JUNK 8. 190(5 'I lie Jftte king Jlouwe Investiga tion Tho result of the recent investi gation as to what potted tongues end the like really arc, has sent a thrill of nauaeated indignation over outraged consumers. 'l ho fact that nothing liioro could be expected of Chicago's meat magnates i? not (juite ao startling tuj that of the government's tardiness or failure to act iti this matter long ago. The packing houses soein to be owned atjd managed by magnates whose only desire and ambition in to in croase tlio size of their money Iim^h ui. the expense of the c?> ?i i? t rtjr '?? mortality. So the fault, to a great sxlent, is with tlio government. \V ?* prty taxes, excessive at tin.es; for 1/ ie maintenance of the government ntid proection of the public. Ib it i>"L leaaonable to expect to receive in i clurn some protection against these unscrupulous packets? We cheerfully pay increased lev ii-i to fight a foreign foe and in the meantime we neglect these enemies ut home who assail us daily with embalmed and poisoned foods. In deed we are a long Buffering pub lic. if the United States govern* juk nt would do its duty, the death into by consumption ? tlio great whiltf plague ? would not be an great... _Ju the big packing hoftsfn in Chicago it has been found on in vestigation that consumptive pack er* expectorate on the floor upon which lay heaps of meals which iH finally put iu cans for shipment. Th? moat is gathered up from these *Hl.y floors and feeds thousands of AM?rioans. This is but a part of ifcti vtla conditions that exist. la it surprising then that disesse pis VAils lo such a shefbking extern? Bvery man, woman and child Jdara what the dangers ?m i* eating canned meats. If they considered that they are buying* ? nlold numbers and varieties of germs that could aeud them lo their death bod, possibly the con sutners would bo far less in uum beta. It is an outrago. Thousands of tongues pour forth viudictives against Anarchist ; thou sands nfhands aro ready to seize the bomb thrower and consign him to a fate as horrible as that Lo which he would have plunged his intended victim, but worse than depraved A n archill is the man /or the corpora lion that uses cansAusload of bomb* to deal death to thousand of inno cent Amerlcans-^-iii* friends and patrons. - Is the goverment to submit to thie? Has it forgotten the "Emb almed Beef" inoidont some ysars ago? Wo hope for tho sake of decency and humanity; for tho sake of health and morals, tho U ti > lu(l Slates government wlil take Uiatstep whichit has failed to do for so long a time and place inspector# ou tho scene to enforcslhe law to tho letter compelling these contemptu ous perpetrators of the law to oxer clso due care in tho preparation wf food products. "Citizen" Replies to "Citizen No. 2." Ed. Chronicle: ? With your kind permission will reply to "Citizen No 2,'' whose brilliant article appeared !n last issue of your journal. It in to bo deplored thnt this sage did not hoc proper to come to lho fore long bolero thin, as it is quite evident that he possesses the "mental cali bra" of a Soloman, and must natur fcilv be capable of solvlog almost any question. Tho writer is almost pi'r stndod to believe that a typograph ical error has cropt in which cauecd bis signature to appear "Citizen'' in stead of Soloman No. 2. This per nicious liquor question surely needH lho wisdom of a Soloman to solve it, and it is conceded that No. 2 will prove equal to the emergency. In all probability we will soon see ht? announcement in the papers as a candidate for gubernatorial honors on the prohibition ticket, and it goes without saying that ti>ere will be ? veritable landslide, whiclr'will slide him into fame and bis natno will go down in history as a "Soloman No. 2" Indeed. Laying all faceciousness aside, the writer most confess some degree of astonishment at the manner in which this wisacrs attempts' to make it sp. pear that Lancaster county is taking* HO aotive part la- trying to prarent ' th< ettabiiahme&t of a Dispensary Imn by MttariSlfc that soms three or * four of Kershaw counlv'a oitlz^ut me presenting the petitions with the "assistance" of Mr. W. L Croxton Now the writor "happens to know" that Mr. ?OoXtoa of Lancaster (,'o i? tho prime mover in this matter and has put iu more time with tl.e petition tlmn any other one man. Ho wan 1 1 i <* that tw consult tin at tor* "?T Lancest or C. II who drew up the petition ttii'i gave the necessary le^al advice upon the subject. No 2 failed to taentioft the fact I i 1 f? t pr*echor LitUb did some assisting *iik the petntiea Mid otherwise Jt was a ??*!?*?? Of t heirs to on lint the services of as many citizens of KorHiaw county as possible, knowing that they would have more influence m procuring; signatures Mr. < rozlon in due the credit for working up the opposition, arid it in unjiikt to try to deprive him of it And No. 2 think* that if Kerslu.w <'o had an opportunity to iote. the Dispensary would ho wiped out of the County. Well, why l.avo thry not hud the opportunity? Several petitions were circulated last lull for tliin very puipose, and notwithstand ing tlio Itict that it in vary cany mm a general rule, to get people ai^fii pe titions, it appears that a sufficient number could not he induced to do to in thin instance. Then we fail to see how it, could have been voted out. Nr>. 2 alHo thinks that 4 the old Dispensary stump that they have been whipping tlio devil around no lAng Is f ant decaying." Well, it does son m for that very reason it ?hould be preserved, an it. ia fho [only stun p on the liquor quection that wo have ever hoard of the dev. il being whipped around. It certain ly do?H appear that ho c<?ul.J be whipped around tlio prohibition ^tuiiip, no long an the railroads are permitted (and there ih 00 way 1 >r the Hfato to prohibit) lo bring li quor into tlio State aw they are low doing Very true Lancaster county voted out the Dispensary and with I<hh than one. fourth of tho qualified electors. 'Ibis hail been tho cane in practically every county in which it has been voted out, which in at liilnitablo iu greut measure to the restriction* upon tho ballot under the lirice law. Ah to No. 2'? as sertion that d'unkonnoss ia on tlio <h ci eiiao, and business on tho increase would nay that thin is a matter of opinion and tho writer's observations have boon exactly to tho Contrary, run pie now order their liquor in larger quantities and they naturally muut tlrink In tho same proportion Am glad No. 2 mentioned tho mm tor of rovotiue for school purposes, which in not so insignificant as ho would have us believe ? by ntaling that tho per capita is only 4<)c Superintendent of Kd. O. 11. Mar ?i? is my authority for quoting tho following figures which apeak for themselves. "The public sohools r0 ceived from tho Dispnnsary fund | lor the scholastic year July 1, 1904 to .Iuiim :10 , l'juf). # 210. 971 42 ' this amount haucaster county re ??eived *5,749.00; and Kershaw Co received $2,249 33." The writer in I under th? impression that it was h?r#n greater the previous re?r The ^wrtVor Una nat heard of ? single f.eoanty that v?t??l out the Dispen., sary refusing to acedpt its shure of thin fund, notwithstanding tho ; fact upon thin very point some of those great moralists, who want to put down the Dispensary at any cost have been laising such u hul labaloo about ? that tboy did not want tlioir childien educated by the aid of whiskey money. Isn't that consistency with a vongeance? Why do they accept? Thero is no law compelling them to do so. It roally looks hypocritical to the un I dersignod J Citizen. I It doesn't pay to argue.
