Neb., Jan. ja-To the Editor cf The Bee: There has been Introduced Into both branches of the Nebrsaka legis lature a dairy commission bill known as fcouee roll No. 186 and senate file No. 1M. ' he provisions of this bill were thor. Ottghly considered and discussed at the last meeting of the Dairymen's asaoclatlon. at which were present more than 200 dairy men. and was unanimously approved and recommended for enactment Into law. Thla measure provides for the creation of a dairy commission, because It Is believed that tha value and Importance ot live dairy Industry to the people of the state (an In dustry representing; an Investment of more than 120.000,000. Bee statistical map In 1903 report of Nebraska Dairymen's associa tion, which report may be had on applies tlon to the secretary) warrants tha estab lishment of such a commission with power to enforce the dairy lawa of the state. Under the provisions of the bill the gov rnor would be the dairy commissioner. but tha deputy commissioner and four Qalry Inspector must be appointed on the recommendation pt the professor of dairy husbandry at the State university and the FULL SUIT"?

This la required In order that the working force of the commission shall not only be familiar with the dairy Industry, but aleo have practical as well as scientific knowl edge ot testing milk and cream.' This bill makes It unlawful to sell or manufacture Into butter for sale milk or cream which Is unclean or that has been kept In unsan itary conditions or surroundings. The proper enforcement of such a law will prevent the dairyman from selling cream which Is unclean and - will prevent the keeping of cream at cream receiving sta tions In undesirable places, such aa the store '.room of soma grocery store, sur rounded by onions, fish, oil or rotten vege tables, and then manufacturing such cream Into butter to be sold at a low price, to the great detriment ' of the entire dairy In dustry. It will be the duty of the dairy Inspectors to Inspect places where milk and cream are produced and kept and to see that the law la complied with. Im provement In-the quality of, cream means Improvement In the quality and price of creamery butter; a better price for butter means a better price paid for cream, and If by the Inspection and the education which naturally goes with It It Is possible to Im prove the quality of cream sold so that It shall bring 1 cent ' more per pound for the butter fat which It contains thsn was paid the last year, this Inoreased price would pay, tea times over, the annual ex pense of the dairy commission. Perhapa the most Important provision of the bill Is that relating to the testing of cream. With good reason there has been more dissatisfaction connected with the testing of cream than any other feature of the dairy buslnesa. While the dairymen ot the atate have been selling, annually, 50, 000,000 pound of cream there has been no fixed, established and legal method for test ing cream, although all cream was tested (or supposed to be) and paid for on the basis of the pounds of butter fat which It contained. This dairy commission bill not only provides a legal method for testing cream, but It does still better; It provides that before any persons can engsgs In the business of testing cream at any place where cream is bought and sold.' they must first pass an examination to determine that they are qualified to do the work, and then be licensed by the dairy . commissioner at a nominal fee of fl aa a cream teeter. This provision. In effect, places the whole busi ness of testing cream under the supervision and control of the dairy commits! on, and If at any time a cream tester Is found not to do honest or satisfactory work the commis sion can remove him and prevent him from further engaging in auch work. There are two principal objects aimed at In this measure: First, by Inspection of dairy products and the education Incident thereto, to Improve the quality of auch pro ducts; this would mean a better price. Second, a, square deal for both dairyman and rreaaieryman In tha testing of both milk and cream; this last Is most Impor tant If we are to further develop this im portant Industry. There has been an In sistent demand on the part of dairymen for legislation of thla character; In the platform adopted at the last republican state con vention Is plank pledging the enactment of a law providing for Inspection of dairy products and to regulate the testing of cream. It Is believed th'a dairy commission bill meets all that Is now required In the matter of dairy legislation; It has been pre pared with that object In view; a copy of the bill may be had by applying to your member of the atate legl'lature or to the undersigned; It is suggested that If you approve of this measure, believe It is for the beat interests of the dairy Industry of the atate, It Is your privilege to write may MAHA under Wanted force .limes 2Sc eyerybpdy's reach reaches everybody your senator and representative at Lincoln giving your views and requesting them to give it th1r support.

To the Editor of The Bee: While engaged with other members of the McKlnley club In arranging for our very successful banquet of Tuesday even ing we became aware that tha bulk of the young republicans ot Omaha are seemingly not aware of the fact that tho club Is wide open to every oneff them to become mem bers on making application to any member. Our dues are merely nominal, $2 a year, and at the monthly dinners each man pays for his own plate, never In excess of 60 cents. The McKlnley club Is a "boosting" club, pure and simple; that is. It makes no at tempt to Influence nominations, farther than that each member 1 expected to par ticipate In the primaries, for whom and how he pleases. - After the nominations are made, then the McKlnley club is out for the ticket, and ready and willing to go to the front and make every effort possible for the election of the nominees. - President Erwln and the other officers of the club, aa well as any member, will take applications for membership; but whother a member or not any young republican will be welcomed at the monthly dinner, an nouncement of time and place always be ing made In the papers. Aside from the social and political fea tures, the addreases and debates at the meetlnga will prove educational and In forming to any man, young or old, for there is an associate list on which can be found the names - of many of the leading cltlxons of Omaha. Trusting you can find room for this, Mr. Editor, permit us, on behalf ot the officers and the banquet committee, to most sin cerely thank The Bee for the many cour tesies heretofore extended.

Omaha talent was an attraction on the Krug theater stage Thursday evening at the opening performance of the big frolic, "Peck's Bad Boy," when little Clark Mar shall, who waa In "Little Lord Fauntleroy" at the Burwood theater some months ago, took the part of Buster, the chum and boon companion of the "bad boy," In place of Bessie Burt. This came about because of the severe illness of Cora Qulnten, who has been the regular Henry Peck of the show on its tour, and who Is now confined in bed at the Lange hotel with typhoid fever. This necessitated a rearrangement of the Juvenile portion of the cast, which waa done without the slightest impairment of the entertainment As a fun-producing show "Peck's Bad Boy" must be classed In the front rank, and surely If tha object of the author were to please the young and older with a series of Just pure pranks and continual Joking, he could not have chosen better material for hla leading mischief makers than the bad boy of George W. Peck's famous stories, and Buster aa his chum. These two are probably better known than any other characters In tho country and are favorites wherever heard of. The show Is full of songs and specialty acts sandwiched between the roars of laughter following some prank of the bad boy, his girl Minnie or his chum Buster. . 11 "hard 'o' e mem bers or me lamuy ana tne people who visit them.
