Federal Meat Inspection. !
A lew months ajo attention
was called to the. fact that the
borax trust and other interests im
friendly to I Jr. Wiley, in criticiz
ing the ex-chief of the llnrean of
Chemistry, took occasion to laud
the lltireau of Animal Industry.
The latter bureau iias charge of
examining the meat-supplies of
the country, and the argument of
the anti-Viley forces was that,
while tlie IJureau of Chemistry
has hail a somewhat stormy ca
reer, the liureati of Animal In
dustry was conducted "without
friction." t was stiKcsled at the
lime that apny department of gov
ernment service, supposed to he
operated in the interest of the
public, which yot along "without
friction" was to lie viewed with
suspicion. Recent developments
seem to The Journal of the Ameri
can Medical Association to point
to the source of the lubricant
which has permitted the Jiurcau
of Animal Industry to operate
without friction developing be
tween themselves and the vested
interests concerned. The llureau
of Chemistry has. it is true, been
much criticized in the last four
or live years but the criticisms
have come not from the consum
ers, but from the manufacturers.
Now the llureau of Animal Indus
try is coming in for its share of
criticism, but with this difference,
that representatives of the con
sumer and not of the packing
houses are the critics. Charges
have been made by competent and
unbiased observers that the fed
eral meat inspection laws arc ad
ministered in the interest of the
packers rather than for the pro
tection of the public, ami that
meal that would not be accepted
at the ports of entry in Kuropc
is passed by the federal meal in
spectors for home consumption.
As might be expected, the investi
gation of the llureau of Animal
I'liduslry exhibits Secretary Wil
son and Solicitor McCabe "run
ning to form" as special pleaders
for the "interests." The enor
mous harm done to the death of
the American people through the
maladministration of the Food
ami and I )ruir Act and the fed
eral meat inspection law can hard
ly be estimated. The responsi
bility for il rests n Secretary
Wilson and Solicitor McCahr,
whose incompetency or some
thing else has rendered the en
forcement of these laws a joke.
Out of the Race.
The New York World, a news
paper that has been somewhat
partial to Mr. Harmon, says:
"(iovernor llarmon needed a
more decisive vindication lliuw
Mr. Taft, in view of the aggres
sive campaign that Mr. Bryan
made against him. lie failed to
gain this vindication. That thou
sands of Ohio democrats, in a
comparatively small vole, shou'.d
have expressed their preference
for the governor of New Jersey as
against the governor of their own
stale is a decision without prece
dent i'.'i the history of democratic
politics in thai stale. The W il
son vote is doubly significant, in
view of the fact that I inventor
Harmon was re-elected less than
two years ago by a plurality of
more than UHl.lHKI. Coventor
Harmon's one chance at Balti
more, in view of Mr. Urvan's bit
ter opposition to his noniraatiou,
was to demonstrate thai he had
th'c complete confidence of the
Ohio democrais and could sweep
his stale. This chance is now
blighted. Il looks as if the one
unmistakable verdict of the Ohio
primaries is thai no t Ihio candi
date, democrat or republican, shall
be president. t Ihio repudiates
Ohio."
The proposed retirement of
Senator Crane, lias caused neith
er regret or sorrow among the
ci'.icns of Massachusetts.
Crane a- never a man of the
plain people, '.lever a champion ot
popular rights and has never ren
dered any real service to his na
tive stale or to his country.
A born aristocrat, and elected
to his present high position
through the inlluence of favor
seeking corporations. Crane
would have laid himself open to
the charge of ingratitude, had he
failed ihe "interests" in their
hour of need.
No, ingratitude is one charge
which can not he laid at the door
of Murray Crane. He has been
faithful to the corporations, but in
so doing has betrayed the people
of Massachusetts and the latter
are now ready to "speed the part
ing guest."

With a smile and a wave of his hand
to the thousands who watched him,
Philip O. Parmelee, the aviator, took

his lifeless and broken body was
draped from beneath the wreckage
of his biplane in an orchard in tlie
lower end of Moxee valley, two miles
from the starting point. The exact
taue of the disaster will probably
never be known.
As he rose it was noticed his bi
plane slipped and seemed to be con
trolled with dilHeuIty. When he had
, i,n.i:e about two miles he swung in a
circle to ma' e the return journey.
As he squared away with the wind
nis plane was cnecKeu in us course,
fluttered tor a second and plunged to
the ground.
It was thought by Parmelee's me
chanicians that a sudden gust from
one of the draws or small canyons
struck the machine and rendered it
unnianagable. His body was dragged
from underneath the wrecked ma-
