IN DEFENSE OF DIR. WILEY.

The war which the food adulterators
have been making upon DR.. Wiley, and
especially the opposition to his decree
against the benzoate of soda as pre-
servative. have had the natural result
in rousing his friends to vigorous de-
fense. A number of associations and
organizations interested in food prod
ucts and who are doing legitimate,
healthful business have come out
strongly in his support. and the resolu-
tions they have adopted will do a great
deal of good in bringing about cor
rect understanding of the warfare
against him.. He has undoubtedly done
wonderful work in improving the
quality of food products. which not
only protects the health and purses of
the people. but sustains those manusac-
turers and dealers who are conscicn-
tious about the quality of their prod
ucts. This is Particularly true of the
benzoate Of soda decision. The men
who are making straight goods say un-
hesitatingly that when they use sound
tomatoes and other vegetables and
properly prepare them that there is no
need of any preservative. 1t is only
those who make catsup and other wares
out Of defective tomatoes who need to
add preservative to have their goods
keep any length of time. They say, as
The National Tribune has said from the
first, that digestion is decomposition,
and that anything which tends to pre-
vent decomposition is an injury to d.
gestion, no matter what some specially
retained experts may say. These have
been employed. like lawyers, to sup
port the case of the manufacturers who
adulterate their products with benzoate
of soda and other preservatives to con-
ceal their inferior quality.
The National tribune., 1909-04-01
THEeiNHERrTANCE TAX.

We are compelled to differ from
President Taft and the Committee on
Ways and, Means with regard to the
inheritance tax. Not but wnat the TAX
is just and proper one and dinerins
markedly FROM the income tax. Ihe
main question Is whether the United
States is not invading the legitimate
province Of the States. The States and
the Counties i'm them have far more
need of revenue than the United States,
and theira taxation must necessarily
bear morei directly and GENEROUSLY upon
the people. The Counties need bridges,
roads. public buildings, school houses.
to care for the poor and insane, to ad-
minister justice, and so on, which takes
great deal of money that must be as
sessed directly upon the farms and
manufactures. Therefore. every lesiti-
mate source of taxation possible should
be left to the State. In import duties
and excise taxes the Government has
sources of revenue which can be ex-
plotted heavily without imposing any
burdens upon the people and probably
with direct benefits to them. There
fore, it should confine itself to it. and
leave the inheritance tax to the States.
New York has very successful inher-
itance tax, which produces about one
fourth as much as is contemplated will
be raised by the tax imposed in the
Payne bill. Illinois, Pennsylvania and
some other States also have inheritance
taxes. What is the Government going
to do with regard to them? Will it
abolish the State taxes? II SO. it will
have to give them the amount of reve-
nue. which they lose, and this will at
once produce inequality and injustice,
because most of the States do not have
such a form of a levy. 1t would be
very much better to increase the tax on
beer to 50 barrel, which would bring
in more revenue than the proposed in
heritance tax, be much easier and more
satisfactorily collected, and do good in
the way of repressing the consumption
of that vile intoxicant.
The National tribune., 1909-04-01
THE COLONY,

AS announced in last weeks paper
The National Tribune Colony has been
located in the famous Lake Region in
the Central part of Florida. 1t is II
miles north of Lake Kissimmee and
six miles south of the town of kissim-
NEE. A branch of the Atlantic Coast
Line now runs thru the tract from
Kissimmee, and the land lies between
four lakes-Tohopekalig East Toho-
pekaliga, Alligator and Gentry. 1t
embraces the famous st. Cloud planta-
ton, established by Hamilton Disstin,
the noted saw manufacturer of Phila-
delphia, which during his life he made
ton of sugar cane, oranges, lemons,
lines, small fruits and vegetables. The
canal, of which the papers had once so
much to say, which he built to give
complete drainage to the tract, is on
the land. The soil is of unusual rich
ness, and produces astonishingly. It is
about 60 miles little north of east
from Tampa. The considerable towns
in the neighborhood are Leesburg TO
the northwest, Sanford and De Land
to the north and Dade City to the west.
On the Atlantic Coast and the Indian
River to the eastward are number of
Winter resorts. The railroad is lined
with these, and they are growing in in
terest and popularity every year. The
next County north of osceola County,
in which the colony is located, is Orange
County, which is filed up with resi-
dences of Northern people, with orange
and lemon groves, truck farms, etc.
Full title to the land has been Sc
cured, and surveyors are now at work
running the lines and making other
operations for allotment and settlement
We hope in next weeks paper to give
very full details as to the enterprise.
Everything is being pushed along as
rapidly as possible, but it must be re-
membered that in the inception of an
undertaking OF such magnitude there
are a world of details to be arranged
to assure the success of the settlement
and the satisfaction of the settlers.
The National tribune., 1909-04-01
THE BALKAN WAR CLOUD.

