LOOK over ''PEN" ISLE
State Senate Committee to Leaven
worth ON Purchase Investigation.

To investigate a proposal to buy the
remaining 500 acres of the Peniten-
tiary island in the Missouri river for
the object of acquiring additional
farming land and coal land rights said
to be very valuable, special commit
tee of the senate will spend Sunday
and part of Monday at the state peni-
Tertiary at Leavenworth. The inves-
tigation has been ordered on the sug-
gestion of Senator Vinton Stillings of
Leavenworth county, who with MEM
bers of the state penal board laid the
matter before the ways and means
committee. The land will cost around
$4,000.
The state already owns two-thirds
or about 1900 acres on the island.
The present plan is to buy the re-
mainder of the island. which belongs
to heirs OF a deceased proprietor. A
subcommittee of the ways and means
committee and three other senators
who are practical farmers have been
designated to make the investigation
and report. They are Senators b. E.
Wilson Of jefferson county, Carney
OF Cloud, Gray of Russell, Meek of
Nemaha, Pauley of Marshall, Lam
bertsOn of Brown, Simpson OF Nc
Pherson and Wolf of Franklin.
If their report is favorable an ap-
preparation bill will be prepared to
provide for the purchase. The island
fronts the penitentiary property at
Lansing.

Editor News-Times:-

Editor News Times
Permit us to refer to q few points
in your second editorial on the milk
question: Your suggestion that even
under municipal control pasteuriza-
ton would be of no benefit, is at
sharp variance with the practice in
New York. Chicago. Cleveland, De-
troit, Philadelphia and nearly all other
large cities of this country. In each
case the question has been fought out,
the old fOgeys always dying hard, but
in every instance where the subject
has been agitated pasteurization has
won by heavy majorities. Please note
also that in each case. all the pro-
gressive milk men have installed pas
teurizing outfits and have not been
injured in any degree.
1t is very unkind of you TO say that
pasteurizatiOn has less regard for
cleanliness, when we cannot find that
you have ever visite a pasteurizing
plant and SO cannot really know the
facts. You will find, that the pas
teurization men Of this city are with
out exception the most progressive,
is no question as to their extreme care
in accepting none but clean, pure
milk We are sure also that no one
said "PasteuriZed milk will not sour, "
and you are dead wrong when you say
sterilization would give a cooked
taste more Sickly than delicious"
Pasteurized milk will keep a little
longer than other milk because ii is
cleaner and the dangerous bacilli are
destroyed, but the ordinance calls also
for Qualification. which removes col
onies of bacteria because il removes
dirt OF all kinds and il such dirt dis
ease germs thrive. We regard this
quite as important as pasteurization,
but your article overlooked il alto
gether. 1t is true also that you can
not tell the difference in taste be-
tween milk pasteurized as we handle
II. and raw milk Of good quality.
We have possibly already used our
limited space and will therefore re-
serve some further comments till a
late,' date.

AS between Germany and the allies
there is an element of merit in the
German protest against the policy Of
her enemies with regard to starving
out" the home population. She cross
os the border-line, however. when in
her retaliation, she interferes with the
rights Of neutrals. which the allies
seem more careful not to do. Ger
many has a perfect right to "starve
out England" and to "starve out
France" if she can. II IS cruel Of
course Of Britain to prOmulgate star
walton in Germany, but it is Ger
many's weakness as well as Englands
strength that permits it. Germany
sea strength lies in her submarines
which are of small use in the charac-
ter Of work England is doing There
is no available grace. small possibility
of search. only cold destruction, open
to the submarines-all right in fight
ing battleships but not merchantmen.
Great Britain has much greater
navy than has Germany, with more
submarines as we'll as craft that d.
war business on the surface to say
nothing about cooperation with the
very strong French navy Yet we hear
little about the work OF these com
bined navies and the allied admiral
ties come in for hot criticism by those
who do not understand.
The job of the Anglo-French naval
powers is not spectacular. There's a
reason. The policy has been. from
the beginning. to "starve out Ger
many" both as 10 food and as 10
means Of prosecuting warfare. To-
day. there is no German traffic on the
seas. In other words. if Germany
can be starved" she is in a condition
10 starve.
To say that Germany cannot be
starved out" is TO say that the wisest
men in Great Britain and France
diplomats. statesmen. navy men, army
men and financiers-are fools. And
we venture a supplemental opinion,
based on the fact that nothing seems
TO draw the British navy from its
present business
1t means that the originators OF tho
policy are well satisfied with III
starving out" process or they would
abandon 1t, and Germany is growing
desuerata
