LADD'S LAW is PROPOSED
DENVER CONVENTION OPENS
WITH ATTACK ON SECRETARY

FEDERAL LAWS ABANDONED.

Denver, Col, Aug. 24.--Food ex-
perts from every section of the coun-
try, including Secretary of Agriculture
James Wilson, Chief Chemist III. w.
Wiley and representatives of the
United States Dairy Commission and
Bureau of Animal Industry. were pres
ent at the opening today of the thir-
teenth annual convention of the Asso-
citation OF State and National Food
and Dairy Departments.
Before the convention adiourns next
Friday, it is expected. q definite plan
for a more drastic enforcement OF pure
food regulations throughout the coun-
try will have been drafted. In his an
nual address President j. o. Emery
scored the use of benzoate of soda as
a food preservative and vigorously OPP
posed the finding of the referee board
appointed during President Roosevelts
administration that the preservative
was not harmful. He pointed to Sec
retary Wilson as having recommended
to the president that the finding OF
the board be not re-inyestigated al
though a committee of the association
applied for a reconsideration of the
subject.
Harmful in Any Form.
That benzoate is harmful I'm what
ever form It is used, whether in soda
water or in pickles. was the emphatic
conclusion Of the speaker Recon-
mending the breaking away from tho
federal pure food laws as not meeting
the necessities of the individual states.
Emery urged a wide breach between
the state commissioners and Secretary
Wilson. He favored the submission to
each state legislature the model pure
food law as proposed by DIR. e. f.
Ladd, state food commissioner of
North Dakota.
No sooner had these views been ex-
pressed than a dozen other sneak
asserted that the breaking away from
the federal laws would result I'm a
chaotic condition Of pure food legis-
lation.

The Centenary Habit.

A writer In an English weekly, on
the recent tercentenary Of Milton, says
that he took the occasion to delve into
the files of the Gentleman's Magazine
for 1908 to see how the same poets
two hundredth birthday was cele-
brated. He found that not even the
name OF Milton occurred in the index
for that year.. The day had evidently
passed unnoticed. The centenary idea
seems to be a new one, and it is annu-
ally extending more widely. Some one
has said that these centenary celebra-
tons are the best when they are the
half-remembered men, as well as the
most famous, are recalled for a sea-
son, their work is discussed, and their
life history is %recounted. They are
newly alive again, so to speak. and we
realize them one more as being with
us. Milton said a young man whose
attention had been turned to Paradise
Lost through a newspaper centenary
article, why, Milton wasn't a prlg at
all, and l can understand his stuff! I'm
going to read a canto every Sunday.
He's a corker!" The year 1909 is a
year of distinguished c~entenaries. Poe
in January; Mendelssohn-Bartholdy
Darwin and Lincoln in February-the
last two on the same day; Chopin and
Edward FtzGerald in March; Tenny-
son in August; and Gladstone in De-
cember-this is a partial birthday list.
Literature, music, science and state
craft are all represented. The festi-
val, remarks the Youths Companion, is
for everybody who will join. If only
the ones in whose honor the celebra-
tons are held could be there, the party
would be complete.

American line on the way to his much
heralded hunting trip in British East
Africa.
On the dock was a large assemblage
of Mr.. Roosevelt's friends, who had
gathered to bid him G%od-speed, and
who cheered him as he stood at the
rail of the steamer waving his hand
and smiling with delight. Beside him
stood the three men selected from
hundreds Of applicants to accompany
him and assist him in collecting the
specimens of African fauna which he
hopes to send back for the enrichment
of the Smithsonian institution. These
fortunate individuals were Maj. Ed

Jefferson City. The movement
for the adjustment of the
leasing of convicts, now national,
found expression Monday in the Mis-
souri, legislature bv the Introduction
of many petitions asking the general
assembly to eliminate the system in
this state and to substitute state on
troll of the prisoners.
Many manufacturers have written
letters to the legislature expressing
their opposition to the leasing sys-
TEN. The labor organizations are
also urging the legislature to do
something this session. The dominant
political parties had planks in their
platforms, declaring for the abolition
of the leasing system.
Nearly $4,000 names have been
signed to the petition, asking the gen.
eral assembly to change the system
and petitions are daily being received
by Secretary Charles w. Fear of the
legislative board of the unions.
Seventeen hundred prisoners In
the Missouri penitentiary are under
lease to manufacturers and other
manufacturers are planning to secure
prisoners for the purpose of installing
other manufacturing plants. One a
ufacturer wants to install a manufac-
turing plant at Fulton and use the
insane patients in the state institu-
ton at hat point, while another
wants to contract for the labor Of the
boys in the reform school at Boon
vile.
Many st. Louis, st. Joseph and
Kansas City manufacturers have
written letters to their senators and
representatives and urge that action
be taken against the growth of the
system.

