so strong is the demand for full inior-
nation respecting conditions in the
meat packing industry, so conflicting the
reports regarding them, so widespread
and profound the horror which mere III
timation of the charles has produced,
and so general the suspicion with which
ALI meat products are now regarded,
that the President may be forced to make
public the report of Labor Commissioner
Neil. From the mere intimatiOn that
all is not as it should be in the packing
houses, the conclusion has been reached
in one bound that conditions are worse
thar any one is willing to admit. From
the acknowledged necessity for rigid gov
eminent inspection to prevent the pack
ers from selling diseased and putrid meats
10 the public the inference If drawn that
int little wholesome meat is sold. No
revelations that can be made by the
Commissioner of Labor are likely to be
half as revolving as the suspected details
of his discoveries or the imagined evils
existing throughout the whole meat
packing industry. 1t is, therefore, be-
coming apparent that not only is rigid
inspection by the government absolutely
necessary to restore any measure OF con-
fdence in this great element OF the
country's food supply, but the PubllcS-
ton of all known facts respecting PACK
inghouse methods may become necessary
in order that the public may learn that
the evils are not so great as now be-
lieved. Neither the government nor the
people owe the meat trust anything and a
full exposure of its nefsrious methods
should be made public.

them bon voyage. The young King has
at times manifested a thoughtless vein,
natural in most YOurG men, especially
those born to rule aud with The tradi-
tiOnal silver spoon in their mouth. He
has yet much to learn concerning the
true mission of life, and with a loving

prefer to believe he will reciprocste, he
will escape many OF the pitfalls incident
to path of those whose intimates are
solely of the masculine gender, and who
seek happiness outside the domestic
circle.

InTite Investigation

Instead Of opposing government in
spection and sanitary regulation of meat
packing plants, as contemplated by the
Beveridge bill, Chicago meat packers
declare that they will welcome such
legislation, although it is contended that
the larger houses are now sanitary. Of
fetal statements were made yesterday by

Company, declaring that these four con-
Germs were in favor of any inspection or

The ADVICE given to the colored race
at Hampton yesterday by President
Roosevelt is the most salutary since the
DAYS of Abraham Lincoln, and GER
tain percentage of cOlored people are
living upon the lines marked out by The
President 1t would be we'll if the mass
would take heed and do likewise. All
the laws enacted by the white race for
the amelioratiOn of the negro as we'll as
the various plans of philanthrOPists are
merely avenues into which the colored
race must pass 10 order TO evolve into
citizens who will merit respect. Idle
ness and dreams coupled with defective
education will accomplish nothing. The
first act of colored people is to find
honest employment, and to avoid places
where their morals are sure to suffer
President Roosevelt, among other things,
advised his colored hearers to go back to
the farms. While there is employment
for thousands in the rural districts, many
can also secure work 10 other places BY
working for their living they will sure
ly merit the respect of white people
among whom they live. But, unfor-
tunately, many hang around cities aud
towns and spend the fruits of their labor
in saloons and brOthels, while others not
addicted to the grosser habits live in
idleness and follow ignis fatuii in the
shape of movements they imagine tend
40 advance their race. Nothing will
efiectuaily advance any class bat indus
try, and this lesson the negro must learn.
