HEALTH BOARD PUSHES DRIVE ON BAD FOODS

‘Bootleg’ Products Sold by Peddlers Object of Official Crusade.

City health authorities today renewed efforts to halt food “bootlegging,” following arrest and conviction last week of a Pure Foods Act violator, according to Dr. Herman Morgan, Health Board secre- | tary. | Constant vigilance must be main- | tained to prevent peddling of “everything from horseradish to fresh ham,” Dr. Morgan said. A local man, arrested by Health Board officers as he was attempting to peddle “bootlegged” oleomargar- | ine to a grocer, pleaded guilty and | was sentenced to 30 days on the | State Farm and fined $50 and costs.

| “Home Factories” Problem

| He pointed out that many families endeavor to earn a living in this manuer, but are endangering the health of the entire community.

| He cited as an example one famlily which was making and selling [candy and sandwiches. An investigation by Health Board officers revealed the husband had suffered from tuberculosis for several years.

Meat Often Diseased

Farmers and small-town residents in the Indianapolis territory some|times peddle uninspected meat to |local consumers, according to Dr. Morgan. | The meat often comes from animals which have died from disease, | he said. “Housewives think they are get[ting a bargain when they purchase | uninspected food at a cheaper price, but instead are risking sickness and | doctor bills,” Dr. Morgan stated.

The judges do not govern the people; and, as for the policies in the way of which the present judges are alleged to stand as obstacles, the judges do not condemn those policies, nor praise them, nor in any manner criticise them.

Some of the judges and possibly, so far as we know, all of them may approve of those policies; it is not their business to tell us whether they do or do not. Their business is solely with the words and groups of words used in the Constitution of the United States and its amendments. They are simply the highest authority we have on the meaning of those words and groups of words. All the judges can tell us is what those words mean, and, by the Constitution itself, their majority opinion, no matter by how large or small a majority, settles the meaning of the word or groups of words in the Constitution, The judges do not say to all of us or to any one of us, “You shall do this thing or that thing!” or “You shall not do this thing or that thing!” They only say, “The word black means black; the word white means white.” | Proponents of the bill declare that its real purpose is to replace the present judges with men who | will have the present President's

good purposes so much at heart that, in order to forward them, they will say to us, the people, “The word black means white; the word white means black.” That is to say, we shall hencee forth have no dictionary. The words in our Constitution will henceforth mean whatever any President—good President or bad President, strong President or weak President, intelligent President or stupid President (and we have had all of these and shall again)—the words of which our Constitution is composed will henceforth mean what any President wants them to mean. President Roosevelt knows his own good intentions and benevolent pur=pose; but we, the people—or at least many of us—are permitted to doubt if he himself would care to take this risk if he were one of us, a private citizen—and if Mr. Henry Ford, for instance, were President! We're pretty confident, in fact, that if this were the case, Mr. Roosevelt would prefer to keep the dictionary.
