IRISH AGRARIAN LEGISLATION.

The progress of agrarian legislation
in a settled country like Great Britain
must be distinctly encouraging to
body like the Russian dOuma striving
to put the agriculture of the empire
upon basis of justice to the country
and the peasantry. Under pressure
liberal government has drafted and
brought into the house of commons a
bill which should go a long way to-
ward settling the economic Irish ques-
ton The measure which has been
fathered by James Bryce, the Irish
secretary, and to which the govern
ment stands committed, authorizes a
government loan of S22, 100000 for the
erection of laborers cottages. This sum
is to be given on the same terms as
the advance to tenant farmers under
the Wyndham land purchase cat. Mr..
Bryce estimates the average cost of
cottages at $3.50, so that the sum, with
other funds available, would, before
exhausted, build betN cen $4,000 and
10000 cottages.
The grievance of the Irish farmer is
a serious one He lives in sod house
unfit for human habitation and ekes
out a precarious living. Were it not
for annual excursions to England to
assist in reapng the harvest, his little
supply of money would be far below
the level of existence. The object of
the bill is to stay the tide of emigra-
ton and put Ireland on a self-sup-
porting basis, in which the tenant
farmer and the farm .laborer will be
able to live.
The Irish farm laborer, from the in
ception of the Parnell movement, has

Twas Jane All Right,

4 N old farmer was skeptical as to
"a whether people who were miles
apart could really talk to each
other over a telephone wire.
One day his wife went to make a WIS.,
it to a distant friend who had tele-
phone in her house. During the after
neon the farmer visited a near neigh
Dor who also boosted house telephone
and who persuaded the farmer to call
up his wife as little surprise.
Following instructions, he put the
receiver to his ear, and after the usual
prelminaries he shouted:
Hello, Janer'
Just then a flash Of lightning caused
by the heat Of the summer day struck
the wire, and he fell sprawAing to the
floor. The neighbor was chagrined
that the old man should meet with
such an accident on his first trial of a
telephone and assured him that such
q thing would not happen except in
case Of storms. But the farmer was
convinced of the possibilities of COM
munication, however. and would not
try again. He rose to his feet and,
shaking his head knowingly, said:

The Neill-Reynolds report on condi-
tons in the Chicago packing houses
may be disastrous to the meat in
dustry for a time, but what sane per-
son is going to lay the blame on them
for the harm done? Shall the condi
tons they expose, and which the pack
ers do not deny, be allowed to con-
tinue because to correct them will cost
the packers something? The people
who have made the mistake of their
lives are the packers in allowing these
reports to be made public. They ought
to have made all haste to accept COM
plete government inspection as soon
as the need of it was suggested. That
would probably have avoided the pub
licity from which they are now to suf-
fer, both in their domestic and their
foreign trade.

1t is rather discouraging to argue
with men who begin as the packers do,
with an evasion-a half truth which is
practically a whole lie. Their unsat-

sized by their falling back upon the
plea that the meat industry is being
threatened, that the president has ig-

this discussion. as in every other. The
president did not ignore it, but he
found the question to be whether he
should hush up this matter and save
the packers pockets, or should publish
it and save the peoples health. On this
phase of the square deal the president
can we'll afford to rest on the record
The pertinent part of the packers
statement is that they favor inspec-
tion If this is true, why do they net
go to Washington and demand inspec-
ton instead of flooding Washington
with kilograms against inspection? If
they are for inspection they must be
for inspection that inspects. There is
only one bill before congress that pro-
vides for that. 1t is the Beveridge
bill. The Wadsworth bill merely pro-
vides that the secretary Of agriculture
may, in his discretion, inspect. The
civilized world is not satisfied to leave
this to any ones discretion. 1t wants
it done, and will not be satisfied until
it is done.

THE PACKERS STATEMENT.

In their reply to the government re-
port, the packers but state the truth
when they say: 1.-The question raised
as to whether diseased meats are sold
by our packing houses is question on
which the whole world wants the facts
and the truth must be told"
This sounds like a promise of some
thing frank and clear on the part Of
the packers, but expectation is quickly
disappointed in the body of the state
ment The packers begin and end their
plea with the Iefense that the animals
slaughtered are first inspected by the
veterinarians of the agricultural de-
partment. "Tmis,' the packers de-
clare. lis an absolute fact Now, no
one who has read the presidents mes
sage and the government report, but
knows that this is only a relative fact.
The inspection before slaughter is ad-
mitted, but the Messrs. Neill and Rey-
nolds have carefully pointed out that
the killing of the animal is not the
end. The carcass passes through many
processes afterwards, and over these
the government has no supervision
whatever. On this point the presi-
denis agents say:
"The radical defect in the present
system of inspection is that it does
not go far enough. 1t is confined at
present by law to the passing upon
the healthfulness of the animal at the
time of killing. but the meat that is
used in sausage and various forms Of
canned products and other prepared
meat foods goes through many pro-
cesses, in all of which there is posi-
bility of contamination through I'M
sanitary handling and further danger
through the use of chemicals. During
all these processes there is no govern
ment inspection and no assurance
whatever that these meat-food pro-

the manager of the dodger had sue

Wilson was that the manager of the

who is looked upon as the friend and
champion of Senator Ankeny, to re-
tire from the field or in defeating him
at the election in July. Accordingly
strong effort was made by the apos-
tate editor to secure the nomination
of another man as the Ankeny can
didate under the promise made to him
that George Kellough would be pulled
off by the thirteen Boxers who
brought him into the race. That
scheme was circumvented by loyal
friends of Senator Ankeny, and Mayor
Hunt is a candidate for reelection. To
defeat him means that the little dOdger
will be subsidized by Wilson or Per-
kins or both and that 1t will work un-
ceasingly for the defeat Of Senator
Ankeny for reelection.

A MALICIOUS LIE NAILED.

The little evening dodger which is
straining every point to become sub
sidized Wilson or Perkins organ in Or
der that it may continue publication,
says that the First National bank die
tates the policy of the Evening States
man by reason of a loan of $4,000 to
that newspaper"
AS a story to this effect has been
maliciously circulated by certain Box
ers for several months. the manage
ment of the Statesman here and now
brands the story as a deliberate and
unqualified falsehood absolutely with
out foundation. The Statesman I'M
der the present management has not
borrowed a dollar from the First Ma
tional bank or any other bank The
Statesman meets its bills promptly
when due and its credit is first class
anywhere for anything it wants 1t
carries an account at the First Ma
tional bank, but it is conducted under
the same business rules as that of
any other business concern.
Equally false and malicious is a
story told by certain Boxers that the
Statesman has ever received any gift,
bonus or subsidy from the First Ma
tional Bank
Under the present management the
Statesman has been friendly to Sena-
tor Ankeny because it believes that it
is to the best interests of Walla WalIa
to support her representative in the
United States senate and to keep him
there as long as possible
The Statesman has upheld the
hands of Senator Ankeny just

thing else that would promote the

the little dodger to undermine Walla
