CONSUMER TO BLAME.

NEW YORK, Feb. 11.-Dr. Har-
vey w. Wiley, head of the chemistry
bureau Of the department Of agricul-
TUE, is of the opinion that the person
most responsible for impure milk is
the consumer, rather than the dairy
man or dealer. In an address deliver
ed at Columbia university he describ-
ed conditions which must be combat
ted on the farm, told of the Difficult
ties which confront the dealer, then
said;
"Now we come to the real offender
the buyer. He wants his milk at 8
cents a quart and if you sell milk at
8 cents quart you have to sell all
kinds, clean, and dirty in order to
have any means for carrying on the
business. The way to reform in the
milk problem is to reform the CON
suming public and let the consumer
know that he need not expect sani-
tary milk at 8 cents a quart or even
at ten cents.

The nobIest Office in all the world,
was in closest touch with the homes.
and lives and aspirations Of the
American people; whose wonderful
insight and generous sympathy per-
meated the last crevice Of human hope
and action among his fellows; whose
instictiye purity and singleness of
purpose made his own exaltation the
reader bond to the lesser and hum
bier careers of those who raised him
up; whose unfailing tenderness and
almost more than mortal patience,
lent his tasks, as man and President,
the sanctity of sheer right and beau
"; whose strength was the stay Of
the righteous and the menace Of the
unfaithful; and whose high faith and
splendid loyalty is to this hour, the
cardinal index and supreme test OF
American character.
Even in the land against which, at
the demand of his greatest duty, he
wrought with such tremendous and
blighting force, the hour Of reaction
is at hand, and the one-time vengeful
curse in silenced in the gentler
gratuity Of frank, if not cordial.

tomb have worked out the measure

that people and they know, as we
know, that the war he waged hurt
his soul as it hurt theirs and that all
all he did was done at the behest of
duty too imperative. too vast, for
abatement or waiver.
Eighty millions Of people this day
take up the paeon of reverence and
undying love for this man, and its
voiumne and depth are greater now

If it shall come to pass that AS

depots Of the Farmers Educational
& Cooperative Union, of the Inland
Empire, we shall, at last, have an
opportunity of proving to the world
that this is a quick-despatch port.

Such a demonstration here must
be wrought through some such

transportation companies nor by the
commercial handlers and shippers of
the cereal; they do not seem to know
anything about US nor Of the facili-
ties we possess in this behalf; and it
will take some extraneous and indie
pendent movement such as this to let
us inside the shipping field.
All we want is the chance to make
an exact demonstration, under favor
