DOGS HOWL, THE NE|GHBoRs GUS
Fad of Mrs. Amelia Bertch Lands Hel
In Court On Charge Of Main
tanning Nuisance.

Mrs Amelia Bertch, a Russian wash
erwoman living near West Chestnut
street, will be up before Judge Huff
man tomorrow afternoon on a charge
of maintaining a nuisance. The afore-
said nuisance, according to Mrs.
plant, consists of an ill-assorted pack
of dogs that she has surrounded her
self with.
Mrs. Bertsch the neighbors say,
dotes on dogs and in chasing her fad
has accumulated a score or more of
ours that gambol about the streets, in
the neighbors' yards and make night
tedious by their howls Patience had
ceased to be virtue and this morn
ing some fourteen of the neighbors
signed a petition to have Mrs. Bertchs'
prize lot of dogs declared a nuisance.
The petition was presented to
Mounted Policeman Rolf who received
it with trembling and fear A year or
so ago Mrs. Bertch was living in West
Main, and neighbors complained of
her dogs. officer Rolf was appointed to
cisit the woman's house to investi-
gate the affair. His interview ended in
the officer fleeing up town to escape
from the tongue flashing that the angry
woman started in to give him the
minute he mentioned the object of his
visit.
Up to 3 o'clock this afternoon officer
Rolf had not screwed his courage up
to a point where he dared to serve the
warrant on Mrs Bertch.

Cut and Come Again.

A Quaker in taking his usual walk
before dinner CHANGED to meet with
friend whom he had not seen Tor
long time, and, after hearty shake OF
the hand and little friendly CONVEX
sation, he asked the friend In the usuai
mode to go home with him, saying:
Friend. wilt thou 60 and stick thy
fork in my pudding today"
The friend replied in the affirmative
Thank thee, neighbor, will" And SO
the two Quakers trudged Of home 10
gether.
In consequence Of the friend being
just off journey and good trencher-
man also, he stuck his fork not only III
his pudding, but in his meat as Well
and, having passed his plate so many
times and being almost ashamed 10 do
SO again without making an excuse
said:
"Neighbor. according to custom
cuts and comes again"
"Well. friend" replied the Quaker,
"thou shalt cut as long as thou thiilA
proper, now thou best here, but" looh-
ing him straight in the face, come
again thou never shalt Mall

strongly that the proper procedure is
to exclude Smoot on the ground that
the acts which made him ineligible
were committed before he was elected
and that therefore he was never en-
titled to sit in the senate This would
create a sort of comic-opera situation.
The man Smoot has undoubtedly been
bodily in the senate. He has cast
and had counted votes on the most
important legislative measures, yet.
constructively he has never been a
senator. The most logical course, to
be sure, is to recognize the fact that
Smoot is a senator, but that the senate
having discovered some things about
pels him. The vital objection to this
course on the part of those who are
earnestly in favor of disposing of the
apostle is that it takes a thirds
vote Of the senate, which very prob
ably could not be had The Smoot
case therefore presents some constitu-
tional difficulties similar to those of
broad and narrow court review with
which the senate recently had a pa
thetic struggle in full view of the
country.

BASED UPON IDLE GOSSIP.

The little evening dodger claims to
have absolute proof of it's charge that
the Statesman borrowed $4,000 from
the First National Bank 1t says it's
informant got the information directly
from A. R. Burford, cashier of the
bank. Then its informant is an I'M
qualified liar, who is merely imposing
credulity and readiness to jump to
positive conclusions based upon mere
rumor and gossip. 1t takes very lit
tie to satisfy the erratic editors con-
ceptiOn of absolute proof. He has
threatened ever since he started his
little dOdger to make dreadful ex-
posures of political corruption as
shown by private letters received from
his former pals, but so far he has not
published one iota of proof to sub
stantiate his wholesale charges of
graft and crookedness When he
turned states evidence against his for
mer confreres the public expected him
to make a clean breast of all he knew.
but so far he has done nothing more
than to make threats and charges I'M
supported by proof. His charge
against the Statesman is based upon
mere hearsay, and he is challenged to
show that it is anything else.

