REAL MINcE MEAT

Dr.. H. W. Wiley, the government
food expert, has been looking into the
composition OF mince meat, real and
spurious, and has made public the fol-
lowing official definition of the gem
uine article.
Mince meat is mixture of not
less than 10 per cent OF cooked. com
minuted meat, with chopped sue., ap-
pie and other fruits. salt and spices
and with sugar. sirup or molasses,
and with or without vinegar, fresh,
concentrated or femented fruit juices,
or spirituous liquors.
The announcement came too late TO
be of any benefit during the recent
holiday season, but DR.. Wiley is hope
ful that by another year people viii
have placed the ban on the spurious
article. The real mission of mince
meat is thus defined by DR.. Wiley:
SO far as my researches have gone,
mince meat in the form of a mince
pie was originally intended to put a
fine, artistic edge on the New England
Christmas dinner nightmare, and the
Imitation product has turned this
nightmare into one of hideous proper
/ tons.
Modern mince pie made by baker
with some of the pie filings has about
as much relation TO the genuine old
mince pie as counterfeit coin has to
the real article. The holes in the
crust are about the closest resem-
blance.
Il am a protagonist of genuine
nlince pie and the antagonist of the
Imitation mince pie
/ May Dir. Wiley's shadow never grow
less. nor his appetite become dulled,
| nor his taste less discriminating,

reduced in price to the consumer.
The new low tariff schedule on
shoes had not been in effect forty
eight hours when the Massachusetts
shoe manufacturers, who have plenty
of protection under their longtime
patent rights, Immediately raised the
price of shoes one dollar per pair.
Most of the American tanning and
leather establishments closed their
doors because they could not maintain
the American wage scale and compete
with European tanners.
European tanners at once BEGAN to
take our American hides and send
back the finished product to this coun-
try.
And the price of shoes is to be
raised still higher.
However, the voters seem to be han
kering for that sort of thing Just now,
and it is barely possible they would
find pleasure in paying $40 per pair
for shoes if at the same time assured
that the tariff ripping crusade would
be continued for an indefinite period.

LaFollette Defeats Himself.

Cedar Rapids Republican, When
Mr.. LaFollette started out on his
series of speeches. it was feared that
the newspapers would not print his
utteranees as fully as his promoters
desired. But the newspapers have not
hesitated to print what he has been
saying. II any newspaper were OBJ.
posed TO his nomination for the presi,.
dencs, Trey have been the most eager
to print his speeches, for those
speeches have done more to snow that
he is unfit for the high offfce than
anything that the editors themselves
could eonJure up. Mr. LaFolIette has
III fact already defeated himself. He
mas utterly Impressed the public with
his unfitness. His friends had hoped
that he would make speeches that
would give the country an idea that
there is at least now and then a
sober thought in his mind But he
has gone from one excess to another
IL ne We're seeking the nomination at
The hands OF the socialists. he would
have succeeded, but appealing to the
hlstofc republicanism of the country.
II must be confessed that he has made
a failure of it. Mr.. Bryan would
come much nearer fitting the repub-
lican idea for the presidency than
Mr. LaFollette.
What Mr.. LaFollette needs more
than brains is a stomach that can
mold something substantial. He talks
like the confirmed dyspeptic that he
u.s. If he could digest few beef
steaks, he would be able 10 take
more normal view of matters. 1t all
ways will be unsafe to put men with
out stomachs in important offices.
They are all right as agitaiors and
as professors. and in those ways they
often serve useful ends. but for the
higher and executive offices OF the
nation, they are wholly unfit.

A GREAT ENGINEERING FEAT.

Neither the engineers of the coun-
try nor the general public have any
adequate conception OF the immensity
of the engineering project that is in
course of development here in keo-
huk. Despite all that has been print
ed on the subject, most peoples ideas
regarding IT are exceeding vague and
uncertain. But the work of education
! IS going on surely, and it is not too
much to hope that in time jnforma-
ton respecting it viii be general and
definite. People who have visited
