Advice on Babcock Tester.


June LIST is the time for the IL
censes which users OF the Babcock
tester must buy, to become opera
tive" said Food and Dairy Commits
sioner Barney. Il am now sending
out blank applications to dairymen
and creameries all over the state.
The law provides that the licenses
issued to operators of the Babcock
tester shall become effective after
May 31st. This gives the operators
of these tests a comparatively short
time in which to procure them. They
are required to pay into this depart
ment the sum Of $3.50 for each H.
cense. Another thing that the opera
tors should understand is that II a
farmer procures license, 1t does
not give his hired man the legal right
to operate tester on that mans
farm"

IOWA HEALTH BOARD
~
Legislature Doubles Secretary's
Salary and Reduces Fund
ONLY $4,000 FOR REAL WORK
Comparison With Amounts Furnished
BY Other States Shows Iowa a.
Twenty-ninth In List Of
Thirty-two.

Des Mobnes. Sec. Sumner of the
board of health. in looking over the
appropriation for his department,
found that while the legislature had
doubled his salary, making it ST.
400, that the board will actually have
$500 less for health work than it had
under the old appropriation. One
item of $4,000 is for the state board
Of health, and from this the salary
of the secretary is paid. Under the
old plan salary OF a clerk had to
be paid out Of this, which left ST.
900 for actual health work. Now
the clerk Is provided for by appropri-
alton, and with a doubled salary to
come out of the $4,000, there is ST.
600 for actual health work. But the
$4,000 increase given by the legisla-
ture is in appropriations for the 9TH
er bureaus and does not include the
secretary's salary.
OF the thirty-two states which
make appropriations for state board
of health work, twenty-nine have
larger appropriations than Iowa. This
state was at the tail end of the list
until the last legislature got busy.
The present appropriation for the de-
partment is $4,000. 1t was formerly
$1,000.
The following are the appropria-
lions:
Pennsylvania, $1,500,0O0; New York,
$4,000; Massachusetts,. s140,500; Ili-

PIONEER OF THE AIR
he New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
 It doesn't detract from the achieve ment of Calbraith P Rodgers, the Amer ican aviator. who has travelled in an aeroplane across the continent, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, that he pursued the route of least resistance and took his time to reach the goal Only a man of sterling courage and undaunted resolu- ton would have dared to follow the Southern Pacific through New Mexico, ! Arizona and southeastern California. Calbraith F. Rodgers, flying high in the pure air of the desert in space that seemed illimitable and unsupporting and with the majestic San Bernardino moun- tains on one side and south of him the San Jacinto range, is figure to be en- vied. A man without imagination could not have done the thing. It drew him on liko a magnet, and he must have re- veled in the experience. Of all the pioneers he is the most picturesque. The prairie schooner, the locomotive, the fy- ing machine, we wonder what the eagle and the coyote must think of the powers of the white men.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Underwood Commanding Figure

"Oscar Underwood, chairman of the ways and means committee as demo- cratic leader in the House, is easily the most commanding figure in the demo- cratic party" said W. F. Northern of West Virginia. Governor Harmon of Ohio and Governor Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey are distinguished men, of course. They are well in the spot light. The fact is that Governor Harmon has been considered an exceptionally strong candidate for the democratic nomina- tion in 1912. and he may be selected as the standard bearer of his party. but I have an idea that when the time comes Underwood will have such a mighty following in the convention that he will be nominated without much of a con- test. I hear democrats everywhere now talking in favor of Underwood. and pre- dieting that he will be the democratic nominee for the presidency.
 T am a republican and expect to see President Taft renominated and re- elected. But the republicans will have no easy job on their hands if such a leader as Underwood be selected to carry the democratic standard

 The college roll of four years inter- yening between 's1-'s5 comprised their names and student body which within the same space of time has perhaps never been excelled for ability and sub sequent distinction in the university's entire history.

 An average annual loss in wrecks fin ex cess of S2,00O.000 in the Caribbean Sea di- rects attention to certain problems in this basin. considered as the Atlantic approach to the Panama canal, now nearing com pletion. That the stated loss is due prin- cipally to conditions which can be reme- died is recognized by all maritime au- thorities.

THE LADY OR THE TIGER.
Theodore F. wofe: Literary Ramble

Theodore F. Wofe: Literary Rambles"
 Q9O1)s
 The much discussed sketch, 'The Lady or the Tiger?" which drove a host of readers to the brink of madness, was written nearly 20 years ago, but the epistolary and controversial conse- quences of that conundrum have accu- pied not a little of the authors time and attention ever since. Letters from all sorts and conditions of people. de- manding or entreating private informa- . tion as. to which door the lover opened, have come in such numbers that MT. Stockton once contemplated having a printed answer prepared declaring that he had no idea himself which it was. Letters of inquiry are still received. but in diminishing numbers, and usual ly from the second generation of read CTS of the perplexing problem. The correspondents who themselves gave an express answer to the question were about evenly divided in opinion be- tween the lady and the tiger; 1t is nota- ble that the poet Browning was among those who thought that the lady sent her lover to the. tiger A more felicitious termination is foreshadowed by still another version in which the princess herself is secreted behind the door on the right. while a friend of hers, disguised in her robes, occupies her seat by the kings side, and by a movement of the hand to the right in dicates to the lover which door he shall open.

Kansas Expedition and Chicago
 Delays

About a month ago young woman was tarred in Kansas, and yet her assailants have been indicted, tried and lodged in jail. All but one either pleaded guilty or were found guilty. Four are actually in jail and two more will soon join them. Only one escaped with verdict of acquittal. So much for expedition in a Kansas court. Give the state and her courts due credit.
 But how about the packers in Chicago federal courts? They are not in jail. They have not been brought to trial, not man of them, and they outnumber the tarrers of Kansas. For 10 years they have utilized one delay after another, and they are still find ing means to postpone their trial. II they knew they had not transgressed the criminal sections of the Sherman law, would they avoid trial year aft CT year? They know themselves that they are guilty and that fair mind ed and just and courageous jury would speedily put them where the dogs could not bite them.
 The contrast between Kansas ex- petition in the tarrers' cases and Chicago delay in the meat packers cases should be made a national issue. It is simply shameful and an abuse of justice and of all right to let the packers plead first one thing and another in avoidance of trial while the tayrers were hurried to trial. Certainly in no respect do the packers deserve especial considera- tion. The tarrers of Kansas were vile, while the packers are extortion- ate, trampling the law under foot trusting to their lawyers to keep them out of the pen, no matter what they do.
 Unless the packers are soon brought to trial after a series of de- lays covering 10 years, it should be confessed by the courts and the ad- aninistration that the criminal laws
 
 are intended for application to the poor only, leaving the rich and pow erful to plead one thing and another to the end of their lives. For that is just what the packers cases mean as they stand today.
