Why Meats Should Go on the Free List

Ii is encouraging 10 learn that Chairman Simmons
of tho Senate Finance Committee will oppose the
restoration Of meats to the duable list which some
weakened Senate Democrats anxious to bring
about From the rational downward revision point
of view there is no excuse for imposing duties on
meats The prices of meats Of all sorts have risen
enormously in the last ten fifteen years. and the
hard.hit consumer is right in protesting against any
legislation intended keep such necessary of life
scarce and dear.
The Department of Agriculture has just issued a
bulletin on the shortage of meat producing animals
in this country The beef cattle here numbered
81 566 900 in 1907 they number only 5000 900.
and there are no indications Of a repenishment Of
the supply since the day Of the cheap Western open
ange is past The value of other food animals Is
also increasing while their numbers are stationary
or diminishing.
The domestic producer has consequently better
protection than any tariff law could give him. He
doesn't need to be considered. But an ampler and
cheaper supply Of meats would be the greatest boon
10 those who haven't been able 10 readjust them
selves TO the modern idea that meat eating is n
luxury. Congress should do whatever it can to en-
courage the importation of meats. Fortunately Ar
gentina and Australia still have surplus supplies,
which can he put 10 some extent at the service Of

How to Get an End.Seat Hog Out of the
Police Department.

MAYOR Gaynor writes eloquenty and with justih-
able spite of the end-seat hog Great nconven-
fence" is caused by the pest. His "sehshneSs and
bogcisbness" is distressing spectacle Also and
finally the practice is the vice 'of all selfish people
especially if they be biz and fat
This is true. just and accurate. And the remedy
is plain As the Mayor urges, the proper authorities
can pass movealong ordinance that will clear the
path and send the endseat hog scuttng 10 his
corner
Is if invidious To thank the Mayor for his happy
and timely hint and urge the application Of similar
tactics by due authority to the distressing and incon
venent form of our persistent Police Commissioner?

The Census of China.

The population of China is now for the first time

Hitherto ideas of 1t have been chiefly based upon

truth was yet nearer TO it than any of the others
which have cited.
The first trustworthy Chinese census shows that
the population Of China proper is about 302 100000
excluding infants under six years, or including
the latter 320OO0OOO AS the area of the republic
is about half that OF the United States. it is com
