Governor Roosevelt yesterday added his testi-
mOny TO the overwhelming mass Of evidence
before the Court Of Inquiry showing that the
canned roast beef. called. absolutely
unfit for human food 1t is the same story
everywhere. In every city where the Court
goes officers and men unite in saying that the
beef made them i'll. And the more that is
learned about the process Of its canning the
more indignant people become that their sons
and brothers fighting for their county should
have been compelled to eat the culed bcevcs
of the packing houses put up by a process
which removed much of the beef essence that
made the meat palatable and even nourShing
Governor Roosevelt says the beef made the
men repeatedly III. II was not only my own
experience, but the experience Of the men

This would be startling indeed If II were rot

In view Of all this evidence II is Interesting
10 recall how General Beaver and his colleagues

posed Of" this question. Any review Of their
report in comparison with the facts since de-

those who were charged with being enemies Of
the packing industry and fomenters Of discord
in the Army because they would not accept the
verdict Of that Commission final judgment
on the case The Commission not so con

animation or authoritative report and, as we
pointed out when II was trying 10 10 so. the

unc's Toronto correspondent. the changes a"'

cd or chosen for a limited term OF years anu
that when the two Houses Of Parliament as
aqroo upon a measure the Governor-Generai
may convene iolnt session. at which ma
ioritv vote Of all present shall be decisive.
This matter of reforming the Senate became
. cuostlon of practlcal politics in 1872, when
the Liberal party. then out Of Office pledged
,teo,f substantially to the changes outlined now
that the party is in power. That the lAhoralS
should manifest an earnest desire 10 keep 'h'Ir
nromISc in this respect is not SURPRISING coH-
slderinc the fact that the Senate Is ovcrwhclm-
Inolv Conservative and as such stumbling
hlocl, in the way Of every Liberal Government.
An illustration Of this was given last session
when the Senate rejected three important meas
urcs passed by the House OF commons a' 'h'
instance of the Liberal leaders.
