Beam stays With Monon.

Rensselaer,, Jan. 3.-Last Thursday
W. H. Beam, for many years the popu-
lar and efficient agent of the Monon
route at Renss elaer, rendered his resig-
nation to the company to accept the
position of assistant cashier of the
Rensselaer, State bank, made vacant by
the resignation of Miss Maude Irwin.
The Monon was loath to lose such a
valuable man and before accepting his
resignation sent word for Billy to meet
the officers in Chicago to talk over the
situation.
The result is that Mr.. Beam has de-
cided to stay with the Monon at an
increased salary. He is also given a
man to do the telegraph work and as
sist him otherwise, and is also given
some other concessions. Another result
of his visit is an increase in the pay
of the night man.
Mr.. Beam is the most popular agent
the Monon has ever had here and his
decision to remain at his post is pleas
ing news to the people.

No Change of Minorities Into Major
tiles by Nerve"
Favors Giving Hearst His New Hear
ing-Mayor Mcclellan Hands
One" to Tammany-Leg-
isIative Notes.

Albany, \. Y, Jan. 8. - Governor
Charles E. Hughes, in his first mes
sage to the legislature, made the fol-
lowing recommendations: \ recount Of
the votes cast for mayor in the New
York city election in 1905, when, on
the face of the returns, William r.
Hearst was defeated by George B. Me
Clellan; that the courts be empowered
to order a recount summarily in the
future, and that the power to bring an
action to try a title to office be taken
from the attorney general and con-
ferred upon the supreme court The
adoption Of q new ballot wherein the
name Of a candidate will appear but
once.
State to Regulate Politics, Also.
That the amount of money which q
candidate may expend to procure his
election be limited. That the courts
be empowered to review the acts of
political state conventions and state
committees in expelling delegates and
members. That any general committee
of a party may adopt rules for direct
nominations of candidates at primaries.
On the recount matter the governor re-
viewed the efforts of Hearst to secure
a recount and said: ut is a matter
of the gravest concern that the view
should be largely, even though enron
eously, held that one who has been
elected to Office has been deprived of
his seat through invalid returns. The
failure to obtain a summary recount
through a defect in the law has ag-
gravated the sense Of injustice"
Conventions Need Curb.
With reference to empowering the
courts to review the acts of political
conventions the governor held that
there is no limitation upon the author
fly of political state conventions and
state committees arbitrarily to exclude
honestly elected delegates and mem
bers, and that the fraudulent or cor
rupt action of such a convention Oh
committee cannot be reviewed or cor
rectcd by any court "Minorities should
not be permitted to make themselve:
majorities by the arbitrary seizure o.
political organization, said Governo
Hughes, nor through corruption or dis
honest methods, and the courts SHOULD
be vested with ample power to review
in summary manner all such abuse
and to restore to defrauded persons thu
political rights to which they are just
~ entitled"

JUST TRY|T, GENTS. :"
IF You Would Find the Sting in
the Business End of the
Pure Food Law.
SECRETARY WILSON'S DEFIANCE
Some Pointers for Producers of Bot
tied and Canned Goods-Eight
from Headquarters, Too.

Washington. Jan. 3.-"We cannot
say definitely what class Of merchants
or manufacturers we shall reach first
in the enforcement Of the pure food
and drugs act" said Secretary Wilson,
Of the department of agriculture, but
you may take it to be certain that
among the first to be reached will be
the fellows who defy the law" The
secretary's statement was made after
he bad read a circular recently issued
by the National Wholesale Grocers' as
sociation. Among other comments on
the law contained in the circular were
these: There IS nothing in the law
that prohibits the sale Of goods con-
tanning any particular coloring matter
or preservadve. Parties desiring to
use fictitious names might organize
firms or corporations under these
names. Fictitious names may be used
with impunity until next October"
''Let Them Try It." Says Wilson.
while the departmental machinery
for the enforcement of the law has not
/ been completed yet" continued Secre-
tary Wilson. the law is now in force,
/ and any merchant or manufactures
who violates it does so at his peril.
IL any Of these gentlemen think they
can defy the law with impunity let
/ them try it, and I will undertake to
assure them, eventually, summons to
appear before a United States court"
The secretary further stated that, I'M
der the regulations issued by the de-
partment, such labels as are now in
the hands of manufacturers and deal
ers may be used until the LIST of next
October, because the department had
no desire to impose upon them a heavy
loss by forcing the destruction Of 8
/ quantity of expensive labels
Woe to the Unpastered Label.
But" said the secretary, ION al
products entering into interstate or for
eign commerce it will be necessary to
have a label that will show what the
/ package contains. If the old label does
not show this fact a paster must be
put on the package which will show
it. If the manufa cturer or dealer
/
the package, he becomes at once amen
able to the law. For instance, cottoI
seed oil may not be sold for olive oil
IF the package contain cotton seed OIL
either the label or the paster mus
show that it is cottonseed oil, so that
the purchaser may know that he is no
getting olive oil.
May just as Well Come Down.
IF unwholesome coloring matter j:
used by the manufacturer in the prepa
ration of any product he will lay him
self liable to prosecution. No anilint
dyes or deleterious preservatives will
be permitted in food products. anC
manufacturers may as well make III
their minds to that and adjust thei
/ business accordingly"
