There is now no exigencies which re-

HUGHES LIKES WEST.
He Considers Himself Lucky to Be on
the Plains.

WATERFOWL. S. D., Oct. 6.-Swinging
across the Dakotas in his tour of the
northwest, Governor Charles E.
Hughes of New York, in a speech here
this morning declared he had become
thoroughly westernized.
IAN eastern man is lucky when he
gets into the west" said Governor
Hughes. you westerners may have
some prejudice against the east; per-
sonally like the western air; 1T agrees
with me. 1t has restored my voice.
There are many Of us on the Atlantic
coast who look longingly toward the
great northwest. 1t is here we look for
moral courage. vigor and intensity of
purpose. myself feel like a westerner
born in the east. I have left my own
state to come out here because of my
interest in the present campaign. This
business of electing a president is not
a mere matter of fanciful choice.

turists. Your interests and the inter

can not divide the people off into sec

banker. We have all got to get up to-

HIT BY PURE FOOD LAW.
Restaurant Man, Grocer and POI
Maker Fined for Violating Law.

Warning to restaurant keepers:
Don't fill your empty catSup bottles
with some inferior brand of catsup
and offer it to your customers to eat.
A restaurant down in southern Kansas
did that, and the proprietor was ar
rested by the pure food officials, and
had to pay a fine.
A similar case was that of the gro
Gerry firm of Wishropn & Henson, at
Paola. This firm secured some large
tin cans containing high priced coffee.
After selling the high priced coffee,
the cans were filled with cheaper cof-
fee, and the selling continued. The
food inspector discovered what was
going on, and it cost the grocery SIS
as minimum fine-first offense.
Another Paola firm which got into
trouble with the pure food officers was
the Paola bottling works. Frank J.
Keohler was arrested because he was
making pop which contained artificial
coloring, artificial f1avoring, and
sweetened with saccharine The label
on the bottle didn't say anything about
the artificial flavoring and coloring,
and the law absolutely prohibits sac
charine as a substitute for sugar
Saccharine is a coal tar product. 1t

VIRGINIA WHITAKER,
1874 Buchanan street"
The above communication was read
In council meeting last night and re-
ferred to the police committee and the
chief of police. In the debates that fol-
lowed the reading of this letter the
council got real warm over the matter
of reckless driving of autos in the
streets of the city. Councilman Fraser
opened the ball. He said this lady
lived in his ward and had told him
personally of the accident to her son
and the heartlessness of the auto driv-
er. He said a horse had been killed III
his ward the other day by a racing
auto which had thrown the animal sew
eral feet in the air He wanted some
thing done to regulate the speed OF
autos. While ninety per cent of the
drivers might be sane and careful, the
other ten per cent were speed mad and
criminally careless. Councilman Miller
advocated radical treatment in dealing
with the speed fiends. He wanted the
police instructed to stop these red
"chu-chu devils by shooting holes in
their tires if they did not heed the first
warning to stop. He declared that this
practice had been followed in Evan
ston, Ill, and the action of the police
had been upheld in the courts. Coun-
Gilman Howard stated that the police
were alive to the situation and had al
ready inaugurated a campaign against
the autoists and bicyclists who ride On
the sidewalks. There would be some
thing doing in the near future, he de-
clared.
