This suggests amendment of the pure food laws of the coaftry along lines that will accomplish the object. Cold storage for the preservation of of the most nseful of man's inventions, when it is properly applied, but unregulated and undontrolled, ‘it has come to be o burden, Food spec- ulators Have been able through itg per- version to create an artificial woareity of supplies, and thus advance prices to the prohidbitive point. This phase of the matter may be reached through the existing anti-trust laws, but the more serfous menace of withholding food ie o for cold storage warehouses is under the firet point raised is how long food supplies may it is sadmitted that somewhere a limit must | be set upon the time that will be per- mitted to elapse between the placing of foed In the ice box and.lts service Under existing comditions, this time is at the disposal of the food speculator and the restaursnt or hotel keeper.

The law should be such as will pro- vide for the careful inspection of all and immediate destruction of any sus- pected food in cold storage. With-such a law rigidly enforced, the incentive to hoard away meats, poultry, fruits, vegetables and other perishable ar- ticles, that profit might be reaped from enforeing a shorwage in the mar- kets, would be removed. With this phase of the question settled, the cold storage plants would begin to serve their legitimate and useful ends of food conservators and price regula- tors, A Good Start, for Omaha for the year 1910. While business conditions generally throughout the country have been more or less disturbed and a spirit of restlossness manifested on almost all sides, Omaha has been steadily forg- ing ahead and strengthening its posi- ition as the market town of the middle- west. With all the cry of high prices and excessive cost of living, -the.prevailing prosperity in Omaha and its tributary trade territory is self-evident and bus- iness has been retarded, if at all, only by adverse weather conditlons. The prospects for bullding expan- sion and real estate activity for the coming year were never better in Omaha, and the most reassuring feature is the element of confidence in the ecity's future baseéd upon knowl- edge of its substantial resources and faith in their early development. The year 1910 should be the big- gest banner year for Omaha in all its history, even as compared with the banner years that are behind us. North Dakota has.a.new. United States senator, in the person of W. E. Purcell, appointea bdy Governor Burke, to fill a vacancy caused by the resignation of Fountajn L. Thomp- son, who was himself appointed to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Senator Johnson. Governor Burke must be having a hard time in finding democrats of sufficient caliber to serve as senator and yet not llkely to be- come dangerous competitors should he later go after the place himself. — Without waiting for any contro- verting evidence, our amiable demo- eratic contemporary, whose congre: man-editor preferred thé charges, pre- sents a resume of what Mr. Glavis has shown. That is characteristic of a court which renders a verdict of guilty without allowing the défense to put in any testimony.

Superiority Acknowledged by a Ger- man Investigator, Washington Post. A tribute to the American workman in a typlcal industry, that of making steel, is paid by the general manager of a great structural steel plant in Germany, Dr. Jo- soph Hollenbauer, He. makes the state- ment, after careful comparative observa- tion, during periodic visits to the United States, that Th character and skill the American workman is markedly superior. This judgment may be recelved with some surprise, since the assumption has undoubt- edly recelved wide acceptance that German skilled wage-earners are at least the equals of those of other natlomalities. The as- sumption 1a hased upon the known peculier advantages in Germany for industrial train- Ing, especially in. lines of production that are highly specialized .and . internationally competitive. The making of steel may be accepted a8 & barometer. for comparison since it employs 'the. highest types of #killed labor. This observer makes the crit- iclsm .that German warkmen are lacking in the individuality and initlative of Amen- icans. This would suggest that the in dustrial training in Germany is not pro- ducing the Individual and collective results that have been claimed. It does not ap- pear what are its dafects, while this man- ager admits that what the German work- men do they do well. That would involve the admirable quality of thoroughness. But the implication is that something more Is desired than mechani¢al, routine compe. tency. The assertion 18 made also that a German worker In steel needs a month to produce what an American would fihish in a fortnight—that s to say, the important tactor of time is feducéd one-half in the American indusitry. All this may be agreeable intormation to workers in the Unitéd States; but it is of more importince m b‘ assured also that the Germen W‘? who comes to this country shakes o t érhlndlcnp of ‘conserv- g and aequ rés the, spirit of hustfe, qu'l' WILL ‘GARPORATIONS DO?

