POLLUTION OF
FAMOUS WATER
Was Necessary TO
Save Report.
Use Of salt, Citric Acid, VitrioI, Mar

Was Forced.
JUST TO INCREASE THE OUTPUT

Albany. n. Y. April 17.-"The
hundreds of thousands of persons
who quaff Saratoga water, drink a
medicine or beverage, doctored with
salt. citric acid and other chemicals
carbonated with vitriol and marble
dust"
This was the charge uttered to the
senate committee on judiciary by
Robert c. Morris, former chairman
of the New York Republican commit
tee and counsel for the National Car
bonlc Gas company.
Defenders of the springs confessed
that in some instances the charge
might prove well founded, but ex-
cused the adulteration by saying that
this method was the only one that
could save the great natural health
resort from ruin.
Morris, collaborating with Former
Senator Edgar T. Bracket, appeared
before the committee to try to defeat
the Wemple bill which prohibits
in the vicinity of the springs
Bracket espoused the cause of the
New York, the Lincoln and other gas
companies.
Gas Sucker Invasion.
Mr.. Morris, who claimed to repre-
sent concern that has invested a
million dollars in manufacturing gas
at Saratoga. submitted sworn evil
dence of the contamination of the
spring waters that startled the legis-
lators.
Judge Nash lockwood speaking
for the owners or lessees, answered
that because they ran dry through
the invasion of gas sucker compa-
nies" artificial means had to be en-
ployed TO rosuscitate them.
He denied. however, that the
springs were poisoned. Mr.. Morris
that the promoters of the
waters had combined to drive him
and his company out of business and
accused them of violating the pure
food law.

its mails abroad in vessels that are

THE ARMY CANTEEN

Since tho adjustment of the army
canteen, the public has, heard con-
siderable argument pro and con re-
garding the restoration of the SCR
vice. In line with Lord Roberts of
the British army, General Miles, now
retired, favored the complete eXclu-
sion OF all spirituous liquids from the
army posts. But there are many
high officers in the service who be-
lieve that the canteen should be re-
stored. They base their belief upon
the conduct of the men in the ranks
since the latter were deprived of the
privilege of securing limited supply
of intoxlcants without going beyond
the confines of their posts.
According to those who advocated
the adjustment of the canteen, the
repeated application of the War De-
partment for the repeal of the law is
not based upon facts. For the pur-
pose of answering this assertion, Ma
Jor General Bell, chief of stan, has

THE LATEST MESSAGE

The message of President Roose-
welt to the Houses of Congress urges
additional legislation concerning the
relations between capital and labor,
and thus becomes of special interest
n the wage-earners. The Supreme
Court having decided that the om-
ployers' liability law IS unconstitu-
tional, he urges its re-enactment,
limiting its scope so as to apply to
cases to which the court says 1t can
constitutionally apply. He presents
the case very fOrcefully and Congress
should, and undoubtedly Will, heed
his recommendation The message
argument, and his suggestions and
conclusions meet many of the Objec-
lions that have been raised against
legislation that favored the employe.
II is all wrong, he says to use the In
junction to prevent entirely proper
and legitimate actions of labor or
CARNATIONS in their struggle for in
dustrial betterment, or under the
guise of protecting property rights
unwarrantably to invade the funda-
mental rights Of the individual. To
this sentiment the laboring body will
respond. and capital cannot justly OBJ
ject to It, 1t is in the interest OF the
square deal, for which the President
has always been an advocate, lie in
sists on such laws as shall better Sc
cure control over the great business
concerns engaged in interstate COM
merce, and he would have the Inter
state Commerce Commission given

that u is possible. but, If it is, he
would have law enacted that would
restrain stock watering and over-cap-
itallzatiou. lie is as pronounced as
ever in his enmity toward predatory
wealth. and he says that the people
pay dearly for allowing their repre-
pnlatiyes TO preach and to practice
mat there is one law for the rich and
another for the poor. The President
realizes that his attacks upon great
examinations of capital have aroused
a bitter antagonism, and he devotes
considerable space in his message to
an ANALYSIS of the conditions which
have grown up in the country aud
against which he has arrayed HIM
self with a courage that appeals to
the people. It is defence of his Ad-
mIni8tration which some may say
was not required, but which will
place In the hands of those who read
IL the arguments they may find use
full. The message is long, as all the
Presidents State papers are, but Is
carefully considered. and all the
points elaborated, and it will take Its
place as one OF the important adj
dresses Of his Administration. II
will be widely read and sharply crit
icised. but IL the Congress gives II
the attention it deserves, Legislation
will result that will be of lasting
benefit to the entire country.
