~The 4th of July in Duboi,
county was generally observed ex
cept by the booze dealers, who wer,
generally kept busy all day.
The Sunday Schools at Holland
and Huntingburg had appropriate
exercises, and delightful picnics.
The largest attendance at any
one place in the county assembled
near Ireland. where the various
lodges and Sunday Schools Joined
in an old fashioned celebration in
Mrs. A. Thomas grove, and where
probably 1900 or 1000 people
gathered, and Congressman Zenor
made an excellent Historical AID
dress, beginning at the agitation in
Mecklinburg, c., for Independ-
ence in l155, and coming on down
to the present time, showing the
causes which impelled the CONT
mental Congress of the Is colonies
IN lao to declare for independence,
and the seven long years of battles,
bloodshed and almost starvation to
make good their declaration against
hated, tyrannical Great Britain
which has never changed its course
to the present day, unless COMPEL
ed to, as shown by its treatment OF
the Republics OF South Africa.
Judge Zenor eulogized the Republic
and its flag, and admonishod the
people to be ever on the alert to
maintain their liberties as against
plutccra y within, and King craft
without ts borders.
An ireresting program was car
ried OFT the balance of the day, in
cluding hundreds OF hospitable
spreads for dinner, where the very
best was served under the shade OF
the grove, free to ala characters
tic Of Ireland's hospitality. Of
wells brass band furnished some
excellent music, as also, did several
Sunday Schools singing. The Por
tersville School was awarded the /
banner for the best singing. A sack /
race furnished a good deal of !
amusement, as did also an egg race, !

PURE FOOD LAW.

On July I next there goes into effect
a new law for the protection of the
people of this country from dangerous
foreign aduiteration of food and wine.
This law will strike most heavily at
German products, although it will also
interfere with the importation of many
French wines. The law is the result
of a long continued investigation by
the bureau of chemistry by the depart
ment OF agriculture. 1t was framed by
ID. w. Wiley, the competent chief of
the bureau in accordance with the Eu-
ropean method of standardizing food
products.
Every European country has a rigid
pure food standard, applying to all
products sold to its own people. And
the market for all impure and adulter-
ated goods is obtained by export To
such countries as do not maintain such
a standard. DR.. Wiley explains thai
the new law prohibits this as a mat
ter of health protection" providing fol
the operation OF the same rules thai
prevail abroad. 1t also applies the
same rules to the export of adulteratec
food products in this country.

Two labor unions, n in Chicago
and one in st. Louis. have been taught
a salutary lesson by the officials OF
their own organization on the import
ance of keeping contracts.
Both the Chicago blacksmiths and
the st. Louis teamsters broke their
contracts with their employers to go
out on a sympathetic strike. The in
ternational presidents of both unions
declared the offenders to be rebels and
they are now in a class with those non
union workmen whom they are accus-
toned to despise.
The presidents recognized the pat
ent fact that in proving disloyal to
their contracts they were injuring in

CASE OF

When Superintendent Machen, OF
the free delivery service of the post
office department, was first accused OF
irregularities in the conduct of his Of
fee his indignation was boun0iess,
says the Colorado Springs Telegraph.
He denounced the charges as malic-
ious persecution and assured his wide
circle of friends OF high, and low de-
gree that there was not q word of
truth in them.
He had friends of great influence
and power in public life and in the
world whom he induced to
believe in his innocence and to defend
him.
AT this very time he had several
thousand dollars in his possession
which he had stolen from the govern
ment in making contracts for supplies.
He was a very popular official and his
influence was so great that he secured
the dismissal of an editor who had
dared to criticize him. When the
president heard of this, it is said, he
at once ordered MIR. Machen to be
thoroughly investigated, on the theory
that there must be something wrong
with a man who needed such heroic
defense
The investigation resulted in show
ing him to be as thorough a scoundreI
