SHOULD upHoLp DIR. WILEY.

n ROM all parts of the country DIR. Harvey
- w. Wiley, of the Agricultural Depart
ment at Washington, is receiving assurances of
support in his campaign for pure food. His
recent defeat at the Denver convention where
his objections to the use of bensoate OF soda
We're voted down, and it was declared TO be
harmless, is regarded as deplorable by news
papers that have spoken with reference to the
matter. 1t may be that DIR. Wiley exaggerated
the danger of sodium benzoate, but it is far bet
ter to err on the side Of exaggeration in this
matter than to let down the bars so that harm
full preservatives may be used. To be sure the
Remsen Board of eminent chemists de-
clared in a half way manner, that DR. Wiley
followed, really puts the government in the po-
sition Of licensing medicatede stuff, and this DR..
Wiley has been trying TO prevent
j. Sill be recalled however, that the Remsen
Board, whose decision that benzoate is not
harmful was sustained at Denver by the Pure
Food Convention which reversed itself by a
vote OF 81 to AZ, has made no recommendation
as to the enforcement of the pure food laws 1t

partment to decide whether the preseryative

sory label on preserved food products
no doubt great pressure will be brought 10
pear upon the government by the advocates OF
the preseryatfVe TO permit them to use II with
out telling OF that use on the label A great
deal OF the work for pure foods will have gone
for nothing if the department should Weld 70
the wishes of the benzoate men, Those con-
Germs which do not employ the stuff would be
placed at disadvantage and their competitors
with an inferior article would underseil them
Unless it Is for the purpose of palming off an
infericr article why should the food produc-
ers want to use benzoate!
1t has been declared time and again that ben
zoate is unnecessary in the preservation Of
clean, fresh food properly prepared in sanitary
factories The Remsen Board and the Denver
Convention have apparently sanctioned the use
OF inferior food improperly prepared and that is
the hard thing about it. In these DAYS when
vegetables that are to be preserved are so album
dant and in the fruit districts SO cheap it
would seem like crime for the government not

The government should not lend countenance
to the group of food makers who have been
waging bitter war against DR.. Wiley, and
have been trying to rout him out OF the depart

Wiley with some one who would bend an ear

ELECTION LAWS.


* EPUBLICAN GLASSES" in the Star
on Sunday discussed in an entertaining
and instructive manner the subject of the con-
structon of laws as they affect political elections
AS Glasses says the laws are what the lawyers
make them, for it is the lawyers in the end that
advise the legislators as TO the form OF laws.
Hence It often follows when partisan lawyers
seek to obtain political advantage that we have
laws capable of being twisted and turned go
uat no end OF complication ensues. The law
can be construed either rigidly or loosely, as
suits the purpose of the attorney representing
this or that side of a controversy. GLASSES"
recalls the history OF various interpretations OF
election laws by the Democrats when in control
OF the state, and also takes up the subject Of
rejected ballots at the recent city election.
At elections during the past few years many
ballots have been rejected, and yet, to-an ordi-
nary man, the intent of the voters who cast these
ballots was plain. Either party is liable to
suffer because OF rejected ballots. II hits one,
and then the other The Republican leaders of
the city believe that they lost the recent city
election because of rejected ballots If is
usually a question of how the election officers
will interpret the law The Interpretation may
not be uniform. There may be a strict con-
struction by one set Of officers and loose con-
struction by another A strict construction
does not appeal to the average voter as wise or
fair
This brings up the question of the ballot law
Of the state. Ask almost any man who is famil-
lar with the matter and he will tell you that
he doesn't like the present law. Most of the
political leaders will say the same thing Yet
during the last session of the Legislature, there
was no real effort made to change the law, to
simplify it and to do away with the technical
tiles under which it is possible to reject
large percentage OF ballots. The percentage OK
rejected ballots is much higher than it should
be. Ballots are cast aside for trivial reasons,
and we seem to be under the sway of technical
titles and pin points.
But OH the other hand, there is a national
movement against the rule OF techncalities and
many lawyers are supporting it. A recent
decision of the Supreme Court of Oklahoma
was to the effect that judgments could not be
set aside because of fmsy technicalities and
errors, and that decision was applauded by
many persons in New York State, state noted
for the laws delays and for little things which
are too often urged to hamper justice
In political contests, long as one side re-
sorts to technicalites, the other side will do
likewise So far as our elections are concerned,
there ought 10 be doing away with these small
points which sometimes convert the will OF a
majority into a minority.

The Grand Opera House has been converted
into a beautiful theatre, and those who were
present at the opening last evening must have
enjoyed a genuine surprise. No one would
hardly have imagined that such Improvements
could be made, but when it is considered that
almost $4,000 has been expended on the play
house, the full extent of what has been done
will be realized. There is great deal of push
and energy behind the present management of
the Opera House, which is both liberal and
wise. We have no doubt that this disposition
to cater TO the people and to give Wilmington
a theatre the interior of which will compare
most favorably with the best of places in 9th
er cities will be fully appreciated and rewarded
by liberal patronage Certainly the manage
ment deserve all the good things that may come
in their direction.
