sponsibic, as is right and necessary, but
the final responsibility is where Sena-
tor McCumber's bill fixes it, with the
manufacturers, who are often able
to force their poisonous concoctions
upon small dealers. Thus federal law
is seen to be an absolute necessity in
this matter of interstate commerce.
In his management of the bill, Sena-
tor McCun1ber has taken his stand
upon the demands of righteousness
and the rights Of the people. He has
proved that adulterated and misbrand-
ed foods are sold in this country to
an amount of over $4,000, 100000 every
year. He has shown up this traffic as
the devils own. He has set forth his
case, not in an abstract or general
way, but has. described the traffic as the
murder OF the helpless. He has laid
the responsibility for the death Of
thousands upon thousands of little
children, especially upon the manu-
facturers, and has made every United
States senator an accomplice in the
suffering, the want, and the death re-
sulting from this deliberate and whole
sale poisoning. ~
Senator McCumber and Senator
Hepburn OF idaho have shown to this
age the Internal nature of commercials
ism which is the darling sin of this
age. The spirit which prevails in the
great monopolies and has its root in
the mad desire for wealth, possessing
the whole people, does not shrink from
any crime. Robbery, violence and con-
tempt Of law do not fill trp the meas
ure OF its iniquity. 1t murders the in
fant in its cradle and inficts linger-
ing and torturing death upon the weak.
If man who Stays single fellow man
i'll anger is condemned to the galiows,
of what punishment is he guilty who
in cold blood and with calculating de-
liberation plots for the death OF a
multitude who have done him no
wrong and against whom he can cher
ish no resentment In revealing the
character of the evil spirit of this age
and in bringing the forces of public in
dignation against it, Senator >McCum-
Der is proving himself man OF the
first rank in the great contest of righte-
business against the enemies OF the peo-
pie. .
This measure will be voted upon
Feb. FL, and it behooves every advo-
cate OF this measure to voice his en-
dorsement before that time The mem
bers OF the North Dakota delegation
are all right, but if you can bring any
influence against any other member Of
the senate to have him favor the bill,
action should be taken at once.
