Thorough Inspection Wanted.
Just to show what a skim milk kind of
an annual visit the State Dairy and Food
Commissioner made in Tillamook, we
have ascertained the time that Mr. J. W.
Bailey spent in a few of the factories. So
we will take his visit to the Tillamook
Dairy Association’s factory ut Fairview
as a criterion. This is probably the lar
gest creamery in the State of Oregon, for
the milk it handled this summer amount
ed to about 14,000 pounds daily. Mr.
Bailey sacrifice! twenty minutes visiting
this factory ! Was he able to ascertain
in that length of time whether or not
the product manufactured at that fac
tory was pure and free from microbes ?
Not much. What Mr. Bailey will report
about Tillamook in his annual report
after making such a superficial inspection
of only a few of rhe creameries in the
county is hard to tell. This is the posi
tion that the Headlight takes, if the
creameries are to be inspected by state
officials, let it be done thoroughly and
scientifically so as to ascertain the purity
and cleauliness of the milk received at the
factory, sanitary arrangements of the
factory, and the purity and wholesome
ness of the butler or cheese manufactur
ed. The idea of calling a junketing out
ing an inspection of creameries is all fool
ishness, and if the state legislators want
to benefit the dairying industry in this
state they will pass a law making in
specting of creameries thorough and by
a person scientifically qualified to do so.
Government inspection of creameries in
Canada, cheese makers who come from
there tell us, is thorough, and unless we
can have some thorough system in Ore
gon, we would advise the state legisla
ture to pay the State Dairy and Food
Commissioner to stay home in the future
to throw a few more and larger bou.

A Religious Graft.
The Oregonian has raised the question
of the seeming connection of the Divinity
School at Eugene with that of the State
University, and rightly so. for it is plain
enough that the Divinity School students
are getting part of their education for
which the Divinity School authorities
does not pay. To put it plain, the Divi
nity School has grafted itself onto the
State University. That is conclusive, or
it would have provided teachers to in
struct its students the same as any other
college. But that is not all, it looks to
us that it savors of dishonesty on the
part of the Divinity School authorities
when they establish an institution like
that and depend upon the state to pro
vide instructors for the students. It is a
religious graft, and nothing that we have
read in the controversy has made us
change our opinion after reading the
Oregonian's first editorial on the subject.
Another thing, we believe, it the Ore
gonian sifted the matter down a little
more it would find that in previous vears
that the University and Divinity Students
have not assimilated, and thereby a
spirit of antagonism was discernable, to
such an extent that the Divinity School
students have been favored in a number
of instanci a liecause they lielonged to the
Divinity School “ring,” much to the an
noyance of the University students.
A “Kill and Burn” Hero.
Somehow we have an idea that Gene
ral J. H. Smith, who had command of
the Samar campaign in the Philippine
Islands, and issued the orders to “Kill
and Burn,” for which he was tried by
court martial, found guilty and retired
by the president, is not deserving of the
censure which is being heaped upon him.
It s easy enough« t home and far away
from the fig iting line to criticise, but
wlen one has to deal with half civilised,
treacherous people,as General Smith had,
it is a totally different affair. For that
reason we think he should not be tin.
justly condemned. Probably lie sized up
the situation and saw that it was wise
to be cruel, and he adopted that method
of warfare when all others had failed.
General Smith is too advanced in years
to be considered reckless or indiscreet, as
a younger man might lie ; and. another
thing, we cannot believe that an Ameri
can officer, holding the position that he
did. would issue such orders unless he
saw that it was absolutely necessary
and wise to do so. The yellow journals
and the antis have done much to lower
the moral character ol American soldiers
in the sight of the world, but they have
purposely refrained from taking into con
sideration the treacherous, half civilized
people they bad to fight. As we said
before, it is easy to find fault, but wai is
war, and it is a foolish notion for people
nt home to think that it can be carried
on on the strictly humane plan w hen dif
ffcrent conditions have to l»e overcome.
