New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1906-03-01

Remember, the Congressman is fl
Congress to represent the people from
his district, and If goodly number Of
citizens express their views 10 him. he
secures very sure guide to duty. Re-
member also that the safety of the peo-
pie is assured by insisting that the will
of the people be carried out. and not
the Vaccinations OF the few for selfish
interests.
This pure food legislation is a pure
movement Of the people for public pro-
lection. 1t will be opposed only by
those who fatten their pockets by de-
ceiving and injuring the people There
fore, If your Representative in Con-
gresS evadeS his patriotic duty hold him
TO strict accountability. and IL neces-
sary demand equitable and honest
service. This is very different condi-
ton than when faction demands class
legislation of the Congressman. Sew
eraI years ago the butter interests OF
the country demanded legislation 10
Kill the oleomargarine industry, and by
power OF organization forced class leg
islat1on really unworthy of a free
people. Work people wanted beef suet
butter because 1t was cheap and bet
ter than much unclean milk butter. but
the dairy interests Organized and
forced the legislation. The law should
nave provided that pkgs. of oleomarga-
rine bear the statement of ingredients.
and then let people who desire pur-
chase 1t for just what IL is. and not try
10 XIII 1t by heavy tax. Manufacture
erS sometimes try to force measures in
their own interests. but contrary to the
interests or the people, and the labor
trust is always active to Uush through
bills drafted in the interest of that
trust. but directly contrary TO the in
terests OF the people as a whole Wit
"a pVNfI TWNfVU
labor unions seek to tie the hands of
our courts and prevent the issue of any
order TO restrain the members of that
trust from attacking men or DESTROYING
property. Such a bill is perhaps the
most infamous insult to our courts and
me common people ever laid before
congress, and the Representatives In
Congress must be held 10 strict ac-
countability for their acts relating
thereto. But when bills come before
congress that are drawn in the in
terest Of all the people they should re-
celVe the active personal support of the
people and the representatives be in
Structed by the citizens. The Senators
also should be written to and in
structed- Ii, therefore. you will remem-
Der your privilege and duty YOU will al
once-now-write to your Congressman
and Senator on this pure food bill. Clip

Some oppressively intelligent and

encouragement for Postum and Grape-

SPOKEN or here in public manner. but
Hcy are used as illustrations Of a
manufacturer seeking by example
pruning on each pkg. a truthful, exact
stdteneht or ingredients, TO shame
olner makers into doing the fair Thing
