PURE FOOD LEGISLATION.

Mr.. ]. A. Yerington, Of Chicago, who holds
an important official place in the National
Food Manufacturers Association, arrived in
Washington a few days ago. His mission Is
to avert action by Congress that will be preju-
diciaI to the interests of his constituents. He
has been quoted as saying that the manufact-
urers of the country will oppose any meas
ure which does not limit federal control to
articles which shipped from one state to
another They will also object, he says, to
holding a manufa cturer responsible for adul-
iteration that is discovered after an original
package has been opened.
The first of these demands is reasonable.
The authority Of the national government to
interpose in this matter is derived from its
power to regulate commerce between states
and between this and other countries. So far
as we are aware, the leaders Of this pure food
movement in Congress clearly recognize this
limitation. To secure the passage of any pure
food bill will be difficult at best and 1t would
be unfortunate TO lose all the fruits of victory
through an adverse judicial decision. 1t does
not seem probable that the friends of the cause
will invite defeat Of this kind
Mr.. Yeringtons other proposition is objec-
tionable Mr. Hepburn who is leading the
fight for pure food in the Senate, believes that
the acceptance of it would impair the eff
cheney of the law. If interposit1on by the
national authorities were limited to unbroken
packages, It is probable that a large number
of frauds would go undetected and unpublished.

NO INVASION OF CHINA.

1t is to be hoped that by this time our chronic
administrative report five hundred cats in
our cellar" every time the voice Of solitary
domestic tabhy is heard in the back yard-have
concluded that, after ALL the United States is
not proposing to rush headlong and single
handed into q wanton invasion Of China for
purposes of conquest and annexation. Every
movement Of troops to or in our Philippine pos
sessions has seemed to give them cold shivers
of apprehension lest the Celestial Empire
should be incontinentIy rushed" as though
it were an Indian reservation or a moonshine
camp OF course, there has never been the
slightest intention in any authoritative quar-
ter Of committing any such folly. A military
demonstration against any nation would be IN
dertaken for only the gravest and most iTnper-
alive reasons. and In the case of such power
as China it would be entered upon with the
deliberation and cfrcumspection BETTING so
arduous a proceeding A gunboat and a COM
pany of marines might be enough to deal with
some petty state or tribe. but an invasion of
China to be other than futile and disastrous
would need TO be conducted on a scale Of vast
power and majesty.
The experience of the allied forces in the
campaign against the Boxers is prof1tably to
be remembered. Although the expedition
marched only the short distance inland from
Tien Tsn TO Picking, and although 1t had moth
ing TO deal with but an undiscipIined mob, the
achievement was an arduous and perilous one
Moreover. while it entered the imperial CAPT
tai put the court to flight and dictated terms
10 the government, its impress upon the whole
empire was superficial and temporary if not
practically nil Probably not more than one
Chinaman in hundred has ever heard of the
incident at all. and perhaps not more than one
in a thousand has realized its purpose and
significance. 1t will be recalled that at the
approach of the allies to Picking the Emperor
and Empress Dowager. with their court fed
inland 10 Si-Ngan. in Shen-Si. But did the peo-
pie Of that city and province realize the cause
OF the imperial visit? Not at all. They sup
posed it was made voluntarily, as an i'm
peral progress" intended TO bestow high honor
upon them, and an indication of the peace of
the empire and of the power of its rulers If
such was the result of that international enter
prise, of how little account would be a demon
stration by handful of troops dispatched by
single power
1t is perfectly obvious, at least TO ali save

IMpOSSTBLEi

movement has been started by Assembly
man Foelker, of Brooklyn, among his fellow Re
publican members of the Kings County delega-
ton TO displace ice-Chancellor st. Clair Nc
Kelway from the Board of Regents at the COM
ing election by the legislature and put In his
place Mr.. Thomas P. Peters, Republican editor
of Brooklyn. We do not know that this is being
done with the consent, or even with the knowl-
edge. of Mr.. Peters, who is young Of good
character. ability and agreeable personality,
whom would gladly see clothed with ell ap-
propriate honors. His succession to st. Clair
McKeway under the circumstances, however.
would not be an honor rejecting credit upon him
in the seeking or on the Republican party in
the conferrfng We cannot believe that the Re-
publican majority in the legislature, intent
upon making a good record for the party and
commencing it to the judgment Of independent
citizens, would, even at the unanimous request
of the Republican members from Kings County
if that could be obtained-commit such an in
judicious act
The Educational Department in general has
been, and always should be, kept out Of politics.
1t happens, owing to the long Republican as
tendency in the legislature and the necessity Of
selecting from the old Regents members of the
reorganized board according to geographical dis
tribution, that the body is composed largely Of
Republicans. DR.. McKelway Is one Of the few
Democrats the board, and by all odds the
most widely known With one exception, he Ia
the Regent of longest service. In the absence
abroad Of Mr.. Whiteaw Reid, the Chancellor,
he represents as Vice-Chancellor the educational
interests of NewYork to the general public. He
is a man of distinction writer and speaker,
one whose name carries weight wherever 1t Is
mentioned, and one who has been influential in
the work of the Educa iona1 Department. His
retirement for political reasons, to promote per-
sonal ambitions or to serve local animosides
would generally be considered a serious blow to
the non-partisan operation Of the Educational
Department and a distinct lowering OF the
boards reputation. Having served as Regent
for twenty-three years with great acceptability
to his colleagues and great usefulness to the
state he is entitled to reelection, and his dis
placement would be morally indefensible and
politically foolish. We do not believe that Mr..
Peters, when he understands the situation, will
allow the use OF his name for any such pur-
pose, or that the Kings County organization
under Mr. Woodruff's leadership will lend itself
to the promotion of Mr.. Foelker's plan.
