FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER q, 1905,
Secretary Wilson.

There is one Cabinet officer who
hasn't even dreamed Of taking a
vacation this summer, He is, more
over, the veteran of the Cabinet in
both age and length of service
James Wilson. Secretary of Agri-
culture. Secretary Wilson is i'm his
seventy-second year, and H. has
spent the summer months working
ten TO twelve hours a day getting
ready for the administration Of two
of the most important laws Of the
last session-the meat inspection
and pure food statutes.
While other and far younger men
were seeking the GOODNESS of noun
tain and seashore, the executive of
the Department of Agriculture was
clambering up and down the slip
perry steps OF odorous packing
plants, wrestling with the mag
mates of meat, fighting for the pub
lies right TO get honest food
The inspection law will go into
effect i'm another week. In its effect
alike on domestic and foreign trade
it is 10 be ranked second in import
ance only to the tariff law In TAX
ing the long step from the present
conditions 10 those which will pre-
vail under this~new law, it is abso-
luteIy necessary TO produce the
slightest possible shock to business
Grave injury might he done TO one
of the greatest interests of the
country by a little earelessness.
The situation is complicated by
the fact that three months later the
pure food law is TO become opera
tive. Fortunately, the administra-
tion of both these closely related
statutes is placed under the Sec
retary of Agriculture. In general
these two laws aim at the same
beneficial result-to give people
goNd and honest food They pro-
vide different methods, which must
he reconciIed.
1t would be difficult to imagine a
more strenuous. determined. vigor-
Gus array of interests" than those
with which Secretary Wilson has
been matching wits and resources
all summer. He is going to make
these two new laws mean all that
Congress intended them TO mean.
Their guarantees are TO be worth
the while. Discretion, where its ex-
ercise is vested in the administra-
tion of the law, is to be exercised
on the side of increased stringency
of regulation.
As a result Of the months of un-
eeasing work which the Secretary
and his lieutenants have devoted to
preparation in every detail for the
enforcement of the meat inspection
law, it is now practically assured
that the transition to new coudi-
tions viii be made with ease and
without any real interference with
business. For all this especial credit
VIII be due to Secretary Wilson. If
the work OF the great department
which he has built up is less spec
tacular than that of some other
Cabinet heads, it nevertheless di-
rectly affects more people, in a more
direct and intimate way, than prob
ably any other Government depart
ment save only the Postal

II is not expected that the junior

ot two Of his classmates besides him

No. only did the juniors beat out the
seniors sor the position OF assistant

thrown open 10 the whole school Two
years ago. but when the juniors can

the present senior class had been ap-
pointed 10 MI the position-another

Old Custom DisregaTded.
It has always been the custom at
Georgetown for the whole athletic as

does not seem unfair. as the different
teams are TO be made up OF candidates
from an classes, who may wish to be

of the executive committee who, in turn,
are the only members from their class
