PACKING HOUSE SCANDAL.
1t Is Creating Great Amount of
Interest.

Denver.-The report of bad condi-
tions in many of the great packing
houses has revived unpleasant memo
ries of the old "embalmed beef scan
dal and there is a general demand that
the whole subject be probed to the
bottom. A morning paper says:
mo matter what are the details of
the report on stock yards conditions
which report President Roosevelt is
said to have used as a lever to secure
the passage of the inspection legisla-
ton through the Senate-credit for
improved conditions in the meat indus
try in the future must remain with one
man. Mr.. Upton Sinclair, author of
The Jungle
president Roosevelt was one of the
first to read the book, and. with char
acteristic vigor, he marked many pas
sages and called upon two trusted lieu
tenants to investigate and make the
report which is now the center of so
much interest. No doubt this report
will be made public in full Indeed it
can not be kept secret in the face of
the insistent public demand that has
arisen. If it is as bad as indicated
by advance reports from Washington
the public will be only too glad to have
tne packing Interests indhe tnelr an
swe- AS matters stand, secrecy can
not be tolerated on either side. The
public must know the truth for it is
the public that is most vitality inter
ested."
In addition to what is said in the pa
pers, influential citizens are writing
and asking others to write to senators
and congressman requesting them to
secure the publication of the full re-
port of Commissioners Neil and Rey-
nolds. People want to know the facts
in the case.

HOW TO BUY GLOVES.
Try Glove to See If Elastic, and d
Fragrance Like Russia-Leather
Good Sign.

Many women buy their gloves
carelessly. They do not examine the
glove, and later find to their sorrow
that the glove that seemed pretty
and effective off the hand is badly
made and of poor material.
In selecting a pair of gloves, -
said glove saleswoman, "the best
plan is to test the kid by stretching
it. Take the side seams between the
thumbs and fingers and pull. If the
kid is soft and pliable, the pores
small, even and not specially notice
able and the glove Immediately takes
on it's original shape, it gives evil
dence of not only being elastic, and
therefore full of new life, but of be.
ing of a fairly good quality. The
heavy walking gloves can be tried
in tue same way, but as sure a
test as any is in smelling them, and
if there is a rather fragrant odor
like that of Russian leather, they,
too, should be all right. The stitch
ing in the seams should all be care
fully examined to see that it is per-
feet and that there are none sewed so
close to the edges that they will tear
out. If we'll made they should have
snail gore between each of the
fingers. Chicago News.

Ml!Itla for Jamestown celebratlon.

Washington. - President Roosevelt
has issued a proclamation inviting the
governors of states and territories to
participate at their own expense in
the jamestown celebration of the first
permanent settlement of English
speaking people on the western hemis
phere by sending such organizations
of the militia as in their judgment will
afford proper military representation.
The President says; "The historic ma
ture of this celebration renders 1t pc
culiarly appropriate that the represen-
tation of the militia should be
commensurate with the interests and
pride of our people in their citizen sol
diery, who have in the many ordeals
of our colonial and national life met
their military obligations with superb
self-sacrifice and devotion"

SOME VEGETABLE DISHES.
Vegetable Salads Very AppetizinE
This Time of Year-The Value
of Carrots.

| have lately noted an especially
dainty salad that looks very appetiz-
ing these spring days: Cook some
tips OF asparagus, some string beans
and a carrot, boiling each until quite
tender in salted water; have the
beans in Pinch lengths and cut into
slender strips; the asparagus stalks
may be used for soup, as only the ex-
treme tips are nice in this salad.
Chill couple OF tomatoes and some
of the small spring onions called
shallots; these must be carefully
peeled and then cut into inch lengths.
Place a leaf of lettuce on a salad
plate and lay the asparagus tips in a
little pile at one side, slice or two
of tomato and little heap of the
beans on the other; wash and cut a
couple of new radishes into rounds
and lay them in another small heap
next the beans. Serve very cold with
French dressing, and the salad will
be found delicious.
1t is a pity carrots are not better
liked; they are both cheap and whole
some, something that can not be said
of many eatables. They should not
be peeled, but well washed and
scraped; put on in boiling salted
water and cook until perfectly ten
der; but they should not cook to a
mushy condition. drain and they
may then be served whole in plain
white sauce, or be sliced lengthwise
and dipped in batter, then fried a
nice brown in very hot fat. Carrots
are excellent boiled, mashed, sea-
soned with plenty of butter and salt
and pepper, little milk added and
baked like mashed potatoes. They
flavor ioups and stews better than
any other vegetable and should be
used plentifully at this season.-St.

