as I hey Happens D,,..

NAL Industry were too lenient with
the packers and that the words 'The
United States Inspected and Passed"
on the products of the packinghouses
were meaningless. A portion of his
letter to Secretary Wilson is as fol-
lows:
"The inspection at the National
Stock Yards, Illinois, is costing the
people approximately 100000 a
year, and it is not actually worth 81
to them For when the word is
passed from the inspector in charge
to the inspectors actually doing the
work on the floors that they are get
ting too many condemned animals
and to change the grading, it means
that the whole thing is farce. Mr..
Secretary, the packers are getting to-
day from 70 to 80 per cent. of what
ought to be condemned and destroyed.
Il have seen from 1900 to $500
pounds of lard spill and run into an
open sewer in the floor, the sewer
outlet quickly blocked and said lard
taken up from the floor and out of the
sewer, both of which were unclean
and unsanitary. And your doctors
passed same to the packers over the
protest of the Inspector on that
floor, and it went to the public
marked United States inspected and
passed.
81 have seen animals in a dying
condition dragged into the killing
beds and marked u. S. Inspected and
Passed. Some of the filthiest things
imaginable are practiced in the sau
sage departments.
These are all permitted by those
in charge. In an inspector calls their
attention to any Of the wrong he is
told, as | was, that the people who
eat such stuff are too lazy to prepare
anything for themselves and ought to
have such stuff
Evidently the horrifying revela-

are to be duplicated. 1t is very
easy matter for officials to wink at the
packers, and carcasses that have been
thrown out as unfit, it is claimed
by the men who work in the pack
inghouses, are afterwards simply
dragged back again and utilized Of
course, honest inspection would pre-
vent such things, and penitentiary
sentences for these filthy criminals
would in measure satisfy the de-
mands of justice, although the MUIR
ders done through palming off spoil
ed, diseased meats can never be
known and hanging few of the pack
ers would not be too bad for them.
But a little bride, judiciously be-
slowed here and there, evidently suf-
fees to obtain the coveted label In

last week points such warning fin

in it's duty if it did not give the widest
publicity to the facts which, as at
present developed, seem to be that
this young girl, through misdirected
religious zeal, became the victim OF
Oriental depravity. There is no doubt
that the American public has already
fixed the responsibility for this crime
upon the abhorrent and perverted
idea that placing refined young white
women upon terms of social equality
with the scum of the Orient is
means of grace How it is that men
and women who, presumably, would
object to their daughters mixing in
discriminatory with young white men,
can encourage them to lower them
selves to the level Of the degenerate,

Distressing as is the end of Miss
Sigel the poor girl will not have died
in vain if such death has been the
means of bringing about a wholesome
sentiment against Oriental invasion

that of our own people.
1t is said that, when these New
York missions were first estab-

naman and one of the girl mission

afterwards such marriages became
so frequent they attracted no atten-

in the class of things to be tabooed
is the social recognition of such

He Is a Hustler.

Hollis Clark, who is only eleven
years old and sells the Saturday Even
ing Post in this city. has long been
recognized as hustler. Recently the
management of the Post offered prize
of Shetland pony and cart to the boy
who showed the largest percentage OF
gain in towns of populations ranging
from 1000 to 1900 any where in the
United States or Canada. Hollis
wanted that rig and started out to
win it, A statement received this
week from the publisher shows large
list of contestants but with Hollis
Clark of Alma at the mead of the list
Last week the youngster bought and
sold $50 copies of The Post and this
week mas an order in for $50 copies.
There is only a short time left before
the contest closes and Hollis is
digging in every minute. When sales
are quiet in Alma he makes Ithaca
and ST. Louis. Here is hoping that
he holds his position at the head of the
list and wins the Shetland pony and
cart.
