millions, are content with bare com forts of life, claiming nothing more valuable than "$5 watch, a Slo piano" and occasionally a $zo horse" The vulgar ostentatlon or people of large means is always to be deplored, and the tax collector must be moved by emotions ot the sincerest pride as he lays before the world these evidences of the simple life. When it is considered that there are no less than sixty-hye men in the suburb, that their wealth is estimated at not less than mil- lion and half each, and that thelr personal property returns are less than $50, ,0O0, it is clearly proved that most extreme simplicity. How flt- ting and how instructive Chicago Evening Post.

that the investigation lasted two and half weeks in Chicago, but it does not say in what manner the investl- gation was conducted. Obviously, if these commissioners made known their identity to the packers they would have been carefully piloted through the packing establishments and generously spared the worst phases of the situation. If they went as strangers or as casual visl- tors who daily apply for permission to look through the plants, they would have been shown still less. We must conclude that there were some things that these commission CTS did not see and, in view of what they were permitted to observe, the imagination revolts at the possibili- ties of the hidden.
 President Roosevelt's presentation of this report to Congress, with remedial suggestions, places an im- perative obligation upon the repre- sentatives of the people. This is a matter in which there should be no playing at politics. The filthy reve- lations from Chicago are in no sense nay.ty icS,lac aycant ac ono ar the other party organization in Congress may seek to block or retard reforma- tive action. This is the opportunity for representatives and senators to rise to the occasion and demonstrate to the world that there is much more in the Congress of the United States than political potboiling and wrang- ling sectionalism.

ENDORSE TEMPERANCE.

The National Liquor Dealers Association, in annual convention at Louisville, Ky, has issued an ad- dress that condemns drunkenness in the strongest terms, and endorses the efforts of the temperance socie- ties of the country to suppress that character of saloons that are con- sidered a menace to the peace and quietude of law-abiding communi- ties. It is remarkable indeed. that such an address should eminate from that source, and yet it must be accepted as showing that the mem bers of the National Association are liberal enough to acknowledge the truth. The address in part says:
 ''The white ribbon movement, the blue ribbon movement, the prohibi- ton movement and the Anti-Saloon League movement were, or are, pro- tests upon the part of good men and women against two of the greatest evils connected with our civilization
 drunkenness, and those saloons which in a disreputable manner or else in such a way as to demoralize rather than to elevate those who patronize them-and we, the dele gates to this convention of the wine and spirit trade, desire to express our sympathy with efforts that have been put forth to exterminate the evils, and our willingness to lend CO., operation and assistance. ."-Arkan- sas Gazette.

beef" furnished the soldiers during the war with Spain, among other things, says:
 'I believe that 5000 United States soldiers lost their lives because of adulterated, impure, poisonous meat. There is no way of estimat- ing the number of soldiers whose health was ruined by eating impure food. 1 know only of it's harvest among the soldiers and can only guess how many lives it has cost the republic.
 ''The acids used to preserve meat are slow poison. Watch the army of pale, wan, sallow workmen as they pass and you may see the re- suits of preserved meat and adultra- ted food products. In the congest- ed tenement districts of the big cities watch the weak, pale faced children who are living on this food, innocently. and you will see how the slow poison is gradually sapping their vitality
 The crimes of the Standard Oil trust, great as they are, pale into comparative insignificance when placed by the side of the crimes of the beef trust.

PROTEST OF THE PACKERS

So far as the Neill-Reynolds re- port has gone the packers hold the advantage in the argument they have advanced in their answer. At least this is true in the opinion that will prevail in packing centers, where the public is most familiar with the conditions that exist in the stock yards and packing houses.
 In other words, people who have visited the packing houses and have noted for themselves the general care and cleanliness observed in the handling of meats, will not admit that there is good ground for dis turbing the live stock and packing business on the score of sanitation, to which the preliminary report sent to Congress was confined. It would seem to be self-evident that great establishments, with big investments of capital and with a sensitive trade of enormous proportions to protect, would be careful about the general conditions of their plants condi- tions under the observation of visi- tors who are made welcome at all times and of thousands of employees, some of whom are unfriendly.
 AS for the use of diseased or otherwise impaired meats, that is something that the casual observer cannot determine for himself. But if there are evils of this kind to re- port they should be reported at once. They should have been re- ported along with the review of sanitation, for that review alone does not justify the jeopardizing of a vast business. Kansas City Star.

TALKED OF CANNED MAT.
The American Packing House Scandal is Brought Up in the British House
 of Commons.

