New Pure Food Law.

Local retailers will be interest
ed in the work of the state board
of health which will soon COM
mence the enforcement of the
new pure-food law. The board
will draft a set of rules for the
enforcement of the law, and upon
their adoption notify butchers
and meat dealers throughout the
state that the pure food inspect
ors appointed by the board will
regularly inspect their shops and
slaughte houses. Similar notices
will be sent to dairymen grocers
and druggists, who will also be
told that the sanitary conditions
of their places of business will be
noted as we'll as the purity of the
goods they sell.
The new law absolutely forbids
the sale of meats from unsanitary
slaughter houses and meat mar
kets. 1t gives the Inspector pow.
er to seize upon the stock OF
goods sold in such places and
take it before a justice of the
peace or judge and demand ar
immediate trial. The law defines
unsanitary houses and makes il
unlawful to feed hogs on scraps
picked up about the slaughter
houses. The Inspector will be re-
CURED to report daily to the state
food and drug commissioner, DR.
II. f. Barnard.

Soldiers Home Changes.

A special meeting of the board
of trustees of the State Soldiers
Home, with chairman WIS. Hag-
gard presiding, was held Friday
for the purpose of considering
extensive improvements that are
to be made at the institution
with the $4,000 appropriation of
the Legislature for such purpose.
1t was decided to erect a new
$4,000 hospital on high bluff,
southeast of the present hospital,
and to have the structure mod
ern one in every respect. The
building now being used as a
hospital will be converted into an
old peoples home, in which the
most infrm members will be car
ed for. The building will be COM
pletely overhauled, and $4,000
will be spent on the improve
ments. A large dining room will
be added, in order that the old
people may remain in the build
ing. for meals. The board will
spend the remainder of the APP
preparation in the building of a
cold storage plant, a large water
tank, a trunk-line sewer and in
new boilers and engines, an ex-
tension of the steam heating syS-
tenn and a lighting system.

Indiana and Her Universities.

"Other states" says the Lafay-
cite Journal in lamenting the
''stingy" treatment of Purdue un-i
iversity by the Indiana legislat-
ure, ARE appropriating hundreds
of thousands of dollars to build
up institutions that meet in COM
petition with Purdue" Our
friends of the Indiana institutions
of higher learning might as we'll
give up the idea that Indiana will
engage in any Competition"
foolishness along the line sug-
gested. 1t is true that the legis-
lature of Illinois has appropriated
to the State University of Illinois
for the ensuing two years sum
equivalent to one-third of the en-
tire Indiana budget for all pur-
poses for the same period. 1t is
doubtful if Illinois is getting its
moneys worth. At any rate, in
the face of appropriations of this
kind for institutions in other
states Purdue has been able to go
on doing character of work that
has kept it abreast of all these
institutions.
The mere lavish use of money
does not make great education
al institution. The University of
Illinois has been building cow
barns that resemble the Alham-
bra but the question is whether it
is turning out dairy experts un-
der these circumstances who can
get results in their work outside
Iof the environment of a Spanish
castle. By the way, the demand
for huge appropriations at Pur
due comes not from the needs of
the agricultural department, but
from the desire to excel in engi-
neering and other phases of work
with which the character of Pur-
due as the states agricultural
school has no relation. If it is
necessary to reduce expenses, the
institution can keep with in its
financial limitations by combining
the naturalization to Indiana stu
dents. who comprise only about
two-thirds of the entire number
of the whole student body. 1t is
for Indiana students that the in
stitution is primarily maintained
out of the state treasury.-Ma-
rion Chronicle.

Crumpacker With President.

Representative Crumpacker and
President Roosevelt are working
hand in glove to secure an effect
i've investigation of the condition
of women and children in the
United States. They have devised
an arrangement whereby this in
vestigation shall be conducted by
James B. Reynolds, whose thor
ough work in uncovering the
practices in vogue in the packing
houses of the country will long
be remembered.
Judge Crumpacker says tina,
there is a mistaken impression
abroad that the information to be
derived from the investigation IS
necessarily intended as a basis
for legislation by congress. The
Indiana cogressman has insisted
all along that Senator Beveridge
went off on the wrong foot in
trying to obtain national legisla-
ton for the amelioration of child
labor. This subject Judge Crum-
packer holds, is one over which
congress has no constitutional
jurisdiction.
'The Investigation said he,
'is not intended to be of mere
statistical character, such as are
the Investigations of the census
bureau. 1t will enter into the So
Geological, moral and industrial
conditions surrounding women
and children of the country, and
it will be an inexhaustible source
of information for state legislat-
ures on this subject"
1t is the general opinion that
the inquiry will develop many
shocking abuses and that the re-
port of Mr.. Reyonlds will be de-
cidedly interesting, if not sensa-
tional.

Religious Railroad Men.

1t is said that when railroad
man gets religion he gets it right,
a fact which is amply illustrated
By the following story:
Along, the Southern Kansas
road, about two miles north of
Arkansas City, passengers may
see the inscription: Christ Died
for the Ungodly," in large letters
on the side of a hill about one
fourth of a mile west of the rail-
road track. The letters are thirty
feet long and the inscription Gov
ers a length of more than 200
yards. The letters are formed OF
white stones laid in heaps upon
the ground. The inscription may
be read from the train for more
than two miles. 1t was placed
there by a railway train oIsparcn-
er at Arkansas City, vino Belongs
to a religious sect which believes
in coming out into the world
with its religion. Across the river
is tall bluff about one mile dis
tant from the Southern Kansas
railroad station at Arkansas City
is another inscription in stone. L
reads: "Eternity-Where Viii
You Spend It."

Three Strong Candidates.

The Chicago Tribune says ar
effort will be made to induce
Roosevelt take the Republican
nomination for president but as
Stunning that the convention NOM
mates Roosevelt and he declines,
or does it in advance in such an
emphatic manner as to make a
vote for him more or less of an
insult, other candidates of course
will be presented. According to
the belief of most politicians, the
the real fight in the convention
will be between Secretary Taft,
Vice President Fairbanks, and
Gov. Hughes, with the chances
at the present time in the order
named.
1t is assumed that Speaker
Cannon will not become an ac-
tive candidate. He could, if he
chose, have large following in
any Republican convention. He
lis persoally popular, fills the pict.
uresque idea of a western man,
and is beyond doubt typically
American. But this is an age of
young men, and Speaker Cannon
has reached a point where, ac-
cording to the Bible and life in
surance companies, his expecta-
ton of life is not a great one. He
is three score and ten now, and
although he is an adept at a
country dance and is really
youthful in mind and body, his
election to the presidency would
involve the choice of man for
second place with the definite
prospect of an early successor,
because if Speaker Cannon
should be elected president in
1908 and take his seat the follow
ing year, he would be in his sew
enty-seventh year at the end of
his first term

Not a Good Democrat.

William ]. Bryan has once
more called President Roosevelt
"a good Democrat" and account
ed for his popularity on that
ground. This implies, OF course
that the people regarded Mr.
Roosevelt as a much better Dem
ocrat than Alton B. Parker in
1904 when they elected the for
mer over the latter by such a
rousing majority. 1t is natural
enough that Bryan should think
Roosevelt better Democrat than
Parker but the people who have
no personal reason for thinking
so, think otherwise. The impress.
sion prevails that Mr.. Roosevelt
was elected not only because the
people liked him, but because he
was not a Democrat.