Chicago Inter-Ocean The president, at a dinner in Washing- ton, addressed to an association of maga- zine publishers a few words of kindly ad- vice. He counseled the publishers to give fair play In thelr dealings with public af- fairs and public men and warned them of the penalties of playing foul. Among other things, Mr. Taft said: All evidence must be welghed broadly, It doee no good to denounce a person on the witness stand if he te 1xainst you. The evidence must be welghed. When you criticise a poor devil exercle ing & ditficuil . him the same benefit enjoyed by criminal—that of reasonabie doubt.

For ereating the conditions in the public mifid that increaso this difficulty, it may be admitted at once that certain dailly newspapers were primarily to blame. They began the process of mental debasement. But, grievous as was their fault, the maga. sines—we mean the so-called ‘“popular” magazines—have made it indefinitely more grievous In Its evil consequences. The “popular” magazines have been gulity of a treason to thelr own traditions enormously greater than that of the ‘“yel- low” dally paper. The magasines, as o whole, had a tradition of mental rectitude 80 much higher than that of the daily paper from which to decline and fall. And they—the *'‘popular” ones—have fallen from it—fallen to the bottom and through it. The dally newspaper of fifteen and twenty years ago was, as & rule, a spe- alal leader for @ party cause,-did not pre- tend to be anything else, and was accepted by the public as subject to that limitation. It was prepared with unavoldable haste, and so, with aii possibie care, was subject to the inevitable errors of haste and was accepted by the public with reservations. But the magazine was supposed to be exempt from these limitations. Its writing could be done with more time and care and study. It had at least thirty days to find the truth and tell it clearly and fairly, as against the daily paper's twelve hours. It had a tradition of unhurried exactness and sobriety of judgment that gave 1t authority, The' difference of opinion in the pub- lle mind is fllustrated by the fact that, while “only a few speclalists preserved flles of dally papers, hundreds of thou- sahds of families preserved files of one or more magazines, just as they would pre- serve books purchased upon due consider- atlon and with views béyond the enter- tainment of an hour, Where Is the American magazine of the “popular” variety today that is so pre- served—accumulated on the bookshelves of the family of average culture .as are the books of history, blography, poetry and fiction that its members deem worth buy- ing? - The “popular” magazines have brought about their own ‘degradation by their imi- tation ‘of the yellowest of.‘‘yellow” datil in‘treason to their own'iraditions. They have done this largely by a familiar “yel- low” trick—by gathering exceptional facts in chosen situations and then, with an eye to sensationalism, presenting them as if they were the rule. Now any truth can be made to seem a falsehood by the simple process of accu- mulating enough exceptions to it. And this is the method of the magazine muckraker, especially in treating of public affairs. And it is a method that In the end de- stroys confidence in the magazine as the dally newspaper cannot destroy confidence in itself, if falthtul to its most primary condition of existence. The newspaper may glve today a one- sided account of facts, because that fs the only side as yet accessible. But to- morrow the other side becomes accessible, and the newspaper must give it or -fail in its necessary duty of giving the news. The error Is corrected as we go along. But' the magazine's one-sided presenta- tion: cannot be corrected for a month, and by that time the subject may have ceased to have a general interest. But the polson of the one-sided presentation is left in the reader's mind and colors and hardens its tissues, That is why discerning readers are be- ginning to regard magazine expositions of controverted questions with “suspicion. They wish to keep their minds free for judgment when they have heard the other side. And when will they hear the other side from the average ‘‘popular” maga- ine? / Just as moral lapse by a minister of the gospel is more shocking and more destructive to public morality than a lay- man's equal delinquency, so the decadence from mental rectitude of most of the mag- azines is more shocking and confusing to public mind than the errors of the dally press, Mr,' Taft aid well to direct attention in his diplomatic way, to this serious sit- uation.
