Tho announced extension of tho puro food law to cover meat and moat products must not bo taken to moan that this most Impprtant of all our foods has boon loft until now without tho safeguard of In spection. Quite the contrary, the moat inspection law, has .subjected all our big packing housos to tho most rigid government scrutiny and ths work has boon Bupplomontod by stato and municipal activities. Tho real trouble is that meat, liko other rcrisbubigs may become Impure or unfit for food at Various stages of Its transit from the farm to. tho table. Diseased nplmala are culled out by tho inspoct'on of tho bureau, of animal Industry which applies -(ests before killing, but deterioration is always possible in 8torago pr at tho retail butcher's or oven oftor delivery Jo tho ultimate consumer. It resolves itself, then, into a question who should bear tho loss fop what Is condemned. If It is left between tho packer and the producer, tho former will try to throw it off, but must do so in tho lower price ho pays fpr tho Animals which ho buys whoreas inspection at tho place of shipment, advocated for thlB pur poso, would put it qn thp stock ralsor beforo his stock goes on tho market, Dotwoon tho packer and tho butcher, tho cost of condemna tion losses, wo may bp euro, will ho transferred to tho rotallor and by him to tho consumer In a higher' prlco charged. Just take it for granted that tho (cost of insuring pure moat s in tho long run carried by the producer or tho consumur and not by tho mlddlo man. Our Increasing Insular Trade. Tho enormous growth of commerco between tho United States and Its in sular possessions furnishes a subjec't of interesting thought as prespntod by tho Dopartmont of Commerce's formidable array pf statistics. With Alaska, Hawaii, Porto Itico, Guam, thto Philippines and Tutqlla our com mercial Intorcpurgp is expanding bv Ida ps and. bounds, mostly, of course, In shipments to them. This Is gratifying to business inter ests, but tho chief significance and spurco of gratlflcatlpn fo tho govern ment inust bo that it shows tho benovolont and edifying effect of AfflSrlGfin occupation In theso Islands', It shows that our lnfluonco has roarod thoso people to higher stand ards of living, whoro their tastos and habits demand bpttqr things and aro no longer content with tho old ways of living. Whllo affording largpr out lets to American products, it brpad ens thp oxpanso of American institu tions nnd substitutes them for those that havo hold thoso people down in stead of lifted thorn up. It Is pos sible, therefore, to measure "bonovo H.nt assimilation" by tho standard of business dono In such Instances art tl080, but that is by no means tho sdo measurement at our disposal.

Let Everybody Advertise, OMAHA, June K.-To the Editor of The Bee: No doubt you have many readers who are Interested In advertising. It may possibly be that some of them may have. to make a little speech at some coming festivity, tin which their professional zeat will prompt them to proclaim the benefits of maktnj themselves and their .goods known to ill men and women.

