Inspection Of imported food products.

chemistry of the department of agricul-
ture, has become work of large scope.
In the two years that it has been under

excluding adulterated articles of food
and drink and in forcing the honest la
being OF articles manufactured abroad
and sent here.
More than a hundred shipments of
food products have been shut out. Seve-
raj hundred products have been found
with misleading labels. Many more
cases are now pending on appeal. What
is of more Importance, importers with
lew exceptions are now endeavoring to
bring into the United States only such
food articles as are legally entitled to
admission. They have learned to re-

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 leading port was
established at New York about wear

at San Francisco, Chicago and Boston.
Another laboratory will be opened at

A Letter from FIR. FarIow.

Editor of CALIFORNIAN:
In your issue OF the 23rd there 40.
peared report ofan address by the Rev.
G. S. Mills, containing the following
statement: "In cultured New England it
cpoor humanity makes its sacred pil.
grimages to woman's shrine, and vir.
tually dei6es her new mother of the
art of turning nonsense into gold"
l assume that the gentleman refers to
the worthy leader OF the Christian
Science movement, and l hasten to re.
mind him OF his misapprehension of this
good woman's motives and deeds. In
the first place, Mrs. Eddy has ne shrine
and there are no shrines in connection
with the Christian Science movement.
Moreover, Christian Scientists do not
defy their leader. If they did they
would be practicing contrary to Mrs.
Eddy's teaching and contrary to her own
personal desire. The DELEGATION of a
mortal would be impossible in Christian
Science. Mrs. Eddy's followers have the
utmost respect for her and love her for
the good she has done, but they worship
the one true God, the infinite Spirit.
Mrs. Eddy has never accepted any trib-
ute money from her church. She has
no income whatever except from the sale
OF her books, and interest on some of her
money.
Yours sincerely,
ALFRED FARLow.

A Vacation on Foot.

The following from the Burlington
Free Press of recent date will have a
local interest as the ladies in the party
are well-known St. Johnsbury people:
Rev. and Mrs. J. c. Alvord of Woon-
socket, R. l., who are making an exten.
sive pedestrian tour of this state and
New Hampshire, stopped over Sunday,
Aug. ID, at the Waitsfeld House. They
started on their long walk from Fitz-
william, N. H., and after making the
ascent OF Mt. Monadnock tramped
across the state and entered Vermont at
Windsor, where they climbed Ascutney
mountain. They then walked to st.
Johnsbury, where they were Joined by
Misses Marion and Dorothy Fairbanks,
sisters of Mrs. Alvord, and contin-
ued their journey to Stowe. There the
party made the ascent of Mt. Mansfield,
from there went to Duxbury and climbed
Cancels Hump. They reached Waits
field on Saturday afternoon, having
walked some $50 miles. Mr.. and Mrs.
Alvord have in recent years taken SINH
lar tours in England and France and
other European countries but they "al-
low" that they have nowhere found finer
scenery than in the Green Mountain
State"
Commenting on this news item the
Barre Times says:
Walking as a vacation does not appeal
very strongly to many people, so the in
formation that four persons-one man
and three women-are traversing hun
dred miles or so through Vermont Just |
for recreation, will be put down as a |
crazy fad by most people. Yet these
people, two of whom are residents of the
state, are most enthusiastic over their
trip, and state that they intend to pass
many more vacations in the same unique
manner. They have recently made the
ascent OF Mount Mansfield and Camel's
hump and have now arrived in Rutland,
after an overland trip. Before they get
back to the world OF stuffy railway cars
and equally stuffy people, these pedes.
Trans intend to visit the mountain peaks
n the southern part of the state. Strange
as this form of vacation may appear to
most people, it is yet one OF the delight
ul, as we'll as one of the most beneficial.
The pedestrians have an opportunity of
7iewing the real beauties of Vermont, in
he best possible light, while they are at

The Role of the President.

