THE DUTY oE The CITY.

An incident to point the moral Of
strict inspection of dairy herds sup
plying milk indiscriminately to city in
habitants aud of animals sold to be
slaughtered for food, as urged time and
again by the T.-R.. occurred at Des
Moines yesterday when Stale Veter
marian koto and his assistant killed a
dozen head of cattle of which the
greater part had responded to the tu-
berculin test. The owner of the ami
mails doubted the accuracy of the test
and suggested that the fentire herd be
butchered and a complete examination
made. This was done and the nine
which had responded to the tuberculin
We're found to have been in horrible
condition. Three which had withstood
the test were found to have been
healthy and fit for human uses.
Secretary Thomas of the beard of
health says:
The various municipalities should
provide for local system of food in
spection and the licensing of dairies
and slaughter houses. Stringent reg
ulations should be adopted requiring
that all cows used for dairy purposes
shall be submitted to the tuterculin
test, and that the meat of slaughtered
animals be inspected under a system
similar to that adopted by the federal
government when possible A compe-
tent veterinarian should be appointed
as Inspector. Private slaughter houses
schould be abolished and in lieu there
of, each municipality erect and MAIN
tain sanitary building properly
equipped with modern conveniellces so
arranged that each local butcher can
be accommodated with reparate
slaughter room at nominal rental The
regulations should prescribe that all
animals, the meat Of which is to be
used for human food, shall be
slaughtered and inspected in the local
under federal inspection.
Regulations defining the sanitary ar
rangement and inspection of dairies
should likewise be adopted and prop
erly enforced. The local board of health
should also require that all persons
engaged in the handling, manufacture
or preparation of meat and dairy COM
modities should produce satisfactory
proof that they are free from tuber-
culosis, syphilis and other con- muni-
cable diseases.
This is in effect what the Times Re
publican has for years been urging as
an ordinary and sensible precaution.
Serious danger turks in the unclean
milk can, thrives in the unsa nitary
dairy and the milk and flesh of tuber-a
culous cows. The danger of smallpox
becomes insignificant beside the deadly
germ factories that show no yellow
quarantine flag of warning. Inspect
the dairy herds. 1t is the duty of the
city.

Asueeesr,os FOR THE NEW EDUCATION

new suggestion in technical edu-
cation is worth thinking over carefully,

Something about the plan looks
good. To be sure there are many dit
fculties in the way Of success of such
school but under the right kind OF
management it might prove success
full and if so, would go far toward the
, solution of some of the problems char
ity has found difficult. 1t might be
hard to convince the manufacturer that
he could get work done as he wants 1t,
in the manual school, the income OF the
school would be largely dependent on
the Industrial situation and the activi-
sty of the factories, and the output OF
student labor is not so easily figured
upon as that of men working for
livelihood. 1t is not unlikely that un-
ion laborers who do the work it is
proposed to turn over to students
would offer strenuous opposition and
as the students come largely from the
families of these men their opposition
would embarrass the school and go far
to reducing it's student body.

A BLIND MANS CAREER.

the duty that he believed he owed the
country for comforting citizenship up

privilege. but his duty.
The common cry of the day is "Oh,
there's no chance for me: things are
so crowded. and about all that a man
can be is to labor along: the lands
have been practically taken up: the
trusts are shutting out individual en-
deavor.' and there is little chance for
q man to rise unless he has friends to
boost him With the development

should not suffer the substitution of
love of animals for love of dolls. the
latter of which in the fulness of its

Virninia,a WaLaome-1eo7.

Her flaming fcstal flags unfurled
And gates thrown open wide.
The Old Dominion greets the world
With friendship, JOY and pride.
Size calls upon the stately hosts.
The children of her line,
And bids them yield devotion at
The nations sacred shrine.
No stint is IN the mothers heart
No check upon her hand,
No d!scord in the greeting note
or welcome to her strand.
Virginia knows them for her own
BY every ancient sign.
BY race. by creed by tongue, by flag
And heritage divine.
Open lies the seward way,
Open lies the land,
Open is Virginia's heart.
And open is her hand.
And by these symbols will she claim
Her children. kin and kith-

BY gallant Captain Smith!

