Editor VanDeusen OF the Blair Pilot
serves notice on The Bee that he did
not buy the reputation OF that paper
when he bought its type and presses,
and asks that this paper set him right
before the public. He says he is sup
porting the republican ticket, with tho
exception Of one Of the candidates for
the legislature, and that he is especially
DESTROYS OF seeing A. w. Jefferis
elected to congress. The Bee cheer
fully makes amends to Editor Van
Deusen and hopes he will be given full
opportunity &c rejoice over the cleo
ton, not only OF MIR. Jefferis, but of all
republicans who have his support. And,
as the one who hasn't has forfeited 1t

as being in favor OF county option,
The Bee hopes he will be elected too.

SERMONS BOILED DOWN.

Honey on the lips does not cure hatred
In the heart.
Many think they are shining when they
are only glazing.
The sins we wink at today are the ones
we wed tomorrow.
Tomorrow's burdens always prove too
much for today's back.
The saddest slavery is that of being
ruled by our pleasures.
You nave no right to set up your fad
as another mans faith.
The fool is known by offering his fore
thought after the event.
The secret Of success lies somewhere be-
tween wishing and willing.
II you would be f~arsighted you must
learn to live on the heights.
You cannot improve the breed by polish
ing the brass on the harness.
It's a sad day when d man lets his in
terests determine his principles.
Religion has no nome in the man who
does not show his religion at home.
It's usually the man who opens his mouth
widest who drinks in the most scandal.
When a sermon only reaches back 10

rood CONTROL PROBLEMS.

Federal authorities are experiencing
considerable difficulty in enforcing the
pure food law, due to the activity of
affected interests in bringing expert
testimony in support Of their methods
OF using materials in manufactures
that have been declared unwholesome
by the federal chemists. President
Roosevelt has sought to overcome this
obstacle in the way of pure food law
enforcement by the appointment Of a
board of chemists to whom disputed
questions shall be referred. One result
Of this has been a request for reference
to this board of almost every question
that has arisen in protest of enforce
ment of the law.
Just 10Y the board of referee chem
lists is wrestling with the sulphate of
copper question. The experts of the
Department OF Agriculture have de
coloring and preserving certain vege-
tables and canned goods preparations,
is injurious to health. The manufac-
turers have appealed from the decision,
and are offering expert testimony in
support OF their contentious. The d.
versity of the issues Ind the urgency
with which appeals are demanded in
dictate that there is special reason for
the existence of this board and en-
phasize the Importance of getting
prompt decisions from it.
The danger of loading up this board
with appeals, thus delaying the en-
forcement of the pure food regulations,
is apparent. 1t is important that ques-
lions relating to the use of sulphate
of copper, borax, b~enzoate of soda and
other colorings or p~reservatives should
be decided, not only for the benefit of
the consumers, but also for the benefit
Of the manufacturers whose plans for
next seasons packing may be altered
very materially by the boards decision.
The entire country has a keen interest
In the enforcement of the federal food
and drugs law and will resent any &C
tion on the part of manufacturers that
Is calculated to obstruct or retard
compliance with the provisions of the
measure. Manufacturers affected by
the law have had about two years in
which to readjust their methods and if
they have not done so, the fault is
theirs and the loss must be borne by
them. Injured manufacturers have a
right, under the law, to appeal to the
courts. In full justice to them, decis-
ions on mooted questions should be
made promptly by the referee chemists
and the way paved for full enforce
