1t is generally recognized, however,
that one of the duties of government
is, so far as it is able, to protect the
health of it's subjects. The federal
government bars immigrants who are
sick or have been exposed to infectious
diseases. The state governments main
tain boards of health whose business it
is to prevent incompetent physicians,
dentists, and, in Missouri, even BARRIERS,
from injuring the health of those who,
ignorant or their deficiencies, may en-
ploy them professionally. Every we'll
governed city has numerous ordinances
providing for municipal sanitation of
various kinds.
The Hepburn bill is based upon the
same principle as these regulations.
No manufacturer has right to make
and no merchant or druggist has a right
to sell, one article which purports to
be another article or one which he
knows will injure the person who uses
it, without having first warned the pur-
chaser of it's true character. The feder-
al government can not directly prevent
the manufacture or fraudulent sale of
impure or deleterious foods. 1t can,
however, restrict their manufacture and
sale by preventing their shipment from
state to state; and this is the object OF
the Hepburn bill. To what extent the
measure will be effective, if it finally
becomes a law, is doubtful, but to such
lengths has the business of food adul-
iteration been carried in all parts of the
country that the people would endorse
the measures enactment and righteous
enforcement. Kansas City Journal.

THE HEPBURN PURE FOOD BILL

The Hepburn bill, which passed the
house Thursday, is the most comprehen-
sive and drastic measure to prevent
food authorizations that has ever been
secured the favor of either branch of
congress. 1t fixes standard of purity,
strength and character Of all foods and
drugs. Any food or drug that does not
measure up to this standard is barred
from interstate commerce. If anybody
attempts to transport such food or drug
from one state to another, he shall be
prosecuted in the federal courts, the
bill provides, and, on conviction, a
heavy penalty shall be imposed upon
him. The work of food and drug inspec-
ton is made part of the business of
the department of agriculture.
The measure is strongly opposed in
some quarters, as too paternalistic and
as putting too many and too heavy
shackles upon commerce. In effect it
tells the manufacturer what goods he
shall make, the merchant what he shall
sell and the individual what he shall
consume. These are matters, it is con.
tended, that ought to be left to the in,
dividual Judgment and appetite. MOI
are these objections totally devoid Of
strength and validity. It would seen
that when government prescribess the
exact degree Of fineness which every
article Of human consumption must have
before the railroads can lawfully carry
1 it, it is restricting commercial and in
dividual rights within pretty narrow
limits.

LAW TO STOP EASY DIVORCES.
Such a Measure Has been Introduce
ed in the State Senate,

A new safeguard will be thrown about
the marriage relation if bill intro
duced yesterday in the senate by Sena-
tor Jones, Of Oskaloosa, is passed. The
bill makes divorces harder to get in
Iowa than formerly, and is reaction
against the "ready divorce tendency of
the present day.
According to the provisions of the
bill, parties wishing to sever the mar
riage relation will have to secure adj
ditional testimony beyond their own.
1t will not be possible for couple,
weary of married life, to arrange among
themselves that they will get divorce,
one party agreeing to whatever cause
the other may allege.
Under the provisions of this bill,
corroborative testimony will have to be
introduced. If the applicants for di-
vorce cannot bring evidence to show
that one of them has been guilty Of
"cruel and inhuman treatment" or of
some other readily alleged cause he or
she will have to stay married. If they
can secure the corroborative testimony,
the court will pass upon it. If the
court can see no reason why divorce
ought to be granted, it will not do so
and in that case an appeal can be taken
to the supreme court, where it will rest
a year before decision.

Special to The Journal.
Gladstone Mich, Oct. 4.-Southern Alger
county adyices report desperate battle with
wolves to have been the thrilling experience Of
James Bosworth, civil veteran and home
steader. BoswOrth went in search of a COW, at
shutdown finding himself in big swamp, several
miles from home. He observed several wolves
making their way toward him, but, having his
rifle with him, he not alarmed. until he dis
covered that his ammunition was limited to one
cartridge.
Bosworth blazed away but. tho one of the
animals tumbled over, the others did not falter.
Then the homesteader realized the danger of
his situation. Quickly CHANGING about, he saw
that the wolves between him and small
beech with spreading branches, the only tree
near by which he could climb. Grasping his
rifle firmly, Bosworth awaited the attack, and,
swapping and snarling, the wolves leaped at him.
Using his gun as a club, BOsWOrth slowly made
his way toward the tree. AS wolf would
spring at him, he would fell 1t with a terrific
blow, only to receive attack. Sometimes
a wolf would succeed in reaching him, but finally
the veteran arrived at the foot of the tree,
where he shouted and charged toward the snarl
ing animals.
This momentarily disconnected them and gave
him sufficient respite to drop his gun and spring
| into the low-spreading branches, from which he
soon reached place of safety. The wolves
howled about the tree for some hours, and kept
Bosworth a prisoner until we'll into the night
when they disappeared suddenly as they
came.
AT daybreak the farmer made his way home
suffering from many painful but not serious
wounds Later in the day the pelt of the wolf
killed secured and the homesteader has
since collected the bounty the state and county
allow 1t is seldom that northern Michigan

ST. OLAF'S NEW YEAR
Freshman Glass Is by Far the Largest

NORTHEIELD, MINN.-St. Olaf college has
entered upon what promises to be very pros
porous year. The return of old students is
the most satisfactory of recent years, and is
gratifying to all friends Of the institution. Ev-
cry member of the senior class is back, which
is unusual for small colleges, students often
go to the universities to graduate. In addition
to the Junior class of last year, four more will
finish here this year, making a graduating class
of thirty
The record is nearly as good thruout the whole
college enrolment Only five of the whole num-
ber% have not returned to continue their studies
The freshman class is by far he largest the
institution has ever had, and the fact that
several of its members honor graduates from
high schools speaks we'll for the scholarship Of
the class.
The interest in oratory and debate is Marked
and some good material is in the field to add to
the laurels in the state oratorical asso-
citation, the Ware contest, and the intercol-
legiate debate last year.
The music department., under the direction
of F. Me1ins Christianson is progressing salts
factor1ly. The band will be stronger than ever.
and the choral union will be materially strength
ened by the large increase of good voices. 1t
Is planned to have the second annual music
festival take place commencement week. in
stead Of May II and IS last year.
:. The committee appointed by the annual con-
ference for. the Hoy ner memorial chapel has
met and plans under consideration. It Is
hoped that the chapel will be built next sum-
mer and be ready for use next fall.
Money has been contributed by the st. Olaf

Albert Lea, Mimi, Oct 4.-The voters of AL

proud last night in rendering welcome to John
A. Johnson, the democratic candidate for gov
ernor. More than 900 persons crowded them
selves into a courtroom with a seating capacity
OF 700, and hundreds were turned away because
they could not gain admittance.
The citizens of Albert Lea drew no party
lines in extending a welcome to John A. John
son. 1t was welcome from democrats and re-
publicans alike welcome such as has never
before been rendered candidate for any office
