WHAT SHOULD BE KNOWN. When Secretary Wilson of the agri- cultural department was before the sub-committee on food investigation the other day, he said what his depart- ment did mot know was why the people of the District of Columbia should pay 42 per cent. profit to the man who cuts and distributes a carcass of meat, Ie said his department knew that two-year-old cattle on the hoof were selling for the same price that they were sold 12 years ago, and that while the buyers were paying the farmers less for veal this year than last, the price to the consumer had been Increased from 25 to 30 per cent. Jle sald the figures showed that New York dealers were sctisfled with a profit of 20 per cent. and that in 50 cities the profits of the retailers aver- aged 17 per cent. He intimated to this committee that +he little locel trade combinations in the city of Washington (and that meant all American cities) were guilty of the extortion <which the buyers suffered, and that these combinations prevented the consumers from forming guilds, buying goods at wholesale and distributing them among ' themselves at & lower than the retail price. That the guilds were formed, but that the wholesalers declined to sell them the goods because the retailers threatened a boycott if they did, so'the consumers were prevented by essociation from cetting goods at more reasonable prices. He sald the committee had the pow- er to call the heads of these combina- tlons together and to compel them to reveal their methods of conducting their business, and he hoped that they would do it. The whole country does not suffer excessive charges. Washington is the dearest city in the country to live in, and the profits in other cities depend- ed upon the combination and the greed of those who have the matter in charge. From this presentation of the case it does mot look as if the American citizen had any freedom in purchase of goods excepting what trade combi- nations feel disposed to give him. THE BUNCO MEN. It has been discovered at Boston that the bunco men of New York have operated there with bankers and really been benefited by the thefts which have been unearthed. The swindler who plots to lead citizens into traps for the express purpose of robbing them and who succeed are just now being regarded as in the class with pirates. The Boston Pést, commenting upon nt exposures, says: But how about the future treat- ment of the swindlers? Can it be possible, as one police official is said to have stated, that there is no way to reach these men criminally? Ts there no such crime as obtaining money under false pretences, and here in Boston, where the agreements were usually made—even If the actual trick was performed in New York and was involved in a gambling scheme? “It Is a pretty poor condition of law we are living under if a band of finan- cial pirates can range around the town tempting sometimes decent men into their clutches and robbing all, good, bad and indifferent. “The Post has no patience with that theory of offering immunity to crime. It belleves that the rascals can be reached somehow; that the district at- torney’s office should indict them and hunt them down. We may jeer at the silly dupes they fleeced, but if we per- mit the gang to jeer at the laws and the people of the commonwealth, it will be a sorry exhibition of weakness or worsge.” This is a sentiment which should have the support of every honest man in any community, It is necessary for the law to protect those who can- not protect themselves whether they are invalids or dishonest bank clerks. Any gang of men who live by swind- ling their fellows ought to find life hard—not easy. T THE POSTAL BANK BILL. The Chicago News has devoted itself to a canvass of the members of con- gress and is satisfied that a properly drawn bili for the establishment of postal savings banks could be passed if presented to congress at once. The poll of members of the senate and house of representatives taken shows that of the 391 members of the house of representatives, 138 republi- cans and 54 democrats were willing to £0 on record as favoring postal bank legislation, This is only four votes short of a majority of the total house membership. Two republican and 31 democratic representatives declared themselves opposed to postal savings banks, while 44 republicans and 44 democrats were non-commital, Sev- enty-five members were absent and therefore were not polled. ‘The senate poll showed 43 republi- cans and six .democrats in favor of postal banks, or more than 2 majority of the entire membership of the sen- ate. No republican senator announced himself as opposed to the proposition and only seven were hon-commital. Ten democratic senators, however, de- clared their hostility to postal bank legislation while seven were non-com- maittal Nineteen senators were ab- sent and consequently were not polled. It is ex d that the measure will pass the senate before the close of the present weck. It