which is rotten to the core.

THE BEEF PACKERS VICTORY

Former United States Senator
Mason of Illinois charges that
Congressman Lorimer was instru-
mental in mutilating the meat
inspection bill in the interest OF
the BERT trust. In his character
istic speech he said:
ut was the influence of Lorimer
that took off the stamping and
dating of cans of preserved meats.
and charge that this was done
in violation of the common law of
decency.
He secured in the interest of
the packers, an amendment of the
bill whereby the marking is left
SO you cannot tell whether the
goods you are buying are FIVE
days or fifteen years old, and left
it SO if you have the temerity to
inquire what you are paying for
the packer can reply: Why, you
poor. dear American citizen, it's
none of your business
What were the other Repub-
lican congressman dong and why
did President Roosevelt sign the
bill when he declared that with
out the stamping of dates the pub
lie would not be protected and the
bill would be "very. very BAD?
1t must also be remembered that
the people have to pay for the
inspection amounting to about
100000 year and yet are not
protected by knowing whether
the inspection took place this
year or ten years ago. That is
also very, very bad.

We recommend perusal of the
following from him to the voters
of the Third District:
81 submit my claim to the
qualified electors of the Third
Railroad Commission District
upon the following expression of
views:
PLATFORM.
"The constitution of 1898 con-
templates that the domicile of
the railroad commissioners shall
be situated in the city of Baton
Rouge, that they shall establish
an office there, and dispatch bust
ness promptly.
"Article 2S3 of the constitution
of 1898, reads as follows:
i" sThe commission shall meet
and open an Office and have its
domicile at Baton Rouge; and
may meet and hold regular or
special hearings ut such other
places as they may find necessary
"Act No. So of 1902, page 134,
reads:
" 'For travelling expenses of
commissioners and secretary when
necessary to leave Baton Rouge
on public business, and not other
wise, for Office expenses for the
year ending June Both, 1907. one
thousand dollars, the same for
19OS.'
The language of these Acts
must be construed in conjunction
with the constitution creating
this commission, and when so
construed, leads to the irresisti-
BILE conclusion that the board of
railroad commissioners should
reside in the city of Baton Rouge,
have regular hours and keep its
Offices constantly open for the
transaction of business as other
public state officials do.
eff | am elected To this posi-
ton, | shall move to Baton Rouge
and give the Office my entire
time and attention.
1.-The salary of the commas
sioner, per se.' is not large, yet
it is equal to the highest paid any
of the district judges of our state,
from whom is required their en-
tire time and talent.
"The Third District has elected
its commissioner for eight years
past from the parish of Caddo.
/ believe 1t is good policy and to
the general interest of our people,
that this officer should be selected
from different sec
tions of our district. 1t seems
just, it seems Democratic. 1t
sounds like good business policy.
eff elected, my constant efforts
will be to build up our commits
sion to state of efficiency that
will meet the demands of our
progressive age, and fully protect
the rights of the people and
guard our legitimate commercial
territory from the unjust encrach
ment.
81 recognize the influence of
railroads and all common carriers.
in advancing and building up the
commercial and material interests
of our state; and their rights
before the commission should be
equal, but only equal, with those
of individuals.
eff elected, / shall endeavor to
hold with equal poise the scales
of justice, to the end that the
interest of all may be fully pro-
tected and the spirit and intent
of the law fully and impartially
met. j. j. MEREDITH"

to be the pastor of a local colored church.
appeared before Judge Mills in the Police
Court as witness today at the trial Of
his son. Norman Akers, upon an informa-
ton alleging that the young man stole from
his fathers house an overcoat valued at
$40 and q Bible valued at 81.
The father told Judge Minis that he had
done all in his power to help his son lead
better life but had failed to reform him.
The Boy had taken the overcoat and Bible
from the house. he said. and had made
way with them. He had determined. he
said. to have the boy taken into custody
and punished.
During the recital of his story Akers
seemed to be about to break down, but
shortly afterward braced up when he saw
that the boy seemingly took no interest in
the proceedings.
Judge Mills stated that the only course
left open to him would be to send the boy
to Jail in default of fine, the defendant
having entered plea Of guilty.
Detective Tyser. who made the arrest, in
formed the court that the overcoat had
been recovered. but that the Bible had not

that he had the coat at a pawnshop, but
denied any knowledge Of the Bible.

the alternative of thirty days in jail II

voice Is seldom heard on our rivers or the

edible frog of the south Of Europe (Rana
esculenta) is inferior in size and flavor to
our own bullfrog and is raised for the
market exactly as American farmers raise
chickens or ducks. Canadians have start

the island just above the railroad bridges
and the upper reaches OF the Chenango

Artillery Shipped to Cuba.

Although 1t could not be offlcialiy con-
-firmed. it is reported in New York that the
steamer Esperansa, which sailed for Cuba
from New York yesterday. carries in her
hold complete field battery of artillery,
consigned to the Cuban government. Capt
Luis More Of the Cuban artillery. who has
been in this country with his wife, on leave
of absence, was hurriedly recalled to Ha-
vana. and sailed yesterday by the Espe-
ransa. He caught the steamer only after
an exciting effort. being obliged to charter
tug, which overhaued the steamer down
the bay. The trip in the tug had been pre-
coded by an anxious train ride from Wash
ington and a drive at full speed in a cab to
the steamers pier. Among the other pas
sengers on the steamer was a son Of Gen
Jose Miguel Gomez, former governor of
Santa Clara province. and leader Of the lib
eral party, who is under arrest for COM

Elixir Of Youth.
,m the London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle.
In former times this years profusion Of
elder flowers would have been welcomed
not only by lovers of hedgerow beauty but
by those who desired to preserve their own
beauty and youth. According to the sew
enteenth century prescription the elder
flowers were to be gathered on midsummer
day, powdered and put into borage water.
which was to be drunk daily for a month,
the first thing in the morning and the last
thing at night. This was a much-prized
elixir Of youth. By common consent there
has always been something supernatural
about the elder tree. In Denmark 1t Is
protected by the elder mother without
whose leave 1t is dangerous to pluck the
flower. In Germany the hat should be
taken of to it. And in England 1t has been
variously considered the tree Of the cross
and the tree upon which Judas hanged
himself. to be treated with reverence or
fear accordingly

Aroostook Potatoes.
n the Boston Transcript

From the Boston transcript
The first carload Of Aroostook potatoes
for the season of 1905 was dispatched on
Saturday last, week earlier than the ini-
tial shipment Of 1905, which was on August
IS. The Aroostook farmers have been
greatly favored by the weather and they
confidently expect that this crop will be
record breaker. Aroostook happenings
are mo small potatoes" to the consumers
of the nation, for in that fertile region
of Maine in the season of 1905 there were
shipped 6.69i,071 bushels of potatoes. So
great are the output and the demand that
it is proposed to put on a line Of steamers
from Stockton Springs to supplement the
all-rail facilities for forwarding potatoes.
