SMALL SLAUGHTER HOUSES NEXT.

SMALL SLAUGHTER HOUSES NEXT.
The discovery through inspection By
the Kansas State Board Of Health that
a minor meat slaughtering house is in
a dangerously unsanitary condition Is
suggestive OF the fact, which lie bound
to grow in importance in public atten-
tion. that the field for protection of
public health will henceforth lie In the
direction Of the smaller local plants
rather than the great ones. The
former in fact have been under none
of the strong CONSTANTS which hith-
erto have tended to improve sanitary
methods in the big packing establish
ments. II is to be remembered that
both national and local inspection has
long been in force in the big exporting
packing houses. with the result that
conditions had been immensely Inn
proved even before the recent disclos-
ures, notwithstanding some revolving
circumstances in the meat Industries
grouped around the Chicago stock
yards. The very character Of the for
eisn market in which they have striven
to build up q trade In canned meat
products has been a strong influence
! for betterment, because these goods
had to encounter foreign Onicial and
private inspection,
II was inevitable, therefore, when
attention should later be turned 10 the
subject, that q worse sanitary situation
would be developed In many ANAL
slaughter houses. The frightful filtbi.
ness which the Kansas Board OF
Health has discovered may be credited
although some OF the circumstances
are too offensive 20 be described. They
are at any rate upon the whole Wors,
than the worst exceptional conditions
found in any Of the biE exporting
houses. II is precisely in such lOea
establishments that peril to consumer
Is now actually increased by the yer!

sanitary conditions they will hereafter

Thanking with its breath the sky.

When the loving sun had gone,

Poised on malachite below.

TIE oKL1BoS1 CONSTITUTION.


II IL q good sign that the people Of
Oklahoma are csnterins their interest
in the coming election mainly In the
framing Of the constitution under
which they are to be admitted into the
union as a state The result OF their
efforts will be awaited with no small
curiosity by the people of the country
generally.
The new commonwealth enters upon
the work under far more favorable cir
cumstancss than those in which most
OF the territories have become states.
They have for many years been q COM
runity fully competent for statehood
and have had abundant time to con-
slider thoroughly all the questions
which will be before their constitu-
tional convention for settlement. In
deed, they are, practically, In better
position to frame a model constitution
than many states, because they need
not be restrained by old constitutional
adjustments which are so embarrass-
Ing for conventions when merely re-
visIng a long standing organic law.
In large part the Oklahoma consti-
tuition must be a restatement OF the
fundamental provisions common to all,
embodying what has grown to be un-
derstood as the republican form Of
government required by the supreme
law. But no other commonwealth has
recently had such an opportunity to
settle broadly and conclusively in it's
own interest many vital issues which
belong peculiarly to the time and
which many states under their old con
| stitutional forms find themselves
greatly embarrassed to deal with. Such
questions are those involved in taxa
ton, in corporations, in transportation
and in the salient relations growing
out of trade combinations and other
conditions of recent Industrial devel-
opment, and many other important
subjects like reform OF the criminal
code. The Oklahoma convention, too
II II be composed of the wisest and
most progressive citizens, has the in
estimable advantage OF the experience
of all the other states in dealing with
the new questions which have thrust
themselves forward the last two or
three decades, and It will sit at time
when the thought of the whole country
has been concentrated for some time
upon these subjects.
The main difficulty with which the
Oklahoma convention will have to deal
will probably be the temptation to par.
ticularize in the organic instrument
which by loading down with mere
matter OF legislation. has caused end
less trouble in all the younger western
states, including Nebraska. The new
state will ind Itself In a straitjacke'
which will plague It indefinitely II 4

PERSONALLY CONDUCTED.

The most curious feature Of Colonel
Bryan's Homecoming IL revealed by
the publication Of his letter to the
committee having, as It thereby APP
pears, nominal charge Of the New York
banquet Of the Commercial Travellers
Antitrust association at which II IL
planned that he shall be the honored
guest. The letter discloses the fact
that not only has he laid down the
requirements in accordance with which
the ceremonies and procedure Of the
reception to himself must be ar
ranged, but also the program in detail
must be submitted to and formally
approved by him before It can be re-
sarded as ofncial and binding.
Mr.. Bryan is evidently taking nc
chances in the celebration Of his home
coming. At any rate the soiicitudt
which he mAnifests shows bow i'm,
portant he regards the occasion. The
country likewise should take notice
that the proceedings will have all tn,

Mr.. Bryan's lnsistence upon his Consist
