The Worthington advance. [volume] (Worthington, Minn.) 1874-1908, 1906-06-15


eight hours and inspecting cattle on
the killing beds as we'll as they
could do, this report was quite true.
But it did not touch the dreadfully
unsanitary conditions of the pack
ing horses themselves and the un-
speakable foul surroundings in which
the food OF the people was prepared.
The report, to the mind of the
President, showed either that the
officials there were grossly in
competent or criminally negligent
to let such a condition grow up
around them, making no report Of
it to the Department. The result
is that in all probability, there will
be thorough reorganization" Of the
whole Bureau Of Animal Industry
from the head down and that there
there will be a wholesale transfer
and many changes in the personnel
of the inspecting crops.
But while the subject is under
discussion, it is probable that at
tention will be called to another
matter and that is the conditions
under which cattle and animals of
all sorts are brought to the slaughter
pens of Chicago, Omaha, Kansas
City, New York, and all the other
packing centers. 1t has been urged
time and again by the Humane
Societies all over the country that
that the conditions under which
cattle are hauled to market is not
only a disgrace to humanity but
renders the food wholly unfit for
consumption. Cattle are hauled %
hours without food or water and
the cattle men have recently been
trying to get this time increased to
36 hours. It is quite possible that
supplementary legislation may be
asked for compelling the slaughter
of cattle before transportation and
giving the inspectors a chance to
work under better conditions and
do their work more thorouhly.
A very important conference
which will continue for weeks to
come has just been convened in the
State Department. It is the session
of the Consular Revision Board.
The board consists Of five of the
most prominent consuls in the
service from the Continent and from
Canada. They are charged with
the duty of going over the whole
subject Of consular reform, organic
ing a proper inspection service that
will really inspect instead of beng
the standing joke Of the State De-
partment. They will arrange for
better understanding and more
definitely fixed relations between
ambassadors and ministers
and will see what can be done to-
ward improving the consular SER
vice as a real fosterer of American
;rade.
Keen regret has been expressed
BY most naval officers over the
action of the Senate in cutting out
the provision for $4,000, 900
battleship. This monster was to be
The biggest and best fighting craft
in any navy Of the world, and was
to have the great English "Dread-
beaten to standstill. |
The House put in the appropria
ton for her construction all right,
but the Senate decided that it was
not only too expensive but that it |
was carrying too many eggs in one
basket.
IQere 1s one ray OF nope left for |
the naval experts, however, and
that is that Congress at the last
directed the Secretary of
the Navy to get plans of the vessel
prepared and submit them at the
next session in case Congress should
change it's mind in the meantime.
