GIBBON. 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.

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

McKlnley Club Open to All.
OMAHA, Jan. 81. 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 BOY SAVES THE .SHOW
Clark Marshall Takes Important Role
In "Peck's Bad Boy" at
tha Krngr.
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.
