NOT FAIRLY QUOTED
ON MILK QUESTION

Editor Press: Some of the quo.
tations, as reported in the Chron-
icle, of DR.. Ric' ards interview with
the board of health are absolutely
wrong. We claim that the city is
supplied with infected milk; that
probably 40 per cent of the milk
cows are consumptive; that some
stables are not in sanitary condi-
ton; that cows udders are not
washed before milking in the ma
jority of cases; milk wagons are
not clean: that the milk contains
visible dirt composed of poisonous
matter. We hold that the tuber-
culosis test is nearly infallible and
any analysis is a secondary consid-
Grafton. We have no restriction
against consumptive meat being
sold in the markets. The state AMI
) city authorities are working along
the same lines and corroborate our
statements as to consumption and
many other points. DR.. Richards
did not insist on or wish a discus.
sion of chemical examination.
There would be no object in our
giving names Of persons supplying
unsanitary milk to the board OF
health when they maintain they
have no jurisdiction over consump
tive cows AMI their product. Fur
thermore, it would be unfair tC
mention a few when it is conceded

BRYAN TRUE TO SILVER IDOL
Belief In His Panacea Will Remain
Unshaken.
Declaration OF Faith Made to Cover

1t would be extremely unlind to
say that Mr.. Bryan is tickle in his
political belief. His best friends
would be the last to make such an
assertion. for they realize thoroughly
that their leader. when lie has once
implanted conviction firmly in his
mind clings to it like grim death
This is especially true of Mr.
Bi%an's attitude on the silver ques-
ton through which he first rose to
prominence. He has very little to say
about that question at present, but
that he is absolutely certain that
it is a subject of the greatest i'm
portance and that his own particular
financial panacea is the only safe
guide for the United States may be
plainly seen from the following OK
tracts from his collected wisdom:

WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT.
A Man Who Has Done Things.

Responding to the call of the na
ton for man equal to the emergen-
eies confronting the Republic, the
people themselves have found him and
presented him to the electorate.
Naturally, the people sought among
themselves for one truly representa-
tive to the highest ideals of American
citizenship. Their misunderstanding
and correct valuation of men led them
to the individual who more thoroughly
than amy other fulfilled their require
ments-and that was William Howard
Taft.
William Howard Taft, of Cincn-
lati, Ohio, probably is the way ne
would designate himself That desig-
lation, however, is grossly inadequate.
'or while Mr.. Taft is an American OF
americans, he is also citizen of the
world who, as invited guest, counselor
