INSPECTION LEGTSLA TlON IAfPERATIVB
That there will be national legisla-
ton for extending and perfecting in
spectioR of meat and meat products
and the places and processes of their
preparation so far as Interstate and
foreign commerce is concerned, is now
seen to be necessary and Inevitable.
Public sentiment is all one way on the
general proposition, and those who are
engaged in the slaughter and packing
industries profess willingness to have
larger and stricter regulations. OBJ
viously, the impression in the public
mind at home aDd abroad requires
such legislation as a purely business
necessity for rehabilitating and pre-
serving the market for our meats, if
for no other reason.
II is, of course. a legislative func-
ton, and the president. by his mes
sage transmitting the report of the
special investigators who examined
conditions at the Chicago packing
houses, has signally emphasized the re-
sponsibility of congress. This was
merely in addition to the fact that the
Beveridge bill for amplifed inspection
and regulation had passed the senate
as a rider to the sundry civil appropria-
ton and was already before the house.
The president. on the representations
in the report of his agents, simply
urges immediate legislation.
AS the case stands the Chicago pack
ing interests challenge the correctness
of many of those statements and OBJ
ject positively to some of the features
OF the pending Beveridge bill as un-
necessary, impractical, burdensome
and injurious to packing and related
industries, including especially live
stock. These interests, although they
are not the only ones to be consid-
cred, are of vast and vital importance,
and II will be agreed on all hands that
they are worthy of the serious atten-
ton which congress is disposed to give
to them in the preparation of meas
ure in line with the presidents rec
ommendation.
But there is no getting away from
the imperative necessity of evolving a
system of inspection so thorough and
comprehensive rs to set the public
mind at rest regarding that vast por-
ton Of the food supply which comes
through the packing houses. Under
existing conditions it is especially in
cumbent on the packing interests to
cooperate to this end, making 1t clear
to the world that they are pursuing no
Interior or merely obstructive pur-
pose. And in any event matters have
come to such a pass that congress
must settle the question at this session
If only to protect the meat and live
stock industries from further damage,

All reports. whether from friendly
or hostile sources. agree that the re-
cent Pennsylvania republican conve-
ton was of an unprecedented char
acter in that state, being free from ma
chine dictation and registering the de-
liberate judgment of the party at
large. In no state in the union has
boss autocracy gone to greater lengths
or more ruthlessly imposed upon the
people both tickets and platforms pre-
determined by those in control of party
organization.
1t is significant that Pennsylvania
newspapers. commenting on the con-
trasting conditions of this years CON
vention,, very generally declare that
those days are over. and point out
that in it's proceedings and results no
club was brandished. no delegate
driven against his will. no cut and
dried program rammed through. These
statements are strongly corroborated
by the result. for whatever may be
said as to the ticket, which Is of more
immediate local concern. there has
nowhere been expression of more pro-
gressive TeDublicanism than is con-
tanned in the Pennsylvania platform.
Though more elaborate than state
platforms usually are expected to be,
IL takes advanced ground on all vital
issues. evading and temporizing with
none, and is especially strong not
merely in general commentator of
the presidents policy. but in specific
approval of its salient points, with spe-
oial emphasis upon his attitude
towards public control Of great corpor-
ations and cognate questions.

Policy Outlined In Recent Decision
ny the President.
New York Tribune.

