A PURE FOOD LAW.

When is law not law seems to
be a popular game these days.
Many of us have been under the
impression that there was such
a thing as a law to cover a moral
obliquity like selling a man Chi
cory for coffee or cotton seed oil
for butter. which in our code of
ethics we have been accustomed
to term swindling. But it seems
that our impression is wrong,
and that palming off sugar and
sand for pure sugar, or hog fat

fectly legitimate.

Pure Food Measure.

Crowley Signal: Louisiana
needs pure food legislation and
its enforcement. The IriOn bill
which has passed the house and
is now before the state senate
seeks To protect the people. 1t
vests in the state board of health
thepOwertodetermin standards,
to make any regulation it desires
and to arrest. fine and imprison
all who do not obey it's orders.
Serious objection is found to this
phase of the bill. New Orleans pa
pers charge that the State Board
of Health is a political body and
that it will not administer the law
as it should. One paper says a
commission should be appointed
for this purpose but just why a
commission should be less sway
ed by political influences than the
State Board of Health does not
appear, The Signal does not be-
lieve the point is well taken.
Let the legislature fix the stand
ard and prescribe regulations,
which it has not dOre in the IriOn
bill, and delegate the enforcement
OF the law to any authorized
board or officers.

THE INEFFICIENCY OF LAW

The following arraignment OF
the in~eficiency of law. by the
New Orleans States is but an.
other expression of a recognized
fact that in the domain of dol
lars" the law as "she is DONE
has abandoned the company of
morals and is out a trolley that
carries the exploiter past the
walls of the penitentiary. And
it is a warning too, for the futility
of the law in the high concerns of
the thousands that permits a
Carnegie, a Rockefeller or an Ar
mOur to pauperize them, means
disrespect of law by the thou
sands" now. disregard later, and
after that, revolution in self
defense:
The statutory law is cold and merci-
less and inexorable. 1t is designed to
operate within and subsidiary to the
loftier tribunal effected upon the basis
of honesty and sound morals. and it
a reach and deal with only the
grosser forms of offenses. 1t a

bread, but it is ~powerless to prevent a
heartless millionaire from turning .
starving and penniless widow out
upon the streets in mid-winter for ar
rearages in rent. 1t a send a CLERK
to the penitentiary for embezzlement,
but it can not deal effectively with the
Carnegies. the Rockefellers and the
Armours for pauperizing thousands
and driving them to the commission
of crime. We must repect and ven
crate the law, but that man entertains
but a low conception of life and of
moral obligations, who is content
merely to keep out of the clutches of
the law, ana who limits the scope of
his efforts at money-getting just with
out the walls of the p~enitentiary.

stances dangerous to the health

stated that Louisiana is the dump
ing ground for all kinds of food
Stuffs that are criminal OffenSes
in other States.
And we also had a notion that
ouacks were forbidden to prac-
tice medicine. that before a man
or woman could tamper with the
health of a sovereign citizen of
Louisiana. he had to have per-
mission from the State Board of
Examiners. And yet anybody.
regardless of whether he knows
quinine from black pills, can
put up" medicine, advertise it
to cure all the diseases ever heard
of ard without let or hindrance
can persuade to his utmost de
sire as many people to take it as
he can.
And the astonishing part is
that we have a State Legislature,
that, after recognizing that our
laws are not laws when it comes
to protecting the public health
against exploitation for the sake
Of the almighty dollar, should
hesitate as to passing a stringent
law that would be effective. Pro
tect business interests, of
course, but protect the public
health first. No honest man
with an honest article for sale
should object to a stringent pure
food law, and manufacturers of
patent medicines have no right
to object to being required to
stand examination through their
medicines. the same as the ply

vided. The manufacturer with

Opposition. however, loud and

fake medicine concerns, for they

But there should be but one
course for an honest legislator,
nd that is to pass a pure food

Monroe Star: The Louisiana
Legislature is hammering away
at reforms which the people of
the State demand. but which are
rather slow to come forth from
the Legislative mill. The trouble
is that every individual member
has a pet way of effecting these
reforms, and does not feel dispos-
ed to give the other fellow the cred

CONGRESS SHOULD act ON
PURE FOOD BILL.


In view Of the disclosures in
regard to the methods ui the
beef trust and the great amount
of fraud practiced upon the pub
lie by dishonest manufacturers
who adulterate ti.eir goods for
the money there is in it, there is
pressing need of an effective law
to protect the public. Congress
now has a pure food bill before
it, but owing to the opposition of
powerful interests, no action has
been taken. The passage of a
pure food bill is not objected to-,
say the interests. it is only
certain provisions which would
injure their business, but up to
date, about every provision that
would make the law effective has
been fought and the bills pas
sage held up.
1t is well enough and both
proper and just to be mindful of
business interests, but the pro-
lection of the public health comes
first and if our representatives
are not sold to the interests"
entirely, it is time for them to do
something. They have sup
pOsedly tried to frame a law that
would satisfy the interests"
and at the same time be effective.
They lave failed. Now they
should disregard everything
save an earnest desire for the
general good and act. The
Times Democrat presents the
matter correctly as follows:
THE proper legislation for
Congress to enact is, Of course.
to require that the seller shall
not deceive the purchaser as to
the contents or the weight of the
package he is buying, but this is
the sort of Legislation to which
the manufacturing interests are
generally opposed. The fact
that they are so violently opposed
to such a measure is the very
best reason why it should be
adopted. Why should the manu-
so strenuously object to
being honest with his patrons?

5ected by legislation the method

BREAKS HIS NECK.
Man Jumps or Falls From a Fifth
Story Window.

New York, July 27.-The authorities
are investigating the death of Frank
r. Reynolds. a bookmaker, of St.
Louis. who fell or jumped from a win
dow in the fifth floor of Martins res
taurant early today. The death was
instantaneous and the mans neck was
broken.
Reynolds came here from St. Louis
to assist Barney Schneider in making a
book at the Brighton Eeach track. He
had displayed nervousness during the
afternoon yesterday when he COM
planned of being Ill and the presence
of his wife did not appear to restore
his normal condition.
Mrs. Reynolds arrived yesterday
She said she was living at No. II East
Eleventh street and would go there to
spend the night. Her husband re-
Ceived this message and then retired.
He said he did not care to work until
he felt better.
While the restaurant was filed with
patrons, Sam Martin, the proprietor.
was seated near one of the windows
leading to an area in the rear of the
building. He heard a heavy sound as
OF a body striking a hard substance.
Upon looking from the window, he
saw the body Of man on the cement
Of the area Without attracting at
tention, he made his way to the place
but news Of the mans death could not
be kept from the patrons. and there
was hurried paying of checks and
men and women left while an anlbu-
lance from Roosevelt hospital drew Up
to the door. Reynolds had called for
a physician at 10 O'Clock and said he
needed q powder to make him sleen.
DR.. Barnes was summoned and gave
the man something TO quiet his nerves
He had appeared in the restaurant
earlier, telling the night clerk ne was
Ssoing for a walk and that it would do
him good.
When Reynolds returned he looked
naggard and said he would retire for
the night. He disrobed almost entire
~, and in a short time his BODY fell
from the window Reynolds was well
known in New York although st. I,o15is
was his home. He made periodfcaI
trips here during the racing season ana
had worked on many western tracks.
