PURE FOOD.

The Sunday school teacher had told us the tale of the wandering host, so weary and weakened by hunger they were ready to give up the ghost; when To! in the morning the mama was spread on the glistening plain, and the famished and soul weary pilgrims were filled, and they feasted again. And Willie, q thin little shaver, who stood at the foot of the class, remarked to the teacher: "l wonder why such things no more come to pass? My dad says that Hours so expensive he thinks we must cut out the bread, and when tell mother I'm hungry, she tells me to trot off to bed" "I fear" said the teacher, in sorrow, that mama won't fall from the skies, till we fire all those pure food inspectors who've grown so exceedingly wise; they'd gather up samples and send 'em to Wiley, the analyst man, and he'd find benjiggers of soda, and clamp down the government ban"

LA TOILETTE SCORES TARIFF
 BILL.
By Gilson Gardner.

looked about the room-hiS study piled with open books. filtered with pamphlets, strewn with corded.up manuscript and typewritten copy.
 That's what you think?" was sug. gested. "Vommes?"
 He nodded. ..
 The Aidrich bill is-"
 Bad"
 Why? In what respect more than another?"
 "I cant at the moment think of any respect in which it isn't bad"
 Which way does 1t revise-up or down?"
 Upward. I have the figures. I shall make it matter of mathemat' ical demonstration before this busi- Tess is over"
 Isn't that what the people want?"
 Do the people want the burden of taxation laid more heavily on their backs?"
 But the people asked revision cf the tariff, and the republican party promised that"
 Revision downward. That is what the people asked. And that is what the platform makers pretended they were pledging. And that is what was-in fact-pledged by every candidate and party man who made a speech on this subject. It is non- sense to pretend that this is not true"
 Then somebody is guilty of bad faith?"
 Every man who supports the Aid rich bill is guilty of bad faith"
 But they say the bill will be i'm. proved in conference"
 "I have seen bills improved in con- ference before. remember how MT. Aldrich sent the emergency cur rency act to conference with five improvements which had been added in the senate. And I remember how It came back stripped of all of them, including that for strengthening bank reserves, and then-in the rush and urgency of winding up the business of the senate-it was approved. That l. the Aldrich way"
 You don't think tariff laws should be made behind closed doors?"
 Nor any other kind of laws. Pub llcity is the one great safeguard to the peoples liberties. propose to fight the effort to suppress debate"
 Are there efforts of that sort?"
 There are. Every day the inter- ests which Aldricn represents in the senate are trying to bring the tariff matter to the cloSed.door conference conference committee stage. They don't like this talk. Mir. Root sneers a: senators who talk-'for home con sumption talk For home consump- tion-and for the consumption of all the homes in the United States. The people ought to understand that they are being robbed-that they are being taxed, though poor, to add to the swollen fortunes Of the idle rich. l would like to talk to them until they understand that they are being fool ed; that they are being lied to by Aidrich; that they are standing like patient pack mules while the Aid lichs. Roots and Gallingers of the senate add more pounds to the bur cen of taxation-more dollars to the poor mans cost of living, more in- euuaHties between the rich and the poor, more difficulties to the mar who is struggling for his opportunity, more hours to the workman's day more sweat to the farmers brow more penury among the very poor
