Emily Emmerson Lantz. in an advanced
and very comprehensive article on the
association itself. and as relating to Mary
land women, says of the latter:
THE idea of equal rights Is no new
one In Maryland. AS early as colonial
days, Governor Lenoard Calvert granted
to his fair knswoman, Mistress Margaret
brent, wide-spreading lands in Mary
grants to every man the right of Worship
ping his God as he wishes; we boast of
your liberty and freedom ana are proud
that We lead the way In the right lead 1t
in this likewise build wisely grant US
justice and let the woman who hath
equal risks with We in this new province
have an equal voice in the government,
else Is your boast as idle wind. Yet
when the question had put to vote Mar
garet Brent stood defeated
Yes, perchance seemingly defeated
yet who knows but to that proud woman
who-her request ungranted, went her
quiet way-mny be due the wise laws of
Maryland that shelter and protect q wo-
man in her weakness far beyond the
rights" accorded to a man in his
Stiuib EIAS II HtluTulf consequence OF
such protecting laws the equal rights
movement has developed more slowly
in Maryland than elsewhere. since should
they obtain rights women might feel
constrained in common justice to forego
the far more valuable privileges accorded
them. Maryland is a very, very comforta-
bic State for women or anybody else to live
in" said a lady native of another State,
who has rellnquished some municipal
rights in her own birthplace to make
Baltimore, her home. and her otserva-
ton is true.
Hence tho steadily increasing interest
in Maryland In the equal rights moves
ment, which is an undouhted fact Is
purely unselfsh on the part OF the wo-
men of Maryland, and its object Is more
from the standpoint of desire to be truly
helpful In municipal affairs than from any
particular wish to hold Jointly with men
the reins of government.

NELL REPORT PUBLISHED

After some consideration of the wis
dom Of publishing the Neill report and
yielding to the public clamor Of all
sections Of the country for knowl-
edge of its contents, the President
sent message TO Congress transmit
ting it for the consideration of the
national legislature. The story as
told by the Neill report shows revolt
ing conditions in number Of the
packing houses and in many cases
upholds all of tie stories told in the
Sinclair novel. The Neill committee
did not consider aflidavits Of wit
nesses to any great extent in arriv-
ing at is conclusions, but paid more
attention rather to conditions rs wit
messed y the three members of the
committee. The message of President
Roosevelt that submitted the report
characterized the conditions found by
the Investigators as revolving" and
;,rGed immediate legislation .'in the
interests of health and decency" He
not only recommends the passage of
the so-called BeveridGe amendment to
the agricultural appropriation bill but
threatens to destroy the foreign busi-
ness Of the packers should congress
fail to provide for federal inspection
OF meats at all stages Of preparation.
IN the event Of such failure, the Presi-
Gent says that he will De compelled

certificates on canned products shall

house concerns voluntarily offered to
defray the cost involved.
CONSUMER PAYS COST ANYWAY.
1t is stated that. of course. the pack

ton along to the consumer: but as it
will only amount to about . or cents

and thus make an investment of many
hundred per cent. off the amount
which they pay for the Government
inspection.
HOW THE TROUBLE BEGAN.
Some time ago Upton Sinclair pub
lished 1.-The Jungle 1t was novel
and horrible. 1t showed that the in
spection service at the Chicago pack
ing houses was wholly inadequate. 1t
was proved that the Government in
spectors passed on the conditions of
the carcasses when the animals were
killed; but after that there We're no
inspections and the conditions were
Incredibly revolving. Presto mt Roose-
welt read the book. and is stated to
have been outraged at the statements
made. Were they true or We're they
exaggerated? He made some inquiri s
and found that the statements We're all
well founded. Then he was genuinely
angry. Secretary Wilson sent com
mission out TO look into the condition
of affairs, but the President was ap-
parently not satisfied with the Govern
ment commission, so he sent his close
personal friend, Mr.. J. Il. Reynolds, n
prominent social worker and n man Of
means, and Mr.. Charles T.. Neill, the
United States Commissioner Of Labor.
on purely personal Inspection tour.
The expenses of the two investigators
were paid by the Government. but the
men received no salaries and the in
quiry was, in way, unofficial.
There has never yet been any writ
ten report made public from these two
Investigators; likely there will not be;
but the President knows all they
found out, and the packers know II
too. Both the President and the
packers were Mortified; the reasons
were different. The story around the
Capitol regarding this investigation
runs something like this: The packers
said, '.If this sort of Il story gets out
1t will ruin our business abroad" The
President remarked in effect. .If II
that l know gets out, it will ruin
your business at home too
"Now," said the packers, make any

Senator Rcveri'l'-c presented rad
ical amendment to the agricultural ap'
preparation bill the otner day which
was passed promptly. Back of the
ease and celebrity with which this ac-
tion was accomplished is a story. 1t
is an interesting one too, for it shows
how the President for once, at least,
was able TO hold the big stick over the
Senate. and the great packing inter-
cSts and forced the amendment With
which he was in accord.
The rider that was tackled on to the
ST.SOO.O0O appropriation bill in the
Senate at the last moment without
discussion. provides for the same sort

consumption that is provided for those
which are sent abroad. 1t will cost

eral million dollars each. year, for
they will have to pay for the inspec-
ton. When the question came up be-
fore Congress as to who should as
sumo the expense of this work the
packing house lobby objected siren
uously to putting up any money for it.
notwithstanding the fact that some

out scandal if it can be, but with
scandal if it must. He recognized that
there We're many innocent interests
which would be severely damaged by
the publication of this report. What
he was after principally was results
for the future.
There is another peculiar feature
which is having some weight in the
ease with which the inspection law
gets past what would ordinarily be an
almost inSurmountable barrier. 1t
seems that Mr.. Sinclair is writing an
other book. 1t will be more damaging
than the Jungle. 1t is to be an expose
of the whole packing business from
the report of the "Embalmed Beef
Commission" down to the present time
and the combination of official docu
ments and statements of eye wit
nesses. When this book appears the
packers are very anxious - be able
to say that the practices alluded to
therein are thing of the past "and
that no such conditions can exist un-
der the present Government inspec-
tion.'
The new act provides an inspection

Commenting on the question of the
constitutionality of the amendment If
it should become law. in that it in

Government official remarked that in
any event the packers could be forced

the Government inspection tag is
looked upon as guarantee. and with
out ii foreign meat trade would suffer
inestimahly. Should the packers re-
fuse to allow the Government to in
spect food for home consumption, the
Government could in its turn refuse
to inspect meats for export.

There is some antagonism presented
to the bill in the House. on the
grounds of constitutionallity and other
excuses, but if any actual opposition
should develop it will mean thor

sides of the question and it Is pre-

the packers actually desire.
Seldom, If ever, has the public been
more aroused over any public question.
