Federal Government Now Working With
Energy to Reform Law.
Washington, August 24- Inspection
of imported food products, as carried
out under the bureau Of chemistry Of
the department Of agriculture, has be-
come work Of large scope. In the
two years that it has been under way
it has done wonders in the way Of ex.
Guiding adulterated articles Of food and
drink and in forcing the honest labelling
Of articles manufactured abroad and
sent here
More than hundred shipments Of
food products have been shut out. Sew.
eraI hundred products have been found
with misleading labels. Many more
cases are now pending on appeal. What
Is Of more Importance, importers with
few exceptions are now endeavoring to
bring into the United States only such
food articles as are legally entitled to
admission They have learned to respect
the policy Of the department Of agTi-
culture.
The system Of inspection, after much
labor on the part Of the head Of the
bureau Of chemistry, DR.. H. W. Wiley,
and DR.. ". d. Bigelow Of the food
laboratory, backed up by Secretary Will
son, has at length, after various trials,
been made permanent. For the most
part it is now run on the lines that will
hereafter be followed.
The first laboratory for the inspection
OF food products at a leading port was
established at New York about a year
ago. This was followed by laboratories
at San Francisco, Chicago and Boston,
| Another laboratory viii be opened at
Philadelphia within a few days, and this
win be followed BY one in New Orleans.

Of sudden realization by the Kansans
mat the Standard had been playing in
Their territory a game so years old,
playing it under their very noses so
quickly and deity that, keen as they
pride themselves on being, they had not
realized its meaning until they began to
feel the pressurel"
The story Of the Standards attempt
TO gobble the Kansas oil field is the his
tory Of It's earlier practical aggressions
repeating itself, but with a different end
ing In Kansas it encountered new
brand Of public spirit, and went into the
contest with this enlightened and electric
commonwealth, handicapped by its past
sins; but for a while, until public SEN
timent was aroused Standard Oil had
everything its own way.
Miss Tarbell tells in the September
number what Standard OIL did To Kan
sas, how it came into the state after
fortunes had been sunk in locating the
oil, and BY the operation of It's Wild,
well.tned iuggernaut, the railroad rate,

CHANGES
Action in the Senate is Con-
Sidered Necessary.
A PECULIAR SITUATION.
Mitchell, Now Under Indictment, Is the
Chairman on canals-He Has
Always Been Opposed
to Panama
A PECULIAR SITUATION.

Washington, August 24.-Administra-
ton leaders here have discovered that
the first step towards safeguarding their
position in Congress must be the organ
ization of the Senate committee on inter-
oceanic canals Of which John II. Mitchell
Of Oregon, who has been convicted Of
land frauds and is now under sentence,
is chairman, He always has been Bit
terly opposed to the Panama route and
III favor Of Nicaragua and his original
pormotion to the Craftsmanship Of the
committee will be recognized at this time
as highly improper but senatorial cour-
tesy, based on seniority, prevailed. He
dislikes Roosevelt heartily. and If he
should succeed in getting cleared OF the
otfenses charged, through some higher
court, and so should get back to his
work in the Senate, he would doubtless
Join with the Democrats in making in
vestigations of the Panama affair, which
would be decidedly uncomfortable for
the Republicans. Mr.. Hanna rescued
this committee a few years ago, when
he brought about the displacement Of
John T. Morgan from its Craftsmanship,
that legislation relating to the Panama
route might by in sympathetic hands.
The need of reseuing the committee
again will be pressing, when Congress
meets.
Legislation making Panama canal
bonds available as security for national
bank circulation at the same rate Of
taxation as other twos Is necessary, if
the work is to proceed properly Other
acts should be passed.
Mitchell took no part in the work Of
the Senate after his Indictment, and
this may account for the failure Of
canal legislation last winter. But the
Senate did not put anybody in his place,
as it viii seemingly be compelled to
40 now. The old Nicaraguan fight Is
apparently to break out anew, but too
late to accomplish anything.
