Town Farm Cattle Condemned

condemned cattle OF the Woodstock

llngton for slaughter and inspection.

witness the proceedings.
II is safe to say they saw and
learned many things. Every one con-
nected with the rendering plant was
courteous and obliging, willing to
show them and answer questions.
Nothing is secret or done behind a
curtain. Each animal is numbered,
killed, skinned and all internal or
gans removed. These are placed on
table and thoroughly examined by
government inspector, who also ex.
amines the meat II the disease has
developed TO such a degree as to
effect the tissues OF the meat Il is
at once conveyed to the rendering
vat; II slightly diseased the carcass is
washed and the government seal is
attached when II is sold for food. It
is the property Of tn state till sold
on commission.
OF the town herd seven were saved
for food and nine went to the render
ing vat. Some were badly diseased,
others but little, yet all we're bad
enough so that anyone could see H.

enjoys il. We say that the demand
of justice is that the men that Gre
ate wealth must possess the wealth
that they create We say that in
this respect also the present system
is as unnecessary as absurd. And
fe declare now and always that the
Socialist party is the workingmen
party. and that its first object is to
right the economic injustice now prac
ticed upon labor. We believe in the
wOrkingmen's government; We be-
lieve that labor alone is honorable
And We point to the present work
ingmens government OF Milwaukee,
installed by the Socialist party, as an
example of the condition we aim to
achieve. We call attention to the
universal admission that it is the
best government Milwaukee ever had
that it is admitted to be absolutely
honest, efficient, capable and devoted
to the common good; that it has
| abolished corruption and political
Vaccination; that it shows almost
the only bright spot in the dark field
Of American municipalities. And we
say that this is what men do and
what they achieve when they are in,
spired with the ideal, which is the
ideal of service, brotherhood and free
opportunity for all.
These things become daily more
apparent. The true nature of tho
Socialist faith grows clearer to the
world. Men now perceive that il
means not harm to any one, but only
good to all. It is the next great steT
in the progress OF the race, the next
advance of democracy, as inevitably
the successor Of capitalism was the
successor of feudalism.
1t holds out to the world the cure
for war, the cure for poverty the
cure for prostitution, the cure fol
the greater part of the physical mis-
cries that now afIlict the race. 1t is
no dreamy Utopia that we offer, but
the plain and practical application
Of the principles OF common sense

Parents who continue to hold to
the misguided impression that chill
dren are bound to have whooping
cough some time and who therefore
neglect to take proper precautions
against their children contracting the
disease will find food for reflection
in the annual report of the board Of
health for the city of Burlington. In
that city last year the number Of
deaths from whooping cough was
four times larger than from the
thoroughly dreaded diphtheria.
There were eight deaths out of "a
cases of whooping cough and only
four fatalities out of GA cases of diph-
iberia. In other words there were
nearly twice as many cases Of diph-
iberia and only half as many deaths.
