FOOD COMMISSIONER BARNARD
REJOICES IN THE PASSAGE
OF NEW MEASURES.
Sanitation Bill for Food Manufactures,
Has Been Passed In Sew
eral States of the Union.

WASHINGTON, March "a. - Food
Commissioner Bernard, of Indiana. is
rejoicing in the successful passage and
enactment of his model sanitation bill
for food factories, which he and his as
sociates, as committee of the Mack
mac conference of last summer, draft
ed for submission in the several states
Manufacturers, even who are favora-
bly, disposed toward sanitation of their
factories, regard it as especially rig
orous and annoying, but M Barnard
is charmed. In letter to a supporter
in this vicinity he says:
1t is the elimination of the efforts
of the consumers and food officials of
this country in their crusade for pure
food, and in my opinion is the most
satisfactory food legislation enacted in
this country since the passage of the
federal food law. The provisions are
very stringent. / call your attention
to sections 2, 5, Z, 6 and as requir-
ing conditions which have hitherto
been rarely obtained in food produc-
ing establishments. The meas

GETTING READY FOR
TARIFF STAMPS

WASHINGTON, March 24-Unusual
activity at the bureau of engraving and
printing in the installation of machines
for the printing of stamps and the
working overtime of the entire stamp
printing force, gives color to the be-
lief that the new tariff bill will con-
tain clauses re-enacting the stamp
taxes that were levied during the
Spanish American war period.
The bureau has been busy printing
millions of stamps and it is believed
that the bureau officials anticipate or
have been advised by the treasury de-
partment that the task will fall on the
bureau to produce adhesive stamps for
use on proprietary medicines, perfum-
cry, chewing gums checks, notes and
other commercial paper, light wines,
etc. Mechanics have been installing
stamp printing machines and force
has been kept busy for the entire "a
hours for several days.
Because of the limited space and
facilities of the bureau, it will be nee
essary to start work almost imme-
diately to make preparations to furnish
stamps if Congress DEGREES that stamp
taxes shall again be collected. The
ordinary work of this branch of the
Treasury department necessitates two
shifts day to print the paper money,
postage stamps, revenue stamps and
other plate printed matter.

ENGINEER WHO Is TO MAKE CON-
Meeting LINK COMES TO
AMERICA TO STUDY.
Twenty-Five Hundred Miles Yet to Be
Completed Between North and
South Africa.

NEW YORK, March 24.-F Won
Gheel Gildemeester, chief engineer of
the Cape Town Cairo railway syndi-
cate, now in charge of the operations
which, within few years, will form
the connecting link between North and
South Africa, is in the United States
to make a study of the railway systems
of this country.
"In the Cape Town Cairo railways
said Mr.. GildemeeSter, there is at
present a stretch of about $500 miles
to be completed. 1t lies between
Khartoum, in the British Egyptian
Sudan, to Broken Hill, a point in
Rhodesia. 1t is estimated that this
remaining mileage will be completed
within three years. and then the long
est railroad in the world, covering in
the neighborhood of 6,40O miles, will
be finished.
What do I estimate the total cost
to be? Very close to 100000, or
about $1,000, 100000, should say, but a
comparatively small amount when il
is considered what a glorious thing
it will be for Africa, one of the grestest
and richest countries of the world. II
will be possible for the traveller tC
journey from Berlin to Paris to Cape
Town in 10 or IL days-just think OF
that! And then it will open up q cOun-
try that is rich in almost everything

BROTHERHOOD TALKS
CIVIC CORRUPTION
M. G. Royal Gives Interesting Address
on Causes Of Graft and Rotten
ness in Cities.

"Civic Corruption is the subject that
was discussed last night by the Broth
erhood of the Presbyterian church, at
their meeting in the banquet hail.
where over so men partook of the de-
licacies furnished by the ladies. Of the
congregation, while Brunton's Orcnes-
ira furnished delightful music.
The meeting was one of the most in
teresting that has ever been held by the
Brotherhood and many of the speak
ers last night were of the best. M. G
Royal, in mis- talk showed a deep
knowledge of his subject and being
timel yand to the point, threw new light
on question that has been discussed
all over the United States by nearly
every paper in existence.
Historically speaking" said the
speaker, there never has been q time
in the annals of the word when civic
corruption did not exist, but condi-
tions never became so bad that a
leader did not rise up and lead a re-
form for betterment And there never
was a government so bad but that o
seed for good was left. Civic corrup
ton exists everywhere and will as

and especially those having affairs in

Where now, in travelling from Paris for
example, he is compelled to take a long
sea trip, he will be able, after the Gem
pletion of the road, to take train to
Brindisi, Italy, thence by boat to Alex

Cairo, where he will take the train that
will land him in Capt Town, at the
southern extreme of Africa, all In II
days. Just at the present time we are
working in a rather disaGreeable coun-
try-that is to say, a country which
has fair climate, but fever is quite
prevalent. The engineers on the work
are German, American and English,
with of course, the Kaffir as the labor
ing factor"

MODEL FACTORIES
REQUIRED BY LAW

ure is before the legislature of many
tons are that it will become the law
of number of states before the close
of the legislative sessions.
Section prescribes that floors, side
walks, ceilings, furniture, receptacles,
implements and machinery of every
establishment or place where food is
manufacturer, packed, stored, sold or
distributed, and all cars, trucks and
vehicles used in the transportation of
food products, shall at no time be kept
in an unclean, unhealthy and unsanl-
tary condition, and for the purpose Of
this act unclean, unhealthful and un-
sanitary conditions shall be deemed
to exist if food in the process of manu-
facture, preparation, packing, storing
sale, distribution or transportation is
not securely protected from flies, dust,
dirt and as far as may be necessary
by all reasonable means from all other
foreign or injurious contamination
and if the refuse, dirt and the waste
products subject to decomposition and

long as human nature lives in selfish
ness and greed" The speaker stated
that 1t seemed as if the cities are VIE
Ing with each other in trying to pro-
duce the greatest civic scandals. When
1t Is thought one scandal is settled an
other Of greater proportions comes to
light.
The cause of civic corruption" said
Mr.. Royal, 'is the intense spirit of
commercialism. In the pursuit of COM
mercial interests to the exclusion of
morality and kindred questions. COM
merc1alism then becomes a curse. In
order to solve the cause Of civic cor
ruption we must dig down and see
the reason before we can offer a rem
edy." 1t was brought out by the
speaker to do this, there must be bet
ter men and the way to get better
men was through the church. The
speaker said, 1T is the work of the
church to create sentiment and not to
mould public opinion, to instill in
everybody the necessity of doing good
and of doing their duty

from the same headquarters in
which the Fassett fight was waged
on the second floor of the Ziegler

realize instinctively that every.

cratic central committee and for
