A Writer Holds This Awful Organization
Responsible for the Spread
Of Cancer
And Also Says that It Is Guilty of
Spreading tuberculosis and
Other Diseases.

How do we know that sun,ciest m.
cautions are taken to prevent coofsa,s.
nation?
How do the trust gentlcmes knpvl
They inform us that what euss a
behind the walls Of their plants \
their own affair; that ID, their baDl-
ness: they will manage Il q they -

nation cats diseased meat, II ~ srs
poisoned by trlchinac, II cances 10
creases?
Other countries are not % duls .
we arc about these things. 0tAer
countries understand very we'll IL
monstrous perils involved In TIE melA-
ods Of this monopoly, and. theseCscA
try to exclude American meats.
To quiet their objections the Ussesl
States IL supposed to keep an insrsseoe
upon meat intended for export and D.
place upon It nm official stamp certify.
Ing that It is flt Tor food.
If. then, these are the methods ln

you suppose arc the methods abogt

Why are the laws lpcrt against tsss

Ing a Avc-dollar check and these nss

Why do We contribute our doilan
year after year to swell Unnecessary
hOnrtls?
Why are we content to have ssf
food prepared for US In secret uaAee
conditions that to any sane misd O.
taInly suggest fraud and trcachesyS
We are not obliged to have the9
things II we do not want them. II
remedies arc simple enough.
As to the "lumpy Jaw" the tshessu-
losis and the cancer, put stop n psi-

State In the light Of day, without auy
OF this dark lantern business, ou sQual
terms for all. There are very Gsv
private slaughter houses In England.
The cities nnd towns run their siaugA-
ter houses under medical iuHecti0u.
But In England the people do not eass
to be poisoned In their meat
And we need not worry about toe e.
lection that publicly owned slaughne
houses IRE an invasion Of the priysta
rights Of business. When Il comss q
life and death there are no privass
rights Of business. No man hsa riste
to saved profits that he n,akes bg

far Oh the road to public sanltxtioa -
turn back bcause some gentiemaUs
profits IRE threatened. The STATE WIN
not allow you to 20 around with small
pox or to conceal scarlet fever In youe
house, although each may be strietlS
your own affair. Compared with can
Ger. smallpox and scarlet fever sss
nothing. II the State can take radical
measures to stamp out cholera Il en-
take radical measures to stamp OUT
