done more for the people of the north
west and North Dakota in particular
than the disruptionist leaders could
do in a thousand years If their past
records are any criterion for the fu-
ture.
1t will mean that North Dakota will
continue to hold her proud position as
the greatest republican state of the
union, her representatives ever ready
to take the leadership in legislation
which marks the evolution of the age.
1t will announce to the world that
the efforts of her representatives in
the securing of pure food laws. in rate
legislation, in reclaming an empire
from the desert as homes for the poor,
in caring for the interests of the peo-
pie of the state, and a hundred others
are approved by the masses of the
citizens.
1t is public recognition of those
great principles of equity. as old as
courts of justice, that he who comes
into court must come with clean
hands, and that he would have equity
must do equity. 1t is a regrettable
| fact that the fair name of the state
| has been sullied by the manner in
which those who have sought not only
the ruin of the republican party but of
the state as we'll, have conducted their
campaign. But the rebuke which will
be administered to those leaders by
the voters will show that the people
will forever insist on truth and hon
esty, and above all, on fair and hon
orable treatment to all men.
Let it be written in letters of blood
that there is always place in the
ranks of the republican party for the
man who differs from his political as
sociates and is honest and sincere in
his difference, and that against him
the thunder bolts of war have not been
hurled, but that the principles of the
republican party are as understandable
as time and as sacred as life, and
that he who attempts their ruin must
answer at the bar of public justice.

HERALD'S RIGHT TO

QUESTIONED
purge ThyseH First Com
munication From J. A.
Canniff.

Editor Evening Times. My atten-
ton having been called to several
articles which have appeared in the
Herald of late wherein. as chairman
of the republican county central COM
mittee, have been taken more or less
severely to task for having, according
to my best judgment, attempted to
safeguard the interests of the party in
this county, desire to say that while
l am ever open to advice, md court
the fullest criticism of my official acts,
when the same shall emanate from the
proper source. but neither as an in
dividual nor as the present head of the
republican county organization do I
recognize the right or the fitness of the
Herald-with the malodorous party
record which it has recently made,
as well as that of its present repre-
hensible course, which is fresh in my
mind--to essay the role of dictator or
criterion of my official acts
AS is but too we'll known, the Her.
aid at the present time and for sew
eral months past has been zealously
engaged in attempting to create dis
cord and discussions in the ranks of
the republican party, striving to poison
the minds of the members of that or
ganization, county and state, to the end
that the democratic aid society, the
self-styles Good Government League"
which is composed largely of dis
gruntled placemen, grating ex-office
holders and political freebooters-
might be the gamers thereby.
That the Herald has an undoubted
right, as newspaper, to criticise my
official acts, am free to admit, and
the same will be accepted for what It
is worth, but before 1t proceeds to die
tate to loyal members of the republic
can party it should first purge itself of
its traitorous political record, repent
and be forgiven; and as a further
guarantee of good faith 1t might un-
equivocally pledge itself to give
loyal support to the ticket which the
republican party shall place in nom
ination at jamestown next month.

conditions and in a slaughter house
atmosphere are the ones-and the
only ones-who have injured the stock
raising and meat producing interests
of this country.
1t is silly to expect that the people
of the United States, or of any part
of the world, will knowingly continue
to eat canned meats put up in slaugh-
ter house fashion. There is a general
prejudice everywhere in favor of hav-
ing food prepared in kitchens-in
kitchens that are light. we'll ventilated,
and so constructed as to hold no odors,
and also in favor of kitchen people
with clean hands, clean clothes and
clean habits. The Chicago packers
must transfer their kitchen business
to kitchens-and to good ones, too
if they wish to hold the market for
their goods.

