THE Congress OF Physicians In session
at Atlantic City this week overruled the
Roosevelt referee board Of scientists snd
sustained Dr. Wiley 10 his contention
against the use of beuz0ate of soda SIS
food preservative. The government is
urged by resolution TO prohibit absolute
ly and uuqslifedly the use Of benzoate
of soda and similar preservatives in the
preparation and preservation OF foods
destined for interstate commerce, and
also to provide for more careful and sys-
tematic inspection of iOOd-producing es-
Establishments 50 ss to guard against the
employment therein of persons smlcted
with contagious or infectious disease and
against the use of chemically treated,
unclean aud offensive waste products
sent through the channels of commerce.
This action OF the medical congress,
representing thousands of practitioners
in all parts of the country, should have
great weight when an effort shall be
made to amend the federal pure food and
drug act.

feited the confidence of other republican
senators and had slated half truths and
discredited his leadership by trickery
and evasion. In the earlier and better
days of the republic such q charge made
upon the floor of the Senate would have
been followed by hostile meeting. but
Mr.. Aldricl, by his scis and words, has
thrown himself wide open 20 such

SATURDAY EVENING. JUNE 70, 1909.

REPUTATION Of the republican
platform and the campaign pledges OF
President Taft by Senator Aldrich aud
his followers was made so absolute yes
tardav that every democratic senator
voted with them to emphasize disap-
proyal Of the principle upon which
President Taft was elected. Senator
Oummins, at the close OF the fight on
the WOODEN schedule, offered motion to
recommit the whole schedule to the
finance committee, with instructions TO
reframe it in accordance with the plat
form declaration. His language was
exactly that used in the republican plat
form and used frequently by President
Taft in his campaign speeches. The
nrotection to be accorded in the Gum
minis proposition was to cover the diff
fereuces between the cost Of production
here and abroad, and allow reasonable
profit to the manufacturers. Only eight
republicans supported the motion. The
vote was 50 to s. Every democrat In
the Senate, quick to preceive that Mr..
Cummins was seeking q reafirmatiOn Of
the true republican tariff policy, voted
against it, and 80 did Senator Aldrlcb
and his majority of republican senators.

Lessons For the Elector.

In a wonderfully frank editorial en-
II tied Lessons for the Elector, the
Wall Street Journal says:
IF the voter has not learned some
valuable lessons from the tariff dis
cussion, he is great deal denser
than the Wall Street Journal believes.
Never has such a flood of daylight
been thrown upon high protection S
meanest and ugliest feature?. The
pretense of high tariff for the en-
couragement of infant industries has
been abandoned. That kind of en-
FAINT in fact never grows oldenough
to be weaned and, indeed, demands
more infant nourishment the older
it gets. Another hard-worked theory,
also, which has received some rude
shocks is that an advance in tariff
schedules means an advance in wages.
1t is increasingly probable that the
two things are not related. Wages
went down last year irrespective of
the tariff in the enormously protected
steel industry, and have since been
restored, although iron ore and pig
iron are among the few articles on
which the duty has been revised
downwards. The New England cot
ton spinners are making great divi-
dends, but the wages of mill opera
tives have not advanced. So much is
this the case that unintelligent and
unskilled imported laborers from
Europe or even children of school
age are substituted for educated
American operatives. These are plain
facts, and the voter will be fool if
he can not appreciate what they
mean. Nobody in his senses can be-
lieve that the present compromise
will represent the tariff system of
this country for more than a brief
period. Now is the time for the voter
to take up the education of his con-
gressmen and senators. He can not
begin too soon."

Prayers Tell of Tragedy.

Ashtabula, o., Aug.-A mothers
attentions to the prayer of her child
resulted in the dragging of the body
of 8-year-old Sammy Walker from
the Ashtabula River. The child fell
from raft while playing with sever
al neighborhood boys. The children,
frightened by the tragedy, kept silent.
One of the boys, however, had been
reared in the practice of saying his
prayers nightly at his mothers knees.
He did so last Thursday night, his
application being:
Dear God, be good to Sammy.
Forgive him, God, because he fell in
the river. He was only a little boy
and couldn't help it. And please for
give me, too, for being with him
when he drowned"
The mother went with the news to
the neighbours home. Searchers
dragged the Ashtabula River all night,
finding the body.

Valuable Friendship.

One good friend is worth dozen
acquaintance. 1t is the kind of in
dividuals we attract rather than great
numbers. Strive to be splendid and
charming. It is worthier ambition
than the endeavor to be popular. II
is not necessary to seek friends; if
you are interesting and bright and
cheerful you will be sought after. A
host of acquaintance, like riches and
silver, often cause more worry than
joy. If you have one or two faithful
comrades who will love you for your
virtues and smile kindly at your
faults, you are truly blessed. Webb

Lamar Democrat
Hon. H. w. Timmonds received
word from the hospital Wednesday
that a microscopic examination Of the
blood proved that Judge Timmonds
was not taking the typhoid fever.
His trouble has been indigestion.
The surgeons have taken the plaster
cast from his leg, that was placed on
the day he was upon the operating
table, about a month ago and made
all the tests possible under the cir
cumstances, to see if his. bone is knit
ting. The leading surgeon says he is
confident that the bones are now unit
ing in good shape. Another cast was
made reaching only to the knee.
The Judge will be allowed to sit up
in short time, little while each
day, until his strength begins to re-
turn, and then, it is hoped that he
will be able to get about without the
aid Of crutches.