London, June S-The house of con- mons re-assembled Thursday after the Whitsuntide recess and set to work on the army appropriations. In the course of the debate Hugh Cecil Lea liberal Ga newspaper proprietor who has served in the British and American armies) pressed the government for an assurance that no more American tin ned meat would be purchased for the British army. He asserted from per sonal observation that the conditions under which it is packed are revolting
 War Secretary Haldane replied that he would be sorry to insist that all timed meats must be bought in the United Kingdom. He intended to pur- chase wherever he could procure the best and purest and had already select ed an officer who was an expert in these matters and had sent him to tha United States to inspect all tins care fully before any were purchased. That course would be pursued in the case of all timed meats
 Mir Lea asked if this officer would have access to the factory and be able to see how the work was done to which the secretary replied:
 That is why I am sending him to Amel flea. He will see the meat in pro cess of manufacture before it is sent here"
 Henry w. Forster, conservative, ask. ed whether the war office had power to cancel a contract if 1t was not sat isied with the conditions under which the meat was timed.
 MT. Haldane said the war office for tunately had very wide powers under the contract and intended using them to the fullest extent.

We recently read a story in a Kansas City paper telling of sick horse falling in the street and a fertilizer man watching and waiting for the horse to die so he could se- cure the carcrss. We think this is a islander on the fertilizer man, as recent exposures of the methods en- ployed by the Beef trust tends to show that an agent of the packers was watching to get that carcass to work up into embalmed, canned beef.

PACKING HOUSE SCANDALS.

Although the preliminary report of the Neill-Reynolds commission that investigated the condition of the Chicago packing houses is sufficiently shocking, under the circumstances it can hardly be complete. How ever, it leaves enough to the imagi- nation to arouse the resentful indig- nation of public that now realizes it has been imposed upon grossly through monopolistic greed and willful disregard of justice and decency. As exposed by the report which was sent to Congress yester- day, the packers of Chicago, and perhaps of other cities, stand moral ly convicted of commercial methods that are disgrace to civilization, and, unless the Neill-Reynolds re- port is ar exaggeration or tissue of falsehoods, no Federal measure of regulation will be adequate that does not provide for the minutest inspection of every process in meat packing, regardless of every form of remonstrance. The packers have brought this upon themselves. They have shown that they cannot be trusted. They have imposed upon public trust and credulity to the limit of endurance.
 The Neill-Reynolds report states

Under a recent action of the school board of Mena, a four year s high school course isnow established in the public schools. By this ar rangement two of the teachers will give their entire time to this work which will enable Mena to have one of the best high schools in the state, second to none of the larger cities. This action secures for us something which we have been in great need of for many years and home seekers cannot pass the city without locating for want of superior educational ad- vantages, It was further decided to take into the eighth grade and high school, students who might wish to attend from distance by paying into the treasury nominal tuition. Under this arrangement there is no reason why Mena will not become one of the principal educa- tional centers of the western part of the state.

A NEW DEPARTURE.
Taking Time by The Forelock."

1 alcohol both for extracting and pre- serving the medicinal principles residing in our indigenous, or native, medicinal plants, such as he employs exclusively in manufacturing his medicines.
 Some of these medicinal roots have, since Dr. Pierce first commenced to use them, advanced so in price, that they may be cultivated with great profit by our farmers. This is especially true of Golden Seal root, which enters into both the Doctors cGolden Medical Discovery and his vFavorite Prescrip- tion.n It now brings upward of $l.5O pound, although formerly selling at from 15 to 20 cents a pound. Many tons of this most valuable root are annually consumed in Doctor Pierce's Laboratory.
 From Organic Medicines" by Grover Coe, M. D., of New York, we extract the following concerning Hydrastis Golden Seal root) which enters largely, as we have already stated, into the com position of both uGolden Medical Dis coveryn and vFavorite Prescription Dr. Coe says: uHydrastis exercises an especial influence over mucous sur faces. It's action in this respect is so manifest that the indications for its em- ployment cannot be mistaken. Hence the efficiency of uGolden Medical Dis covery,n which is rich in Golden Seal root, in all catarrhal affections, no mat ter in what part of the system located.) Upon the liver it acts with equal cer- tainty and efficacy. As a cholagogue (liver invigorator), it has few equals. Also in scrofula, glandular diseases generally, cutaneous eruptions, indi- gestion, debility, diarrh9a, and con- stipation.n
 Doctor Coe continues: uHydrastis Golden Seal root), has been success fully employed in the cure of leucor- rhpa. It is of singular efficacy when that complaint is complicated with hepatic (liver) alteration (derangement). Fly drastis is also of inestimable value in the treatment of chronic Arrangements of the liver. It seems to exercise an especial influence over the portal vein and hepatic (liver) structure generally, resolving (dissolving) biliary deposits, removing Instructions, promoting se- cretion, and giving tone to the various functions. It is eminently cholagogue (liver accelorator), and may be relied upon with confidence for the relief of hepatic (liver) torpor. It promotes di- gestion and assimilation, obviates con- stipation, and gives tone to the depu- rating (cleansing) functions generally"
 Dr. Coe further says: rWe would here add that our experience has de- monstrated Hydrastis to be valu- able remedy in bronchitis, laryngitis, and other affections of the respiratory organs"
 After reading the foregoing extracts who can doubt the great efficacy, in a long list of diseases, of uGolden Med ical Discovery one of the principal ingredients of which is Golden Seal root (Hydrastis)? And this applies with equal force to Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription for weak, worn- out, over worked, nervous, invalid women.
