ASKS FOR DIVORCE FROM

MOUNT PLEASANT. Iowa. Feb. A.
Warren Beckwith has filed in the dis

his wife, Jessie Lincoln Beekwith. who
Is the daughter Of Robert T. Lincoln, of

Lincoln.

nance which began in 1891 when Jessie
Lincoln, while visiting her grandfather,
Justice Harlan. at his home In this city.

The Pure Food Law.

The Peoples Lobby appears to
have performed a useful service in
pointing out the danger to the pure
food law if its enforcement shall be
hedged around by the remarkable
restrictions that the House Com
mittee on Appropriations proposes
To impose. There has been per-
sistent report ever since this meas
ure became law, that its enforce
ment was to be in some way handi-
capped and rendered ineffective. The
Times months ago gave publicity to
the fears of the responsible officials
in this regard. and it believes now
that unless the conditions of the
appropriation for enforcement are
changed. those fears will be con-
firmed.
State pure food laws must be adj
ministered by some plan of co-opera-
tion between the State and Federal
authorities if they are to be useful
in the fullest degree. 1t has been
the plan of the Department of Agri-
culture to secure this cooperation
by having the same man, in many
cases, hold commission from both
the State and the Federal pure food
officers, so that he could proceed
under whichever law promised best
TO protect the public in a given in
stance. But the House committees

Three Historic Figures
Washington.

Washington and Lincoln. Washington IS
the representative Of the first epoch IN
our history. and Lincoln the second.
The third epoch VIII be the completion
OF the Panama Canal. The nrst steD
OF the beginning was made under Presi-
dent Roosevelt. and believe the com
pletion Of the canal viii be under the
direction OF his guiding hand.
Surely President Roosevelt is a IA
vored son OF the Fates- His whole po-
litical life has been one OF surprises.
From his entrance into the New York
Legislature Up 10 the present hour. as
our Chief Executive, he has astOnished
his friends, COMPOUNDED his enemies, and
commanded the admiration and con
hdence of the people.
Impulsive, But Honest.
II know he is charged with being i'm
pulslve. and at times reckless. but a
close scrutiny into his acts reveals an
inherent honesty and lofty character
that carries with il a conviction that his
sole purpose has been for the welfare Of
the country. II is these traits OF char
acter that make him pre-eminently the
man 20 build the canal. l am sure that
II the President would intimate that he
would accept the responsibility OF carry
ing on the work OF building the canal

on him al the close OF his administration
to take up the work And would IL not

opinion, the recent earthquake al Kings
