MAINTAIN INTEGRITY OF LAW
lncalcuIable Harm Will Be Done IL
Confidence in Pure Food Meas
ure Is Disturbed

A singular, and, il It were to be cred
tied. decidedly disturbing assertion is
made by Washington correspondent
with reference to the impending tariff
war with France. 1t is that If the
French government should apply its
maximum tariff rates to our goods this
government might among other meas
ures 'retaliate by subjecting French
wines and spirits to a rigorous test
under the pure food law
The statement is unauthorized and
ii is hoped will remain so. There
could be nothing more likely to de-
stroy confidence in the integrity of the
enforcement of the pure food law than
the currency of such report as this.
Indeed, if the statement were made
upon recognized authority it would
make confidence impossible in the ad-
ministration of that law
Plainly under the law il French
wines are adulterated they must be
condemned; while if they are pure
they must be approved. To suppose
that inspection can be used to affect
lhc IolIl wal Implies one Vi TWO
things. Either it means that if the
French government will abstain from
it's obnoxious measures the United
States inspectors will be instructed to
admit adulterated goods as genuine;
or, If the French government persists,
our government will have pure goods
condemned as impure. Either course
would be destructive of the integrity
of the law, and we believe that either
imputation is grossly unjust
The pure food law was enacted to
protect the people of the United States
from adulterations. If it is not en-
forced strictly on it's merits it is a
fraud and imposition. 1t cannot be
honestly mixed up with an interna-
tional dispute over tariff rates. We
reject the idea that any attempt will
be made so.

Open Weather Helps Outside Con-

New York City.-Bradstreet says:
Continued mild weather is help
full to building and other outdoor CON
struction work and facilitates fall
plowing and winter wheat growth, but
at the same time is a source of con.
siderable complaint as to it's effect on
retail trade in heavy dry goods. cloth,

In other wholesale lines, however,
reports are still to a high degree fa-
vorable, holiday demand is especially
active and spring business is being
booked in good volume, except where,
as i'll cotton goods, high prices and
uncertainty as to future prices of raw
material check selling operations. The
general tone of affairs commercial is
buoyant. In industry generally the re-
port is still one of well filed order
books and of full time run. Iron and
steel production is active.

NO "PORK BARREL" !"
PRESIDENT TAFT'S POSITION ON
WATERWAYS PROJECT.
Assurance That Wise Supervision of
Large Sum Needed viii Be Exer-
cised Will Be a Source of
Satisfaction.

President Taft's speech at st. Louis
gives assurance that his adminstra-
tion does not intend to tolerate either
reckless enthusiasm or sectional fav.
or1tism in the governments policy of
waterways Improvement
Each project, he declares, must be
taken up strictly on its merits; wheth-
er the territory to be affected will
Justify the expenditure, whether the
Improvement will be useful when
done, whether it will be beneficial to
the entire country.
Under no considerations would he
have the funds dedicated to any water
ways enterprise merely because it
would boom certain sections and boost
certain congressman back into office.
In the political verpacular, there is
going to be no pork barrel in the
administration program for improv.
ing our waterways.
The presidents declaration will tend
to reassure those who have been stag
gered by the project of placing a bond
issue of from $500, 900, 900 or 81 900.
100000 at the tender mercies of con.
gress for the purpose of improving our
waterways.
Only strong hand and an informed
head to oversee the appropriations of
these vast sums can hope to insure
their wise and legitimate employment
In the monumental task to which they
would be dedicated.
Neither the independent and entbu.
siastic expert, seeing all things in the
light of an ideal nor the conservative
time-serving politician, with vision re-
stricted by the present, is here re-
liable guide. There is a sane. practi-
CAL middle ground that will seek to
make beginning on sound and broad
economic foundations, and to outline
future policy capable of gradual
fulfillment without ever embarrassing
the nation financially or interfering
with its other needful projects.
We hope that President Taft will
prove the man who can act the har-
monizing buffer between the various
elements who will come to logger
heads in the framing of the govern
ment's policy toward waterway i'm
provement. His plain speech at St
Louis encourages our belief that the
hope is well-grounded.- Milwaukee

The President Feeling His wav.

President Taft's message to the six.
ty-second congress is complete. He
has written it on the slopes of the
Rockies, in the A!kali dust of the
inter-mountain states and ON the
blushing fruit lands Of the Pacific
slope. Little is lacking from tie doc
ument save the executives benedic

recommendations handed him by mem
bers of his cabinet. Taken as a whole

called a try-out of the message.

Primitive Philosophy.

Animism is the name of a theory
originally propounded by Stahl, about
vital principle and only cause of life,
and that the functions of plant and
animal life depend upon this principle
of vitality, and not mere mechanical
and chemical action. AS the word is
now used, it denotes the general doc
trine of spiritual beings. 1t is not
itself religion, but sort of primi-
tive philosophy.

Tillman and Taft Agree.

Senator Tillman's refusal to pav
$40 for his dinner. even though he
ate it in the company of the president
OF the United States, will awake a
grateful echo, we imagine, in MIR.
Taft's own bosom. 1t is a fact calling
for the attention of the professional!
sociologist that the president should
have been most exposed to the hor.
rors of the $40 dinner among the thor
oughbred Democracy of the far west
and that his meals should have grown
simpler, and incidentally more nu-
tritive, as he has made his way back
to the effete and hypercivilized At
lantic border. Now, $40 a plate for a
great state banquet does not strike
one as too much, even for South Car
olina, but to one haunted with an un-
broken vision OF turtle soup and
squad the Jeffersonian dollar dinner
must seem the ideal thing. On this
point Mr.. Taft and Senator Tillman
undoubtedly meet, and the breakup of
the solid south is brought by so much
nearer. In general it would be well

committees could rid themselves of

by the bandit. Ia his first hold up of
the Eudora State bank Bullock shot
and killed a policeman.

river the boys lost ground and few
minutes later the pursuers were at
their heels. Mckay then surrendered,
but Bullock, wrenching the revolvers
from his faltering partners hands,
sped on into woods.
John Miller, a farmer, who knew
nothing about the pursuit, stepped in
to Bulock's path and the boy, thinking
him pursuer, fired several shots that
barely missed Miller. Seeing that the
youth was ready to shoot at anyone,
the pursuers fired a score of shots at
Bullock, who returned the fire. Thus
the chase continued for some time,
none of the shots exchanged between
the citizens and their quarry taking
effect. The hunted robber gradually
lost ground and with scant hope of es-
cape, he stopped and shouted defiance
at the fast approaching hunters
Il have only one bullet left, but I'll
beat you yet, he shouted and fired his
remaining bullet through his own
head. Mckay was later captured.
