NATIONAL SUPERVISION NEEDED.

EVIDENCE collected by the Illinois legislative
investigation OF impure foods offered for sale in
4" the markets OF that State confirms the impress
sion that the evil is OF proportions too large to be
dealt with by the States separately that its suppress
sion requires the exercise OF the powers OF the Ma
tional Government itself
One OF the witnesses before the legislative com
mittee, Chicago druggist, testified that while most
European countries forbid the sale OF adulterated
goods within their own borders they do not forbid
the manufacture OF such articles for sale elsewhere
AS consequence the United States has been made
the dumping ground for all kinds of vile mixtures
compounded in France or in Germany and sent here
to be sold 1t is clear ofenses of that kind could be
much more effectively checked by the officials of the
nation the custom houses OF ports OF entry than by
State authorities When aduterated goods have once
obtained the country and found their way
to the hands OF the retailers it is very difficult task
indeed to seek them out and prevent their sale
Further evidence given to the committee discloses
the fact that aduteraons largely used to
foods for long periods OF time, or to color them so
as to make them attractive to consumers By
such authorizations articles OF food that in themselves
are wholesome are made dangerous to health 1t is
stated that the chemical used as preservative
is salicylic acid, drug which has extremely per-
nicious effect upon the human system.
A considerable number of States have now adopted
pure food laws OF more or less comprehensive char
acter but even where they enforced it is found
the results altogether satisfactory In this
State, for example, it noted that the vigorous
crusade against impure food in San Francisco. had the
effect OF causing the dealers in such articles to ship
them to cities and towns where less vigilance was ex-
ercised Thus the good effects OF the law were purely
local and were obtained largely at the expense OF
other communities

TESTING THE
LAW OF WEIGHTS
AND MEASURES
Attorney General Ford
Files a Brief.
AN INTERESTING QUESTION
FAMOUS "CINCH" LAW BEFORE
THE COURTS.
Judge Hughes Called Upon to Pass
on the Constitutionality of an
Act of the Legis-
iature.
FAMOUS "CINCH" LAW BEFORE
THE COURTS.

Attorney General Ford filed yesterday
in the Superior Court of Sacramento
County an. interesting document in the
suit brought by J. f. Neely of San Diego
against Secretary of State Charles F.
Curry, entitled Points and authorities of
defendant in support of his demurrer.
The filing of the document recalls an act
passed by the Legislature of 1891, which
authorized the Boards of Supervisors to
appoint an officer in each county to in
spect weights and measures and to charge
merchants for the inspection made, and
which, when brought TO the attention of
the business men by The Call in March
1885, was roundly denounced by them as
being 'cinch" law and by other uncom-
plimentary names.
The statement of facts as set forth in
the defendants brief show that on April
Joseph W. Hughes of the Superior Cou1Tf ITT1f
an affidavit and petition praying for
peremptory writ of mandate commanding
Secretary of State Curry, as ex oficiO
State sealer OF weights and measures, to
examine, certify and seal for the plaintiff
j. F: Neely, as County Sealer of the coun3
ty of San Diego, all balances weights and
measures TO be used by him as standards
pursuant to the provision of the statute
On the Secretary of States refusal TO do
so Nicely hled the petition and affidavit
setting forth the facts mentioned. and Jndpe
Hughes. cited Mr.. Curry to appear before
him and show cause why the peremptorv
writ Of mandate should not issue as
prayed for. 90
The Secretary of State filed a demurrer
to the proceedings, and upon this de-
murrer the brief was filed fhe brief was
prepared by Deputy Attorney General
George A, Sturtivant. Among the points
iI relied ,!2 on in the demurrer are the follow
ing: The act is in violation of the Federal
constitution; II does not describe the sub
}ect not OF the act the plaintiffs petition does
weights and measures before the defend
ar ant at at the time he demanded that they
pe sealed; the petition does not state that
ne rendered to the State Sealer's deputy
the fee of 500. and there are a number Of
other technical points.
me prlef takes up each point separately
ana discusses them minutely, and quoting
them.
The decision of Judge Hughes will be
looked forward to with deep interest by
fhe ffhe merchants of this State, Fortunately
Ior the merchants of this city, there is
not such an official here If one were ap-
pointed pom and he were allowed to collect his
ices under the act his salary would equal
that OF the President of the United States.
The San Francisco call., 1899-05-06

local or State laws the subject. stringent law
ir California preventing the manufacture OF impure
goods in the State would simply open a way for
aduterated goods manufactured elsewhere. A State
has no effective means OF shutting out the products
OF another State, and consequently its food laws no
matter how we'll devised with what vigor enforced
are inadequate to the issue.
For some years past there has been an attempt at
every session OF Congress to procure the enactment
OF national pure food law. The dairymen OF New
ork have fought against the sale OF aduerated
cheese fraudulently marked with the New York
brand, the -four men of Minnesota have endeavored
to obtain legislation preventing the adulteraton OF
flour, and several other States have, through their
delegations in Congress, been equally in the
effort to bring about the Of remedial egs
atlon, but hitherto all efforts have been in vain
The time has come for making a combined effort
to put end to the evil Adulterated food drink and
medicine constitute far serious menaces to pub
c welfare than the trusts about which so much is
beng said If vigorous campaign Of education on
the subject undertaken now it is probable the
desired legislation could be obtained at the next ses
SION OF Congress, and to that end boards of trade
chambers OF commerce and all associations OF manu-
tacturers OF pure foods should unite

shamrock, which in Irish is seamrog tire
foiD is what the botanists call the three
leaved white clover, or wild trefOf, and it
is the national emblem of Ireland. There
is the wood sorrel (oxalis acetosella), as
1t comes into flower about St. Patrick's
day. 1t is probable that the name has
general reference to plants with trifoliate
leaves and that more exact determine

regard to the emblematic thistle of Scot
