MARKETING OF POULTRY
Expert Opinion in Favor of Prevailing
Methods.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In your issue OF January q appears
4 complaint signed Southern Woman" in
which she wonders why the poultry that is
bought in tho Northern market is not more
wholesome. In the South, she says, a
chicken is supposed to be drawn before IT is
cold. and she thinks this ought TO be done
where she now lives I'm New York City.
This lady forgetS. as do most complain
ants, that conditions surrounding the mar
keting Of poultry in large cities are en-
tirely different from those which obtain
in small country places. She also falls into
the common error which has been preva-
lent for many years concerning the merits
OF marketing poultry drawn or undra wn
There have been many believing themselves
experts who have insisted. as she does. that
marketing poultry without removing the
entrails is an unwholesome and dangerous
method.
You might cali the attention of this COM
plainant to the recent report of DR.. Mary
Il. Pennington. expert OF the United States
Department Of Agriculture, who has only
recently completed an investigation COW
ering several years on this subject In
summarizing these tests, Dr. Pennington
says:
"Undrawn poultry decomposes more
slowly than does poultry which has been
either partly or wholly eviscerated." This
is the government verdict on this subject
II YOU kill your own poultry in your own
backyard you naturally draw it at once
II you live in a city and buy poultry. it
must necessarily have been killed a consid-
cradle time before YOU receive it. You will
admit that conditions are different. on this
matter We must take the verdict OF the
government experts. which verifies the ex-
perience OF the trade. Under such circum-
stances. poultry marketed with the interior
OF the carcass exposed TO the action OF the
air, dirt. the attack OF varieties of harm
full bacteria, etc, must necessarily be H.
able to deteriorate more rapidly than poul-
try marketed with the interior OF the carcass
unopened. and thus protected from such
harmful outside influences. A careful read
ing of DR.. Penningtons report Will clear
up much general misunderstanding on this
subject. PAUL j. ALDRICH.

that am opposed to the United States
immigration Commissions proposed edu-
cational test for immigrants. The idea
OF restricting immigration by an educa-

We all know that our greatest men

JycRFtSJNG EXECUTIVE POWER.

Mr.. Henry L. Stimson. in his speech

strengthening the office Of Governor 10
cure the present mefficency of state gov
crnments. He would have the Gov
ornOr'S term heightened and the minor
state officers made appointive, after the
analogy of the Presidents Cabinet. For
both of these changes strong arguments
can be arrayed Furthermore. Mr. sum
son thinks that the Governor should
have the undisputed right not only 10
frame but TO introduce his own legisla-
five measures. such mea sureS having
precedence on the legislative calendar.
Such formal constitutional change as
the last would involve will probably
never he made. unless by some OF the
experimenting states Of the West. Nor
will il he necessary. The growth OF
the Governors power and influence Will
take care of itself. in spite Of such dis

in New York The feeling Of dissatiS-
faction az Mr. DiX's leaning over back
ward out of respect for the constitutional
proprieties is evidence that wise and up

ably do TO make the executive potent

PRINCE ARTHTR ~ C1NADI

The appointment of Prince Arthur.
Duke of COnnaught, 10 be Governor Gen
eral Of Canada is an Interesting incident
from several points of view. and from at
least one OF them may be- decidedly
significant. The duke is the only sur
viving brother Of the late king and uncle
of the present sovereign and Is thus
the senior male member of the immedi-
ate royal family. He is, therefore. the
most eminent parsonage who could be
selected for the place, circumstance
which will doubtless be appreciated in
the Dominion and in the United States.
He is also much more than that. He has
long been known as both n soldier and
IL statesman Of unusual capacity and
force he has been intrusted with
number and variety OF commissions If
importance and he has discha rged them
with ability He will be not merely a
distinguished figurehead of the Domin-
ion government, but may he expected 10
be a hard working aud efficient repre-
sentative of the sovereign In the chief
self-coverning colony Of the empire
The most interesting speculative feat
urc Of the case is, obviously. the possible
relation between this appointment and
the pending scheme Of commercial reci-
procity between the Dominion and the
United States II Is no secret that the
fear has found expression in Great Brit
ian that this country has designs upon
the possession Of Canada. and that
reciprocity Is meant as Il step toward
annexation. That has been repeatedly af-
firmcd in the most direct manner by
prominent aud Influential British jour
nails. and we arc told tnat at the pres
ent moment it forms the basis vi vide
