A Meat Law Teaching.

Outside the District of Columbia
and the other Territories not even
the new meat inspection law is suf-
cient TO protect the consumer.
The advertising value of In
spected and passed, U. S. Govt" is
not enough to induce q considerable
number of meat packers to keep
their products clean and pure.
These are the two lessons taught
by the chief of the Bureau of Animal
Industry in his speech at Chicago
the other day. Forty-six establish
ments, said DR.. Melvin, have for
feited the right to ship their prod
ucts interstate rather than meet the
requirements of the national law.
Moreover, a surprising number of
small packers were brought to the
very point of having their shipments
rejected by the railroads before they
realized that the law was intended
for them, as well as the big packers.

which have deliberately chosen to
sell undergrade meat In State mar
kets, twelve were refused inspection
because they failed to keep their
shops up to a proper standard of
sanitation. The others, nearly all,
would not cease the use of pro-
scribed preservatives.
Here is a showing which the De-
partment of Agriculture may find
enlightening as to the general pure
food law. Attorneys for doubtful
blends" and compounds" are quick
to cite the general purpose to sell
only the purest foods" to do more
than obey the law" to ''meet the
more than half way"
The thing they ask on these prem
Uses is their own denial-that, there
fore, the rules shall not be made
too strict. But it viii be well for
the department to bear in mind this
teaching of the meat law, neverthe-
less.

A Rope of Sand.

The Turkish empire, which is the
historic successor of the glorious
old Roman empire, seems in a fair
way at last to fall TO pieces of its
own weight. 1t has been sustained,
generation after generation, against
attacks from without by reason of
the jealousies among the European
powers. Britain has been the spe-
cial guardian of the porte, because
Britain foresaw that if Russia
reached the Mediterranean at Con-
stantinople, the route to India, the
control of Egypt, the Suez canal,
the integrity, in short, of the British
empire would be gravely threatened.
Russia is now weakened, and for
the time being out of consideration.
Yet Turkey, apparently, is in no
safer condition than when watch
men were kept always on the look
out from ST. SHhia's for the APP
pearanee of the.hrmies of the Car.
In truth, theS'urkish empire is
rope of sand. Nominally, it includes
Morocco, but its hold is almost less
than nominal. In theory England
rules Egypt subject to a khedive,
who, in turn, is subject to CONSTANT
nople. Turkish power here is so

ten. In Arabia there is practically
continuous revolt, and in recent
years the warlilxe, vigorous, turbu-
lent Arabs have repeatedly menaced
Turkish rule so seriously that it has
seemed impossible for the Sultan
much longer to support the tremen-
dous expense of his hopeless cam
paigns against them.
In truth, England stands for the
continuance of Turkish suzerainty
over Arabia, much as she stood for
protection of European Turkey
against the Slav. In due time Ara

same relationship to Britain that
Egypt now does. This is inevitable
unless Germany, which watches the
shores of the Arabian Gulf with
jealous eye, shall intervene with de-
termination and effectiveness. Ger

THE YOUNGER JEFFERSON
AS GRIP VAN wINKLE"

Wherever the name OF RIP Van
Wrinkle appears it viii ever spell JET
ferson~ % the theaterEoiug public. and
last night in the National Theater. when
this famous old comedy was revived by
Thomas Jefferson. son OF dear old zoe
jefferson, there was more than one in
the audience who recalled the days
when the real Rip" trod the same
boards.
Since the character was for so many
years associated with the elder Jeffer-
son It is not a little difficult TO accept
enyOae else in the role, but II a worthy
follower OF his father could be found
the choice would not fail short were it
conferred on Thomas Jefferson. he is
not only a good actor, but. probably
through long study Of the part as play
ed by his father. has caught much OF
The spirit Of the role and imparts TO Il
much OF the pothOS which enshrined HIS
distinguished father in the hearts OF the
playEOers Of America
Although RIP Van Wrinkle" has been
before the public many, many years.
one cannot deny its quaint pathOs, TIE
charming little fairy story that forms
its central theme. and the picturesuue
atmosphere OF the queer little story and
its people. There is a charm about
Rip that creepS out from among its
orudities of construction. that makes
one forget its incomplete climaxes and
the hodge-pOdge way some Of the situ-
ations are worked out. II IS far too
late 10 go into a critical ANALYSIS OF
this quaint old comedy. but IL is never
too late TO appreciate its charm.
Mr.. Jefferson last night made a sDeech
IN which he said he felt sure there were
some in the audience who had heard
his dear father say: y have played
Rip for your father and mother. your
grandfather and grandmother, and for
your g-eat-grandfather and great
grandmother" Continuing. he said,
And I hope 10 play TO your children.
your grandchildren. and your great
grandchildren.
Ffolliott Paget. who has the distinction
OF having played Gretchen with the
elder Jefferson. was excellent in her
role and made the shrewish old wife q
conspicuous part of the story. The most
emphatic lit Of the performance was
made by LeOni and Viola Fiugrarh in
the roles OF Meenie and Heinrich. Their
work was SO natural that IN the second
act the audience several times Inter-
rupted their scene with applause. They
are beautiful children and act with per-
feet ease.
