MEAT INSPECTION
MIL Be ENFORCED
Secretary Wilson Says American
Meats Will Be Safest
In World
A STATEMENT ISSUED TODAY
Secretary of Agriculture Will Foreso
Vacation in Order to Put the Now
Meat inspection Law Into Force =
3 Believes 1t Will Be a Great Aid to
the Meat Industry.

Washington, July 2.--Secretary Will
son, of the department of agriculture,
has decided not to enter upon his an
nual vacation until he has completed
operation the new meat inspection law
He will give practically his entire time
to this work for the next two months.
The new pure food law also will re-
quire attention, but he intends to leave
this almost wholly to Dr. II. w. Wiley
chief of the bureau of chemistry. By
direction of the president, Secretary
Wilson today issued the following
statement:
lest in the world. The great ranges of
the west produce herds of cattle in
which the percentage of disease is re-
markably small, and the federal gov
ernment is steadily reducing by ap-
proved scientific methods this small
percentage. Inspection of animals be-
fore and at the time of slaughter has
always been thorough. 1t is true the
department of agriculture has hereto
fore lacked the power and money to
provide for efficient supervision, sani-
tation and methods of preparation of
canned meat food products. The legis-
lation which has just become effective,
provides the department of agriculture,
with adequate law and with ample
money to carry it into effect, and SUI
pervision and inspection be extended
from the pasture to the package The
federal stamp upon the can will be q
guarantee not only of the healthfuness
of the animal. but also that the product
was prepared in sanitary surroundings.
and with additions of no deleterious
chemical or preservative and any
meat food product bearing the govern
ment stamp will be fl for food.
With this law in operation 1t may
be accepted as fact that for health
fulness and purity of the prepared or
canned product will compare favoraby
with the freshmeats of the United
States, which is and always has been
the finest in the world The new law is
comprehensive and the means for it's
enforcement are ample. and it's execu-
ton will be thorough and the people at
home and abroad may use our meats in
confidence"

in London yesterday. aged a years. lie

Sir Wifrii Lawson was known thru

of temperance. He also gained great
renown for his stand against the house
of lords which he steadfastly de-
clared should be abolished His other

that standing armies should be dis
bandeS, and that the Church of Eng
land should be disestablished
Sir Walfrd. however made his name
familiar wherever the English language
is spoken thru his tremendous work
and influence for temperance. He in
herited his antipathy for rum from his
father, who was so opposed to intoXi-
cants that, at a time when to be a tee
totaler was to be "unpatrotic. ungen-
tlemanly and even unIChristian,' he
cleaned his cellars of liquor and poured
it into a neighborng pond. The elder
baronet also had strong ideas on edu-
cational matters and refused to send
his children to school.

NO FEAR OF CHINESE BOYCOTT.
Postponement Of Action on Moderate
Exclusion Law Sop to Labor.

Exclusion Law Sop TO Labor.
Washington, July 2.-Altho congress
has failed to moderate the Chinese ex-
clusion laws, no revival Of the boycott
of American goods in China is expected.
The boycott was suspended by the Chi
nese guilds In the expectation that
congress would ratify a new treaty as
to Chinese immigration.
Entrance into politics of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor prevented
many members from pressing for a.
ton. The Pacific coast delegation is
against more liberal exclusion laws, and
rather than risk defeat the managers
of the bill thought it was better to let
the question go over until the next ses-
sion.
For congress to have defeated more
liberal Chinese exclusion law would
have been signal in China for the
resumption of the boycott in even more
extensive form and with greater dis
aster to American commerce than ever
before, while simply to defer action.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Mones. July 2.-When Con-
gressman Hull gets home from Wash
ington 1t is expected that the Des
Moines post office fight will break out
in great shape large class of poll
ticians are looking on with great In
terest as they are anti-Hull from the
start to the finish and have no voice
whatever in the matter. They are
keeping track of the situation and see
nothing but trouble for Hull from the
time he hits town till he gets the post
office fight settled. The fight is one
between the friends OF j. l. Meyerly
and the friends of I. M. Leiser. Lei
ser's friends are from the Wilcox
camp They are politicians of the I'm
iversity Place sort who have been ar
dent friends and supporters of Capt.
John A. r. Hull, but who could see no
reason that was legitimate for Hull to
sacrifice his political life in a fight in
Polk county this year when he could
have the nomination by acclamation
by staying out of the fight in this coun-
ty. The friends of Meyerly are Lafe
Young, James G.. Berryhill, and Ed
Hunter, who have no love whatever
for Hull except they can use him to
fight Cummins in the interests Of th.,
corporations whose servants they are.
The question in the postoffice fight is
which of these classes of supporters
of Hull will have the most influence
with him. John Mckay, the present
postmaster, is candidate but in Des
Moines it is considered that his candi-
dacy does not count for much as Hull
would not reappoint him unless some
unforeseen contingency arose that
would make it impossible to appoint
anyone else.
