SECRETARY WILSON'S STATEMENT.

SbNhBIAh1 W LJSON y SIAIbmENI'
Secretary Wilson's statement. is
sued by direction Of the president,
shows the promptness and thorough
ness with which the new meat inspec-
ton system is to be organized and en-
forced and is notice to the world of
the signal benefits which must flow
from 1t. Not one moment Is to be
lost and no effort of the government
to be spared in utilizing the powers
conferred by the new law. and when
these are put in force no nation will
have such far-reaching supervision Of
all forms of flesh food as the United
States has now decreed.
Secretary Wilson in his statement
properly emphasizes one great fact
which has lately been too much lost
sight of. but which the new law will
in due time surely be the means of
bringing into bold relief, namely, that
American live stock are the healthiest
in the world, the percentage Of dis
eased animals being remarkably small
anu oICduAlg utCIOdbluB pCCdubS Vi
the popularization of approved scien-
tiffc preventive methods, and that in
spection of live animals before and at
the time of slaughter always has been
though briefly and with insufficient
prominence, in the report of the presi-
dents special expert Investigators of
the Chicago packing industries. The
objectional and offensive conditions
which they found and the report of
which caused such sensation, related
to sanitation and methods of prepare
ton of canned meat and similar meat
derivatives.
Consumers of our meats the world
over will not fail to be favorably i'm
pressed by the fact that the govern
ment is bending every energy to put
in force, beyond the possibility of
evasion, an adequate law extending in
spection over every particle of the
process of meat production from pas
ture to package" The stamp of the
government henceforth will carry an
absolute guarantee of the purity and
wholesomeness of every ounce of meat
products that are carried from one
state to another or into foreign coun-
tries.
The result will inevitably increase
the demand for our meats both al
home and abroad, whatever temporary
injury may have been caused by re-
cent exposures. Thus the substantial
and permanent interests Of our Ameri.
can farmers and ranchmen. no less
than those of our packers, will be ulti
mately safeguarded by the inspection
law, which, indeed, was absolutely in
dispensable, after public sensibilitie:
had been shocked, to prevent perma
nent and grave damage to those vas
interests.

NO LONGER A FAD.
POstOfnce Regulations Designed 10
Promote Postal Card Business.
CLEVELAND Leader

Cleveland Leader.
The Postofice department has about ar
rived at the conclusion that the souvenir
postcard has developed from a fad into an
institution. There is no complaint on that
score, for the cards often take the places
of more bulky letters and they are easy
to handle. But on their account the public
is demanding at least one change in the
postal regulations
The rule Of the department is that every
letter and postal card shall be stamped
on the back with the place, date and hour
OF its receipt at its postoffice destination.
The result is often DETACHMENT OF the pic
lures on the souvenir cards, and some Of
them are beautiful. To meet this objection
the postofice in New York and several
other large cities have been allowed TO
omit the receiving stamp. Now the post
masters OF similar cities are asking for the
same exemptions.
There is little doubt that the department
will soon make its special ruling in this
respect general. The cards meet a real
requirement and many OF them are neat
and artistic. Often the pictures tell more
than can be put in a letter. The vulgar
and offensive specimens which were re-
Gently so conspicuous are rapidly disap-
pearing. Those which border on the in
decent are held out by the postmasters
and sent to the dead letter Office. It seemS
certain that the picture postcards have
come to stay.

AMENDING THE CONSTITUTION.
Steps 10 Formulate a Demand on

Chicago RecOrd-Herald

Chicago Record Herald.
Reports from Des Moines indicate that
the convention of delegates Of the states
TO discuss ways and means for securing
the election OF United States senators by
direct vote of the people will be largely
attended and will give rise to an energetic
propag anda. With nineteen states already

formal demand on congress 10 call a con-
stitutional convention, and with only
eleven more needed to force congress 10
act. It is evident that a little muscle and
a little dose Of get together" will bring
the results.
How much can be accomplished by a
state that starts out 20 interest the others
is shown by the work Of the committee
OF correspondence appointed by the Penn
sylvania legislature in 1899 aud reappOnted
in 1901. Prior to that time most of the
states had been urging congress TO pro

resolutions were merely expressions OF
their desire, not forma! demands which
could compel obedience Pennsylvania
pointed out TO the other states that their
work was going astray because the senate
would never yield 10 their wishes till II

INDEPENDENTLY pAr.

