"BALUNGER SHOULD GO"
(Editorial from Collier's Weekly of Sept 18.)
AGIN'E not, O reader, that the controversy between
Pinchot and Ballinger is a conflict of individuals. In
it two great forces clash. Ballinger talks about strict
construction of the law. We shall speedily see how
that such remark*, from his tongue should be accepted as an
evil joke. He has pushed the law to its limit, if Mr) beyond,
against the public welfare. I'm. hut, in the administrative dis
cretion Mi to him, km acted m attorney for the people of this
country, living and to come.
As illuminating this BaßtagSf talk about respect for legal
strictness, let us spend one moment on the Alaska land cases.
Immediately after his resignation as commissioner of the gen
eral land office, Ballinger became attorney for the Cunning
ham group. Are these**men dummies for the Guggenheim* and
the smelter trust? The prise consists of copper mines and
coal fields valued at several billion dollars. What right had
Ballinger to take this job? Please glance casually at section
190 of the Revised Statutes:
"It shall not be lawful for any person sppointed after the first day
of Jun«, 1872, as an officer, dork, or employee In sny of the depart
ments, to set as counsel, attorney, or agent for prosecuting any
claim against the United Ststes which was pending In either of ..Id
department* while he was such an officer, clerk, or employee, nor
In any manner, nor by any means, to aid In the proseout.on of any
such clslm, within two years next after he shsll have ceased to be
such officer, clerk, or employee."
A* lawyers differ about the technical extent of this slatuto, we may
confine ourselves to the spirit, of which Justice Lamar of the United

SCORE OF BUTCHERS
CAUGHT IN THE ACT
"Freezum" and Other Preservatives Used
to Disguise Taste and Color of Putrid
Sausage and Hamburg Steak
'**>■■ " * ■** .'.''■■''
Are the people of Seattle being systematically fed with diseased and de
cayed meat ?
Twenty-three butchers, among whom are some of the most prominent in
the city, have been arrested for foisting putrid meat on the public which they
have disguised by application of harmful chemicals.
ONE PROMINENT BUTCHER, WHO ESCAPED THE OFFICERS OF
THE LAW, SAYS:
"IF THEY ARREST ALL WHO USE 'FREEZUM,' EVERY ONE OF US
i mmkr^MWtmmom \m%\\\tot $imt\ ***iJii n i ■iy *mw ta iiiiiir.aißiwpi ***Mt*mngmm* m mMtMmmmWmmmp^MiMM
WILL HAVE TO GO TO JAIL."
Despite the fact that the prices of meat have soared until they are prohibi
tive to all except the most financially fortunate, the butchers are bringing to
their aid all the skill of the chemist, that the scraps of decaying meat may be
disguised to escape the warning of the palate.
\*tmr*l*KmMmmm^*'* a mmtm^
"Freezum," boric acid, benzoate of soda, sodium sulphide and all the "pre
servatives" the laboratory has produced are used to hide the nauseating taint.
Meat that would gag a dog, properly treated with "Freezum," passes the sou-: *
tiny of the most careful housewife and reaches the table.
And then there is the inexplicable sickness that can be attributed only gen
erically to "something I ate."
The probabilities are that it was the meat in varying stages of putrefaction,
because these preservatives ONLY FRESHEN THE APPEARANCE OF THE
MEAT AND HAVE NO EFFECT ON ITS PUTRESCENCE.
Rotten meat steeped in "Freezum" is just as rotten as if not treated, only
"Freerum" kills the warning odor and gives the meat a fresh red color.
But tlie quality of the meat has not changed, except for the worse. The
"beef trust" has enough chemists in its employ to create a reasonable doubt
as to the actual injurious properties of these preservatives of themselves, but
there never has been any question as to the poisonous qualities of decaying
meat
:■.""-'■ **__^hH_B_m_^-_b^^_^_HßP i'^^L^''*^
Yet butchers themselves, and men who know the business, declare that
these preservatives are generally used. The two big packing houses of the
i V Bl''*____Bß9n^_______MCoH^
city are among those arrested on evidence secured by the state health depart
ment. .;.;.'.•': :.
—— ■ ■■ , _ *- ; '-._ ' .
To protect the people of Seattle from putrid meat, there are two - men de
tailed from the health department, and one of them is forced to spend all of his
time at one packing plant .
