FOR LESS BOSSISM
Objects to Postoflce Bill Going
to Conference
MEMBERS HAVE NO CHANGE

Away From Members and Puts

Machine.
MEMBERS HAVE NO CHANCE

Washington. May 31.-During the consid-
Grafton of the rule to send the postofflce
appropriation bill TO conference today,
Mr.. Simms of Tennessee inveghed
against the iniquity of sending a bill
to conference with eighty-three amend
ments without permitting the House to
consider them.
He particularly wanted to vote on the
| paragraph in relation to rural free de-
livery boxes by amending It so that pa
irons of rural routes would make their
own mail boxes. providing they conformed
TO the standard of the department.
Mr.. Underwood of Alabama opposed the
rule for the reason that it took the gov
eminent of the House away from the in
dividual members and placed In the
hands of the government machine of the
House
Want Individual Judgment
1.-THE people of the United States" he
said send the individual members to
Congress to exercise their judgment; not
the Judgment of the speaker, not the
judgment of the committee on rules, not
the judgment of a conference committee
The House by adopting this rule blindly
sends every bit of the legislation that
the Senate has put in the bill unconsld-
cred, without any chance for considera-
ton by the members of this House back
to conference committee, where it will
be determined behind closed DOORS"
Mr.. Underwood then went on to say
that the members of Congress were paid
by the year and not by the day. 81 should
like as well as any member of this House
TO go home at an early date, but IL the
business of the country requires us to
stay here till August In order that we
may properly consider It, the membership
of this House ought to stay here to do

Mr.. Dalzell: Il 10 not object to that
proposition. I do not complain of any
proper use of time, but waste of time"
applause on republican sde)
on Means of Action.
Mr.. Underwood: THE gentleman well
knows that this side of the House has
no desire to waste Time but they are
when the minority can have no hearing
unless it puts its protests on the record Of
the House, In the only way that the rules
of the House permit it do So" Gap
plause on democratic side)
Mr.. Grosvenor then told how a demo-
cratic Congress had brought in a bill
with 800 amendments, and it was not an
appropriation bill, and instead of giving
the republicans committee pn confer
ence that they begged for, they got forty
minutes under a motion to concur and
the democrats voted EN- bloc and created
a tariff bin, "a bill of infamy and dis
honor and disaster"

st. Petersburg.-The most alarm.

tons between Germany and France

means unlikely. The ambassador Of

war, In his opinion, was inevitable, and
had in fact already been decided upon.

not ranked among the admirers of En-
peror William, that for the whims Of
one man Europe must be plunged into
the horrors Of war"
At the French embassy opinion as to
the situation Is frankly pessimistic. and
the outlook at present Is regarded as
extremely serious, the view being that
there is no telling what may be in store
il the conference should break off and
France and Germany be left face to
face in uncompromising opposition.
The abandonment of the French posi-
ton is regarded as impossible. EN-
peror Williams toast at the banquet in
Berlin, Sunday, with its direct allu-
sion to the possibility of war, is quoted
with apprehension. The pessimism,
however, is not general, and German
circles, particularly, manifest far less
alarm, and affect to believe that war
is out Of question. The emperor's
words we're regarded in these German
circles as merely natural phrases ap-
plicable TO his military functions.

Many pure food bills have been intro
duced and some passed by State legisla-
lures: many have been offered to Con-
gress but all thus far seem Objectionable.
It has seemed difficult for politicians to
formulate a satisfactory bill that would
protect the common people and yet avoid
harm to honest makers and prevent n d
less trouble to retailers. No govt COM
mission or officer has the right to fix
food standards" to define what the peo-
pie shall and shall not eat, for what agrees
with one may not agree with another and
such act would deprive the ommon
citizen OF his personal liberty. The
Postum Cereal Co., Ltd, perhaps the
largest makers of prepared foods In the
world, have naturally n close knowledge
Of the needs of the people and the details
Of the business of the purveyors, (the
retail grocery and, guided by this expert
ence have prepared Il bill for submission
to Congress which is intended to accom-
plish the desired ends, and inasmuch as a
citizen of the u. S. has a right to o o
protection even when he enters another
State it is deemed proper that the govt
take control of this matter and provide a
national law to govern all the states. A
copy of the bill is herewith reproduced.
Sec. / governs the maker whether the
food is put up in small packages sealed,
or in barrels. boxes or otherwise.
Sec. 9 governs the retailer who may
open a barrel and sell the food in
small quantities. When he puts the
goods into a paper bag he must also
enclose a printed copy of the statement
OF the maker which was affixed to the
original pkg. and inasmuch as the
reailer cannot undertake to guarantee
the statement OF ingredients he must
publish the statement of the makers
and add his W name and address as a
guarantee OF his selling the food as 1t Is
represented to him which relieves the
retailer OF responsibility Of the truth of
the statement and throws it upon the
maker, where it properly belongs.
The remaining sections explain them
selves.
The Postum Cereal Co, Ltd, for ex-
ample, have from the beginning of its
existence printed on the outside of each
and every pkg. of Postum and Grape
Nuts food a truthful and exact statement
Of what the contents were made of in or
der that the consumer might know pre-
cisely what he or she was eating. A per-
son desiring to buy, for instance, strictly
pure fruit jelly and willing to pay the
price has a right to expect not only an
equivalentforth the cost but a further right
to a certainty as to what he eats. Or he
may be willing to buy at less cost a jelly
made part of fruit juices. sugar and a
portion Of glucose. But he must be sup
piled with truthful Information Of the
ingredients and be permitted to use his
personal liberty to select his own food
accurately.

The people have allowed the slow mur-
der OF infants and adults. by tricky
makers of food, drink and drugs to go on
about long enough. Duty to oneself,
family and nation demands that every
man and uni join in an organized
movement to clear our people from this
blight. You may not be able to go per-
sonally to Washington to impress your
Congressman, but you can. In a most eff
fective way tell him by letter how you
desire him to represent you.
Remember the Congressman is in Con-
gress to represent the people from his
district and II a goodly number OF citi-
Gems express their views to him, he Sc
cures a very sure guide to duty. Remem-
Der also that the safety of the people ia
assured by insisting that the will OF the
people be carried out. and not the ma
chinations Of the few for selfish inter-
ests.
This pure food legislation ia a pure
movement Of the people for public pro-
lection. 1t will be opposed only by those
who fatten their pockets by deceiving
and injuring the people. Therefore, II
your Representative In Congress evades

very different condition than when a fac
ton demands class legislation of the Con-
gresham. Several years ago the butter
interests OF the country demanded iegis-
lation to kill the oleomargarine industry
and by power OF organization forced

free people. Work people wanted beef

heavy tax. Manufacturers sometimes
try to force measures In their own inter
ests but contrary to the interests OF the

People now demand the right to know
exactly what they eat.
To be told by maker or retailer that
the food is pure" Is not satisfactory.
Candy may contain pure" white clay
or pure dyes and yet be very harmful.
Syrups may contain pure" glucose n
yet be quite digestible and even bene-
acial. Tomato catsup may contain a
small amount OF salicylic or boracic acid
as a necessary p~reservative, which may
agree with one and be harmful to an
other.
Wheat -four may contain a portion OF
corr flour and really be improved. Olive
oil may be made OF cotton seed oil.
