WASHINGTON. Feb. 23.-Mr. Bate Of Ten
nessee opposed the passage Of the Pure
Food I'LL in long speech in the Senate
to-day. He said he did not suppose there
was any Senator who would object to the
passage OF proper laws to punish the mis-
branding OF food and drugs. but he desired to
have that brought about through the proper
channels-by tho States. and not by Congress-
Home rule was best in all such matters. He
believed the whole agitation which had re-
suited In this bill had grown out Of the rivalry
OF two commercial firms. one OF whom had
utilized cottonseed oil in the preparation OF
compound lard. He estimated the cost OF the
inspection provided for by the bill at from nine
to eighteen millions year. Mr.. Paddock here
sets had a similar law on its statute books.
whch was letter enforced thnn any other law.
