TAMMiNY LIES ABOUT CUTTING.

Over Platt-Seens Like Panic.

over Platt-SeenS Like FanIc.
Whether r. Fulton Cutting and Senator
Plat have ever met is, in Tammany's
opinion evidently, one Of the vital issues
of the campaign. When the Mcclellan
headquarters saw that Mr.. Cutting had
said that he did not know Senator Platt
personally, statement was issued that
MIR Cutting gave banquet in Senator
Platts honor at the Waldorf-Astoria five
years ago Then the statement continues:
At this banquet President Roosevelt, then
the Governor OF New York State, presided.

Thirty-fve young women from the

When the shoppers were making their

o'clock Yesterday afternoon. a man furled
,,o Citizens Union banner that had fioated
, II dav over the heads of the thousands that
mass tho Fifth avenue corner, It was tied
m IN the south pole. This morning it will

hanged This is the banner to which
T.mmany made such strong objection. It
reads now;

When i, appears again it will read;
No Thief Gambler or Divekeeper Will
Vote TO Elect Mayor Low,
How Are You Going to Vote?
Vote for Low and Keep the Grafters Out.
Tie first outcry against the banner came
from Tammany. Senator George W.
Plunldtt said it was an outrage. Then
some Citizens Union leaders began to dis
c,lss with M Cutting the good taste OF the
declaration. One Of them, who is a large
contributor to the campaign fund, said the
Indictment was too sweeping. Many Of his
friends, he said, thought Of splitting their
tickets and voting for some Of the candi-
dates on the Tammany ticket. Under
such a blanket indictment az this they
might take offence. Mr.. Cutting then
Issued orders that the banner should be
taken down at once.
1T was a mistake" said he. And when
We realized it we decided that the best
course was to admit our mistake and take
II down. 1t gave offence unnecessarily
President Bruce Of the Republican county
committee thought it would be a mistake
to take 1t away. Without passing on the
good taste Of hanging it out in the first
place, he thought that, once exhibited,
Il should he allowed TO remain.
If had my way" he said. .once out it
would stay out. l would not lower it an
eighth of an inch, and instead Of taking it
in would cut the ropes and nail it to the
poles
After a conference between Mr.. Cutting
ard Mr. Bruce it was decided to change the
language to the negative form and put
the banner up again to-day. Tammany
was nightly pleased.

What We Eat.

That dispatch from Sioux City to
The Journal published Saturday,
is enough to make a person swear off
on every sort Of prepared food and
wish that he could eat nothing that
has not been grown and made ready
for the table under his own eye.
Duke H. Bashford the chemist, who
is conscience-stri because of his
long years Of service in the employ of
the manufacturers of adulterated foods,
may be somewhat loony-very likely
he is seeing that he has given up a
good income-but the facts he pre-
sents in somewhat startling fashion
are not new. to the food commissioners
of the various states or to those who
have studied their reports. There is
hardly anything in Mr.. Bashford' S
statement that can not be matched in
sober reports.
Mr.. Bashford is probably wrong in
his assertion that $50 per cent Of the
diseases of this country.and especially
the new diseases, are caused by the
adulterationo fefood products" but it
is Impossible. that a vast amount Of
sickness and misery is not assumed
by the sham. often poisonous, foods,
usually without any food value, that
are now fed to the people in such inn
mense quantities, There is room for
argument as to~the danger of using
some of these authorizations and adu1-
terants, but there is no doubt that
many of them are valueless for foqd
purposes, and that the people who
consume them are getting nothing for
their money, except. perhaps, the
pleasure of swallowing what tastes like
a food, but is not.
The individual citizen cannot pro-
! tect himself against. these worthless
or dangerous foods. He must buy and
eat on faith. He must look to the
state for protection of his food, just
as he looks to it for protection of his
money. The campaign for pure food
1 is only in Its infancy. Before it is
we'll on its way the food departments
