State Department Orders Vessel to

Washington, D. c., Sept. 12.-The
Navy Department today received dis.
patch from Rear Admiral Goodrich,
commanding the Navy Yard at Mare
Island, California, stating that the Rus
sian transport, Lena, had arrived and
that her commanding officer claimed
that his ships engines and boilers
were in need of repairs. Later in the
day the telegram was referred to the
State. Department for action.

Washington, d. c., Sept. 12.-Secre-
tary Morton has telegraphed Rear Ad-
miral Goodrich, commander-in-chief of
the Pacific Coast station, directing him
to detain the Pacific squadron at San
Francisco and to inquire of the COM
mander of the Lena what his inten-
tions are
Caused Stir In Official Circles.
Washington, D. c., Sept. 12.-Admir-
al Goodrich's report on the presence
of the Russian transport Lena in San
Francisco harbor caused a great stir
in official circles here. The entry Of
the ship was entirely unexpected and
was disagreeable event for it was
hoped by the officials that America
would escape being drawn into the ne
cessity of making close decisions re-
specting the rights of belligerent YES
sells in our ports. 1t is said at the
State Department that in international
law there is no difference recognized
between transport and battle ship,
although there seems to be an intima.
nation that the captain of the Russian
ship thought otherwise and was dis
posed to claim exemption from the
rules of war applying to naval ships.
It is probable that this government
will follow the course pursued by Ger
many, France and China in cases
whers Russian vessels sought shelter
in their harbors.
Remains In Harbor.
San Francisco, Sept. 12.-The Rus
sian transport Lena which unexpected
" arrived yesterday from Vladivos-
.ock, remains at anchor off the Union
ron Works. Her commander stated
that her boilers are in need of repair
and that some time must elapse before
she will be able to go to sea. AS yet |
has been done towards placing
ler in dry dock.
Must Put to Sea.
Washington, D. c., Sept. 12.-If it
should appear that the vessel is really I
she must go to sea at once
,r at least within "a hours of the no.
ice to our officials of her arrival in |
,ort. She may take on a supply of
,oal but only sufficient amount to
move her to the nearest home port and |
will be part of the understanding on
which this coal is used that it is to be
lsed for no other purpose. It. is be-
ieved at the Navy Department that
he conditions will not be allowed to
hape themselves so that the Lena can
% out of San Francisco harbor to prey
n the American bottoms. In fact the
prevails that the Lena will
,e tied up in San Francisco until the
nd of the war. :

A FEW WORDS IN REGARD TO PURE FOOD
GEORGE 4. LEE, L. D.

GEORGE r. LEE, IL ".
Official inspection OF articles of food
and drinks for the determination as to
whether poisons are present, IS OF such
a recent date that it is not particularly
strange that existing legislation should
be found defective.
Experience has already demonstrated
that the Pennsylvania state authorities
lack sufficient inspection machinery, and
municipal authorities lack power to en-
fore effective penalty.
The adulteration of food articles or
substitution OF cheaper for an expen-
sive constituent is not hurtful to the
human body, and does not deprive it
of nourishment, and when the foreign
constituents are known to the consumer
he buys the articles for what they are.
Otherwise adulteration is theft and
an assault on the health of the buyer. :
Milk is such an>important item in the
daily food supply, the most effective reg
ulations to secure its purity is justified.
The law has recognized this. The virtue
OF any legal method of protecting the
public against any food adulteratlons
depends upon its constant enforcement.
To permit dishonest dealers for any
length of time to supply milk to any class
of customers, which has been skinned
to worthlessness, or drngged to preserve
it, signifies objectionable laxness Oh the
part of the officials employed to prevent
this.
Now the problem is confronting the
Department of Health of Philadelphia
as to the use of coal tar products in the
manufacture of cheap soda water flayors.
Analysis proved that the favoring COM
pounds were not made of fruit syrups,
but almost exclusively of coal tar pro-
ducts. 1t is my impression that nine
out Of every ten drug store fountains
dispense limitation fruit syrups. In
my experience l have found but one
store which dispenced syrups made by
themselves from the fruit.
1t is only in recent years that the
law makers have displayed any concern
about the pure food laws, and many of
the people are still Indifferent, taking
what is offered without question or care.
Fortunately, there are others who realize
the study growth of the evil, and foresee
the fatal consequences of allowing the
smallest frauds, or even customary deceits
to go unchallenged and unpunished.
There are dangers enough to life and
health lurking in the pathway of short
lived mortals without the addition of
poisons in ordinary food and drink. I'm
lawful profits to milk, meat and provis-
ion dealers should not be weighted against
human health and life, and it is the
business of legislators and health officials
to see that they are not

THE TWO CANDIDATES

aPresident Roosevelt has, very
wisely and properly, announced
that he will make no speeches
during the campaign. For this
he is entitled to commendation.
To have entered into a discus,
sion of himself would have been
in poor taste, to say the least.
He is to stand upon his record
and his work. His utterances
in his speech of acceptance of
the nomination, and his letter to
be made public later, will suffice
to establish his position. He is
ready to stand or fall upon his
record, and if the American
people, in their unwisdom, should
see fit to elect a new and an un-
tried and secretive man for Pres
ident to take the place of a frank
and outspoken man-one whose
life is an open book and whose
views are known to tbs world
then the people themselves, and
not President Roosevelt, will be
the losers.
"Yet one of the most reputable
and fairminded Democratic
papers sinks it's fairness for the
time being in an attempt to sneer
at the decision of the President
not to speak during the cam
paign. This is not in harmony
with fairness and jus tice. Had
the President decided to take the
stump this same paper would
have covered him with condem-
nation. Morning Nea0S.
