struck with a Pick /?

Some excitement was caused on Pat
rick street, between King and Prince,
about noon today by personal encoun-
ter between Raymond Harrison and
Robert Wallace, during which the
former was seriously injured on the
head. Harrison claims that his antagon-
list struck him with pick, but Wallace
denies the charge, and says he used
natures weapons. 1t appears that Har.
rison was walking with man named
Daniel Davies when the former mad
vertently stepped on granolithic pave
ment which Wallace had just construct
ed. This brought on an angry colloquy
which terminated in an encounter be-
tween Harrison and Wallace: The
police soon appeared and took Wallace
and Davies in custody, it being alleged
that the latter urged on the fight. botn
men left collateral for their appearance
Monday. Harrison was removed TO his
residence, 524 south Patrick street,
where he received surgical attendance.

THE SOCIAL SERVICE.

We have a civil service in this country
ice. and OF each of these services many
branches are represented in Washington.
Few people know. however, that there is
also "A social service 1t is not large. nu-
merically, and its work is altogether con-
fined to the White House. There are now
nine men in the social service OF the execu-
tive mansion-five army officers three ma
val officers and one officer of the marine
corps
This is nearly double the number of men
formerly employed in this important serv-
ice The latest addition is officially des-
ignated as the cotillion leader at the execu-
tive mansion He is we'll known as the best
dancer in the uniformed service. and so has
earned his place by ability. The other MEM
bers of the social staff have various duties
and other state functions.
This does not sound much like the dem
ocratic simplicity" of the early days. Even
as late as the time of the civil war one
can imagine the grim amazement Of Abra-
ham Lincoln at the idea of a government
cotillon leader. But i'm this age of the
world such officials have become an abso-
lutte necessity. America is not dping the
magnifcence of European courts. or copy
ing the pTetentioUsness of effete old-world
monarchies. Such a charge-which has, of
course. been made by certain chronic
knockers ridiculous. 1t has become
necessary for the executive mansion to
conduct it's social functions on a larger and
more pretentious scale than heretofore.
These things must be done. and it is neces-
sary that they be done in orderly and
business-like manner. The social staff.
therefore, becomes as much a necessity as
any other branch of the government serv-
ice
Some army and navy officers might not
care to be chosen for this particular duty
as carpet knights" but those who were
selected were probably glad to get the
post If man or a nation is to dance
and drink tea it is we'll that it should be
done in the most approved style dictated
by the best society. Uncle Sam cannot
afford 10 be the least polished at the inter-
national social functions.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1904-01-22

The Hepburn pure-food bill. which passed
the House on Wednesday by the large ma
jority of POI To IS. is in advance OF any pre-
vious national legislation on the subject and
is really a drastic measure. There is al
ready a good law in force to prevent the i'm
portation of aduIterated food and beverages
from other countries, and several Of the
States have laws on the subject, though
they are not as well enforced as they
should be.
The Hepburn bill covers a portion of the
field that cannot be reached by State laws.
The latter can only prevent the sale Of adul-
terated or imita ton articles in the State
where they are manufactured. This still
leaves the door open for the shipment OF
such goods from one State to another and
their sale i'm any State other than the one in
which they were manufactured. The Hep
burn bill closes this door. 1t has nothing to
do with the sale OF adulterated foods o.
wines in the State where they are manufac-
tured. as that belongs 20 State legislation,
but il prohibits theh shipment into other
States. Under it the shipment of every
form of adulterated or falsely labeled food
or wine can be stopped. and those who are
engaged in the business can be driven out
Of it. The business is carried on to a far
greater extent than most persons are aware
Of. and the country is flooded with impure
foods and wines which in many instances
could not be placed on sale in the States
where they are manufactured.
A conference of pure-food representatives
from many States and of large manufacture
ing interests which met in Washington last
fall adopted memorial asking Congress to
pass this bill. 1t passed the House last ses-
sion but failed to get through the Senate. AS
il has now passed the House again early in
the session, il is to be hoped il may pass the
Senate and become a law. Public policy
public health and public morals demand the
enactment of such a law.
