MOVEMENT A SUCCESS

tigation and may declare Their - no
truth in the report Of the government
officials, but jrst the same they are
whitewsshing, cleaning up, having the
floors scrubbed and doing other things
to make their places Of business LOOK
better pending the arrival Of a congress
sional committee, and it is a safe bet
no more lnmpyiawed cattle Will %
slaughtered until after congress al.
iourns. II was a good thing this ex-
nose. and the matter ought 70 nave
been aired years ago. The agitation
should be kept up and laws passed
compelling sanitation, and such laws
should be rigidIy enforced until eleanli
ness is obtained in the handling Of
meat products.
Although the sentiment Of the entire
country. with the exception OF the
packers themselves, is with the presi-
dent in his attempt to obtain pure food
for the people we note one discordant
note; that of frank J. Hagenharth, OF
Reno. Utah, Colorado and other places,
who finds a ready vehicle in which to
transport his ideas in that wonderfully
conducted paper called the Herald, OF
Salt Lake The Herald is an alleged
Democratic paper, and anything tend
ing TO discrcdit the president ~ eagerly
seized upon ard paraded before the
country as the correct dope. Hence Mr..
H~apenbarth' 4 ebulition is given the
,nult;nle ception: HGreat. Industry
struck Down. Vital Blow Dealt West
crn Livestock Interests by President
Roosevelt Mr.. Hagenbarth finds fault
with Mr.. Roosevelt for making pubic
the report Of the special inspectors, be-
cause it's publication will damage the
livestock industry. In q perfect
diarrhoea Of language he berates the
document until the last can Of rotten
meat was sold, the last lumpy-jawed
ateer manpled into hash and other
thinned products. incidentally 1t may
no stated that the most casual reader
can DISCERN that Mr.. H~agenbarth was
cognizant of the conditions prevailing,
for he criticises the chief magistrate
for 'sgiving the stockmen a stone when
they asked for bread he severely
criticises Roosevelt for running an IN
dustry and scolds like an old woman
because a foreign market is destroyed.
He also apologies for the vile and dirty
methods of the butchers Of Chicago by
pleading tina killing animals is not a
nice business at best.
Summed up the conclusions reached
by Mr.. Hagenbarth are that no matter
how vile the character of the business,
nothing ought TO be said lest a market
be destroyed. There is no other result
that can be arrived at.
We feel like saying to Mr.. Hagen
barth that he should not work Let
him possess his perturbed soul in pa
thence. While it is true the foreign
market has received a jolt as a result
of the disclosures made, it is ali right
and proper that such a condition shoaid
have been brought about. Just as soon
as the foreign buyer is convinced that
clean and healthy methods are m
ployed in the killing and dressing OF
animals, trade will he restored. The
people of other countries want meat
and they are going TO have meat. The
American consumer ~ going to demand
INST such meat as he formerly did, and
perhaps the local butcher will get a
show for his white alley. This tusiness

urge with all the energy at cur com
