Inadequacy of State Laws

For long while the nation itself failed to realize the
fact that the states could protect only their citizens
against each other but could not protect them from the
citizens of other states 1t was finally seen that be-
cause of their inability the state line the state
laws worked injustice. So after many years of agi-
taon, Congress enacted law designed protect the
citizens of against the Vaccinations of the
citizens of another state
A who sells you something for butter which is
not butter is decever This is simple illustration
of the character of the ethical principle which has been
violated in trade and which has made it necessary
to have these laws protect the honest manufacturer
ard jobber against the deCeiver.
One day last winter sent to my house
by mistake artificial lamb chops = bones on
which meat cut from just behind the ear had been
threaded very carefully to make them appear like
lamb chops. 1t is all right to sell old bones as old
bones, meat behind the by its proper name, but
to sell a combination of old bones and meat from be-
hind the as lamb chops is a rank deception. 1t is
a violation of the principle of ethics in trade
Since the National Pure Food Law has been put
into effect, we have had a protest from miers'
association = honest men they naturally = mers
always honest The Secretary of Agriculture
being an honest man himself had issued an order to
the effect that when miller sold rye flour it should be
rye flour and not mixture of rye flour and flour made
from some other grain. The Secretary said to the
mllers:
III you send a flour labeled rye -four out of one

you will get into trouble. -. ,.,.., A.
The n7iIlers in annual convection denounced this
ruling They said they had been nlxi,oo Wheat nour

rye flour and they intended to keep on doing It. There
is no objection the part of the Department to selling
the mixture of flour and wheat -four but when such
mixture is sold pure rye -four, you get something

We sit at a table delightfully."- spread,
And teeming with good things to eat,
And dainty finger the cream-tinted bread
Just needing to make it complete
A film OF the butter so yellow and sweet
Well suited TO make every minute
A dream CT delight, and yet while eat
We cannot help asking, WHATS in It?"
CHORUS
Ali Be certain you know what is in it
IT'S question in place every minute,
Oh! How happy I'd be could ! only once see
With certainty all that is in it.
Oh maybe this bread contains alum and chalk
Or sawdust chopped up very fine,
Or gypsum in powder, about which they talk,
Terra alba just out OF the mine.
And our faith in the butter is apt to be weak,
For we haven't good place TO pin it,
Annatto's so yellow and beef fat so sleek,
Oh, l wish l could know what is in it.
CHORUS.
The pepper, perhaps, contains cocoanut shells
And the mustard is cottonseed meal,
The coffee, in sooth, of baked chicory smells,
And the terrapn tastes like roast veal
The wine which you drink never heard OF a grape,
But OF tannin and Coal-tar Is made
And you could not be certain except for their shape
hat the eggs by chicken were laid.
CHORUS.
And the salad which bears such an innocent look,
And whispers OF fields that green,
Is covered with germs each armed with hook,
To grapple your liver and spleen.
No matter how tired and hungry and dry,
The banquet how fine = don't begin it
Till you think of the past and the future and sigh
Oh wonder, wonder what's in it?
CHORUS.
And the maid OF your choice with the exquisite voice
Whom you've loved for month if not longer
Perhaps has said YES and it's time to rejoice
Aid to foster the faith that grows stronger.
But that true heart 50 dear now ernbed with fear
And with doubt when you struggled to win it,
And now that it's yours, beg do not ieer,
When ask Are you certain what's in t?'

inclined to boast of this country, of our power,
OF our resources and of our growth. Our
prosperity is largely dependent upon our nat
ural resources; it is not because we are any
better farmers than other peoples - as rule,
we are not as good. 1t is not because we have
greater inventive genius, for while we take out
more patents than any other people in the
world, Judging from what | have taken out
myself, they are not worth much. We are
not harder workers, nor do we work more
hours than other peoples. 1t is true we take
less time for our meals, and there is good excuse
for that because they are less fit to eat than
those of other countries. If our meals were
as carefully prepared and as good we would take
more time. | never blame a man for taking
only five or six minutes for his meals If they
are like some of the meals | have had, the
shorter time he spends at it the better Our
success and our greatness as a nation are
founded, largely, upon our natural resources.
Ii ethics and faith be the essence of trade,
and if all commerce is founded thereon, as it
must be, then that same principle should extend
to all commercial and manufacturing operations.
Years ago. in Great Britain they had laws
which prevented merchant from misbrand-
ing his goods; but that was not sufficient,
because it was possible to evade the provisions
of the law in the matter of foods and drinks by
aduterating them. So, some twenty five years
ago, still further to protect the people of Great
Britain, Parliament enacted what is called the
foods and drugs act, law which is still in active
force among Erglishmen.
We have been slow to follow in the footstep
Great Britain. Among the first laws passed by
legislatures forbidding misbranding of merchan
was one applying to fertilizers, and this the
runner of other laws protecting other branche
industries.

When one descends upon Wall street,

for lawyer? Folks around here think
I'm pretty smart woman, and I don't

That bean pole of a young man would
not know enough to cross examine an
old cow"
Lawyer Parsons, who was the lead
ing member of the bar in the town.,
was retained, and the expected sum
mons was served next day. A week
later the suit came on. During the in
teryal young Livingstone drove ont to
the Johnson farm. Miss Prue had
gone to town to do some shopping, and
the mother was blunt and brusque.
The budding attorney almost offered
his services in the coming suit, and the
look he received in reply fingered with
him for many hours. When Prue got
home she was told that there had got
to be a stop to this sort of thing, but
when she burst into tears and said
she could not help it her mother was
reasonable enough to reply that maybe
she could not.
The girl went to town with the moth
er on the day of the suit. In the court
room a shock of surprise awaited her.
Darius Livingstone appeared as counsel
for the complainant Yes, he was there
in all his dignity, and he didn't seem
a bit frightened that it was his first
case and that he was matched against
one of the oldest and smartest lawyers
in the county. He nodded to Prue and
would have done the same to her moth
er had she not just then been engaged
In whispering to her daughter:
"Prue Johnson, look over there! As
true as you live your bean pole Of q
young man is going to take the case
against me! That's another specimen
Of his cheek. You wait, however.
When Parsons gets through with him
there'll be only a grease spot left"
Surprise after surprise was the order
Of the day. The plaintiff really had n
chattel mortgage on the cows. They.
had been driven away and sold. In
buying them Mrs. Johnson had taken
the sellers work. Her lawyer argued
that this was customary, but bean
pole' brought in six witnesses to prove
to the contrary. Mrs. Johnson was
made to admit that she was business
woman and that she had never bought
even a chicken without being guaran-
teed. A dozen errors were made In
her case, and before 1t was concluded
Mr.. Parsons was made to look extreme
~ foolish. The jury gave verdict for
the plaintiff and Prue shed tears be-
meath her veil and realized that she
would see no more Of Lincoln No. 2.
She was in despair when her mother
walked up to the young attorney and
held out her hand, saying:
"Sir, am blunt and plain spoken
