Wayne County's Gold Mine Back in 1849 there were a number of citizens of Wayne county who left here for California. Drawn to the new country by the irresistible lure of gold discoveries, these men made their way there by the overland route at the risk of their lives from Indians and outlaws ; or they went by way of the Isthmus of Panama, still at the risk of their lives from tropical fevers and diseases. Of course, the greater number stayed at home and continued the work of clearing the agricultural land of the county from its virgin forest. Their descendants and successors this year will make more from their agricultural products in

this county than those early gold seekers produced in entire California that first year. Cali

fornia's gold production reached its zenith in a few years and has steadily declined ever since. Wayne county's agricultural production increases steadily from year to year. Its farms are gold mines in the value of their products. The resume offcrop conditions in Wayne county published in the Palladium yesterday, showed that larger crops have been raised this year with only trifling exceptions than ever before. A large yield of wheat, a doubled hay crop and the promise of the biggest corn crop on record for the county, are prosperity indicators for us that should encourage business optimism. The corn situation here is remarkable in consideration of the widespread damage to that important crop in practically every corn state in the Union. Naturally it makes for higher corn prices. The other fellows' loss is Wayne county's farmers' gain. t If Wayne county farmers are wise they will make still more from the present situation. By feeding the crops they have raised this year to stock on their own lands they will also make the additional profit due the stock feeder. And they will tiien have practically 80 per cent of the fertility taken from their fields this year in crops, to return to them.

Zimmerman's Latest "Bull" Citizens of Richmond are being benefited by the advent of the Progressive party in local mu

nicipal government even in advance of the November election. When Will Robbins announced his candidacy for the nomination for mayor subject to the Progressive primary, he stated plainly and unequivocably that if he became mayor by the will of the voters of Richmond, he would stop the rank discrimination in rates at the local municipal light plant; that under his administration the city would pay for electricity the same as any citizen has to, and that the resulting saving would be shared with consumers in lower rates. Robbins' statement has had its effect. In considering the budget of expenses of the city for next year, Mayor Zimmerman reversed his former and tenaciously held policy of milking the light plant by forcing it to supply lighting to the city free, and included an item of $15,000 to provide for paying for the electricity consumed by the city next year. Now the mayor follows up his change in policy by announcing a reduction in rates to the consumers of the municipal plant. The citizens are not such dumbheads that they can not see the reason for this remarkable change of front on the part of Mayor Zimmerman. They know he is bidding for their support on election day, just a little over two months hence. They know he hopes this announcement of reduced lighting rates will drive from their minds all recollection of the mistakes and downbright inefficiencies of his last administration. They know he hopes it will make them forget that the man who is really responsible for the reduction is Will Robbins and give him (Zimmerman) the credit. And that is just where Mayor Zimmerman will be fooled. Twenty years of Zimmerman is enough to educate thoroughly the electorate of Richmond to all his twists and curves. It is long enough for them to reach the realization that "Doc" has had his day and that a younger man, one more in touch with the progressive spirit of the age, one who will do things because he studies them out and separates wrong from right, waste from saving, instead of waiting until the last minute and having his hand forced, is needed. The Palladium is glad that Mayor Zimmerman changed his policy. The change will not help him. It is announced to take effect on January 1, 1914. And that is the day that Will Robbins will be sworn in as mayor of the City of Richmond. Therefore, Mayor Zimmerman who simply adopted a plank from Will Robbins' platform because he was forced to, has unconsciously contrived after all that the man who should really be accorded the credit for the action will take office in time to receive it.

The national pure food law as it stands today is con- j

verted into a protection for fraud and a bulwark for fakers, quite as often as it ia a safeguard to the public. That fact has lately been dawning on the people who know most about the problems of pure foods and drugs.

The law was passed under the slogan, "Let the label

tell." It has been prostituted to the vicious purpose to "let the label lie," and that is just what the label, in ef

fect if not literally, does altogether too many times. For his second annual tour at the "Guaranteed under the pure food and drugs act, serial head of his own minstrel organization, number 4-11-44," is the familiar formula to be seen on all j Neil O'Brien, who comes here Saturmnnr f nmtrum. nnrt r i.r.rarations.

what is in that container, has found it good and whole- j some, if it is food, or has decided, if it is a medicine, that i it is a useful one for the purpose of curing the troubles j for which its manufacturers recommend it. The average j person assumed that the guarantee label means that the

government has been right on the job, watching the stun concocted, and after making sure that it is good and desirable, has put its label on as a certificate. We may smile at this credulity; but is it unreasonable? Before the pure food law was passed, the meat inspection law was written into the statutes. That law was.

