MEANS or PURE FOOD ENFORCEMENT

MEANS OF PURE FOOD ENFORCEMENT.
One thing yet remains since the
formulation of the departmental reg
ulations under the pure food law in
order to secure it's full benefits to the
people, namely, financial provision by
congress for strict enforcement The
law itself is drastic in its salient re-
quirements for protection against
fraudulent and impure drugs, foods
and drinks, so far as they enter into
interstate commerce, but it goes still
further in comforting discretionary
power upon the heads of the Depart
ments of Agriculture, Commerce and
Treasury in the matter of regulations.
IT is agreed by experts and all who
have studied the subject that these
discretionary powers have been most
scrupulously employed to carry out
the spirit and main provisions of the
law, and that the regulations, if con-
gress supplies adequate means, will
verify prevent the banned commodi-
ties from being carried from state to
state.
The regulations, however, will not
enforce themselves, and Secretary
Wilson, whose zeal for enforcement
is as great as for strict regulations.
will ask congress for S25O,000 for
that purpose from January l to June
80, and $75O,OO0 for the next fiscal
year. Ii is credibly reported that
precisely at this point will be made
the next great opposition effort of the
wealthy and powerful interests which
fought first to defeat the enactment
of the law end has now been so thor
oughly defeated in the effort to Sc
cure weak and loose departmental
regulations. Their very stringency
and efficiency, which is as well known
to those who are hostile to pure food
as to those who want 1t, will natur-
ally stimulate energy to defeat the
necessary appropriations by congress,
the sole thing now lacking within the
jurisdiction of national authority to
make the means of honest and whole
some subsistence a fact.
While the possibility of real dan
ger may seem inconceivable, yet the
selfish interests involved are most for
midable, and the public sentiment
that has sustained the movement for
pure food and honest commerce so far
ought not at this critical stage to fail
to assert itself. Such assertion in
favor of adequate appropriations by
congress will also operate powerfully

BANKERS AND CURRENCY REFORM


For the improvement of our con-
fessedly defective currency system any
proposal representing the mature and
general judgment of the bankers of
the country would be entitled to and
would receive most serious consldera-
ton, But whatever may be said of
the plan prepared by the legislative
committee of the American Bankers
association for national bank issues of
credit money, either as a whole or in
its separate features, it does not come
with the prestige of substantial agree
ment even of the associations mem
bership nor as system evolved by
thorough discussion. On the contrary,
the committees report instantly pro-
duced a babel of protests, and after a
brief hour of debate the association
signalized its differentiation by again
shunting the whole business off onto
special committee.
This is only way. although a signi-
flcant one, of confessing on the part
OF the associated bankers that they
as body have yet no plan to suggest
to cure currency evils. particularly in
the point of inelasticity, of which they
are necessarily and loudly complain
ing. The currency schemes proposed
are indeed innumerable, but they
come principally from individuals,
special interests and localities, and no
two of them agree in. substance or in
detail. All the proposals that have
had the greatest vogue, few having
received considerable endorsement in
one quarter or another, and even hav-
ing been pressed in congress. have
also been strongly criticised and re-
sisted in banking circles. 1t is not
easy to move congress to remedial
currency legislation save under pres
sure of great emergency, but with
bankers themselves in palpabe dis
agreement, to say nothing of lack of
general public judgment on divers
conflicting plans that are most agi-
tated, they cannot reasonably expect
practical results.
The various propositions in the
scheme suggested by its legislative
committee to the association, how
ever, will serve to stimulate discus
sion. although like other schemes. the
discussion is likely to remain more or
less academic. Nor is the removal of
that handicap probable in the near
future unless the bankers of the coun-
try can bring themselves to substantial
unanimity or some great peril to bust
ness, of which there is now no serious
portent, should move congress to
action, which, however, would as here
tofore represent general public rather
than special banking thought and in

CARNEGIE hero REWARDS.

The distribution of Carnegie medals
and pecuniary rewards for heroic acts
may stimulate the newspaper para
graEher to sarcasm and gaiety, and
not unlikely inequity and absurdity
may afford ground for criticism in
some cases, but, nevertheless. the eff
feet upon the whole is beneficial Ger
tainly no act .of,true heroism is caused
by hope of money reward, nor will a
true hero, though he properly may re-
ceive the marks and benefits pro-
vided by the Carnegie benefaction, be
apt to flaunt them or otherwise be a
self-advertiser.
1t is also true that only few
among the great total of heroic acts
that are performed can receive the
benefit of such formal provision, and
that even the selection of those few
may seem capricious The accidental
world is inherent Circumstances de-
termine largely the notoriety of any
exploit of heroic devotion. Where the
deed of one who saves another from

is bazoned to the world, equal self
sacrifice has been shown by a thou.
sand, although without the worlds
knowledge. The reward of fame and
public approval thus is as fortuitous
as that of honorary medal or more
substantial need.
But reward in the one form as well
as in the other serves a useful pur-
pose as an educational influence bear
ing upon the nobler impulses. These
are exalted and strengthened by spe-
cial, even though in large part acct
dental, recognition of representative
acts of heroic self-sacrifice. In their
representative character indeed con-
sists their whole significance.

sELF-DEFENsE AND UNwRIrrEN Law

SELF-DEFENSE AND UNWRITTEN Law.
A false and dangerous impression
is created by confusing the right of
self-defense with the unwritten law"
as is frequently done and as an Ohio
Judge has actually just done from
even to the extreme of homicide, If
clearly necessary, arises from the
written law, and not the unwritten
law. The statutes of every state in
the union recognize and define the
right, and any man who Stays to save
his life from felonious destruction,
the peril being obvious, is justified by
the law.
The case is utterly different from
private vengeance. for whatever
cause, even the one crime" or from
lynching in any form. These and
similar practices are what has been
viciously styled the unwritten law"
and what 1t is sought to extenuate
by CHASING with justifable homicide
in self-defense or in other conditions
specified by law. But all these prac-
tees are unlawful and are punishable
as crimes and are in fact the very es-
sence of outlawry.
The deceitful and pernicious soph-
ism of the phrase, the unwritten
law" turks in the term law" which
CLOSES an act of substantive and
specific crime SO written on the statute
book The courts wisely regard with
suspicion ard scrutinize with caution
even the plea of self-defense under
the law lest it be carelessly or felon-
iously abused.
