The Question of
Undrawn Poultry.

Jacksonville is in the throes of a
fight against the meat and ice trusts,
and one OF the most important features
in the fight that is being waged against
the former combine is the question OF
undrawn poultry. The Jacksonville
Metropolis of Tuesday evening dis
Cusses the matter as follows:
The question of packing fowls in
Ice without removing their entrails, Is
becoming one of much import as a
proper food for people. 1t Is held by
seine as detrimental TO health to eat
such fowls, and by others that it is
not. For long time this custom OF
killing fowls in Chicago and Kansas
City and packing them In ice and dis
tributing them throughout the entire
country has prevailed, and thousands
OF them have been sold and eaten,
but so much has been said Of late
about this that DIR. Wiley, Of the Agri.
cultural Department, proposes to
make an investigation OF fowls as well
as meats.
The question Of drawn or undrawp
poultry Is an old one. There are mar
ketmen and housewives who insist
thak the entrails of fowl should be
removed as soon as killed, just as are
those of steer or a hog, and il they
are retained for any considerable
time the entire carcass is tainted.
nhaxa are others who insist upon the

A CLEAR FIELD
FOR MR.. BRYAN
Savannah News.

Some days ago Mr. Bryan wrote to
friends in this country that he was
not the only man whose name was
prominently mentioned in connection
with the Democratic nomination for
president, and he mentioned Gov. Folk,
Mr.. Hearst and Senator Bailey. Sena-
tor Bailey stated the other day, In a
speech in Texas, that Mr.. Bryan was
the man to be nominated by the Dem
ocrats in 1908, Mr.. Hearst has stated
in an interview published in San Fran
cisco that he isn't a candidate for the
nomination and Gov. Folk, in a speech
at Milwaukee on July Z, said that the
Democrats had already settled the
question as to whom they would nomi-
nate in 1908. He said they would
nominate Mr.. Bryan and that he fav-
ored him as the party"s standard bear
er.
1t looks, therefore, as if the field was
clear for Mr.. Bryan. In his letter to
ex-senator James K. Jones, published
in the Morning News on Sunday, Mr..
Bryan said he should do nothing TO
secure another presidential nomina-
ton, hut that as there were certain re-
forms he should like to see accom-
plished he would accept the nomination
IL 1t were offered to him.
AT present 1t looks as if there would
be no occasion for him to seek the
nomination. 1t Is about as certain as
anything can be at the pres
ent time that the nomination will he
offered to him unanimously He has
already been indorsed by the Demo
Gratis of many of the states, and, as
far as we have observed, there hasn't
been voice raised in opposition to
him. II Mr.. Hearst or Mr.. Bailey or
Mr.. Folk ever had an idea of becoming
a candidate for the nomination they
abandoned it as soon as they saw the
unanimity with which the Democrats
in all parts Of the country were turn
ing 10 Mr.. Bryan. In the face of such
manifestations OF an overwhelming
Bryan sentiment it would be folly for
either Of them. to aspire to the nomina-
tion IN 1908.
There isn't much doubt that Mr..
Hearst felt that IL he were elected
Governor Of New York next fall he
would stand a very good chance of
being nominated by the Democrats for
president. 1t Is not improbable that
he will be elected governor Of that
state. 1t Is understood that he Is 60
ing to be a candidate for the Office.
but IL he is it will be with the under
standing that he will not aspire to the
Democratic nomination for president.
All Of them, however-Bailey, Hearst
and Folk--are young men and can
afford to wait.

the former view of the case. But 1t

food products will be far more hopeful
of good to the public health than a
world of academic hairsplitting over
gastronomic fads and fancies.
The New York Tribune says that ii
will be of interest, for example, to
know. so far as science can ascertain
and tell. precisely what is the effect
upon articles of food of long storage
in the cold. It is well known that
cold prevents decomposition Of the or
dinary kind Indeed, it has been
known to preserve flesh in an appar

time. But it has been an open ques
ton in the minds Of many whether
some other changes may not occur
in frozen flesh and other objects
which render them undesirable, Il
rot directly noxious. Men who
would accept without hesitation as

MUNICIPAL ICE
PLANT Is DISCUSSED
Tampa Times.


