New York, June 227.-J Ogden Ar
mour, head Of the meat=canning indus
try, who has returned with Mrs. Ar
mour and his daughter, after an abb
sence of two months in Europe, said:
sstAll over Europe there is open agi-
tation for boycott on American prod

we should discredit our own industry,
and now Europe is telling everybody
to buy her own products, The entire
export trade has been badly damaged.
The loss may run into hundreds of
millions. ~.
"But the American meat industry
cannot be destroyed by socialistic agi-
tators, political revolut ionists, stump
speeches or sensational journalists run

Inspection is for our Interest," said
Mr.. Armour; ''the stricter the better;

Conditions of Success.

Mr.. M. E. Ingalls,, who went abroad
with the commission which undertook
the investigation Of municipal owner
ship in England, appears to have fallen
into the unfortunate habit common
to investigators Of stating his conclu-
sions before he gives his evidence.
He notes the success of great many
municipal experiments in Great Britain,
but Immediately adds that the cause of
their success is the willingness of many
first-rate men to devote themselves to
civic affairs, is not open to America.
The fact that Mr.. Ingalls, was willing
to 90 abroad at his own expense and
spend several months Of toilsome adj
ventures in municipal slaughter houses,
gas works and electric light plants,
somewhat discounts his own conclu-
sions. Mr.. ingalls, is ,tirst-class man.
The difficulty in America will not be
to find first-class men who will under.
take municipal labors. The difficulty
will be to bring about in the cities
political conditions which will encour.
age such men to hope for success in
their endeavors. The English and
Scotch cities fortunately found better
than average conditions Of success open
before them. They had no politics
practically, in their city administra
lions. They did not allow their local
campaigns to become the tail to some
parliamentary kite. They never &C
cepted the theory that man who was
liberal in national politics might not
work side by side with a conservative
on local board.
We see how it is in American cities
We have our absurd system of repub
lican and democratic tickets opposing
each other all the way from presiden
to alderman. The organization encour
ages this sort Of humbug because 4

should do so, but dependent ones who
have no one to provide for their care
should not be barred from chances Of
recovery. 1t is the consensus Of doc
tors that the sanatorium must not be
misused by filing it with patients who
have reached the incurable stage. It
is place for those who have hope,
and at least a fighting chance of re.
covery under proper conditions. Prop

and as pioneer in state care of
tubercular patients, Minnesota should
take pride in making the sanatorium a

Armour's Opportunity.

'tIn summing up what has been said
about the packers and what has been
done to the packing industry, one nat
urally inquiries, What has become Of
the boosted American fair play9''
In this manner J. Ogden Armour
attempts to give the impression that
the troubles of the packers have been
brought about by malice. Mr.. Armour
has taken this line Of discussion be-
fore, when he intimated that President
Roosevelt had started the agitation in
revenge for the escape Of the packers
in Judge Humphreys court. This as
sumption Of mean spirit Of re-
venge on the part of the president in
the transaction of the business Of his
office is worthy Of Mr.. Armour, who
has heretofore contributed some I'M
truthful articles for magazines upon
the fruit trade and the private-car
lines It will not disturb the confidence
of the country in the president. The
country will not believe that Mr.. Roose-
welt has descended to a depth where
Mr.. Armour can meet him on equal
terms and with equal opportunities of
vituperation.
Instead Of harping upon the motives
of Che president in ordering an inves-
tigation, it might be we'll for Mr.. Ar
mour to harp while on the relation
of the packers to the meat-inspection
law. Mr.. Cudahy and Mr.. Armour say
they are in favor of it; that 1t cannot
be made too strong FOR them. IF this
is SO, why do they oppose the strength
ening of the law9 Why was the frs
Wadsworth bill such a weakling? Why
was the second Wadsworth draft, thu
greatly improved over the first, still
so unsatisfactory that the president
was obliged to send a letter to Mr.
Wadsworth notifying him that he woult
not sign it if it passed both houses
Why, when bill finally passed tn
house and went into conference, wer'
the packers there actively engaged il
saddling the cost Of making their bust
ness profitable and safe on the take
Of the country9 Why are they still
opposed to dating the labels9
IF Mr.. Armour would address him
self to answering these questions b
might interest the public more tha
he does when he broadly hints that tn
president wantonly attacked grea
national industry because Judge Hun
phrey would not permit him to put Nj
Armour on trial. -..1..->.

A Degenerate Son.

Whether there Is warrant for the as.
sumption that Harry Thaw is legally
insane and was SO when he shot his vic
TIM, there is plenty Of evidence in his
career that he never had much instruc-
ton in the difference between right and
wrong and hence very little conception
of that difference. Descended from a
father who betrayed in his age the same
characteristics which the son has blown
upon the world in his youth, brought
up by a doting mother who humored
his every whin, whether It was to'tease
cat or smoke a cigaret, is 1t any
wonder he grew up to be at 80 an ire
sponsible, moral idiot9 -
Tho this unfortunate young man can.
not say with the great Of the ages,
can that I am T owe to my mother, -
he can say that he owes at least por-
ton Of his bad eminence to the weak
ness which characterized his early train.

PUBLIC BUILDINGS
SLOW IN COMING
Action Under Bill Will Require
from Eight to Ten
Months.
BY w. w. Jermane.

Washington, June, 27.-Residents Of
cities III Minnesota and other north
western states which are to have pub
lie buildings or sites for public build
ings, under the provisions of the PUBLIC
buildings bill, need not be disappointed
1t it takes eight or ten months to ac-
,qnlre the necessary land.
Several representatives, among them
Buchanan of Minnesota, made inquiry
at the office of the supervising archi-
tect yesterday relative to the method
OF procedure. Buchanan got $4,000
appropriation for a site at Brainerd,
and he wanted to be prepared to an
swer questions about it when he reached
home. ..s,ssl&. -
After the bill becomes a law the de-
partmsent viii determine how much
in each city named in the bill. It will
then advertise for proposals for the
sale of suitable sites. Upon receipt
bids will be tabulated and special
agents appointed to visit the various
cities and inspect the sites offered.
Upon the receipt Of reports, the de-
partment will determine which sites to
buy, and the abstracts of titles to the
tracts selected will be. sent to Wash,
tOrneys.
Following, the receipt Of titles there
will probably be quite a long delay
All abstracts will be referred to the de
partment Of Justice, where there is only
one man to do all the work incident tt
an examination Of abstracts, and they
must have his COX" before the fna
acts Of purchases are made.
All these details will consume from
eight to ten months. In places where
the government already had site, al
at Crookston, Representative Steener
son IS home town, the supervising archi
| tect will set his drafting force at worl
designing buildings. It takes at leas
three months to get out a set of plans
and specifications for small building
SO that in Crookston, and other place
situated as it is, work on public build
ings will not be commenced until thu
spring of 1907, at the earliest.
Minneapolis comes in the same elias
as smaller places in the public build
| ings bill in the manner Of the selection
Of a site for the new postoffice. TIL
department would like to have a Who'll
block Of ground, and will call for bid
| on that basis if the appropriation i
large enough. If the bill as it fnall,
passes does not carry larger amour
than is allowed by the house bill
| $3.50 ,0O0), the department will cut it

He was quite cross to some people,

her sister,, One day mamma was given
a box of candy. She received it just
before supper and was told to put it
away until after supper. After she
had eaten she ran upstairs to get her
She was too bewildered to cry. She
looked around and under her bed she
saw Duke eating the last Of her candy.
Oh, how she cried, but she just said,
Naughty Duke, naughty Duke"

had another box of candy. It was ly-

did not eat any. After the day mamma
called him naughty dog he. would
never eat candy unless it was given to