DEATH OF MICHAEL DAvI7r.
Great Irish Statesman and Patriot Dies
at Dublin.

Dublin.-A notable career closed
wednesday night when, after long
and painful illness, Michael Davitt
died peacefully and painlessly at II
o'clock in the presence of his eldest
son, Michael, and his two daughters,
who had devotedly attended him
through his illness, and of many of his
most intimate friends, including John
Dillon.
The greatest sympathy has been dis
played by all classes of society during
Mr.. Davitt's illness.
Death was due to blood poisoning
which followed two operations for ne
crosls of the jawbone, and spread so
rapidly that all efforts to stay it's
course were unavailing.
Davitt's chief claim to distinction
rests on the fact that he founded the
Irish Land League, the greatest agra
rian organization of modern times. AS
father of the Land league, he became
the popular idol of the Irish people,
He was noted as an orator.
In 1865 he became a member of the
Fenlan brotherhood, the result being
that ih 1870 he was sentenced to fif-
eSNAA SSol penal SeTNlCuQe. Alter
serving seven years of the sentence he
was released on a ticket of leave"
and two years later, supplied with
funds from the United States. he be-
gan an anti-landlord crusade in Ire
land, which ended in the formation of
the Irish Land League.
Shortly after the league was formed
he went to America to organize an aux
i iliary association. He was rearrested
shortly after his return in 1881 and
sent back to penal servitude, where he
remained little less than year For
seditious speech against the British
government he was again imprisoned,
this time for three months, in 1888.
He was first elected a member of
parliament while a prisoner in the
Portland convict house in 1882, but
was disqualified by special vote of
the House of Commons because he
had not completed his term. Again
elected in 1892 from Meath, he was
unseated by a petition.
The same year Davitt was returned
| unopposed by Cork, but was forced to
| resign in 1898, owing to bankruptcy
| arising from proceedings in the peti.
tion, which he had fought against as
long as ne was able to obtain funds.
! A few years later he set out on 4
| tour of Australia and the southern
British colonies. While travelling he
was informed of his return to the
| House of Commons, again unopposed
| from East Curry and South Mayo. He
| at once returned, serving continuously
becoming famous as the Irish leader
till 1899, when he resigned and went
| on a tour of the world
AS an author Michael Davitt is
known for his Leaves From a Prison
Diary" published in 1885; Defense
of the Land League" 1891, and THE
Boer Fight for Freedom" 1902.

MEAT INSPECTION BILL.
InGorsed by the President, Who Gives
~ Packers Warning.

