Fathers Day.

Fathers day passed quietly. Many
pleasant words were said Of father.
and some of them were true. In the
churches many pastors had a good
word to say Of father as a general
principle. TobacconistS say that the
honored with cigars, pipes, pouches,
smoking tobacco and plug for chew
ing. Perhaps some doting offspring
took chocolates and bonbons to
father. but those who carried to him
a pipe or bundle Of cigars knew him
better. For the father who has passed
on there were flowers for his grave.
II his spirit were conscious he loved
best the blooms that came from the
old home yard.
There are many good points about
father. He is q pretty good sort. with
all the frailties of his sex. He does
not touch the sensibilities Of boys with
homemade sugar cookies. ginger
bread. pound cake. apple pie, hot bis
cult and peach preserves as mother
does. But he can tell stories Of In
dams and OF his victories over them
and other desperate men which make
young hair stand on end. Why. we
boys believed that father could shoot
as straight and quicker than any other
man who wore boots. He could hsht
80 fast and gloriously that he was
unlickabie. When father was a boy
he was the fastest foot racer, the
truest marble shooter and the best
lariat thrower in the country. We
were led to think that the Civil War
would not have been fought had he
been absent. 1t was he who brought
about the surrender at Appomattox,
or, on the other hand. or other side,
II Lee had taken his advice there
would not have been a surrender at
Appomattox.
As we got older and believed that
we had gathered to ourselves all
knowledge worth having. we began to
look on father as somewhat OF four
fiusher, but as we grew still older and
gained useful knowledge we veered to
the opinion that though father may
not have been the greatest American
of his time, he was q pretty good old
sport. He did not have our modern
notions about the evils Of lotteries.
seyen.up and toddies, and there are
many of our cults and isuls he never
heard of and would not sanction If he
had, but still, here is a flower to his
memory. With the girls father was
always a hero. AS he grew older the
girls loved him more. Passing into
Silence and Mystery the girls, perhaps
grown gray. think Of father with a
tenderness they cannot toll.

End Of a Long Man Hunt.

A man hunt that has lasted over II
years came to an end yesterday in
New York. when ]. W. DeKay, in
custody of an agent Of the Depart
ment Of Justice, landed in New York
from England, a prisoner charged
with completely in a bank failure at
Providence, r. I. DeKay was. indicted
In April. 1913. for miapplioation Of

Washington's Meat Markets.

A charge of insanitary conditions
in the meat markets Of Washington is
brought by the Department Of Agri-
sarding the conduct Of this branch OF
the food-purveying business in the
cities Of this country. The Capital is
named as one Of seven cities as "out-
standing examples where sanitary
methods are lacking in the retailing of
meat"
This is surprising allegation. The
health officer OF the District expresses
his astonishment that Washington
should be thus included in the list Of
cities where sanitary methods are lack
ing. The local Health Department. he
points out. has prided itself on the
rigid enforcement Of the pure food
laws, both Federal and District. In
spectors are constantly making rounds
examining food supplies. and bringing
charges and effecting confscations
whenever impure foods are found. The
sanitary conditions In the markets are
under constant inspection, and this is
the first intimation for years that they
are not satisfactory.
II conditions are as the departments
statement indicates, refornlatory meas.
ures must at once be adopted. There
Is no need Of additional law. The pres
ent statutes are adequate for the pro.
lection of the consumers of food. Pos
Nbly the number of inspectors is not
sufficient. DIR. Fowler, however,
though he could, Of course, effectively
use a larger force. AYERS that the in
spection is adequate. Evidently a DIFF.
ference Of judgment exists between
the local and the Federal authorities.
Though the departments statement
does not specify Washington, its gen.
eral allegation is that in addition to
the insanitary vending OF meats deal
ers are guilty Of deceptions as to
qualities and extortions in price. Such
q broad statement cannot be accepted
as proof. 1t may be that fraudulent
methods are practiced here, that short
weights are given. that inferior meats
are sold for tho price of superior
grades. that, in short, actual fraud is
practiced on the purchasers. 1t Is
surely in order for the Department Of
Agriculture TO produce proof of these
charges, which, standing as they do in
sweeping terms, assaiI the credit OF all
dealers and likewise weaken the faith
Of consumers In the integrity of pur.
veyors of this necessity.
