PURE FOOD AND COLD STORAGE.

PURE FOOL AND COLD STORAGE.
The chemistry bureau of the De-
partment of Agriculture has per-
formed a distinct service for both
dealers and by the publ
cation of the results of experiments
showing the efscts of cold storage on
different food products. The net re-
suit shown is that the cold storage of
certain foods, while a commercial
necessity, is being pushed TOO far for
the protection of the
1t has long been the natural claim
of the cold storage folks that decay
is absolutely arrested or prevented by
the low temperature in their ware
houses, but the government expert
ments show that certain changes take
place, even in frozen foods, some of
which, if allowed to continue too long,
produce a condition that is a menace
to the health of The bu-
reau finds that about rs per cent of
the poultry used in the country is kept
some time in cold storage. Expert
ments show that no perceptible change
takes place in a frozen chicken for six
weeks, but after that time a form of
d~isintegration sets in that after a pc
riod OF three months renders the food
dangerous to eat. The conclusion of
the bureau is that chicken kept in
cold storage longer than two months
is eaten at the consumers risk.
The bureau also reports that the
musty taste in the>"strictly fresh" cold
storage egg is due to a change in the
very tissue of the product. The egg,
when kept more than six months in
cold storage, loses much of its nutritive
value and if kept longer than that
may become really injurious to health,
although it becomes so odorous before
it becomes injurious that not much
harm is to be expected from it except
when it's odor is disguised by cooking
with other ingredients.
Contrary to the general impression,
the bureau finds hat fish may be kept
almost indefinitely in a frozen state
without deterioration. MIX. however,

NO POLITICS IN THE UNIVERSITY.
The people Of Nebraska take q just
pride in their state university and
are rightly Jealous of its misuse fol
any private propaganda. For this rea'
son we doubt that the attempt of Mr.,
Bryan TO use his influence with the
democratic legislature, which controls
the purse strings, to force the regents
to establish a school of politics fol-
the dissemination of his peculiar views
will strike a popular chord.
The university is now giving in
struction in the various branches OF
political economy, sociology, public
law and political history, which might
possibly be grouped with advantage
under one head, but this evidently is
not what Mr.. Bryan wants. The very
fact that he should covertly threaten
the regents to appeal from them to the
legislature in case his demands were
not met would indicate a purpose to
build up in the university, at public
expense, a Bryanite department of pol
itics to have his particular care and
so%licitude, if not his personal super
vision.
The management of the University
of Nebraska is placed by the constitu-
ton in the hands of a Board of Re-
gents with ~six-year terms for the very
purpose of insuring its independence
of politics and keeping it free from
the stress and storm of changing par
tisan legislatures. While the legisla-
ture properly makes and limits appro-
priations and enacts the general frame
of government for the university, the
spirit of the constitution devolves it
on the regents to decide what are the
most urgent needs of the institution
and what branches or schools of in
struction should be first developed.
The regents had authority to establish
fore the school was actually estab-
lished and had they been compelled
by legislative duress to establish the
medical school before they were ready,
other more urgent branches of the
work would have suffered. If Mr..
Bryan and his friends in the legisla-
ture are really concerned for the best
interests of the university, they will
let it's development proceed under the
direction of the regents, who are in
the best position to judge of it's needs
without mischievous outside interfer-
ence.

COLLEGE MEN IN RAILROADING.

