The PURE FOOD BILL.

The senate by an overwhelming ma
jority passed on Wednesday the pure
food bill, for which a fight has been
going on for a dozen years The meas
ure now goes to the house, where 1t is
certain to occasion a great deal of de-
bate, though there is strong reason for
believing il will be passed. The only
opponents of the bill were Democrats,
four of them. led by Senator Bailey.
They did not oppose the spirit Of the
measure Their argument was based
on the constitutionality of the pro-
posed law.
Senator Bailey thought the question
OF pure food was one that could safe
~ be left to the individual states for
settlement In a measure he is right.
Most of the states have already en-
acted legislation on the subject Utah
has a pure food law, and it is being
we'll enforced Recently Herman
Harms. state chemist, announced that
the food products on sale in this state
were as pure as they could be made.
The same thing is, true Of other states
Still. it is diffcult TO see how any
harm can possibly come from a law
prohibiting interstate commerce IN i'm
pure food and requiring that the food
sold IN the territory directly under the
control Of the United States be MAIN
tanned at a certain standard of purity.
The honest manufacturer or dealer has
nothing to fear from such a law. The
public has everything to gain.
The act. If it becomes a law, will by
no means do away with the state food
inspection bureaus. It viii merely back
them up. If the government bureau
becomes lax in its law enforcement the
states viii still have their own officials.
Mr.. Bailey took the ground that the
additional bureau is not needed, that
what the nation needs is fewer bureaus
and more efficient prosecuting officers.
The Texas senator feared that a de-
partment as powerful as the postOfice
department would be created, one that
would seriously interfere with the
rights of manufacturers of foodstuffs.
1t does not seem to Us that the fear is
we'll founded. There are mighty few
cases in which the postoff1ce depart
ment has destroyed a legitimate bust
ness The same thing will doubtless
be true. OF the new pure food depart
ment.

cRosvENoR is BEATEN.

The house OF representatives VIII
know the familiar figure OF Grosvenor
Of Ohio no more after the close OF the
short session of congress, March 4.
1907. "Old Figgers" has been badly
beaten for denomination. When his
present term ends Grosvenor will have
served twenty years in the house,
which is far too long for man OF his
type. General Grosvenor. ever since
his entrance into public life. has been
a distinctly machine man. Always he
has stood with the bosses against the
people Now the people Of his district
have risen and his hour at last has
struck.
The great American public VIII be
too busy looking after its own troubles
TO pause for sympathy with Grosvenor.
The principal thought in connection
with his retirement viii be that he has
been tolerated altogether too many
years. Grosvenor 4aay have been a
useful man TO his district in the be-
ginning, but that period has long since
passed. He no more represented the
people of Ohio than he represented the
people of Utah. Not what they wanted
but what his bosses wanted has been
GrOsvenors aim and object.
Only a short time ago he took occa-
sion to defend Cox, the unspeakable
Cincinnati boss. In Grosvenor's judg-
ment Cox is a great man. 1t was eros
venor, too, who suggested that, as the
railroads had cut of congressional
passes, congress should retaliate by
striking off about S1O,O00.O00 from the
appropriation to the railroads for car
rying the government malls. The only
possible inference was that congress
had been paying the railroads, out OF
public funds, 100000 a year for rid
ing on passes. Certainly II the rail
roads were getting too much money
after cutting off passes they were get
ting too much before they took that
step.
1t is not at all certain that eros
venor's successor will be a great i'm
provement. for he is described as hav-
ing dominated the politics Of Ross
county for years." but he surely cannot
be worse than "Old Figgers." The pub
lie can at least have that much con-
ISOLATION.

local or transcontinental. AS usual,
the government is slow TO increase its
facilities to keep pace with the growth
of business, and the natural conse-
quence is a burden of work on the
clerks which they should not be asked
to shoulder.
Whether the Salt Lake postoffice is
properly managed or not has nothing
to do with the indisputable fact that
the railway mail service needs relief,
and needs 1t st once. It is to be hoped
the congressman and senators whose
constituents are affected will at once
sake up the matter with the depart
*ent Immediately and get action.

APOLOGY is DUE.