That Cuba Is making substantial ma.
terial advance is evident from some
figures given out from a work which
the bureau of insular affairs of the war
department is preparing. 1t appears
that the island in 1907 had a popula.
ton of 2,04S,9S0, an increase Of 3O.3
per cent. since the last census, taken
under American supervision, in 1899.
But the most notable gain is in Cuba's
foreign trade. The value of the i'm
ports into the island at the latest date
mentioned was $75,303, 600, or 1913 per
cent. more than in 1899, while the ex-
ports were STA 1872, 900, or 131 per
cent. increase. Furthermore, the eX-
hibit shows how good a friend is the
United States in trade matters. From
two-thirds to more than se%ven-eighths
of the exports from Cuba each year
come to this country, which takes prac.
tically all the sugar, fruits and min
erals and more than nine-tenths of the
tobacco sold abroad by the Cubans.
This, with the reduced duty that ia
vors our neighbor, shows the readiness
with which the United States extends
the helping hand to the island repub-
lie.

Must Pay for Reaulsltlons.

Jefferson City.-Hereafter, II you
desire to have a fugitive returned to
Missouri for prosecution, you will
have to pay for his transportation. 1t
has been the custom of Missouri gov
ernors to issue acquisitions %phenever
asked by reputable officers of the
state, Missouri paying the costs Of
sending officers to other states for the
men wanted. On the recommendation
of Pardon Attorney Frank Blake the
governor has changed all this.
Hereafter the state will pay ex-
penses Of this sort only in the more
important cases. Where the offense
charged is of a minor class the peo-
pie who want the prisoner will have
to defray the expense of sending to
another state for him.
This fact was brought to the atten-
ton of Detective William Hethering-
ton of st. Joseph, Thursday. Heither-
ington got q requisition for q man in
Arkansas who is wanted in st. Joseph
for forgery. He a put in posses
sion of the necessary Missouri papers
but was not granted a warrant on
the treasurer for the expense money
1t will require to transport Hether-
ington to Arkansas and the transport
alton expenses of the officer and his
prisoner back to st. Joseph.
This change will result, 1t Is *
pected, in a material saving to Mis-
souri, every year.

Learning by doing is a good way to
learn. The laboratory system in uni
versities vas instituted for the purpose
of affording facilities for learning by
doing. This is the system pursued in
manual training instruction from the
kindergarten upward. 1t is the system
pursued in the engineering department,
the agricultural department, and other
departments of the state university.
Now it has been extended to the uni
versity school of journalism, says the
Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin. Mem
bers of the classes in journalism are
hereafter to constitute the staff of the
Cardinal, the university's daily paper.
This is a good idea. The faculty, it is
stated, will not attempt to dictate the
policy of the Cardinal, which will con.
tinue to be al organ for the expression
OF student opinion.

Journey Across Uganda.
Leaving Nairobi In October, the
party will proceed by the Uganda
railway to Port Florence, on the
shores of Lake Victoria Nyanza, where
a short stop will be made; then a

miles away. There a caravan will be
formed and the journey across
Uganda to the Nile will be begun. 1t
is expected that the White Nile will
be reached about the first Of the year
1910. Lake Albert Nyanza will be
touched at Kibira.
In a general way the course of the
Nile will be followed to Gondokoro,
and thence to Khartoum. At this city

Pays His Own Expenses.
Mr.. Roosevelt will defray the ex.
penses of himself and his son on the
African trip, but those of the scien-
lists and the cost of preparing the
specimens and shipping them to Amer
lea will be paid out of a fund secured
for the purpose by the Smithsonian
institution.
One of the objects of Mr.. Roosevelt
in taking this trip Is fer the purpose
of collecting material for writing sew
eral books regarding his experiences.
During last summer he contracted with
Charles Scribner's Sons. of New York,
giving that firm all the rights for the
serial and book-form publication of
whatever he might write on his visit
to Africa. 1t is said that the contract
price agreed upon is 81 per word,
but this never has been verified.

Like other true sportsmen, he believes
that the utmost protection should be
given to wild animals on reservations
and that permission to kill them
should not be given or accepted under
any circumstances unless, possibly,
when predatory animals are becomins

Moreover, the killing OF animals for
sport is not the main object of his trip
