THE PURE FOOD LAW.

In recent issue the American
Grocer, leading trade journal of New
York commends the work of Commits
sioner Ladd of this state in endeavoring
to protect the public from impure and
dangerous authorizations of food. After
reviewing at length Mr.. Ladds work the
Grocer says:
What has been the result? The re-
port tells US that the cheap jellies, jams.
preserves, ETC., made from waste apple
products are no longer labeled and sold
as currant, strawberry, etc, but are
clearly labeled and sold as "Fruit Jelly,
etc., and no longer contain preserva-
tives and coal tar dyes. One year ago
the report showed that 100 per cent OF
the jellies, jams and preserves were
under the North Dakota law, adulterated
today but smaller per cent is sold in
violation of the law
Where sulphites were used in nearly
all grades of corn and succotash. 1t is
only rarely that the product containing
them is offered for sale in the state.
Artificial extracts have been largely
driven from the state; the vinegar sup
ply has been improved and is carefully
guarded. 1t is difficult to find in the
North Dakota market genuine maple
syrup or sugar Coal tar colors are ex-
tensively used in making cheap candies,
some of which are favored with syn
thetic products, in violation of law. Pre-
servatives, saccharine, were found in
canned goods. After Jnly l, 1904, the
use of the latter is prohibited
Commissioner Laid is right in his
position that any wholesome food, imita
ton or compound, labeled as being
something else should be sold for what
it is. He says: Sell it on its merits
and create demand for it, rather than
glucose masquerading as sugar syrup
and cottonseed oil as virgin olive OIL y
1t is certain that prejudice will quickly
disappear if an article is wholesome and
is sold under its true name.

The CROP PROSPECT.

The reports that are daily coming in
from every part of the county indicate
excellent prospects for a bumper crop
of grain of all kinds. The returns being
made by the assessors show that there
is an increase in the acreage sown to
wheat with noticeable falling off
against last year of the land sown to
fax. The season of year ago was not
of the kind that made the flax crop a
profitable one, but those who have a
field of flax this year tind the crop
promises away above the average. In
fact this is the condition of all grains
this year. Late sown crops that were
only put in during the first days of the
present month have made such head
way during the cool growing weather
that has been experienced up to this
time and further aided by the abund-
ance of June rains so that now quite a
heavy stand of grain is the result There
have been few seasons in the past when
the recorded amount of moisture dur
ing the month of June has been either
as large or as evenly distributed. The
cool damp weather during the month
has done much to aid the wheat in stool
ing we'll which makes the fact certain
that the growth will be heavy one.
Hot dry weather in July is all that is
needed to practically assure Cavalier
county farmers the greatest crop which
has been harvested in the history of the
county. Farmers and business men
alike now feel assured of the crop, un-
less deluging rains or disastrous storms
of hail should sweep over this section.
Crop experts consider that the critical
period is between the present date and
the last days of July

That Do-nothins Congress.

When the Republican leaders deter
mined to pass the appropriation bills
and "go home" it is possible that a
good many Of the lesser lights of the
party did not approve the programme,
but they are all equally guilty, for
when given an opportunity by Demo
cratic amendments they were voted
down by strict party vote; also the
bills introduced by Democrats, which
covered all the matters of public in
terest, were net allowed even to be
considered in the committees or re-
jected by party vote. So there is no
escape from the record made that the
Republican party feared to go on rec
ord on bills Of great importance OF
were so intent on policy Of concilia-
ton that they adopted the "do-noth-
Ing programme.

THE TARIFF PLANK.
Il IL Givang the Managers o1. he
G. O. II. Much Anxiety.

01s Va
Senator Aldrich says the Republic
ans will revise the tariff when it is
necessary to do so, but as the senator
manages the Republican tariff pro-
gramme and in turn is controlled by
the trusts the time for revision Is Ger
tain to he in the distant future. Those
of us with small incomes. at the mercy
of high trust prices. have seen the ne
cessity for tariff reform ever since the
combines boosted prices beyond the
ability OF the poor man to pay. The
Rockefeller group Of industrial trusts.
with whom Senator Aldrich is connect
ed, will hardly consider it necessary to
revise the tariff unless to raise it to a
higher plane.
The Republican leaders are now try.
ing to agree on tariff and trust planks
to be Incorporated in the platform to
be adopted ut Chicago, and the same
Juggling with words that will allow
both factions to stand on the platform
is certain to be presented to the vot-
ers. Senators Aldrich and Lodge arc
said to be preparing the planks under
the close supervision of President
Roosevelt. and the voter that will not
be able to find what he wants will lie
hard to please.
Yet the fact remains that the protec-
tionists and trust interests will write
the platform and also control the ac-
ton of the Republican national con-
vention. and as every revision of the
tariff by the Republicans has resulted
in increasing duties it is certain that
If the Republican party wins the cleo
ton it will not be considered neces-
sary to revise the tariff. and more GER
tain that if any revision is attempted
the protection the trusts now enjoy will
be maintained. Dun's index figures
for May show that high prices for all
the necessaries of life are still main
tained and yet wages are declining
With a vast number of workers unem
ployed and many imported industries
running on short time. and vet the
high tariff, which the Republicans de
clare produces prosperity, is in full
working order The price Of many
farm products is falling. and yet the
cost of living shows but little if any
decrease. The beef trust. the coa
trust, the salt trust, the oil trus:. the
sugar trust and the minor combina
tons are paying large dividends, fos
tered in most cases by the protection
the tariff gives them.
1t would seem, therefore, Senator
Aldrich to the contrary notwithstand
ing, the Republican national platform
should declare when the tariff will bs
revised and if the revision shall pro
vide for higher or lower duties. espe

Yet Mr.. Babcock evidently is alarmed

gave out that interview Mr.. Babcock
was thinking of the uncomfortable
questions that many of his own con-

the charges of his too close connection
with the railroad corporations. of pad
ding the mails in the interest of those
institutions and his failure to push his
bill to reform the tariff schedule that
shelters the steel trust, though he had
declared the tariff must he reformed,

to know why the packers combine is
paying less for cattle and hogs and yet
the price of meat to the consumer is
