FOOD ADULTERATTONs.

The Superintendent of Food Products at the Worlds Fair, Paul Pierce. in recent address. declared that "a sys- by the American press would be worth more to the cause of pure food than all the laws that could be passed"
 This is strong tribute to the power of the press of the country, and of the good it can accomplish, but MT. Pierce would impose on journalism a task more onerous than was required of old Hercules himself. The number of food adulterations is legion, though not all of them are hurtful, except to the purses of the people who purchase them. Many food mixtures are really bealthful and nutritious, and the real wrong so far as they are concerned is that they are sold under fictitious names and at higher prices than should be charged or could be obtained, If the true character of the preparation were known. This is a wrong, of course, but not a menace to the health of the consumer.
 But of the class of mixtures which are really hurtful, and in many in- stances dangerous. there are many, and we agree that they should be exposed and driven out. but Is that the duty of the newspapers exclusively? What would become of a newspaper that would constitute itself a spy on the business of merchants and dealers and manufactures and set itself to the work of prying into the secrets of the manu- featuring industries for the purpose of informing the public on all matters re- lating to the preparation and sale of food products? Is that the duty of public journal? It is admitted, of course. that a newspaper should ex- pose fraud when it can get the evidence on which to base such exposure, but we do not understand that it should employ spies to pry into the business operations of the citizens. whether of its own community or of others. Such a course on the part of a newspaper would defeat the very ends 1t sought to accomplish, for it would render 1t prao- tically impossible to get any informa- ton. The Advertiser is thoroughly earnest in condemning food adultera- tIons. and thinks if laws on the subject are rigidly enforced the evil may be largely hampered. if not entirely pre- vented.

Mr. Hefiin's Utteranees Were Iuceuat-

 Birmingham News.
 According to The Montgomery Adver- tiser's report of the speech of Con gee Monday. MT. Hefiin, in discussinS the action Of President Roosevelt in dining Booker Washington at the White House, said: There thev sat Roosevelt and Booker, and if some Czolgosz or one of his kind had thrown bomb under the table, no great harm would have been done the country"
 There must surely be some mistake about the language here attributed to Mir. Hefiin. It is difficult to believe that he gave utterance to the incendi- ary sentence quoted above. If he did not he should be prompt to disavow it. If he did use these words in he heat of passion and without due delib- eration he should quickly withdraw them.
 Language of this character must bring great harm to the candidate who utters 1t and likewise to the political party he represents. It certainly does not voice either Democratic or South- ern sentiment No Southern Democrat approves of the act of President Roose- welt in dining Booker Washington and thereby seeking to wipe out the social distinction between the black and Southern whites heartily disapprove of the Presidents unwise course and they have not hesftated to condemn it from the day it occurred to the present time. But the suggestion that some assassin should have thrown a bomb under the table finds no response in this or any other section of the country.
 MT. Heflin owes it to himself and to his party to disavow the statement at- tributed to him.

AN UNFORTUNATE EXPRESSION.

How easily. a newspaper may place itself in a wrong attitude before the public is shown in the following from The Richmond News-Leader: ,
 A communication printed elsewhere rebukes The News-Leader for an edi- torial expression regarding the case of spondent apparently thinks that The News Leader favors the lyncning of this man. He misunderstands the po- sition. This newspaper said that if lynched as much as any beast who ever felt the power of aroused and en- ragged public sentiment" Saying that a man deserves to be lynched and urg- ing that he shall be lynched are two very different propositions.
 We know The News-Leader to be one of the most cautious and censerva- tive newspapers in the country. It Is always prompt and outspoken in its condemnation of mob law. and we can readily understand that 1t had no idea or intention of saying anything that could be construed into an apology for lynching. Admitting all this, we are bound to say that the correspondent to whom it refers was not to blame for the construction he placed on the Ian guage used. To say of a man that he deserves to be lynched will be con- strued by all who are disposed to favor mob law as equivalent to saying that the man ought to be lynched.
 The apostle James says: Behold, how great a matter little fire kind leth," and so 1t is with the public mind, especially when it is wrought up by some peculiarly atrocious crime. 4 word or sentence that can be con- strued into a defence or justification of lynching, when printed in a prominent newspaper. may kindle a flame that will consume all respect for the law. While we repeat that we know The News-Leader was innocent of any in- tent to condone the mob sentiment, we are equally sure that its correspondent took the view that would be taken by a majority of readers. It is but an- other evidence of the way an appa- rently harmless sentence may work or encourage a great wrong.

And then If Book CT Washington interferes in any con- test which Mir. Hefiin's Republican competitor may make for his seat in Congress there is a way of stopping him. We have a way of influencing negroes down here when 1t becomes necessary" was an admission of all the charges of bulldozing and murderine nergoes at will in the South None of the good, substantial. thoughtful citi- zens in the Fifth Congressional Dis trict agree with the sentiments ex- pressed on this occasion by their Rep resentative in Congress.
 There Is no spirit of anarchy among them; they are opposed to every form of lawlessness. They are in favor of the rule of the white man politically. opposed to social equality, in favor of race separateness but of giving the negro population a fair chance at ed ucation. in all industrial pursuits and courts as to the white people.
 While MT. Hefiin's remarks were in- admissible at any time, on the occa- sion and at this time they were ex- election of a President and Represen- tatives in Congress there Is no telling the injury these remarks made by one of its Representatives will be used to the great detriment Of the Democratic party throughout the North and West . The party has not. in fifty years had a candidate for President who was su- perior to Judge Parker in any respect: and now when there Is a bright pros pect of his election these unfortunate remarks of MT. Hefln may possibly be used to endanger his election. Such a result was far from MT. Heflin's thoughts when he was trying to amuse his audience with his jocularity.
 The great State of New York would have gone for Blaine but for the un- fortunate remark of the Rev. N-r. Burchard in a speech he was making for him, to wit. That the Democratic party was controlled by Rum, Roman ism and Rebellion. The three Rs did the work and gave the State to Cleveland by a small majority.

