THK MEAT Ql'ESTIOX.
In the local columns of the paper
today we are 'giving the people of
Raleigh some inside information re-
garding the condition of the meat
business in this city. The' Evening
Times has started an investigation
into the meat and milk htisLiess here
with a view to locating! the cause for
much of the sickness in Hie city. In
Raleigh we have no inspected slaughter-house
with a meat inspector. The
conditions are about us bad as could
be in darkest 4lussia. Instead of be
ing sanitary it is filthy and rotten.
When the people who serve the pub
lic with meat are so careless with hu
man life it is time for the public to
rise up and denjand that a stop be
put to such conditions.'- Unless some
thing is done to give the people of
this city clean pure meat we will have
enough epidemics this summer to kill
out half the population. The food
supply of this city is something that
should demand quick attention from
the authorities and they should take
action that will force men who handle
the food supply to do it in a clean
and sanitary way. Raleigh needs a
public slaughter-house under the con
trol of the city, and then the city
could have an inspector there whose
duty it would be to see that no meat
Is sold to the public that has the
germs of tuberculosis or any other
d. erase In it. This would give the
meat to the public in a clean sani
tary condition, and put a !stop to
much of the disease of the city. Un
less something is done t,o remedy the
conditions as they exist today' human
lives will pay the penalty for this
negligence.
THK ADMINISTRATION.
The now city administration is In
.charge of the affairs of th,is city and
it is now Mayor Wynne and Judge
Stronach, instead of Mayor Johnson
and Judge Badger. '
As we have said before we have
the highest hopes for the success of
the new administration. Many dif
ficult problems will come before fflie
new board for solution, but it Is com
posed of men who have the wisdom
and the courage to solve them rightly.
That they will make mistakes, no
one doubts, but that they have the
courage to correct mistakes when
found to be wrong everyone believes.
We do not always expect to .be able
to agree with them as to matters of
public policy, but we expect at all
times to labor with them in every
effort they may make for the better
government of Raleigh or for its bet
ferment along Industrial or other
' lines.
The people expect much of the new
administration. It came into power
on a wave that was almost revolu
tionary in character. There was
great protest against previous admin
istrations and the new administra
tion came into power amid such a
popular upheaval as has scarcely been
witnessed in this section. So we say
again that Raleigh has not in years
had an administration of which so
much is expected. But it starts off
well and we believe will meet the con
ditions fairly and squarely and give
to the city the best government in
every way that it has ever had.
That Mayor Wynne has a firm grip
on the situation is evidenced by his
"inaugural'- address yesterday. In
enumerating the pledges' made to the
people Mayor Wynne said:
. "We made the following promises
In the campaign:
' "1st. To reduce the tax rate in the
ctty as soon as possible, and to make
a 11.00 rate our goal, " .
; "2d. To see to it that the laws of
our city are enforced.
' "3d. To put in business-like and
thoroughly efficient men In every ae
partment of the city.
"4 th. To run the city as econom
ically as a large and successful bus
iness is- run; to conduct It for the
citizen nnd uutror the office-holders.

eigh, that is, to do all we can to
I unite our people in a forward-going
spirit and to encourage at every pos-
sU,,e Mjit.the building up of our city
-to make Jicr what she ought to be,
the forenlost dtv in tho stat0 and tne
centre of the state's1 life.
"These -are great- tasks. But we
have given our pledges, and the bur
den is upon us. 1 am glad that they
are great tasks. I am. glad- that our
people are expecting much of us. I
regard this administration as having
the best opportunity to serve our city
that has been offered in the history
of Raleigh, and 1 believe that I am
now confronted with the men fit for
this task." --
And he makes a good suggestion by
saying that while they cannot do
everything at once, they can start
light by 'practicing economy from the
start. He also makes a good sugges
tion to the board of aldermen that
they make a thorough investigation
of the city's affairs, taking stock, so
to speak, and finding out whore the
city stands, and then letting the peo
ple know the facts and at all times
keeping them fully posted as to the
city's affairs. .
His speech rings true in every
word. It shows a very proper appre
ciation of the difficulties!, before, ills!
administration, but it also shows a
proper, determination and .spirit to
meet and overcome those difficulties.
Let nil ciiizetiH of '.Raleigh ..uphold his
hands iu every effort he. makes along
the lines of Irs address yesterday.
Dispatches say that positive proofs
of the revival of industrial prosperity
ia the big mill towns of Mononoga
hela . Valley are furnished by the
steady employment of large armies of
workmen, in the steel plants and
these conditions are improving with a
hound that promises a speedy return
to conditions as they were before the
panic of 1907. Homestead is now the
centre of Industrial activity, the
Homestead steel works of the Carne
gie Steel Company working 73 per
cent, of its capacity double time.
Out of thirty mills but three are idle,
more than 4,000 men being employed.
Tho activity in these mills make it
necessary that the blast furnaces run
on full time so as to supply them
with molten Iron, so eight of the
eleven furnaces at Uraddock are run
ning and the others are read v to run
at a moments notice, 11 of which in
dicates better conditions coming.
PRESS COMMENT
The Riilelgh Klection.
Again yesterday democracy tri
umphed in Raleigh and this in spite
of sensational differences that had
split the ranks of the party at one
time. The democrats had a hot fight
at. the primary and during the cam
paign preceding the primary election
there were some stirring occurences,
but, like loyal soldiers who had
fought the ba'tle bravely, the Piitire
ranks came together after the war
and presented a solid phalanx to the
common enemy. Just after tho pri
mary it was reported, and evidently
without : truth, according to the re-
Baby Laugh
It belongs to health for a baby to
eat and sleep, to laugh and
grow fat. ...
But fat comes first; don't ask
a scrawny baby to laugh;
why, even his smile is pitiful!
Fat comes first. .,
The way to be fat Is the way to
be healthy.

