But One Thing. It is no many weeks since the press dispatches announced that Mr. Taft's attorney general had found such a grievous state of affairs in the work of Dr. Wiley and that therefore he was to be removed from office or to suffer "condign punishment" at the hands of the President. At the first announcement of this serious charge the people of this country were stupified. They had learned to know Dr. Wlleyas the. father of the pure food legislation and the source of all the enforcement of the law. Then honest papers like the Washington Times and the Philadelphia North American boldly announced that there was a - conspiracy against Dr. Wiley and that it had just missed being successful in removing him . summarily without chance for a hearing. The Department of Agriculture was to dismiss the only man who has stood out against the poisoners of food and filled up the gaps of a brokendown law with his militant character.

These papers asserted that for months preceding this Dr. Wiley had been deprived of power and that It had been assumed by McCabe who played his part in the other Taft administration scandal in trying to validate the fraudulent Cunningham claims and thus turn Alaska over to monopolization. They asserted that his men were not even allowed to consult with the district attorneys to furnish them evidence with which to prosecute the pure food laws. They asserted that this was done with the knowledge and consent of the Department of Agriculture and Secretary Wilson himself. They averred that the Bo-called "scandal" and "irregular proceedings" of Dr. Wiley in hiring Dr. Rusby was his last stand in defense of the American people. The.lawB had been so drawn, said these papers, that the powerful food manufacturers were able to avail themselves of the highest paid experts, while Wiley was forced to use a pittance and only chance had given him the services of this great expert to assist him in his fight against the poisoners. It was charged that under the same evasion of the law if indeed it was an evasion that the Department of Agriculture through McCabe and Wilson had engaged experts paid enormously at the government's expense to set aside the very law that the department was sworn to uphold. Worse than that the expenditures of the Department had been used In fighting Dr. Wiley and in harrying him. We in Indiana were loth to believe that another scandal had been brewing In Mr. Taft's cabinet. Even a McCabe tarred heavily in the Alaska scandal; a Wickersham caught antedating reports; a senile Wilson who deserted Pinchot and Glavis in their time of need we thought not likely to be caught In such a business again. The charge was a grievous one.

The Alaska scandal had involved the stealing of millions and millions of dollars' worth of priceless coal and the handing it over to a monopoly. This was even worse a conspiracy to rob the poor not only of their money by allowing misbranding but to steal away from them health and life itself that a few powerful manufacturers might profit.

But Indiana itself knew that juBt a year ago it was necessary for Commissioner Barnard and Ex-Attorney General Bingham, of Indiana, to force the department to allow Dr. Wiley to testify as to what he knew about benzoate of soda! Think of it! 'This state had to use the power of a federal court to force the supposed guardians of the health of the people to testify! t The guardians Were the administration of the department of agriculture!

And these guardians of the public trust Spent the public funds in the transportation of witnesses into Indiana to fight the people of Indiana Into the submission of using a poison. The Indiana state law was equitable enough the manufacturers of this state, be it said to their credit have raised no serious opposition to the law in fact they have cooperated with the health departments and are now reaping the benefit of their honesty by the faith that the people have in their products.

Then came the announcement that because of his insubordination In thus disobeying the department in testifying as to the truth about benzoate Wiley and the Wiley men were to go!

Deeper and deeper has gone the' scandal until now there is but one thing than can save the President from being a party to this to discharge McCabe, Wilson, and Wickersham the framers of the conspiracy. We hope that he will do this as speedily as possible. Daily newspapers cannot carry the full evidence which is coming out of the congrersional investigation. It is impossible even to carry all the important findings so thick and fast do they come. But the public knows now that all the things that the militant newspapers charged in declaring this administration conspiracy against Dr. Wiley are true.

