MTDSUMMER LAMB.

After an enforced absence Of several months
from the fields on which he loves to gambOl
the lamb made his appearance again last week,
and has been received with demonstrations Of
joy by his Oldtime friends the bulls and the
bears. Nearly a week before he took the leap
into the place which is always open to receive
him he had nibbled at the bait with which the
lamb is lured to realms of lucre. but to his
way of thinking there were still some thistles
mixed with the savOry food, and he held aloOf
He made many feints at rushing in upon the
waiting thrOng only to lose courage at the
critical moment and then he scampered back
and from a safe distance studied the tape, the
oracle Of the lamb, and speculated on what
might have BEEN
At last his store Of resisting power became
exhausted and with firm and determined Il
step as his condition would permit he made his
re-entry. He was not the sturdy, we'll fed lamb
OF SIX months ago. On his neck he bore ugly
wounds made by blows from all kinds of cop
per, steel and lead. He lmped because OF
bruises received in railroad slumps; he wheezed
and coughed from the effects of bad gas and
showed that his earthquake shocked nerves had
not yet become steady. But, despite all this, he
was cheerful, confident and happy boasted Of
his recuperative qualities and dropped his con-
tribution into the kitty with the same hone
full spirit that animated all the lambs that had
gone DeGOfe MIN. lie knew IlaC his day had
dawned, and that come what might, strikes,
earthquakes war, he need not fear-he had
learned his lesson and would profit by his ex-
perience.
He is a wonderful creature, this lamb. His
wounds will heal, his limp will disappear and
his breathing will become normal. He will
frisk and play again and forget the days when
bear raids made life a burden and the nights
when visions of melting margins drove sleep
away. And then, some day, without warning
when no cloud is in the sky, another storm will
break over him. Then his neck will be swathed
in bandages once more. He will be cuffed and
kicked and hammered and jumped upon and
driven to the brink Of desperatiOn-but he will
not jump of. He will limp away, dream dreams
of what he might have done, make plans for
the next time, and then he will come again to
his beloved haunts. He cannot be killed, this
gentle, this supertough lamb

CHANGING FASHIONS IN CRIME.

Recently two New York insurance companies
announced that they had retired from the
burglar insurance business in New York City
because 1t was Improbable. In another COL
umn of The Tribune to-day Inspector Mclaush-
lin, head of the Detective Bureau, describes
change in criminal conditions in the city hav-
ing bearing on the situation which confronted
the insurance companies. His remarks besides
being an interesting commentary on burglary
as an industry to-day, furnish food for thought
when left Headquarters, eleven years ago."
he says, there were two thousand faces In our
picture gallery. Now there are twelve thou
''sand. The gallery has been flied up
''tfese last few years with Russian, Polish and
Hungarian Jews, BOhemians and Italians.
'"They are mostly young fellows, who learn
enough of American ways to be crooked"
The great burglars of the past, the burglars
with talent for invention and who took pride
in doing an artistic job. are no more The
places of the men who could cOntrive an Ocean
Bank robbery have been taken by a horde Of
petty, unambitiOus sneakthieves. The condition
described by Inspector Mclaughlin is enough 70
make an Oldtime burglar turn in his grave and
an American think once more of the perplexing
immigration problem.

Hon. Charles a. TowIe, who has just unani-
moussy nominated himself as the Democratic
candidate for Yice-P President IN 1908, bitterly
attacked President Roosevelt the other day for
the part he played in securing meat inspection
legislation. The Presidents '.radicalism" in in
sisting on "a square dealR for meat consumers
had caused Mr. Towne said, the loss OF mill
ions upon millions" We can find NO evidence
of such a loss: but, cost whatever it. did, the
Presidents stand for better conditions was
Overwhelmingly justified. The country has
given him its heartiest approval and practically
undivided support in his fight for inspection,
and Mr.. Towne has chosen a lulicrOusly inef-
fective issue if he means 10 ask the voters TO
condemn such "radicalism."

THE NEAT INSPECTION REFoRus

The new meat inspection regulations drawn
np by Secretary Wilson promise satisfactory
protection against packing house abuses I'm
der the old system the inspection stopped short
with the carcass. A pretence was made OF con-
demning animals hagrantly unfit for conversion
into food products, and the packer enjoyed a
free hand In preparing the material passed for
delivery and consumption. It was the accepted
theory that business pride and enlightened self
interest would lead the packing houses to deal
squarely and honestly with their customers, sell
sng them meats prepared with due regard 10
cleanliness and without the neutralizing assist
ance OF unwhOlesOme preservatives. Unfortu-
nately self4nterest took the form OF false econ
Omies fD management end improper attempts

chemical gugslery. Under the new law and the
new regulations sweatshOp methods and fraud
1llent processes will be greatly discouraged, for
the government will step in and insist on an
adherence 70 standards Of integrity and de-
cency which self-interest should have estab-
lished. but failed 10.
The new system Of inspection is TO be thor
oughgOing. IL will really follow the meat "from

health and fitness OF stock before slaughter
but On the conditions under which the meat is
handled after slaughter and on the processes
by which it is made ready in various forms for
the market It viii regulate the use OF pre-
servatives and correct the deceptions practised
in labelling 1t viii compel scrupulOus regard
for sanitary requirements In the packing houses
and VIII e1ectually guarantee that meat prod

contain no dyes, chemicals, preservatives or
ingredients which render meats or food prod

Another point gained is the prohibition OF

der the pure food law product cannot be sold
under a misleading name, even though that
name has been long appropriated for trade uses.
