AdulteratiOn of Ice.

A NOTABLE event occurred in Washington,
D. c., last year and is only now reported as the
judgment of the Pure Food Board. 1t seems
that ice was considered as an article of food and
hence came under the purview of the law. An
analysis of ice sold in Washington by the Amer
lean Ice Co. was made and the ice charged with
being adulterated, in that it contained an added
poisonous and deleterious ingredient and con-
sisted wholly or in part of filthy, decomposed
and putrid animal and vegetable substances.
On March Is, 1910. the American Ice Co. enter
ed a plea of guilty and the court imposed upon
it a fine of $780, 90. A notice of this fact is now
given out by the Secretary of Agriculture, pur-
suant to the requirements of the Food and Drug
Law, June 80, 1906.

TIE DISPOSITION Of congress to run the entire
country with laws reaching directly TO the peo-
pie Of the states, ir7paics in no small way the
integrity Of the states, which it was the lntan-
ton OF the founders Of this government To nam
tsiu 1t all hazards. A new and dangerous doc
triDe is obtaining credence in some directions
and that is that there is a growth IN the del!nl-
tons Of law and that courts change the incidence
of the law wear after year with growing expert
"ence.
1t was more than a century ago when this
doctrine was first promulgated. and then 1t came
from Thomas Jefferson, he holding that ne had
the right to make the Louisiana purchase from
NAPOLEON Bonaparte as it was not prohibited by
the federal constitution. and was not among the
rights reserved to the states. With the growth
of the belief that time changes the definitions
of the organic law, many Of our reputable peo-
pie are beginning to loose that keen interest in
the autonomy of the states that for the first cen
tury of our existence was the great conservator
of the federal union. We lost a million human
lives to maintain the federal union and to destroy
the dogma Of secession by force. Unhappily the
national strength thus developed by the federal
union is now tending to destroy the very units
that compose it and merge it into one cOnglom-
Grated mass which shall look to Washington and
to Washington only, for the laws under which
it shall live.
The present congress is struggling with its
centralizing measures and thus far with but a
limited success and we trust that the good sense
of our American statesmen will lead them in
the end to recognize the ~sanctity of the cOnsti-
t~utional guarantees of the rights of the various
states, just as the Supreme Court has thus far
in every instance respected the rights Of the
various states, when any test involving state
rights has come before it.

SATURDAY, JUNE 4. 1910.
The Panama Exposition and the Lou
isiana Legislature.

No more brilliant move has ever been 'rnade
in political circles than that of the LOUISIANA
Legislature in its recent trip to Washington as a
BODY to appear before the Senate and House
committees to present the claims OF Louisiana
for the coming Panama Exposition. the advant-
ages that the City of New Orleans has for that
purpose and the unanimity of sentiment among
the people of Louisiana in favor of the EXPOSE
ton and their willingness to contribute largely
of their own means for that purpose.
The entire legislature, headed by Gov. San
ders and Mayor Behrman. once in Washington,
became the most powerful advocates that could
be sent from a great state to represent its earn
est wishes to the national congress. A thous-
and miles would seem a long distance and yet
within the limits of a single week our leglsla-
ture travelled that distance. did its work IN
Washington and returned again to our state
capital and resumed its sessions. We believe
that it is the first time in the history Of the re-
public that anything of the kind ever occurred.
1t is fortunate in this case that Louisiana acted
with practical unaEimity, scarcely a dissenting
voice having been heard, and the promises of
taxation to the extent of four million dollars
and of our own direct contribution of a million
dollars assure the FIVE millions desired. beyond
q doubt.
The cordial reception met by our great dele
CATION on it's way to Washington through all the
intervening states and the many interviews with
leading men had in Washington brought our own
delegation back to US in a very optimistic mood
and full of confidence that while the work must
70 on, and every effort must be made to secure
the exposition, still they now feel that the fight
is already won and that it is only necessary to
commune to do what all prudent men would do,
and that is to still use every effort to secure the
great exposition. 1t is Manifest that the great
interest that is being displayed in the proposed
exposition throughout the entire United States
will make it a record breaker in its magnifcence
and grandeur and so we say all hail to the Pan
anna Exposition in New Orleans in 1915.

Our Centralizing National Government

The political pot continues to boil in Wash
ington and without any very satisfactory re-
suits. The Postal Savings Banks, that threat
ened so seriously the integrity of all of the state
banks of the country and impaired in degree
any way the status of the national banks of the