The vast irrigation projects OF the ma
tional government have given rise to legal
questions OF some intricacy, and the whole
subject OF water rights in the sparsely
watered regions OF the west is one OF
great importance. A recent decision made
by President Roosevelt in regard to the
respective claims OF the reclamation sery-
Ice and Of private enterprises is worthy
OF attention as indicating the policy to be
pursued in the future
One of the most extensive aud important
items OF the reclamation program has been
the execution Of the Kremmling reservoir
project involving the construction of
dam in Gore canyon of the Grand river,
Colorado, the water thus impounded to
be used for the irrigation OF lands in Cali
fornis and Arizona. 1900 miles away. The
canyon was reserved for reclamation pur-
poses after the enterprise ot David H.
Moffatt and associates for the building of
a railroad from Denver to Salt Lake City
had been launched The securing OF
right-cf-way through the canyon was not
absolutely essential to the success Of the
railroad building project but It was 50
important that the projectors have for
four years been fighting the governments
plans for reserving the canyon for recls-
there was no money available for the
building of the Kremmling reservoir and
no likelihood of obtaining any for several
years. Judge Hallett of the United States
circuit court decided that the Interior de-
partment had no good reason Tor with
holding its consent to the construction Of
a railroad through the canyon. Secretary
Hitchcock appealed from the decision. and
after listening to the arguments OF the
Colorado capitalists who are interested
in the railroad the president ordered the
appeal dismissed.
His grounds for such action are that
the development by the railroad OF a great
coal bearing district in Colorado is Of
more Importance than the irrigation OF
territory outside of that state. especially
since the irrigation project would have to
wait an INDEFINITE number of years for
even a beginning. whereas a considerable
part Of the work on the railroad has al
ready been done. In these great irriga-
ton projects, besides. consideration must
be had for jealouses between different
states At this distance. it seems as II
the citizens OF Colorado would have had
ground for complaint against the reclsma-
ton service II the original opposition TO
the building of the railroad through Gore
CANYON had been persisted in.

ANOTHER TRADE ExcrRslnN

The Commercial club is arranging
for another trade excursion to cover
for the most part Nebraska territory,
which looks exclusively to Omaha as
the commercial metropolis. The sue
cess of the projected excursion is. OF
course, assured in advance, but the de-
gree of success will depend more or
less upon the number of local jobbers
and manufacturers who participate
in it.
The trade excursion has become part
of the regular machinery Of our Com
mercial club for charging the sphere
of Omaha's business activity. Nothing
else has been found that so well serves
the purpose of keeping our captains of
commerce in close personal touch with
the demands of the territory to whose
patronage they cater.
The result of this cultivated friend
ship is seen in our gratifying industrial
statistics, indicating steadily increasing
sales, and in the unprecedented growth
of the jobbing business which has
forced a practical reconstruction OF
Omaha's wholesale district to provide
the necessary accommodations.
The tide OF our trade expansion,
however, has not reached its height,
but continues to swell. and one big
factor in the movement is conceded to
be the periodic trade excursions as
conducted under the auspices of the
club with growing popularity both here
at home and among our commercial
customers.

TIE SENATE AND THE CANAL


The prospect of dead-set between
the two branches of congress regard
ing the Panama canal is especially ex-
asperating at this time when the state
of affairs on the isthmus is becoming
critical. Nothing less can be foreshad-
owed by the threats reported from
Washington to attach in the senate
sea-level requirement to the bill car
rying the appropriation for canal work
for the ensuing year.
Until congress met no one dreamed
that the question of sea-level canal
would be seriously raised even in the
senate canal committee, and even after
1t had returned a majority report in
favor of that type the general belief
was that the senate would decide
against 1t. That belief now appears
to have been incorrect. Beyond ques-
ton the house stands with the admin
istration for a canal with locks. An
appropriation rider requiring a sea-
level canal could not. therefore. be
construed otherwise than as a direct
slap at the president and as originat-
ing in hostility to the successful pros
ecution of canal construction. It's first
effect would DO to precipitate an ardu-
Gus struggle between the house and
the senate.
Meantime the canal authorities are
reiterating their warnings that con-
gressional delay has gone as far as 1t
can go without bringing actual work
on the isthmus to a standstill. Sen
ators, before they push this matter to
the last extreme. should realize that
they will be held by the country to a
strict responsibility for the conse-
! quences.

It is hardly possible that the opposition to
Mr.. Rosewater can bring out candidate
who can make any Roadway against the

favor. It is therefore certainty that the
Rosewater candidacy lie a decided factor
