Pure Food Work Organized.

Four pure food commissioners
recently appointed by State Food and
Dairy Commissioner II. r. Wright.
met with Mr.. Wright In the Offices at
the state house for conference and
then entered upon their duties as
food inspectors. Though the pure
food law has been In force for some
weeks, the delay In getting the chem.
ical laboratory In shape and other
preparatory work Of arranging to In
augurate the system of inspection has
delayed the time for beginning the
actual work of the new department,
Up to this time the department has
enforced the law when Its attention
was called to any particular viola.
ton. Henceforth the department
takes the initiative and will proceed
to ferret out all violators and bring
them to the seat of justice.
Minnesota has twenty-five persons
attached to the food and diary com
missioners' office, which includes the
commissioner, deputy and stenograph'
ers. Iowa has eleven. II Is recog
nized by the Iowa department that II
has on Its hands one Of the most I'm
portant measures there Is In the
state. and a very systematic program
for its enforcement is' to be mapped
out. Foods are subject very hard
to keep a watch urea. as the tricks
of the trade are almost as numerous
as the brands Of food and the brands
are unlimited. Furthermore, there Is
every day coming into the market
new brands and new products and
the inspector has on his hands bic
undertaking to keep track Of them
al The four inspectors will under
take to cover the state and bulletins
will be issued from time to time CIV
ing the results of the laboratory In
spection In this city of the various
foods oered for sale. These bulletins
viii give the ingredients OF the var
ious brands and stpte whether they
are according to the legal require
ments or rot. IL Is the intention that
these bulletins shall provide for Q
campaign OF education both with the
public and the retail grocerymen
After a bulletin Is out the grocery
men Of the state will be supplied with
copies and are expected to inform
themselves and rid their shelves oI
any foods that do not meet the re
quirements OF the law. IL they fail tc
do so the law Is likely to get them.

Ballot Law Hits Machines.

The secretary Of state has ruled
that the new ballot law. striking the
circle from the oTlclal ballot, affects
and applies to voting machines. The
voting machine commission and the
voting machine people do not agree
with this decision, but they are pre-
pared to meet it by a mechanical de-
vice, pending the decision Of the
courts with respect to 1t. The ques,
ton first was raised In Winneshiek
county. II was claimed that the new
Jaw was intended to prevent O voter
from voting for an entire list of can,
didates with one stroke Of his hand.
IL this be true, then ma"hine which

Did Not Endorse Ticket.

Did Not Endorse Ticket.
After hot debate, in which criti-
cisms were hurled at Governor Cum.
Minis and Hon. Claude II. Porter, a
resolution recommending the support
Of the temperance forces Of the state
for their own candidates, was turned
down in the "get-together" conven.
Of the anti-liquor workers of the state.
AS result Of the refusal OF the
convention to pledge It's support to
the prohibition ticket, IL feeling has
again arisen, and for time 1t was
feared that the old schism which has
divided the temperance forces for so
many years would be reopened.
The resolution asking that the con-
vention pledge its support to Father
Coffin for governor on the prohibition
ticket, and the rest of the candidates,
was offered by Malcolm Smith of
Cedar Rapids, and in substance was
as follows.
''Inasmuch as the prohibition party
Is the only party that has declared
against the saloon, therefore be 1t
resolved that we support the candi-
date of our party"

OW EMS WATER
QU ESTION is
IGNORED

Special to The Herald.
BAKERSFIELD, Cal, Oct 25.-Be-
fore packed house tonight at Armory
inee for congress in the Eighth dis
trict and Congressman Smith, the Re-
publican nominee, met in joint de-
bate. The sensational feature of the
debate centered about the right of
Los Angeles to acquire the waters of
Owens river. Mr.. Barlow in his open
ing speech Of forty minutes declared
himself to be unequivocally In favor
of the waters of that river being util
lied for the great city of the south
and he explained in strong language
that the lands of owens valley we're of
such formation as could not be bene-
fitted by irrigation and that the great
est good would result to the greatest
number by conveying the water to Los
Angeles. g
He directed attention to Mr.. Smiths
action in congress in securing for the
Edison company valuable rights and
he asked the direct question of Mr..
Smith whether or not his active op
position to the Los Angeles project
was not due to his desire to favor the
power company.
The question was so pointed and
direct that the great audience waited
eagerly for Smiths denial. The con-
gressman talked eloQuently ON many
subjects, reviewing the tariff from 1856
and closing with a. mastery effort,
but he made not the slightest refer
ence to Owens river or to the Los
Angeles plan for acquiring it, disre-
garding Mr.. Barlow's question COM
pletely.
Mr.. Barlow had twenty minutes to
close and in that closing he openly
charged that Mr.. Smith had by his
silence answered in the affirmative
the question of whether or not his
vigorous opposition to the Owens river
water plan was in the interest of the
Edison Electric company as against
the people of the Eighth congressional

II am particularly desirous to have
elected to this important office a man
whom l know to be sound on fraternal
