Octave Chanute, the octogenarian
engineer who built the Hannibal
bridge across the Mississippi river and
who gave the Wright brothers their
first ideas of aeroplane construction
and invited them to improve on his in
yentions, says that "airships and fly
ing machines are for sportsmen and
dogs of war: for commercial purposes
and carrying of passengers they are
not to be thought OF" Mr.. Chanute
considers that the main use of air
ships will be in exploring hitherto
inaccessible places. such as the Arctic
regions. This is encouraging to Wal
ter Wellman in his aerial quest of the
north pole.

Secretary Macyeagh says President
Taft will not lose sight of the fact
that sthe Republican party las wished
to dedicate itself in the present time,
even as it did in the earliest days, to
the furtherance of the higher ideals
of the people, to the wider and more
varied and complete progress of the
nation and to the nations helpful
work and influence in the world at
large" The purpose is wholly and
highly laudable and President Taft
can be depended upon to further it by
every means in his power.

MILK INSPECTION.

A reform that should be inaugurat-
ed in Keokuk with the least possible
delay is system Of dairy and milk
inspection in the interest Of the pub
lie health. For many years the local
board OF health has contented itself
with making hasty visit to the
dairies once year It is within the
knowledge OF all that in numerous
cases it found much cause to criti-
else conditions. Some of these con-
ditions have perhaps been corrected.
but it will not be contended by any
one informed in the premises that
conditions are yet what they should
be in some OF the diaries supplying
milk to Keokuk people. A watchful
eye should be kept on the dairies
every week in the year and the strict
est sanitary precautions insisted upon
and enforced. This can be done only
by some one specially commissioned
for the purpose.
The only inspection OF milk at
present is by local inspector ct
ing under the authority and direction
of the state dairy commissioner who
makes tests of milk at intervals to
determine the amount Of butter fat
it contains There are no public safe
guards whatever against the adulter-
alton of milk with harmful preserva-
tives. It is not known that these are
used by Keokuk dairymen but there
is no official assurance that they are
not. There should be such inspec-
ton Of milk as would effectually ex-
clude adulterants of every kind be-
yond all question or doubt.
In number of cities milk dealers
are licensed under condition of obey
ing local as well as state regulations.
This is the case at Rockford, Ill. The
following reference to the practical
workings of the arrangement is from
the star published at that place:
THE inspectors of the health de-
partment have been paying particular
attention to milk vendors and samples
are being taken to the laboratory
every day and tests made. Thus far
few samples have been found that
can be criticised, but this TACT VIII
not deter the officers in keeping strict
watch and samples will be taken fre-
ouently. The apparatus in the lab
oratory has been added to and the
department can test many samples
each day. and if there are evidences
of adulteration or the milk gets too
close to the limit notices are sent
at once to those supplying it and
trouble starts"
Rockford licenses not only milk
dealers. but the keepers of hotels
and restaurants at which milk IS spld.
Licenses are supplied to about 2ou
places in the city.
The supreme court OF Wisconsin
the past week decided that a city
may not only require milk dealers TO
procure licenses but may authorize
the inspector to cancel them. It says
the protection OF the public health is
one of the most important duties q
the city government and that the Il
censing Of milk dealers and the In
spection of their product is reason
able exercise of this power.
