State Pure Food Law.

Chattanooga Times.
 Since Congress passed the pure food law applying to interstate commerce Tn food, drinks and drugs. last June, 1t has been recognized that the dif- ferent States would consider legisla ton of the same general character this
 This pure food law had been be- fore Congress for nearly twenty years and was finally passed during the meat inspection excitement of last summer Its provisions impose severe penalties for adulterations for misbranding, for printing any statements on packages of food or medicines that are untrue or misleading in any particular" and provide that the proportions of alcohol, opium, morphine and all other mar Gotics shall be printed on the labels and wrappers. This measure has been accepted by the press and people of the country as satisfactory reform measure in which both parties in Con" gress joined in practically unanimous action
 The pure food law became effective January l, and the department / of agriculture has made extensive prep aration for the enforcement of the new measure It is stated that in comply ing with the law and the rules and regulations issued by the bureau of chemistry, all of the hundreds of thousands of wrappers and labels used in interstate commerce have been changed and that there is very com mendable purpose shown by manufac- turers, 1obbers and retailers, to conl- ply with the new law in letter and in , spirit. The bureau of chemistry asks for $937,O00 appropriation for next year and announces that this law will be strictly enforced. Branch laboratories are to be established in different parts of the country and large force of in- spectors is to be employed.
 It appears that under existing condi- tions it Is plainly eXpedient for the various States to make their legisla- ton harmonious with the national law, It would be unnecessarily confusing and demoralizing to the trade and peo- pie of Tennessee to have different reg ulations applying to goods made out side of the State than to products man uractured inside the State. The people only desire that the public health be protected with as little demoralization 10 business as possible and Congress having acted on such broad and satis- factory lines. 1t is hoped that legis- lation at Nashville will be In harmony with the national bill, which is so very satisfactory to the people. Every. con sideration of economy of administra- lion, facility of business and certainly of practical enforcement suggest that course

informed that the young woman had attempted suicide by taking strychnine "a charge apparently as destitute of foundation as the assertion that she was intoxicated when arrestel. When the young lady's father discovered her in the hospital to which she had been removed and explained that the police had made blunder. they calmly per- sisted in their charge that the unfortu- nate girl was drunk when found in the park Now. what recourse have this family for the wrong to which they have been so brutally subjected.
 We presume 1t Is Idle to talk of re- course or satisfaction with either of these altogether disreputable affairs. New York is one of the most thorough ly politically governed cities in the Union, and the police force is part and parcel of the machine. Redress for such outrages as we have referred to Is not to be expected as long as high officials are put in place as rewards for politi- cal services ,and the ranks are filled with favorites of ward heelers. IL does seem, though. that there. should somewhere be a remedy Tor such in- justice and punishment for brutes who wear police badges.

One of the most vivid illustrations of the value of modern discovery is shown when we speak of the battle of New Orleans. The treaty of Ghent, as it Is universally known, ended the second war with Great Britain. That treaty was concluded December 24, 1874, yet the fierce battle of New Orleans was fought on January s, 1915, two weeks after the treaty was signed. If con- ditions then had been as they are now, the official news of that treaty would have been cabled at once across the ocean and an armistice would have been entered into by the commanders of the armies and no more fighting would have occurred. As 1t was the news did not get to this side until the battle Ahad been fought and many lives sacrificed. That one instance illustrates the great value of the electric telegraph in war, as it's uses In peace are constantly shown in the commercial and the or- hcial affairs of nations.

The saw mill men of Alabama are very much exercised over that portion of Governor Corners message to the Legislature. in which he suggests diff xerent assessment to saw mill men owning timber than It does to farmers
 uhe saw mill men have already taken this matter up and are sending in pro- teEts against any such one sided bill
 II is generally conceded that our forests are at present being cut up at a very hapid rate. and If these interests are burdened by increased taxes. It will simply make them cut up the timber Easter.

Do You Know Who You are HittinEis AlbertVille Banner.

The interstate commerce law did an unconstitutional act when it refused newspapers the right to sell their stock in trade to the railroads of the coun- try in exchange for mileage. And now some thimble- headed galoots down public favor, would try to make the pencil-pushers walk even in their own State.
 However, we are informed that the Legislature will not countenance such a bill and that the crisis in regard to the passes is now over.
 The newspapers of the State had much to do with the personnel of the present Legislature, and they will con- tinue to wield the same influence in the formation of all future ones. and any attempt by legislators to divest the press of the State of it's just rights and privileges should be met in re- taliatory manner.

The Worlds work for February.

The February Worlds Work con tains the second lnstalmept of c. M. Keys's notable and much discussed bi- chapter chapter deals with 'srhe Building of His Empire" and shows in vivid and dramatic fashion, and with the aid of numerous illustrations, how HarrimaR got his grip on the railroads of the United States Another notable feature is The Twentieth Century Is Canada's" by Agnes C. Laut the we'll known Cam adian novelist, who tells the romantic story of how the Canadians are just discovering their own great country. It is profusely illustrated. A third feature of timely and graphic interest is "Belgian Rule on the Congo" by Samuel P. Werner. the African traveller, who spent six years at the Congo, and who writes from an intimate experi- ence. This article is illustrated by some of the most remarkable photo- graphs yet made in this widely dis cussed region. Editorial announce ment Is made of series of first-hand Investigations of our great educational institutions, under the title, Are Our Colleges Doing Their Job?" Other articles in this number include. Our Lives Shortening" by M. c. Cunniff "Traiung for the Trades" hy Arthur W. Page; Russia as Seen in Its Work ing Men" by Leroy Scott; standing and Walking Erect" by Dr. Luther H Gulick, and Our Great River" by W. J. McGee.

The fundamental basis of a Repub- liean form of government State or Na- tional Is that there are three distinct departments of government, to-wit:-- Executive, Legislative and Judicial. It appears, however. from the manner in which bills are being passed and then re-considered and amended and defeat ed, that the Legislative and Executive Departments of the Alabar,a govern ment have been substantially merged.

There should Re a Limit.

 The lobby bill up before the Leg islature is all right. It is aimed par ticularly at the railroad lobbyist and Is a good measure no doubt; but there should be an amendment to it provid-. ing for the punishment of a governor who undulE attempts to bulldoze, threaten or iutimidate members of a Legislature. There should be a limit placed upon tho right of a governor to but in also. aud his privileges as au executive should be defined to mean executive. and not executive and boss of the legislative branon of our State government.

MORE POLICE BRUTALITY.

Is there no limit to the brutality and assininity of the police force of New York? Is there no method by which sense and ordinary respect for decency can be innoculated into them? It has been but a short while since the news papers told of the indlgnity and mis- treatment to which a highly respect able woman of that city was subjected; how she was brutally arrested, roughly treated and locked up on the testimony of a man who falsely swore that she was one Of two women who held him up and robbed him. The story was ab- surd on its face. and the action of the authorities wholly inderensible, but there was no redress. Now from The Hartford Times we get this:
