Washington, May 3L - [Special.]-
Having said several times that there
waa little proepect of any action In the
Smoot case because apparently the In¬
terest In the subject has disappeared, it
may aeem like reiteration to point' out
again the Impossibility of any move
looking to the unseating of the Utah
senator. When the country we* all stir¬
red up ever the question of polygamy
and there was an Impression that great
disaster was Impending because an
apoetle of the Mormen church had a
aeat in the senate of the United States,
summary action was possible. Reed
Smoot took bis seat March 4, 190S, and
for more than three years has been un¬
disturbed aa a senator. He will not be
disturbed during the remainder of bis
term. The storm has evidently blown
over. Nothing eerions has happened In
three years, and nothing serious la
likely to happen In the next three
yesrt.
Is Wilson “Reselling Out?"
The charge Is made, not publicly, but
In the corridors, that the agricultural
department Is “reaching out,” that It
la getting a grasp upon a great many
Important functions of government and
therefore is able to control legislation.
Now, Secretary Wilson Is not the kind
of man that would bo accusod of tak¬
ing more than he ought, although It
seems to be apparent that under bis di¬
rection the agricultural department has
grown In power and Importance.
Against Paternalism.
Senator Hale frequently Inveighs
against the paternalistic tendency of
the age. Discussing a bill the other
flay, he said;
"Everything that to of Importance to
the country la of importance to the
states, because the states make up the
country. Wo have not quit# yet oblit¬
erated all tho lines and have not de¬
clared that the federal government
shall taka possession of every depart¬
ment and every Industry and that It
shall be a matter of the paternal gov¬
ernment of tho United States ousting
the states from their Jurisdiction."
Many things which Senator Hale
criticises as “paternalism” have their
origin in the fact that some one wants
to get a good federal job.
loth For Restriction.
Senator Scott to from West Virginia,
a state that probably to dependent to
a large extent upon cheap labor for its
development, labor which must at the
present time come frotft Europe, yet he
to pronounced in favor of the restric¬
tion of Immigration. Senator Scott spent
several months abroad, and what he
saw there made him more of a protec¬
tionist not only for American indus¬
tries, but for American labor which
comes In competition With the hordes
from Europe. Senator Scott waa for
even greater restrictions than were
provided In the bill which recently
passed tho senate.
What Might Have Been.
Charlie Towns, the second Tammany
orator In the bouse, In hto great cam¬
paign speech said that If he had re¬
mained in the Republican party he
could have had a permanent place In
congress with 10,000 majority at his
back. He was partially right If
Towne had remained with the Repub¬
lican party he would have had a life
lease In the senate perhaps, for he cer¬
tainly would have come to the senate.
At the time Towne left the Republican
party he waa very popular in Minne¬
sota.
Will They Be DtoappoIntadT
There never has been such a demand
In recent years for any legislation such
as that made for the removal of the
tax on denatured alcohol. Senator
Teller had this to say on the subject
when the bill was before the senate:
“For twenty-five years this matter
has been pressed upon congress. I re¬
member the late senator from Massa¬
chusetts, Mr. Hoar, presented It again
and again. Recently there has been a
very decided interest In this class of
legislation, baaed upon tho theory that
it was going to furnish a cheap power,
and for the first time In the many
years I have been in the senate I have
begun to get telegrams and letters
from my state In regard to the subject
I have never during the whole contro¬
versy received a letter from Colorado
urging this legislation until within the
last three months, when letters and
telegrams have come to me In consid¬
erable numbers, and It Is very appar¬
ent that the people have suddenly
come to the conclusion that this bill Is
going to be of material benefit to
them.”
Many senators declare that the bill
IWiU be disappointing, that farmers
who hope to make money by using
their discarded crops for Its manufac¬
ture will not realize their expectations
and that It will not furnish the cheap
power In such quantities as has been
expected.