TWO POOR MOVES.

When a farmer of middle age and in
good health finds that he has got the
place paid for and begins to consider
the advisability of renting the $50 and
knowing to town. he contemplates g.
bad move. There is no more pitiful
sight than that of an active man still
! full of days works and energy who
/ has moved from the busy activity of
the farm to retirement without labor
in the city. He does not know what
Ito do with himself. His income and
Opportunities are both abridged. When
he bitches up and drives out to the
farm the renter is not doing things as
they should be done. He sees broken
board here and there, the lawn is
grown up. to grass and the pigs are
roofing up grass plot that had al
ways been taboo to pigs. An air of
carelessness pervades. The man who
{ IS cunning the place is going to leave
next year and is preparing to leave as
little and take as much as his con-
tract permits when he goes. He comes
away worrying. When he goes down
town everyone is busy and he is more
/ lonesome in the crowd than he ever
was alone in the back forty on the
farm. Perhaps in two or three years
he learns to live in town. Perhaps he
gets back on the farm as soon as the
renters term is out In either case he
IS sorry he moved. II he goes to the
farm he falls back into the happy fash
ion Of previous years and reads his
paper, answers the phone and sees
that the hired man keeps up to the
mark His content with the farm is
beautiful to see and he usually stays
there until he takes his last ride to
the cemetery.
Another bad move the Iowa farmer
makes is when he leaves the corn
country, charmed by the pictured prof
its and delights of dry farming" in
the arid belt rice farming in the ever
glades or any country where the soil
and the crops are strange and other
system of agriculture obtain. What
business has the man who knows how
to raise corn and feed cattle trying to
get rich on a half section of cactus
country?
Hundreds Of Iowa men are taking
their families into the dry lands who
will bitterly regret the move" Said
hardened old land speculator to an
editor the other day: 81 can sell a
man a $1,000 farm for $1,000 if he will
buy it and keep a pretty clear con
science but if 1 were to induce men to
! buy some of those arid lands and movt
their families upon it / couldn't sleep
nights" Writing to his brother, a
railroad man at point in the arid
lands, says: 'tHundreds of settlers
are coming IN here and others are go
ing away They generally stay until
they have one team and wagon and
enough rag carpet to make a wagon
cover and then they hike out on the

WHAT IT MEANS.


This attempt upon the part of the
standpat press of Iowa. led by the
Des Moines Capital to cause dissen-
sions in the ranks of the progressives
by trying to work up boom for
Funk for the gubernatoral success
sion is significant of the preponder-
ance of progressive sentiment among
Iowa republicans. 1t is open recogni-
ton by the standpat press that the
republican party in Iowa Is dominated
overwhelmingly by those who intend to
go forward and do the work that the
time demand. Realizing their impo-
tence, the standpat leaders are inter
esting themselves to sow the seed of
discord in the progressive ranks, hop
ing that. If jealousies may be aroused
among the leaders. they themselves In
some way may derive benefit.
But their hope is vain. The pro-
gressive leaders are not out primarily
for the offices. They are out to
serve the public interest. The old
rule Of selfish interest which DOM
mated the old Blythe machine does
not apply Any differences that may
arise among the prDgresEves refa-
tive to leadership will be discussed

The Sioux City Journal insists that:
"Six years ago debate was started
in Iowa for the purpose of building up
a faction within the republican party
strong enough to dominate the bust
ness of the party"
The Register and Leader must pro-
test against any such reading of the
history of the past six years. In the
first place Mr.. Perkins himself was a
party to the movement during four of
these years. This would have been
impossible if there had been nothing
involved but the personal ambitions
of Governor Cummins.

Old Soldiers at Traverse.

At the business meeting Of the G
A. r. held last week at Traverse City,
il was decided to hold the next re-
union at that place, the time to be
left with the executive committee.
A good deal Of sentiment was ex-
pressed in favor of making that city
a permanent location as it would save
considerable expense In moving the
camp equipment from place to place.
This motion did not however receive
enough votes to carry. The enter
tainment Of the guests will be left to

The following officers were elected:
Commander, W. NJ. Mears Of Boyne
City; senior vice commander, L. X.
