Municipal Inspection of Meat and

Iowa Health Bulletin: Pure food
inspection of articles and places for
their preparation or manufacture is
an important branch of sanitary
science, and properly belongs to the

for stringent prohibitive regulations,
we contend that this is an evil of
but small proportions when COM

ing conditions pertaining to the pre-
paration and quality OF the meat and
milk supply, and that far more dis
astrous results are produced through

The North Carolina Conflict.
From the N. Y. World.

Had Judge Pritchard in the
North Carolina rate cases followed
the common-sense example set by
Judge Mcpherson in the Missouri
rate cases there would be no conflict
between Federal and State authori-
ties.
The Missouri Legislature at its
last session enacted a maximum
freight-rate law and q two-cent pas
senger rate law. The state authorities
undertook to enforce these acts, and
the railroads went into the United
States District Court for an injunc-
ton on the usual grounds. Judge
Mcpherson Strengthened out the
tangle by temporarily denying the
petition until the effect of the act
could be proved by facts, not theor-
les. AS he expressed it, "The two.
cent law should be put into effect
until it can be ascertained by actual
experience whether two cents will
be renumerative."
If at the end of two or three
months the figures of operation
show that the rate is unreasonable
Judge Mcpherson will issue writ
of injunction.
The North Carolina case could
easily have been disposed of in the
same way. The railroads made the
same kind of plea. The Southern's
lawyers represented that rate OF
two and quarter cents would so
diminish revenues as to amount to
confiscation of property, but no facts
were presented or could be present.
ed to sustain the contention.
Instead of following Judge Nc
Pherson's example in the Missouri
case, Judge Pritchard followed
Judge Lacombe's example in the
in the New York so cent gas case,
except that he finally declared the
act invalid without showing that the
rate was unreasonable.
Without questioning in the slight
est degree the good intentions or
the good faith of Federal judges
who assume original Jurisdiction in
cases like that in North Carolina, it
is proper to point out that State
Legislatures, State courts and State
executives have constitutional rights
which are entitled to respect. The
growing tendency to assume that an
act of a State Legislature is unconsti-
|tutional because corporation says
it is. that justice will not be admin
isterea in State courts and that the
Federal courts must intervene on
every possible OCCASIONAL this is
bound to inspire resentment and
provoke conflict. A centralized
judiciary may be no more desirable
than,any other kind of centralized
government.

Gen. Weaver Enters Race for Senate.

Gen. James b. Weaver has an
nounced that he will be candidate
for United States Senator from Iowa.
Gen. Weaver said in recent in
terview: Il will be candidate for
the United States senate and l think
that the man who gets the most
votes at the primaries next June re-
gard!ess of the party affiliations
should be elected by the legislature
that meets following that. I shall
announce my platform very shortly
and shall have some interesting
things to say at that time. All that
Gov. Cummins knows he learned in
my political school. | am on my
way now to Illinois, where speak
in some chautauquas but will return
to the state in a short time and will
then announce my platform"
That Gen. Weaver would be a
candidate for the United States SEN
ate has been limited at BY politicians
already this year. His announce
ment is not altogether surprise
therefor to politicians but will be a
surprise to the state at large. When
mention was made of his age Gen.
Weaver declared that he did not
find his years weighing heavily up
on him as yet and thought the COM
ing campaign that he would wage,
in which he was determined to make
a vigorous speaking campaign over
the state, would determine to the
satisfaction of the people of Iowa
whether or not he was capable of
doing the work down at Washing
ton.
An interesting feature of the an
nouncement of Gen. Weaver is his
declaration that he considers that
the man who gets the most votes
should be elected regardless of party
af6liation. Gen. Weaver will be a
candidate on the democratic ticket
but declares that in his judgement
the very spirit OF the primary is
that the man getting the most votes
in the state should be elected at the
primaries. In the light Of the dis.
eussion being waged in the republi.
can press of the state whether OF
not the majority vote Of the party
should rule or whether the vote in

ment is likely to attract attention
The Cummins men interpret it that
the man who gets the most votes il
the state should be elected by the
Legislature. The standpatters in.
terpret it that the man who carrie.

be elected.

GLOOMY FUTURE FOR
 CHINESE EMPIRE
THE DoWAoER EMPRESS IS IN BAD HEALTH AND AFFAIRS OF THE GOVERNMENT ARE IN A CRITICAL CONDITION.

