Effect of the New Meat Law.

One highly important result of the
new laws regulating the meat packing
business may already be seen in the
tendency to keep more stock. 4 am

leading farmer says; and the argu-
ments he uses are these: More pork.
beef and mutton will be eaten here
after. Folks are satisfied now that the
packers will send out only good, pure
meat. and they will use it freely. Some
one must grow the cattle to make this
meat. We might as we'll all have a
hand in it, Not that all should drop
everything else and put the eggs all
into the meat-growing basket; if we did
that there would be a big crash. but we
can keep more stock and make it pay.
And this is a sensible view to take of
the matter. It will mean better times
for farmers all over the country.

Too much reliance is placed on the

REPORTS ON CANAL
CHAIRMAN OF HOUSE COMMITTEE
RECENTLY RETURNED.
CAN Be COMPLETED IN FIVE YEARS
Needs More Railroad Capacity to Take
Care of the Dirt Now Be-
ing E~xcavated.

Washington, D. C.-Chairman Taw-
ney of the house committee on
appropriations, and Representative
Olcott, who have recently returned
from a visit to the isthmus of Panama,
Thursday discussed with the president
conditions as they found them. Mr..
Tawney is ~favorably impressed with
the progress being made in the canal
work and told the president he thought
at the present rate the waterway
should be completed in five years. He
said he regarded it as unfortunate
that the engineering world had been
representing to the people an almost
impossible engineering problem con-
fronting 1t. The principal conditions
now to be met, he said, were those of
sufficient railroad capacity to take
care of the dirt ex~cavated, and santa
ton with the view to keeping the place
in a good healthful condition.
Mr.. Tawney also discussed with the
president questions affecting congress
sional appropriations for canal work
and it is likely some legislation bear
ing on the subject will be recommend
ed to congress as a result of the visit
to the isthmus.

The Music of Man and Birds.

If the discovery of independent v o
lutions of human music all tending in
the same direction indicates the exist.
ence of an ideal standard toward
which progress leads, how much
stronger is the evidence afforded by
the fact that bird music is developing
along the same lines? 1t seems a far
cry from a Beethoven symphony or a
Wagnerian opera to the simple lay OF
a sparrow, but as we trace the course
of the mighty river of music back to-
ward it's source, the stream becomes
and narrower, until it is con-
tracted to a point where 1t is no
broader than the little rill of bird
music, says Henry Oldys in Harper's
Magazine. Nor does the decrease
stop there; for, remarkable as it may
seem, there was a time when the
music from which ours has been
evolved was inferior to some of that
which floats to u ears from the
woods of spring. This is not to say
merely that the songs of certain OF
the birds involve more intervals and
greater variety, but that they are OF a
higher order judged by III W mod
ern standards.

Mr.. STEADIN PULPIT
SAYS AMERICA HAS GREAT oP-
PoRTuNiT!Es AT THE HAGUE.
UNITED STATES OF THE WORLD"
Has Interesting Programme Outlined
for the Delegates to the Confer
ence from All Quarters.

New York, N. Wv. T. Stead
occupied the pulpit in the Plymouth
church, Brooklyn, Sunday night and
set forth his views as to the oppor-
tunities which was afforded to Amer
leans by the coming Hague confer
ence OF rousing other nations to a
sense of the Importance Of making
definite and immediate progress to-
ward the ideal described by the phrase
the United States os the World" He
urged that at the coming peace con
vention twelve representative Amer
lean men and women should be Sc
lected as the neucleus of the pilgrim
age Of peace. These persons would
then appeal to the American people
for their Endorsement by public meet
ings or signed memorials. Armed
with this evidence of national sup
port, they would in the first case go
as a deputation to the president and
to the secretary of state, asking them
to instruct their delegates at The
Hague to support the above program.
Then they would approach the British
ambassador, informing him Of their
intention to start at once for England
in order to appeal to the British peo-
pie for their support in pressing
their requests upon the king and his
ministers.
No Doubt of Proper Reception.
Mr.. Stead said there was no doubt
that they would receive an I'VE
whelming popular reception in
Britain, where the ground already had
been prepared. At London they would
be joined by four pilgrims from each
Of tina three Scandinavian countries
and the Americans and Scandinavians,
together with twelve British pilgrams,
would present their petition to the
king st buckingham palace and to his
ministers in Downing street. The 3G
pilgrims would then cross over to
Paris. The same thing would be re-
peated there. Receptions by the pres
ident of the republic and his ministers,
the municipality and the chamber of
commerce would afford ample demon
stration Of the loyalty of France to
the principle of fraternity. The pill
grims now swollen to As by the adop-
ton of IL French pilgrims, would
pick UP others at Geneva and then
go on to Rome. From Rome the pill
grims, now 62 in number, would go
to Russia, and sc would arrive at Ber-
lin, SO would reach Brussels and then
ITO would finally round up at The
Hague to present their petition to the
conference, which is to assemble on
June 1.
Mr.. Stead said that the idea had
been received with enthusiasm in Eu-
rore.

Biq Offering for Missions.

Rev. DR.. James I. Vance, pastor Of
the North Reformed church, Newark,
N. J., would not let the fiftieth ami
versary of that congregation, which is
the largest of the denomination in the
country, go by without making 1T a
blessing, not only to the members, but
to the Reformed church at large and
the Christian world in general. He
accomplished this by calling for a col
.ection toward the $500, 900 asked for
his year by the board of foreign mis-
sions of the Reformed church. The
result was that on the Golden Jubilee
Sunday, December Is, $4,000 was
placed in the collection.

The Automobile and Better Roads.

Automobiling has given the good
roads movement a great impetus. 1t
has brought into it men from the
cities who were never far from a
paved street until they began to travel
around in their autos. They are now
the backbone of the movement. The
farmers have learned a lot on the sub
ject and they are joining hands with
the men who once had their most cor
dial enm;ty. They are not only with
them on the road question, but they
are even recognizing the fact that the
automobile is a very useful vehicle.
With good roads connecting the mar
kets and the farms there is no reason
why automobile transportation for the
produce of the land may not soon fol-
low, says Pittsburg Leader. Auto
trucks are in use in all large cities
for heavy hauling and if farmers have
roads with bottoms to them they will
soon begin to take advantage of that
very efficient means of transportation.

In the 10 years SINCE the interstate
commerce commission began the col
lection of facts about accidents, near
ly 5000 passengers, over $4,000 en-
ployes and nearly 10000 other persons
have been killed on American rail
ways, and nearly 1000, 900 more have
been crippled or MANNED, scalded or
crushed, disfigured or ~invalided; and
we still make no protest. For a coun-
try that has pride in itself and it's
progress" this seems to me a humili-
ating situation, observes Carl Snyder
in Everybody's. But the still more hui
initiating fact is that conditions grow
worse year by year. In 1905 it was
twice as dangerous to travel on a rail
way train or to work for a railway
company in the United States as it
was in 1895.
