Box 2063, New York, FIGHTING THE REFORMS. It Is to be regretted that the repre sentatives of the manufacturers of prepared foods do not meet the Govern ment Commissioners in a spirit dif ferent from the one they have shown in the hearings already held, says the New York Times. Instead of mak ing frank admission of the well known fact the fact better known to them than to anybody else that this trade has slowly come to be full of most evil practices that must be reformed In the public interest and In obedience to a thoroughly aroused public de mand, v these representatives assume the air of men who are the victims of a senseless clamor. They protest ve hemently against every suggestion of change in their methods, and they are apparently determined to keep the re forms within, the very smallest possible limits. Again and again they bring up the point that they have vast quantity of goods on hand which they cannot sell if the provisions of the Pure Food bill are enforced, and they ask, as if it were an unanswerable question, "Who Is going to stand the loss on these goods?" The assumption that the possibility of this loss should be carefully considered and prevented is amusing or impudent, according to the point of view. There is no chance'of loss on goods the present la bels of which tell the truth about them on goods that are neither adul terated or misnamed. "When either of these base and cowardly crimes has been committed the man to stand the loss is obviously the man who committed it, and he deserves no sympathy, not matter how great it may be. The pretense that people really want to have their foods colored and sophisticated is simply false; the proof of the falsity is the fact that the coloring and sophisticating are and always have been secret. It is true that in many cases most people have been so long deceived that they no longer know the natural appearance and taste of the food they think they are( buying, and would be inclined to reject it. if it were offered to them in the pure form, but this, instead of being an argument for the maintenance of the existng conditions, is but a stronger arraignment of the men who have brought them about. In almost every instance the purpose of food sophistication is to sell one thing for the price that the buyer is willing to pay for another and better thing. As Senator Beveridge 6aid, the buyer has a right to know what he is getting. Nobody who

denies that deserves a hearing; no

body who tries to prevent the obtain ing of such knowledge is honest. Con troversies over the danger or safety of this or that dye are of trivial moment In comparison with the enforcement of a law that will make every brand and label signncant, accurate, and explicit. That given, common sense and the doctors will provide' all the protection we need, and the man ufacturers will get all the profit they earn. GREAT OVATIOH FOR BEVERIDGE III WINDY CITY (Continued From Page One.) this and more If managed, not as a private business, but as a public trust. Government Regulation "Just as the organization of Ameri can industry developed out of chang ed conditions so the principle of gov ernment regulation develops out of the action of these organizations themselves. Just as the old meth ods of private business would be ut terly Inadequate in the new condition, so the old principle of arbitrary private management is utterly inapplicable to the new methods. And so it is that the new principle of regulation by the government of all the people, over business so great that it affects all the people, has developed from the very same causes that produced those great businesses themselves. It is better for the government of the people to interfere with the rail ways than for the railways to inter fere with the government of the peo ple. Railway ownership Is an evil so I iar-reacning ana iiuiouuu lucll uu L cjm fJreteH u darfe rGgultg But far-reachinsr and profound- that no railway interference with free gov ernment is also an evil which in the end will prove destructive of liberty because it pollutes the ballot when the people's representatives are chosen and the people's legislature after their representatives are chosen. If railway interference with the people's government is not stopped rail way ownership by the people's gov ernment may be compelled but no Pne can drive the American people to tli o wrptrhpd nltprnntivfi hilt the railroads themselves: Tne Pure Food Law. ness, it affects all the people. That is why we passed not only a law to compel the railways to give the peo ple just service, but also a law to compel manufacturers to give the people pure food.. The government exists for the people, and not the people for the government. The people established the government to do their work; the government did not establish the people to do its work. And, therefore, when manufactur ers sought to make vast fortunes by poisoning the people there was only one way by which the people could protect their lives and health, and that was by requiring their govern ment to Inspect the foods and medi cines which manufacturers were selling them. ; When the maker of foods and medicines conducts business not with individuals, his business Is no longer private but public. He is no longer an individual; he is a trus tee and his trust Is rendered sacred because it directly affects human life. The Cuban Situation. Six years, ago, almost to a day, I stood on this platform to answer Mr. Bryan on Imperialism, asserting in a word that American institutions were equal to the emergency of the Philippine problem; today I stand on the same platform answering Mr. Bry an, asserting that American institu tions were equal to the railway prob lem. But six years ago I went fur ther and declared tllat the Teller am endment, adopted in the excitemnt of a dclaration of war, pledging a des tiny to Cuba separate to our own, was a false and foolish doctrine whose fol ly events would declare. On this plat form six years ago almost to this day I asserted that Cuban affairs could never be independent of American interests that geography, civilization, and the nature of our race made the future of the Cuban and American people one and the same. Six years ago almost to this day on this plat form, I declared that, in substance, what afterward was known as the Piatt amendment, would be adopted All over the land political orators, even of our own party, acclaimed that utterance not only inopportune but impossible. And yet at the very next session of Congress that epochal stat ute, fathered by that then first of American public men. Senator Piatt, of Connecticut, was enacted by Con gress and afterward made a part of the Cuban constitution. The Piatt Amendment. Today every Cuban patriot and ev ery American citizen renders thanks to the All-seeing Director of human affairs for the Piatt amendment. It gives ns in our own law and in the fundamental ordinance of Cuba power to deal with those events which every student knew wer absolutely certain to tranvire. Personally I believe that if the present situation should untangle un der the diplomacy or that great young man whom conservatives once feared, but who has proved the ablest real conservative of them all, Theodore Roosevelt, it will appear again with the tangles infinitely multiplied. I speak for myself aone; the administration speaks for itself. - Progressive Freedom. And yet American government of Cuba can only come at the hands of Cubans themselves. For the sake of the Cuban and tfie American peo ple and the other people of the of the world, pray God it shall not long be delayed. It can not be that the American