Today lie the one hundredth and
thirtieth anniversary of the signing OF
the Declaration OF Independence. and
the occasion will be duly celebrated
not only wherever the American flag
floats, but in many foreign countries
wherever American citizens may hap
pen TO be.
II has become quite the custom to
lament the decadence Of the times and
the degeneracy Of our public and pri-
vate life, especially in the light Of dis
closures exposing scandals in govern
ment and business. But no one who
looks back over the record of Ameri-
can progress and achievement within
the comparatively few years that have
elapsed since the birth Of the republic
can be pessimistic about the future.
The free institutions that were
erected by the founders OF our gov
eminent have been indicated time
and again and are more firmly en-
trenched today than ever before. No
country In the world is so entitled to
be called the land Of the free and
the home of the brave" and no other
people have as much to show in the
way of accumulated wealth and its
widespread distribution as the Amer
lean people.
While a millionaire addicted to
snobbery will now and then expatriate
himself in order to associate more In
timately with titled aristocrats OF
European monarchies. all the rest OF
the inhabitants of our country are
more than satisfied with their form of
government and the conditions which
II provides for comfortable livelihood,
and would not give up their American
citizenship in exchange for citizenship
in any other nation Of the world. When
they travel abroad they take their
greatest pride in heralding themselves
as Americans and when they return
home they realize more than they can
express how greatly they value the
American name and how glad they are
to set foot again upon American soil.
What sort of government and what
sort OF institutions might have been
developed on this continent had there
been no Declaration of Independence
on the Fourth Day of July in the year
17f6 no one can tell, but this much is
certain, that except for that historic
event our present government and our
present institutions would never have
been ours to hand down to succeeding
generations.

Progress on the Farm.
Chicago Chronicle.

CnlcdBO chronicle
The congestion OF population in cities
has led &c much moralizing on the decay
Of farm life and the indisposition Of farm
ers' sons to pursue the fathers calling.
Yet our census reports show that between
1850 and 1900 the number OF farms in the
country increased from less than 1,5O0O0c
to nearly s,OOOOoO That this is not wholly
due to larger population is shown by the
fact that, while tn 1850 there was one farm
to every sixteen persons, in 1900 there was
one to every 1873 persons. the farms grow
ing in numbers faster than the population
There is shown in this fact one reason why
farm labor is so inadequate to the demand

INDEPENDENT OPINION OF CONGRESS-.
What the Springfield (Mass.) Re-
publican deliberately says under the
head, What Congress and the Presi-
dent Have Done" is significant. be-
cause that paper is recognized as one
of the pronounced types of strictly in
dependent journalism, always a Sc
we're critic and standing for the strict
est ethical ideals in government Con-
Guiding the long list of important
measures enacted during the session
just closed, the Republican deiiber-
ately declares that 1T is record Of
great achievement" and adds; I'VE
may question indo / whether there
has been a congress session since the
civil war that has more closely held
the public attention or dealt afirma-
lively with SO many matters of hnblic
interest" And of great matters be-
fore congress, in its opinion, what
was left undone is Insignificant com
pared with what has been done"
There can be no doubt that the ma
ture Judgment of the country. when 1t
is definitely formed upon full informa-
ton, will coincide with this strictly
nonpartisan opinion, especially in view
Of the fact that most of the important
enactments are measures long under
consideration, but blocked by special
interests, or of measures "exalting
the powers of the federal government
both at the expense of the states and
of the power of monopolistic inter-
state businesses to do as they will In
the exploitation of the people"
The most extraordinary fact is that
most OF these measures have gone
through under no pressure Of public
disorder or industrial hardship and de-
preston. but under conditions en-
couraging to the policy of drift and
letting well enough" alone. 1t means
far more than it would II 1t was the
expression of a mere partisan advo-
cate that the Republican regards the
decisive impulse under these circum-
stances to be unquestionably President
Roosevelt, and that he acted upon no
mere disposition wantonly to NEEDLE
with and disturb existing arrange
ments, but In the conviction that a
large measure of injustice and wrong
enters into the industrial order of the
time.

Our neighbor, Thomas Edison, has got
the horse annihnated again. He has been
out after cobalt. and found lots of It
somewhere, ana that is to make the stor-
age battery so cheap, light and capacious
that every vehicle will very soon be self
propelling. Latterly, a good many OF
neighbor Edison's storage battery yarns
have got separated from their sequels and
the sequels have got lost. But. afte- all,
nobody has got a better right to have
hiatuses occur in the plots OF his wonder

compassed the incredible. When cobalt Is
cheaper than piebald, then cobalt Mean
