THEY DON'T LOVE Us.
BISHOP POTTER EXPRESSES HIS

He Doesn't Believe the Britishers Have
Much Fondness for the American
People and Thinks Their Protesta-
tions Are Gush.

think there is a good deal of gush
about British protestations of love for
America. The more acute and serious
of the British people do not think we
are nation of grafters, but they
think we are very easily tempted by

ference between America and Great
Britain is that we wash our dirty
linen in public and Great Britain
washes hers in private
These were some of the unexpected
utterances of Bishop Potter, who has

Government League, Jamestown, N. d.,
Dear Sir: / received circular from
you few days ago inclosing card
with the names of your stated delega-
tion to the state convention, and also
note how you denounce republicans
who have voted for the democrats.
Now, would like to ask how many of
your slate voted the ticket two years
ago as was nominated by the repub-
licans of the county. If my memory
serves me right you are the very man
who two years ago advised the people
to vote for men on the democratic
ticket, after they had proven them
selves to be double-dyed traitors to
the party and people who had upheld
them in positions of honor and trust
for years. 1t strikes me as / look over
the names of the men who compose
your organization that the principals of
your movement are the soreheaded po-
litical renegades from all parties and
are not to be trusted anywhere. / do
not see how You can expect any honest
republican to vote for men who shout
for democrats one year and republi-
cans the next
Besides all this, understand that
the voters of the county are going to
do the nominating this year. And the
organization Of the county viii stand
by the ticket as nominated.
The records show that your gang
have controlled the county for twenty
five years while our present officials
have only had one term, and are justly
entitled to another, as they have all
filled their Offices with honor and cred
II to their county and state. Respect
fully yours. q. b. Hunt.

ONE INSPECTION PLAN.

Congressional Committee Hopes to
Solve the inspection Problem.
Washington, June 12-The problem
of federal jurisdiction to enforce san
itary regulations, on which the ques-
tion of constitutionality was raised
has tentative solution at least in a
proposition to have all labels for every
character of meat product, canned and
otherwise issued by the secretary and
attached to the product only after such
sanitary regulations as the secretary
shall prescribe have been complied
with and approval given by govern
ment inspectors. These government
labels are then to be the passports of
meat products into interstate and for
eign trade and common carriers are
forbidden to accept for shipment con-
signments of goods without official
government labels.

must concede something to the peas
