NO NEED OF AN ATTORNEY.

Comrades are again reminded that
under the recent Age Order which has
become a law there is absolutely no
need of an attorney OF other agent in
and prosecuting their claims.
The age law Is absolute in its terms, and
merely requires that the applicant shall
have served 80 days and been honorably
discharged, a fact which is ascertained
by reference to the records, and that he
is now 62 years old or more. This lat
ter fact is esta bIished by his own asser-
ton, cOrroborated by the rolls of his
company. Consequently all that is nec-
essary is to make his application, CIV
ing his name. regiment, service and age
IL he will write directly to the Commits
sioner of Pensions he can obtain blanks
to fill out setting forth the essential par
ticulars, and thus save the fees which
an attorney or agent would exact from
him

MORE pACKERs, FoLLY.

Secretary wilson, of the Department
of AgricultaEe,s : has gone to Chicago.
with a staff fOf experts to personally in
stall the meat inspection system. He
expects to PVT from 800 to 500 Inspec-
tors at worfQ Within a few days, and as
fast as they cam be supplied by the Civil
Service Commission. The Secretary was
greatly disappointed at the attitude of
the packers. Instead Of welcoming the
inspection, as they had professed they
would. they were co1dly hostile and OBJ
structive. The. Secretary finally told
them that If they wanted another fight
they could have 1t, and that the Gov
ernment would give them all they want
ed before accepting anything short of
the most thorough inspection. and they
would get no labels on their goods until
they brought themselves up to the Gov
ernment standard. This attitude of the
packers is amazing. as ordinary business
sense would indicate the policy of the
packers making every effort to rehabili-
tate themselves in the eyes of the world.
1t was to be expected that they would
not only welcome the most rigid IN
spection, but make a most spectacular
show Of cleaning up. The Secretary
says that practically nothing has been
done In the way of improving the sani-
tary conditions

LOCAL MEAT INSPECTIONS.

The course advocated by The Nation
al Tribune of having local meat inspec-
tons and supervision of all meats Of
fered for sale is already adopted in
many localities. II Is the natural and
obvious way Of protecting the people
from danger from the cupidity and un-
scrupulousness Of the butchers and
packers. No inspection at the head
quarters can be is rigid and satisfac-
tory as that at the place of sale. The
head of the Indiana State Board of
Health last week caused the arrest of
some IL or more butchers in Indian
apolis for exposing for sale meats that
were unfit for public consumption, and
1t Is the intention to make an example
of them. Undoubtedly the inspection will
be made to reach every store and shop
in which meats are offered for sale in
any form. and the effect of this will be
in the highest degree beneficial. The
Superintendent of a number of State
charitable institutions in New Jersey
has refused to receive the meats deliv-
cred under contract by Armour & Co.,
and has notified them that in the future
everything must be up to the best stand
ard or it will be rejected and the firm
lose not only It's goods but the cost OF
carriage. Something of this kind should
be instituted at once in every city, town
and village in the country. Wherever
meats brought from abroad are offered
for sale they should be subjected to the
most rigid inspection by competent ply
sicians or other judges, and that which
! is found in any way unfit for consump-
ton should be ruthiessiy destroyed
| without reference to the loss upon those
who offered it for sale. These mus
| look to the men who shipped the goods
to them for reimbursement, and any
court will award them the full amount
| for any loss that they may sustain bs
the thoroughness of the local inspec-
! ton.

KING soLoMoN.s MINES.

For some years the public has been
reading some quite convincing books
and magazine articles to the effect that
the gold mines of ophir. mentioned in
the Bible. existed in Rhodesia, and that
the monuments there afforded indubita-
Bile evidence of this. We have been told
that there are ruins of great antiquity
which show the highest skill in con-
structioa. and leave it beyond doubt
that mining had been carried on sys-
tematically. scientifically and very ex-
tensively. A belief of this fact did not
rest solely upon such writings as Rider
Haggard's king Soiemon's Mines"
though undoubtedly his stories largely
helped to form this impression. Cecil
Rhodes sent out an explorer named
Bent, who was man of much energy
and talent for observation. but with no
special archaeological training. He wrote
book which seemed scientific and real
Iy learned. confirming the existence of
great gold-working plants. temples. etc.
and he brought back with him on his
return many relics found in a temple.

of nature worship. He was certain that
the builders were Sabian-Arabians. and
probably subjects OF the Queen of Sheba.
The British Association for the Ad-
vancement of Science has ruined all
these pleasant stories. In 1905 it sent
out Mr.. MacIver. an archeologist OF
high reputation. who spent year in
| careful examinations. He came to the
| conclusion that the so-called EllipticaI
Temple was simply Kafir kraaI, with
! the dwellings constructed of some sort
OF cement to insure permanency. and
built in rude ellipse about the summit
of Hill. He is quite sure that the
Arabs had nothing to do with them,
and that the earliest of them did not
belong to a period more remote than
the Middle Ages

EUROPEAN VIEW OF THE MEAT
SCANDAL.

Very naturally the meat scandals
in Europe, England being the country
most interested. The Germans DOM
mated by the selfish Agrarian interests,
point out that 1t Is just what they have
known all the time, and that they have
only been fighting to protect their peo-
pie from eating the terribly diseased.
unclean meats produced in America.
They have been especially hostile to the
introduction of all canned goods. or, as
they term them. "deviled" meats, so
that there has not been q very great
trade in these between that country
different. The English are by far the
largest buyers of American meats, both
canned and otherwise, and last year
bought approximately S5,oo9.000 of the
Chicago goods. The consumers of
these are roughly divided into two
classes, compulsory and voluntary. The
compulsory class include the army,
navy, prisoners in jails and the inmates
of charitable institutions. To the vol
untary class belong the working peo-
pie and a growing portion of the middle
class. who buy canned goods in order to
save the labor and expense of cooking.
The English papers are strongly 1auda-
tory Of President Roosevelt and his
course, and are sanguine that the re-
suit will be a guarantee that foreign
consumers of meats will get goods of
the best class, and precisely what they
are represented to be.
