of the most eminent lawyers are els

individual or corporate, how they can

Mr.. Cook asas, can such conduct be

lawyers owe to the public, the courts,

THE IOWA PURE FOOD LAW.
burlington Hawkeye1

The new Iowa pure food law which
went into effect July 1, Is quite compre-
hensive In its provisions and includes
drinks, confectionery and condiments
Hereafter the red lemonade, the blend
ed coffee, the seductive soda water. the
beer and highballs, and all the other
drinkable connections, must be pure or
the vendor will stand liable to the
penalties Of the law.
And, after all, why should not the
public have pure drinks as well as
pure food? The milk must be pure;
why not the beer? The coffee and tea
must be straight goods, or else harm
less in the ingredients: and so labeled;
why not also the Whistles and wines?
If logic is logical, purity should rule
in all that goes into the human stom-
ach as food, or drink. or medicine. II

bility rest with the doctor and the pre-

The pure food law may prove to be
one Of the best temperance measures

IT. has long been claimed by moderate
drinkers that If they could have alb
solutely pure wines, liquors and beers
there. would be very little harm from
their use Without discussing the Wis
dom and physical effect Of the moder-
ate use of intoxicants, it is quite gen.
orally considered that deleterious re-
suits are greatly augmented by adul-

1t is undeniable that numerous hurt

ufacturers to cheaper the cost or pro-
auction, or to color or flavor the stun.
The excessive use of stimulants is
bad enough. when only the pure ar
ticle is used but the baneful erect Is
multiplied MANIFOLD when noxious
drugs and chemicals are employed in
the manufacture.
The Iowa pure food law, to be ef-
fective, and on practical value to the
community, will require the services
of official inspectors and impartial en-
forcement by law officers; otherwise 1t
will be worse than no law on the sub
ject as it will lead to unjust discrimin-
alton among manufacturers and deal
ers. 1t will also require an alert and
discriminative public opinion back of
it. The public is entitled to purity Of
products in the foods, drinks, confec-
tionery. condiments and medicines and
all that enters into the physical sys-
tenn. Life, health, pleasure, comfort
longevity are all involved in these con-
ditions, and because of their vital I'M
portance to society," individually and
collectively, the law ought to be firmly
administered and universally observed.

tho there is unlimited room available,
the buildings are built as compactly
together as convenience permits, sew
eral of the more important being con-
nected by corridors. so that in effect
the school is one large building. There
has been a much too prevalent ideS
that Il college should be scattered over
II large campus, securing picturesque
effect. President Seerley has taken
the modern view of 1t that a college Is
a business institution to be built for
certain scientific purposes, and that the
more the time and energy of the stu
dent is conserved the greater the work
that will be accomplished.
In every department the purpose is
to tnpart to the teacher the Informal
tion any person ought to have who Is
to teach intelligently. The museum is
filed with specimens of the birds and
animals of Iowa. There is a kitchen
and cooking school. There is a car
penter shop, In which ladies may be
seen doing creditable cabinet work, fit
ting themselves for work in their own
schools. The teacher is expected to
secure the training, and only the train-
ing tnal is necessary 10 tne lHSlruc-
ton of others. This is the thought UNI
DERIVING the development of every de-
partment Thru the liberality Of the
state buildings have been built or are
now planned that will enable this work
to be done under the most favorable
conditions, and that will insure to the
state a model school.
President Seerley has been with the
normal school twenty years, and 1t
is In large measure the expression of
his thought in matters of education.
He Is an exceptional man. He has force,
sa gacity. an eye TO the practical and
with 1t all high ideal for the teach
ing profession. He is able at one and
the same time to secure the building
of smoke stack at less than the con-
tractors figures. and to send out teach
ers Of higher professional training
than many more pretentious col
leges aim to furnish. No citizen of the
state can spend day at Cedar Falls
and not realize that the man and his
work are we'll met.

RESPONSIBILITY FOR coMTloAs.

.Who Is responsible for the present
condition OF Iowa republican politics."
inquiries George D. Perkins In the
sioux CITY Journal, and answers his
! own question: ALBERT B. Cumrnins.
..The present situation in the
affairs Of the republican party in Iowa
has been ripening since the party en-
trusted leadership to Albert B. Cum
minis"
Is this true? Only partly SO. Mr.
Perkins inordinate greed for office and
desire to serve his mas :ers has set him
seeing crookedly But if it were true,
Mr.. Perkins angry and envious an
swer would be the hig nest compliment
he or any other polite ian OF his stripe
could pay the personal worth of the
man he attempts to dscry. The con-
dition, of which Mr. Perkins and the
interests of which Mr.. Perkins is the
voice jand Ed Hunter the hands, COM
plain, is not the result Of one mans
work, nor brought about by the per-
sonal ambitions of one man. 1t is not
symptomatic, but manifestation of
a general and deep ated conviction
among the masses of republicans that
it is time to recall the power Of attor-
3fney that certain leaders of the republi-
can party have granted to corporations
and special interests. Governor Cum
minis has been but spokesman for the
yeomanry of the republican party. He

City Judged by state tissues in state

decent government and honest service
by state administrations and for re-
forms in state laws that are recognized
lis wise and necessary By every sincere
and intelligent citizen. To give him
credit for bringing the republican
party of Iowa to determination to
lperpetuate popular government and
majority rule is to award him an
honor any good man might envy, but
which he has not earned alone.
