who raises hog, 9 sheep Or a steer
for market Without the foreign
market created by the packing in
dastry the American live stock

stripped Of profit The up-to-
date live stock grower knows this.
One Fact Emphasized.
Right here We desire to. emphasize
zone TACT as evidence OF our good
faith in trying 70 get the best pos
.lble results. When Investigation by
Messrs. Neill and Reynolds was un-
dertaken we assumed that its pur-
poe was to forward improvement in
packing house conditions ii inn
provements could be devised rather
than to-gather ammunition for an
attack upon the entire live stock and
meat producing industry. Acting
upon that belief, We then. weeks ago.
authorized our representative to M
vite, and ne did invite, from these
investigations and from the president
any practical suggestions they could
make for the improvement of pack
ing house conditions, and we guar
anteed that their suggestions would
be carried out.
There never has been any secret
about our methods of manufacture.
For thirty years the packing houses
of Chicago have been wide open to
the world. They have been among
the great show places Of this country
Thousands Of visitors pass through
them every day. There are no clos
ed doors. Inspection Of every cor
ner of them has been invited and
cheerfully encouraged. { Literally
millions Of people, Representatives OF
medical societies, educational insti-
tutions, business associations, foreign
governments and the general public
have inspected every process of meat
handling carried on in these pack
ing houses. We have taken pride in
showing our methods to the, world
because we knew the showing would
reflect credit upon us, upon our pro-
ducts and upon American enterprise.
AND as, theCiyorld7 become more:
acquainted with packing houses the
demand for their products has. stead
lily increased.
Inspection Is Rigid.
Since government inspection was
first lnaugurated inspectors have
been installed in all OF our plants
and have had access to every part OF
those plants. They have always
been free to criticize and suggest and
we can say in all truth that every
practical change OF method suggest
ed by them has been Immediately
put into effect. We have gone be-
yond that and for some time have
had in our employ one of the fore
most veterinarians in the United
States, who for many years. had
charge of government inspection in
Chicago, to give us the benefit Of his
skill and experience in safeguard
ing the wholesomeness Of food ma
terials passing through our packing
houses.
The testimony Of results is all in
our favor. Chicago packing hause
products have. won their way by
merit in every quarter of the earth.

Veteran Editor of the Pioneer Press Passes Away
After Long and Distinguished Career:

Joseph A. Wheelock, the veteran ed
itor Of the Pioneer Press, whose per-
sonality as newspaper writer was the
most prominent in the country west Of
the Mississippi, died early today at his
home in St.. Paul.
Fatigue from the long journey from
California, where he went to seek re-
lief from asthma, is ascribed as the i'm
mediate cause Of his death. He was IS
years of age, and for more than fifty
years had been an active newspaper
writer, having been the editorial head
of the Pioneer Press for nearly all that
time. He was one Of the few old-time
editors whose personality IN recent
years has been identified with his work
in the public mind.
His health for some 4times had been
failing 70 an extent that has somewhat
crippled his energies, especially Of late,
but his death at this time was not ex-
peeted and comes in the nature of a
shock to those who knew him person
ally.
In former political campaigns he was
a conspicuous figure thru his radical
editorial writings, which in the pioneer
days of the state had an influence that
was respected and feared. His reputa
tion was national and he will have q
place in memory with such editors as
Greeley, Bennett, Dana and Bowles
with whom he was contemporaneous.
Joseph A. Wheelock was maker OF
history, and yet it is difficult to find

LOBBY WARS ON
THE ALCOHOL BILL
Foes Work Hard to Kill Legisla
ton, but Measure Friends
Have Little Fear.
By w. w. Jermane.

Washington, May 9.-Ihe wood alco-
hol lobby has reached Washington in
force and is frantically working to Sc
cure amendments to the free alcohol
bill> which will prevent the farmers
from benefting by the legislation for
long time. ..,....
Soon after their arrival, the wood
alcohol people became convinced that
there was no nope Of defeating Jegisla-
ton and they began Immediately to
suggest amendments. One was to have
the law go into operation year after
it's passage, instead Of three months
thereafter, as provided in the house
bill. A second proposition on which
they are working is to have tax i'm
posed on the denaturessA product.
The latter proposition is one advo-
Gated by Secretary Shaw at the be-
ginning Of agitation, but which has
been lost sight of and apparently aban-
doned since then. 1t is one thing which
the friends of the bill say they. will
not accept and which they say will be
refused by the house conferecs if the
senate should adopt it. s..
The wood alcohol lobbyists are also
seeking to delay the bill in its prog
ress toward adoption by having un-
limited hearings. Friends of the meas
ure in the committee on finance, how
ever, say they will be able to prevent
prOtracted consideration In that COM
mittee and they predict that the com
mittee will act after one or two of the
opponents of the legislation have been
heard.
Another line on which the wood alec
hol people are moving is to have the
bill amended by requiring retail dealers
to pay tax of about $50 year and
requiring them to keep a record of
their sales. This proposition will be
fought by the friends of the bill, who
point out that if such a provision We're
inserted in the bill, it would preclude
it's sale by many country storekeepefs,
who would not 90 to the trouble OF
keeping the necessary records, and who
| would, therefore,. prefer to sell gaso-
lene, to do which they are not re.
quired to pay any tax.
These proposals by the wood alcohol
people show that they are desperate
and that they are making a .last
ditch struggle, with little hope of
| carrying any of their proposals thru.
