A Good Work.

Members of the state food commits
sion are reported to have again taken
large number of samples of milk in
Springfield from local distributors AMI
to have sent them to University of Hi
nois chemists for chemical analysis TO
ascertain whether or not the milk Is
clean and pure.
This effort TO maintain a pure milk
supply is commendable, and a work
that the people gladly encourage.
Cleanliness and purity of the milk
supply of a city have in the past been
woefully neglected. and the revelations
resultant from investigation and tests
already made in Springfield have been
startling.
Municipal and state governments
should perfect the system OF coopera-
tive investigation in this matter, and
provide a means of insuring a milk
supply always clean and pure.

MEAT TO Be DEARER

Opinion of Armour Manager Who Says
Prices Are Always Controlled by

Washington, Sept 2O.-Frank Z.

vance in the price of meat food pro

almost any commodity. When You
take the under grades of meat not
strictly first class off the market and
consider that that class forms a large
percentage of all meat sold, then you
can readily understand that as the
supply is shortened and the demand
just as great the consumer Will have

then it is only right that government
ownership should be adopted. Bryan
does not pledge his party or himself to
government ownership of railroads,
but he takes the position that it would
be better for the government TO own
and control the railroads than for the
railroads TO own and control the gov
eminent.
Every honest person I'M the United
States who will give honest expression
to his views. will agree with Bryan
that evils under the present system
|of railroad trust management are mul-
tiplying and are working great in
jury not only because they Cypress the
public. hold up the business man, and
WELD a mighty influence generally
but because they buy and sell public
officials. control city councils, state
legislatures and have their servant
senator's and servant congressman at
Washington to do the bidding of the
railroad trusts and other combines re-
lated closely thereto.
Bryan does not pledge his party to
the policy of government ownership:
he does not demand that the democrat
ic platform contain plank pledging
adoption of such policy, but he man
fully points out the well known evils
of railroad trust corruption and fraud.
and says of the railroads cannot be
controlled under the present system
which permits the trusts to regulate
the government, then the government
should adopt a system giving it owner
ship of the railroads and insuring
power to control the trusts rather
than be controlled by them.
Bryan and his friends do not apol-
ogize for Bryan's courageous and
public-spirited declarations on this
subject. yet those who are endeaYor-
ing TO spread the idea that Bryan has
pledged himself and his party to pub
lie ownership of railroads. lie, and do
it with the vicious intent of injuring
an honest man who is conscientious
enough and fearless enough to utter
his honest convictions.

Bryan and Railroads,

oring to be frightened and are trying
to brighten others with all sorts of
startling interpretations of Bryan s
New York utterance
These same persons who have ex-
hibited so much fright, know what a
complete failure this government has
made OF regulating and controlling the
railroads. These same persons held
up their hands in establishment and
alarm at the recent rebate exposures.
These same persons have expressed
their horror at the rate evils, the
fraud. trickery and corruption prac-
ticed by certain railroad corporations.
These same persons know the rail-
roads are not regulated the way they
should be. These same persons know
how the railroad magnates are fatten-

dollars from the purses of the COM

things. and he is courageously speak
