Ipression that the nation's meat supply
is indorsed by Uncle Sam.
The Bureau of Animal Industry con
stitutes an organized system of self
delusion more serious in its influence
on public health than any other one
deeply entrenched and highly honored
I evil now supported out of public
I funds. The chief purpose served by
it, as now conducted, is to protect the
| business interests of a handful of
1 packers.
The Bureau of Animal Industry
• does not prevent the flesh of diseased
! animals from reaching the consumer
through Interstate traffic. It merely
(changes the route by which the flesh
of tuberculosis and cancerous animals
is Anally passed to the consumer for
food.
The manner in which the public has
been deceived by the costly opera
! tlons of our federal meat inspection
service has been disclosed since Janu
*ry 1, 1913, through more than forty
cnminal prosecutions. The details of
these prosecutions have been withheld
from the people of the United States,
although the authorities of the Bu
reau of Animal Industry are thor
oughly familiar with them.
So high-handed have been the oper
ations of many federal meat inspec
; tlon officials that in one instances
which will be related here in its
I proper place, the proof concerning
guilty collusion between the chief of
■ the eastern division of the bureau and
i one of the Chicago. packers was so
overwhelming that the Washington au
thorities were forced to stage dis
ciplinary proceedings the farcical and
! hypocritical character of which re
; mained undiscovered for nearly a year.
Instinctively the people recognize that
| human life is threatened by the con
] sumption of diseased flesh. Moses set
| this Idea before the Jews and twentieth
'century science has not failed to keep
■ it alive.
During the last twenty-six years the
| people have at times been so agitated
and aroused through conspicuous dis
closures of inquiry on the part of men

I poses that Congress was forced finally
to deal with the situation.
In 1890 Congress enacted its first
law providing that all pork products
j intended for export should be inspect
i ed.
Cholera, tuberculosis, trichinosis, and
cancer were so prevalent among Amer
ican swine that the government of
Kurope threatened to bar all pork from
the United States unless the perils tn
j volved in its consumption were abated.
This law was intended solely for
; the purpose of meeting hostile legis
; lation on the other side of the Atlan
i tic. The issue of public health was in
■ no manner related to it.
! The men who raised hogs and the
men who slaughtered thm dictated
tills law to their representatives at
. Washington solely for the purpose of
keeping foreign markets open to them.
| When the American people began to
get hints ot' what was going on they
demanded the same inspection service
in the protection of the pork products
consumed at home that was given to
f the pork products exported to Kurop-3.
' The following year Congress was
forced to pass a new law providing
t for the inspection of all live animals
| intended for food shipped into inter
state commerce.
The people soon discovered that this
law gave them no protection at all, as
lit controlled only the'passage of dis
! eased animals from one State to an
i other and did not interfere with the
disposition of diseased animals killed
and consumed in the Wtate in which
J they were raised, slaughtered and dress
ed for food purposes, or with interstate
traffic In the flesh of diseased animals.

Four years of excitement and scan
dal followed. In 1895, after a period
of turbulent agitation. Congress amend
ed the law to forbid the shipment into
interstate commerce of all dressed beef,
lamb, or pork that had been condemned
by federal inspectors.
This appeared to be a good law, for
on the surface it seemed capable of
putting an end to the shipment of
dressed carcasses of diseased animals
which were not permitted to cross the
State line alive.
The absurdity of condemning live
animals on the hoof only to permit
the shipment of their diseased flesh
when dead had to be aired throughout
the country before Congress attempted
to act. the change In the law that
followed, as time has revealed, proved
absolutely worthless.
The facts about to be reported will
disclose in alarming detail the urgent
necessity of uniform State Inspection
laws If the people are to b(? saved
from the operations of this federal
farce.

"tirumpy" has, in the past three sea

popularity in this country. It is a com
bination of Mr. Maude s wonderful act
ling and the slightly melodramatic
strain of the play that makes
Grumpy an evening s entertainment
of the better sort. Tne story tells how
Andrew Bulivant, an aged criminal
lawyer, dubbed "Grumpy" by his grand
daughter, because he exhibits certain
irascible traits, brings all his shrewd
ness into play to solve the mvsterv of a
valuable diamond, stolen from his
nephew while a guest in his home. Mr
Maude acts the grouchy and penetrat

that is most appealing. The story Is
told in a refersning vein of comedy and
Mr. Maude presents a study of a su
perior type of old man of picturesque
charm, and with a friendly humor, their
nervous irritability and tendency to
bully others.

Tre chorus, composed principally of

comedy. Other acts on the bill are

star of this production. Miss Brockwell
is really a double star, for she portrays
the parts of both mother and daugh

he shown at the Regent to-day and to
morrow. featuring Marguerite Courtot
and Owen Moore.
As the title suggests, the gentle art
ot osculation forms an important part
of the story. During a masked ball Owen
Moore, in the role of Jean, kisses Miss
Courto, but she escapes from him before
he can nnd out who she Is. The kiss
has been so thrillingly satisfactory,
however, that he sets out upon a de
termined campaign of kissing in order
to find the other half of that kiss. Of
course, this promiscuous search on the
part of Jean precipitates no end of
trouble, as some of his victims, who
are less philosophically inclined than
the others, tell their respective mama's
of their experience. As a re
sult, the gallant young aviator is verv
nearly routed by a concerted movement
of indignant mothers. The theft of his
orrandmother's necklace and the ensu
ing complications divert the attention
of evryone from the kissing expert,
however, and comedy gives way to
drama with a suddenness that is as
real as life itself.

side curtains were In place to protect
the party from the bitter cold. The
start was made at 2:30 o'clock in tne
morning' and the oar drove into Elling
ton at 5:45 o'clock the same evening.
Not a single adjustment was made to
the motor during the entire run. MA
tightened the brakes at one
stop, to make certain that they would
not work loose in the slippery roads.
Near Utica. N. Y., more than fifty miles
were traveled through snow, deep
enough for sleighing.
Not only did the Saxon Six average
more than thirty-two miles an hour for
the actual running time and a little over
thirty-one miles for the total lapsed
time, but between Albany and Spring
field, Mass., it beat the record of every
fast trnin with the exception of the
Twentieth Centrury I.united and came
within eight minutes of equaling Its
speed.
It took two hours and fifty-five min
utes to cover the 102 miles between Al
bany and Springfield. This was sev
enteen minutes faster than the south
west express: fourteen mimites faster
than the Atlantic express and twelve
minutes faster than the Past Mall.
The motor road is filled with good
sized hills, which have proved stumbling
blocks to many motorists, but the Saxon
took every one of them on high speed.
Mr. Loveland lost eighty minutes In
stops for lunch and gasoline. He drove
every inch of the way himself and says
that he was not overly tired from the
trip.
Returning to Buffalo Sunday, his
lapsed time was fifteen hours and forty
five minutes.
All this in a new Saxon, which had
been driven only C9l miles before it
