the necessity Of inspecting and controlling the
output of milk, together with the Willingness OF
citizens TO pay for this work, it is strange indeed
that New York City has been left to organize
its own corps OF inspectors in the face OF the
steady hypocriticaI opposition of certain local
politicians, while most other towns have been
forced to content themselves with a few local
inspectors at the milk depots
Perhaps state inspection has not been estab-
lished anywhere because the system of municipal
inspection has not yet been applied extensively
enough by large number of adjacent towns to
reveal the futile and costly duplication of labor
and officials it involves. New York City. itself
a leader in the campaign for rural inspection of
It's milk supply, has thus far installed only a
small corps of officials for this work But II
the metropolis. Philadelphia. Boston and the
other cities in this section of the country were
to send out an adequate number of milk in
spectGrs there would be n dozen inspectors
stationed at each of many dairy districts. And
the supervision would be no better. and per-
haps worse than if done by a single state in
Spector. 1t is fortunate. then. that the strug-
gle for state supervision of the distributing cen
tres has begun before the cities have built up
huge burdensome bureaus of their own. This
ought 10 make it easier for the health author
tiles to secure the much needed corps of state
inspectors who will protect from the ravages of
bad milk not O2ly the large cities hut also thou
sands of small communities too poor TO watch
all their milk cans and bottles every day.
New-York tribune., 1907-10-14
STATE CONTROL OF MILK.

The views expressed by Health Commissioner
Darlington at Atlantic City recently concern.
ing methods Of milk inspection should meet
with the approval Of everybody who is inter
ested in securing the purest milk at the lowest
cost and with the least trouble Addressing the
New Jersey State Sanitary Society on ''The
Ideal Milk Of the Future" Dr. Darlington de-
clared:
So far as safeguarding the supply Of milk In the
rural districts is concerned, the states should
have undisputed control This would take a great
burden from the cities. But the cties should have
the power TO determine conditions under which
be produced. AS an example, New York CITY
draws its supply from 10000 dairies and COO
creameries situated in six states, New York
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut Massa :
chusetts and Vermont. The haul is from 25
miles to 400 miles. The complexity of the
problem OF control can be seen from these prem
ises. Food adulteration be controlled by
the fact that it is for immediate use, can be
safeguarded only by the local authorities.
Until there can be absolute control
among the states 1t will be necessary for the
cities to do so [regulate productionl. The cities
should not be compelled to go to this expense
but ii will be necessary for them to do SO until
the states take the matter up in a compre-
hensive way
IL every city, to protect itself against dis
ease. must send inspectors to every region fur
nshing it with milk the result will be pure
milk at needlessly great expense and multipli-
cation Of officials In view of the long standing
accord among town and stats health oaaaas1s q

THE 1907 ELECTIONS.

The state elections TO be held next month are
few in number and of relatively little impor
tance. New York is to choose two judges of the
Court Of Appeals, and the Republican and Dem
ocratic parties have nominated the same ju-
dical ticket. Massachusetts is 70 elect a Gov
ernOr and other state officers. and in view of the
fact that the Democratic party has two tickets
in the field and the Independence League, which
co-operated last year with the Democrats, has
also named a ticket Republican success seems
overwhelmingly assured Rhode Island elected
Democratic Governor last fall. He has been
renominated, and his Republican rival will
doubtless have a hard fight, owing to the wide
spread dissatisfaction which exists with the
states antiquated and inefficient form OF gov
ernment WHICH the Republican party Is charged
with being overslow in renovating. The state
offices below Governor are conceded 70 the Re
publicans
New Jersey is to elect a Governor, and the
success Of the Republican candidate, J. Franklin
Fort, is highly probable. In the fight for Con-
gressmen last year there was almost an even
division in voting strength between the two
parties. Pennsylvania is to choose d Treasurer,
and as there is no fusion Of opposition elements
this year the success of the Republican candi-
date is beyond question. Maryland votes for
Governor and other state officials The Repub-
lican ticket, headed by George R, Gather, has
the support Of an independent element and
close fight is indicated Mississippi will go
through the form of rstifying the choice for
state officers made in August at the Democratic
state primary. In Kentucky, where a Governor
and other state officers are to be chosen, lively
campaign is in progress. Republicanism is MAX

there is some hope Of the election OF Augustus
E. Wilson who heads the Republican ticket.