AN INFORMAL
AFFAIR

The CLANS were just being uncov-
cred. and mingled odor of seaweed,
potatoes and other things cooking bus
ily away was borne deliciOusly on
the breeze. Little Mile. de Saint
Cyr looked about her. The long table
spread under the trees was covered
with a white cloth and piled with
dishes. Overhead the leaves rustled
freshly, and out beyond the sound.
all blue and gold in the sunset light,
rippled and splashed upon great gray
rocks where the fire curled away into
a wide feather of smoke.
The French girl drew a quick breath
of appreciation. How beautiful Amer
lea was! 1t was her first visit to the
United States. and on landing in
New York Mile. de Saint Cyr had
come directly to her aunt's place on
the Connecticut shore. She was a
young aunt, only a few years older
than Aline, and with a young and
Jolly husband. Aline found herself
caught at once into round OF gay out
door life, a round which bewildered,
yet charmed.
Owing to a breakdown Of the motor
car, they had been bit late in arriv-
ing at the clambake. The guests were
already seated, and Mrs. Redvers. the
hostess, made a hasty introduction of
the newcomers. She had ratified
through a confusing number Of names,
then pointed to some grimy, collarless
young men bending over the fire.
"And those are the cooks and wait
ers," she cried merrily.
Mile. de Saint Cyr eyed them curl
ously as they brought over to the table
great platters heaped with steaming
clans. She never before had seen such
untidy walters. Everything at her
aunt's had been conventional enough.
Here at last was America more as she
had pictured it to herself. A young

GOVERNMENTAL MEAT INSPEC-
TON.

The presidents recent message to
congress upon the meat inspection
question is direct 1t contains one
epigrammatic statement which prob
ably covers the whole issue. Govern
ment inspection, he declares, to be
efficient, must be from 'hoof to can"
Under the present inspection law the
government certifies that the animal
killed was in good condition at the
time of slaughter. On the basis Of
this endorsement the packers put la
bells upon their cans declaring that
their contents bear the stamp of gov
eminent approval. But the report Of
Messrs. Reynolds and Neill show that
the parts Of carcasses go through
dozens Of processes after the animal
is killed, and it is in these processes
that the abuses of cleanliness and de-
cency occur. What the president rec
will inspect, which will follow the ami
NAL from it's slaughter Until the last
posed Of Obviously this involves a
great deal of watchfulness and the
exercise by the federal government of
a close oversight of the packing houses,
the methods of work, cleanliness of
places and persons as well as the &C
tual examination of the food products
from time to time to determine their
fitness for human food.
The legislation specifically recon-
mended by the president is the Bev-
eridge amendment to the agricultural
bill.
The fight in congress will come upon
the acceptance of this amendment or
the substitution of the Wadsworth
measure from the house. There are
striking differences between the two.
The Beveridge bill says there shall
be" an inspection of all meats and
meat products prepared for interstate
commerce; the Wadsworth bill that
the secretary of agriculture at his
discretion may cause such examina-
ton and Inspection to be made. The
provisions of the Beveridge bill for
the examination of Strengthening es-
Establishments at all hours of the day
and night are omitted entirely from
the house bill. The provisions for the
condemnation of meat unfit for hu-
man food in the Beveridge bill are
much modified in the house substi-
tute.
1t is quite evident that the Beveridge
bill leaves nothing to guesswork, while
the house bill puts the slaughtering
and packing firms a good deal on their
| honor. If it is safe after having ex-
posed the disgraceful state of affairs
havior, then the Wadsworth bill will
answer. But for thorough work which
| leaves nothing to chance and nothing
to the good intentions of those inter-
eSted in sighting the inspection, the
Beveridge bill is better.
There is nothing in the evidence to
show that the packers have earned the
| right to be trusted.

French Canal company, $10,00O,000
went to the merry little republic of

propriations about $25, 100000 has been
provided for construction work. The

vision for $25,OOO,O00 more for the
work of building the canal. There is
stipulation in this bill that the
amount named shall be reimbursed to
the treasury through the sale of bonds
already authorized for canal purposes.
The evident intent of congress is to
throw the remaining burden of the
canal upon the future by paying for it
with interest bearing notes rather than
with cash.