In railroad matters e. H. Harri-
mans judgment will usually be &C
cepted as that of an expert, but the
public will be slow to agree with his
assertion that a college education
really acts as a handicap to a man en-
tering upon a Career as a railroad
worker. Mr.. Hartman states that of
two young men, one a college gradu-
ate and the other a high school boy,
placed at work in any department of
~railroading. the high school boy will
learn more readily and more quickly
adapt himself to the requirements of
his position and so make more rapid
advancement.
The test applied to beginners will
probably be found true in other lines
of work than ~railroading. The high
school boy, on whom Mr.. Hartman
banks, may distance the c~ollege-bred
man in learning the well-trimmed and
direct system of routine railroad work
and sooner become a woodworking
part of the machinery, but we are con-
WINGED that the record will show hat
the ~college-bred man, once broken
into the railroad way of thinking and
applying his knowledge, will mount
higher in rank and responsibility than
his companion who went from the
high school directly to the railroad.
The college graduate often begins with
less ad~aptability to immediate require
ments, but in the long run he uses to
greater advantage his better developed
brain and his educated faculty for
weighing facts and applying them.
The youth taught to think will tri-
umph over the youth taught merely to
obey orders and initiate the work of
others, in ~railroading or in any other
field of business activity.

TWO NEW STATES.

Indications are that even in the
hurry of this short session congress
will admit Arizona and New Mexico
to statehood, the senate leaders hav-
ing withdrawn their opposition and
the house standing ready at any time
to enact a measure that will be salts
factory to the senate. Although he
was one of the most stubborn oppo-
nents of the statehood measure in the
last congress-, Speaker Cannon is said
to have guaranteed the ~right-of-way
for statehood and it is now expected
that President Roosevelt will be au-
thorized, before March 4, to issue a
proclamation calling elections in those
two territories, preparatory to final
admission to full and separate state
hood into the union Of American COM
monwealths.
There seems to be no Just reason
for further delay in the admission of
the two territories. They now have
the size, natural advantages and pop
ulation to warrant their admission,
and the outlook is promising In both
territories. Both are already con-
s~iderably ahead of some of the states
in population, wealth and importance
and their future is not doubtful. The
territorial form of government, a
makeshift at best, has hampered the
development of both Arizona and New
Mexico, but both have grown and
prospered and are assured of greater
and more rapid development under
the rights of statehood, for which they
have fought so long.

the weekly drawings in the national

Those interested in the development

complete Generalization of the Cuban

CUBA'S POOR START.

The confidence expressed by Gov
ernor Magoon and other officials who
have been closely in touch with Cuban
affairs that the Cubans would be able
to demonstrate their capacity for self
government under the new regime, to
be formally installed OF January 2S,
is not borne out by the first measures
of the Cuban congress and the an
nounced program for legislation when
Cuban control is finally established.

WHEN IS A

The federal court of appeals for the
decision which, while settling a dis
puted point of manufacturing defini-
tions, has pointed out a loophole
which may be used for distinct profit
by those who want to buy their jew
elry abroad and escape payment Of a
heavy import duty.
The point in dispute was the duty
to be levied upon a pearl necklace, or
upon pearls designed for a necklace.
Under the peculiar wording of the
tariff laws, loose pearls come in under
a duty of 10 per cent, ad valorem,
while a pearl necklace is assessed for
so per cent of it's value. The i'm
porter, in the case in question, simply
removed the string, or cord or what
ever 1t was, on which the pearls were
strung and offered them as loose
pearls. The customs officials held that
the necklace tariff should be charged,
but the courts have decided that
pearls a not constitute a necklace
until they are strung together. They
may be cut and designed so as to be
practically worthless for any purpose
other than as the constituent parts Of
a necklace, but unless they are strung
together they are not a necklace, or
any part of it.
Under the circumstances and the
decision OF the courts, the owner of
a necklace bought abroad will find it
to his profit to cut the string before
he meets the customs inspectors at an
American port. This is the law, even
if it does o sound much like or
binary horse sense

changes rapidly in cold storage and
soon becomes unfit for use. AS a re-
suit Of their investigations, the gov
eminent authorities are urging that
the pure food law be made to require
all food products kept in cold storage
to be labeled in some n to show
just how long they have been in cold
storage before being sold for consump-
ton. 1t will take time to educate the
cold storage firms to meet such re-
quirements and it will take longer to
educate the consumers to protect them
selves, but these reforms are sure to
