Discussing the food question, and
the laws made in the interest of pure
food. The Indianapolis Star thinks "the
chief purpose of the pure food move-
ment should be to enable people to buy
precisely what they think they are
buying. If they wish to purchase pure
coffee. for instance. they should have
that privilege not because the chicory
often combined with the ground ber-
ries is injurious, for 1t Is not, being
regarded as an improvement by some
consumers, but because 1t is not cof-
fee. II they desire genuine dairy but
ter they should know that they, are
getting Il. though olemargarine may be
quite as clean and pure and equally
Nutritious II they buy jam they
should have the opportunity to secure
the real fruit product, though glu-
coss and gelatin and fiavoring extracts
that 30 on to the making OF such
articles of commerce are entirely harm
less"
That has all along been the conten-
ticn of The Advertiser. 1t is not that
the articles used in the adulteration of
food products are always hurtful, for
they are not. A Washington scientist.
for example. Is exercised over the fact
that Some bakers use potato flour with
their wheat flour and sell 1t as pure
wheat bread. In this case no harm
can come to the eater. for potatoes are
a. wholesome to most persons as
wheat. yet the purchasers are none
the less swindled because they do not
get what they pay for. 1t Is SO in a
great many other cases. The wrong
Is not In what the purchaser gets but
in what he pays for 1t. A great many
persons Of limited means would be

articles at lower price II they could

patriotism. There IL no repfning be-
cause the cause was lost and no de.
sire to arouse old animosttiss or TO
renew any feeling Of bitterness.
None Of these things enter into the
feelings with which we of the old
South regard the Cause. We honor and
revere and reverence the brave men
who died for It. We love It - we
love the devoted women who did 20
much to hold up the arms OF the Con-
fedsracy. We can honor and love the
name Of Lee without in any manner
reflecting on Grant. We can honor
JEFFERSON Davis without casting any
stone at Abraham Lincoln. The grey
was ours and the cause for which IL
stood was ours. and to them, to those
who wore the one and fought and
died for the other We can be true and
faithful. and loyal while life lasts. We
have no patience with those who
would apologize for the Confederate
cause and those who upheld II any
more than we have with those who
are striving to keep alive in Southern
hearts the bitterness Of the days Of
conflict. The glorious past il ours and
we will do it honor. May the time
never come when Confederate sol
der or his descendants will be ashamed
OF the Lost Cause.

A WRONG view or m.

The Ptftsburg Post quotes a minis
ter as saying that he had never voted
anything but his straight party ticket
and never would" This is a narrow
and illiberal View for any good citi-
zen to hold. II this minister is q Re-
publican and his home lie in Phiiadel-
phia ne will vote "the straight party
ticket" put out by the Penrose regu-
lar Republicans in the interest Of Dur
ham, McNichols and others composing
a gang OF the most unblushing scoun-
drels that ever looted city. Can any
minister reconcile such an act with
the high calling to which he belongs?
We cite the Philadelphia case as an
extreme one, but there are others
where the straight party ticket on one
side means the endorsement of cor
ruption in it's worst forms while the
ticket of the opposite party means
good government and civic honesty. 1t
occurs to US that when the lines be-
tween honesty and dishonesty are
drawn and unmistakable It would be
creditable to q minister to set a good
example by voting for honesty in the
public service.
We can see no reason why a minis
ter of any denomination should not
take part in politics, or why he should
not be a party man, but we can see
good and sufficient reasons why he
should refuse to ally himself with
an organization which he knows to be
corrupt, and why he should refuse to
vote his straight party ticket" when
he can see that by thus voting he
endorses and promotes dishonesty. AS
The Post looks at it. ut Is even per-
haps more incumbent upon them than
upon any other body Of men to scru-
| pulously discharge the duties of good
citizenship. Their voices should al
ways be raised in behalf of honest
government, and their votes be cast
SO as to assist In securing 1t. At prop
er times and in fitting language they
can urge upon the men of their con-
gregations the duty Of exercising their
right of suffrage so as to promote
morality, honesty and economy in pub
lie AFFAIRS. In considering political
questions ministers should take broad
and comprehensive views. and should
not be so infected with craftsmanship
as to make them blind to the real good
of the people"

To the South especially. and sec
ondariiy to the entire country. the con-
struction Of = canal across the 18TH

There are 80 many reasons why q

of the past can that body vote more

something definite and satisfactory
will be accomplished. 1t should not
do so until some definite plan has been
adopted and assurance given that the

Tennyson on Poe.


Baltimore Sun.
The Sun Is indebted to Mr.. N. L. Pat
terson of Chicago, for an interview had
in 1885 with Lord Tennyson, the famous
poet, in regard to Edgar Allen Poe.
After declaring that there was one spot
in Observation-Disclosures ground, a pill
grim shrine. a Mecca OF the mind
which he would like to visit, namely,
the long neglected spot in Baltimore
where the greatest American genius
lies buried" Lord Tennyson added: TN
my opinion, your Bryant, Whittier, ETC.,
are pigmies' compared with Poe. He Is
the literary glory of America. More
than thirty-fve years have elapsed
since his death, and his fame is con-
stantly increasing. That is a true test
of genius"
The Poet Laureate then proceeded to
characterize the Baltimore genius mo
poet" he said, certainly no modern
poet, was so susceptible to the impress
sion of beauty as Poe. He has. all the
Greeks appreciation of beauty and
much of their power of expressing 1t in
Thus speaks the greateh British poet
of tn enineteenth century of the great

Chancellor MacCraken's. The latter
finds Poe wanting in sincerity" of ex-
preston, but of this want Tennyson
was unaware.

The Price Of Shoes.


When the Mckinley tariff caused an
advance in the price of q great many
articles of universal use, and the fab
elections went heavily against the Re-
publicans, Mr.. Blaine explained that
the shopping women did it," They
felt the effect of tariff increased prices
in their daily purchases, and made a
row about 1t" at home. This year the
increased price Of shoes. due altogether
to the advance In the price of trust
controlled and taxation enh HANGED hides
and leather, is being felt throughout
the country. The Shoe Manufacturers
and Jobbers' Protective Association of
New York has taken steps to inform
the public that the rise in the price of
leather. has been such that an advance
in the price of shoes can no longer be
avoided. Not only has the price of
South and Central American hides
advanced from IL to 10 per cent but
domestic hides, controlled by the Beef
Trust, have risen an equivalent of 7
per cent. When the shoe buying women,
and men, too, begin to pay the advance
they will be apt to want to know"
why these articles need to be made
more dear by imposing and continuing
tariff duties that cost the manufactur-
ers of this State alone 100000 a
year, which must be collected in some
manner from the wearers of shoes. Is
not this a good year for the shop

speaks of the recent Confederate re-
union at Petersburg as one of the most
successful ever held. and says that
the veterans organization is larger now
than ever before, adding:
Glory to God. it shows that the
Lost Cause" is still triumphant, and
1t proves that the Lost Cause" was

dishonor or treason, had it not been
the righteous course of "a righteous

Our contemporary is altogether
right. No shade of dishonor attaches
to the cause and every man or wo
man who bore part in it should feel
proud Of 1t and should in every way
contribute to the sacred duty of keep

Occasionally a Contemporary runs
out of any other subject and then It
takes a shy at the angel question. 1t
is always in order, and Is the more
easily discussed because of the fact
that one person knows as much about
1t as anybody else does. Did you ever
see female angel? asks one dispu-
tant. Did you ever see male angel?
retorts the other, and there we are.
Where nothing can be proven or dis
proven 1t is easy to argue. and that
Is the status of the angelic disputa-
ton.
