Pure Food Laws Enforced.

The St Louis papers report sever
al more grocers brought to trial up
on the charge of selling baking
powder con taining alum in violation
of the law. The parties were all
convicted and each fined 800.
Several baking powders which
have been found by analysis to con-
tain alum have been offered in this
market. They are called BENGAL,
I. c., CROWN, sCALUMET,
and CHAPMAN'S.
In many places similar powders,
under these or other names, are
offered for sale at from ten to TWEEN
ty cents a pound.
Good baking powder is one of the
most useful things in the kitchen.
There are several good powders on
the market; housekeepers will help
the authorities in their efforts to
promote the sale of pure and health
full food, if when buying baking
powder they will insist upon having
some one Of the we'll known brands
of cream of tartar powders, which
are pure and healthful beyond a
doubt.

LA TOILETTE WILL WIN

Governorship contest through
the state is practically settled
isn't it about time that the re-
publicans in the two factions
ceased their abuse for one an
other? All this talk about the
stalwarts being "bolters doesn t
set very well, and will not tend
to promote the party interests
in the state. If a man is a bolter
simply because he does not up
hold one of the servants of the
people in Office, then the stall
warts might come under that
head. But we donot understand
that from the fact that an ele-
ment of party refuses to dance
under the lash in the hands of
one of it's officials that they are
boilers Of the party. There are
thousands of people throughout
Wisconsin today who honestly
believe that it would be bettento
have change in the Governor
ship. AS a rule these people are
as sincere in that belief as are
those who are so enthusiastic
for Mr.. LaFollette. Now that
we have practically settled the
contest as to who the candidate
will be isn't it better to try and
smoothe over our differences
somewhat, instead of trying to
aggravate them. Now that the
fight is over it is easy to see how
the stalwarts lost. In the first
place most of the people still be-
lieve in Governor LaF'Ollette, and
for that reason he is, and ought
to be the victor. On the other
hand the stalwart movement, in
stituted by lot of well meaning
men who had the genuine in
terests of the republican party
at heart, has been misunder-
stood, owing to the prominent
appearance in their cause of a
class of men whose principal in
terest in politics is commercial
ism. This element grew so
strong in the faction that the
people got the belief that the
stalwarts were opposed to tax
alton measures. And to add to
this feeling was the opposition of
commercial stalwarts to the can
didacy of Senator Whitehead.
This opposition was all because
they knew that Whitehead could
not be controlled by them, and
they wanted a man that would
obey their wishes. They had
opposed LaFollette largely on
this issue and had sought shelf
er in the stalwart camp. In the
latter they found the same kind
of an objectional candidate, and
they endeavored to kick up a
row and switch to some other
man. They made just noise
enough to attract the attention
of the people to their presence
among the stalwarts, and the
people misinterpretingt the mean
ing Of that presence, and fearing
the results, deserted the stall
wart element. The TINES, with
thousands Of others who acted
fairly and honestly in the matter,
supported the stalWarts because
it believed that the faction under
Senator Whitehead would have
faithfully served the whole people
and have ended one-man dictator
ship in the state. That this belief
was not generally shared among
the people is shown by the result
in the state. Now boys, this has
been a nice little scrap" and
we stalwarts have been licked to
a standstill. No one knows it
better than we do. Be decent
with US and we will with you.
IT IS natural to suppose that
Governor LaFollette will insist,
on pledging the party at the

him speak up. The theory has
been surrounded with SO much
false sentiment that it has won a
good deal of favor with those
who have failed to investigate it.
"Purer primaries, . giving the
people a chance" and all such
catch-phrases are calculated to
appeal to the people, and there
is no one who would not support
the primary election system if
these things that are claimed for
it could be accomplished. To
our mind all these things are
pure and unadulterated fiction.
A primary election system
simply means that the thickly
populated sections Of the state
will get all the nominations on
the state tickets, while in the
counties the bigger towns would
freeze out the smaller COM
munities. The precedents Of
the party in recognizing different
nationalties and localities could
be no longer observed, and the
man with barrel who could
afford the expense of the extra
campaign that would have to be
carried on would be the winner.
The poor man would get it in the
neck, and the whole political
system would be demoralized.
The worst thing that can be said
against the convention system
in Wisconsin is that the conven-
ton two years ago allowed
Robert M. LaF'ollette to ride
plank for primary elections
in the platform when nine tenths
of the delegates present in the
convention did not know what
they were voting for. But it is
just such dictation as this that
The TIMES has insisted the
voters should free themselves of.
Every representative nomin-
ated for a Legislative position
this year should be given dis
tinctly to understand that the
people expect them to give their
aid and support to measures that
have as their aim the proper ad-
justment of taxes on all classes
of property throughout the state.
The small property owner is the
man who is paying the taxes to-
day, and his rich neighbor has
escaped long enough.
COLONEL Ames, superintend
ent of the police OF Minneapolis,
who has been on trial for brib-
cry has been acquitted by a
jury. The investigation of police
scandals in Minneapolis has
brought out some decidedly in
teresting reading, and has given
Minneapolis a reputation of
which she has no reason to feel
proud.
TALKING about your arid lands
of the west, why wouldn't it be a
mighty good scheme to build a
few water troughs that would
reach from northern Wisconsin
out across the dry plains? We
have water to spare, and would
not object at all to running a
little of it over some country that
is dry.
