PURE FOOD BILL BEATEN

 There was an unusually large attend-
 ance for a eulogy occasion this after
 noon when Senators gave expression to their respect for the memory of the late senior Senator from Massachu-
 setts, George Frisbie Hoar. The mem
 bers of the Senate Judiciary Commit tee were all there. as well as several
 former members who had been in the
 Senate with MT. Hoar. including James
 L. Pugh of Alabama.
 Senator Pettus, who is on the Judi ciary Committee and who had been in- vited to be one of the speakers, re- ferred forcefully and eloquently to the
 public service of the New England po-
 litical leader. In conclusion. Senator Pettus said
 Tt sometimes happens in republics
 like ours. that men affect to care noth- ing for their ancestry and even ridi- cule others who are not of the same disposition. But the American does not live who would not be proud of the 1 fact, if he could truthfully state 1t.
 that his ancestor was a signer of our Declaration of Independence, or served his country faithfully in our revolu- tionary war, and such pride should he cultivated.
 Tt makes patriots and heroes by stirring the ambition of young men to serve their country with all their
 power, in peace or war, and to work so as to become
 well qualified for such service. It cre- ates that spirit of high and heroic
 daring displayed by Englands great
 est admiral at Trafalgar when he ex- claimed Victory or Westminster Ab-
 bey,' and gained the great naval vio- tory and Westminster Abbey on the | same day.
