Change in Sentiment.

The Leader was the first paper in
the state to take stand agai st the
manner in which the pure fool lsws
are enforced. The paper has been
accused of being opposed to the laws,
but we defy any person to show
statement where word derogatory to
the pure food laws have been uttered.
The Leader was also the first paper
to condemn the manner of emf Jrcing
the law governing the sale of oleo-
margarine, which we believe is I'M
constitutional and will be SO DELAYED
in time. In the stand The eader
took, 1t was criticised by many. sou.e
of whom, however, have changed
their views and now heartily .cond
it's course. Papers around the state
are beginning to express the same
views, as the following clippings vi
show:
IT our dairy butter may be coo
ed. to be made attractive with that
rare goodness, why the pure food Jaw
restrict the coioring of other thi gs7
Racine Daily Journal.
"WiscCnsin should net enact any
pure food law which would involve IT,.
employment of large force of STATE
inspectors and hamper interstate com
merce by attempting to impose fu-
iatlons other tt an those of the Ia
tional law Menasha Record.
1.-THE butter imposition is cultivat-
ing sentiment that will ere long de-
mand repeal of the prohibitive olso-
margarine laws. The butter makers
like their prototypes in other mark t.
may yet kill the goose that lays the
golden eggs Racine Journal.
Articles that have previously en-
published by The Leader upon t,,s
subject are now being republished in
pamphlet form and will be presen O.
to each member of the legislatl
with view of righting a wrong, tie
preparation of which has been
crealsng from year to year. AS T
Leader has maintained from the start.
the pure food laws were placed up n
our statute books in good faith, but
they have been prostituted by lot 4
cheap skate politicians who are tryi {,
to make record at the sacrifice
fairness or justice.

If the evidence against DR.. Roberts
Is conclusive then the senate com
mittee should report against the
confirmation and the legisla ure act
favorable upon the report. Should the
findings be otherwise, then the ap-
polntment should be confirmed. The
bill as suggested means absolutely
nothing and if it becomes law would
only go to convince the public that
All effort is being made to shield
the official. 1t is generally reco eniz, d
that DR.. Roberts is interested in
proprietary remedy company. 1t he
is using his official title to further
his personal interests. 1t would be a
very easy matter for him to overcome
the obstacle by becoming silent
member of the firm, without re aiding
IN the least his personal interests.

CONFIRMATION OF
ROBERTS HUNG UP
TALK OF A NEW BILL WHICH
MEANS NOTHING.
Senate Committee Should Decide
as to the Guilt or Innocence of
the Accused State Veterinarian
There Should Be No Attempt
to Shield.

The following dispatch to the Mil
waukee Sentinel from Madison deals
with the matter of the hearing before
the senate scommitte on agriculture
Wednesday afte,n noon, when DR..
David Roberts, the state veterinarian,
was asked to show cause why his con-
tirmation to the appointment Dy the
governor should not be denied. The
dispatch says:
| AFTER listening to long argument
in favor and against the confirmation
of the appointment of DR.. David
Roberts of Wsukesha as safe veterI-
marian, the senate committee OIL argI-
culture tonight decided to defer making
a report, on the appointment for q
week or ten days, but voted to intro
duce bill prohibiting the person
holding the Office of state veterinarian
from manufacturing, selling, or recon-
mending for sale an proprietary
medicine.
"a score of veterinarians from
different parts of the state, led by DR..
H. P. CIute of Milwaukee and DR.. A..
H. Hartwig of Watertown, made a
fight on favorable report on the
appointment of DR.. Roberts before the
committee on agriculture late today.
Their chief charge against him was
that he violated the ethics of his
profession by making and selling
certain medicines which were claimed
by him to have certain medicinal
powers which they really did not
possess. The principal argument for
the opponents of DR.. Roberts was
made by Attorney H P. Schmidt of
Milwaukee. Attorney w. G. Wheeler
of GAINESVILLE and President George
McKerrow of the state board of agri-
culture and the state live stock sanitary
board spoke for DR.. Roberts. The
charges of professional misconduct
OH his part were absolutely denied by
DR.. Roberts himself. Much bitter
feeling was shown at the bearing.'
early this morning Or. Roberts
withdrew AS member of the Wiscon-
sin Society of Veterinary Graduates
because an attempt was made by some
of his enemies to secure his expulsion
on the same grounds as those presented
to the senate committee rs reason
why his appointment should not be con-
firmed. DR.. Roberts vigorously de-
Tended himself at the meeting of the
society, but his opponents were appar-
emily in the majority. His candidate
for president, of the society for the
ensuing year, DR.. L. H. Wright OF
Columbus. was defeated by one vote
The meeting of the society was
stormy and lasted nearly all night.
The society elected the following
officers: President, DR.. H. P. Clute
of Milwaukee; vice president, DR..
L. H. Wright of Columbus; secretary
treasurer, DR.. Patterson of Beloit.
The attempt to overcome the exist
ing difficulties between DR., Robert
and his accusers by the introduction
of bill in the legislature prohibiting
him, as state official, "from manu-
featuring, selling or recommending
for sale proprietary medicine" woult
only be another piece of farce legis
lation which would not be worth the
paper it is printed upon. Some
serious charges are made against the

THE STORY.

r HE expedition against the Ammon.
i ties had already been delayed be-
yond all reasonable excuse, and Joab,
the captain of the hosts Of Israel, chat
ed and fumed under the restraint.
Experienced man of war as he was,
he knew that valuable time was be-
Ing lost and the time Of year when
the campaign could be conducted
most successfully was slipping away.
Had he had his way, King David
would have started three weeks ago.
but he did not now seem any nearer
the point Of departure than he was
at that time when he had informed
him that the army was In readiness to
move against the enemy. Joab knew
that It was not cowardice upon the
part of King David which kept him
at Jerusalem, for no Drawer man or
more able commander ever led the
armies of Israel than he. And for
this reason II made the situation the
more puzzling.
Joa0 waited as long as he could, and
then sought the presence of the king
and demonstrated with him.
Each day that we tarry here but
adds to the strength of our enemies!"
he exclaimed. lnpatiently.
Yea. but with all the strength they
can muster they win but prove ~
breaking reeds before the armies ol
Israel" rejoined the king. proudly.
"But why place ourselves st . die
advantage because Of tho advancing
season?" persisted Jcab.
LET us start tomorrow, them" the
king replied, With some Of his Old
time promputude and vigor. !.

think of the increased average Of out

United States to-day compared with

speak of all the manufactures that

these are the great fields open for the
