Inspection of Meats. To the Editor of The Journal.

The butchers' strike emphasises the im­portance of legislation that will g ive the s ta te control over t h e meat business a s a health measu ie . Under normal condi­t ions national inspection of all l ive ani­mals and fresh meats affords ample pro­tect ion m so far as cential l ive stoek mar­kets a i e concerned, but it Is in emergen­cies of the strike kind that the public is a t the mercy of the unscrupulous, when diseased animals are slai'ghtered and sold for consumption without inspection of any kind The strike has reopened hundreds of abandoned s laughterhouses that are unsanitary and unclean, and manv of the animals slaughtered in - these places have never passed under the Inspector's eye, but are purchased a w a v from market cen­ters and shipped direct to the s laughtering pens E v e n our boasted national inspec­tion does not fill the bill entirely, for the reason that while our large cit ies are amply protected by Its operations the smaller cit ies and towns are at the mercy of the country butcher or farmer who may or m a y not furnish the consumet wi th healthy, wholesome meats

N o w if rigid inspection of animals and meats Is good for the consumer in the larger cit ies it should be equally good for the consumer in the smaller cit ies and towns. AH should be protected by Its pro-•vlsions and until such i s the case the law mus t be said to be want ing

The remedy l ies only in thoro inspection on the hoof and in the carcass of all an i ­mals consumed, in the s tate a s fresh meat . This would work no hardship on anyone, except, perhaps, the small slaughterer of lumpy-jawed cattle, scabby, emaciated sheep, and cholera-affected hogs It is hard to detect the lumpy-jawed steer wi th his head off; it's equally difficult to tell the scabby sheep wi th his pelt off, or the tottering choleric hog In the cold carcass Inspection of the live animal would de­tec t all these diseases, while inspection of the carcass and offal would readily re­veal tuberculosis and other a i lments that might be Invisible in the live animal.

Nor would the stock-grower suffer in the least from an arrangement of this kind, a s he would still have the choice of all markets , while values for dressed pro­duct should not be affected materially Granting that legislation of th is kind could not be enforced without federal acquiescence in the shape of a const i tu­tional amendment , where life and health are concerned w e should not hes i tate to obtain relief even if extremes had to be resorted to.

It i s not m y intention to cast reflection upon the so-cal led Independent packers by anything I m a y have said In this com­munication On t h e contrary let .me close by say ing that they have done much to al leviate the difficulties under which pro­ducer and consumer alike have suffered during the past thirty days, and I freely venture the assertion that all of them would approve a program of s tate in­spection such a s I have brieflv outlmed.

Joseph Conrad's Literary Cr««d One That I t Would Pay "Easy Writers" to Study —A Good Story by gilbert Parker About Hall Calne—Some Neyw Books An­nounced for Thl» Fall. **

Joseph Conrad has achieved a note­worthy descriptive style. H e has recent­ly allowed himself to be quoted in regaid to his literary creed a s follows:

It is only thiu complete, uusTveryiug devo­tion to the pei feet blending at form and sub­stance; it is only thru an unremitting, never-discouiaged tare for the shape and the ring of sentences tfc»t an approach cau be made to plasticity, to color, and the light of magic sug gestiyeness maj be brought to plaj for an evanescent instant over the commonplace sur­face of words of the old, old woids, worn thin, defaced by ages of careless usage The sincere endeavor to accomplish that creative task, to go as far on that road as bis stiengtb will carry him, to go undeterred by faltering, weariness, 01 reproach, is the only valid Justi­fication for the worker in prose And if bis con science Is clear, his answer to those who, in the fullness .of a wisdom which looks for inime diate profit, demanq specifically to be edified, consoled, amused, who demand to be promptly improved, 01 encouraged, or frightened, or shocked, or charmed, must run thus My task wfyich I am trjing to achieve Is, by the power of the written wprd to make you hear, to make jou feel—it Is, befoie all, to make you see That—and no more, and it is everj thing If I sucpeed, you shall find there, according to jour deserts, encouiagement, consolation, fear, charm —all jou demand, and, perhaps, also that glimpse of truth for which you have forgotten to ask.