much between candidates as between
parties and the principles for which
they stand. This will eliminate per-
sonalities-the bane of politics-and
put the campaign upon grounds of
high public policy.
The republican platform will de-
clare for continuance of official
scrutiny into the affairs of interstate
corporations with a view to bring
ing these gigantic concerns under
federal supervision in so far as may
be necessary to force the correction of
the abuses which they may have per-
mitted to go unchecked to the detri-
ment of the public welfare, and in
this respect will point to the policy of
Mr.. Roosevelt and the record of the
party in sustaining that policy. The

predict that an extra session of con-
gress will be called for next summer
to bring this about. This will put
the tariff question out of the presi-

much the democracy may wall about

take kindly to the brand of revision

that organization was originally made
to stand for in this state it has been
perverted in Richland county to an

And the man who has been selected
to direct the fight is cunning enough
to keep his own personality in the
background, and to direct it through
honest men who actually think they
are doing the cause of good govern

years has not hesitated to do anything
in his power to injure the senator is
entirely capable of lending his aid and

republicans but who have never he's

democratic candidates for the legisla-
ture when they saw they could do the

jury. In order to defeat this move
ment it is only necessary to support
the regular republican candidates at
the primary election for delegates to
the state convention.
The primary election law provides
that the delegates elected to the state
convention shall select the county
committee, which will have in charge
the ensuing campaign and have
charge of the party's affairs until
their successors are elected. If the
"insurgent" delegates are elected
there are enough enemies to Senator
McCumber in their list to reorganize
the party and name committee that
will be hostile to Senator McCumber's
interests. We do not believe the re-

knowingly do anything to assist in
the defeat of McCumber. but there is
danger of them unwittingly lending
his enemies laid and comfort"

PACKING HOUSE METHODS.

In discussing the recent packing
house disclosures the Hartford Cour-
ant says:
The packing house people at Chicago
have confused two things. This is the
source of their trouble and they are in
trouble-trouble of the miry and sticky
kind. They think that they are run
ming one business. In fact they are
conducting two businesses-or ought to
be. One of these businesses is the
killing of animals for food purposes
which is no better than killing animals
in order to kill them. except that
animals killed for food ought to be
healthy animals. and not too old; and
which. Furthermore. is not a sweet
smelling business. nor a gentle bust
ness, nor humane business. We do
not call it murder. mainly because
man must be fed-making our morals
hit our needs-and, further than this,
because the animals cannot speak, and
this inability of theirs to argue or
complain leaves us free to do as we
please with them. This business of
the meat packing people is slaughter
house business. The other business
is food business-the preparation of
things to eat-kitchen business. These
two businesses are not only far apart,
but they also ought to be far apart,
because one is bloody and filthy, and
cannot be made otherwise, while the
other is clean and savoury, and can
easily be made so and kept so. 1t
takes nerve for the ordinary man or
woman to go through slaughter
house; but with a sweet-smelling
kitchen the difficulty is to keep away
from it,
Now the main fact about this report
that President Roosevelt has sent to
congress is that the Chicago meat men
are conducting their kitchen business
on slaughter-house principles. Some of
them have places in other cities in
which they keep the two businesses
separate, but in Chicago the rule is to
run the two businesses together as
one. The same dirt-the same kind, if
not the Identical filth, the same
smeary clothes and the same unwash-
ed hands-runs through these Chicago
packing houses from the preliminary
act of killing to the eliminating act of
filling the cans and covering them with
reassuring labels.
There are not many men in this
land, and certainly not one woman.
who needs to be told that this is all
wrong. The sunshiny and spotless
kitchen is too well known in song
and story to need description. Most
people have pleasant memories
enough Of this kind to give them a
standard of judgement for this Chicago
practice. The packers try to pose in
their exculpatory reply as innocent
agents of the stock-growers, and saw
that the stock-growers will suffer
losses because the packers have been
meddled with. There is, unfortunate
ly, no doubt that the exposures of the
Chicago packing methods will pro-
duce loss; but it is silly to try to
charge this up to the exposure when
1T is clearly and wholly due to the
methods. There is not q stock grower
in the country who would permit his
own kitchen to be run on slaughter
house principles; and his own judy
ment on the facts will unquestionably
be that the men In Chicago who have
packed foods under slaughter house
