STRENUOUS AT THE FINISH.

ID LAIN Citizen Roosevelt departed from the
Capital in a manner that must have been
thoroughly pleasing TO him, and the same may
be said Of his reception at Oyster Bay. What
fun would there have been for him had the day
been fair? 1t was a strenuous departure. lie
comes TO New York like a conqueror, says one
of the papers of that city. The New -orkers
in Washington marched as an, escort OF honor
through slush in a snow storm. 1t was battle
between Roosevelt and the elements OF nature
and. of course, the President won. AS the New
Workers marched in the storm the band played,
"rherell BE a Hot Time in the Old Town To-
night The guard wore silk hats and carried
banners Colonel Roosevelt, the reports say
"beamed with happiness" lie threw his arms
affectionatey about the shoulders OF some OF
his friends and po<ed a correspondent, probably
the correspondent of the New York World, in
the ribs Roosevelt was light-hearted and TAFT
was serious.
His departure from Washington must have
been really delightful to the President, for he
said. 1--WE came down whoopng They trooped
RIGHT through the slush with their banners and
flags. 1t was bully send-of."
Probably the only disappointment to the Pres

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP.

M EWSPAPERS that oppose the public
ownership Of any utilities make much OF
any failure of such ownership 10 manage we'll
municipal properties for the benefit of the peo-
pie. They seldom print anything on the other
side Of the question
AS a matter Of fact whether a municipality can
manage public utility as well as a private con-
Germ can do depends upon the political condi-
tions of the municipality. r. for example, city
is governed by a selfish ring Of political free
booters as control Philadelphia, it is fair to as
sumo that municipal ownership OF anything
would be failure. On the other hand If the peo-
pie are interested in municipal affairs, if the
see that only competent men are chosen for po-
stions, and if they rebuke incompetent govern
ment, no matter by which party it is admins
tered, municipal ownership will be successful
In other words if a municipal government were
regarded as a business enterprise, there would
be no difficulty in managing public utilities
An instance OF the good that comes from n1u-
nicipal ownership is furnished by Manitoba
About year ago the province took possession
OF the telephone companies, paying what was
regarded as a large price to the private owners.
Shortly after government control began reduc-
tions from the prices charged by the Bell Com
pany were made A number Of new lines have
been constructed by the government and further
reductions are promised. In Winnepeg. with

Beating the Government to Pure Food
From the Washington ID. O. Times

beaIInQ the OONernmCnl TO FuTo FOOQs
From the Washington ID. O. Times.
Experts always disagree on scientific
questions, and so they naturally differ
about the danger Of benzoate Of soda in
prepared foods Some OF them say It is a
harmless substance in small quantities,
while many other leading authorities of
both Europe and America pronounce it
dangerous drug. Thus a doubt exists about
the safety OF its use.
Benzoate Of soda is not used to improve
any good articles Of food. There is no diff
ference OF opinion on that point.
Why. then. do any manufacturers con-
tend for the privilege of using benzoate Of
soda? Simply because it permits cheap
ening Of the cost of product through re-
duction OF food value employment of
loose methods and too often of unfit raw
material
These paragraphs are not from brief
by Dr. Wiley. They are not an attack on
the eNtra-judicial board Of appeals which
has lately reversed the chief of the Bu-
reau Of Chemistry. They are a portion Of
an advertisement for which manufactur-
er has paid for space in Tho Washington
Times.
A clear side-light is thrown on this bus
mess I'm this announcement that the ad-
vertising company "will not use henzoate
Of soda or any other chemical preserva-
tive" u is that all the boards of appeal
that politicians can bring into existence
will not stop tho progress Of the pure food
movement
The problem has reached the people The
consumer is now wise" He has found
out about whisky and -four and pickles
and good many other food products. He
wants them clean. pure, and wholesome.
And the manufacturer who expects ITO
hold the consumers confidence will fight
shy of substances like henzoate OF soda,
and doubtful blends and dubious bleach
ings. as he would avoid short measure.
What a wonderful showing It is as to
the power OF open dealing.
Here is the head of a governmental
bureau. From the very first he has Tough,
for the consumer. II he has erred it has
been always on the side Of the people. not
the manufacturer. The housewife knew
that whatever else might be true her
household was secure as long as she
bought according to this mans decisions
Time and again he has been nearly
beaten. Voluminous briefs, costly cam
paigns. almost irresistible political in
fiuence, have now and then clouded his
position. But Of sudden he is directly
ruled against on a matter clearly IL
doubt Then the food commissioners o
practically all the States come TO his sup
port. join his chief. the President in con
tending for the spirit and not the empt,
form OF the pure food and drug act, an,
he stands to-day stronger than ever h
has been before.
OF course. this is not enough. Their
must be somewhere and at the earlies
day possible a legal method OF ixinl
standards. But Il is an indication Of al
irresistible determination on the part O
the people to get pure food that rever
sal as TO benzoate Of soda has not iniure'
this public service. Il has rather encour

Some canny folk over in Philadel-

Scotch potatoes into the city. 1t ap-

toes were going to be high and that
money could be made. Consequently
some commission merchants bought the
tubers abroad. Recent prices tempted
them and the potatoes have been COM

people would not know that the pota-
toes were Scotch, as they taste little
