The Message to New York.

With the voice of the first mem
Der of his Cabinet. the President OF
tie United States has interpUsed
the full weight and authority of his
Office in behalf of the candidacy of
Mr.. Hughes. to be governor of New
York. No parallel for this act can
be cited in all the history of the
nation. 1t can be construed to only
one effeet-that from the eminence
of the Presidency, Theodore Roose-
welt has deemed it needful to sound
a warning as impressive and start
ling as the personality of his Secre-
tary of State, his own personality,
and the dignity of his high office to-
gether could make it.
That the message has been force
fully expressed no one who has
read Mr.. Roots speech Will ever
deny. Ii belongs, indeed, with the
great campaign utterances. The
careful upbuilding of an argument
which is the reflection of the law
yer's mind, the fine appreciation of
opportunity which is one of the
first requisites of the politicians
mind, and the Onsweep of phrase
which is the expression of the true
orators mind, are all powerfully
put TO use. Independent voters
cannot fail to be impressed. Unless
an effective answer To its specifica-
tions shall be advanced, the speech
may easily turn the tide and over
whelm Nj. Hearst.
The general attention will be de-
voted chiefly TO the excoriation of
Mr.. Hughes opponent 1t earns
that notice; for nothing more bitter
in substance, however restrained in
form, has been spoken from the
stump in late years. But the reader
who fails TO cen the information set
forth in the first section of the
speech viii mss much. Not to our
knowledge has there been publish
ed up TO this time so clear and
comprehensive an outline of the
work done by the President for the
control Of the corporations.
That is the work which MIR. Root
opposes TO the ambitions of Mr..
Hearst. The comparison is deliber-
ate. The demand that the voters
of New York shall choose between
them is made "by the Presidents
authority" The issue is clear and
of the Presidents own choosing. If
now, after so brilliant a presenta-
tiOn of his case, the candidate 10
whom he gives so earnest an in
dorsement shall fail of election. the
vote of New York, the Presidents
own State, can have no other con-
struction save that of willful dis
regard of him and his message.

would put no man on that committee

OF SERVANTS

While the immigre tiOn service gives
out its big estimates Of the foreigners

"Aired girl problem" is still unsettled.
Il would seem, therefore, an error 10

abroad

How Meat Inspection Works.

Two kinds of enterprise are sug-
gested by the advertisements of n
great Chicago meat packing house
which are appearing widely, One
is the purpose 10 make the inspec-
ton of the United States Govern
ment count now for the greatest
trade value; the other is the dispo-
sition, which was so desperately
manifested before Congress, TO pre-
vent the extension of that inspec-
tiOn until il should be thorough and
satisfying.
The advertisement begins:
The United States inspection stamp,
on every pound and every package of
Blank goods. guarantees purity. whole
someness, and honest labelling of all
guaranty is in these words: u s In
spected and passed. under act of Con
gress of June 80 1906" Look for that
4 little further along comes this:
Read the Blank Extract label again.
Extract OF Beef" There is no com
pound OF miscellaneous meat extracts
under tndI label TO be named Extract
of Beef" il must be extract of beef. The
United States Government inspection
stamp guarantees that. The United
States stamp is so put on that opening
the jar breaks the stamp. See that the
stamp is intact.
All of which is wholly commend
able. 1t is precisely what the
amendments to the Agricultural APP
preparation act were designed to
accomplish. TO be named Extract
of Beef il must be extract of beef"
That is the whole story. And in the
light of these advertisements the
average customer will wonder more
than during the closing months of
the last Congre ssionaI session why
the meat packers thought il wise to
send a powerful and determined
lobby 10 Washington to defeat pro-
visions for an effective inspection
of their products.

The Boston brain development is
