figures in English public life today. and
he will be a greater one in the future.
When he outlines his policy and backs
It up with the figures with which he is
familiar in connection with colonial af-
fairs. there will be a change of senti-
ment in his favor. He has not yet done
more than Indicate what he proposes 10
do with the tariff The majority of the
people just now seem opposed to him
and his policy, but his enemies need
only wait short time TO find out what

The Milk Dealers and Producers AS
Mary land and Virginia has addressed a
communication to the Commissioners
oeclaring the new regulations proposed
for the government of dairies and dairy
farms are impracticable. and invite per-
secution. The association requests a
hearing by the Commissioners. which
will no doubt be granted. A. S. Trundle,
secretary OF the association. says:
Compliance Impracticable.
"IE our opinion. compliance with the
several sections. and as a whole. would
be impracticable and would only serve
in the hands OF indiscretionate and in
competent inspectors. as instruments OF
pers ,cution against many honest. intel
ligent and practical dairymen-
'.In fact. as a whole. they are so at
variance with the views of this associa-
tion. that it would be impossible TO
make suggestions that would bring them
within the scope of practicable applica-
tion, without rewriting almost entirely.
Il am further instructed to say that
any reasonable and practicable regula-
tions that might be promulgated by the
Health Department. which would tend
to prevent injury to health. or to pre-
vent adulteration or fraud of whatso-
ever nature. will be heartily seconded