ADULTERATION OF

FQ0DPR0DUCTS State Laboratory Has Already Improved Quality of Goods on the Market. S0ME VINEGARS STILL BAD GREAT IMPROVEMENTS NOTICE ABLE IN SPICES AND ALSO OL IVE OILS WORK OF THE STATE CHEMIST IPublishers' PressJ Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 22. As a result of the work of the laboratory of the state board of health, food and drug conditions in Indiana have im proved in the last year. This is espe cially true as to spices, vinegars, cream of tartars and olive oils, ac cording to H. E. Barnard, the chem ist of the laboratory. "Last year about every other sam hple of cloves and pepper was adulter ated, usually with ground cocoanut shells," said Mr. Barnard. "Recent analyses show that two samples out of fifty were bad, a considerable im provement. The wholesalers are protected in their desire to push the sale of good goods," continued Mr. Barnard "Now, when cheaper grades of spices are asked for they can tell the retail er that he buys them at his own risk, as the state law prohibits adulterants, and the state laboratory is enforcing the state law. The result is, unusually, that the retailers buy the genuine spices." Mr. Barnard said that there were still a great many vinegars that were not what they should be, though the per cent of adulteration was not more than half what It was a year ago, when it was 92 per cent. "Really, there is only one firm that persists in selling vinegar that is improperly labeled," he continued, "and that is a wholesale nrm outsiae me siaie. The attitude of the Indiana wholesalers is excellent, many of them refusing to buy vinegars until they have been tested in our laboratory. "The samples of olive oil that were bought at the groceries recently were all good. These were all - bottle goods and their excellence is due, in part, I think to the establishment or the port laboratories, which see to it that all of the imported olive oils are pure. The druggists' samples of mixed oils were not so good, four out of the last batch: of five examined contained cotton seed, peanut or lard oils." blood was shed in vain in Cuba. We did not go to war for liberty that liberty should be mocked. The great conflict meant something more than a mere fight. It meant something more than driving Spaniards from the Western Hemisphere. It meant liberty, and if liberty be impossible under the Cuban flag it is certain under the American flag. Question to Patriots "I ask the American business man whose markets must continually increase; the farmer who seeks an outlet for his products; I ask all American producers this question: Is it best for you that Cuba continue the battle ground of foolish factions,' or that American law and order should regulate their Industry? I ask every American lover of liberty this question: Do you feel that the cause of human freedom would best advance under the Cuban flag '.or under that banner which, wherever it has been lifted meant practical progress and real freedom? "Liberty that is the method of human progress. It Is toward liberty that all mankind Is struggling. And the nation, which, under God is leading the world to liberty is this American Republic. It is for the realization of liberty and its fruits that all our laws are passed for the preservation and spread of liberty that all our wars are fought. No American soldier ever died but gave his life for liberty and civilization. It is as the agent and instrument of the people's progressive liberty that the Republican party has written its records of usefulness and glory; and it is as the worker for an even purer, stronger liberty that the Republican party appeals to the American people today. And it is for equal Justice, for the righting of abuses, for the building up of this civilization of free men, for the ongoing of righteousness in this noblest of nations that we ask you to select congressmen and senators whose duty it will be to rally as one man about that personification of this new day that has dawned for the Republic," the President of the Amercan people Theodore Roosevelt." Washington, St. 22. Advice; were received at the state department from Secretary Root at Panama stating that he and Mr. Barrett would sail from Colon to Cartagena on the Columbia. It is expected the secretary will remain at Cartagena two days. Elaborate preparations have been made there for the reception and entertainment of Mr. Root. Root's conference with President Reyes is expected to produce important results in the affairs of Colombia and Panama. Coal For Navy. Washington, Sept. 22. Naval officers do not intend to take any chances in the present emergency In the matter of coaling supply for ships that may be needed for Cuban service. Therefore they are looking around for a barge with a capacity of not less than 2,500 tons, which it is proposed to have moored at some convenient place near Newport News. It is the intention to keep the barge filled to Its utmost capacity at all times.

