81 Bushels In Month of May.
Atlanta, Ga. - No, less than $4,000
bushels of corn were condemned dur,
ing the month of May by State Pure
Food Inspector p. A. Methvin, be-
cause it was found 10 be unfit for the
market, and had not been labeled,
Corn for hogs only" in accordance
with the pure food law.
This is an indication, states Mr..
Methvin, Of the vast amount of corn
being shipped into the state In VIC
lation of the law, despite the vigi-
lance of the inspectors He finds that
frequent attempts are made to eyade
and violate the law by "spiking" corn,
which merely is to mix little good
corn with much bad corn.
At present Mr.. Methvin is at work
on case at Savannah, ad the VIC
lators will be prosecuted as soon as
possible. Stock raisers and dairy
men throughout the state are aban-
doning corn as food, it is stated,
on account of the frequent violations.

May Ask Wilson to Leave Cap'he~
AS a result of the u~nfavorable I'm
nression which Secretary Of Agricul-
tare Wilson made before the Bal
lineer Pinchot Investigating commit
tee. the gossip which is current in Of
fetal circles in WASHINGTON is that
he will not remain much longer in
the cabinet.
The showing which the secretary
made is regarded as unfortunate. and
although he made an emphatic denial
OF Mr.. Pinchot's statement that he had
given his assent to the sending OF the
Dolliver letter. his confusion over
what he hf told Mr.. Pinchot. and his
understanding or misunderstanding OF
the situation did not in any way i'm
prove the administrations side OF the
controversy under Investigation.
Another estatement which he made
and which is not regarded as calcu-
lated to help keep him in the presi-
dents official family was his acknowl-
edgment that he knew almost nothing
Of what was going on in the forestry
service. which is under his iurisdic-
ton. In almost pitiful tones the aged
cabinet officer confessed that they had
not told him of the situation and he
had too many other matters In which
he was interested to give it any at
tentiOn.
It has been stated that the president
would be glad to receive Secretary
Wilson's resignation.

s REAL THANKSGIVING.

The Salvation Army has made its
annual announcement that it means to
do as much as possible TO give the
poor Of the city a happy Thanksgiv-
ing Provisions and clothing will be
distributed. and enough food Will be
placed IN the homes of many Of them,
not only for the one day of Thanks
giving, but for several days. The Sal
vation Army represents one of the
practical charities, and it deserves all
the encouragement it is possible to
give. And that encouragement ought
not to be confined TO word of mouth;
those who are able ought to make
that encouragement as practical as the
army does its work-give something
that will help the work along.
It has always been one of the rules
OF the army never 10 talk religion to
a person who was starving. Its
founders always held that man with
full stomach, with decent clothing
on his back, with his family about
him clothed and comfortable. was in
mood far more receptive OF lecture
on the beauties of salvation than
the man who was hungry and freezing.
So it has thrown the weight Of its in
fluence toward practical christianity,
and much of its success is due to this.
When one receives a certain kind
Of help from a certain source, he is
more likely than not 10 return to that
source for other sorts of help, reli-
gious consolation included. Il will
come with better grace from the army
workers to talk salvation to the re-
cipients of their bounty after they have
fed and clothed them. Their hearers
will give more earnest attention 10
the truths of the Bible after the wor-
ny over the next meal has been re-
moved by the munificence of the
army.
Salt Lake people always do pretty
well in the way of assisting the army
in its work, but they should do better
this year than ever before. This city
has been prospered in the year that
has passed. Prosperity has abided
with US, the horn OF plenty has been
turned our way. neither disease nor
flood has menaced this. One of the
most practical methods by which we
can show that we are really thank
ful is to help those who are less for
tunate than are we. A good contribu-
ton 10 the army win make the dol
lars go farther than if distributed
through many other sources.
The Salvation Army does not stop
to ask whether a hungry man is
worthy OF being fed, nor does ii draw
its skirts aside if the wayfarer is lily
clad. It's methods are the true ones.
Help it along.

JOY IN EUROPE.

Letters cabled TO the great eastern
papers by their European correspond
ents, and copies Of English and Ger
man newspapers received since the
election show that the widespread
Democratic victory was received with
a great deal of pleasure across the
water. It was universally interpreted
over there as an indication that the
protective tariff policy of the United
States Is at an end. and that the mar
kets OF this country. the best IN the
world, are 10 be thrown open to the
European tradesman. Says one pa
per, 1911 will inaugurate an era OF
lower tariffs, from which Germany
and the rest of Europe is bound TO
derive profit"
German manufacturers are general
ly admitted to be the most aggressive
in the world, with the possible excep-
ton of our own. and they have for
years turned a longing eye upon the
American market. OF course. there
are a great many lines OF German
manufacture that are sold In this
country. but they are forced to pay the
tariff as they come in. and their pow
er 10 take the profit from the Ameri-
can manufacturer and the wage from
the American workingman is removed
at the port Of entry.
Prior 10 the passage Of the Payne
tariff bill German postal cards were
sold all through the country. The
picture postcards that were and are
so popular were all imported from
Germany. 1t was impossible to manu-
facture them in America and COM
pete with the German manufacturer,
because he could get his work done
much more cheaply. A small duty
was placed on postcards in the Payne
bill, and the result was that scores of
factories have been opened In various
parts of the United States that are do
ing a good business and paying good
wages to their employees.
A lower tariff of course would be
much appreciated on the other side
of the water. With their cheaper Va
Dor, with their workingmen paid
much less than they receive in this
country, the European manufactures
can undersell the American in his own
market. provided the protective tariff
is removed. But their rejoicing in
London and Berlin is rather prema-
ture. The people Of the United States
will never consent to the reduction of
the tariff further than to get it down
to the difference in the cost Of pro-
duction at home and abroad.
And the tariff reformer with any
respect for his own well-being will
I hesitate before he tries IL.
