How Cork Was Liberated.

The mystery surrounding the release
from Jail Of Maxim Cork, who was ar.
rested in st. Petersburg as a revolu,
Zionist, is cleared. The novelist owes
his liberty to Count White, president of
the council of ministers, who drew up
a report in which the following
passage occurs "A severe sentence of
a long Imprisonment might deprive the
world and Russia Of a creative genius
from whom great things may yet be
expected. The unprecedented sympa-
thy Of which he is the object is a proof
of the attention with which the intel
lectual world follows the development
of Russia, and of the regard which is
felt for the Russian writer outside of
his own country"

Referring to the moral awakening against wrong
doing In public and private life now spreading over
the country, Governor Folk, of Missouri, in an ad
dress the other night declared that this movement
against graft is not movement against wealth. but
against the abuse Of wealth. Said he 'The people
do not oppose riches honestly acquired bnt they do
object to the abuses whereby some obtain great
riches They encourage Legitimate industry and
are not unfriendly to corporations that obey the
law, bnt they demand that corporations obey the
law just like any one else. The anarchy Of capital
breeding lawlessness is no more cOuntenanced than
the anarchy OF labor breeding riot and disorder.v
In that connection the speaker naturally dwelt at
some length on the monopoly grafters ''the tariff
grafters with their millions Of i'll gotten wealth
wrUng from the people by means Of special privi-
leges given them by the law This is simply
egalised graft based upon theory vicious in prin-
ciple and all wrong in fact. These gigantic monOp
Olies fortified behind the wall Of protection are pre-
venting foreign competition at home while the
government derives no benefit from the proceeds.
1t is simply case Of the government taking mil.
lions Of dollars annually from the many and hand
ing it over to favored few. The system has very
largely developed the abOmination of subsidized
legislation, as Governor Folk suggests. Il will be
hard to abolish graft In small way SO long as this
monster legalized graft stands as rebuke to our
bOasted civilization.

N4k\RKN There is no evil in the political or
5 T% %s9I3t NJ economic life Of the nation that
ScIe&A does more harm or comes closer
home to the people than this ole which saps che
nations vitality and sOws the seeds of the death in
every household Millions OF lives have been sacri.
feed. to the Unsuitable greed OF manufacturers
wholesale pOisoners-who for the sake of gain have
made business OF Aduterating almost every article
Of food and drink used by the people. Professor
Wiley head OF the federal bureau OF chemistry, est
mates that at least two million babies have been
killed BY the use OF impure condensed milk, and the
health OF countless numbers OF grown people has
been ruined by impure and adulterated foods. Ac.
tive poisonous acids are used in putting up the
commonest neceHsaries of life, and even where the
authorizations not directly injurious, great harm
is done in substituting things that not nutritious
for those that ARE The least harmful authorizations
are as bad as feeding an animal chat instead Of
grain.
That this gigantic evil has not been eradicated
long ago, or was ever tolerated for q moment, is
due not only to the reckless disregard Of human life
which is peculiarly American characteristic, but
in still greater degree to the apathy and disregard
Of duty by public officials, boards of health health
officers OF every kind, public prosecutors, legsla-
tors and others charged with the obligation to make
or to enforce the laws. Where pure food laws have
been enacted they have, as rule, become dead
letter, and many states and municipalities have not
even taken the trouble to pass such laws. 1t has
required fifteen years Of persistent effort to get .
pure food bill through the United States eenae and
even this is but beginning. The national pure
food law when finally passed will apply only to the
District Of Columbia and the territories and to the
insular possessions under the immediate jurisdiction
Of the federal government. It will apply also to
articles Of interstate commerce. but the work Of
detection and prosecution Of the frauds will still fall
chiefly upon the state and municipal authorities.
The chief value Of national pure food law is that
1t stamps the swindlers who make and sell impure
foods and drinks rs commercial outlaws. The real
significance OF the senates action In passing the bill
is that it trepresents the growth Of intelligent pub
lie sentiment upon the subject throughout the coun
try. When the people have been educated to nm
derstand the danger and the magnitude Of the evil,
and set their minds putting stop to it, it will
not be long before public officials everywhere will
be aroused to sense Of their duty The indications
are that that time has come, and there s to
hope that the adulteratioD Of foods and drink will
soon be thing Of the past In the United States
