that II is up to Grand Junction to act

up many important phases of the

manner presented a striking array
OF facts and arguments. The great

Pure Food Uniformity.

While some people are insisting
that the South Dakota pure food law
is better suited than the federal law
to the needs of many states, Secretary
Wilson is right in his preference for
the federal law as the model by which
the formulation OF state laws should
be in general shaped. II Is wise and
equitable that manufacturers should
be under regulations as nearly as pos
sible uniform In all the states, for they
cannot fairly be exposed to the incon-
~venience of putting up packages to At
conflicting regulations, TO the number
OF forty-six or to any large number.
The question of benzoate of soda and
the label Of wine and whisky are less
i%mperatively important than uniform
ity in the requirements of manufac-
turing the great variety OF articles
which come under the provisions of
the law. The federal Law may not be
exactly the best. yet the fact that
twenty-five states have adopted it
gives a strong presumption in favor Of
it's ad~aptability and a strong reason
for extending it's operation.
II there are defects in the federal
law the coursA favored by Secretary
Wilson. that OF Derfecting the federal
law, offers progress toward uniformity
and a certainty n permanency of
operation which obviously would work
toward facility and fairness in the
manufacture Of commodities. 1t would
not jeopardize the rights of consum-
ers unless the law we're clearly de-
ficient. With a conclusive showing OF
deficiency It would be simple and com
paratively easy to make a change The
national convention of pure food ON
missioners, in session at Denver, will
find this model law question the chief
one of the convention.

A Weak SPOT in Exports.

Consuls reiterate every year the ad-
vice that it Is not worth the expense
of sending goods, especially articles Of
apparel, to foreign countries unless the
styles and patterns conform to the
habits and preferences of the people.
The consul at Bordeaux reports that
in large French cities the style of
shoe is long and barrow, changing
slowly toward the American style of
more nearly fitting the foot.
In Paris a few stores sell American
shoes exclusively and dispose of a
fair moun to American residents and
travellers, but little is done to get
French trade. Consuls in Germany
and other countries mention some In
crease in demand for American shoes,
but chiefly on account of the quality
and price. Generally the buyers are
forced to acquire a taste for American
shapes, something that is never easy
or rapid. Shoe manufacture shows
constantly how easy It is to change a
shape or style. To make a Russian,
German or French shape involves few
difficulties.
1t is the old bluDder Of American
manufacturers for export. They will
not take the trouble to conform to the
fixed habits of customers. They act
on the belief that IL an article seems
better to an American It ought to
seem better everywhere, They have
wasted a great deal of money on this
error, but are still slow about chang
ing. In Japan. where the use Of
leather shoes will soon make a great
market. the native foot is short and
broad, but up to this time American
manufacturers offer shoes made on
American lasts and useless for the
average Japanese.
Americas weakest point is the sale
Of factory-made goods. We do not
seem to understand the game. Is It
that we take no interest in it?

The sport OF automobile racing has again
come into bloody prominence at Indian
apolis.
Speed tests OF this manlacal character
prove nothing. Cars built for such races
are Of no practical value. The automobile
is a useful and practically Indispensable
machine. It's efficiency Is constantly be
Ing made greater by men who devote
themselves wholly to this study. When
time and effort are wasted on the manu-
facture of racing machines the automobile
owning public derives no benefit Endur-
ance tests, and hill climbing contests are
proper, and beneficial in offering COM
PARSONS as to perfection OF manufacture
and skil. in manipulation. The cars used
are those which are bought and enjoyed
by the general public. The track races,
on the other hand, are deplorable be-
cause OF their needlessness and senseless-
ness and because they are distinctly dan
gerous.

sent do not belong to them. They are

the buoyancy OF the public mind, just

The State Ticket.

Compilation OF the returns OF the
recent primary held throughout Ne
braska. although still incomplete, has
gone far enough to show republicans
who their nominees are. The repub-
lican state ticket this fan will read as
follows:
For judges Of the supreme court
John n. Barnes ............ .Nortolk
Jacob l. Fawcett. ............. Omaha
Samuel II. Sedgwick ................Nork
For university regents dong term)-
Charles s. Allen ............... Lincoln
william @. Whitmore. valley
For university regent short termI-
Frank l.. Haller. ............ Omaha
We believe that there will be no dis
sent that this is al strong a ticket as
could have beer made up from among
the candidates presented. The only
contest in the primary lay in the choice
of three candidates for supreme judge
out OF eight who had entered. The
three who have been nominated have
all had experience as members Of the
supreme bench and possess tried and
tested judicial qualifications, so their
election will involve no experiment.
Two Of them have been nominated by
such substantial majoritles In the pri-
mary that there is no question as to
the consensus of popular opinion back
ing them. While the third has appar-
emily won the nomination by a close
margin, there is no good reason why
he should not run even with his asso-
ciates at the regular election.
With a ticket made up as this one is
republicans need not go outside Of
their own party to put the best men
on the bench and to maintain an eff
cient management Of the State univer-
sity, nor should voters of Independent
proclivities find anything to attract
them into the demo-pop camp.
