10 the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: The impression which your recent report con-
eerning what DR. r. f. DooltttIe said to the women
of the Health Protective Association about adul-
teration hardly seems fair to American merchants
The actual amount of true adulterating that is

made to improve the keeping quality of foods to
improve their appetizing quality and to suit them
to the tastes and desires of customers Little or

the meaning OF the word "adulterate" so that it
will cover everything that individual dislikes

PURPOSE OF THE xIvTH AMENDMENT.
Some Legal Opinions That Throw Light on
It's Interpretation.
. Of The Tribune

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In view of the fact that there seems to be
some doubt in the minds of many persons as 10
the efficacy of the Fourteenth Amendment to the
Federal Constitution. which is now being discussed
in connection with the question of reducing South-
representation in Congress, perhaps MI. Jusuce
Miers analysis of that amendment may throw
some light upon the subject. He says: 1T Is the
purpose of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Con-
sttution, by the simple declaration that no State
should make enforce any law whlch ShaH
abridge the privileges and immunites OF citizens
Of the United States TO transfer the security and
protection of all the civil rights of the citizen to
the federal government, and where it is declared
that Congress shall have power to enforce that
article it intended to bring within the power
of Congress the entire domain of civil rights here
tofore belonging exclusively to the States
In the OF the Pensacola Telegraph Company
the following opinion concurred in by Justices
Clifford. Strong, Bradley, Swayne and Miller, viz
that the government of the United States within
the scope of its power operates upon every foot
of territory under its jurisdiction; legisates for
the whole nation and is not embarrassed by State
lines.
In another case. Tenn. agt. Davis 100 U. s., 263

eminent, that the United States is a government
whose authority extends over the whole territory

Congress to pass laws to enforce rights conferred
by the Constitution, is not limited the express
powers enumerated in the The
powers which necessary and proper as means
to carry into effect rights expressly given and
duties expressly enJoined are always implied. The
end being given, the means to accomplish 1t are
given also.
The Fourteenth Amendment seems be more
bitterly antagontzed by the South than the sug-
gestion to reduce its representation in Congress
This would seem to indicate that the Southern
people perfectly understand the meaning of that
amendment Only in recent years has it been sub
gect 10 criticism at the hands of lawyers with
little legal reputation to lose who endeavored
TO show that the men who drafted and made into

THE STATEN ISLAND FERRY SERVICE.
Official Declaration That Boats Are Taken
Off Only When Necessary.
the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: 1 noticed a communication from "Marooned,'
published in your paper last Saturday. and an
editorial the following day. that apparently
based upon it, severely crticising the service of
the Staten Island Rapid Transit Railway Com
pany between New-York and st. George.
II you had to meet the difficulties that have been
confronting this company in the operation of the
poats, feel sure that you would take an entirely
different view of the situation. and feel that you
were fortunate if you could give good service
as the company has been able to do. ! am sure
the company would be very glad to have boat
leave New-York for ST. George every five minutes,
If there We're the travel justify it. So the ques
ton Of saving coal does not cut any figure. The
people expect to be protected while they travel
ling on this line, the on any other, and
safety is the only limitation the company places
upon the operation of these boats.
I notice that your editorial complains of people
being detained and considerably inconvenienced
through irregular running of the boats late at
vice possible, the only question mas Deen apouI
running the boats after midnight and making reg
ular trips when the ice was very heavy and the
damage to the wheels. Such damage would cause
the company 10 take the boats out of the service,
and then it would not be able to handle the people
in the day time, when there is rush of travel and
good service is most needed
i am sure you can readily understand that IL Is IL
difficult to operate the boats when the river is full
of ice, and that the service is ne cessarliy more
hampered under such conditions than IN @ InIIo
weather. With safety as the watchword the com
pany authorized the captain in charge OF tuhnlnls
the boats only to abandon such trips as nc thousht
1t was not safe to make.
write to you i'll this way that you may be made
that you will agree with me that the company Is
not to be blamed for doing all it can to protect the
lives of the people that traVsI M&HbE q IS gf sNER