More J'redlclJjuiis from .Jerry SdUTII OMAHA, Neb-, June ?l.-To the Editor of Tho Bee: Congressman C. Lpbeck was recently quoted 4U lno Bee na saying that "he does not think there wll be any evidence discovered of money having been paid to m.emb.ers to nflucpce tariff legislation." It would be Loo bad IX anyone of our distinguished statesmen at Washington pr elsewhere w.ere detected receiving bribes or blood money. Statesmen .havo returned from Uncoln to Omaha during legislative sessions and pronpunccU all the darUngs there like Caesar's wife above sueplclpn, and therq is no doubt but there are men In Chicago, too, who would guarantee the good Intentions pf the lawmakers at Springfield, ill. The proof of the pudding Is In tho eat ing, wherp there Is smoke there Is fire, and tb public are becoming better acquainted with tbe t actio and strategy of the lobbyist or "legislative counsels, and the servile tools of the special In terests, whether In office or else whero. Tho public would be better pleased par ticularly his constituents In this neck ot thij woods with the congressman's inter views it he would give his Ideas on thq way to solve the greatest problem that confronts tbe nation nowadays, the in dustrial unrest The time Is approaching when the lobbyists, the grafter and the legislative counsels will be looked upon with creater contempt than the unfortu nate scarlet woman on the street with an apology to the fallen woman, for the -I mole prosUtute Is the worst. JERRY HOWARD. "Wopster Dosuitlses a Little. SILVER CREEK. Neb.. June 20.-To the Editor ot Tho Bee: For some time past I havo been taking a Uttle note ot tbe dogmatlzlngs of "B. O. M." In Th.a Beo and otner papers. He speaks as one having authority which, together with his ability to manufacture smopth-sdund-Ing sentences with Very little of either loglo or sense, well qualifies him to oc cupy an orthodox pulpit. In church no ope Is permitted to toko Issue with the preacher not matter what illogical, ab surd, ridiculous or out-of-the-way things he may say. But when a preacher leaves the beaten path of dispensing salvation to fcllowmcn' and makes ti newspaper his forum, I suppose It may bo per-, jnlsslble for a totally depraved citizen, who is so unfortunate as never to have been born but once, to tako a few swipes at him. In the Letter Box of June 9. E. O. M. talks abo.ut the theological doctrine of rewards ond, punishments, and declares that without a belief In that dpctnne "tho human race would be absolutely without any Jnotlve to practice virtue or to love Justice." Now, let me dogmatize & Uttle by saying that po man ever per formed, or ever will perform, a virtuous act with the belief or hope that he would thereby receive a reward as his motive, mid no man ever loved Justice, his mother, his sweetheart, a highball or anvthintc else, through a motive of on- tafnlng a reward. Virtuous acta and love da pqt come in such ways. Was the good Samaritan looking for a reward? Was the love of David for Ansoiom in spired from the motive of receiving a reward, or from any moUveT xo osk such questions Is to answer them, and. the, answers aro all ticau ngainsi me pious preachments of E. O. M. In conclusion. E, O. M. mentions sev eral of the worst crimes: says society has never bcer, able to punish all these crimes, and then, with great unoUon, triumphantly declares . that "If God Is God, sucli men will be punished; forget It not." On the contrary, God is, very much In, the lablt of punishing the vlrtuoue and ot rewarding the worst of criminals. Tlls Is the usual procedure; A Rev. Rlpheson murders an Avis Unnel. So ciety puts the Rev. Rjcheson n the pent tentlary and God sends the Avis LJnnel straight to hell. Then tbe prison chap lain (we havo ono at Lincoln), or some qutslde sky pllpt, helps the Rev. Rlche son to make his peace with God, where upon society stretches his neck, or gives him the "proper dose of electricity, and then God hikes him off to heaven, gives him a a-Old crown and a white kimono, and there he slnga and shouts and has a. hilarious old time to all eternity, uo caslonajly he turns his thoughts to his ppor, loving, oonfldlng Avis In heU, and that adds much to his blissful enjoyment nf the heavenly world. Great scheme, this wonderful plan of salvation I ueiier scnu nam " Blly to come and explain It to the be nighted citizens of Omaha and Nebraska.

Why Apologise for the Substitute f KANSAS CITY, Mo.. June l.-To the Editor of The Bee: I observe the ex pression of W- C Pearoe, 4fjternationa! Sunday school secretary. Indicating pride in a cabinet member ruling out whisky, wine and champagne from his official functions, whjch Is commendable as far as It goes. . However, If the Intoxicants were ruled out, why maintain "Imitation" of the cus tom by serving anything .In lieu ot the Stronger drinks? The immorality Is not so much in the strength of the liquor .as It Is lp the public practice pf its use, whlflh ,has ,fuji endorsement n ,a -substitute, even though It be ,grapc Juice. Grape Juice was .not used In place nt .water, .tea or coffee. It was .not used to quench thirst, but Ms uso was wholly In Imitation of the stronger beverage and .that Use was accompanied by nn apology or tho absence' of stropg drnk, notwlth- sianamg the Tact that the secretary of state In entertaining official guests is under no obligation to apologize for his .table and tho food and drink thereon served. If Mr. Bryan had served turkey in place of roast beef, he -would "have .made no apology to a "beef eatlnK" .Englishman therefor nor to -anybody else. His guests are .presumed to eat -and drink that which is placed before rtlrem with out question qr comment and -Mr. Bryan failed to rise to .the dignity ot jhls posi tion and to his Tights as ihopt when he, served grape iulce with an ,apqiogy therefor. ji. KELLY. Nebular Loiric. OMAHA, Jpno 21. To the Edltpr of The Beer lie's In again! I .refer to .the dili gent contributor ,to The Bee's letter ,box who oscillates between Missouri Valley and Omaha to get ideas on vast subja&ia to be explained by Jilm to a benighted public. I write this not to carry opt ,an, arcument, for plainly an argument with mm is lmpossjbe. I want to point out tho humor In his rebuttal to my argu ment on his amusing "treatise" qn human naturo, savagery, civilization and other things, ' for fear somo unlucky person missed the fun. So this I Intend to be something like tho reference book one takes with him when going through a museum or art gallery. This is a sort of guide through the labyrinthlan ways of this man's mental wandering in that re buttal, which, I might add, is typical of his dally letters. He calls my attention to tho tact that It his statement "about a savage being a. savage -by nature Is un true. It cannot be refuted by reversing it, nor by comparing it to the statement about the dog having nine legs," It is laughable how he considers that I denied tho fact that a savage is a savage by nature and It is equally tunny bow he reached the conclusion that his statement haul been "reversed." I reversed Ills syllogism .and added ono of my own that about tho dog to show what absurd conclusions can bo reached through syllo gisms. I ask him now, Is it reversing his state ment, "a savage is a. savage by nature," to say that "a civUlzed man Is civilized by nature?" To make the latter state ment, ho says, of course denies what he said (the former), but that la all It does do; simply a denial. I repeat. Is that a denial? This Is merry, eh Judges? Then further In his rebuttal this dolly writer writcs-Vwhore savagery ends and civiliza tion .begins .cannot bo known," etc With that statement he was trying to answer my question, "in the gradual change from savagery to civilization -as It Is. to day, -when did we change from the natural to .tho artificial?" You see. I asked about tho change from natural to artificial and he comes back to tell me about the chance from rayogory to civili sation. Condcal, Isn't it? Then he clinches this latter statement, which I dq pqt deny, wnn ine point wicro in stinct ends and reason begins cannot be known for the samo reason." and I will not try to comment on that. It having nothing to do with the point at issuo, but will add merely Incidentally -that I could cite pne case where reason ends and lnstlnot begins. However, I would not Ilka to be rude enough to say that It occurs' when this man alts down to pro duco his dally epistle. I shall quit here, making the request that he let the world know his opinion on tho regrcsslvo multiplication or causes, that lie explain the nobular hypothesis, rofute the Newtonian theory and give us his argument on tbe origin ana tuncuon of music. These will an oe gqoa ana i am sure wUl furnish material enough to keep his words In print tor the next year. C, B. W. Conirrtttulatlons Thnulte. OMAHA, June, 19.