W e would commend Mr. Conrad's "creed" to the growing horde of those who think that novels are to be writ ten evepings when one hasn't anything else to do.

Those readers who are aware that Mr. Conrad is a Pole have probably frequently wondered at his very Engl ish-sounding name The fact is, however, that Mr. Conrad has hidden away a name which, if he used it would leave no doubt as to his nationality Should he use his full baptismal title it would be Joseph Conrad Korzeniowski Mr Conrad, when he w a s a sailor on an Engl ish merchantman, found his messmates incapable of handling his jaw-breaking cognomen, and therefore dropped it.

Julius. Chambers m Harper's Weekly recently tells some interest ing anecdotes revealing striking peculiarities of Hall Came's character The following is from Sir Gilbert Parker, author oi "The Right of W a y " :

I was hurrying along the boulevard In Paris one day, when my progress was arrested by a dense crowd in front of an art shop Evi dently, thought I, there is an extraordinaiy picture on e\hibition The canvas was a lemark able idealization of the Saviour—a thin, strong ly Hebraic face, with closely cropped red hair and beaid

Suddenly the crowd parted to admit a man who approached with bowed head. It was Hall Caine' He stood before the portrait with folded aims, gravely studying the face ana pose of the figure on the canvas, The similarity of the portrait to the man standing before it was very striking

Caine turned to go, but seeing me, came to my side

"J say, did you notice hew the crowd parted to admit me'" asked Caine

"I certainly did,'' was my reply "And do you see how these people make way

for me as I go awaj ?" "Assuredly " "They think it is I," was his calm, matter-

of fact explanation

The Folly of Others is the title g iven a little book of short stories by Ne i th Boyce. Perhaps it should be said a little book of one long short story and several shorter stories "A Provident W o m a n " is the title of the long story, and it con­v inces the reader that the title is well chosen It is the s t o t y of a stenographer who married her employer apd lived not without unalloyed happiness foi the rest of her days, 01 for a s many of them as the author g ives you a gl impse of.

MEMORIES First , dear, I loved you like the dawn,

A cool new love, discreet and pale, A love that trembled like the fawn,

Ful l of shy fear lest love should fail

Then came the noon-love, l ike a flower That g lows in the embracing air

It flung its beautv to the hour And passing, left a fragrance there.

And now' t is sunset , and the mere Is all abloom like blossoming trees.

And now mv evening love is here, Half s leeping with old memories

Congressman Charles R D a v i s of St. Peter will have no opposition for renomin-atlon, if h i s opponents are relying on Frank Wilson ot Red W i n g to make the fight Some months ago the Red W i n g attorney thought seriously of taking a hand Jn the game, and bad it under con­sideration for some t ime He w a s In Min­neapolis yesterday afternoon, and «ald that he had definitely decided not to bo a candidate A s far a s ,he knew Mr Davis would not have anv opposition

While the new congressman from the third has worked politically wi th the m a ­chine to w'hich he owes his nomination, he has displayed more independence in his official conduct Hhan w a s expected under the c ircumstances For this reason the feeling against him is not as intense as it w a s when he w a s first nominated.

BARON ROTHSCHILD'S ADVICE

'THE SUN, THE MOON AND STARS"

The sun, the moon, and the stars, the road, the hills, and the plains—

Are not these, O Soul, the vision of Him who reigns,

Speak to Him thou, for He hears, and spirit with spirit can meet.

Closer is He than breathing, and nearer than hands and feet,

And the ear of man cannot hear and the eje of man cannot see,

Upon a cl ient complaining to Baron Rothschild that he had lent 10,000 francs to a person who had gone off to Constan­tinople without leaving any acknowledg­ment of the debt, the baron said* "Well, write to him and tell h im to send you the 50,000 francs he owes you " "But he only owes m e 10,000," objected the other "Pre­cisely," rejoined the baron, "and he will write and telj. you so and thus you will ge t his acknowledgment of i t "
