FROM WASHINGTON.

Attorney for North and South
America and part of Europe, has
proved to the public that while il
;s hard to get the truth out of a
cornoration, it's blamed sight
harder to get it from a corporation
LAWYER. His evasive and flippant
answers to the legitimate queries
of Senator Morgan. during the
testimony taken before the Senate
Committee on Canals, have earned
for him the condemnation of every
honest man, and it is high time
that some steps were taken by
which the truth could be forced
from rascals of this stripe. All
credit to Senator Morgan for his
earnest efforts.
Since Ryan Belmont got control
of the Life Insurance companies,
the policy holders have been given
small but steady doses of Cleveland
soothing syrup and Morton NOR
mime. in hopes that it would re-
suit in pipe dreams that would
cause them to almost sec the divi-
dends that the policy holders were
not going to get, but which they
expected would result from the
change of management. When
ever you begin 10 see any more
hope for the people from Ryan
Belmont than they formerly had
from the McCall-McCurdys, who
were merely officers of the Ryan
league-for-the- -relief-of-the- people
from-their-money, why its time
YOU consulted a doctor, and a good
doctor at that
The selection of Jim Griggs, as
Chairman of the Democratic Com
mittee is something of which we
will be proud, as it will practically
assure us a Democratic majority
in the next Congress, and also that
the Committee won't be under any
Wall street control. This is a
step in the right direction, and if
followed up by the people, will
bring the Democratic party a
sweeping victory at the next cleo
ton. What we want To do is TO
head off the wolves who are trying
to get control of the party, and the
rest will be easy. but TO do this,
we must keep our eyes on the pri-
maries. as this is where the wicked
work is done. See that you send
honest delegates TO the next con-
vention and you have won half of
the fight.
Probably l have been giving you
too liberal doses of pure food in
struction lately, but / have been
doing it for the purpose of educa-
ton. If you could have been here
and heard the testimony given be-
fore the House Committee, and
thus realize how badly DR.. Wiley
has been humbugging the people,
you would think it time that some
thing was done to show them the
truth. 1t is shame TO scare hon
est people with lies, anyway, but
when, in addition, the weight OF
evidence seems to indicate that a
lack of understanding, and a belief
in those lies, has been responsible
for rapid increase in the popula-
ton of our cemeteries, then think
it is time to tell the truth about
these things.
For instance, we have all beer
scared to death about the use o.
preservatives in milk, and this has
been one of Wiley's loudest yelps
Lets see how much truth there i:
IN his statements. And / will tax,
the figures right from Part /, o
the Vital Statistics of the United
States, an official Governmen
compilation. The use of preserva
uves in milk began about 1890
We all know that babies and chill
dren use the most milk as food
What effect has it had on them
Turn to page LXXIX of thes
statistics, and We find the dealt
rates of infants classified, in diar
rhoea, dysentery and cholera in
fantum (all germ diseases.)
80 with typhoid fever. This
disease that is almost exclusivel
sown in food. Lets see the differ
ence in this disease between tn
iarmerand the city chap. Farmer
use very few modern preservative
IN food. They do not put forma
dehyde in their milk, nor salicyli
acld In their Jams nor hor;c oc;
