OUR ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS,

The G o b e takes this opportunity to
thank its many friends, both in the news
paper world and out of 1t, for their COR
dial greeting to the new management. We
would take pleasure in printing few
columns of the comments of the press of
Minnesota, the Dakotas and other states:
If we felt-that the public were more in
terested in this character of matter than
the real news. but we refrain because
we do not wish the impression to get out
that anybody connected with The
o b e is suffering from swollen
caput. The bouquets that have been hand
ed US will be preserved among The
G. o b es archives. or in that immediate
neighborhood
The G o b e wishes especially to ex-
tend its hand to the advertisers of st.
Paul and Minneapolis. They increased
their advertising in this paper from Sun
day, March II, to Sunday, March 10, by
eighteen columns, and there is more to
follow. Now, every shoulder to the
wheel. and, with long pull and strong
pull let's push the great Northwest to
the forefront of prosperity.

PATRIOTISM WITH COMPLICATIONS

City directories twenty years hence will
present strange appearance, and all be-
cause of the popularity of Admiral George
Dewey. One has only to inquire of the
fond mothers of male heirs born since
May l. 1898, to find that So per cent of
them are putting the word Dewey some
where in their childrens names. Cen
orally the mother goes the limit by call
Smith, Keyser or what not. Others give
the child the first name Dewey with some
family name in the middle, and fewer
still make the middle name Dewey. One
St Paul mother, full of enthusiasm and
patriotism, didn't have a son she could
call Dewey, but she had a sweet little.
nameless daughter, and she met the oc-
casion in splendid fashion by calling her
May Dewey Partridge, the first name
being for the date of the battle.
1t will be seen at a glance that there are
the directory around about 1915 to 1919 that
complications both grave and mirthful
will result. For instance. there will be
Deweys by the dozen right in the same
family. Say there are 1913 Murrays in the
ST. Paul directory, and 80 of them are
called Dewey Murray Not all of them
will be, however, as five or six will per-
haps have c. or some other middle letter.
But look more closely at the plain fifteen
or SO Dewey Murrays Unless they are
careful to have their mail sent to their
street numbers, they will have troubles
to tell policemen at every corner Most
serious of all. they will be getting one
anothers love letters, and feuds, fights
and suicides galore will result. Let's
draw the curtain.

DODGNG THE ISSUE.

When was the beef-packing industry of
the United States placed in charge of the
war department? By whose authority
was 1t done if done at all? And if this
business is not under control of Secre-
tary Algers official administration, how
comes 1t that a purely war commission
has been delegated and authorized to
either advertise its products or blast its
commercial reputation by an adverse re-
port
Evidently the war department is usurp-
ing the rights and functions of the de-
partment of agriculture. The bureau of
animal industry, a branch of this latter
department, is under charge of Chief d.
Z. Salmon. Its report for 1898 was most
thorough and comprehensive. Therein
can be found all that is necessary to be
known of the packing business 1t Is an
unbiased, scientific and unprejudiced re-
port devoid of any advertising features
whatever
When it is considered that no charges
have been preferred by any one con-
nected with the army against the pack
ing industry, per Sc, but only against
some auxiliary rascals and conspirators.
it is difficult to understand why the war
department should so sedulously evade
the real issue, and seek to throw dust in
the peoples eyes by proceeding upon
illogical lines Charges were made that
army officials had conspired with army
contractors to dump on to the govern
ment large quantity of rotten beef
This is the whole case in a nutshell. The
logical inference would be that an honest
war department would seek to find out
who were the guilty parties, and fix the
responsibility where it properly belonged.
A voluminous report on present methods
Of packing American beef will not accom-
plish this result. The commission Sc
lected by the war department refuses to
join issue on the one vital point, who
bought bad meat for the soldiers to eat.
refuses to probe for facts favorable to an
Indictment of the guilty; but constitutes
itself branch of the bureau of animal
industry, and usurps it's functions, with
the added feature of becoming, for the
time being. advertising agents of the
meat packers. Such course is Illogical
and subversive of confidence in the com
mission
That there was tainted, unpalatable
and nauseating meat served as rations
to our soldiers has been fully substan-
tiated by competent testimony 1t was
the business Of the commission to ascer-
tain who is responsible for it. Present
conditions of the meat-packlng industry
of the Northwest have nothing to do with
the case. The beef investigating COM
mission is dodging the issue
