Gr0Cers 10 be Commented.

The Wisconsin Retail Grocers and
General Merchants association has act
ed with wisdom in expressing a senti-
ment favorable to pure food legislation.
AS a matter Of fact, the adulteration of
foods has caused the grocers quite as
much injury as it has the consumers
and they are only guarding their own
interests when they ask for stringent
laws ON this subject
This association desires that state
laws shall be enacted ON the pure food
question that will harmonic with the
general law, which was enacted by the
last congress Unless this is done il is
feared that Wisconsin may prove the
dumping ground for articles that viii
not be admitted To interstate commerce
under the terms of the new federal law.
Wisconsin has pretty good pure food
law as it is, and. what is more, has a
pure food commission that makes a bus
mess of seeing that the law is enforced.
If there are any weak spots in the law,
however they should be remedied, and
legislation that viii make the state law
harmonic with the federal law, and,
at the same time, will not weaken the
Wisconsin statute, is something TO be
desired. At any rate, the Wisconsin
grocers have indicated a willingness to
have the ban placed on adulterated
foods, and they are to be commended
on their position.

Milwaukee Sentinel; The primary
election of last week was the first rea
trial that that law has been subjected
to and we are frank to say that in the
main it worked better than we expect
ed. That it can be improved is not OPP
en- to doubt The question of the super
vision of public service corporations is
one which has been before the people OF
the state not alone through the press,
but through addresses on the stump. 1t
is one Of the great questions of the day.
1t will have to be met by the Republi-
can candidates when they convene to
adopt platform.

THE way Frear and Dahl and Others
ran is very good evidence that name
that puts the candidate first on the bal
lot is a big advantage. Some OF the
politicians have figured that there was
10 per cent advantage in thus leading
on the ticket.

RATE BILL WILL LOOK
LIKE JOSEPH'S COAT

Washington, May 10.--The third stage Of
today's proceedings by the Senate on the
rate bill was devoted to the question of
rebates paid to shippers. The question
arose in connection with an amendment
offered by Senator McCumber, providing
that any shipper receiving a rebate from
a carrier shall be fined to the extent of
three times the amount received.
The North Dakota senator said the
amendment was intended to prevent ship
pers from continuing their practice Of
demanding determinations. saying that
the great trusts were the principal Of
tenders against this requirement. He de-
clared that these trusts have the rail-
roads in their power, and added:
I'VE have been very careful so far in
this legislation not to interfere with them.
Notwithstanding they are practically re-
sponsible for all the rebates.
He quoted the Presidents recent mes
sage saying that the Standard OIL COM
pany received s75OOOO a year as rebates,
and declared the only way to check the

added the delights of summer toilettes

The blossoms from out door gardens,
roses in all their indescribable beauty and
freshness, and honeysuckle gathered from
the balconies made the most refreshing
picture, one that not even the florists
art can approximate.

SENATE COMPLETES
SECOND SECTION
ALLISON COMPROMISE AMEND.
MENTS WILL BE TAKEN UP TO-
DAY-PENALTY FOR SECURING
REBATES is RESTORED TO BILL.

Washington. May 10.-The Senate today
completed the consideration of the sec
ond section of the railroad rate bill and
just before adjournment listened to the
reading of sections and L. without con-
sdering any amendments offered to them.
The purpose of this reading was to bring
| the consideration of the bill up to the
point of taking up the Allison compro-
mise amendments which will be done to-
morrow.
| A number of very important changes
were made in the second section, includ-
| ing a provision restoring the imprison-
ment penalty Of the act of 1887. and an
amendment suggested by Senator Nc
| Cumber imposing a penalty of fine and
Imprisonment against clippers who secure
rebates from transportation companies.
/ The latter amendment was Incorporated
| for the avowed purpose of hitting the
| trusts. Another amendment adopted was
| offered by Senator Warren. 1t gives the
| government business a preference over
| all other traffic in time of war A long
| series of changes We're also made at the
| instance of the interstate commerce COM
, mission. Many of these were verbal. and
! all were intended to improve the admin
| strative features of the law.
| There was continuous debate through
plant that senators manifested a dispo-
sltion to increase the time allowed them
| under the fifteen-minute rule by speaking
on amendments to amendments. and also
by speaking In the time of other senators.
Senator Tillman stated privately when the
Senate adjourned that IL these practices
continue, he would make an effort tomor-
row to have the speeches limited TO five
minutes duration.
The Senate sat until o'clock, and then
adjourned to meet at II o'clock tomorrow
morning.
Senator Dolliver said that the essential
change made by the amendment was the
addition of proviso giving to the COM
1 mission discretion to suspend the require
ment as to the publication of rates. He
said, however, that he could not give in
| detail the changes made, and that the
| committee had not given great deal Of
| attention to the subject.
Senator Lodge endorsed the proposed
substitute and was followed by Senator
| Beveridge who criticized the method sug-
| gested of making changes in the bill. es-
pecially as members of the interstate COM
\ merce commission had not been able to
| explain the differences between the two
| measures Senator Foraker said the Kean
amendment was better than section Of
| the pending bill. He criticized the action
| OF the majority of the committee in pre-
venting amendments to the House bill
| 1t being evident that the presentation OF
| the blanket provision would retard rather
| than hasten action, Mr. kean withdrew
| his substitute and Mr.. Tillman proceeded
/, with the presentation OF the commissions
| suggestions in detail.
| Mr. Warren then presented. and the
| Senate accepted. an amendment requiring
| that in time of war preference shall be
given to the transportation Of troops and
munitions Of war