No doubt the gentleman Is justified In his suggesUons, but does he realize that the number of apprentices is regulated by the unions and that It Is very hard for an aspirant without in fluence to ''get next?" Also that much ot the finer-work In the trades lines la be lng sadly neglected? ' I don't want to say that It Is owing to the unions, but I know that since the uqlona have organized In the bookbinders line, one can't get a book .silt edged In Omaha. Thirty years ago. one could get the moat fancy binding done, auch as Is exhibited in world's fairs. This Is also true In glass cutting.

And why not wait till the courts have N made a final decision on the suit now pending between the gas cqmpany ,and the city? WJhy doea the jras commnv alr tn nn v ,thn expenses of a special election and thus hasten to bind tho city by a small Vote to the advantage of 'the company?

OMAHA, June SI To the Editor of The Bee: One objection tq the passage of this ordinance in Its present fprm Is the provision that the ordinance shall became effective if approved by a majority ot tho voters voting pn It at a special elec tion called for this purpose alone. The total qualified voters of the city Is more than 25,(03. At a special election it Is calcujoted that there mov not be more than 9.003 votes oast So the ordinance may become effective by the approval ot nqt more than opetenth. of the voters ot the city. It the ordinance were submitted at a regular election, when probably not ess than MDOO votes Will be cast, it would require the approval of 10,000 votes to make the ordinance effective, or nearly two-fifths of those entitled to vote. Why, then, the expense ot a. special election? It Is understood that the gas company will bear the expense ot the special elec tion. The fact that the gas company Is willing to bear the expense of a special election rather than to lt the Issue be decided at a regular election shows that Little Stories tmi Talks About Adrertisinf Copyrlgh,t, 1913, By Harry Scherman) Why Do These People Advertise? One of the greatest tributes ever pjiid to the value of newspaper advertising is that offered by the great Wool worth Building in New Yorjc. This is the highest office building in the world. It overtops Manhattan. It can be seen from Jersey and from Brooklyn. On a clear day you can see it from Har lem. It is the most noticeable object in New York City. It might som that such a towering structure would he its own best advertisement. What can be the use, the unthinking will ask, of calling attention to a building which hundreds of thousands of people aee, a hundred Ume a day, and every day in the week? Yet tho Woolworth Building is advertised in tho newspapers. Whs? Obviously because Its agents understand that tho quick est way to sell anything IsTO SELL IT AND NOT M3T IT SELL ITSELF. Because they UCdorBtand that business men might con tinue to look at the building for years, without thinking of moving into it. The lessori hits every business man. There may be thousands of people who want what you have to sell, or who can easily be made to want it. Bu,t you can't expect to make them customers, UNLESS YOU REMIND THEM CONSTANTLY THAT YOUR GOODS ARE ON. THE MARKET. Possibly the desire for your goods exists and nted only be AROUSED, Possibly the desire has to be CREATED. For either purpose, ADVERTISE! A representative of THE! BEE will be glad to Call add glye ad vice and assistance to intending advertisers. Phone Tyler 1000.
