ing evils which have been shown to
exist in regard to foods and food sup
plies, especially in the meat packing
industry. !.
I'm the fundamental interests OF
the people such evils must be con-
trolled by appropriate and adequate
legislation, which we strongly urge
as the paramount duty of the national
congress.
TN connection with this question
we wish to emphasize the fact that
antiseptics and preservatives can not
mitigate in any degree the dangers
from decayed or decaying meat. Anti
septica may destroy putrifiactive or
ganisms, but can not neutralize toxines
or ptomaines.
Any contention to the contrary IS
unsound and meat that requires such
treatment is totally unfit for food be-
cause it still contains poisons OF a
virulent and dangerous character"
A resolution also was passed urg-
ing the establishment Of a national
department of health, with repre-
sentative in the cabinet.

cial. The activity among the mem.
bers OF congress during the past week
mas exceeded that of any week dur
ing the session, although nothing has
been accomplished that strikes the
public eye with especial force. The
fact Is the members are becoming
very anxious to complete the work
of the session and return to their
respective states where they feel
that their presence is needed to keep
the political machine in the ruts.
Th exposures of revolving condi-
tons in connection with the prepar-
alton OF articles Of food at the pack
ing houses have caused a good deal
of friction between the members OF
congress and senator's representing
the various states. Those represents
ing the packing house states are be-
sieged by the packers for protection
against drastic regulation of their
business. While the people from the
other states are demanding Ia no un-
certain tones that not only should
drastic legislation for the control Of
the packing houses by passes, but
that also an exacting pure food bill
should be Immediately passed. The
exposures OF the packing house pro-
ducts has called attention to the
authorizations that enter into almost
every article of merchandise that is
susceptible of adulteration which in
vestigation shows covers nearly the
whole list Of food products.
The ground swell Of opinion towards
Bryan for the nomination of the dem
ocratic party in 1908 struck the cap
ital last week. with terrific force. Per-
haps no place in the country is Bryan
so thoroughly appreciated as in Wash
ington. Here are assembled the mem
bers who during the past ten years
have sought to influence the opinion
and action of the sturdy NeEraskan
only to find that his convictions and
opinions are not subject 70 the order
of special interests or political bOs-
ses, and that Mr. Bryan himself was
content to await the judgment of the
people and bide his time, fully con-
fident that he was right and must
triumph in the end Here it is be-
lieyed that Roosevelt will be pitted
against Bryan in the contest in 1908
and while opinion is devideI upon the
subject many of the men who are
considered politically wise look for
Mr.. Bryan to triumph.