War is blood, murder and destruction,
nnvway, and the armv that can do the
most carnage in the quickest time is
about as humane as one can expect it to
tie, for that is what it is equipped for
with all the latest fire arms and imple
ments of war. We think this was Gene
ral Smith’s idea after he sired up the situ
ation at Samar and gave his ord'rs t »
“Kill and Burn,” but this appears to
have shocked the sentimentalism of some
people that they have stirred up a tern-1
I>est in a tea-kittle, with the result
that the general has been made a kind of
scape goat to satisfy the foolish public
clamor of the antis and those who im
agine that their fine feeling have been
outraged.
We have not forgotten the Abyssilia,
Afghan, Zulu and Burmah wars in which |
England was engaged in with savages
and half-civilized people and religious
fanatics, and generals in those wars had
to be cruel to be kind iti order to bring
about a termination of hostilities and a
better civilization. It did not shock
the English people, for they know from
experience that General Smith’s plan of
war with those people is the only hu
mane way of dealing with them. No
matter how hard it is for him to bear the
disgrace, when the American people once
realize what he had to contend w ith they
will come to the conclusion he acted
about right, after all. If the war in the
Philippine Islands had been carried on
more after the “Kill and Burn” plan,peace
would have followed in a few months
after the American army arrived there
but generals like Otis were such molly
coddles to undertake drastic measures.
We have no patience with those at home
who seem to think that the American
army ought to have been a little mis
sionary army. It was sent there to fight
and carry on a bloody war, and if one
general saw that it was necessary to
make the war a little more bloody than
common, then give him credit for his
good judgment and not turn round and
abuse him, as the antis are. In our esti
mation General Smith is as much an hero
as any general who commanded in those
islands, for he knew the kind of medicine
that would cure a treacherous, blood
thirsty, half-civilized people.
TRACY BOBS UP AGAIN.
But is Going at the Rate of Thirty
Miles a Day.
S pokank , Aug. 1—A Waterville ape-
ciai to the 8pokestnan-Beview says:
George McCann has just arrived with
a repoit that at 9 o’clock thia morning,
about 15 miles west of Bnlee City, he
passed a man answering Tracy’s descrip
tion. He had the horses supposed to
have been taken near Wenatchee. Deputy
Sheriff Friel and City Marshal Deyers
left last night to intercept Tracy at Moses
Lake, the only route that could be taken
if he is headed for the mountains. Dep
lily Sheriff Sedgwick, of Coulee City,
has been directed to follow up the clew
reported by McCann. Tracy crossed the
Columbia at 5 o'clock this morning, and
could easily have covered the distance
between the ferry and the point where
McCann met the man answering his
description.
Tracy has declared that he wants to
hold up a bank or rob an express car.
He says he has promised to give the sum
of $5000 within one year to the parties
who helped him escape from the Oregon
Penitentiary. He is making his way to
the “Hole-in-the-Wall,” in Wyoming.
When there, he declares, he will lie a
“thief among thieves,’’and will be safe.
place on the premises, he directed all to
group themselves under the trees and on
the porch while he pre-empted one end of
the porch himself, and stretched himself
at his ease. The afternoon dragged
through slowly. As supper time ap
proached Tracy allowed Mrs. Mac
Eldowney to prepare the meal, which
was eaten under the same arrangements
as before. Tracy’s nervousness showed
strongly during the long afternoon wait.
He would lie down and then jump up
and pace up and down like a caged
animal. He talked rapidly, almost
hysterically at times, but with it all he
showed great cunning in avoiding all
reference to his past or future course.
Supper over, the convict began to
show signs of activity. He ordered his
horses unsaddled and looked them over
critically. They were good horses, one a
bav and one a buckskin, but they showed
signs of having been ridden far and hard.
There were no other horses in sigh, how
ever, and the convict ordered them re
saddled and announced that he was
going to take MacEldowney with him
as guide and hostage. At this announce
ment Mrs. MacEldowney, whose nerves
were already strained, broke down and
began crying violently. The little
children joined in chorus with their
mother. Then, under cover of Tracy’s
gun, MacEldowney secured three horses
belonging to a neighbor. Tracy looked
them over carefully.
They were well
shod and in good condition. Tracy
ordered them saddled, and then made
MacEldowney mount each in turn, and
show its paces. Satisfied that the horses
were trustworthy, Tracy at last
mounted and rode away.
