Subscribe and pay for the Iowa State Bystander. The IOWA STATE BYSTANDER made its first appearance June 8, 1894, and since that date it has made regular weekly visits to its thousands of subscribers. Its object has been to carry the news to its subscribers, to print a clean newsy paper, that each member of the home that it goes into can read, to publish such news as will encourage each man, woman and child who desire to do something for humanity. That life is worth all the effort that one can put in it to try and convince each boy and girl that they owe it to the race to secure the best education they can, to show each parent that to be loyal to the race they should make every needed sacrifice to educate those about them, to hold up for the encouragement of the young, from time to time those who have and those who are doing so much for the race, to do as little harm and as much good as possible. When this company was organized it was composed of ten members and the most of them have the same interest in it. Through these twelve years there has been but few changes in the management of the paper, and therefore the same policy has been carried out. We have tried to keep step with the onward march of the great age with its many inventions. We started in a small room with one desk and a few chairs. Today the company has an office with a phone, twewriter and other necessary equipments that go to fit up a good office. Adjoining the office is a large composing room with all that is required to run a first class newspaper and job office. We will leave it to our readers to form their own conclusion as to the progress the paper has made, as to its honesty and fair dealings, as to whether it can rely on them for their continued support in the future. We desire to thank you for being our friend and to also say that you can help the paper by getting your friends to subscribe. Remember that the Bystander is the friend of all who are friends to themselves. What is There for the Young Man or Young Woman Who Leaves School Today? As the great army of young men and women who step out of schools and colleges this month, the question will be what has the twentieth century in store for them? The young man or woman who goes forth to meet the world today are extremely blessed. They are born in the best age of the world's history. They come to a prepared world. If their ability, knowledge and fitness will only measure up to the opportunities, a splendid heritage is theirs. Thinkers have thought for them, workers have worked for them, inventors have invented for them, heroes have sacrificed for them, martyrs have died for them, and parents have labored for them. Is it not a great thing to be young today? All the intervening of ages have brought their best brain, heart and soul and laid them at the feet of the young men and women of today. All thing are theirs; they have therefore a splendid chance; all the centuries say to them, we have poured into your-lap our treasurers of wisdom and achievements, our science and philosophy, our art literature and religion—saying, take them, they are yours, use this heritage for the building of a worthy manhood and womanhood. With all this at your command you must work if you expect to get the praise and leave something for the coming generation.

Mr. ‘Thomas F. "Dolan, then reslding in Boston, had, up to a short time previous, been a superintendent at Armour @ Co's, and one of Mr. Philip D. Armour's most capable and trusted men.

Mr. Sinclair makes the aseertion, and gives abundant proof, that the worry Incidental. to the “embalmed beet” scantal during the war with Spain caused the death of Philip D.

On the floor the man saw a large hat-pin with an amber head. Tha Chi- cago Daily News tells what he did with, It. Looking about him, he saw that two women and thelr escorts had just sat down. To one of the women he! presented the pin. A shake of the headj indicated that he had made a mistake, __ Then he tried two ladies across the aisle. ‘They seemed to be interested, ‘The pin was a curiosity, and its amber of a onlque carving. They hesitated, but handed the pin back. Desperately, he began the search anew. Two ladies unattended seemec Ukely owners. To them also he showed the pin. They took It and en-. foyed its pattern. ‘Just thon the man felt a tug on bis sleeve. It was hls wite, and she re- marked, “Why are you showing my but-pin'to strangers?” Blushing, he went over to the m- es, who were still looking at the pin, and explained. i “It's my wife's pin,” he sald, but in much consciously guilty accents that ‘the women handed {t back with doubt- ‘tng smiles.

