The Presidents Grandfather.

1t is an almost forgotten fact that Presi-
dent Roosevelt's grandfather was the first
man to navigate steamboat on the Ohin
and Mississippi rivers. Capt. Roosevelt
was close personal friend of Robert Full
ton, inventor of the steam craft. Soon after
Fulton's successful voyage on the Hudson
the captain conceived the idea of launching
such craft on what were then Western
was launched at Pittsburg and the Presi-
dents grandfather began his voyage to the
Gulf. He entered the Mississippi during
the throes of the earthquake which devas-
tated SO much of southeastern Missouri.
but weathered the tumult successfully and
continued his trip to New Orleans.

FEES VS.. SALARIES.
Report of the Special Committees of the
Last Legislature.

Report of the Special Committees of the
Last Legislature.
When the Legislature assembled Jan.
18th the report of the special committee
of the last Legislature to investigate
the fee system and to make recon-
mendationS for the adjustment of fees
and placing State Snd county officers Oh
salaries was received together with the
necessary bills. The report was laid on
the table for printing. SO far as State
officers are concerned the committee
recommends that the salary of the at
torney general be fixed at $4,000, ex-
elusive of fees and other emoiuments
and that an assistant be created, though
no salary is suggested. The salary and
fees of the attorney general for three
years amounted to the following: 1901
s6325; 1902, $1,000; 1903, S1640. This in
Ill addition to a salary OF $1,000 and ex-
penses of $500.
The salary of the secretary of State
IS placed at $4,000 This official received.
In addition to d salary of $500, fees in
1901 of 5000; 1902, $685.: 1903 S3945.
In the case of other State officers the
committee recommends that the
salaries of the insurance commissioner
be $4,000 and his deputy 1920 and
actual expenses; bank examiner $1,000
and his expenses; fish and game com
mission chairman, $500 and commits
sloners, $1,000; clerk of State assessors,
$1,000 instead of $1,000 as now; land
agent, $500; members of executive
council, $500 day and actual ex-
penses.
Following are the salaries recon-
mended for Waldo County officials:

USE OF PASSES.
The committee referred to the use of
passes by public officials and the charg-
ing by them of transportation expenses
to the State, The committee did not
condemn the pass system but said that
the officials should not profit by a lree
pass at the expense of the people. The
committee recommends that all officials
entitled to be reimbursed for expenses
shall make an itemized report which
shall be sworn to- The report says the
logical result of its passage may be the
repeal OF all provisions of law granting
a high rate of mileage to some public
officials, including members of the Leg
iSlature.

A Foolish Moral.

A writer to the Boston Record
saws that the moral of Nan Patter-
sons case seems to be that any wo-
man who leads a good life is very
foolish. He draws this moral
from the facts that while many
good women suffer unaided from
want and privation, this one, wiley
immoray' and 'probably" muir
deress, is flooded with offers OF
money and marriage
No thinking person can, of course,
draw any such conclusion from
these statements. Some persons,
even with immortality or other grave
faults, have kindly qualities which
upright, lack these qualities. Then,
too, there is always the silly adula-
ton which public froth lavishes upon
notoriety in any form. This adulation
is tickle, fleeting worthless-the out
growth of a kind of emotional in
sanity. Nan Patterson may be guilty
to a greater or less degree, but she is
no subject for envy. or pattern, for
good women"-even those who suf
fer want, with no hand stretched out
to help them"
The flaw in the writer's moral
conclusion rests in the fact that
goodness and badness, while they
may have material influences, reach
into eternity for their real value and
meaning. The character which a
good woman prizes as the one
thing she can depend upon, is not
affected by offers of money and
any more than it is by
want and privation.

