The times dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1903-1914, 1906-03-02

Remember the Congressman is in Con-
gress to represent the people from his
district and If a goodly number of citizens
express their views toyhim, he secures a
very sure guide to duty. Remember also
that the safety of the people is assured
by insisting that the will OF the people be
carried out. and not the Vaccinations OF
the few for selfish Interests
This pure food legislation is a IRE
movement of the people for public pro-
lection. 1t will be opposed only by those
who fatten their pockets by deeeiyinE
and injuring the people. Therefore. II
your Representative in Congress eyades
his patriotic duty hold him to strict &C
countabflity and II necessary demand
equitable and honest service. This is a
very different condition tina when a fac
ton demands class legislation of the Con-
gressman. Several years ago the butte.
interests of the country demanded legis-
ilation to kill the oleomargarine industry
and by power OF organization forced class
legislation really unworthy OF a free
tpeople. Work people wanted beef suet
butter because 1t was cheap and better
than much unclean milk butter, but the
dairy interests organized and forced the
legislation. The law should have pro-
vided that pkgs-, Of Eeleomargarine bear
the statement of Ingredients and then let
people who desire purchase 1t for lust
what 1t is. and not try to XIII 1t by Il
heavy tax. Manufacturers sometimes try
to force measures in their own interests
but contrary to the interests OF the peo-
pie and the labor trust is always active to
push through bills drafted in the interest
OF that trust but directly contrary to the
interests of the people as a whole. Wit
ness the antf-injunction bill by which
labor unions seek to tie the hands of our
courts and prevent the issue of any order
to restrain the members of that trust,
from attacking men or destroying pro-
perry. Such n bill is perhaps the most
Infamous insult to or courts and tho
common people ever laid before Congress
n the Representatives in Congress must
be held to a strict accountability for their
acts relating thereto. But when bills
come before Congress that are drawn in
the interest of all the people they should
receive the active personal support of tho
people md the representatives be in
structed by the citizens. The Senator's
also should be written to and instructed.
II, therefore, you will remember your
privilege and duty you will at once-now
write to your Congressman and Senator
on this pure food bill. Clip and enclose
the copy herewith presented and ask
them to MAKE a business of following it
through the committee considering 1t.
Urge Its being brought to n vote and re-
questing that they vote for 1t.
Some oppressively Intelligent and carp
Ing critic may say this is simply an adj
vert!sement for Postum and Grape-Nuts.
It Is true that these articles are spoken
OF here In a public manner. hut they
are used as Illustrations of a manufac-
turer seeking by example, printing on
each pkg. a truthful exact statement of
ingredients. to shame other makers into
doing the fair thing by he common peo-
pie, and establishing an era OF pure food.
but that procedure has not vet forced
those who adulterate inc deceive to
change their methods hence this effort to
arouse public sentiment and show a way
out OF the present condition of fraud, de-
ceit and harm.
