Vendors Not Responsible.

Retailers of articles coming under the
pure food laws are not responsible for
the purity of the articles in their pos
session either before or since the law
was passed unless the impurities were
put in the article by the retailer. There
has been considerable worry and espe-
cially among the dispensers of liquor
because some of the goods which they
have on hand do not bear the label.
This fact makes little difference. The
government is after the man that mana
features the impure foods. If the
retailer is not responsible for the
adulteration of the goods then he is in
no manner liable; the government
agent and inspectors will merely trace
back the history of the goods in ques-
ton and ascertain who is responsible
and such person or company will be
prosecuted under the pure food laws

BRYAN AND KERN

We fling the banner of Bryan and
Kern to the breeze today.
Mr.. Bryan is SO well known to the
American people that he needs no words
of praise. He is Americas foremost
private citizen and Americas greatest
statesman.
We have not sufficient data at hand
to sketch the life of Mr. Kern, but the
fact that he was nominated by acclama-
ton after such men as Howell. Towne
and Mcneil had been placed in nomin
alton and declined, is proof positive that
he is man Of ability, integrity and
unquestiOned democracy.
With Bryan and Kern as our leaders
there should be no faltcring i'm the ranks

tory in November.

CRAFT SCANDAL
Former Chief Executive of Penn
sylvania Placed in Unfavorable
Light by Witness.
Claim is Made That Letter Intended
to be Misleading and a White
wash Was Prepared at Sugges-
ton of Pennypacker

Harrisburg, Pa.-The trial Of Con
tractor Sanderson and three former
state officers charged with conspiracy
in the furnishing of the new capitol
took a sensational turn on Friday,
when Stanford B. Lewis, assistant ia
Architect Huston, declared with dra,
matte earnestness that Illusions let
ter to former Attorney General Car
son, explaining his part in the con-
tracts, had been prepared at the sug-
gestion of former Governor Penny
packer, former Auditor General Sny-
der, one of the defendants, and Mr..
Carson, and that it was misleading
and intended to be a ''whitewash."
According to Lewis story, when 1t
came Huston's turn to write an an
swer to Mr.. Carson, Lewis was tele-
phoned to come over to Harrisburg by
Pennypacker and Snyder, and the let
ter was prepared at a conference with
those two officials and the former at
torney general, to dovetail in with
others prepared by state officers con.
nected with the construction and
equipment of the capitol. The letter
to which Lewis referred was one OF
series written during November and

Lisbon.-The republican leaders in
Portugal are in extremely high spir.
its. They assert confidently that a
republic is now a matter of months,
not OF years. One of the republican
leaders is quoted as saying: The end
OF the monarchy is. near. 1t will come
as Unexpectedly as did the murder of
the king and the crown prince, and
the world will wake up one morning
to find a republic in Portugal We
are convinced that the revolution will
be peaceful one. II is a mistake for
foreigners to imagine that the people
OF Portugal are not awake. There is
republican organization in every
town. and doctors, lawyers and even
village priests are sending in notices
Of their adherence by the score. and

IL. the army.
King Manuel is a well-intentioned
boy. He starts his regime with fair
words and the restoration of political
liberty, but it is inevitable that he
should fall into the hands of the ma
nipulators of the two old parties
whose bankruptcy was proclaimed by
King Carlos and Premier Franco The
men about the throne know that the
end is near, and when the time comes
that they realize that they cannot
fight they will surrender as did Dom
Pedro in Brazil. / don't think a shot
will be fired. King Carlos knew he

commerce Is almost paralyzed by the

Claim Made by Treasury Department
That Roosevelt Has Exceeded

Washington.-Will S. Rossiter,

place of Public Printer Stillings, went
to the treasury department on Friday
to have his bond approved The de-
partment refused to consider the mat.
ter, on the ground that the president
had exceeded his authority in appoint
ing Mr.. Rossiter; that under the law
the associate public printer, Captain
H. T. Brian, succeeds to the vacancy.
Under this informal ruling Mr.. Ros-
sitter later in the day stepped aside
and his place was taken by Captain
Brian, who will administer the gov
eminent printing Office as acting pub
lie printer for the time being. Mr..
Rossiter however, does not relinquish
the work of inquiry laid out for him
by the president. His position in the
government printing Office becomes
that of the presidents personal rep
resentative, and he is proceeding with
the investigation.

SON OF PRIEST A MURDERER.
King Carlos Came From Good
Family.

Rio Janeiro.-The leader of the band
that murdered King Carlos and Crown
Prince Luiz, at Lisbon, is Manuel Res
Silva Buissa, and he was born in
the province of Braganza, Portugal.
He was son of the Able of Vinhaes,
and as a boy he went to the Lyceum
at Braganza. He had nine brothers
and sisters, and one of his sisters,
named Belmira, lived until short
time ago in this city. Manuel was
not the first criminal in the family.
One of his aunts killed a servant in
her employ when she found that her
husband was making love to the wo-
man. She was arrested and sentenced
to long term of Imprisonment in
Africa.
During the last few years Buissa
was Republican in politics, and he
had friendly relations with members
of his party. He became a free
thinker and 1t was his custom to de.
fend his political ideas in open dis.
cussion in the streets and in the cafes
of Lisbon.
Buissas friend, who supplied the
foregoing information, does not think
that he accepted money for the com
mission of his crime. Manuel Buissa
was vicious and wicked in many
ways, but he was above taking money
