THE DECEPTION OF SUBSTITUTION.

The substitution of limitations, home
made and otherwise, for proprietary
medicines and many other articles
which have come into general use
through advertising and have achieved
reputation and popularity on their mer-
it's, has become so general that not only
the proprietors, but others whose atten-
ton has been called to the wrong, have
joined in a protest against it. Many of
these articles for which substitution is
made are standard and have found a
large sale because they are what they
are proclaimed to be-. To establish this
reputation has cost large sums of money.
consequently the right to sell such an
article is the property of the proprietor.
This is the article the purchaser wants.
He goes to the grocery, drug or other
store, and is given IN imitation, not an
absolute counterfeit. as the law would
prevent that, but it is SO nearly like that
which the purchaser has called for and
wants that he does not discover the diff
ference in the appearance. The maker
of the imitation, who is putting upon
the market an article which has never
cost him a dollar to introduce and which
he is selling under the advertisements
of the real proprietor, can sell this
article, usually made of inferior ingredi-
ents and so different from the genuine
that he cannot be punished for selling
to the retailers at a much lower price,
thus enabling the latter to make a larger
profit. That is one method. The other
is that of the druggist. When a customer
calls for a well-known article, the dealer
says that he has it, but he also keeps
a homemade article which is essentially
the same. but which he can sell at a less
price, or he says that he has not such an

Z SECTION 40 of the city charter requires
the Mayor to call together the heads of
departments Eat least once a month";
and to require them to make monthly
reports, (which it shall be their duty to
prepare and submit in writing" This
section of the charter has been ignored.
The Mayor has not called any meeting
of the heads of departments nor re-
CURED any of them to make monthly
reports.
Another provision of the charter re-
quires the Mayor to see that rules and
regulations are adopted by all the heads
of departments, providing fora common
and systematic method of ascertaining
the comparative fitness of applicants for
office, position and promotion, and of
selecting. appointing and promoting
those found to be best fitted, without
regard to political opinion or services"
There has been no pretense of comply
ing with this provision. 1t has been
simply ignored.
In the next written address which
Mayor Sullivan reads, eulogizing his own
administration, the people would like
to hear by what authority he has ignored
these provisions of the charter.

THE laws of this State against bribery
In elections are very stringent and Sc
we're. They are intended, as far as pos
sible, to do away with that kind of po-'
litical corruption. Their object is to
prohibit the use of money in elections.
Constituting the various laws together
there is hardly any use of money, for
merly deemed legitimate, which is not
now prohibited. Every form of bribery,
direct and indirect, is made a penal of
Tense. The bribing of persons to vote
or not to vote is prohibited. The hiring
of vehicles and drivers on election day
is prohibited. Under the new law even
the ballots are printed and distributed
at public expense, and no candidate or
committee has anything to do with it.
Under these circumstance it is evil
dent that the large campaign fund which
the Democrats are raising for use in the
city campaign is intended to be used in
violation of the law. They are levying
an assessment of 20 per cent. on the SAL
aries of all city officials, from Mayor
Sullivan and Controller Woollen down.
This will yield over $4,000 to be dis
bursed according to the most approved
Democratic methods. The handling of
this corruption fund ought to and some
body in the penitentiary, and will if the
law is enforced.

article, because he is able to make M
at a lower price which is just as good or
better. 1t may be said that this is all
right; still, it is using the earned and
costly reputation of another to sell a
different article and to pocket a profit
which rightly belongs to another. All
things are not fair in trade; it is the
right of a man who asks for an article to
have it and not be put off with some-
thing else, either with or without his
knowledge. upon a false representa-
ton; it is the right of a man who
has invented an article and paid large
amounts of money to get it before the
public, to have it and no other sold when

prietary right is the same as money in
