FOOD ADULTERATIONS

In the Senate on the 25th inst Mr.. Nc
Cumber OF North Dakota spoke in support
OF the bill to protect the public against
adulteration of food products. The bill
provides for the organization. in the bu-
reau Of chemistry Of the department Of
agriculture. of food and drug division,
charged with the inspection of food and
drug products and providing for the analy-
sis and eXamination-chemica micro

which are subjects of foreign or Interstate
commerce. The bill also prohibits the in.
PRODUCTION into any State or Territory or
the District of Columbia from any other
State, Territory, or foreign country, adul-
tered or misbranded foods or drugs, and
provides for the punishment OF persons
who disobey the provisions of the act Mr..

THE COLLEGE GIRL JOKE.

'Ts the joke of the humorous pages.
Year in and year out, without change
A college girls feebly engages
In hopeless ARRAY with range;
She's pictured dsmayed by the riddle
OF busting and sweeping a room.
Undone at the sight of a griddle,
And utterly loored by broom.
If girl has the brains and the ardour
To eXcavate roots In the Greek,
viii she quail at the roots OF the Harder,
At the commonplace carrot and leek?
Is a mind coming forth from the campus
Well versed In the knowledge of 'pi,"
To be daunted by pastry and hampers?
It's pardon me)ail in your eye,
A girl may be up IT. her Homer
Whose cooking is simply immense;
Believe me, a college diploma
Has never destroyed common sense
And the picture that's true Will endow her
Win strength that will brook no defeat
Triumphant in wisdom and power
cooking stove prone at her feet,

Morrow Declares Both Proctor and
MCCULLOUGH "Safc,"

The agitation of some Of the newspaper
advocates of the repeal of Vermont's pro-
hibitory law over what they are pleased
to regard as Gen. McCullough's uncer-
tainty regarding support of that law is
ludicrous Gen. Mccullough stated in his
letter that he expected the prohibtory law
to stand because 1t had the support of
ajority of the people, but some Of these
license papers think that as a candidate
for governor he should have gone further
in support of the law.
The Burlington News, one of the license
Proctor organs in question, evidently for
got what it said few days before Gen.
McCullough's letter appeared concerning
the relation of the governor to liquor legi-
laton. On Tuesday April in discussing
Mr.. Clements candidacy the News said:
As one of the few newspapers that early
came into the local option field the News
objects TO a local option candidate at the
present time. Mr.. Clements action pre-
| cipitates the issue at an unfortunate time
| His candidacy will divide the forces Of
| local option into factions. At this time
many OF the friends of local option are al
ready committed to one or other of the
Mr.. Clement will therefore get only a small
part Of the real local option vote and thus
| by the smallness of his following give the
| issue IA black eye.
The opinion of the News is that Mr.. Gle
ments candidacy Will not seriously affect
the issue between the other two cand-
dates; but It will seriously damage the
cause of local option
On April 18th the News returned to the
subject and concluded its editorial as fol-
lows:
1t is, however, highly improbable that the
prohibitory law will cut much nf a figure
in the gubernatoial contest. Sides were
| already taken on the merits Of the two
candidates before the coming in of Mr.
| Clement and II Is impossible that he can
now greatly change the Issue
| If 1t were important TO the cause of local
option at this time that governor should
be elected on that issue. the case would
present different aspect. But 1t is not
governor would he of no service to the
cause without Legislature. The friends
of local option therefore had better reserve
their work for the Legislature rather thar
to frttor away their energies on the gov
ernorship. The governor does not make
the laws.

ABUSE OF NEWSPAPER COURTESY
(From the Rutland Herald)

The Ludlow Tribune has this to say
about several newspaper men: Those
newspapers-and we have in mind the st.
Adams Messenger and the Burlington
News--which took advantage of the cour-
tesy of the Rutland Herald in sending out
advance proofs Of F. w. Clements letter
with the request that the publication be
not earlier than Thursday, and puhlishe d
the principal facts Tuesday evening, we're
guilty of a gross breach of newspaper
etiquette. On the other hand, there was
no sufficient reason why the Herald should
take the trouble to send out these proofs
if the announcement was to be kept such
a profound secret. Any newspaper worth
calling a newspaper could insert as brief
a letter as Mr.. Clements and comment
thereon in a few hours notice. But news
pay or courtesy Cor any other kind should
never be abused" We sent out the notices
early In the week to accommodate the
weekly newspapers of the State, which are
the pr oper medium for the forwarding Of
such Information.

SENATOR DILLINGHAM; PROGRESS
(From the Bradford Opinion)

Senator Dillingham;, young in experience
AS a United States senator, has already
won high and deserved recognition. He has
made his ability felt in the Senate and has
just been slngularly honored by being APP
pointed one of the three members of the
conference committee on the Chinese exclu-
sion bill asked for by the House. The other
members of the committee. representing
the Senate, are Senator Plat of Connect
cut and Senator Clay Of Georgia. Senator
Dillingham; was widely complmented for
his success IN fighting the drastic exclusion
bill. Mr.. Dillingham; was alone in tho com
mittce on immigration In resisting the Sc
we're provisions and fought there as we'll as
in the Senate where he made powerful
speech voicing his sentiments. The
bill as 1t becomes a law will conform
very nearly to the junior Vermont sena-
tors views.

Tough Speaks Of the Latter's Ability
and Work.

TO the Editor of The Free Press:
have noted the article in a recent issue
of the st. Adams Messenger, attacking the
record of General Mccullough in the Sem
ate of 1898. l have not examined the Sen
ate journal to verify or dsprove the allie
cations in the Messenger article; but my
recolections impress me that General Nc
Cullough was an exceptionally punctual
member, giving careful attention to all
matters Of public concern presented for
consideration, taking broad views and with
excellent taste expressing them. rarely alb
sent and always voting when present. He
was easily approached, always a genial,
courty gentleman. one who will adoln

Her appetite is duller,

Oleomargarine Bill Passes Both
Houses.

The farmers of Vermont will be gratified
to learn that the ELECTROMAGNETIC bill
has passed both branches of Congress,
and that inasmuch as President Roosevelt
is certain to sign the measure. the dairy
interests Of the country are likely to soon
enjoy that protection from the competition
of spurious butter so long and persistently
sought. The first assurance of this crafty
ing result received in this office was en-
bodied in the following despatch from
United States Senator Redfield Proctor:
Washington, April q, 1902.
Free Press, Burlington, VT:
Oleoma rgarine bill passed both houses;
much improved by Senate amendments
covering adWterated butter; good strong
measure as finally passed.
REDFIDI.D PROCTOR.
This victory has been won after one Of
the most persistent and prolonged con-
tests in Congress. and in the face of the
combined opposition Of the great cattle in
terests of the West and the cotton seed
oil interests Of the South. allied with var
ious other interests in different parts Of
the country. The lobby against the meas
ure TO project our garry interests WAS
powerful as well as resourceful. and it has
required hard as well as careful work on
the part of the champions of the measure
to secure its passage.
Senator Proctor had charge Of the anti
oleomarg arine bill in tho Senate and the
speeches made in support of the measure
by him and by Senator Dillingham; were
effective as well as able. Congressman
Haskins took an active part in support
of the measure In the House. in addition
to helping to formulate some of Its prom
inent features. and as indicated by Senator
Proctors message to the FREE PRESS,
valuable amendments were made to the
measure in the Senate, counteracting some
of the changes made In the bill after it was
reported from the committee of which Mr..
Haskins was a member. 1t Is evident
therefore that Vermont has reason to feel
proud OF the part taken by the members
OF her delegation in the passage of this
measure for the protection of the dairy in
terests of the United States.
