CANADIAN TRADE
! WITH The ORIENT
Japanese Consul General Spurs
the Northwest to It's Trade
Possibilities.

Special to The Journal.
Winnipeg, Man, May 25.-tsI be
lieve that the development Of the
northwest will depend much upon
the extension Of Canadian trade
with the ORIENT said T. G..
Nesse,, the Japanese consul gen
eral in Canada, last night. "The
American commercial policy is more
progressive than that of Canada. The
Americans export to Japan in wheat
alone to the extent of $6,0OO,000 annu'
ally, against Canada IS small $250,000.
tThere is a fine market in Japan fol
Canadian flour. The Japanese. are be
coming more English and are beginning
to use more -four instead of rice. The
prospects for Canadian flour are all
the brighter, especially as the United
States will not be able to supply us
with so much as heretofore. ~
It simply amounts to this,' added
Mr.. Nosse, "the Americans were first il
the field, and can certainly deliver thei1
goods cheaper than Canada. It is only
within the last three years that Japar
has been importing Canadian -four.
The consul secuted with scorn Thu
rumored invasion of Australia BY
Japan. "Why,' he. said, eve arr

Wholesale hurderers.

Some time ago Mr. Sinclair
wrote a book, The Jungle, which
is a novel, but contains a whole
lot of stunning pictures of the
conditions in the Chicago pack
ing houses. The President read
this book and was deeply impress
sed by it. He brought the mat
ter to Secretary Wilson'S atten-
ton, who sent a commission of
investigation, but the President
went further and sent Messrs. J.
B, Reynolds, a prominent social
worker, and Charles P. Neil. the
Commissioner of Labor. to per-
sonally look into matters for him.
They made an oral report of the
conditions that they discovered
aid these were horrifying. If pub
lished they would injure the meat
business frightfully and the Pres
ident, calling some of the pack
e's to him, pointed this out to
item, telling them that if the
matter was made public it would
ruin their business at home and
abroad. The packers were not
slow to recognize the force of
what he said, and agreed to &C
cept any sort of an inspection law
that he could have formulated.
The result was an inspection
law put as a rider on the Agri-
cultural appropriation bill and
passed by the Senate without a
word of discussion, and it will 90
through the house in the same
way. Heretofore the inspection
has stopped at the gates of the
packing houses, but hereafter
every piece of meat will be fol-
lowed clear to the can or the
refrigerator.
On top of this, recent magazine
articles have attempted to show
that the big packing plants are
conducted in a most unsanitary
manner and that condemned cat
tie, full of disease and rotteness

are being sold to the public for
good meat. This has stirred up
the people more than ever and is
now having a most serious effect
upon the foreign trade.
Chicago meat will be barred
out of France if the object of the
League of Public Hygiene, back
ed by several score of French
packers, can be attained. The
league expects at least to get the
government to inaugurate a new
system of inspection, which will
prevent tainted meat from enter
ing the country.
This murderous exposure has
already lessened the demand
in this country, as it is claimed
that the most diseased carcasses
are canned for home consump-
ton.

Perjury.

When the English princes mar
ried the Gar of all the Russias,
she renowned her own religion
and swore allegiance to the Greek
church.
The bride of the Spanish king
was presbyterian in Scotland,
a member Of the State church in
England, and to marry a king
has become a catholic. But this
a disregard for truth in reli-
gion and the church is not con-
fined to Mrs. Nicholas, Mrs.
Alfonso and Mrs. Ananias, nor
to their sex alone. Men of high
standing in the church have not
only become tolerant of perjury
but have themselves shown an
utter disregard for truth and
veracity, of which their testimony
in the recent investigations of
the trusts is in evidence. There
have been exhibited some of the
most monumental exhibitions of
perjury, on the part of men If
nigh standing as gentlemen, that
the world has ever seen. Wit
neSseS raise their right hand to-
ward heaven while they tiippantly
take upon themselves the oath to
tell the truth, the whole truth.
and nothing but the truth; and
than, in response to question af-
ter question put to them as to
their own actions. they SmiIingly
answer, Il don't remember, " Il
do not know. "
And ministers of the gospel of
the New Testament have soft
ened toward these high toned per-
iurers, and have not dared to
look them in the face and boldly
declare that all liars shall have
their part in the lake which bur-
meth with fire and birthstone.

No More Enthanasia.

Iowa is twenty centuries be-
hind the present age; the Legis-
ture of that state having intro
duced a bill requiring physicians
to end human life where there
is great suffering and death is
certain to result, and also to de-
stroy idiotic or deformed infants.
The advocate of this bill claim
that this course is actually fol-
lowed in many of the large hos
pitfalls of this country, so that the
bill will only legalize an existing
practice.
This measure will never be-
come popular. The press of this
country generally condemns it,
and hospital physicians, east and
west, deny that such a course is
followed in any regular hospital
the United States.
The SplrtanS, over two thou
sand years ago, made this in
human practice legal, but only
for a brief time, And Iowa will
never be able to revive it.
History records the lives of
physically imperfect men and
women for whose imperfections
there was no remedy, whose
words and deeds have blessed the
world and made their names i'm
mortal. The legislature of Iowa
will never sanction that bill.