day's election showed the folly, the
error of both, because the democrats
rolled up an overwhelming mapority.
In fact, the republican ticket received
only 177 votes, while the democratic
ticket received nearly 1,400.
The situation and the result of the
Raleigh election should put to blush
those wishy-washy democrats who are
always talking about we need two
parties. The same can apply to the
wishyrwashy republicans if In oppo
sition to the conscientious ones of
their party, of ''course. No man
should be driven out of a party, but
if he believes in the principles of that
party he should have courage enough
to stick to it and try and down the
other fellows. As in the Raleigh
case, the primary gives ample oppor
tunity to settle personal differences,
and saves shattering the foundation.

Woman's Clubs.
From every section of the state wo
men have gone to Raleigh to attend
the Federation of Women's Clubs,
now in session in the Capital City.
Men are too prone to look upon wo
men's clubs as merely social organi
zations, with no real work to do. But
this is a very 'inaccurate view of the
matter. The women's clubs of flic
state are doing a real work of value.
Schools are improved, towns and cit
ies are made better, rural districts
are rendered more desirable as a
place of habitation and the state Is
made better by the work tli.it the
women thus banded together are do
ing. Kinstou Free Press.
The "Tag Day' Holdup.
This from the Charlotte News
of
the 15(1: ..
" 'Tag Day was an unqualified suc
cess. A goodly sum was collected for
the purchase of new books for the
library. All day Saturday the young
ladies were faithful to the task of
tagging the male population of the
city and by everting almost every coat
lapel was ornamented with a tag.
Charlotte citizens are always ready ao
help along a good cause, and this was
one deserving hearty aid,"
We say once more what we have
said over and again: That the Char
lotte citizen of the right sort is wor-.
thy all emulation in the matter of
public spirit, but he has fallen down
woefully in permitting himself to be
victimized by "tag day" solicitors or
is solicitor the word? The Charlotte
young women were moved, as are all
the sympathetic souls where the "tag
day" idea has taken hold, by but one
purpose, and that most laudable.
But land this is the argument bor
rowed of an unremembered one that
gave rise to our enmity to the idea) a
young woman .who, under ordinary
conditions would turn her head from
a stranger who would so much as be
stow an admiring glance upon her is
permitted by the unwritten law to
pounce upon the same stranger, at
tach a worthless tag to the lapel of
his coat, the handle of his umbrella,
the strap of his boot, or whercnot,
and fender a dimpled hand for the re
ception of compensation in whatever
sum the victim may choose to give
an, in tne name of sweet charity.
The idea Is all wrong. , It may
squeeze sweat from the brow and long
green from the jeans of old tightwad,
but the result does not justify the
means.
If there be those who are needy; if
a church must be built; if civic spirit
aiming in whatever direction it may,
feels need of financial support, let It
express its needs through channels
not. so foreign to the old-fashioned
notions of propriety. Let our girls
and women continue to stand as they
have ever stood, for a becoming mod
esty, one of the richest of their Jew
els. -Salisbury Post.
The Parent Love,
There Is nothing in all the world
to compare with the parent love.
There is no extremity to which the
normal mother or father will not re
sort, when the offspring, whatever Its
years or condition, is involved. The
most hopeless criminal, the most de
praved creature in woman's form Is
never wholly lost in the eye of the
parent. An extenuating circumstance
Is ever ready, a plea of mercy and
still more mercy ever upon the
tongue.
We are reminded of thia surpass
ing devotion by the case of poor old
General Hains, who took the witness
stand at Flushing, Long Island, for
the defense In the trial for his life
" "'o ouu, a,ji, reier v. riainB. me
burden of his testimony wan that bis
son was Irresponsible from childhood
had displayed peculiarities not con
sistent with tho conduct of the normal-minded.
Who shall say that if this old sol
dier, stricken In years but with a par
ent's heart, and a parent's love, errs
to the side of the son whose bands
are stained by a fellow's blood, has
Binned beyond forgiveness? Salis
