PRESIDENT AND MEAT INSPECTION
Fair-minded men, representing both
the meat packing and the live stock
interests, who have conferred with
the president, express themselves sat
isled with his attitude on inspection.
He has made It clear that his sole
aim is to protect, not only the public
health. but those interests as WE'LL
and that he is proceeding with the ut
most caution. The withholding from
publication Of the reports Of special
agents assigned to make investigation
is best proof that no wanton injury
Of these important industries is to be
permitted.
II is conceded that for the most
part the process Of slaughter and prep
aration of meat and meat products is
cleanly and sanitary, but, on the other
hand. It has been urged that the sup
ply for domestic consumption is not
sufficiently safeguarded in some fea-
lures. There is no intention to do
anything extreme. sensational or un-
necessarily burdensome, but only to
strengthen the inspection law where
II is obviously weak.
1t seems to us that packers and live
stock growers have been needlessly
alarmed, although II was proper
enough that they should be attentively
heard for the final shaping of con-
gressional action. 1t is not unlikely
that the senate inspection rider to the
agricultural appropriation bill really
needs considerable modification. and
the president has shown his disposi-

IDYL OF FRIENDSHIP.
Friends of Railroad Man Smother Him
with Coal Stocks.


Friendship goes a long way said one
of the officials of the Pennsylvania rail-
road when asked the other day to account
for an accumulation of coal stocks thrust
on him by generous and open-handed coal
operators and promoters. According to
this Official. William Augustus Patton. GER
tain boyhood friends OF his interested in
coal properties could not sleep at nights
until they had assured themselves that he
too, should reap the fruits of their sa-
gacity and business enterprise. Out of the
depths of a dsinterested and romantic
affection they loaded him down with coal
securities valued at 100000. Among the
many sordd and depressing revelations OF
business greed and selfshness which have
come to light in recent investigations this
little idyl of steadfast loyalty and more
than fraternal devotion stands out in COM
forting relief 1t breathes the spirit of
those great and :, high-minded affections
which poets celebrate and which the litera-
lures OF ALI natiohd asnshrine. h"'
One Of the most touching Of Bible stories
is that which tells of the friendship OF
Jonathan and David. In David's lament
for his fallen comrade he declares: Thy
love to me was wonderful passing the
love of women" And Jonathan also gave
some practical ana material eVldenceS OF
affection, for the Book OF Samuel tells US
that the day the two young men first met
Jonathan stripped himself Of the robe
that was upon him and gave it to David.
and his garments, even to his sword and to
his bow and to his girdle." Times change.
but the spirit of romance survives. The
testimony given at Philadelphia last week
only brings the David and Jonathan legend
up TO date. II Jonathan, instead OF be-
ing a kings son and warrior, had been
promoting lumber enterprise in the for
ests OF Palestine, and David had been
traffic manager in the chief OK cart line
to the nearest market. we can well i'm
agine that the former instead of pressing
his military outfit on the latter might
have been prompted to convey TO him

has been demonstrated that the bur

Said the bee to the flower, "oh. lovliest one
To WOO you Is but a sweet dutyi
All, give me dear hope and your soft petalS
ope,
That / may feast, love- on your beauty.
I've flown all the day Ger bright gardens
and fields,
But none like you seen in my feetness;
I'll cling to you fast through the sunshine
and blast
II you yield to me only your sweetness"
The flower was young-just expanding its
bud
And the vows of the bee were like nectar;
She drank in sweet daze all his hattery's
praise,
For he had been first TO affect her.
So she opened her store OF fine fragrance
and sweets,
And the bee sucked its richest provision,
And when he had drained all the wealth It
contained
Flew away with laugh OF derision.
"Alasr sobbed the flower, thus left ana
forlorn,
Am 1 cheated OF riches and loverf
So soon has he fied and the same thing has
said
To other blooms over and over.
Take heed Of me, maids; ware the hatterer
wise:
To him your distress is but funny.
He swears to love you and his faith he
will prove,
But all he is after is honey!"

MICHAEL DAVITT.

The death Of Michael Davitt will be
genuinely regretted in this country,
where he was widely known. Many
of his countrymen at home will mourn
for him as for a hero who devoted his
life to righting their wrongs.
The son of an Irish peasant, Michael
Davitts earliest memories were Of the
suffering and hardship inflicted by the
land system. and the impression be-
came the determining fact in his life.
Eloquent, resolute, chivalrous and un-
compromising, he was recognized as a
leader while still a young man in the
ditions in Ireland. He shirked no
labor and faltered in no peril, and his
intense devotion and ardent temper
won for him the distinction of the
British governments persistent perse-
cution.
He was the founder Of the Irish
Land league, which in spite of every
obstacle, carried on the fierce and not
able agitation that paved the way at
last for partial amelioration of the
Irish land system and succeeded even
in materially affecting public opinion
in England itself. In the United States,
which he frequently visited to present
the cause that was near his heart, the
manliness, the sincerity and the
strength of his character made him a
host OF friends. He lived to see much
that he had fought for realized, and to
have assurance that far more would
be gained in the near future.