Nelll, the spectal commlttes whom I appointed to In- Yeatlgate Into the conditions in the stock yards of Chicago and report thereon to me, ‘This report is of @ preliminary nature. 1 submit It to ‘You now because it shows tho urgent feed of immediate action by the con- ress in the direction of providing a Hrastle and thoroughgoing Inspection by the federal, government of all stock Yaris and packing houses and of thelr products, so far ax the latter enter Into Interstats or foreign com- merce. The conditions shown by even this short Inspection to exist in the Chicago stock yards are revolting. It fs imperattvely necessary tn the. {n- terest of health and of decency that they should bo radically changed, Un: der the existing law {t ts wholly Im- ossible to secure satisfactory results, . Orders Further Investigation, ‘When my attention was first direct- ed to this matter an investigation ‘was made under the bureau of animal industry of the department of agri- culture. When the preliminary stato- ments of this Investigation were brought to my attention they showed such defects In the law and such wholly unexpectéd conditions that I acemed It best to have a further im- mediate Investigation by men not con- nected with the bureau, and according- Ay appointed. Messrs. ‘Reynolds and Nelll. It was Impossible under the existing law that satisfactory work should be done by tho bureau of ani- mal industry. T am now, however, examining the way in whch the work actually was done, Before I hai recelved the report of Messrs. Reynolds and Nell! 1 had dl- rected that labels placed upon. any package of meat food products should state only that the carcass of the an{- mal from which the meat was taken had been inspected at the time of slaughter. If Inspection’ of meat food Products at all. stages of preparation 4s not secured by the passage of the legislation recommended I shall fecl compelled to order that inspection. 1a- els and certificates on canned prod- ucts shall not be used hereatter. Packiag Houses Unrensonably Dirty, ‘The report shows that the stock yards and packing houses are.not kept even reasonably clean, and that the method of handling and preparing food products is uncleanly and dan- gerous to health. Under existing Inw tho national government has no pow- er to enforce inspection of the many forms of prepared meat food products that are dally going from the packing houses into interstate commerce. Ow- Ing to an Snadequate appropriation tho department of agriculture 1s not even able to place inspectors in_all establishments desiring them. The! present law prohibits the shipment of uninspected meat to foreign countries, but there Is no provision forbidding’ the shipment of uninspected meats in Interstate commerce, and thus the ave- nues of interstate commerce are left open to traffic in diseased or spolled meats. If, as has been alleged’ on seemingly good authority further evils exist, such as the Improper uso of chemicals and dyes, the government lacks power to remedy them. A law ts needed which will enable the in- spectors of the general government to inspect and supervise from the hoot to the can the preparation of the meat food product. ‘The evil seems to be much less in the sale of dressed carcasses than In the sale of canned and other prepared products; and very much less as regards products sent abroad than as regards these used at home. In my judgment the expense of thé Inspection should be pald by a fee lovled on each, animal. slaughtered. If this fs not ddne, the whole purpose of the law can at any time be de- fosted through an insufclent appro- priation; and whenever there was no particular public interest in the sub- ject It would be not only easy but, natural thus to make the appropria- tion insufficient. It it were not for this consideration 1 should favor the government paying for the inspectton. The alarm expressed in certain | quarters concerning this feature | should be allayed by a reallzation of the fact that in no case, under such a inv, will the cost of Inspection execed elght cents per head.

It {8 not yet possible to report on the alleged abuses in the uso of deleterious ‘chemfeal compounds. in connection with canning and preserv- Ing meat products, nor on the alleged doctoring In this fashion of tainted ‘meat and of products returned to the packers as having grown unsalablo or ‘unusable from age or from other rea- sons. Grave allegations aro made {n reference to abuses of this nature. Let me repeat that under the pres: ent law there 1s practically no method of stopping these abuses if they should tbe discovered to exist. Legislation 1s needed tn order to prevent the pos- sibility of all abuses in the future. If no legislation 1s passed, then the excellent results accomplished by the work of this speclal committea will endure only so long as the memory or the committee's work ts fresh, and f recrudescence of the abuses 13 ab- solutely certain, Passage of Law Urged. L urge the Immediate enactment into law of provisions which will enable tho department of agriculture ade- quately to inspect the meat and meat. food products entering into interstate commorco and to supervise the meth- ods of preparing the same, and to rescribe the sanitary conditions un- der which the work shall be per- formed. I therefore commend to your favorable consideration and urge the enactment of substantially the provi- slons known as senate amendment No. 29 to the act making appropriations for the department of agriculture for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1907, as passed by the senate, this amend- ment belng commonly known as the Beveridge amendment.
