Pure Food Laws.

In no state has the campaign for pure
food been wagnd more intlustriously and
effectively than in New Jersey. Its
first pure food law vas passed i'm 1901.
and in it's provisions closely followed
that of Massachusetts. At first the
enforcement of this law was in charge
of the state board of health, but the
work regarding the purity of drugs and
foods became SO important that the
next Legislature created special State
department to carry it on. At the head
of this department is chief inspector
with four assistants. There are numer-
Gus local inspectors for the various
towns and cities who closely watch the
articles known to be liable to adulter-
alton. There is a state labOrat tory
maintained in Trenton, where a careful!
analysis is made of all suspected
articles. Last year. there were ex-
anined at this laboratory, 1926 sus-
pccted articles. and the percentage Of
aduiteration was found to be in case
of foods. (milk and its products ex-
cepted) 1863. and in case OF drugs the
percentage of adulteratiOn was 437. OF
course these figures are not to be taken
as indicating the actual proportion OF
adulteration of food PRODUCTS as u
whole, for the articles selected for ex-
animation were those most frequently
adulterated. During he year the state
collected $500 in fines from violators.
AS result of the vigorous enforce
ment of its pure fool laws, the citizens
of New Jersey are much more certain
than those of most states as to what
they eat and drink. and the result. Of
course. is not only conducive to a better
peace of mind but also to better health.
The wholesale adulteration of foods and
drugs is something which our govern
ment cannot always fail to deal with.
State laws, vigorously enforced as those
in New Jersey, are all very well. but a
national law, uniform in all parts Of
the country would be much better and
cannot be put in force too soon. This
matter is of vital Importance and our
people should be aroused to insist on
action by Congress. Such q bill has al
ready passed the House, CITY to die in
the Senate.

r.. Return Of III. Pre.idert.

President Roosevelt is back again i'm
Washington. Undoubtedly he Is great
ly refreshed and invigorated by his
months outing and ready to tackle the
great amount of work which has ac-
cum,ilated during his absence. 1t Is
matter Of congratulatiOn that his 5000
mile journey across the continent and
back, including. as it did, an extended
hunting trip into the wilds of the
Colorado mountains. was wholly with
out accident or mishap of any kind.
There are so many dangers involved In
long railway journey, however great
the precautions taken, and SO many
dangers involved in hunting big game.
however experienced the sportsman,
that the country breathes more freely
now that it's beloved and honored Chief
Executive is back at the national
capital. Everybody rejoices that he
enjoyed his outing and that he returns
in such splendid health from his jour-
pey across the continent and back.
Wherever the people had chance to
meet him they showed by their
demonstrations how close he is to the
popular heart. Even rioting Chicago
was peaceful for day while all united
in paying honor to the distinguished
visitor. Incidentally, it is to be OBJ
served that his words to the strikers
regarding law and order were of a kind
to make them cringe and to win the
applause of good citizens all over the
country.
There will be a great amount of pub
lie business to engage the President
for a time at Washington and during
his summer sojOurn at Oyster bay. The
Venezuelan tangle, the Western land
frauds, the railroad rebate cases. the
trust Investigations, and the an
nounced determination of Germany to
exclude this country from the benefits
of reciprocity treaties after March 1st.
1906, are some of the many matters
which involve difficult problems. to
which President Roosevelt will have
to devote immediate attention. His
speeches in Denver and Chicago indi-
Gated that his outing replenished his
stock of aggressiveness and gave him
renewed energy to deal with the va
rious problems confronting him. In
connection with his return to Wash
ington, it is not out of place to OBJ
serve that Secretary Taft has done a
splendid job in holding down the lid
during the Presidents absence. With
the President in the West, and Secre-
tary Hay in Europe, Secretary Taft as
the next highest cabinet office has been
pretty much the head of the govern-
ment for Il month. and all agree that
he was master of the situation at all
times.

Arbor Day too Little Observed.

A Western paper recently SAID mat
although Maine has the largest per-
centage of forest acreage i'm the Union
more attention is paid to Arbor Day
here than elsewhere. We fear this is
a mistake. that the people of Maine
have not been SO much interested In
the proper observance of the day as
would have been profitable to them. 1t
is not to be doubted that the inroads
which have been made upon our for
ests are menace to our future pros
perity. To avert that menace there is
a call for action on the part Of individ-
uals in all sections of the State.
