Labor's Share.

According to the statement put
forth by Vice President Brown, of
the New York Central Railroad, the
total of gross earnings of all the
railways of the United States last
year was sass, $4,000. How is
this vast sum distributed? Mr..
Brown has made a study of railway
statistics, as result of which he
furnishes some interesting deduc-
tions. There are 225,O0O miles of
railroads in the country, employing
in the aggregate 1,675,O00 men and
earning more than 100000 for
each day in the year. Out of each
$100 earned. he says, 81 goes either
directly or indirectly to labor. The
apportionment of earnings is as fol-
lows:
Employees on pay roll. ........$ 40

BISCUIT RULING

SHALL BISCUITS HEREAFTER BE

THEY BE CREAMY?

Is bleached -four. the kind that all
housewives recognize as the "pur-
est in the world. to soon fall under
the ban Of the state and national pure
food act?
That is a question which is puzzling
the thinking apparatus Of Commits
sioner Of Agriculture 7. G. Hudson.
and he confesses ne doesn't know
what to do about it.
Mr. Hudson has just received cir
eular from James Wilson. secretary
Of the United States department Of
agriculture at Washington. which con-
tains the significant statement that it
is his opinion. based upon the nnani-
NOUS opinion OF the board of food and
drug inspection. that -four bleacned
by nitrogen peroxide is an adulterated
product under the food ana drugs act
Of 1906 and that such -four can not
be legally made and sold in the Dis
tsict Of Columbia, or the territories,
nor transported or sold in interstate
commerce"
Then Secretary Wilson goes on to
say that because Of the immense
quantity of bleaehed -four now on
hand no prosecutions will be instituted
inside Of six months. After that time
1t win be all OF" for interstate ship
ments Of white -four.
Under that ruling, said Mr.. Hud-
son Thursday manufacturers of the
bleacned -four IN Georgia may sell
their product in this state. but they
cannot ship ii to other states.
The question am puzzling over
Is whether this state should follow
the action OF the national government
and stop its manufacture here.
II bleaching is a dangerous process
Il should be stopped but II II IS not
dangerous II should not be interfered
with, in my opinion. because il the
manufacturers are compelled 10 stop

up, because ny the bleaching process

Los Angeles, Cal, Dispatch, 10th.


Reluctant admissions made by
postal officers Of three cities to-
day confirm to some extent the
belief that the disappearance of
a registered mail pouch some
where within the jurisdiction of
the Kansas City postoffice last
Saturday night will prove to be
one of the largest losses in the
history of the Postoffice Depart
ment. From private sources it
was learned to day that a pack
age of at least $50, 900 in curren-
cy was among the contents OF
the pouch which carried, in addi-
ton, an unusually large number
of letters and packages contain
ing money and other valuables.
The amount may reach a TO-
tai of 100000.
The pouch was in transit from
Los Angles to New York and the
postal inspectors refuse any ex
PLANTATION of the manner ir
which it became lost. That ;
pouch of value has disappeared
was admitted to-day by the de
partment at Washington, b.