We are now authoritatively informed
that the annual Spring scare over
war in the Balkans Is at an end, and
that we can be assured of European
peace. The powers have agreed to rec
ognize Austro-Hungary's absorption of
Bosnia and Herzegovina, Servia has
been forced to acknowledge that she
had no claim upon them, and Russia is
to be gnashing her teeth over
the failure to start another war upon
the pretext of rescuing her brothers
in race and religion from intolerable
tyranny This looks as IL the powers
outside of Russia were actively favor
able to the proposition to extend Aus
tro-Hungary to the Bosphorus, and
build the Dual Empire unto great
Slavic power to offset Russia. The i'm
portance of this to us is that Russia,
being checked in the direction of Con-
stantinople, will turn her attention to
her other great National object, that of
securing frontier upon the warmer
shores of the Pacific-in other words to
get hold on Manchuria and Korea and
have. ports in which her war and mer-
chant ships will not be blockaded by
ice during a greater part of the year.
Russia will begin at once
to give Japan something else to think
about than hostile legislation against
Japs in California and Nevada.
The National tribune., 1909-04-01
A DIsAGREEABLE INCIDENT.

New York has shocked the country
by the execution of Mrs. Mary Farmer
FOR murder. Unquestionably Mrs.
Farmer was q cold-blooded assassin, and
her crime had all the elements to bring
1t under the stern law of capital pun
punishment for men, and cannot see
how society could get along without it,
but there is an unconquerabIe aversion
to anything which savors of physical
violence to woman, and despite the
theory that the law should know no
distinction of sex, IT would seem as if
We could get along without visiting the
last dread penalty upon women. 1t is
very rare, indeed, that any woman COM
mits deliberate murder, and when she
does 1t seems to us that the interests of
society would be subserved by life i'm
prisonment. We cannot too strongly
uphold the doctrine of kindness and
consideration for women, no matter
what they may do. and the execution of
woman may have q bad influence in
encouraging to physical violence against
them scoundrels who are only too dis
posed to brutality toward the weaker
sex. While there should be much more
hanging of male murderers than there
is, We might get along with milder
punishment for the very rare and infrs-
quent female criminals.

THE NATIONAL ENCAMpslENT.

General Orders, No. 5, from Henry
NJ. Nevius, Commander-in-Chief, G. A.
R., fixes the National Encampment at
Salt Lake City for the week beginning
Monday. Aug. .. AS to rates the Com
mander-in-Chief says:
"a rate of one fare for the round trip
from Chicago west to Salt Lake City
has been granted by the Western Pas
senger Association, the Trunk Lines and
the New England Passenger Association
have offered rate of one and one-haif
fare over lines thru their territory to
Chicago. The Commander feels assured,
however, that rate of one fare will
yet be given by the last-named three As
sociations: he is laboring with that end
in view. Tickets to be good for 80 days
from date of purchase, and good for
stop-overs on return west of Chicago.
No charge for validation of tickets.
Choice of routes from Chicago west"
Great preparations are being made By
the Salt Lake City people for a highly
satisfactory entertainment of the AID
National Ehcampment
National Headquarters will be estab-
Headquarters of the w. r. c. and the
Ladies of the G. A. r. will be at the
Kenyon Hotel.
The Commander-in-Chi further
says:
Posts, delegations. regimental asso-
Citations or comrades desiring accom-
modations should communicate with
Frank NJ. Sterrett, Executive Director
of the Executive Committee, 222-223
Commercial Club Building. Salt Lake
City, Utah, setting forth in their COM
munication explicitly what they desire,
and the same will be by him referred to
the proper subcommittee. The Execu-
tive Committee are now preparing a
booklet containing the names of all per-
sons serving On the various committees.
with their correct post office addresses.
This booklet will be sent out to all De-
partments as soon as completed. This
booklet will be sent by mail to any COM
rade upon request by said Comrade Ster-
rett.
u. 3. De Friest, of No. 2S7 Broadway,
New York City, n. y, General Eastern
Agent for the Union Pacific Railroad
Company, Oregon Short Line Railroad
Company and the Oregon Railroad &
Navigation Company, advises me that
he has arranged thru the Oregon Short
Line to park sleeping cars and private
cars at Salt Lake City during the G. A.
X. Encampment, Aug. . to IA, inclusive
The facilities for parking equipment for
occupancy at Salt Lake are excellent,
there being plenty of trackage and sani-
tary arrangements in good shape. This
is for the benefit of the Posts who de-
sire to occupy their cars while attending
the Encampment at Salt Lake City rath-
er than go to hotels. Communicate with
j. b. De Friest, and he will be glad to
take up and arrange for suitable loca-
ton for such as desire to OCCUPY their
cars. There will be no charge for park
ing these cars. OF course, this refers to
private or chartered cars"
The National tribune., 1909-04-01
THE G. A. r. INFLUENCE.

