STATE WOULD KNOW
CONTENTS OF CAN
Very InquisitiVe as to Baking
Powder Sold by Austin
Grocer.

George L. Dingman, assistant state
dairy and food commissioner, received
yesterday from Austin a sample of
baking powder for analysis.
This baking powder was found by
one Of the inspectors Of the depart
ment in the possession of G. F. Rade-
macher, a dealer at Austin, who has
already been fined $25 in the court
there because of the fact that the can
in which the product was offered for
sale was not labeled as required by
law. The only label on the can showed
no statement of the ingredients used
in the manufacture of it's contents
This in itself constitutes an offense
under the law even though the baking
powder in the can were the purest ever
made.
The baking powder in question is
made under Mr.. Rademacher's own
brand, and Mr.. Dingman states that
an inspector of the dairy and food de-
partment notified him April "a that the
labels on the cans were contrary to
law and he would be liable to arrest
II he continued to use them. This
week Inspector Fowler made a second
call on Mr.. Rademacher and finding
the baking powder with the objection
able labels still on sale at his store
had him arrested and he was fined $25.
1t is not yet known whether the baking
powder contains any Objectionable in
gradients, but it is being analysed to
settle that question.

THE SINCERITY OF NATIONS.

Russia has ordered her to go into mourning

cdes be punished Indeed, her silence gives tact

Undoubtedly her only purpose in assuming the trap

is to show to her subjects and the world large that
what they represented autocrac power she respects 1t
does not her that Alexander and Draga
sassnated 1t does her that there people
who held in little respect that monarchal principle
they represented that they dared strike both down. 1t
is the principle, not the individual, that is mourned
In the concert of the nations Russia endeavors al
to sing in harmony Not that she whit for

THE STORY OF A HERO.

Robert Wilkinson, of Poughkeepsie, N. Y, is tel
egraph operator For hirtyve years he has held the
night trick in the Grand Central station, New York
Thousands of lives have depended the faithful per-
Torrance of his duty The telegraph operators wife
invalid and week ago her illness took serious
Every evening when he kissed his wife good-by before
departing for his work, it with fear that he might
see her alive again. One night after midnight he
telephoned for. His wife dying. If he wanted
to see her alive he would have to leave at But
there take his place. He hung up the re-
telephone rang again This time he was informed that
his wife dead. Once he returned to his desk
At in the morning he released. Then he wept like
a child and hurried to his stricken home
The of heroes has passed from the face Of
the earth The story Of Robert Wilkinson is proof of
this. He gave up what dearer him than life-the
privilege of seeing his wife before she died-because
was his duty. Emerson wrote:
$50 is grandeur to the dust,
So nigh is God to
When duty whispers low, Thou must
The youth replies, I cam"
Youth is ready make this reply today as it ever
And whenever it is made, it is made by hero
For the faithful performance of duty the highest form
of heroism for makes the greatest demand But as
rule, duty very prosaic thing Seldom does the
performance of it gain the worlds applause as in the
Of Robert Wilkinson But it's fine thing in spite
of its prosac appearance And governs the actions
the majority of people, sensatonalsts the contrary
notwithstanding.

THE JOURNEY OF LIBERTY BELL

And then the train reached New York There was
the usual hurryng crowd in the big station. Some of
these stared curous1y at the fag-decked coach Two
paused to ask what it But the majority hurried
without seeing it. No deputation of school chill

EDITORIAL EXPRESSIONS,
Not Ready for the Republic.

There intimations from Servia that the national
parliament may not, after ALL call Prince Peter Kara
Georgevch to the throne, but may declare for repub
lc Ignoring not only the claims of Peter, but the pre-
tensions of Prince Mrko of Montenegro and the newly
discovered second of Milan, who has turned up in
Italy.
Servia, however, is hardly ripe for democracy. It
may be doubted whether she is yet prepared for con-
sttutonal monarchy. From her history during the last
100 years the inclusion is warranted that despotism
tempered by assassination is still the form of government
that best suits the Servians.
It is necessary however, that the despot should be
of strength and intelligence sufficient to govern the
country with wisdom The fate of Alexander shows that
the weang or the imbecie who undertakes the despots
part invites fate. dictator may be-indeed must be-
harsh and cruel, but he must have brains besides
The world will no longer tolerate Heliogamalus
Probably there in Servia fitted to plav the
part of autocrat The history of the country shows
that such have been bred there. It is not to be
supposed that the breed has out 1t very likely
that if the Servans should try republic for time they
would wake up morning find that the throne had
acquired occupant overnight-some swneherd per-
haps who would rule them with a rod of iron as the
original Georges and Obrens ruled them.
Democracy is working its way but slowly eastward
