BY LOUIS F. SWIFT.
President Of Great Chicago P~ackinshouse.

- HE corporation is created by the law and deserves from the law
protection from both the rabid agtator and the uniformed
legislator. But at the same time corporations have certain du-
ties and responsibilities toward the public. Particularly is this
true of a business like the packing industry which, because Of
its magnitude and ofi its relations to the country at large, might
M be called a semipublc institution.
As I conceive it, great corporations must, to some extent,
- take the public into their confidence. At least they must make
it plain that they are not hostile to wise legislation and that
they are really meeting their obligations 10 the public.
The following statements seem TO me to express the relationship of
the packing houses with the public:
1 The public has a right to know that every precaution has been
taken to insure only wholesome meat reaching the consumer. This in
wolves the right and desrabiity Of having the meat inspected by the gov
eminent.
2. The public has a right to know that the entire process Of prepar-
ing meat, whether fresh or canned, is performed under clearly and sani-
tary conditions
3 The public has a right to demand that the prices which it pays
for meat are not excessive.
a. The public has a right to know that the packers are buying mate
rial and selling products in compliance with the law.
5 The large packers are rapidly improving their plants in response
to the requirements Of increasing business and in compliance with the
natural evolution in appliances and methods operating in all large indus
tries. The same policy applies in the safeguard and health Of employees.

their ambition, hence the contentment
that prevailed.
But in after years, when cities
grew and trade expanded, the mer-
chants of these cities not being con
tent with conditions of trade, devised
plans by which they might reach out
for more business. Advertising in the
newspapers being a cheap way of
putting the merits of their goods be-
fore the people, this plan appealed to
them and it was adopted. At first they
operated on a small scale; then, as
the merchant saw the opportunity for
making it pay, he added to his adver-
Using fund. And so it has continued
until to-day millions of dollars are
annually sent to mail order houses by
the people of the United States.
The best and most effective way to
throttle the catalogue house has been
a question uppermost in the minds of
country merchants for several years
past; some advocating one plan and
some another. There are several plans
which might be presented to induce
the farmer to buy at home. In the
first place his pride might be appealed
to. There are very few farmers who
own their own farms but that would
be interested in building up his own
locality. He realizes the fact that if
his farm is to be valuable it must be
farmed in the most scientific manner
and all buildings, fences, etc, must be
kept up in the best possible shape,
and above all the farm must be To-
Gated not too far from some good
town, for we all know that fam land
brings a much better price yShen near
to some good town or village. 1t is
not hard to get the farmer to realize
this, for If he ever sold any farm land
or tried to sell any, he knows this to
be a fact. Well, then, after he has
realized this fact, the thing for him
to do is to patronize his home mer-
chants and business men, so they may
be able to build and maintain a good
town.
Public schools are much better in
the towns than in the country for the
reason that where the population is
most dense, there is more taxable
property to the amount Of territory
covered, hence there is more money
collected for school purposes, and as
a result more and better teachers are
employed. All this is Of the highest
Importance to the farmer, as most
farmers who are Of any Importance in
their profession are interested in Civ
ms their boys and girls q good educa-

AS the years go by vi are more
than ever brought face to face with
the vital question of trading at home.
During the past decade the habit of
buying goods abroad has grown to
such proportions that the country
merchant may well feel alarmed at
the probable outcome unless something
is done to forestall the great calamity
which will surely result therefrom.
Trade conditions 25 years ago we're
satisfactory. At that time catalogue
houses were entirely unknown and
country merchants were "monarchs of
all they surveyed" 50 to speak, in the
lines represented, and the people were
prosperous and happy. Perhaps not
SO much because they generally had
money enough 10 meet their wants,
but because Of the contentment that
prevailed throughout the country at
that time. The farmers raised good
crops, generally, and received good
prices for what they had to sell. They
sold their surplus stuff to the local
merchant and bought what they
wanted; and this was the height of

A temperance crusade in England
seems to have taken on much the
same aspect as many famous recent
court trials, inasmuch as it is largely
Ia matter of expert opinion. The tenn
perance leaders were somewhat set
back by a manifesto published in The
London Lancet, the great medical
publication of England, in which 16
eminent professors and practitioners
testified, oyer their own names, that
alcohol has valuable qualities as food
and medicine, giving that article a
strong recommendation for usefulness
and merit. Now the temperance men
are trying to get a testimonial to the
opposite effect from the same or a
larger number Of equally prominent
professionals. But would not such a
procedure leave the matter just about
where it was before, asks the Troy
Times, with the public compelled to
make up it's mind solely on it's own
construction of testimony made addi-
!tionally confusing because doctors of
such standing so utterly disagree?
And where does moral suasion come
in?

There is no %preservative of love in
married life SO sure as good house
keeping; and there is no profession SO
absorbing, and demanding preparation
and skill, as that of the housewife.
When a young woman marries she as
really enters upon the practice of a
life profession as does a young man
when he is admitted to the bar, or
graduates a physician, after three or
-four years spent in preparation. The
man is willing to equip himself fully
for his part of the partnership. Does

to take the place of the second part
