goon delegates and force the passage
of the resolution over the vehement
protests of one half of the states rep
resented.
Already there has been much una
vorable criticism of the course of the
Department of Agriculture in exerting
its influence through number of its
employees present at the convention
first to assist the purveyors of chem
ically preserved foods to force their
products upon the public, and second
to down DR.. II. w. Wiley. While
the benzoate champions connected
with the department were permitted TO
trade upon the prestige of the depart
ment and even of the national gov
eminent itself, and the members of
the Remsen Board were present at
government expense to testify as ex-
perts in behalf of benzoate of soda,
Dr. H. w. Wiley, the best equipped
man in the Department of Agriculture
to discus pure food matters, was not
allowed to speak in his own defense.
On the floor he was attacked by his
superior officer, Secretary Wilson,
indirectly if not by name. In the lob
bies swarmed the agents of the &c
partment of the whiskey men. the
bleached flour manufacturers, the
benzoic acid users and others whose
interests lie in weakening as far as
possible the national pure food Law
and their cry was, Down with Wiley"
Finally, by ringing in the Remsen
board, Wilson and Roosevelt, a milk
and-water resolution was damned
through.

Since then the storm has been gath
erng and it will break in Washington
next winter when the liveliest fight
since the pure food bill was passed
will take place. The food commits
sioners who are opposed to doctering
ketchup, tomato soup, jams, ienies,
etc, with chemicals, will take t1e
matter before President Taft this
winter and request him to order ar
investigation into the actual condi-
tons under which Denzoate of soda
is employed as a preservative. For
reasons not altogether clear, the De-
partment Of Agriculture has side
tracked the only report ever made
on the actual trade conditions where
benzoate of soda figures, and ha; per-
sisted in maintaining a friendly, even
a paternal attitude, toward the drug
solely because of a negative report
from three chemists as to some expe-
riments. These departments, as
everyone knows, did not touch in any
way upon the question of 'medicated
garbage" which, by the way, was not
referred to the Remsen Board by Sec
+retary Wilson. II is charged that re-
fuse from canning factories is utilized
in the manufacture of continental
fnn1s A Of M IL.
spector confirms this charge.
Now comes the association of food
commissioners with a resolution ask
ing President Taft and Secretarv Will
son "to institute further studies con.
corning the use of preservatives along
the broadcast lines" The studies de-
sired are to be directed toward actual
conditions and not theoretical conclus
ions. 1t is thought not improbable
that President Taft will be influenced
to a considerable extent by the pro-
nounced hostility of Secretary Wilson
toward further investigation Of the
subject. In case the President de-
clines to direct any further inquiry, a
congressional investigation will be
sought, and it is openly asserted that
if congress goes into the matter, the
conditions will be found to equal
those which existed in the meat-pack
ing trade before the PASSAGE of the
meat inspection act.