after a fashion, the model on which the food law was j two latest endeavors are sil ken of

framed. The meat inspection law, however, actually does '" cuons ui a uu

make its label mean what it says, and all it seems to say. "IT. s. inspected and passed" on a side of meat in a butcher's cooler means just what it says that piece was inspected in killing and found good, and labeled because the inspecting officer KNEW it was good. If it is possible to insure that meats shall have actual, honest, individual, personal inspection, it should be vastly easier and less expensive to do as much for preparations of food and medicine. These latter are prepared by processes and formulas. The processes and formulas should be known; standards should be established by law, fixing amounts and proportions of certain dangerous substances that must not be. exceeded. In the consideration of the pure food act by congress there was a long discussion of this question of fixing absolute standards, based on the best scientific knowledge, and it was defeated, though congress learned that it was really the one safe, effective way to get the results desired. It was generally understood at the time that before long the provisions for standards would be added to the law, so that It might be made a really effective measure. The law as it stands today does not.require the manufacturer to place the guarantee label on his goods. But most of them do, because it gives their products a standing in the eyes of the public that they do not deserve. The label means simply that the manufacturer guarantees to protect the subsidary dealer against expense of prosecution in case the goods are seized and attacked by the government under the pure food law! That is all. It is no guarantee of quality. It is not a government guarantee, but the manufacturer's guarantee against expense and annoyance in case of prosecution by the government. Dr. Wiley was always Insistent that the law must be strengthened by the establishment of standards. Dr. Alsberg, the new chief of the bureau of chemistry, takes exactly the same position. He has been discussing the subject In addresses and writings, and the community Is beginning to get a better, understanding of the subject, which most certainly It needs. The pure food act is administered under the department of agriculture, and it is known that the responsible

chiefs of that department are determined to make a fight for legislation looking to the establishment of standards. Many states have already passed such legislation, and are decidedly In advance of the federal government In the actual protection of the public health. There Is a good deal of demand for better co-operation between states and the national government in such matters as this, and the states are often criticized for backwardness. They are not to be criticized in this case. They, or, at least, the progressives among them, are In advance of the national government, and the latter has need to get about perfecting this law or it will be a positive drag and clog on real, effective effort for the protection of public health.

HOW TO PREVENT FIRES

From the New York Times. Realizing the importance of the small boy as a pernicious factor in the starting of fires, the central office of the Boy Scouts of America in this city is sending out In its weekly bulletin to the Boy Scouts a list of two dozen "Fire Don'ts" compiled by George D. Porter, director of public safety of Philadelphia. The list is part of an article written for the Boy Scouts in the September issue of their magazine. Boy Life, dealing with instruction of the boys in usefulness in fire emergencies. Here are the simple precautions given to the boys by Mr. Porter: Don't go into closets looking for clothes with a lighted match. Don't kindle fires in stoves with kerosene. Don't put hot aches and coal in wooden barrels or boxes. Don't thaw out frozen pipes with a torch or lamp. Don't allow waste paper, excelsior and rubbish to collect Don't use gasoline for cleaning in a closed room. Don't look for gas leaks with a match or lamp. Don't allow lace curtains near gas brackets. Don't allow oily rags near stoves or about the premises. Don't allow sawdust to he used in cuspidors or on floors. Don't throw waste paper in a fireplace. Don't throw cigarettes or cigars away if lighted. Don't keep matches in paper boxes or lying about carelessly. Don't use snapping parlor matches; taboo them. Don't forget that matches are the beginning of many conflagrations. Don't hang your clothing near open fires or stoves. Don't fill lamps after dark, and never when lighted. Don't allow rubbish in hallways or on fire escapes. Don't burn leaves and dead grass on windy days. Don't forget to have the chimneys of your home cleaned once a year. Don't fail to look twice at everything that looks like fire. Don't leave everything to the landlord; inspect your own building. Don't fail to notify the chief of the fire department of anything yoi may see that Is dangerous and liable to cause fire, remembering that every day is fire prevention day. Don't fail to give the representative of the fire marshal or the firemen themselves every opportunity to make a careful examination of your property. They are trying to help you. Thousands of Boy Scouts throughout the country are learning these instructions, with "a view to winning "Ftremansbip Merit Badges."