is rather surprising that a greater per cent. of the democrats than re- publicans are opposed to the bill, al- though the sections of country most to he benefited by these banks are demo- cratic. The National Liquor Dealers’ asso- ciation claims to have knocked out of public life seventeen eminent political prohibitionists, and furnishes their ad- dresses. The professional gentlemen who pre- dicted that Roosevelt was going to his death niust now confess that they were not acquainted with his itinerary. If Commander Peary is wholly sat- isfied with himself, he must realize -that the whole American people are not wholly delighted with him A CREDIT TO BALLINGER. ‘What 3 Ballinger has done to his credit should certainly be ex- ploited when evil things are being said about him. It is pointed out that he has removed the Hetchy-Hetchy val- ley out of the claws of San Francisco after Secretary Garfield had weakly committed the administration to its passage into private hands. This Yosemite valley is one of the wonders of the world. A remarkable deep gulch in the park, with strangely marked sides and fantastic scenery, and lofty waterfalls, it was desired as a source of water y by San Fran- cisco. Its use would have irretrieva- bly ruined its beauts. Nevertheless, Secretary Garfield, Ballinger's prede- cessar, granted it, on the claim that it was imperatively needed. Ballinger, after more extended in- vestigation, denies that San Francisco cannot be as well supplied from an- other source, and has taken steps to cancel the grant. It has become recognized country at last that scenery is a na- tional asset, Mr. Ballinger has done one true work of conservation. He has conserved one gem of national beauty. ‘Whatever happens to Ballinger, the American people are not likely to for- get that he held for the people’s use this beautiful natural resort. THE GREATEST BACTERIOLOGIST When the question of cold storage and its regulation came up before the sub-committee on food investigation at ‘Washington the other day. it was re- vealed that a great deal of knowledge was necessary before such a law could be intelligently framed, and also that the condition of products entered for refrigeration has much to do with their keeping qualities, which carried a hint that goods for icing should 'be inspected at the door of the cold stor- age establishment to determine wheth- er or not bacteria were at work upon them, During this inquiry, Secretary ‘Wilson said: “Now, then, we borrowed that idea from the fruit investigation and are now applying it to the poultry inves- tigation. The most effective scientist working for us along that line is a lady, an educated woman, a Doctor Pennington. She not only inquires with regard to the condition of the poultry In the refrigerator, but she goes out west, where poultry is pro- duced. Poultry is the product of cheap grain. You will find the most of it produced where grain is the cheapest. She goes there, where you will find a poultry dealer with several acres of fowls, chickens and duck: several’ acres with geese. They ha regular slaughterhouses. She Inquires as to the methods of slaughter, She in- quires as to every feature—the feed- ing, the cleaning, and ali that—so as to get the thing started right, so as to get the poultry packed properly, so as to get the bodily heat out of it, and then follows it along to the east, to the great refrigerating establish- ments, and then watching it there. That is what we are doing. “Just how long a chicken or any other of the fowl family should be in this or more, we are not prepared yet to state. “With regard to vegetables and fruit we are also general lines.” We have a on foot along those inquiring. inquiry kept in cold storage we do not know. and nobody else knows; that is, with- out injury. We cannot tell, We will have it for you by and by, because | we can give you the result of our re- B search along those lines. That can be | £33 done, Whether the poultry can be .' kept safely four months or six months | EDITORIAL NOTES.

In Paris a few of the ultra-fashion- able women and many actresses are wearing gowns with skirts so narrow that they sadly lack even a suggestion of grace. One gown is described as being of Corinthian red piano velvet, trimimed with wide bands of skunk, the skirt measuring less than a yard and a half around the bottom. When the wearer walked it pulled in at the foot in a most ungainly nanner, Why designers build these narrow i a mystery, for they are cer- wt pretty, and prove a posi- ndrance to walking.

It is about 12 inches long, has three the point and carrles a stout thread for sewing the fowl together. A needle is too short for the purpose, though a curved upholstering needle of eedle l?‘.m is often over the neck and held in pl toothpicks. It is a good idea to cross the tips of the fo wings right over the back, then pass the long needle clear through the fowl, using a long thread to hold the wings in rlaoo.
