BENEFITS FROM PURE
FOOD ARE TOLD OF

BALTIMORE. Jan. 2.-The follow
ing speech by Dr. H. d. Wiley, chief
of the bureau of chemistry, depart
ment of agriculture, on The Good
/ Already Accomplished by the Food
and Drugs Act" was delivered before
the scientists in convention in this
city today, receiving very notable at
tention:
First must be mentioned, said Nh
Wiley. the effect which the food and
drugs act has had upon the ethics Of
trade. Ii is the universal consensus
of opinion of all high grade manufae-
turers and merchants in food and
drug products that the morality Of
the trade has been distinctly improy-
ed When low grade or debased ar
ticles have TO be named and speei-
fled and authorizations excluded there
is no longer the necessity which eX-
listed before of really high grade
manufacturers STOPPING To the de-
basement of their food products TO
meet competition. In other words,
the success of business now does not
DEPEND upon Injecting low SIdut tOlii-
petition, but high grade competition.
aud thus the merit and excellence of
the product, other things being
equal. will set the pace for success
of the business
The second good which has been
accomplished by the food and drugs
act Is the judicial determination in
many cases of the principles involved
in the law itself. Judge Smith Me
Pherson. of the United States dis
trict court, western district of Mis-
souri,. Kansas City. in a decision
which he rendered on the food and
drugs act, stated: This statute is
to protect consumers, and not pro-
ducers. IL is most beneficent and
righteous statute. and within the
powers of congress 10 legislate con-
corning. and should be enforced.
Here We have the judicial statement
showing the substantiability of the
act and its beneficent purpose and the
purpose for which il should he en-
forced. The consumer in all cases
is the party to be protected but in
protecting the consumer the rights

LAYING DOWN THE TARIFF

In beginning, as it has just done,
the actual work of framing the tariff
revision bill the ways and means
committee has made an early start.
Ii has been having hearings for the
past six weeks. Several hundred per

activities and all sections of the coun-

As the new congress will be called
in session about the middle of March
by President Taft, the revision bill
will probably be ready TO report to
the house a day or Two later. All the
present Republican members of the
ways and means committee have
