That Beef!

Gov. Teddy" Roosevelt has come forward
with the reasonably to bc-expected knock
out blow.
None save those civilians who fear every
thing that may by any possibility take on
partisan political shape, or those of the staff
Of the army, have from the-beginning seri-
ously questioned the claim that the beef
rations OF our army during the late war were
"uneatabe" Now that so prominent and
courageous a man as Gov. Roosevelt has
unqualifiedly condemned it and has gone so
far as to state that his official reports (made
as all officer of the volunteer army were
suppressed, it is abont time that the country
came TO Gen. Miles side OF the question and
unanimously demanded that those who are
responsible tor the accident or crookedness,
it matters little which, be called finally TO
account
We are in no position to be able to assert
that this rotten beef army ration resulted
from incompetencv, accident or rascality,
but no one doubts Armour's or Swift's thor
ough knowledge of the beef canning process,
hence 1t is asking too much when, so far as
they are concerned, accident is required to
account for the nauseous mess that oul army
was asked to accept as regulation ration.
What particular kind of canned beef was
contracted forr These great business houses,
Armour and Swift, did not furnish that beef
on any verbal or other indeterminate order,
so why, IN the inquiry now under way, have
not those original contracts been called for?
If the life-the essence-was to be first
extracted from the meat and the fibrine and
the glue boiled and canned, it is probable
that such specifications are to be found in
the contract: if they are not there and 1t is
proven that the edible and strengthening
constituents were first extracted and the
waste sold to the government, then make an
example of them. They are great, big peo-
pie, but even they are not in a position, as
regards the American people, to essay the
Tweed role, "what are you going to do about
it,"
If the Commissary Department made any
such contract, let everyone cognizant OF or
connected Herewith be courtmartialed and
broken; if the great packing house firms are
guilty, let 1t be SO proven and direct penalty
be laid: the people will lay one equally az
punitive, for no warm hearted patriot will
ever buy another can of their meat.