THE HEW PRIMARY RULES

PLAN GENERALLY LIKED Where Delegate Conventions -are Held the Delegates Are to Be Selected by the Direct Vote of the PartyApplies to Most all Counties. The republican state committee has recently made some additions to the rules governing party nominations which are calculated to place the con trol of the political organization more completely In the hands of the repub lican rank and file. It is provided that in counties whose largest town or city has a pop ulation of more than five thousand in habitants, delegates in the several townships, wards and precincts are to be chosen In primaries at which all republicans are to'have opportunity to vote and have that vote counted in accordance with the rules of the state committee governing direct primaries. The selection "of election officials is left with local members of the party organization chosen by the republi cans of the several precincts, townships and counties. A process of appeal, in all matters affecting the rights of candidates, to the district and state organization is provided for. One of the cardinal tenets of republicanism is the right of all republicans to full and free participation in the direction of the affairs of their party and this principle has been strengthened by the action of the state commitee in adopting the rules now in force providing an equal opportunity to every member of the party for the expression of his views in the nomination of party candidates.

IF HE Winchester, Ind., Sept. 22. The disciples of Bacchus in Randolph county and vicinity will no doubt be cheered by the statement that not all the privileges of individual liberty are to be taken from them, for, according to a decision In 'Squire Bales's court a man may still indulge in his favorite beverage to the limit provided he stays in his own yard. "Dutch" Clevenger was the offender in the case. He was charged with intoxication, but when it was shown that he had. been on his own premises at the time of his revelry the court dismissed the case. Clevenger, who resides southwest of here is the village of Unionport, has been up before on the same charge, and his unexpected joy this morning was shortlived. For no sooner had the one case been dismissed until .another was filed against him for the same offense. This time it was shown that the defendant had stayed along the highway in his state of exaltation and he was fined a sum amounting in all to about $12. Ora Green, residing in the same community, has jbeea V000 or intoxication and carrying concealed weapons. He Is said to have flashed a slug shot heavily loaded with lead. The information leading to the arrest of the two men is said to have been given by a woman residing in the neighborhood, and the only questiona ble point now is to find where they procured the intoxicants as Unionport and the territory for miles around is excessively dry." MORE filEftACING Is Growing Situation In Morocco. Foreigners -In' Danger. Tangier, Sept, 22. The situation in Morocco is becoming daily more menacing. European properties at Talfiit, Riff, Nogacior, Casa Blanca and even Tangier, are threatened. Natives are equipping and organizing a3 if for a holy war and the sultan's authority is nonexistent. The sheiks in the Marai.esh region have demanded complete autonomy. Up to now the sultan has succeeded in preventing the big feudatories from uniting; but their power is growing daily They intercept taxes, raise levies and expel officials sent by the sultan. Raisuii has neariy recovered from his recent illness. Captured Native Princes. 1 The Haue, Sept. 22. An official dispatch received here from Bali (an island of the Malay archipelago immediately east of Java), where for some time past the Dutch have been conducting operations against recalcitrant chiefs, reports the capture at Pasar, capital of the vassal state of Badong, of two princes, their women and children. The followers of the princes, numbering in all 400 men, were killed in attempting a desperate sortie. The Dutch losses were fouf Europenas killed and three wounded. Illness of Pope's Physician. Rome, Sept. 22. A consultation has been held over Dr. Lapponi, physician to the pope, who is ill with cancer of. the stomach. The physician favored an operation, bat this was opposed by Dr. Mazzoni and other surgeons, who considered the patient too weak for the ordeal, in spite of the fact that his heart is stronc-

