is attached
which indicates its condition. II con-
nemned the meat cannot be shipped, be-
cause tag bearing good bill of health
is its passport 10 foreign countries, but
there is 40 law prohibiting the sale of the
sondemned meat 10 this country, and every
pound OF It findsits way TO American tables.
This damaging sale is clearly not the
fault OF the bureau Of animal Industry, but
is due to the rascality Of slaughter house
keepers and the iuadequacy of the law to
prevent such an abuse. The law author
izes the bureau TO make the Inspection,
but neither provides funds nor power to
seize aud destroy the diseased meat 1t
is claimed that little condemned meat is
sold outside the State where it is slaugh-
tered. OF that fact, however, there is no
valid assurance.
For the better protection Of the Ameri-
can public, Congress should provide against
this wholesale danger 10 kfa aud health.

FORD THEATER VICTIMS.

For more than two years the clerks who
were manned in the Ford Theater disaster
have been waiting for Congress to keep its
promise respecting their reimbursement.
No amount OF money, of course, can com
pensate these men for fractured limbs or
shattered health, but they can at least be
made safe against want, when their con-
dition becomes such as 10 disable them
for future work
The curious argument has been advanced
in some quarters that because these men
now draw a salary from the government,
they have no equitable claim for compen-
cation on account Of injuries received
in the catastrophe. il is not TO be assumed
for moment tliat such proposition will
be given even a passing thought by the
Joint congressional committee appointed
60 adjadicate this matter. There is neither
rhyme nor reason init.
Tie committee in question has Just as
sembled in the room Of the Senate District
committee and it is to be hoped that its
conclusions may be fair TO all parties and
errived at promptly. The agony has been
quite long enough drawn out and a sense
of Justice would seem TO dictate the
epeediest possible discrimination.

The Times yesterday morning pub
lished an extract of a sermon delivered
Sunday evening by the Rev. Howard
Wilbur Ennis which reflected quite Sc
verely on the French ambassador, NJ. Pate
nOtre. This morning Mr.. Ennis emphat-
icauy disavows having made the statement,
over his own signature, and to be perfectly
Just and impartial The Times also pub
lishes a letter from Mr. Matthew Tighe,
who reported the sermon. Those who heard
the discourse are best fitted to judge which
of the two letters is correct. They are
silent witnesses Of both right and wrong
for the two signed statements fIatly con
tradict each other.