New-York tribune., 1907-10-14

Surely Mr.. KatZenbach does not mean to pose
the arbiter and censor Of public curiosity and
interest and TO dictate to the people OF New
Jersey what they shall and what they shall not
think about and talk about.
The fact is of course that it is all poppycOck
TO pretend that the Sunday opening question
would be dragged into the campaign" by MI
KatZenbach's speaking upon It. What troubles
Mr.. Katzenbach is not the danger Of dragging it
in. but the impossibility Of dragging it out Inc
issue was there, looming large and portentous'
at the very outset of the campaign, long before
he was nominated at the Smith & Davis con-
ventiOn. 1t must be met. Mr.. Fort has met IL
with signal frankness, dlrectness and courage.
If Mr.. Katzenbach does not do the same ana
do it speedily. the people will conclude that 1t
is because he does not dare to. The time for a
candidate to define his attitude toward the issues
of the campaign. and especially toward the issue
which the people. whether rightly or wrongly
insist upon putting foremost, is before Election
Day, not after it. The proper time 10 discuss
campaign issues is during the campaign not nj

New-York tribune., 1907-10-14
NR. KATZEyBACH AND THE ISSUES.

Mr. Katzenbach, the Democratic candidate for
The Governorship OF New Jersey, was publicly
asked at Chatham the other day to declare him
self on the excise question and particularly on
the question Of the Sunday opening Of drinking
places. BE, smiling, put the question by with
the remark that he would crafty that desire
some other time. The Sunday opening question
was not, he thought, the chief issue In this cam
paign, and if it were dragged into the cam
paign at this time" It would in his Judgment
overshadow other issues which are more impor-
taDt Therefore he postponed It TO a more con-
venient season.
MI hatZenbach may be right on one point
We rather think be IS. That Is, that there are
more important issues before the people of New
Jersey than that of excise. For our part we
are inclined 10 think the excise question is so
well settled now that the state can do nothing
better than 10 let 1t remain settled Just as it is
and we should certainly have to regard as most
unfortunately misguided any citizen of that
state who should ignore all other issues and
vote 10 turn the interests of the state topsytrvy
just because he disagreed with his neighbor on
the momentous question whether the shades OF
n harroom window shall be up or down ON Sum
day.
But then, since the excise question is in his
opinion, so comparatively unimportant why is
Mr.. hatzenbach So dreadfully afraid of IN WHY
not declare himself upon it at once and dismiss
H. and SO clear the field for the discussion of
the other more weighty matters? And how In
tHe world could his speaking OF 1t magnify it
into undue proportions? We should think n
would nave just the contrary effect. So long az
he does not define bis attitude toward It people
are pound to speculate upon IL, and thus TO ex-
plolt IT. to the neglect Of the other issues of the
campaign Ii he would only speak out plainly
uey might be satisfied and LET IL dron and turn
their attention to other things. But fhev s,,re,,,
WIN not DO SO until he has spoken. So If he
really does not want the other issues overshad.
o~eo oy the Sunday opening question he had
better speak out at once.
on tne other hand, if-despite its theoretical
OF hatzenbachian inferiority to other issues-
the people Of the state insist rpon magn,sr,n,
lne sunday opening question, and want to hear
aoout It more than anything else, 1t would cor.
.ainls seem TO be the duty Of candidate who &C.
s'nat'ns their votes to grant their desire
New-York tribune., 1907-10-14

ers would esteem it great good fortune TO be
assured Of incomes as large as those Of skilled
artisans.
1t might be pertinently suggested that the
trade unions, if they do not approve of indus
trial schools founded and directed by corpora
tions. might themselves well establish a sys-
TEN of them. which would not be 'scab hatch
cries. but would produce graduates devoted
to the cause of organized labor. They would
thus secure an ample succession OF recruits for
their own ranks and would gain much prestige
by demonstrating their desire for high class
workmanship as we'll as for high wages. IL
all union workmen were graduates of efficient
trade schools. employers would be more ready
to engage them, and would generally prefer
them to non-union men who were not so we'll
trained and so competent. In the last analysis
of the competition for industrial supremacy the
natural advantages of place and resources will
fail. and OF course the protection of n tariff
cannot avail within the limits of the same
country, and the greatest success will come to
those who are best educated and best trained
and are therefore the most competent work