Replying to some depreciation in the
Philadelphia papers of the influence of
the G. A. r. in securing pension legis-
lation, Past Commander-in-Chief Rob
ert B. Beath said:
Veterans who say such things as
this against their organization are
chronic kickers VINO do not weigh their
words. The Grand Army of the Re-
public, thru its National Committee,
generally composed of number of its
strongest and most influential men, has
secured all the advances in pension leg
isiation that have been made in the
interest of the veterans OF the country;
and this it has done, unselfishly, know
ing that the benefits would accrue
largely to thousands of veterans who
have not contributed dollar or given
an hours work to assist those more I'M
fortunate than themselves.
'rhe order has been conducted also
as economically as any other in exist
ence, and the few dollars given in the
way of presents We're to comrades who
gave their time for a year or more
without any compensation.
IF veterans have any kick to make,
let them be elected delegates and make
the fight in the Encampment, where
they can be heard"
The National tribune., 1909-04-01
UNANIMOUS CONSENT.

One amendment has developed from
this ruction, which seems an amend
ment in fact, and II is a wonder that 1t
has not been made before. 1t has been
the practice that when a member had
a matter of much Importance to him
on hand, and which he felt would not
excite opposition, to solicit the Speaker
for recognition to ask for unanimous
consent for the consideration OF his
measure or proposition. This imposed
a great deal upon both member and
Speaker. The member had TO press
his claims amidst great NUMBER OF
others and to take his chance Tor them.
1t imposed upon the Speaker the neces-
sity of deciding among a NUMBER ol
similar applications. This was not
pleasing to either Speaker or member.
Under the new rule this is taken
completely out of the Speakers hands
and placed in the power of the House.
A man who desires unanimous consent
for the consideration of some bill or
resolution merely notifies the Clerk OF
the House, who places his application
upon a special calendar. and that cal
endar is considered on set day,
Wednesday. The requests for unani-
nous consent are read in their order,
and the House Immediately acts upon
them If there is objection, the bill or
resolution has to go back to the ca'en-
dar for its regular order.
1t looks as if this rule would work
;x,I,, M
ground for complaint against the Speak
er. AS the Speaker himself favored this
rule, he evidently desired it as much
needed relief from some of his pressing
responsibilities.
The National tribune., 1909-04-01
PATRIOTIC DUTY.

Col John l.. Glen, Chief Quartermas-
ter of the Department of Texas, has
done patriotic duty and given a need
ed lesson to the people of Texas. The
bodies of the American soldiers killed
at Palo Alto, Resaca de la Palma and
other operations in Taylor's advance to
the Rio Grande, which opened the Mex
lean War, have been resting in a neg
lected spot near Point Isabel. The peo-
pie of Texas. for whom these men
fought. have paid no attention to their
graves. and the ground has been in a
shameful condition. Some of the bones
were recently discovered in plowing up
a portion of the field, and Col. Ciem
at once took action to have all the
remains removed to a National ceme-
terry, where the graves will be properly
marked.
