PURE FOOD CHAMPION AS
SAILED

The Philadelphia North American
comes manfully to the defence of
DR.. Wiley, and raps his enemies,
as follows:
Denver will see an unprecedented
sight next week. One man will
stand alone, assailed by combina-
tion of enemies more powerful than
ever before confronted a single gov
ernment official.
United in an unrelenting desire to
discredit DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, the
chief chemist of the Department of
Agriculture and the Board of Food
and Drug Inspection, and drive him
from the public service, are the Beef
Trust with it's jungle" record,
Standard Oil with it's glucose cheats,
the makers of bogus liquors, the
united food poisoners of the coun-
try, the oleomargarine manufacture
ers, the misbranders of medicines
and adulterators OF drugs and all
the political allies and dependents
Of these varied interests, who see
in Wiley the one great obstacle to
a continuance of their past profits
made by swindling and poisoning
the people.
But the assaults OF these will not
be the strangest feature OF the an
nUal convention of the Association
of State and National Dairy and
Food Departments.
Dr.. Wiley for thirty years has
been worker in branch of the
Department OF Agriculture. The
cabinet officer who is at the head
OF that department will be on hand
on this occasion with numerous as
sistants and the full body Of the
Remsen board chemists not to sup
port, but to discredit his subordin-
ate, who is forced to remain in
Washington, 50 tHor As caAno- sren.
in l's oWa defense.

The Harrisburg Telegraph calls
attention to the fact that being a
conducive to longevity. Between
the adjournment of the state senate
of 1907 and the converting of that
of 1909 four senators died-Vare of
Philadelphia; Heidelbaugh, of Lam
caster; Rowland, of Pike, and Cum
ningham, OF Allegheny. Since the
adjournment of the legislature of
1909 two senators have died-Dur-
ham, OF Philadelphia, and Crawford
of Allegheny

And against all this opposition
Wiley stands alone save for the sup
port of the scientific and best medi-
cal thought of the country. He is
no politician. About the only
product of modern business prob
ably that he would be utterly unable
to analyze is pull"
He has only his knowledge, his
recitude, his courage, his devotion
to duty, his honorable record of
achievements against great odds for
the saving of human life and the
safeguarding of public health, and
the confidence of all disinterested
Americans in one of their ablest and
most honorable public servants to
sustain his cause,
The forces massed against him
with the tacit assent, if not the COM
plete approval, of the national ad-
ministration may not overwhelm
him on this occasion. For most of
these state food and dairy commits
sioners are courageous, honest and
well-informed men.
Later he may be officially dis
credited and overborne. But even
then, as now, we think that there
will be something of the rarely
heroic in the unflinching stand of
Dr.. Harvey Wiley for the people
against his own interests and against
such tremendous odds.'

When law is passed, making
it a misdemeanor, punishable with
fine and imprisonment to publish in
any newspaper an advertisement
o, account of any prize-fght, then
decent people will no more be dis
gusted with accounts OF brutal eX-
hibitions of that kind, and the eX-
hibitions themselves, will cease.
The newspaper is undeniably the
only agent which keeps the brutal
sport in existence. When it ceases
making heroes of brutes, then the
''slugger" is out OF business. This
statement doesn't need any bolster
ing.

All branches of business affected
by the new tariff law are rapidly ad-
justing themselves to the amended
schedules, and the ending of the
period of uncertainty as to the rates
of duty to be imposed has already
had the effect of stimulating trade,
and especially in those lines which
have been slow in reviving from the
late depression. Reports from all
the important cities in all the lead
ing trades are most encouraging
Nothing is apparently lacking to
complete the evidences, which have
been accumulating during the past
few weeks, of a full recovery from
the deadening effects of the crisis of
1907, and the revival now gives
promise of a rapidity without paral-
lei in the records of American bust
ness. At least that's what Dun's
Review of Saturday says.

The fires of romance have not
yet been eXtinguished in the great
mountains and plains of the west; !;
the spirit of freedom, the wide eX-
panse OF territory, the picturesque
ness of the mountains, the quaint
ness of the natives and the general
atmosphere all tend to inspire it.
1t was such an atmosphere that in
spired dramatist Hal Reid to write
AT Cripple Creek" which had such
a remarkable vogue when it was
produced for the first time, and
which will be seen here at the
Lyric on Wednesday, Sept. 1st. Mr..
Reid studied close to nature with
the result that he succeeded in
placing upon the stage real flesh
and blood characters whose proto-
types are to be found in every min
ing camp Of the west to-day. This
story tells a simple tale of love and
intrigue, and the surroundings natu-
rally call for stirring incidents and
rapidity of action. Some of the
most stirring incidents include the
efforts of the Williams to find May
fields mine and trap the helpless
victims; the rescue by Waketah of
Little Tatto who has been hurled
from cliff by a murderous Mexi-
can; the death of Dynamite Ann, a
reformed victim of NIason-and the
denouement when everything ends
just right

1t is said that wife desertions are
increasing in New York city to an
appalling degree. Two years ago
the financial stress was assigned as
a reason but as there is no diminu-
tion in the offense but instead an
increase the matter becomes a prob
lem. In one day in Brooklyn
Charities Office fifty-five complaints
of abandonment were received. One
of the potent reasons assigned is the
cost of living.

