Protection Against Impure Food

The bill by Representative Laurltsen
of Tyler, which has already passed the
house, extending the authority OF the
state over ''fy -by-night' dealers In
adulterated food products, is designed
TO protect home merchants against dis
honest competition. The legislature
has always been wary of attempting to
interfere with goods shipped into the
state in original packages, in view OF
the many decisions that hold against
interference with Interstate commerce.
However, the Lauritsen bill, we under
stand, has been approved by the rattor-
new general as constitutional measure.
The dairy and food commissioner and
his inspectors are authorized by this
bill to enter railroad cars, depots and
express offices for the purpose OF exam
lining goods shipped from without the
state and designed for human consump-
ton, if it appears to the inspector that
the sale Of such goods is forbidden by
any law now in force as harmful to
health or not true in name.
| manufacturers duu ucdlClo VACA1A OAAO
4 state are not allowed to prepare or
sell foods that are. injurious, adulter-
atedr Or improperly labeled. This is
necessary. police regulation, but it is
unjust to enforce this law strictly
sgainst home business men while un-
scrupulous dealers from outside the
state are allowed to bring in spurious
goods and undersell them. The low
prices made by these dealers are q
temptation to the consumer who does
not understand adulteration and thinks
he is getting an article as good as the
home merchant offers him at a much
lower price. ....
The consumer needs to be protected
against himself and against the ven
doris Of harmful food articles or adul
terated stuff masquerading as pure
The proposed law is in the interests
Of the public health and safety, as wei
as in the interests of established whole
sale and retail dealers.

Pressure for Peace.

The Russian novelist Poushkin says,
in one of his stories:
Heaven save us from beholding a
Russian Instruction, senseless and mer-
CHESS. Those who in our country would
bring about all manner of violent revo-
buttons are either very young men, who
do not know our people, or they are
hard hearted men, who value their own
,necks at groat and other peoples at
less. 49,
Poushkin, if he were in the flesh to-
day, would behold not only an insurrec-
ton on a large scale, but one includ-
ing workingmen Of the manufacturing
industries and a large segment Of the
formidable peasant element, demanding,
not modification Of the autocratic
system, but, it's destruction, and the
substitution of constitutional monarchy.
Not only this, but among the, notice
able Developments is the active par
ticipation, in the movement against the
autocratic system, of capitalists of the
commercial and industrial classes. The
excuses of the insurgent peasantry in
south and west Russia, burning and
plundering estates Of the landed pro-
prietors: and proclaiming their griev-
ances, which are becoming intolerable,
and the industrial strikes and lockouts
together with the hideous disorders in
Russian Poland, ~ accumulated by de-
struction of human life and property
and the accommodating evidence Of the
possession of fighting material secreted
here and there in abundance, and the
marking for death Of distinguished per.
sons by the. militant nihilists- such
conditions make life burden in Russia

HUGO MUNsTERHERe,s VIEW OF
IMMORTALITY NOT NEW.-Hari M
Wagner calls The Uneasy Chairs atten-
ton to the fact that DR.. Hugo Munster
berg's idea of Immortality, as mentioned
in this column recently in connection with
an announcement Of a forthcoming book
by the doctor, is not new. Mr.. Wagner
in part says:
DR., Munsterberg believes that man has eternal

merely to call attention to the fact that this
psychologists, IS not new, for it was fully and
clearly expounded and given to- the world in
1764 by EMANUEL Swedenborg. In his work on
.H6Diyine Providence," paragraphs 20 to SO, he
says in substance: Man does not have eternal
life, because be Is man, but because he has two
| faculties, freedom and nationality, by which he
may acquire an individuality. Without a per.
sonality acquired by the exercise of these two
faculties, man could not have Immortality. This
would seem to argue that only the adult, who
had accomplished things, could be immortal but
is prone to overlook, that everyone who is born
sound Of body and mind, is born with such an
individuality.

Big FIRE in mobile.
FAMOUS BATTLE HOUSE IS EN-.
TIRELY RUINED.
Although an Old Hostelery, Was One
Of the Largest in the south-FIames
Spread Rapidly-AII Guests Es-
caped-city Electric Lights Cut OF
to Save Firemen.