eOGUS MONEY IS WORRYING SHAW

Secretary of Treasury Don't Like the Methods of Making "Elastic Currency." COUNTERFEITERS ACTIVE SECRET SERVICE MEN IN LARGE NUMBERS ENGAGED IN FER RETING OUT THE MEN DOING THE WORK. cf Publishers' PressJ Washington, Sept, 22. While fin anciers and politicians continue to discuss the need of a more elastic currency, to the bewilderment of the average citizen, Secretary Shaw finds it all too elastic at present, in one sense, at-leasf, since not in, years' has it been stretched so iar irom 11s ie gal limits by certain gentlemen who find making money the easiest way to make money even at the risk of landing in jail. Secretary Shaw, indeed, together with the secret service men, finds that counterfeits" and counterfeiters occupy a large portion of his time, a fact which is all the more regretta ble because a great part of surplus coin is so poorly made as to make its detection fairly easy were it only given a little scrutiny by the average citizen whom it takes in. Of course it is well to remember certain sim pie data. A large amount of paper money, for instance, could never cir culate at all if people in general would remember one simple fact. The government always prints its bills in sheets of four. Each of the four bills Is given a letter, A. B. C. or D. and a number. If it be remem bered that bills having the letter A should, if genuine, leave a remainder of 1 when their number is divided by 4, all B bills a remainder of 2, C bills a remainder of 3, and D bills no re mainder at all, many counterfeit notes now passing as genuine could be im mediately be detected through this simple test. Of course, not all suprious bills fail in this requirement, but while some are extremely difficult to detect, a great number are absurdly easy. When it comes to coins there are, according to the Treasury depart ment, a few well-made counterfeits and many poor ones. Among others may be mentioned the coins which, while not strictly counterfeit, are not worth their face value.In this class, made up of gold coins, come those in which counterfeiters have bored small holes in the edge, extracted some of the gold filling, filled up the hole with lead and covered it with gold so cleverly as to almost defy detection. From this, attempts to defraud Uncle Sam range all the way down to the gold-plated gold pieces Like the heathen Chinese the coun terfeiter has ways that are dark, the ferreting out of which . keeps a good many of Uncle Sam's servants busy, HE SANK WITH HIS SHIP CAPTAIN SHOWED NERVE The Foundering of the Nellie Floyd Off Coast of North Carolina Six of the Crew Picked Up After Drift ing on Raft. Boston, Sept. 22. A story of the foundering of the 3-masted schooner Nellie Floyd of New York and of the loss of her captain was told by six survivors of the wreck, who were brought into this port by the steamer Nacooche of the Savannah line. Captain Mathewson of Provincetown, Mass., who was in command of the Nellie Floyd when she foundered off the coast of North Carolina, stood by his vessel and shouted "Good by" to the six members of the crew who were on a raft hastily made from the schooner's hatches. After drifting for 24 hours, clinging to the raft, waist deep in water and with no food, tLa six men were picked up by the Nacooche. To C.'et2 New Province. Rome, Sept 22.
