When the poor man is convicted
of crime he feels disgraced, but the
millionaire who endangers the health
of the community through impure
food is still rece;vedin high circles
of society and retains his place in the
church. Extract from speech by DR..
H. w. Wiley, government food expert.
1t is one of the peculiar conditions
of American life, or morals, or social
atmosphere, that the conviction of a
man for an offense against the entire
public does not seem to carry with it
the stigma that attaches to a really
minor crime aimed at an individual
The man convicted of stealing from a
bank, or from an individual loses
caste at once. But the same man, if
found guilty of violations of the anti
trust laws, of crimes against the gem
eral public interests, or, as DR.. Wiley
pointedly says, of selling unfit and
perhaps poisonous articles of food,
does not suffer in his social, and all
too frequently not even in his relig-
ious status.
This is probably due to the fact that
it is only in comparatively recent
years that these things have been
recognized as crimes and to be pun
ished as such. Under the old dispen-
sation the public was supposed to
protect itself and if it was not able
to do so, could not tell whether an
article sold it had not been adulterated
or treated with injurious chemicals,
or was otherwise not as represented
that was the public's fault. The old
idea was that such tricks of trade"
were merely evidences of American
"smartness. No particular odium
attached to the man who made a for
tune by running the stomachs, or per-
haps even indirectly takiMg the lives
Of his fellow citizens. e I'm to go
back only as far as the Wbanish-Am-
erican war, wholesale wIealer in
drugs in the West sold as pure uuin-
inc to the government an article that
was grossly adulterated and robbed
of its peculiar properties. He was
fined. he proper punishment for
such y pascal would have been
death. But to-day he is doubtless ID
highly honored and much respected
leader of society in the Western town
where he lives.
The growing spirit of opposition to
such practices, though, is having it's
due effect. The day is smsr.far dis
tant WHEN the disgracS zaAgaehed
to suchl crimes against tffJ b.
lie veal will be even gAer
than that now attached
the felon whoseg1ictims are thu
who have trust' him in business
way and been bed. The man who
defrauds the blic by such decep-
lions will be looked upon as lower
than thief. And it is but just that
he should be. The robes of respec-
tibility will eventually be torn away
from this class of offenders and
their i'll gotten gains will not be
sufficient to save them from being
pilloried and labeled with appropri-
ate brands of opprobrium .CiYiliza-
ton is on the up grade in this coun-
try and the era is near at hand when
the big rascals will suffer their de-
serts.
