STRUGGLING WITH
MEAT INSPECTION
House Committee on Agricul-
ture Has Tackled Big
Problem.
ST. JOSEPH PACKERS ARE
ALARMED AT OUTLOOK
Deny That Any Objectionable
Conditions Can Be Found
With Them.

WASHINGTON June l1.-For three
culture devoted itself TO the prepara-
ton of a meat inspection amendment
TO the agricultural appropriation bill
The first two paragraphs Of the ReVe-
ridge amendment were gone over and
one or two minor amendments relating
TO the verbiage had been agreed upon.
The statement OF the cattlemen at the
hearings last week. that the President
would have 10 be suited in any bill
which is passed. is being observed by
the committee, and II is understood
that he was in communication with the
committee room during the considera-
ton today.
Texas Is In the Game.
The committee looks with favor. 1t is
said, on several OF the suggestions
made by Mr. Cowan of the Texas
Cattle Raisers' association in the hear
ing last week and submitted TO the
committee In writing today.
The consideration OF the amendment
was interrupted during the afternoon
session OF the committee. that delega-
ton representing the business interests
Of St. Joseph, Mo. might be heard In
presenting their demand for speedy
legislative action.
Packers Are Alarmed.
The delegation was headed by Louis
T Golden who declared the situation
at St. Joseph to be serious under the
existing conditions. He said there were
three packing houses there. doing
nf S3O 600 MpOs that
the criticism of bad sanitary conditions
did not apply TO the modern plants at
ST Joseph; that the sanitary regula-
tIons we're strictly enforced and the
most scientific appliances used
Injury Is Increasing.
The business was being injured, and
the injury was increasing daily. This
statement Will be made TO President
Roosevelt by the delegation tomorrow
morning.
The Agricultural committee ques-
toned the delegation closely on the
problem as to who should bear the cost
of lnspectinon The answer was that
ns the packers of st. Joseph were not
transgressors against sanitary rules, II
seemed hardly fair that an additional
tax should be imposed on them. par
ticularly in the face OF great injury
done to their business by the pubnshed
reports discrediting the American meat
product.
Hold Executive Session.
The delegation was heard by the
Agricultural committee In executive
session, and they left for consideration
a detailed report OF local committee
OF ST. Joseph citizens who had made
recent and careful investigation of the
packing houses in that city. After the
hearing the committee resumed consid-

OUR WORST ENEMIES.

1t is apparent to our mind that
the worst enemies of our race at
the present time are mean white
and bad Negroes. The one class
charges us with all of the crimes
in the decalogue and the other
class is steadily in the business of
proving these charges to be true,
while the great mass of our people
are striving to improve their con-
dition educationally, religiously,
morally, industrially, and financial
ly. For this reason, it is absolute
ly essential that we be more polite
and more obliging to the better
class of white people. Strive to
win their friendship and merit
their approval. They will then do
much to defend us against the un-
just iniputatious of their own peo-
pie q Is agrayating nlisiepresen-
tations of us will increase Just as
we advance along all lines and
amass wealth and acquire property.
If we get the substance, we can
afford to pay no attention to the
shadow. Early settlers in this
country had to risk the hardships
of Indian warfare and we should
be content to braye the dangers of
race prejudice. The United States
is the garden spot of the world for
financial progress at this time.
Foreigners are reaping a harvest
and the Afro American will be
blind indeed should he fail to make
the most of his opportunities. A
rolling stone gathers no moss and
a wondering mind no strength.
Let us outwit the Negro hating
white man and secure the support
of the justice loving white folks at
all hazards.-Planet.

the ploughman, being of all be-
ings, who in the pride of society
is very apt to be regarded by some
not merely as of little or of no con-

Many of the ablest minds that
have ruled and controlled the des-

have changed the course of human
events and have made themselves
distinguished and great by the per-
formance of deeds which have rem
dered their names imperishable in
the memory of their fellow men

of the farm. Such were Cincina-

FARMERS MEET IN AFRICA

Liberia, July 10.-Today the
first Farmers Alliance Convention
ever called in the history of Liber-
ia, met at Clay-Ashland, in the
town hall, under the most promis-
ing circumstances. One hundred
and ten delegates were present
from the several farming districts
of Montserrado County, and a more
representative body of men have
not assembled since the day of our
independence was declared, July
26, 1S47.
President Barclay and United
States Consular Ernest Lyons adj
dressed the delegates and pointed
out not only the necessity but the
great and noble results which cap
ital, labor and to the people gener-
ally may reap from the farming
industry DR. Lyons said in part:
The farm has always occupied an
important place in the history of
human society In fact, the farm
is indispensable, not only to the
existence of the State, but to the
individual himself, who is in every
sense the miniature State. What
would Liberia be today, and for
that matter-what would any coun-
try or government be, great or
small without the farm and the
farmer? Eliminate from the econ
omy of the State the farm and the
farmer and what will you have left
to Liberia? The lines of Holmes
are not only appropriate but highly
suggestive in his description OF
