Any new discovery tnese wiemnn time to Is at once made into regulation so that pork products made under, and bearing the mark of federal Inspection, are a free from the danger of transmitting trichinosis as the application of scientific research can make them. We find formularies in print today for the making of products containing pork that, in so far as the formulas are concerned, take no account of the findings of science in reference to the prevention of trichinosis.

Senator Hiram Johnson Calif.) At a time when isolation has become a fetish for many, it is fitting to recall some of the evidences of America's pride as a placa of refuge since the Pilgrims landed at riymouth Rock in 1620. One such landmark, symbolizing the hope of people who migrate from their homeland to this foreign shore, 1 th Statue of Liberty In New York harbor, which will be 50 years old this fall.

There Is a sonnet on the wall at the base of the statue that Is worth re-reading today, when many ara again fleeing from the hand of oppression. Emma Lazarus' sonnet to the Statue of Liberty is printed elsewhere on this page today. claimed St supporters for a decla ration against the repeal or mod- iflcation of the present neutrality law prohibiting the sale or expor methods of preparation as will inure the destruction of any possible live trichinae that may be present, to the end that the human family may be spared any unsuspected exposure thereto. To do les than this i to fail in the carrying out of a well known public health measure thereby bringing reproach upon manufactured pork products that have been prepared under strict governmental supervision and are above suspicion as being capable of communicating trichinosis. Frankfurters and Bologna Cooked sausages such as frankfurters, wieners and bolognas have been subjected to considerable incrimination of late by some alarmed, but not too well informed members of the press alleging that these products have contributed to the Incidence of human trichinosis.

It Is not believed these members of the press Intended to cast stigma upon such of these products as "were prepared 1mder federal Inspection. However, in Justice to the subject of trichinosis it is felt that those particular writer failed to take (By Dr. E. 8. Dickey, veterxnarxan and former federal meat inspector, in the Morrell Magazine.) When traveling cross-country nowaday by auto we frequently observe, Just before entering town or city a sign reading somewhat as follow: "The water supply of this town is approved by the State Board of Health and is safe." Such lgna a these were not common until within the last quarter of the present century.

Scientific research which ha as it principal goal the discovery of those thing that are hurtful to mankind and the finding of mean for correcting them, found that aomt apparently wholesome water supplies were contaminated and corrected them. Thereafter, man drank with assurance and safety of theae supervised water supplies and ha found that his confidence la well placed. Harmless If Cooked For hundreds of years man has eaten and greatly relished pork. The first case of trichinosis in human was found in 1S42. It was not until 1S47 when Leidy, a scientist, found trichinae in pork.

Until these discoveries were made not even the word, trichinosis" had been coined and pork waa in high esteem. But once again scientific research rose to the occasion as it did in the case of drinking water and innumerable other instances and announced that pork la aa harmless a pur water if only well cooked. It is a well known fact that the cooking of meat develop their flavor and thi i especially true of pork. Victory of Science Although trichina was only found to exist in nature within comparatively recent years, yet, there 1 every reason to believe its actual existence dates as far back a that of any other living thing. But, now that scientific research has found It nut, and uncovered Its haunt and habits, It ha also told us how to completely subdue Its unfavorable Influence In relation to man Just as it ha told us how to master all other discovered enemies of mankind that have come under his 'cnniiiering march.

Science has contributed much along this line by its helpful and worth-while advice. It has told us how we may continue to enoy pork and with utmost safety. But who are they that publish far and wide that pork should not be eaten? 'I'nnecessary Alarm' It is common knowledge that the darkness of night lends undue and grotesque proportions to innocent objects when those who, in its dimness, forsake reason and let unfounded fear run rampant. In like manner the darkness of comparative ignorance, based on only part-information in reference to pork, is very apt to allow one ruled by it to become unnecessarily alarmed, forsake reason and to picture grotesque dangers as lurking there, which, in the light of scientific research are revealed to be well within the power of man to completely control. Present knowledge dlnelnses that no instance of trichinosis has ever occurred, or can occur, following the consumption of well cooked pork.

