Our Vermont Pure Food Law.
GBarre Times.

The first workings of Vermonts pure
food law seems to have been satisfactory.
The law provides for the examination Of
all suspected articles at the state labora-
tory, but failed to provide an appropria.
ton, so that all the examinations have
been conducted out of the regular appro-
priation for laboratory work. The scope Of
the examination has therefore been some
what limited, according to the report
just compiled. However. that much has
been done is shown by the fact that a
total OF 287 suspected food articles were
placed under investigation. These in
cluded milk 4S, baking powders 20, spices
and coffee IL, oysters 10, meat 26, con-
fectionery five, drugs nine canned goods
IL, miscellaneous 20, maple sugar 40, bot
tied beverages %, extracts 81. OF the
milk samples ten were below standard
Nearly half the baking powders were
below. The coffees and spices were all
right, while the oysters would have been
II preservatives had not been used. One
third of the meat was condemned, and
two-thirds Of the confectionery. Canned
goods, often suspicious, were only one
third below. The most talked about
article, Vermont maple sugar, came out
well, with only six poor samples out Of
49, 1t was in extracts that the greatest
impurity was found, over one-half being
declared below standard.
1t may be enqufred what good this ex-
animation does. The answer is that after
the first examination the dealers in the
impure goods shall be notified. Then II
another sample shall be taken later and
be found to be impure also, prosecution
may be commenced. In these cases the
examinations were all for the first time.
II, during the year. samples from the
same dealers shall be found to be not up
to the standard, 1t is likely that action
will be taken against dealers for their
failure to discontinue the sale. The peo-
pie are thus given a measure of protec-
ton from the sale Of the combinations
which are foisted upon them by un-
scrupulous dealers and manufacturers.

Senator Dillingham; on immigration.

Washington Cor. OF Boston Transcript. ]
"Our Immigration laws are a great deal
better than most people believe, and on
the whole very we'll administered" re-
marked Senator Dillingham; of Vermont
the chairman of the Senate committee
on immigration, which is preparing a
series of amendments to perfect the
operation OF the existing law; II is upon
these that Mr.. Dillingham; has long been
at work. He has made frequent visits to
Ellis Island to study the actual workings
OF present laws, and to consider in the
presence of the material that was pour
ing In, the plans which had been pro-
posed for strengthening existing statutes,
Il am less disturbed over the lmmigra-
ton situation than / used to be-" con-
tinued Senator Dillingham;. "In every
season OF depression we get very few
immigrants. In 1873 and In 1898 the
stream fell of to small figures, but just as
soon as conditions improve, the newly ar
rived immigrants in this country write
home to their friends that work is pIenti-
full, and the stream OF immigration in
creases again, just at the time when there
is an Industrial demand here for every
healthy industrious person. who cares to
come. The aim with us, it seems to me,
should be to keep out the mentally and
physically defective. The present law is
in the main admirably adapted to these
needs, but 1t calls for some detailed
amendment, mostly in small points in
which the public would not be Interested.
We are preparing a BILL constituting
10 or 20 amendments to the existing law.
In the main these will, IL enacted, give
the department a little broader authority
In regard to those classes Of immigrants
in whom it is not possible TO detect a
really active disease, but who are liable
to come to want, becoming public charges,
from lack OF good physique.
An
law is that which throws the responsible
ty upon steamship companies for bringing
diseased persons here. They are fined
800 in each case, and in the last year
they have paid, besides having to take
back the diseased persons. $24.00O in fines.
The result of this law is that their in
spection on the other side is Just as
vigilant as our own, in fact. they turned
back great many more people than we
bad to turn back here.

Mr.. AuId's Proposed Organization Of Life
Insurance Policy Holders.

Joseph Aud, the publisher of the Bur-
lington Daily News, who some time ago
proposed an organization Of Vermont life
insurance policy holders to protect their
interests, has issued an additional appeal
in which he says:
f'The -rffro irs-.s now come to make a
little more definite state.iant sOf plan
and purpose. My proposal Is to unite
the life policy holders Of Vermont in one
organization to protect their great in
terests in the insurance companies
where their money Is deposited as a pro-
lection to their heirs. The organization
may be very simple. 1 propose that 1t
have permanent headquarters in Burllhg-
ton; that 1t appoint one or more men, not
to exceed three, to attend the annual
meetings of the insurance companies and
represent the body Of Vermont policy
holders at elections-in the examination
of accounts, the regulation Of expenses
and the election Of a board of honest
and active trustees. II at the same time
other states should send representatives
as they undoubtedly WILT will only be
a short time before the policy holders Of
the country will take complete control
OF the companies and manage them in
their own interest.
"The man or men chosen to take the
proxies to the meeting and vote upon
them could be elected by the direct vote
of the policyholders by mail or in person
or by committee of one from each
county, as seems best. The organization
machinery need not be elaborate, just
mutual society to serve mutual interests
in charge of one person to receive proxies
and record the wishes of the policy
holders. The cost would be only a few
cents a year-possibly ten to 20 cents
for each policy holder"
rs it not time for the policy holders
to begin an effort to control their own
property? Can they expect its honest
administration unless they doT If the
owners of n business do not run it them
selves they will soon have no business.
No legislation can take the place of per-
sonal supervision. 1 shall be pleased to
add to the list already in all those who
care to belong to such an organization.
in which you carry a policy"
