SEN. LODGE
WAS FUNNY
Senator From Bay State
Scores Meat Packers.
FLOOD OF TELEGRAMS
BEEF Amendment Bill in Senate
Calls Forth AntasOnism TO
Government Expense.

WASHINGTON, June n. - Senator
Proctor (Vt.) chairman of the commit
tee on agriculture, CALL up the agri-
cultural appropriation bill, which con-
tains the meat inspection amendment
substituted by the house for the Bev-
eridge amendment.
Mr. Proctor made humorous refer
ence to the activity Of the Chicago
meat packers in bombarding congress
with protesting kilograms.
"They are all in almost exactly the
same wording" said the senator, 'indi-
eating that they Were prepared by the
Chicago meat packers ana sent at
their suggestion Most Of them are
grammatically correct another proof
of their Chicago origa.
.''Ihey are not only packers of meat,
but packers of men as well, said Mr..
Proctor, 81; smg from the success they
they have had in rounding up people
to send kilograms"
Mr. Proctor opposed thehouse amend
ment proposing to put the cost of the
tax upon the government He asserted
that the packers ought to pay it,
Mr. Beveridge (Rep. Ind also OPP
posed tie house amendment He said
that the appropriation of $3,000.000 to
cover the cost of inspection was an UNI
warranted raid upon the treasury.
Mr. Lodge Rep,, Mass) created
amusement by saying that 1t might be
considered audaciOus for any senator
to speak on the meat amendment be
cause it had been stated that the house
bill had been settled between the house
committee and the president and that
there was really nothing left to be
said But I'll venture to submit a
few remarks in conformity with the
obligations imposed upon this senate
by that much discussed instrument
the constitution of the United States"
Mr. Lodge said that the packers
should be required to pay the expenses
Of the inspection. He insisted also that
canned goods should show upon the
label the date of manufacture.
1T may be as these amiabe gentle
men who do our packing tell US said
he, that meats that have been canned
for five years are as good as those re-
Gently put up, but if this he so why do
the packers object to putting the date
on The labelY
Mr. Lodge said that the conditions
in the United States were no worse
than they were in foreign countries.
Mr.. Lodge recalled that he had read
an interview with Nelson Morris of
! Chicago Il year or two ago, in which
the packer spoke contcmptuously Of
his sons literary inclinations and re-
marked that he could hire all the men
he wanted to write books; that his son
had more important business in the
line of pork packing.
Mr.. Lodge said that this was a fair
sample of the Chicago beef packing
spirit. 1t might be pleasant for them
now 10 reflect that their troubles had
been brought home to them by the
writing of a book.
Mr.. Lodge paid Il high tribute to the
makers of books and said they would
compare favOrably with the makers of
sausages. He declared that the coun.
try would never surrender its ideal to
hsensate greed He said the pack
ers were doing more to promote social
ism than any other agency.

Dredging for husband is a develop

Truth. A girl who occupies good po-
sition in society" and Is intelligent
soon discovers that the number of rich
bachelors of her own standing In life
is very limited, that most of them ara
almost captured already, and thai
many OF them will have little to d.
with her.
She then commences TO "dredge" the
be of the social stream Buried in the
gravel of this are many rich men, the
sous of still obscure financiers, manu-
tacturers or merchants, and careful
dredging often brings some of them
TO the surface. Then the connections
are generally cast back into the water,
and only the valuable elder son re-
tanned for use.
Dredging parties" have recently be.
come the rage. An expert "dredger'

necessary material in hotels on the
continent and in other directions. and
in the spring and summer gives a
series Of at homes to West End Gus
toners, charging commission on
each completed transaction

'dredged' bachelor, and becomes en-

The "dredsers" have hitherto mostly
been the divorced wives or widows OF
knights or baronets, but as the bust
ness is so remunerative many of the
best known women in London ara

duchess would be able to rake the so

can even a lady who has made one
reputation in Society by losing an
other in the divorce court.
