to make laughing stock of the au-
| thorities
"It Is because of dirty competition
that we are now making lower quail
| ity of dairy products than we ever
made before"
Commissioner Wiegle, following
| Professor Lee, said:
THE tuberculosis cow is not the
only danger which confronts the but
ter eating public. Under our present
uncontrolled conditions men who have
| tuberculosis in it's worst stages are
working in the creameries."
The names of dirty creameries were
| mentioned by the commissioner with
| such freedom of speech that little
short of a panic ensued.
The opponents of the bill to license
creamery products, which Commits
sioner Wiegle and Professor Lee were
urging the Senate to pass, were on
their feet constantly, with their law
yers, interrupting. The chamber was
full of sulphur and birthstone.
The law makers, provoked by the
very violence of the scene, were be-
ginning to believe that all was not
we'll.
When one of the creamery men.
after declaring that the sanitary con-
ditions of the State of Wisconsin were
| the finest in the world as far as cheese
and butter factories were concerned,
was asked if he knew the meaning of
b. coli, shouted, There is no such
thing as b. coli" it became clear to
the representatives of the people that
they were dealing with prejudice and
passion, not with facts.
IT was following this tempestuous
scene, of which l was an eyewitness,
that the Legislature of the State Of
Wisconsin enacted a law for the licens-
| ing of cheese factories and creameries

outward cleanliness of the plants and
did not in any manner, directly or
| indirectly, control the character of the
cream, the health of the cows, the
health of the workers, or the necessity
| of pasteuriZation.
"If the New York State authorities,
commented Commissioner Wiegle,
had required pasteurized butter three
| years ago our butter makers would
| have given them such butter. They
never will produce such butter until
the law compels them to-
The New York authorities, declaring
| there would be butter famine If they
| interfered, will never make such de-
| mands.
Here, then, is the unbridged gap
| that separates the people from pas
teurized butter.
The authorities do not require pas
| teurized butter in spite of the fact
! JnaL tney TeQulTe pdSIeuTlZeu nllh.
| They justify this sin of omission by
the statement that they fear the but
ter makers will refuse to give them
| what they want.
On the other hand, the butter MAX
ers frankly confess that they would
have produced just such butter years
ago had it been required of them to
do SO.
Thus in a shiftless and purposeless
period of compromise the public has
been caught between the wheels of
| fear on the one side and standpatism
on the other while thousands of chill
dren have been MANNED or killed in
| the process.
Nationwide dairy inspection and
! compulsory pasteurization are the
only instruments available for the
suppression of these evils.

makers based on a sweeping denial of
every detail of the exposure.
Professor C.E. Lee and Dairy Com
missioner George j. Wiegle had stated
the truth to the Legislators of Wis
consin at Madison, July 2S, 1915. In
the general hysteria that followed the
exposure, the truth as outlined by
these two authorities was dismissed.
Professor Lee, charging that the
Wisconsin butter makers, were dis
gracing the State. had said, Gentle
men of the Senate, we have in this
State large number of sanitary
creameries which are not in any man.
ner affected as regards cleanliness by
what l or anybody else may say about
them. But we have still larger num-
Der of creameries that don't know
what sanitation is.
I'VE are still making one-sixth of
all the creamery butter produced in
the United States. But we are MAX
ing butter and cheese which, if la
beled as coming from the State of
Wisconsin, would disgrace the State.
Many of our creameries are as
dirty as they dare be and others are
Just clean enough to dodge the law.
We are sick of fining their operators
S25 only to see them turn back the
very next day to their dirty methods.
We have hundreds of creameries
we have no power to condemn them.
The dairy commissioner is absolutely
at ther mercy. as regards his ability
to interfere with the rotten conditions
against which we are here to COM
plain.
Under the present uncontrolled
situation which now confronts us we
cannot shut up factory or a cream
cry no matter how rotten it may be.
We have no law which empowers us
to resort to such methods. For ten
years we have been talking about en-
forcing dairy laws, but all our talk
has been futile.
Here stands creamery owner who
has dared to tell you that he will not
submit to any interference in his
twenty factories by any State official.
This man has been arrested on num-
erous occasions for maintaining un-
sanitary conditions. On every occa-
sion jury of farmers, pronouncing
him not guilty, has acquitted him, only

The question is often asked in mo-
torcar circles as to whether Dodge
Brothers have devoted much attention
to export business.
While officials of the company
maintain their usual reticence in dis
cussing matters of policy, 1t is known
that the company has had a very sue
cessful year in export lines and that
Dodge Brothers cars have won a pop
ularity abroad that rivals the esteem
in which 1t is held at home.

Ought to be Confirmed.

(From the Christian Register.)
If Mr.. Brandeis should be confirmed
as Justice of the Supreme Court at
Washington, that body will be marked
in religious affairs by a wholesome
heterogeneity. The Chief Justice is
Roman Catholic, Mr.. Brandeis will
stand over against him at the oppo-
site extreme as a Jew, and between
will come the usual variety. Prob
ably the range between the two ex-
tremes will include the liberality of
Unitarian training and the stern
ness of orthodox Presbyterian. In
this country it is new thing for a
Jew to be promoted to a station of
such high honor In England it is a
commonplace phenomenon. The Lord
Mayor Of London, the Lord Chancel-
lor, and a Prime Minister, with others,
have been Jews who have served their
country without exciting animosity.
Into the melting-pot of American life
all nationalities, politics, and religions
are being thrown; and the amalgam
which will be the result, it is to be
hoped, will be fit to take the stamp
Of the noblest patriotism and ideal
ism. .
