more than they did before the slaugh-
ter house was raided. The exhibition
will probably result in meat inspec-
ton ordinance or in an increase of
vegetarianism in Ames.
We have been somewhat excited over
the danger of tubercular meats in
Iowa and some legislation, state and
municipal, has resulted. We need more
stringent state laws and better hand
ling of inspection in cities which have
their own meat inspector as cities the
size OF Ames and without local pack
ing house must have if animals are to
be slaughtered at home for food. A
meat inspection ordinance doesn't
mean much unless the ispector in
spects. If his time is so fully occupied
upon other business that he can not
attend to meat inspection the office
will not amount to much and its results
be mainly unsatisfactory.
What is imperative if meat inspection
is to be properly conducted is CEN
trail abbatoir owned by the city, under
absolute control of competent inspec-
tor and where all slaughter of animals
for sale in the city is compulsory. The
French had these abbatoirs fifty years
ago, long before the bacterial theory
had been accepted and had established
them for common cleanliness and to
prevent the slaughter and sale of an
imals evidently diseased. We are not
at all in advance but years behind in
America when we approach the sani-
tary central abbatoir.
We get excited, and forget as soon.
We pass an ordinance and settle back
with a sense of security and of duty
we'll done insteaod of following up and
seeing that our wishes and demands
are carried out. If Ames institutes meat
inspection she will not have solved the
problem entirely; she must then see
that the inspector is competent and
that he does his work

turn out daily 500 tons Of pig iron and
$50 tons of steel. They made the rails
and much other constructive material
for the $50 miles of Peking-
railroad and for most of the other
Chinese lines since then, besides ex-
porting in 1907 $1,000 tons of pig and
manufactured iron. Today they are
putting up another plant for the manu-

Senator Cummins contains the real
principle of reciprocity. 1t gives the
president the powers that James
Blaine, Kasson, and the advocates of
reciprocity claimed for him and which
were responsible for the marking UP
Of schedules in the Dingley law. That
Senator Root will speak for the amend
ment is sufficiently a statement of his
position to enable the believers in re-
ciprocity to claim him as OF them

No man is better fitted to speak on
this amendment than Root. 1t will be
remembered that as secretary he trav-
eled over South America and into 9TH
er countries as a peace maker and
doubtless with an eye to the advantage
of his own country. He is one of the
most judicially brilliant, highly in

His speech will be awaited and read
with interest and his views given most
respectful attention by congress and
the public. For Roots is perhaps the

States.

IoWA's ANTITRUST LAW.
dubuque Times-Journal.l


The lumbermen in the Iowa senate
tried to kill the Kull anti-lumber trust
bill by attaching an amendment maxi
ing it applicable to all trusts. When the
amended measure was returned to the
house Mr.. kull accepted the amend
ment with thanks and the house adopt
ed it unanimously. The result is one
of the most comprehensive and drastic
antitrust laws ever adopted by any
legislature. 1t is so strong that it is
likely to fall into innocuous desuetude
because every man who threatens to
invoke it against one trust will be met
by threat to have it invoked against
his own. At present the editors and
clergymen are about the only classes
having no trust. The physicians have
a fee bill, and whenever one of their
number gets into court to collect a bill
for his services he can depend on all
the others to swear that the charge is
a reasonable one in view of all the cir
cumstances. So it is with the lawyers.
No member of the legal fraternity who
prizes his standing with his profession
al brethren will swear that any one If
them has overcharged his client. The
salaried men can't invoke the law
with white men who accept tips and
refuse to affiliate with them.

SIOUX cITYs FORWARD STEP.

Sioux City will build a public play
ground if the conclusions arrived at
by a large number of its citizens are
put into practical shape. A committee
of a hundred or more selected from all
classes and vocations, will confer as 20
the location and general establishment
of a free play ground for the children
and younger residents and breathing
places convenient for older people.
Sioux City is doing a good thing,
one easier TO do today than it will ever
be again. The need of the play grounds
is imperative in every city and if the
ground is to be obtained clleaply the
sooner it is secured in a growing city
the less the expense. Every city of
10000 or more should have at least
one public play ground and should get
it now.
Children have rights One of these is
the right TO play. They are going to
play whether the people who live next

they are driven off the vacant ground
and OUT Of the alleys, they are going

Is the active principle of the boys'

work with the boys. But it isn't get

those who need it worst. The public