It needs not the official printed evidence which is appearing and which this newspaper has in its possession to know that. The people know Wilson's confession that the department pledged itself to the manufacturers to protect them against the pure food law. That it hired the Remsen board for this purpose and paid its expenses. That McCabe would not allow Dr. Wiley to fight for the people and at last sought to throw him out of the service with all his faithful men without a hearing. They kno.v that McCabe went so far as to alter the decision of a federal court. They know that the Rusby frame up against Wiley was but a subtrafuge for the Remsen board was organized on the same basis. They know that the opinions of Attorney General Wickersham's own assistant was suppressed lest the country learn of the illegality of the unofficial Remsen board hired to defend the manufacturers from prosecution . These are but the bare outlines. The President can do but one thing the thing that he did not do in the other scandal of his administration.

Heart to Heart Talks: By EDWIN A. NYE. Copyrfsht. J908. by Edwin A. Nye

Past, Present, Future By Oraf. Draw '

SNOBBERY Iff SHORT SKIRTS. A Chicago woman who sent her daughter to a private boarding school tells this story: I asked my daughter after a few days how she liked the school and how she got along. My girl said: 'Well, mother, it's a very nice school, but the little girls are the strangest creatures. The first thing tbey said was. "How many carriages have you?" And I said, "Why, we haven't any carriage." "'And what do you think, mother, before 1 could finish what I was saying a little girl turned up her nose and walked away from me snd said to another little girl : "'"What's she doing herel Why. they haven't even a carriage' " 'And I said.' went on the child ex citedly. 'we hadn't any carriage, but we had an automobile. "Ob. have you? Well, It's all right, then, but we have three, carriages and an automobile and a runabout and seven servants, and my mother has thirty-five pairs of shoes." "'Mother,' continued the child, 'think of any one having thirty-five pairs of shoes.' "Another girl remarked to my daughter: I have a new pair of shoes. Tbey cost $12. What did yours cost? And she fibbed when she said, 'Oh, eight or ten dollars.' "Aa a matter of fact my girl's shoes cost $3. and I spent an hour trying to convince my child of the insignificance of wealth, compared with other things." Well! Somehow one feels as if one might think better of that mother bad she promptly removed ber child from that sort of atmosphere. Vulgar pretense of superiority because of the possession of the trappings of wealth is an insufferable,

thing. What may be expected from a girl who from infancy has been encouraged to indulge such a silly vanity? A child whose mind and heart are filled with an undue regard for dress and ostentation will in her maturity grow into little more than a flaunting butterfly of fashion. And it need not provoke your special wonder that in this sort of "high life" there should be satiety and heartburnings and closet skeletons. We need another Thackeray in a new "Vanity Fair," who will puncture the snobbery of some modern boarding school.

A CUrtlQUS WATCH. Mads by a Clever Workman en a Challenge From Royalty. Some years ago the czar, bearing of the marvelous inventive genius of a Polish mechanic, determined to put him to the test and accordingly caused to be forwarded to him a few copper nails, some wood clippings, a piece of broken glass, an old cracked china Cup, some wire and a few cribbage board pegs. The box was accompanied by the request that the Pole should transform these unpromising articles into a timepiece. It was a challenge and one that few watchmakers would have cared to take up. But it would have taken a harder task than this to daunt the Pole. He set to work on tha unpromising materials and out of them fashioned a watch that was quickly dispatched to the czar. Just eight hours after be began bis work of transformation the watch started on its journey to St. Petersburg, where It arrived safely, to the great delight of the czar. It was a most unique timepiece. Its case being made of china and its works composed of the material that had accompanied the old cup. let it kept good time and had to be wound up only once In three or four days. So pleased was the czar that be sent for the Pole and conferred upon bim several distinctions, besides granting bim a pension. New York Press.

Once there was a sparkling streamlet Ran to and fro Between the hills and - Jhrough the valleys, " . : Long time ago.

