SAGE AND SULLIVAN
Correspondent Shows Greed of Ono and
 Philanthropy of the Other.

The Editor of the Democrat: Sir-A multi-millionaire died tho other day, and the press of the coun- try Is presenting him to the public as an exemplar.
 His career as self-made man and money maker Is widely published. His maxims for accommodating and hoard ing money hold conspicuous place in the columns of our newspapers.
 He Is lauded for his success in pill ing up the "mammon of iniQuity.' ? He is regarded as a success, as one who has rounded out grand career. What did he do.
 l He accumulated seventy or eighty or perhaps 100 millions of dollars. To what use did he put this colossal fortune?
 l He left 1t all to his wife and sis ters and nieces and nephews. Not one cent of the hundred millions was be- queathed to the poor or to charit- able or educational institution, or tc religion.
 Yet he is regarded as an ideal.
 Last week another self-made man Patrick F. Sullivan, died In Boston He accumulated fortune, but not half million.
 l In his will he bequeathed to twen. ty-seven public institutions of char. ity, education and religion, $72,500 He specified bequests to the orphans and the poor. The minor part of hii estate was left to his sister and nieces.
 | His obituary depicts him as "the soul of honor in business life, firm ol character and rigidly exact in hi business dealings through life" | Whilst the ability of Russell Sage for accommodating and keeping money Is published to the world. let the fac ulty of Patrick F. Sullivan for ac quiring and dispensing money 1T charity be also proclaimed.

WILSON PREDICTS
CHANGE TO BETTER
SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE
HAS FAITH IN THE NEW
ENACTMENT
Says Product of the Packing Houses OF
the United States Will Be Superior
to Any Other in the World-Gather-
ing Data From Railroad Men.

Washington, D. c., July 30-Secre-
tary Wilson Saturday declared that as
a result of the new meat inspection
law and the rules promulgated by him
Friday a radical change for the better
would occur
Within very short space of time,
he said, "the meat products of the
United States will be purer and more
Wholesome than any similar products
of the world The conditions existing
in some of the similar slaughtering
and packing houses abroad are about
as bad as can be imagined, and the
America people henceforth will enjoy
distinct advantage over the people
abroad.
"Of particular Importance is the rule
providing for weekly reports to be sup
piled the bureau of animal industry
Without such reports 1T would be diff
cult to cope with the situation AS a
general proposition, however. believe
the law will be complied with, but
shall take nothing for granted in con
nectioa with the inspection and will
make the inspections in every estab
lishment that the law reaches rigid
and complete,
transportation Rules.
at has not been determined wher
the rules governing the interstate
transportation phase of the question
will be Issued"
The secretary is in Almost daily con
ference with railroad men, particularly
from the west, and from these he has
already gathered considerable
amount of data on the subject. 1t is
the belief at the department that the
railroads will not be less sincere ir
complying with the law than the pack
ers. In fact it was stated recently tina
they have evinced a determination t.
cooperate with the department II
every way in order that only those
meat products which bear the govern
ment label shall find their way int
other than the states from which the,
were shipped.
