The Pure Food Law.

Secretary Wilson says, "One of the
objects of the law is to inform the
consumer of the presence of certain
harmful drugs in medicines" The
law requires that the amount of chic
reform, opium, morphine, and other
habit forming drugs be stated on the
label of each bottle. The manufactur-
ers of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
have always claimed that their rene
dy did not contain any of these drugs,
and the truth of this claim is now
fully proven, as no mention of them
is made on the label. This remedy is
not only one of the safest, but one of
the best in use for coughs and colds.
Its value has been proven beyond ques-
ton during the many years 1t has
been in general use. For sale by 2.

A LIBEL ACCUSATION
Brought Against Messrs.
Barnett and Pauley.
CRIMINAL LIBEL IS CHARGED
Against A. S. of E. Officials
BY DepOSed President,
J. A. EYeritt.

A dispatch from Indianapolis, Ind,
dated January Sth, says:
President c. M. Barnett and Secre-
tary o. d. Pauley, of the American
Society of Equity, were arrested yes
terday afternoon on charges of GRIM
inal libel preferred by ]. A. Everitt,
deposed President of the organization.
Ex-Gov. w. s. Taylor, of Kentucky,
assisted in furnishing bond for Bar
nett and Pauley in the sum of $500
each, and Taylor will act as Barnett's
attorney.
A warrant has been issued for the
arrest of Garrett M. Walrod, of Ten
nessee, member of the Executive Board,
now in session. Everett's action is
based on allegations made against him
in a circular sent out soon after the
close of the stormy session of the So
ciety in this city in October, when he
was removed from the control of the
society's affairs and his contract as
publisher of the official organ repudi-
ated.
The circular was sent out from head
quarters in this city to the agricultural
press of the county and it's evident pur-
pose was to convey the news that
Everitt had been permanently, retired
and his paper, Up-to Date Farming,
disowned.
1t sets out several things uncompli-
mentary to Everitt but the
ones to which he takes ex-
ception in the affidavit filed
in the Criminal Court are contain
ed in paragraphs that say the Post
office Department had had Everitt
under surveillance for twenty years
for attempts to use the mails to
defraud, and that he had been arrested
for that reason; that he was prac-
tically driven from the State of Penn
sylvania because Of crookedness; that
he sold as Columbia seed wheat,
wheat he had bought as No. mixed.
Only the statute of limitation saved
him on this charge, said the circular.
During the October convention the
allegations related were freely made,
and the purport of the circular is that
the allegations were shown to be facts
at this convention.
Barnett and Pauley refuse to discuss
Everitt's charges further than to laugh
at them. 1t is understood, however,
that they deny personal responsibility
for the circular, though it bears their
stereotyped signatures. AS to whether
they would attempt to prove the truth
of the charges to which Everitt object
they would not say.

vote or even to the popularity Of the
Republican candidate, for he actually
received fewer votes than theRepub-
lican candidate of four years ago. The
trouble was that the liquor question
hurt the Democratic party in the cities
while fractional fights within the party
hurt it in the country. Much as the
result Is to be deplored, there is no
reason to doubt that the Democratic
party will carry the State by a large
majority in the Presidential campaign
of 1905, foi all of the factions are
united on national policies. Kentucky
will be in the Democratic column as
sure as election day comes.-W. j.

THE AWFUL TORTURE
OF Solitary Confinement
Year After Year.
WHAT IT MEANS TO THE VICTIM
Only Man Who Ever Endured
II for Eight Years and
Remained Sane.

Where has been much talk of late
in France and elsewhere of the sup
preston Of the death penalty. The
guillotine is to go and solitary con-
finement is to take its place. There
is a man In Paris who knows what
the punishment of solitary confine-
ment really means, and it will be of
interest, says the London Evening
Standard, to hear what Amilcare CT
priani, who has undergone the pun
ishwent in Italy, has to say about
1t. Cipriani, the King-hater, is an
old man now. He lives in Paris,
where his gaunt face and long beard
are as well known on the boulevards
as the Theater des Varieties itself.
He was SENTENCED when Zanardelli was
Minister of Justice, to twenty-five
years solitary confinement and he
recalls the phrase that Sig. -Zanardelli
uttered in the Italian Parliament to
reussure those members Of it who
thought that the guillotine should not
be done away with. eve are abol-
ishing the death penalty" he said,
"but in its place we shall give GRIM
inals a punishment, which will make
them long fol it."
"And he spoke the TRUTH" says NJ.
Cipriani, for solitary punishment is
a thousand times more cruel than a
blow from an ak and leap into eter-
nifty. Solitary confinement In a cell is
a 9lingerine agony, after two or three
years of which the strongest man
must die or must go mad. He is
literally buried alive His food is just
enough to keep life in him. He may
neither read or write and gets no
news from outside, even of his fam
lily. He may receive no visits and
have no intercourse with anybody. He
may not talk, and If he does ask
question of one of the jailers the jaile
does not answer or answers by sign.
H enever leaves his cell except for the
mathouse or the cemetery. He sees
nobody and hears no human voice.
He does not even see a doctor If he
is i'll. If he breaks into open revolt
his jailers may do what they like
with him. They may kill him if they
wish, and in Italy they often do so.
No man has ever yet lived and re-
NAMED sane for ten whole years of
this terrible punishment.

 The text of the presidents letter is as follows:
 ITO the Department of Justice-I forward herewith the report of the h. terstate Commerce Commission con- taining it's order of June 27. 1907. and the report Of the failure of the rail- road companies te obey this order. under the date of March 26. 1908, to- gether with a letter of the commits sion April l. 1908.

 The commission has taken what is unquesfionably the right ground :: where separate accommodations are provided for white and cciored pas | sengers. the accommodations for col ored passengers should be as good as those furnished white passengers for the same money. Tn. o.her words. while there is nothing in the i-w which forbids separate accon1meda- tions, these accommodations must te equal. The principle of equality of 1 accommodations is set oat explicitly in various state laws For instance. 1 the code of the state Of Alabama pro- vides that there be equal. but separate 1 accommodations. for the white and 1 eelered races, by providing two Or more passenger cars for each passen- ger train. Or by dividing passenger cars by partitions. The action of the commission has simply been 10 insist that the accommodations must be of equal convenience and comfort for the same money, wherever separation is made.