 the Executive Committee. Editor The Advertiser:
 In your report of this RentIeman's speech at Tuskegee last Monday you say that he made the following utter ances, to wit
 Tn contemptuously describing >the dinner at which President Roosevelt and Booker Washington sat down to- Roosevelt and Booker. and if some Czolgosz or one of his kind had thrown bomb under the table, no great harm would have been done the coun- try"
 And in reference to probable con test for his seat by Walker MT. Heflip is thus reported:
 And if Booker interferes in this thing there Is a way of stopping him. We have a way of influencing negroes down here when it becomes necessary" In yesterday mornings paper you commented on these remarks with re- gret, but did not go to the extent of my apprehensions of their effect: MT Hehin has always been my friend and l have none other than the kindest feelings toward him, but my attach ment to my State, my party and the country is greater than to any indi vidual. however highly I esteem h m. immense harm he has innicfed on his State, his party and his country in the utterances of the sentences aboVe quoted It does not matter what might have been his motive nor the Idea he intended to convey. the utter ances are not relieved of their sting by the claim of friends that he only meant to be jocose.
 No more infamous creature or com piete monster in human form ever breathed or was more execrated by the civilized world than Czolgosz the as- sassin of President Mckinley. Then for a member of Congress and Demo- cratic nominee for reelection in a public speech to say that if another

The esteemed Hartford Courant af- fects to be highly amused at the pre- diction made by enthusiastic Democrats that Parker will get the electoral vote of Connecticut. There are other Re- publicans who find amusement In such Democratic claims. and we advise them to laugh now as much as they choose. They should remember the story of the Irishman who enjoyed a good laugh at the thought of what he was going to do to the bull. but after he had been tossed over the fence he congratulated himself that he'd had his laugh before tackling the bull.
 What is there to be amused at in the prediction? Tilden carried the State once and Cleveland three times, and we are not willing to believe that Democracy is dead in the Nutmeg State. We readily admit that the course pursued by the Democracy in 1896 and 1900 almost disintegrated the party, but that Is no evidence that they have forsworn their allegiance. or that they win not vote the ticket this year. now that the Party has become sane. safe and. sound. The Courant should study the figures a little and 1t will find that the total Republican and Democratic vote in 1896 was about 5000 greater than in 1892. and 1t will find further that the Democrats lost in round numbers a5.Suv votes and the Republicans gained s3,ooo. In 1900 the Democrats had regained 17.ooo of their votes back, while the Republicans lost over 5000 of theirs.
 These figures show that the Demo- crats had largely returned to their al- legiance in 1909, although there was little enough to encourage them to come back, but they were tired of Re- publicanism, and If they would not vote for Mckinley it is not reason able supposition that they will now vote for Roosevelt. Viewing the money question as the paramount issue, there was some reason for Democrats in that section to vote for Mckinley in preference to Bryan. but there Is not a shadow of excuse for a Democrat sup porting Roosevelt in preference to Parker. The only claim that the Re- publican ticket had on any Democrat in 1896 and 1900 was on the financial question. and that is no longer an issue. We believe the Democrats who thrice voted for Grover Cleveland will sup port Parker. and that they will be re- inforced by many intelligent and patri- otic voters who will have none of Roosevelt.
 But The Courant tells us that-"Go where you may in this State and you will find a dozen Democrats who will vote for Roosevelt to one Republican who is going to vote for Parker" We have heard that kind of spieling be- fore, and especially from Republicans, but put no confidence in 1t. We are not claiming that Republicans are turning over to Parker, and still less do we believe that Democrats are go- ing to Roosevelt, for there Is no cause for it. The gold Democrats should be satisfied with both candidate and plat form. and the silver Democrats should follow the example of Mir. Bryan him. self and resolve that the paramount question now Is the defeat of Roosevelt We very much doubt The Courant's traitors in any portion of Connecticut.

POLITICAL POINTS

party in political matters having a le- gal bearing, and as he was formerly a citizen of Wisconsin, his views regard ing both the judicial and the political phases of the Badger State tangle are of peculiar interest and value. While he does not express a belief that the complication there is likely to involve the fate of the national election, he says that, if the electors for Wisconsin should hold the balance of power in the electoral college and the legal doubts now concluding the situation there. are not fully removed, there would be, in these events, more reasonable basis for great legal battle to determine the outcome of the national election than there was in 1876, when the great Til den-Hayes controversy kept the coun- try in State of acute suspense for many months.

Cold Comfort for the Faithful. YaU Ynrk

 Extraordinarily cold comfort about the outlook in New York the Republi- can managers are giving to the faith ful. Why they say, this State Is cer- tain to go for Roosevelt, and Higgins will not be more than 30, 900 behind the national ticket It Is clear, however. that if any such upheaval as that is imminent, New York might as we'll be taken out of the doubtful column and set down as certain to go for Parker. That indeed, Is the conclusion to which the most impartial observers are rap. Idly coming. What it means for the canvass in other States every man with any political experience knows without being told. The party which feels sure of New York has everywhere an asset of the greatest value. It Is easy to maintain that Roosevelt can be elected without New York. but there cannot be the slightest doubt that the grow ing conviction that his own State is lost to him is hurting his cause elsewhere, Political records. show that the man who could be elected President with out New York has six times out of seven found that he could not be"