Hamburgers, Federal and Local It 1 unlikely If anyone would knowingly eat uncooked pork. The cases of human trichinosis that have occurred were doubtles the result of their having unsuspectingly eaten raw or uncooked pork. Parking plants operating under supervision of the Federal Meat Inspection System are denied to market as hamburger a product consisting of other than chopped fresh beef. It is well known that many hamburger stands mix chopped raw pork with chopped fresh beef in making the hamburgers they sell and that patrons, thereby, unsuspectingly consume uncdoked pork, as many of these hamburgers are scarcely more than warmed.

"There are between 84 and 4J members of the chamber who directly or indirectly are reported to have expressed a willingness to take part In a talk-fest against the administration's a Washington report, Chicago Journal of Commerce. Dozens of Items could be added to those above to show that what is really involved in the neutrality bill fight is Roosevelt and anti-Roosevelt. The situation is the same as it was in the closing days of th Wilson administration when th CROWN OR NO CROWN.

At present there are 78 United State war vessels actually on the ways or In the final atagea of completion. Before the year Is out, thera will be as many as 90 vessels in construction. Of these, five will be battleships, two of them And of these two battleships, one will be named the "Iowa." The last time a battleship was to be named the "Iowa" was In 1923, but thanks to the Washington naval agreement of 1922, the ship did not have to be built. This saved the taxpayers some At that time the American government called the naval conference, realizing the enormous cost involved in a naval race with either Great Britain or Japan, to say nothing of the ultimate futility of it. And then also there was, at the time, a worldwide demand for peace.

It was at that naval conference that Secretary of State Hughes first laid down the 5-5-3 ratio, with the United States and Great Britain on a par with each other and Japan at the small end of the formula. Under the 5-5-3 ratio, it was supposed that the three largest fleet In the world had been put beyond one another's reach, that each was being made virtually Invulnerable in Its home waters. This was true as far as the three major naval powers were concerned, but it ignored the possibility that other great powers, such aa Germany and Russia, might some day seek to rebuild their sea forces. This, at least in the case of Germany, has occurred. If the Washington treaty of 1922 accomplished anything, it put an end to the most expensive form of competition- that in big ships.

That rivalry started In the ISSOs with 10.000-tonners. By the time the Washington conference was held, the United States had plans for 43.500-tonners, Japan the same, and the British were completing four vessels in the Hood class, each of about tons. Nor was this all. There was talk of building superdreadnought run tributed to a $7,500 fund for the purchase of the crown, and then the crown Itself was Identified by a German-language newspaper, the Deutseh Laplata Zeitung, as one long lost after It had been worn by a "Gothic king" in the fourth or fifth century, and rediscovered after the World war by peasants who plundered an ancient tomb In the Ukraine. With the crown, the newspaper asserted, were found a aword, necklace, and a ring.

The ring was said to be now in the Berlin Geographic museum. Hitler's formal schooling was brief but, if he Is familiar with any of Shakespeare, he has probably read Julius Caesar. Mark Into account that in the manufacture ot inese sausages, wherever prepared, they must be subjected to certain temperatures during cooking and smoking to Insure their keeping qualities and that these temperatures are ordinarily more than sufficient to destroy any trichinae that may be present. Such sausages may be eaten either hot or cold with a high degree of safety. Sausages prepared under federal Inspection are heated to temperatures much higher than Is necessary to Insure the destruction of any trichinae that may be present.

Concerning the subject of trichinosis in swine, authorities inform us that grain-fed hogs have much less trichinosis than hogs fed on uncooked garbage containing pork scraps, the latter clas of hogs having about ten times as much infestation as grain-fed hogs. The incidence of trichinosis in grain-fed hogs ranges between one-half of 1 per cent to approximately 1 per cent. Garbage Feeding If pork scraps are to be fed uncooked, competent authorities advise that they should be fed to poultry since fowls do not contract trichinosis. It is plain that farmers and others should, as a means of definite control, discontinue the feeding of uncooked pork scraps to hogs. Where It Is known to local authorities that hogs are being fed garbage, the cooking of it should be required as a sanitary measure.

