KANSAS CITY, Oct 81. L. Woods

mttteeman for Missouri OF the Inde-

This is to notify you that I with
draw all relations or connections as

my name connected with any party or
persons who purchase or otherwise OBJ
tain correspondence stolen by other
persons for publication to the detriment
or downfall OF other persons, for the
upbuilding Of yourself or the Independ-
ence Party.
also, | do not wish my name con-
nected with party whose affiliations
are so closely connected with other par
ties and whose only aim is to help to
defeat Bryan. Taft wanted Foraker
put out OF business and you played the
part Of Remover, and with n grand
stand play TO keep up appearances went
after Haskell, with no proof of guilt, to
down Bryan. and in my belief the INDIE
spndence party receives its campaign
money from Republican sources
Il was led to believe the Independence
Party's platform was to advocate the
principles OF jefferson and Lincoln and
to build up from the better class, from
all parties, and stand for the best in
terests Of the common people, and not
affiliate with nor favor any party"
Mr.. Merrill asserts that the indie
pendence Party has not kept these
promises. and adds:

H. H. Langdon, Food Expert. 427 West
Twenty Second Street. New York,
Nov 10, 1908.
Editor, TIMES. Sir: 1 note in your
october "a issue that six persons were
made i'll in Hammond by partaking of
food in which poisonous ptomaines had
developed. 1t is certainly appalling to
learn how rapidly ptomaine poisoning
cases have increased since the enforce
ment of the pure food law. According
to press dispatches there have been in
the United States, since the enforce
ment of the pure food law. eleven thou
sand seven hundred and eighty
cases of ptomaine poisoning, 423 Of
which were fatal. Prior to the enact
ment of the pure food law borax and
boric acid were used on meat, fish, fowl
sausage, oysters, etc, consequently such
food which readily becomes contami-
mated was kept in a hygienic, health
full condition.
The pure food law compels truthful
labels on all articles. packages or con-
tanners a. food. truthful label, how
ever. upon meat, fish. fowl. sausage,
oysters etc, will not prevent them from
spelling, so that conditions are favor
able for the propagation of poisonous
germs Thus. while the pure food law
compels truthful labels, it does not. on
account of prohibiting personalities.
insure that food will reach the consum-
er in a pure, healthful condition; Meth
er does the label prevent perishable
articles of food from deteriorating
when in the consumers hands so as
to become a menace to health and life.
The authorities should realize the
above facts and amend the laws so that
personalities would be permitted on all
articles of food that favor the propa-
cation Of poisonous germs.
Yours very truly,
H H LANGDON.

Del, Nov. IL, 1871. After completing
his education at the Lawrenceville
school in New Jersey, he became con-

president of several banks and trust
companies and director in numerous
railways, insurance companies and
large industrial corporations. In 1904
he was elected governor of Delaware
on the republican ticket. His term of

Harry Thaw killed a man.

Harry Thav killed man.
He was saved from the electric chair
by his plea of insanity and the ex-
penditure of 100000 in high priced
lawyers, experts, etc. He was finally
declared insane.
During his stay in jail be had spe-
cial accommodations and enjoyed
many Injuries refused to the ordinary
jail prisoner. In the lunatic asylum
where be was sent he was given com
parative freedom and was served with
many dainties.
Then Thaw was released from the
insane asylum by writ of habeas cor
pus.
He was taken to jail, where the priv
ileges granted him became a constant
~ increasing scandal.
Thaw had an entire floor of the Jail
to himself, with thirteen cells for his
bedrooms, the hall for a smoking room
and dining room. His meals were serv-
ed by a private caterer; he had flow
ers, books and magazines in profusion.

BECAUSE THAw HAD PLENTY
OF MONEY.
No poor man could have had such
privileges and attentions. For the or
binary prisoner-the narrow cell, the
iron cot. the coarse food. the gruff
orders.
Now, such discrimination is not only
subversive of justice and wrong; it is
impolitic and DANGEROUS.
1t tends not merely to break down
prison discipline; it outrages every
sense of justice.
When you show the poor man that
equity is denied him in the courts be
cause the rich man can hire able law.
yers. when you show him that money
will buy special privileges and immu
mites from prison officials. privileges
denied the poor prisoner, you foster
class consciousness and strike q body

The nauseous details of the ThaH
trial carried contamination and mora
danger The story of the special ia

er is even more dangerous socially.