Gay, a 15-year-old negro boy, who had
been employed as porter at the Drum¬

Gay reported the murder to the po¬

beled “Government Inspected."
To the senate and house of repre¬
sentatives: I transmit herewith the
report of Mr. James Bronson Rey¬
nolds and Commissioner Charles P.
Neill, the special committee whom I
appointed to investigate into the con¬
ditions In the stock yards of Chicago
and report thereon to me. This report,
is of a preliminary nature. I submit
It to you now because It shows tk* ur¬
gent need of immediate action by the
congress in the direction of providing
a drastic and thorough going Inspec¬
tion by the federal government for all
stock yards and packing houses, and
of their products so far as the latter
enter Into Inter-state or foreign com¬
merce. The conditions shown by even
this short Inspection to exist in the
Chicago stock yards are revolting. It
Is Imperatively necessary In the In¬
terest of decency that they should
he radically changed. Under the ex¬
isting law It Is wholly impossible to
secure satisfactory results. When my
attention was first directed to this
matter, an Investigation was made un¬
der the bureau of animal industry of
the department of agriculture. When
the preliminary statements of this in¬
vestigation were brought to my atten¬
tion they showed such defects in the i
law and such wholly unexpected con¬
ditions, that I deemed It best to have
a further Immediate investigation by
men not oonnected with the bureau;
»nd, accordingly, appointed Messrs.
Reynolds and Neill. It was impossi¬
ble under the existing law that satis¬
factory work should be done by the
bureau of animal industry. I am now,
however, examining the way In which
the work actually was done. Before
I had received the report of Messrs.
Reynolds and Neill, I had directed
that labels placed upon any package
of meat food products should state
only that the carcass of the animal
from which the meat was taken had
been Inspected at the time of slaugh¬
ter^ If Inspection of meat food prod¬
ucts at all stages of preparation is
not secured, by the passage of legisla¬
tion recommended, I shall feel com¬
pelled to order that Inspection labels
and certificates on canned products
•hall not be used hereafter. The re¬
port shows that the stock yards and
packing houses are not kept even rea¬
sonably clean and that the method of
handling and preparing food products
Is uncleanly and dangerous to health.
Under existing law the national gov¬
ernment has no power to enforce In¬
spection of the many forms of prepar¬
ed meat food products that are dally
going from the packing houses into in¬
terstate commerce. Owing to an in¬
adequate appropriation the department
of agriculture is not even able to place
Inspectors In all establishments desir-
lag them. The present law prohibits
the shipment of uninspected meat to
foreign countries, but there is no pro-
vision forbidding the shipment of un¬
inspected meats In interstate com¬
merce, and thus the avenues of Inter¬
state oommerce are left open to traffic
In diseased or spoiled meats. If, aa
has been alleged on seemingly good
authority, further evils exists, such
as the Improper use of chemicals and
dyes, the government lacks power to
remedy them. A law Is needed which
will enable the inspectors of the gen¬
eral government to inspect and super¬
vise from the hoof to the can the prep¬
aration of the meat food product. The
evil seems to be much less in the
sale of dressed carcasses than ih the
sale of canned and other prepared
products. In my judgment, the ex¬
pense of the inspection should b* paid
by a fee levied on each animal slaugh¬
tered. If this Is not done, the whole
purpose of the law can at any time
be defeated through an Insufficient
appropriation; and whenever there
was no particular public interest In
the subject,' It would not only he easy,
but natural to make the appropria¬
tion Insufficient. If it were not fqr
this consideration, I should favor the
government paying for it The alarm
expressed in certain quarters con¬
cerning this feature should be allayed
by a realization of the fact that in no
rase, under such a law, will the cost of
inspection exceed eight cents fler head.
I cal! special attention to the facf
that this report is preliminary, and
that the investigation is still unfin¬
ished. It Is not yet possible to report
on the alleged abuses the use of de¬
leterious chemical compounds in con¬
nection with canning and preserving
meat products, nor on the alleged
doctoring in this fashion of tainted
meat and of products returned to the
packers as having grown unsaleable
or unusuable from age or from other
reasous. Grave allegations are made
In reference to abuses of this nature.
Let me repeat that under the pres¬
ent law there practically Is no meth¬
od of stopping these abuses Jf they
should be discovered to exist. Legis¬
lation Is needed In order to prevent
the possibility of all abuses In the
future. If no legislation Is passed, then
the excellent results accomplished by
the work of this special committee
will endure only so long as the mem¬
ory of the committee’s work Is fresh
and rescrudescencp of the abuses Is
absolutely certain. 1 urge the Imme¬
diate enactment Into law of provisions
which will enable the department of
agriculture adequately to Inspect the
meat and meat food products entering
into Interstate commerce and to su¬
pervise the methods of preparing the
same and to prescribe the sanitary
conditions under which the work shall
be perfomed. 1, therefore, commend