The Springfield Republican, which has
long been at odds with the President 4
Philippine and naval policy and which
has frequently berated him for talking
so much, now comes forward with a
splendid tribute to his diplomacy and
craftsmanship which we are glad to
give to our readers. Under the caption,
"The Role of the President" the Repub.
lican says:
1t has been perfectly clear, from the
mere superficial aspect Of events, that
the President has been playing some role
in connection with the Portsmouth
conference that was not marked out in
advance, but just what the role is may
not be easy to determine in the absence
Of that full information which the public
still lacks. There is an immense popular
curiosity concerning Mr.. Roosevelt's
performance, which is Enthusiastically in
the direction of the conclusion of peace,
and the theories offered to account for
his activity run over the whole field of
speculation.
In consequence of so peculiar a situa-
ton the President becomes an interna-
tional figure OF supreme prominence, and
the first thing to be observed in relation
to his position at the present moment
is his diplomatic and official isolation at
home. There is no secretary of state at
his elbow; Mr.. Roosevelt throughout
this highly interesting episode is his own
foreign minister. He has not even
single member of the cabinet at his side.
Alone at Oyster Bay, with Secretary
Root lost in the wilderness of Labrador,
with no one OF loftier rank than stenog.
rapher to consult, the President of the
United States has been concentrating the
attention of all mankind by his attitude
toward the peace conference which was
summoned in his name. That such
situation is exceptional need not be
emphasized. 1t is referred to because it
is so unusual. William had his Bis
marck, and even Napoleon had his
Talleyrand. William II is never without
his Buelow. But Mr.. Roosevelt stands
absolutely alone, and is directing the
foreign affairs of the state from an emf
nence as solitary as that which Cromwell
himself occupied in the days OF dictator.
ship. No one can contemplate the mans
serene confidence, genius for vigorous
initiative and absolute selfreliance with
out admiration; and these qualities
must forever command the homage OF
his countrymen, whatever may be the
outcome OF the present negotiations.
Apparently we see President Roosevelt
at his best in the chapter OF history now
making. He seeks the conclusion of
peace with all the zeal and verve that he
displays in any undertaking that en-.
crosses his mind. The cause enobles
him beyond compare, and the figure he
presents to the imagination in this hour,
when the balance trembles and the
anxious world awaits the result with
quickly alternating hope and fear, is a
superb illustration of the glory that may
be won, not by the warriors, but by the
peacemakers.

What Constitutes Individual Dis
honesty.

EDITOR CALIFORNIAN
The divine law of righteousness as
given in the Old Testament reads, "Thou
shalt love thy neighbor as myself"
This law was emphasized by Jesus the
Christ, and he supplemented it by the
Golden Rule Therefore all things
whatsoever ye would that men should
do to you, do ye even so to them; for
this is the law and the prophets" A
law so plain that child can understand
it; so positive that no true follower of
Christ can be, or will desire to be misled.
A law il obeyed by all, would bring
peace on earth, and good will to men,"
and His Kingdom would come and His
will be done in earth as it is in heaven"
Obedience to this law by any person
would constitute individual honesty, and
therefore disobedience or a failure to
obey must ofnecessity constitute iudivid-
ual dishonesty.
That momentous fact cannot be evad.
ed, or explained away.
Men may say that it is impossible to
obey that command; that business
could not be successfully conducted by
that rule, but God never made law that
could not be obeyed; and every law of
His will bring the greatest and best
to all who are obedient. No
person wishes to be called dishonest, but
can he escape that appelation if he fails
to obey the Golden Rule? 1t matters not
whether he conducts business which is
harmful to his fellow men; or a legiti.
mate business contrary to the Golden
Rule; whether he personally conducts a
business, or is associated with others.
where the principles of the Golden Rule
are violated, he is dishonest man &C.
cording to the law of God; and Though
ne gives all his goods to feed the poor,
and though he gives his body to be
burned, it will profit him nothing" The
stigma OF dishonesty will still cling to
him, and can never be erased till he
+epents and brings forth fruits meet for
repentance.

Cabinet Members Not to Make Cam
 paign Speeches Outside.

Washington, Oct. 10.-Informal but serious consideration was given to the subject of the participation of mem bers of the cabinet In local campaigns at the meeting to-day. It had been an nounced that several members of the cabinet would take par in the cam paign iql Ohio and in other states, and the wisdom of their doing so was ques- tioned. The president himself let it be understood that inasmuch as he had declined to be drawn into political con- troversies, he doubted the propriety # cabinet officers, who are representatives of the administration, speaking in cam paigns in behalf of individual candi- dates, unless, indeed their participation in canpaigm work should be confined to their own states. In view of this discussion, although no definite decision was reached, it is quite probable that with the probable exception of Secre- tary Shaw, who has made some definite engagements the members of the cabi- net will confine their campaign speak ing to their own states. Secretary Taft very likely will speak in Ohio; Secretary Bonaparte in Maryland and Attorney General Moody in Massachu- setts but it is not probable the partic- ipation of cabinet members in state campaigns will go farther than that.

