by the IacJs.
The facts set forth in the report of
the dairy and food commissioner of
1899 show that the activity of the Of
ficers and agents of the department
was not due to the sensational publi-
cations OF yellow journals or their ad-
herents. In the year 1899, under the
disadvantages of the change from the
old prohibitory law to the new license
law. 1.169 samples were taken by
agents of the department; 341 OF these
were found to be pure, 6S5 adulterated
and 143 were tested by the agents and
found to be pure. and so were not sent
to the chemists.
Two hundred and fifty-six prosecu-
tions were brought against parties for
illegally selling oleomargarine. 81 for
selling impure food. 43 for adulterated
vinegar. 9 for not complying with the
cheese law. 12 for illegally selling
renovated butter and 10 for selling i'm
pure milk.
One hundred oleomargarine cases
were brought to successful termina-
ton. penalties were imposed in many
cases. and some were discharged upon
payment Of costs, and others were dis
missed, and In some cases the bills
were ignored by grand juries; rs cases
were dismissed for the above reasons.
and S6 cases were pending Jan. l. 1900.
WORK SINCE JAN. /.
From Jan. /. 1900. to Oct. 10. 1900. the
department has brought over 935 suits
and prosecutions. and taken over 5000
samples. The charge. therefore. that
the department Is doing nothing to
suppress the sale Of oleomargarine in
this state Is thus shown to be utterly
and maliciously false.
The fact OF the great number of sam
Piles shown to have been taken and
suits brought Is evidence conclusive of
the competence OF the agents of the
department. and yet In the face OF
these facts yellow journals continue to
assail the work OF the dairy and food
division and belittle that which has
been accomplished. and continue TO
cast reflections upon the competency
of the agents.

ANOTHER LIE NAILED.

Some yellow journals charge that the
present law was prepared by the de-
partment Of agriculture and was pur-
posely left defective in order to pro-
tect oleomargarine dealers against pun
ishment This is wholly and abso-
lutely false.
The license law of May 5, 1899, was
prepared by the Dairymen's union and
the State Grange Of Pennsylvania at
their meeting held in Williamsport in
December, 1898. 1t was brought to
Harrisburg by the secretary of the
Dairymen's union at the opening Of
the legislative session in January. 1899,
and was submitted to the legislature
by the Dairymen's union and the legis-
lative committee of the State Grange,
and its passage was urged by these
bodies until 1t became a law. The de-
partment Of agriculture had nothing
to do with Its preparation or subse-
Quent passage by the legislature. What
evervirtues or defects may attach to the
new law are due to the organizations
that prepared it and urged its passage.
The charge, therefore, made by the yell
low journels that the law was prepared
by the department of agriculture and
passed by it's influence for the pur-
pose of protecting dealers is without
foundation and utterly false:
Immediately after the passage of the
present law agents of the department
were then instructed to collect samples
and to submit them to the chemists for
analysis.
TEST OF THE COLOR CLAUSE.
On the first of August. 1899, sam
pie OF colored oleomargarine was taken
from ]. X. Van Dyke, OF Philadelphia,
who represented the Oakdale Manu-
featuring company. of Providence, r.
!. The defendant was fined 500 and
costs. An appeal was taken from this
decision to the court Of common pleas.
but was not substantiated by Judge
Arnold. An appeal was then taken by
the defendant to the superior court Of
pennsylvania and the decision of the
lower court was affirmed by the SUI
perior court In an opinion filed April
80. 1900.
This was a case to test the con-
stitutionality of the color clause In its
relation to the interstate commerce
law.
The day after the decision was rem
dered letter was issued by the secre-
tary OF agriculture. directed to the
dairy and food commissioner. and a
copy OF the same sent to every agent
OF the department. In which the de-
cision OF the court wan noted after ex-
pllining the provisions Of the act and
calling for the immediate gathering OF
additional evidence.
THE NnEAp nDuoAnE
From that day there has been no let
up by the department on the oleomar-
garine traffic In this state. Thousands
Of samples have heen taken and an
alyssd. and every dealer whose goods
were shown TO be aduiterated was
prosecuted criminaliy. there being al
most 700 prosecutions. every one ON
criminal charge. The allegation.
therefore. that the department has
been inactive IL utterly false. ~ shown
