There will be meeting of the voters

Two of our milkmen who were last
week arrested and fined by order of the
State Board of Health for retailing tactical
fluid that by analytical test failed to show
70 per cent of solids, assert that they re-
tailed the milk just as they received it
from the producers. We suggest that the
State examiners give some attention to the
diaries, rather than devote all their ener-
gies to the retailers. 1t is undoubtly the
intention of the law to protest all interested
against imposition, certainly the inno-
cent should not suffer for the guilty, and it
seems to us unfair to make the retailer
s'hold the bag" We know it is a little
more trouble to examine dairy than a re-
tailer's wagon, but its the guilty the law is
after, and little extra effort should not
stand in way of placing responsibility where
it belongs Consumers are entitled to receive
pure, unadulterated milk. At the price in
Woodbury., s cents per quart, both producer
and retailer should be able to receive fair
compensation, and the person who will
either adulterate or preserve his product
should not only be heavily fined, but
be driven from business. Find the man
and the consumers will do the rest.
Cooper street improvement is COM
pleted and a splendid thorofare it is, but
there is one thing lacking in order that the
full value of the Improvement be enjoyed.
1t must be kept clean. As yet, we believe,
no provision has been made to this end.
The editor of the DEMOCRAT was boy
once and an apprentice to business in a
city of 5000 population, where the streets
were paved with eobble. The town had
not arrived at the dignity of street clean
ing department, yet the streets were always
clean and well kept, and without public
expense, and it was done in this wise. At
2 o'clock pm, each Friday every merchant
and dweller on the business street swept his
own front City carts came along at four
o'clock and carted the sweepings away. 1t
has occurred to us that it might not be be-
meath the dignity Of jewellers on Cooper St.
to show their appreciation of the improve
ment that has been made there by giving it
weekly cleaning before their own
doors. We are not sure that the first
thornuoh cleaning should not be done nv