So far as the South Omaha meat
packing interests are concerned, they
have not been involved in any of the
charges of unsanitary conditions which
the proposed inspection law is intended
to counteract and apparently have
nothing to fear from the most rigid
inspection. Whatever measures may
be adopted, they will surely conform
to them, insisting only that nothing
be required of them that is not also
required of their competitors at other
meat packing points.

THE NEW AGRICULTURE BUILDING.

s The effort of house appropriations
committee to find fault with Secre-
tary Wilson in connection with the
construction of the new building for
the Department of Agriculture bears
evidence Of the same disposition that
has been too much manifested in con-
gress to cast discredit on the admins
tration.
It is not even disputed. but on the
contrary has been acknowledged, that
the plan of the building as it has been
constructed is the best that could have
been adopted. No question whatever
is raised that the structure was not
erected honestly and absolutely within
the limit of the appropriation. And
yet inquiry Is persistently made along
a line implying that somehow the ad-
ministration has exceeded it's author
ity.
The sole point that the interrogators
have been able to suggest is that the
administration so formed the plan that
additions to II could hereafter be
economically and conveniently made,
whereas nothing was said in the ap-
preparation act about such additional
buildings. II Is precisely the method
that has been followed by the govern
ment since It began erecting buildings
at Washington. and which on account
Of the growth of public business is
absolutely necessary. II was peculiarly
appropriate as to the housing OF the
Agricultural department. whose ex-
pansion has been so extraordinarily
rapid that already additional room is
imperatively required.
Instead of seeking hrst to create
n.olehill and then by fault finding to
magnify II into a mountain. the ad-
ministration should be commended by
congress. II anything is said. for the
wisdom and common sense exhibited
In the plan.

oHEApESrNG LAKE TRANSFORMATION

CHEAPENING LAKE TRANSPORTA TION.
Every producer and consumer
throughout the west is interested in
the improvements now being rapidly
introduced in ship building for naviga-
ton OF the great lakes. as well as in
all other means OF cheapening inland
water transportation. For several
years last past, size of ships has been
found to afford largest opportunity for
economy In carrying freight. and now
lake freighters are being laid down
on dimensions rivalling those of the
greatest ocean steamships. the purpose
being to reduce cost 10 the low limit
attained by salt water rates.
Whereas few years ago a length
of 500 feet was regarded as extraordi-
nary and the maximum for a lake ship

preaching completion and will be In
service this season, and a contract has
just been signed for a ship $40 feet

REDEEMING PLATFORM PLEDGES.

hbDDh4hA@Fo ria FOh4h FbEDUbo-
The local democratic organ attempts
to make wonderful capital out of the
adoption of a bunch of resolutions by
the city council looking to a series of
Investigations into the conditions un-
der which the franchised corporations
operate and the charges they exact
here and in other cities as the FIRST
step toward fulfilling the democratic
platform pledges to the people
II this is the first step the chances
are that the last step will not be taken
until after the term of Office upon
which the democratic mayor and coun-
Gil are just entering shall have ex-
pired. AS a matter of fact nearly all
the information which is contemplated
by these resolutions is easily accessible
IL not already at hand. What pur-
ported to be facts and figures as to rel
ative charges by the corporations in
Omaha and elsewhere were published
as part OF the campaign literature at
the recent contest. Is it possible these
figures are not to be relied on?
There are certain improvements that
Omaha ought to have at the hands of
its public service concerns and some
concessions in prices, which will doubt
less come in due course of time. The
democratic platform promised all these
and a whole lot more instanter, includ-
ing eventual municipal ownership of
about everything in sight. The sin
cerity of the municipal ownership
plank, however, can be readily gauged
by going back year or so to the sub
mission of the bonds for a municipal
lighting plant when the very demo-
Gratis who are now so profuse with their
promises hitched up with the electric
lighting company to help defeat the
proposition.
1t will be interesting to watch the
democratic city council dodge behind
investigations and side-step between
conference committees to make the
people believe they are trying desper-
ately to redeem their pledges without
doing anything the corporations are
not willing to have them do.

ness OF the the Pennsylvania railroad II