The city council of Jacksonville is
considering the advisability of erect
ing and operating municipal ice
plant. By this it is not meant to fur
nish the people of the city with free
ice, but merely TO give them access
to abundance of this valuable commo-
dity at reasonable prices. For GEN.
tury or two the principle of municipal
ownership has been in practice in var
ious parts of Europe TO a much
greater extent than in this country,
and such move would be no novelty
over there
1t is to be presumed that the inquiry
now being made In Jacksonville rs
merely as 20 whether-with its char
ter limitations and conditions-the
city can go into the porposed business.
1t is true that 1t is an unusual thing,
but there would seem to be no reason
in the nature of the proposition why
the city should not do it il its people
see fit. Ice is an article of as much
necessity almost as gas or other form
of light.

for the community as whole to un

Precautions Against
Yellow Fever.

While every precaution is appar-
emily being taken to prevent the in
PRODUCTION of yellow fever into the
southern states during the present
season, there has been some criticism
of the plan adopted at the ports OF
New Orleans and Mobile. with refer
ence to allowing fruit vessels from
Central American ports to discharge
their cargoes at the city wharves, even
though the crews of such vessels have
been changed and the crew which nav
igated the vesse! from the point where
the cargo was taken held at quarantine
while the vessel proceeded to the
point where the cargo was discharged.
Under the caption Precautions
Against Fever" the Savannah News
has the following to say relative to
the matter.
New Orleans is taking extraordinary
precautions at her quarantine station
at the mouth of the Mississippi river
against yellow fever She has house.
boat stationed there and the crew OF
an incoming fruit steamer is trans
ferred from the steamer TO the house
boat, and from the houseboat a crew
is sent to the steamer and takes 1t to
the city. Thus crews that have been
in Central America where there is
fever are not permitted to visit New
Orleans. When the steamer Is ready
to return to the fruit fields she takes
on board her old crew at the quaran.
tine station. Only the captain is per-
mitted to land at New Orleans and al
the port where the fruit Is obtained
He must land in daylight and remain
only long enough to clear his ship.
No doubt the state board of health
Of Louisiana has studied this matter
thoroughly and has decided that this
precaution Is necessary, but IL the
fever is due to the mosquito, isn't il
just as likely that the mosquitoes will
reach the city in the fruit as they
would in the clothes Of the crews OF
the fruit steamers?
II Is true of course, that the steam
ers are fumigated four times each voy
age, but Is 1t not difficult matter tC
reach mosquitoes in that way that may
be hidden in cargoes of fruit? II
would seem so. The fact that mem
bers Of the crew are not permitted tc
go ashore at the ports where the fruit
Is obtained doesn't prevent the mos
quitoes from getting on the steamer
Even though the steamer is anchored
a good distance from the shore the
mosquitoes are not prevented from
reaching her. Mosquitoes are, some
times, encountered miles from shore
by coast steamers, as travellers from
this port to New York can testify.
However, 1t is apparent that tn,
health authorities of Louisiana are
doing all they can to prevent the fevel
from getting Judgement in New Or
leans. They are screening the els
terms and draining the wet places
the mosquito feverIbreeding places
and they are taking every other pre-
caution which they think Is necessary
There was little scare respecting the
fever there few days ago, but 4
turned out to be false alarm.

Those who thought at the close Of the
campaign of 1900 that Mr.. Bryan was
politically dead were mistaken. And
he is a much abler man than he was
when he made his last campaign. That
fact is admitted even by his political
opponents, though he was able enough
to give them great scare in 1896 and
also in 1900.

ARMOUR DEFENDS
PACKING HOUSES
Says Meats are all Right and That
Attacks on Packers Have Cost

Dollars

anied by his wife and daughter, Lo-
lita, who has been uDder the care of

here today On tt e Kronprinz q ilbelm.
Mr. Armour tonight made public
the following statement regarding the
recent packing house exposures:
One of the largest american indus
tries has been attacked and attacked
without reason, in II way that has dis
credited American goods of all kinds
abroad. All over Europe there is open
agitation for a boycott on American
products.
THE entire export trade of this
country has been badly managed. To
estimate the total loss now would be
merely guesswork. 1t may run into
the hundreds of millions. When Amer
lean Industries ale sIandered by pers-
ops who pretend to speak as Ameri-
cans, it is to be expected that foreign
competitors will take advantage of il.

can not be destroyed by socialist agi-
tators, poliicait revolutionists, stump
speeches or sensational Journalism

give the total money on deposit in
those several institutions as S605,