Mobile, Ala, Feb. 14.-Losses al.
ready estimated at $250,00O have been
caused by fire that left the famous
Battle house ruin and swept on to
buildings adjoining.
The fire broke out in some unoccu-
pied rooms over the kitchen of the
Battle house, which, although an old
hostelry, was one of the largest in the
south. The flames spread so quickly
that a number of guests lost all their
belongings and not a few of those on
the fifth floor were compelled to take
to the fire escapes in their night
clothes. Two elevator boys stuck to
their posts until all the guests had
been gotten out, although the elevators
caught fire and the youngsters were
burned about the face and hands.
An hour after the fire started all
the electric lights in the business por-
ton of the city went out, due partly to
the turning off of the power to save
the firemen from danger and partly
to save one of the main feed wires be-
ing broken.
At 3 o'clock the fire was burning
fiercely, the heat thrown on the Com
mercial hotel, adjoining, being intense.
The loss in Battle house will be
$3.50, 900, and William B. lizard, the pro-
prietor, states that half of this is COW
cred by insurance.
One person was killed and several
seriously injured in the Battle house
fire.

SCANDAL IN OREGON
JUDGE TANNER HAS Confessed
TO perjury.
Partner Of U. s. Senator Mitchell Ad.
mlts He Perjured Himself Before
Federal Grand Jury in Connection
With Land Frauds-shady Agree.
nent Between Mitchell and Tanner.

Portland, Ore.-Judge A. H. Tanner
United States Senator Mitchell's law
partner, confessed in Judge Bellinger's
court Saturday afternoon to perjury
in his evidence before the federal
grand jury in connection with the in.
vestigation Of the land frauds in this
state, when testimony was being tax.
en- with a view to connecting United
States Senator Mitchell, now under
five indictments, with the conspiracy
to defraud the government.
Tanners confession shows that there
was business agreement between
Mitchell and Tanner that Mitchell was
to have the proceeds of practice of the
law firm in the federal courts and that
Tanner should have the proceeds re-
sulting from practice before any of the
government departments which would
involve Senator Mitchell's oath de.
claring he would not take part in any
law proceeding in which the govern.
ment is interested.
Judge Tanner made the following
statement to a representative of the

HERMIT GETS A FORTUNE.

Luck Comes to Aged ReeIuse Of Sal.
mon, Idaho.
With all his life behind him, his
70 years of existence bearing the i'm
print of most of life's hardships and
few of its tawdriest pleasures, Edwin
Hurd, an eccentric character and her.
NIT of the hills around about Salmon,
Idaho, is now in possession of for
tune of $4,000 in cash and securities.
Fifty years ago he ran away from
his home in New York. He was the
only son of we'll to do parents. His
was a wild, adventurous spirit. He
finally became remorseful and wanted
to see the old home again. The most
searching investigation failed to re-
veal the whereabouts of father and
mother and he gave up in despair, af-
ter he found the old home in New
York had been sold, his parents remov-
ing to an unknown locality. But all
the time Hurd had been searching
for his parents, his parents. 1t appears,
had been untiringly seeking some
trace of their erring boy. The father
died and left investments that now
have yielded $4,000 in available cash
and valuable securities, constantly en-
HANGING in worth.
Some time ago, firing of his lonely
life, and desiring some one to share
his humble cabin with him, he sought
wife through a matrimonial agency.
The contract was made, and the un-
suspecting woman, arriving late on the
Salmon coach, was led the three miles
through the snow and mud Of the
rough trail to the cabin of the hermit.
Kept there for almost a month she
finally got away, her nerves shatter-
ed by her experience.
At first, when Hurd spread the state
ment of his newly acquired wealth, it
was received with disbelief and many
thought the old man had become Graz
ed by his life. A prominent attorney
of Salmon took charge of his affairs
and the true condition of his estate
was brought to light.
Hurd's right to the fortune has been
indisputably established.
