Are the Packers Receiving Fair Play7

When the Garfield report on the
business methods of the packers APP
peared, after eight months investiga-
ton, it was siverely criticised and
roundly denounced. After three
months of publicity it is significant
that those who attempted to discredit
it have failed TO controvert the figures
contained in that exhaustive docu-
ment. The public is beginning to no
tice this omission, and the feeling is
rapidly. growing that the sensational
charges out Of which the Beef In
vestigation" arose were without foun-
Gation. If the official statements Of
the report are susceptible Of contra
diction, a good many people are now
asking why the facts and figures are
not furnished to contradict them.
The truth seems to be that most Of
the charges contain unfounded sensa-
tional assertions. A fragrant example
of this appeared in a recent article in
an Eastern magazine, to the effect
that forty Iowa banks were forced
to close their doors in 1904 by the
Beef Trusts manipulation of cattle
prices" Chief Clerk Cox, of the bank
ing department of the Iowa State Au-
ditor's Office, has tabulated the list Of
banks given in the magazine article
and has publicly denounced the state
ment as utterly untrue. He gives
separately the reasons for each fail
ure mentioned and officially states
that they have been caused by unwise
speculations and by reckless banking
methods. 1t may be we'll to suspend
judgment upon the packers until the
charges against them are proved.

GOVERNMENT LIGHT.
HISTORIC cHIcKAMAUGA PARK
ABLAZE WITH ILLUMINATION.
United States System Of Lighting Mill
tary Post Pronounced Gratifyingly
SuccessfuI-Six and One-Half Miles
of Mains-Sixty-Five Street Lights.

Chickamauga Park Ga, May 81
The United States government has here
in operation one Of the largest acety-
lene gas plants in the world. The mill
tary post at the entrance of the histor-
ical Chickamauga battlefield where
thirty thousand Union and Confederate
soldiers were lost in the memorable
battle OF Sept. 10 and 20, 1868, contains
about one hundred buildings, the
seventy-fve principal ones of which are
lighted with acetylene. To accom-
plish this six and one-half miles OF
mains and two miles of service pipes
are in use, while sixty-fve street
lamps brilliantly illuminate the ave-
nues of the post.
In 1903 the War Department in
stalled a test acetylene plant at Fort
Meyer, Virginia. The results were
so gratifying and the superiority
OF the illuminant so evident that the
government, March 20, 1904, placed
the contract for the Chickamauga
plant, in which every citizen of the
United States should have his pro
rata of pride.
But the government has not con-
fined its acceptance Of acetylene to
this military post. Since becoming
satisfied Of the efficiency, superiority
and economical advantages of this
particular illuminant, the United
States has installed a number OF
plants in Indian schools and other gov
eminent institutions.
Acetylene gas is one of the simplest
as well as the most perfect of artificial
lights. 1t is made by the contact
of water and carbide, Ca manufactured

wherein the farm home, the village
store, the town hall, the church-and
is so easily maintained as to
be practical for all classes.
II is matter for national congratu-
lation that in identifying so historic
a spot as Chickamauga, nothing but
the best, including the lighting sys-
TEN, has been deemed good enough
for the American people.
