Protecting Beef
Packers.

A press dispatch from Chicago
reports that "the President does
not deem the new meat-inspection
bill watertight." Nor is that the
worst of it, for the same dispatch
says: "Under the new regulations
the packers lose that which is
declared unfit. If a more rigid ex-
animation is made before the cat
tie are shipped or offered for sale
much of this loss would not fall on
the packers" Secretary Wilson
is in Chicago to arrange for close
inspection of cattle at points of
shipment. This can only mean
that the Administration is trying
to prevent loss to the Beef Pack
ers and throw the burden>on the
farmers, but it would seem that
the packers are amply protected
for they are not compelled to buy
cattle that are not in good condi-
ton when they arrive at the stock
yard. The farmers and stockrais-
ers should insist on square deal,
and that the Administration carry
out the law fairly and not attempt
to protect the packers, who are
quite able to care for their own In
| tereSts.

Editor CoJdr Chronicle:
| drop you line to congratulate
you on your issue of last Saturday.
1t was splendid edition, and re-
fleets credit on the editor and force,
and is something that every citizen
of the parish should feel proud of.
Let me personally thank you for
publishing the speech of Mr.. Bry-
an. His trumpet sounds no uncer-
tain note, and shows clear per-
ception of the situation.
The village of Simms moves
along smoothly, the mill running
steadily every day. We around
here are proud of our little town,
for it is one of the quietest and
best on the Iron Mountain rail-
road. We have a noble and gener-
GUS hearted people from the mill
owners on down clear through to
every hand that works here.
Our school commences Monday
18th, and there will be a large en-
T ,llmert.
Yesterday was registration day,
and a large number came up and
registered.
The farmers are thoroughly
aroused and we have Aourishing
union here at Gates school house.
Our lecturer, Mr.. Jasper Boyette,
made US rousing speech recently,
and as a result 81 new members
were added to our ranks.
Please let me make q correction
in regard to the protracted meet
ing of which you so kindly gave
notice. The meeting was held
with Pleasant Hill church, near
Pollock, and not Friendship. II
was their annual protracted meet
ing. 1t ran two weeks, closing on
Sunday. At the morning service
the total number baptized was
twenty-three. Also some twelve
were received by restoration and
letter. The meeting was conduct
ed by the pastor, Elder T. J.
Smith, assisted by a number OF
ministers, notably Elders Robin
son, Westberry, Adams, A. j.
Smith and others. This is said to
be the best meeting held here for
years, and the revival wave swept
everything before it. The deport-
ment of the people was 80 extra
good as to call forth comment from
all. "This is the Lords work, and
marvellous in our eyes"
And now, Mr.. Editor, goodbye;
but before. / close, realizing that
praise is good, but little of the
needful is better, / herewith en-
close the subscription price OF
two subscribers, and my advice to
2
every reader of the faithful, punct-