The U. S. Agricultural Department,

The U. S. Agricultural Department,
after mature deliberation, has de-
cided that "stones and seeds do not
make wine" The decision of the
Board, unless reversed. will force
brands to label their wines "imita-
ton" More than that, it will only
permit wine which is actually i'm
ported from the Rhine or made
from grapes grown in Germany to be
labelled Rhine wine" An appeal
from the Boards decision will be
made by wine manufacturers.

The United States Steel corpora
tion has begun the process of elimin-
ating from it's mills all those of
pronounced union tendencies who
might with reason be suspected of
scattering seeds of unionism among
other workmen. Many of the cor
porations fine workmen have in the
last two weeks been discharged from
the employ of mills where they had
long worked and on inquiring the
cause of discharge were told that
they had talked too much or too
loud. And in most cases those
thus discharged have found on in
quiring for work at other plants of
the Steel corporation that there was
no work for them, a blacklist hav-
ing apparently been prepared.
Over 200 former well-known union
men have been discharged It's

The rain of the present week was
not so copious as in this locality as
further north and east, but it was
enough to soak the ground, 80 that
roots of trees have been reached.
If not enough to fill springs and
creeks, the moisture has been suf-
ficient to somewhat revive vegeta-
tion, although too late to save
crops.

The sham battles between the
Reds and the Blues at Middle
boro, Mass, under the direction Of

OF bravery" of course, to charge
into a "scathing fire" of unloaded

Nashville. Tenn, June 21.-One week from Wednesday the law prohibiting the sale of intoxlcants within four miles of any school house in Tennessee will take effect. Proprietors of places where intoxicants are sold. are making preparations to meet this condition. It seemsf that the saloonists of the three cities where liquor is legally sold, Nashville Chattanooga and Mem phis are going about their preparations in a different way--a way best suited to each respective community.
 In Nashville the understanding is the locker clubs will be the feature of the day Already a number of arders have been placed with a well known manufacturing concern of Nashville, who has been engaged to make hun dred of lockers of a particular type, fitted for individual tastes. These lock CTS will be maintained in Nashville, for the convenience of the members who belong to the club. Each mem ber, of course, will have q key to his locker and it will be his property. over 4.0O0 of these have been made within the past few weeks and num- ber of local houses have been fitted up with them.

Was in no Sense Candidate Saturday. Editor The Advertiser:
 In Sundays issue of your paper 1t was stated that unexpected opposition to Mir. &rrank Stollenwerck, Jr., can didate m succeed the Hon. R. T.. Goodwin in the Legislature from this county, was matched out on Friday night before the election and that the eleventh hour candidatess circulated the report that Mir. Stollenwerck was q prohibitionist, which accounted for the vote cast against him, and as received a few votes in the election l wish to make this correction through your columns. In the first place, l said nothing as to Mir. Stollenwerck' s position on the prohibition question, for l did not then, nor do l now know how he stands on said question. Fur thermore I voted for MT. Stollenwerck and requested my friends to do the same.
 I write this because it might be con- strued fror your article that the votes certed efforts, which was certainly not the case Several times I was ap- preached by different people, and asked to run against MT. Stollenwerck. but positively declined. to do so, because I had submitted my name before the Committee, and l felt bound by their action.
 I will thank you very much if you will give this explanation space in your paper so that the people may see and understand my position.

 From Hospital.

Selma, June Especial. l--Riley and Marshall Walker, the two white men who were under indictment for murder. and who escaped from hos pital here on Saturday, were captured late Sunday night by Deputy Sheriff Arthur Williams, and who brought them back to Selma this morning and placed them in the county jail.
 The two men were captured by Dep uty Sheriff Williams on the Mathews place, near Cahaba, about elev>1 miles west of Selma. The men offered no resistance and came back to Selma willingly with Mir Williams this morn ing.
 Both Riley and Marshall Walker told tine officer that they just wanted their liberty for a few days, and that they would then have returned.
 They stated that they wanted to go back to their old home and try and nduee some one to make bond for them that they were not afraid to stand trial for the crime which they were indicted for, ands believe that when they Aare tried that the jury will clear them.
 After escaping from the hospital Saturday, the two men started towards the western part of the Sity and all day Sunday walked in the direction of Cahaba. When they saw anyone on the road they hid until they were passed.
 Deputy Sheriff Williams heard of their movements and followed them up and captured them and brought the brothers back to Selma and placed them in the county jail.