In a letter to DR.. Morris, husband Of
the woman who was brutality elected
from the White House, Mr.. Loeb, sec
rotary to the president, says that the
president was satisfied that the kind
Hest thing that could be done to Mrs.
Norris and her kinsfolk was to refrain
from giving additional publicity to the
circumstances surrounding the case"
This letter was written in reply to one
from Dr. Morris to the president sug-
costing that the president make a pup
lie apology for the part taken by his
officers in the affair.
Mrs. Morris was confined to her bed
for six weeks after her ejectment. All
the details given by disinterested wit
nesses went TO show that she was bar
barously treated. She was mauled
around by officers, handled by a negro
and subjected to other indignities. Ali
this merely because she insisted on see
| ing the president personally, all this
! because she said she had plenty of
time and could wait until the chief ex-
ecutive finished the business he had n
hand so that he could see her.
None except Roosevelt sycOphants,
people who believe, with the president,
that he can do no wrong, will be OF the
opinion that Mrs. Morris suffers by
/ further publicity Of the case. Those
who suffer are the president and his
bodyguards around the White House.
! No more disgracefuI spectacle has ever
been seen in a public place in this coun-
/ try. Mr.. Roosevelt. if he had been at
| all inclined to be fair would have dis
charged every man connected with the
/ case and he would have seen to 1t at
once that every possible reparation was
made to the injured woman

One of the men in the railway mail
service in this district gives an ex-
PLANTATION Of the trouble in that branch
of postal business which seems to &C
count for the situation pretty we'll. IN
a letter to The Herald he says:
Referring to article in Salt Lake TIL
bune OF Feb. d regarding the
railway mail service, most of the clerks
connected with that branch of the gov
eminent service are wondering what kind
Of dope the writer of that article INDUCES
in. 1t is well known by those connected
with the service that the railway mail
was never so badly stuck before. Tons
of paper mail are lying at the Oakland
pier waiting for distribution. The Mon
tana malls have been travelling back and
fOrJh between the boundary line Of that
state and POCatellO for twenty-fOur hours
or so before they finally went through
distributed.
The trouble originated about a year
ago. when the auditor OF The treasury
department ruled that railway postal
clerks were paid by the year and were
not entitled to any compensation for
extra work. As extra work is a regu-
lar thing the department never get
ting enough to properly run through the
year, II has not taken long for new men
to find out that they could do better
elsewhere.
The result is that there is not a sin

mail.
Recent publications in The Herald
from Cheyenne and salt Lake show
that the railway mail clerks are being
overwOrked TO an unbearable extent,
and it is easy TO understand why men
who get little rest and work at high
pressure all the time should be anxious
to get out of the service. 1t is a haz-
ardous occupation at best, as the fig
ures Of railway casualties show; it is
most exacting in its requirements, calls
for a high degree of intelligence and
unusual physical endurance. yet it is
compensated on a meager basis COM
pared with the pay for such qualities
in mercantile pursuits.
The past year has seen a remarkable
expansion of business in the west and
a resultant increase in mail. whether

True Utility and Full Mission of Sea
Branch Of Country's Military
Strength.
SYMPATHY IS REQUISITE
SAILORS MUST BE TREATED
WITH RESPECT.

Baltimore, Feb. 22.-The thirtieth an
nual commemoration day of the Johns
Hopkins university was celebrated today,
Secretary Of the Navy Bonaparte deliv-
ering the principal address. He said:
I answer the first of the two questions
have prefixed to this little paper by
saying that we need our navy TO make
and keep ourselves such a nation as
Washington hoped and believed we
should become, to assure what he called
the rank due to these United States
among nations" not as matter Of van
ity, but as needful to our safety and our
credit. as at once the measure and the
sanction of our natioral duty to man
kind
To understand its true utility and fun
bear in mind that the navy is essentially
a branch OF the country's military
strength. /. exists that II may fight, f
need be, and TO be really useful it must
be sufficiently strong and sufficiently
prepared for it's work, to meet at any
moment any enemy it might be called
on to encounter.
The same thought gives us the answer
to my second question: The needs, what
ii ought to have, and, indeed, to do its
work and do this well In the first place
it needs d great deal Of money, for mod
and grows more expensive daily.
Need of Public Sympathy.
The second great need of the navy is,
to nv mind, a thorough and unSparing
but fair and intelligent criticism.
Finally, my friends, the navy needs
needs perhaps more imperatively than
aught else. an assurance that the public
symDathizes with it's work, that the
public knows and feels its value to the
nation.
To recruit our sea service we have
never had recourse to CONSUMPTION in any
fern. We trust with confidence which
the event has hitherto justified, to the
patriotis.h and military spirit of our sea
faring folk for the additional men we
of peace, however, we must make our
service attractive 70 men such as we
shall need in war II we hope for trained
sailors when that time shall come
Doubtless this means a heavy expense
but IL means something besides expense.
The men we seek. and of late have In
large measure secured, will not subject
themselves to the restraints Of naval dis
cip1ine unless they feel that as sailors
tbey can retain their self-respect and
earn the esteem Of their fellow Ameri-
cans. To treat these men as outcasts
when they come ashore is to cripple our
ships more surely than If their guns were
disabled or their engines put out Of gear;
the men behind the guns, the men 70
handle and feed the engines, are the most
truly vital factors in their efficiency. and
such men must now be trained, not for
days or weeks, but for months and ears,
in time of peace IF they are to be Of
more use than hindrance in time Of war.