Then some men who had some money

Ready to invest Caught the streamlet near its sources In the golden west. -.- ..-.. When they caught the rippling Btreamlet " ' People cried out, Oh They can never make the water Run up hill, you know." But the men who had the money Started out one day And soon they had a company Ready for the play. The city gave a franchise On streets, above below, V"" And also made a contract For twenty years or so. Then in the ground some pipes they laid And hitched up to a pump Which forced the water through the town From the court house to the dump. Since the city gave a franchise Many years ago Many things have changed about us Which then we did not know. From a big town to a city

We have watched "us" grow, Shops and churches, schools and houses Row after row. We have laid out streets and alleys, Where the chickens used to crow And where once were many cornfields We have helped the water flow. The contract with the water works Made twenty years ago, Will soon expire, but those in charg Have watched their fortunes grow. But none too large it seems to them Their bank account does show And they desire to change the rates Which they think are too low. Many men have done some thinking And their figures show Things are wrong in many places Things that ought to go. ' So you see we need to study Rates and profits, sure but slow So that when we let the contract Every clause like light will glow. The men .who own the water works Want to see the water flow. They are working for the dollar Let us do the same "By Joe." They must have the people with them Or their income melts like snow. They will "stop and look and listen" When the people say "Oh no." Now is the time to fix the matter And secure a rate that's low Back your talk with lots of action Or don't say "I told you so.' Let the company's books be opened If they really want to show They are acting for the welfare Of the people high and low. If the records when examined Show the present rate too low People then of every station Will be satisfied you know. Justice then, is all that's wanted And the water yet will run Plentiful to all consumers At prices fair to everyone.

"Address on A advertising" By William C. Freeman, "The Exponent ot Clean Advertising" given at the Convention of the Associated Advertisers Clubs of America, in Boston, Mass., last week. (NEWSPAPERDOM) (Continued from Friday) "Newspaper advertising has improved greatly but there is still room for greater improvement. Let me briefly outline how it may be improved. "First Newspapers make the mistake of not always employing the highest grade of representatives, men of ability, men of resourcefulness, men of character, men of tact, men of persistency, men who are paid well enough to always look prosperous. Have you ever noticed the type of men who represent the great weekly and monthly publications? Don't they look their part? Dont they look prosperous? They are all well paid. It always ppays to pay a man well. You then get the maximum of service. "Second Newspaper publishers do not aU ways impress their representatives with the fact that their chief function should be to go out and develop advertising for all newspapers, not always for their own particular publications. The chief trouble lies in the fact that newspaper representatives talk their own publications first and try to point out to advertisers the mistakes they make by using the other fellows' publications. Have you ever heard of representatives of the great weekly and monthly publications talking any thing to a prospective advertiser except the great value of general publicity? Don't they always interest a prospective advertiser in a general campaign first an3 in their own publications second ? Do not newspaper representatives who do not talk general newspaper advertising in its broad sense hinder the development of newspaper advertising, particularly among the manufacturers of the country? Is not this one of the reasons, if not the great reason, why newspapers have not shared more liberally in the general publicity of the manufacturers of the country? "Should not newspaper publishers take into account the value of concerted effort on the part of their representatives to develop newspapper advertising? Should they not abandon mere selfish effort for a big general effort, which in the end will result in the good of all? - "Third There are too many newspapers that are careless about accepting a great many advertisements that are offered them. They do not inquire into the stability or character of the business that is advertised. Should not the advertising columns of all newspapers be kept clean?' Should they not be edited with the same skill as the news columns of a clean newspaper? Should they not always contain reliable announcements from reliable business concerns? What has made the great weekly and monthly publications so powerful and so prosperous? Have they not standardized in the matter of integrity their advertising pages? Have they not created confidence in the minds of their readers that only trustworthy advertisements are accepted and printed by them? Does not this fact impel the great volume of general advertising they print? Will the newspapers, as a whole, ever get their share of this volume of business unless they standardize their own advertising columns? Will they ever get it until they make it known to their readers that they print only trustworthy advertisements? A great many newspapers throughout the country are taking this stand, but .more of them must take it before all newspapers will shart with the great weekly and monthly publications the great volume of general publicity which has made them so prosperous.
