PRESIDENT WILL WIN
OUT IN HIS FIGHT

Washington, June IL Indications
welt has won his fight on meat inspec-
ton. BY his insistent letters to Chair
man Wadsworth of the house agricul.
tural committee, attacking the amend.
ed bill as it came from the commit.
tee, he has practically forced the
house leaders into a position where
they are becoming fearful of longer
opposing him. The president has
made it clear that the bill as it now
stands is the bill that the packers
want and that it will not be effective.
While the house leaders are bitter
toward the president for forcing them
to the position they are now in, nev.
ertheless, realizing the political dan
ger of prolonging this fight, Speaker
Cannon is showing signs of surrend-
ering. He sent Representative Adams
Of Wisconsin to the White house to
ascertain just what amendments the
president wanted, and Mr.. Adams
with the speakers consent, called an
informal conference of the republicans
of the committee yesterday, in the abb
sence of Wadsworth. At this confer
ence, the sentiment was in favor Of
eliminating the court review provision
of the bill put in by the committee
and also the provision that the meat
inspectors appointed should not be
under civil service rule.
A number of other changes sought
by the president were not seriously
opposed although there was opposi-
e. Dth ho ~
to make the government pay the in
spection costs.
1t Is expected that there will be a
meeting of the entire committee Mon
/ day and that such amendments at the
president deems indispensable will be
agreed to.

Kind of Men Needed.

II one were to go to the president OF
the United States and ask him TO name
the country's greatest need, he would
reply in his quick, conclusive way:
"CIean men" He knows, says the De-
l1neator. Smart men there are by the
thousands; rich men abound more than
fl any other age of the world; able
men are found in every state and
township, but even from population
or 100000 the chief executive has
difficulty in finding the man of eXcep-
tional character for a post which re-
qutres a square and tlawless morality.
1t is to his credit that he misses no OPP
portunity to preach manhood. But
neither presidents nor preachers nor
teachers can do the work of fathers
except in their own families. We do
not mean to underestimate the marvel
Gus influence of the mother. In most
lands men who reach success give
their mothers the credit "All that
am l owe to my mother" said Lin
coin. 1T was you who taught me
10 write so. You really did, dear moth
err" said the grabbed Carlyle. We get
our moral qualities from our moth
ers. our mental from our fathers, say
the psychologists, and as we look back
we find this maternal affection the
loveliest thing on earth. But isn't there
a conviction down deep in our souls
that we should have done much better
If cur fathers had taken time and
trouble to share oud condolences in the
years that counted most?

topics for discussion before the third
annual convention of the Iowa State
Association of Graduate Nurses. The

Meat Producers Will Object.

"SSe EiSAuSC'S WIZ SDlCSls
H. G. Wallace, secretary of the
Corn Belt Meat Producers associa-
ton solidly declares that the live
stock men of the west will line up
soli1ly against the proposal to pro-
hibit the shipment of diseased live
stock and put penalty upon farmers
making such shipment. The Corn
Belt association, which has become a
strong factor in Iowa, as we'll as the
association of western livestock men,
will use every effort to prevent the
enactment by congress of an amend
ment to the meat inspection law to
bring about such an end. Already
steps have been taken to this end
THE proposal, included in one of
the substitutes to the Beverage meat
inspection bill, to impose a penalty
upon any farmer or shipper who
ships unsound and unhealthful ami
mails to market would paralyze the
livestock industry of the corn belt"

the farmer and shipper has no means
of knowing whether he has in his
shipment animals which may be dis
eased."