Wanted-A New Excuse!
1The Commoner.1

A few months ago the cotton mill
owners of Fall River reduced the
wages of their employees even below
the starvation point, offering as a
reason that the high price of cotton
made it imperative that expenses be
reduced. The reduction was the
second or third within the year, and
left the average wage in the i'm
mediate neighborhood of Sc a week.
The employees in sheer desperation
struck against the reduction, and so
far have remained firm. Today cot
ton is cheaper than usual. but the
mill owners have not seen fit to offer
a higher wage because of that fact.
This is a matter that tends to ex-
plode the hollowness of the claim
made by the grasping employers at

BRArTLEBoRo, FRIDAY. JAN. IS, 100
Some Startling Revelations.

The recent popular movement
against the adulteration Of food,
drink and medicines has included
some analyses the results OF which
are startling and almost Incredible
DR.. Leon l.. Waters, a noted New
York chemist declares that labels
have come to mean nothing and that
it is nearly impossible to obtain GER
tain articles which are true to their
names. For instance, he says that
cottonseed oil is almost invariably
sold under the designation of pure
olive OIL He adds that the cheap
yinegars contain mineral acid; cocoa
is adulterated with starches, ground
shells and sugar; ground coffee is
duplicated by a mixture of powdered
hogs liver, chicory and coffee es-
sence: maple sugar is made of sugar
syrup and glucose, boiled with maple
wood chips; whiskey is manufactured
from spirits by the use of beading
oils" with various fiavors and caramel
coloring; gin is made by adding OH
to diluted spirits; mustard is loaded
with flour; tincture of Jamaica gin
ger is reinforced with capsicum and
the greater part of our ground
spices are adulterated Worse than
all these he declares that drugs and
medicines are so adulterated that
physicians complain of their failure
in many cases to act as they prop
erly and naturally should.
The Massachusetts, state board of
health has been making some an
alyses of food articles that showed
similar conditions: Pure Vermont
syrup" contained a large admiXtura
of cheap cane sugar; canned peas
were colored green with copper;
lemon extract contained So per cent
of alcohol and one-tenth of one per
cent of lemon oil; vanilla extract was
adulterated with coumaria, and tests
of canned goods, drugs and milk
showed a large percentage of adul-
iteration and inferiority to prescribed
standards.
Vermont has just passed pure
food law and the state laboratory OF
hygiene has already begun the work
of analyzing food offered for sale in
the state. We can not hope that the
results obtained will vary greatly
from those in other states. The evil
seems to have grown to its present
alarming proportions even in COM
munities where good and sufficient
laws existed against it, through the
inattention of an unrealizing public
which has given INSCRIPTIONS ava
rice full swing.
Now that we have law and can
act with other states against this
wholesale undermining of the public
health cowardice and laziness only
need stand in our way. Not all the
authorizations practised are harmful ID
physical health, but many of them
are: and all are dishonest, and NOR
ally deteriorating.
All citizens who discover adulter-
ated products coming under the scope
of the law, should be brave and pub
enough to report them
no matter who is Inconvenience or
offended thereby The danger is a
grave one; and our only hope for re-
lief from it is by every citizens
realizing his personal responsibility
in securing the enforcement of the
law.
Let us know what we are eating
and drinking.

Two vetoes that Vetoed.
TRandolph Herald

Two bills failed to become laws, it
seems, through the nonapproval of
Governor Bell. Both We're passed and
went to him so short a time before
final adjournment that, under the pro-
vision of the constitution relating to
veto, he could defeat them by with
holding his approval. This he did.
They were bills providing for en-
blems on the official ballot and giving
the state board of health authority to
require the installation of sewage sys-
tens in cities, towns or villages hav-
ing public water systems. An execu-
tive veto under such circumstances,
does amount to something. If Gov
ernor Bells action had been antici-
pated, quite likely the versatile legis-
lature would have devised some way
to circumvent him.

mark says:
Isn't it strange that some Ver-
mont politicians are anxious that two
officeholders who have amassed
wealth from the proceeds of their
office should be re-appointed and
given a chance to pile up more dol
lars while the rest of the party carry
the torches and do the cheering?