Tokio, August 17.-Private dispatches from Pekin forecast gloomy future. owing to the unsettled state of politics there, caused by the absence of ruling mind powerful enough to cope with the situation. The Empress Dowager, who heretofore has been sole mistress of affairs, Is now in a critical state of health. Her policy so far has been to play one minister against another in order to prevent the concentration of power in any single hand.
 Inasmuch as the Empress Is incapaci- tated by an incurable disease. and as the historical anlmosity of the Man chus and Mandarins Is increasing, the prevailing state of affairs in the Pekin government constitutes a baffing prob lem.
 Whatever compromise may be effected between the progressive Yuan Shi Kai and the conservatives there appears little hope of realizing the complete stability of Pekin authority so impera- lively necessary to the integrity of the empire and the peace of the far east in general.
 While fresh guarantee of peace has appeared in the form of the Russian Japanese entente peace will be con stantly subject to disturbance until some decisive measures are taken to re-establish order in Pekin politics.
 This however, Is deemed impossible of accomplish so long as Manchu and a Mandarin survive.

The convict ehain-gang still working every day on the public streets of these beautiful modern cities is shame for the Birmingham district,
 Tie first time foreigner from any part of the world, or even an American from tho northern states, comes to this district attracted by the reputation of it's wonderful development and modernity of life, he is painfully struck and af fieted by the daily miserable exhibition of these poor human beings compelled to work-to spoil this most noble duty Of civilized free man-under a badge of amid the rest of the people enjoying life, freedom and prosperity.
 The first day we witnessed this shame full exhibition in the streets of beauti fol Birmingham we thought that these human beings so cruelty exposed to the general despise were the worst kind of criminals, convicted of felony and subject to life or long time expiation of their most deplorable crimes.
 We did not approve 1t for this: Because We have been taught by the study of our laws and legal sciences of the most civilized people in the world that if the state has q right to punish it's criminals to defend itself and society, punishment is not allowed to be d cruelty or re- prisal, and is the duty of the state after it has safe-guarded itself with punish ing, to educate the poor criminal, who is often a victim of society itself who is often a sick man that must be cured and may improve under proper manage ment
 The law, "eye for eye" tooth for tooth,' was perhaps a good law among the Indians, but It cannot be adopted or retained by modern America.
 To expose even the worst criminals in expiatlon of their crimes to daily con- tinuous despise of the entire community in the streets of large cities, purely means to destroy in them every bit of human dignity, to kill them morally again and again every day at every minute of their miserable lives.
 or this we were thinking when we first witnessed the chaln-gang and thought it to be a set of the worst criminals of the state expiating the worst crimes com mitted by men.
 But when we heard a few days later that the ehain-gang exposed to the gen. eral despise in the most populous streets of these cities was nothing more than the daily output" of the lower justices, judges and courts of the district-'the often victim of njustice-arrested and

 FOR THE RAILROAD
WITNESS FOR SOUTHERN RAIL. WAY SAYS NORTH CAROLINA IS AN EXPENSIVE STATE FOR THE RAILROAD BUSINESS.

New York, August 17.-John M. Daley of Chicago, an accountant, was a wit ness today before former Judge Mont gomery, who has been appointed by Judge Pritchard of North Carolina, to take tes- timony that will determine the consti- tutlonality of the 2A-cent passenger rate law of North Carolina. Mir. Daley gave various figures showing the costs of run times as much for local hauling as 1t does for hauling trains over q direct 100 mile stretch or a longer distance.
 Former Congressman Woodward, one of tho representatives of the North Caro- lima corporation commission. cross-exam- ined MT Daley, who said that North states in which to operate a railroad. There were few large cities in North Carolina and conse 1uently there was no very large volume of business, either from freight or passenger standpoint. MT. Daley said that in Illinois SC, ,o00 pounds of grain or 100000 pounds of coal wpere loaded on a car, while in North Carolina 1900 pounds of tobacco consti- tuted a ca rload. The witness said that he thought about 70 per cent of the railroad business in North Carolina was done In hauling lumber.
 The investigation was adjourned until Monday.

OFFICER USES SABER
 ON NEGRO PORTER
lNSoLENCE IS QUICKLY PUN lSHED IN A SLEEPING CAR, AND 6IFF FOR INTERFERENCE.

Shreveport, August 17.-Dr. Ashton Blanchard, son of Governor Blanchard, who holds the title of major in the First Louisiana regiment and has just returned from the encampment at Alexandria, Is being congratulated for using his sabre on a saucy Pullman porter while en route home from the camp grounds.
 Major Blanchard, hs friends learned to- day, was occupying a seat In the Pullman with lady, and requested the negro DOT ter to raise a window for the lady The negro refused, giving an answer that the military gentleman did not like. Again the porter was requested to wait on the passenger and when he refused, adding saucy and impudent remarks to the in suit, Dr. Blanchard drew his sabre and bounced on the negro, pounding him se- yerely. The conductor seemed to favor the action of the Shreveporter, and told him that A request had previously been made to have the porter discharged for his insolence.
 An expression by an Ohio man. who favored the negro, and said the porter had been mlstreated, raised the ire of another southern man, who attacked and whipped the porters defender it being necessary for other passengers to rescue the Ohioah