Violation of New Corrupt Practices Act
 Charged in Waterbury.

Waterbury. Oct. 1O.-The announce ment was made this afternoon that proceedings will be begun tomorrow, under the new corrupt practices act. against William H. >SandIand, the suc- cessful candidate for city clerk at the recent city election. Mir. sandland, who was the only republican elected, defeated John H. Crary, the democrat ic nominee, who ran about 800 votes be- hind his ticket. It is alleged that a promise made by MT. Sandland to name John F. Hackett as assistant city clerk in the event of his own election con- tributed to this result quite largely. It is asserted by Mir. Crary's friends that the promise constituted violation of the corrupt practices act. E. ....*.
 MT. Sandland admits that he made the promise, but asserts that 1t consti- tuted no violation of the act, because the act provides that a candidate may publicly announce his own choice or purpose in relation to any appoint ment," etc. Mir. Sandland says that he made no secret of the promise.

POINT FOR B 4. COUNCILS
May Draw from General Fund to In-

Boston, Oct. 1O.-A decision whereby the subordinate Royal Arcanum coun- cile may draw from their general fund for the purpose of Investigating the in- creased rates of the organization was annannounced to-day by the legal com mittee of the National Executive Com mitree of the Associated Councils of the Royal Arcanum. The question was raised as to whether the subordinate councils could use general fund money for the purpose of legal action against the new rates, ordered to be effective October 1, by the supreme council. The legal committee finds that if the hold ing council is convinced, from the large number of suspensions and withdraw als, that immediate steps should be taken to examine into the legal situa- tion. with view to protect the order from gradual dissolution and large loss of membership, it is clearly within the power of the council to use it's funds for such a purpose.

DETECTIVE FRYE REDUCED
WILL NOV DO DUTYAS 4 GRADE
 APATRoLMAM

Commissioners Heard Charges Made
 by Mrs. Simmons Last Night-Clmimed
 He Used Her RoughIy--Fau Police j Inspection to he Held On November
 1O-Estimates Are Approved.
 At the special meeting of the police [ commissioners held last evening Detec- tive Frey was found guilty of conduct unbeconing an officer and was reduced to the rank of a grade A patrolman. He will start on his new duty tonight at station No 4, where he is thorough ly familiar with the territory which he formerly covered both as a patrolman and as 8 roundsman. Instead of meet ing at s, o'clock, the regular time, the commissioners met at 7so'clock last night so as not to have a repetition of last weeks lengthy meeting. s.@
 Detective Frey's case was first dispos- ed of. The complaint on which the de- tective was tried was made by Mrs. Charles Simmons colored woman, who resides at 1,320 chapel street. Mrs. Simmons complained of the Urea tment given her by Detective Frey on the evening of August 2S last. She was walking along the street with dog when the detective came up, she claims, and grabbed her by the arm, at the same time demanding to know where she got the dog.
 The detective was looking for a dog I1rl7 oh I,o1 a~fn vrr1,s swered the description of the animal, which she had with her, so the detec- tive took her to the station house. There it was found that the dog be- longed to Mrs. Simmons and was not the one the detective was looking for, so she was allowed to go Mrs. Sim mons claimed that the officer used her roughly and this Detective Frey de- nied.
 Detective Frey was appointed a po- licernan in 1892 and six years ago was appointed wardman at station Mo- 4. Four years ago he was appointed a de- tective and had been one ever since. A | number of his fellow officers called at detective headquarters last night after the verdict had been rendered by the | commissioners and expressed their sor- row at parting with him after their many years of service with him as an associate. Detective Frey's specialties while a detective was the handling of gas meter robbery cases and also cases in which colored people were involved, as in the later relationship his long res idence in the colored section of the city had given him a large acquaintance ship. He has made number of arrests since his appointment.
 It was voted to hold the annual fall inspection of the department on Novem. Der 10 at o'clock in the afternoon. The estimates on which the board has been working for some time were last night approved.