It may be claimed that the cooking of it is expensive and takes away any profit from the feeding of garbage. The control of any livestock disease is not without some expense. If the incidence of trichinosis in swine is a matter of concern to local authorities, then the feeding of raw pork scraps to hogs may not be neglected. Inscribed on the base of the Statue- of Liberty on Bcdloe's Island in New York harbor is a sonnet by Emma Lazarus, under the caption, "The New Colossus." Fallowing is the text of the sonnet: Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame, With conquering limbs astride from land to land, Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name Mother of exiles. From her beacon hand Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.

"Keep, ancient land, your storied pomp," cries she With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me. I lift my lamp beside the golden door." Antony's famous oration over the League of Nations was nominally the issue. Of course there wa this difference in the two situations, namely that the Wilson administration was dealing with a treaty that had to have a two-thirds vote of the senate wherea the neutrality bill requires only a congressional majority.

No president comes to the end of his second term without facing an outbreak, for there are too many leader who feel that they will not have his support in the convention that is to name hi successor. Therefore they pick out an issue that they think ha popular appeal and seek to eliminate him from the situation. Nobody questions but that was th explanation of the Lodge-Borah fight against the Versailles treaty. The fact that it is Senator Hiram Johnson who is threatening a filibuster to prevent a vote on the neutrality bill if the administration insists on its passage will not be lost on those whose memories run back to the Versailles treaty fight. If a filibuster ahould actually come the intelligent citizen ought to go into the history of our Constitution making and learn just how it happened that the right to prevent legislation by endless talking should have developed from our American guarantee of free speech.

The filibuster is taking advantage of a mere technicality to block popular government, Just as organizing a one-third vote in the senate to control our foreign relations is taking advantage of a mere technicality. The framer of the Constitution never dreamed of either one. There is this difference in the two situations of Wilson and Roosevelt, that while there was talk of nominating Wilson for a third term his health had broken and the third term was not taken seriously by anybody. But President Roosevelt is not only talked of for a third term, but the belief is common that he will be nominated. It is easy to see how thi would affect leaders in the president's own party who do not happen to be hand and glove with the president.

Huey Long set up a lot of little wide open throttle. Perhaps knowing this, or perhaps because Doc was now up to his armpit in wheat, the brokers, Fenner and Beane, asked for a legal opinion regarding the value of the L.3.U. bonds as collateral. However, either they didn't ask It right away, or else it wasn't given right away, for It was not until April, 1989, that Fenner and Beane raised enough fuss to get the $316,000 of L.S.U. 4 withdrawn.

These are the bonds on which the signature of the late Governor O. K. Allen Is now alleged to have been forged. In their plac Doc came across with a cashier' check for $300,000 on the National Bank of Commerce. More Bonds.

On May 20, these same $375,000 worth of L.S.U. 4s were given back to the broker for safe-keeping, with word that another legal opinion was being asked for. This legal opinion came on June 5, but Fenner and Beane refused to accept it. They asked Smith to take up the bonds. By this time the grain market was convinced there was to be no war in Europe, and the price of wheat was dropping with sickening regularity.

It fell from 78'iC on May 31 to 75c on June 5, and when you have 3,500.000 bushels of wheat, that matters that the personal relationship between the president and Mr. John L. Lewi of the C. I. O.

And the board signed. It might be an authorization for a new building or it might be a new bond issue. Thus Doc Smith could borrow money for and from the university, appropriate bonds or do anything else. He was king. In fairness to Doc let It be said that until the time of Huey' death, he was a pretty good collegian, built the university up from an enrollment of 2,100 to 8,000, and constructed so many new buildings that alumni couldn't keep track of them.

After Hucy, the Deluge. But the kingflsh died, the system he had dictated went haywire, and five days after Governor Leche took office, Doc Smith, "King" of Louisiana State university, began to gamble. Who was with him in his gambling is not yet recorded, but the people of Louisiana have their suspicions, and tt is a safe bet that when a man buys 3,500,000 bushels of wheat with a loss of $430,000 he is not operating alone.

This gives another sidelight on politics as known and practiced in Louisiana, for the Charity hospital, built by Leon Weiss, also of the governing gang, has been damaged by cracking and sinking before completion. It now stands, a $12,500,000 monument awaiting still more funds. Doc Smith's brokers didn't like the smell of these bonds either, so after sparring over more L.S.U.