Washington-An important confer
ence was held at the White House re-
garding the meat inspection amend
ment of Senator Beveridge of Indiana
to the agricultural appropriation bill.
The President discussed the ques-
ton with Senator Carter of Montana
and Professor Charles P Neill, com.
missioner of labor, who Investigated
certain packing houses and later talked
over the matter with Senator Bever-
idge.
At the conclusion of the conference
Senator Carter dictated the following
statement bearing upon the President s
attitude:
The meat inspection amendment
placed on the agricultural bill has met
with the opposition of the packers and
their friends who seem to be bending
every effort to defeat it. The Presi-
dent says that if the amendment is en-
acted into law he will be content to
remedy the evils complained of
through the law.
'If, however, the amendment is de-
feated he will feel constrained in the
discharge of his official duty to the
public to send to Congress the reports
in his possession relating to the abuses
existing in the packing houses. He
feels that it is better to refrain from
making the reports public, not through
any regard for the beef packers par
ticularly, but because an official state
ment of the facts would injure the
stock raisers of the country. thus max
ing them innocent victims of a line of
abuses for which they were not pri-
marly in any sense responsible.
THE only answer that can be made
to the consumers of our meats at home
and abroad will be the enactment of a
law through which an efficient and suf-
ficient inspection shall be made"
Senator Carter said that the packers
have asked for more time in which to
consider the amendment.
"One of the principal questions
which they are considering" he said,
"is whether they or the government
shall pay for the inspection service.
1t seems a foregone conclusion that
they will decide that Uncle Sam shall
pay for the work"
Senator Beveridge points out that
the expense will not exceed cents on
a carcass of beef and cents on car.
cass of hog. The aggregate of expense
will be probably S1,500,000 a year, II
will be so widely distributed that it
will not fall as a burden on the pack
ers.

HAS rHB MINORITY ANY RIourss

The Elk Point COURIER assumes
that the victorious party or faction In
the recent contest will proceed to
mercilessly and completely sQuelch the
minority machine, and further assumes
that this procedure will be grave
mistake, 1t goes further and assumes
that the process of squelching Is al
ready we'll under way and cites Union
and Clay counties as cases Ia point.
The writer is not familiar with condi
tiOns In Union county. 1t Is a matter OF
record in Clay county that the RepnbtG-
can led the fight against Mr.. Crawford
and Mr.. Gamble, in very conserva-
tive and honorable way to be sure, but
none the less did it assume TO be the
leader. At the recent convention Fri
DanfOrth. one of the biggest and best
boys in the ranks OF South Dakota

floor of the convention aud was placed
on the delegation from that county.
This does not appear TO us like the
squelching process. If a man Is fair
and candid in the administration of
defeat he is surely entitled to credence

THE couRreR.s PLEA FoR HARMoNY.

The plan and plea for harmony
which we offered two weeks ago and
which the COURIER urged throughout
the campaign, namely, the reeiection
OF Elrod Gamble and Martin, all three,
wss made two weeks ago when 1t SEEM
ed probable that the two irst named
were sure of reelection. In substance
then it was q plea for the retention OF
Mr.. Martin In his present position, a
coneiliatory arrangement, surely, in the
lace OF the conceded reelection of the
other two. Newspapers like the Ver-
million Republican, which had not sup
not slow in seeing the fairness of this
proposition and were enthusiastic in
favor OF returning Mr.. Martin. But
with Gov Elrod and his friends in the
minority this surely is too much to ex-
pect, as the concession would all be on
one side. The Mitchell Republican
hardly puts it too strongly when 1t
says: "The insurgents went into the
fight TO clean up the organization and
don't you think for one moment that
they are going TO accord the stalwarts
anything out OF their victory. There
is no question but what South Dakota
would be better represented in the
house with Mr.. Martin there than any
other man who could be selected from
the Black Hills, but it would be case
OF suicide for the insurgents to even
think of it,
The Brookings Press, In commenting
on this proposition, brings up still
another matter. The Press says:
nThe COURIER did not sly what dis
position shall be made of Judge Camp
bell OF Aberdeen, who has developed
SO much strength as candidate for
congress to succeed Mr.. Martin that be
is afactor and one Of the principal ones
Ia the stalwart organization,
This phase OF the matter need now
scarcely be considered, the triumph of
Mr. Crawford making it impossible. Il
would have been a live question, how
ever, had Gov Elrod obtained control
,of the convention. The COURIER has
made favorable mention Of Judge Camp
bell's candidacy and although support
ing Mr.. Burke for reelection, would
have been entirely satisfied with Judge
CAmpbell had his friends been able to
bring his nomination about. Inasmucb
as Judge Campbell was satisfactory TO
the insurgents two years ago, itWould
BE- a handsome thing even at this
stage Of the proceedings to select Judge
Campbell In preference TO any Black
