SENATE is DOING THINGS.

The Senate has really done some
thing. 1t has passed the impure food
bill which has been before congress
for the past fifteen years. The vote
stood 60 to 4, the only opposition com
ing from Democratic Senators, which
was largely on constitutional grounds.
The bill makes it misdemeanor
tC manufacture or sell adulterated or
misbranded foods drugs. medicines or
liquors in the District of Columbia.
the territories and the insular pos
sessions of the United States, and
prohibits the shipment of such goods
from one state to another or to a for
eign country. 1t also prohibits the re-
ceipt of such goods. Punishment by fine
of $500 or by Imprisonment for one
year or both is prescribed. In the case
of corporations. officials in charge are
made responsible. The trade and the de-
partments of agriculture and of com
upon regulations for the collections
and examination of articles covered
by the bill. But no provision is made
fol Investigations except by the de-
partment of agriculture The investi
cations by that department are placed
in the hands of the chief of the bureau
of chemistry. and if he finds that the
law has been violated the secretary
of agriculture is required to report the
facts to the United States district at.
torney. who in turn is required to in
stitute proceedings in the federal
courts. The bill also defines foods
drugs, medicines and liquors, and also
defines the standards Of them. There
is an exemption for dealers who fur
nsh guarantees against adulteration
and misbranding.
1nasmuch as powerful interests
have used every effort to defeat legs
lstion of this kind it should be taken
TO mean that national law will go a
good way in checking the manufact
uring and sale of adulterated and i'm
pure foods drugs, medicines etc. The
provision against shipments of such
good from one tate to another or to a
foreign country. if the bill becomes
law and is rightly enforced. should
have a salutary effect
But national law should be re-
inforced by most rigid and far-reach
ing laws in every state in the union
to remove the evils complained OF.
Authorizations and food impurities
have grown to an alarming extent in
the past few years and expositions
made of the vile stuff consumed by
the public and branded as pure and
wholesome has finally born fruit in
the favorable action taken by the up
per house of congress.

AS Montana will eventually cut some

number of plants for the production
OF sugar are already in successful op

That the growth of the beet sugar
industry in the United States has been
something remarkable is shown in a
preliminary statistical report for the
year ending December 81, 1904. issu

In that report it is shown that the
industry has increased 1851 per cent
in the number of pounds of sugar pro

of the product since the census OF
1900. The total number of pounds OF
sugar, granulated and raw. produced
in 1904 was 531,335,294. and the value
of this product was s23,924,6O2. The
value of products other than sugar OBJ
tanned in the sugar beet manufacture
was $464192.
In the fiscal year ended May 81
1900, the total number of pounds pro
duced was 1853 .45S,s75, and its value
was $7.222.5s1. Other products fol-
that year were valued at $1O1,276.
In 1904 the number of sugar bee
factories was fifty-one, as against thir
ty-one in 1900. The capital invested
in 1904 was $55,923.359, and in 1900 i

Tommy Burns won a decisive vic
tory over Marvin Hart, the heavy
weight champion at Los Angeles
Friday night, outpointing and Outright
ing him at every stage OF the twenty
round contest. The result is sur
Prise, because while Burns does not
rank very high as fighter of cham
piOn class he is still much smaller
man than Hart. The result shows
one thing clearly, however. and that
is that Hart was never at any time
entitled to be considered champion.
His claim to the title was based Who'll
ly on his defeat of Jack Root, a Sec
Ond-rater in the light-heavyweight
class. Root was defeated with the
greatest ease by Gardner, and when
Gardner went up against Fitzsimmons
in San Francisco, the red.headed Cor
nishman won as he liked, although
one hand was completely out of com.
mission during nearly all the fight
That brief record will give line on
Hart, and will explain why he did not
want any of Jack O'Brien's game
AS the matter now stands. there is
really no champion of all classes in
America Jeffries' retirement left the
title in the air, and Harris claim to
it because he beat Root is a bursted
bubble. 1t he was really entitled to

President Ripley of the Santa Fe

at a banquet given by the Los Angeles
chamber of commerce, said there was
little sentiment among the people for
rate legislation and what there is was
manufactured by the interstate COM
merce commission. Mr. Ripley has
been making rash statements of this
kind for the past year. He must take
the American people for lot of bloom

there can be no doubt that the peO-

something should be enacted When

to believe.
