TAFT,s ENDURANCE

One sees more or less comment, pitch ed in a tone of surprise, over the fact that the president is looking tired, or less cheerful, or more careworn. The wonder is that he is still alive. He has shown logged endurance which would put his predecessor $ strenposity to the blush. He started out with two secret service men, the same ones who had been assigned to the former president, to keep vigil over his comings and his goings, and his tarryings. One of those men has been sent to the hospital suf- fering from nervous breakdown. He was noted for his endurance and his rugged strength. But he gave way and now the president has four secret ser vice men to attend him. At that he will set them fast pace.

CONGRESS ANXIOUS

If anyone can tell when congress will adjourn, he can make tidy sum by peddling the tip among the lawmakers on Capitol Hill. No one so much as these same grave and serious gentlemen would like to know when that date will be. The Cannon matinee left them in doubt more, perhaps, than ever, for no one seemed to be able to tell whether that meant a quickening of the action of the law-making machinery, or wheth- CT it meant delay. Then came that strange action of the late Congressman Lovering's district in Massachusetts in returning a democrat by a big majority on strictly national issues, and the con gressmen have been guessing as result of it ever since. If Colonel Roosevelt would only say something, it might relieve the tenseness of the situation, but he won t. That $ all there is to it.. The great faunal naturalist is num-
 silent, saying never word. When he does speak-well, we'll see what hap
 pens then. Meantime, the signs of spring strongly remind the congressman that hot campaign is coming on, re- lentlessly, remorselessly. They are un- easy. They want to go home. And as yet they don t know any more than the rest of the people when they can do so.

BERLIN, April 2.-American tourists should not find fault with Dr. David J. Hill, American ambassador, if he seems a bit cross nowadays.

Hill has been forced to look for a new home, due to the fact that the American em- bassy has been sold by the owners, is convincing proof that the great United States should house it's representatives in homes that are not on the market for wreckers. pr. Hill by calling into play all his diplomatic ability con vinced the owners that he should have another month before the house was torn down, but in the meantime he is tramping the streets of Berlin, pulling doorbells and asking if the owners have few rooms to rent for q law abiding citizen.

CONTAINED NO MOCHA OR JAVA

The second information charged said defendant with having shipped from Dayton, Ohio, to Columbus, Ind, sixty one e-pound packages of an article of food labeled. on one side of the pack ages, "Dresden Coffee, rich, strong, aro- matic, imported, roasted and blended by The Canby, Ach & Canby Company, Dayton, Ohio,o and on the other side of said packages, "Dresden Coffee. Contains genuine Mocha and genuine Java blended with other high grade coffees, carefully selected for their cup merits" which was msbranded in that it was mislabeled so as to mislead and deceive the purchaser thereof, for the reason that said article was represented as composed of Mocha and Java, blend ed with other high grade coffees, when in truth and in fact it consisted of two parts Santos coffee, one and three-fourth parts of Maracaibo coffee, and one fourth part of washed Santos coffee, and did not contain any Java or any Mocha coffee.
 The defendant, on September 30, l909 pleaded guilty to both informations and the court imposed a fine upon it of $lO and costs in each case.

RAILROAD LEGISLATION

When the president got ready to in dicate to congress that he wished to have done in the way of railroad legis- lation, he had the attorney general draw up bill. This bill was then submitted to both houses of congress. It should have been model, as the at torney general came here from New York with a great reputation as a big lawyer. But, alas for Mr. Wicker sham reputation, the committees to which the bills were submitted found that they were full of "bugs" That is to say, they contained various prOvi- sions which would have resulted in things which the president never con templated, and which were the reverse of what he actually did want. The ex. perienced legislators who had the bills under consideration were not so emin ent, perhaps, as lawyers, as the man who drafted the bills (which to begin with were identical in both houses, but which promised soon to leave the com mittees very different from each other in appearance), but they were skilled in hunting out "bugs" and they soon had all sorts of amendments added to the original drafts. That is one reason why the discussion has been prolonged on them. That is also one reason why the end of the session seems now to be good way off.

MIsBRANDING OLIVE OIL

While some persons insist that cot tonseed oil is as good as olive oil, and
 just as palatable, it is not permitted
 to sell it as such, yet. The department
 of agriculture recently prosecuted a New Orleans firm for putting on the market an alleged pure olive oil which was half cottonseed oil There was fur ther misrepresentation because the label indicated that the oil was put up in France, when in fact it was prepared and bottled in New Orleans. The de- fendant was fined $10.
 The department of agriculture, ir prosecuting violations of the pure food law, has begun to take cognizance of the misbranding of coffee. As has been pointed out in these letters, little real Mocha or Java, compared with the total quantity consumed, is imported into this country, or grown at all. Nevertheless, most of the coffee sold isl either "Mo chaD or ",JavaD or both. The depart ment of agriculture has just issued no tice of Judgment No. 215, under the Food and Drugs Act, which indicates that prosecutions will be the rule where coffees are sold under the wrong brands.
 According to the official notice. on the 80th day of September, 1909, in the district court of the United States for the Southern district of Ohio, judgment was rendered in two cases of the Unit ed States against Canby, Ach X Canby company, both prosecutions upon infor- nations for violation of section of the aforesaid act. The first information in substance charged said defendant with having shipped from Dayton, Ohio, to Paris. H., one dozen cans containing an article of food labeled "The Canby, Ach & Canby Company's Mocha and Java Blend Coffee Roasted and packed only. by the Canby, Ach & Canby Co.,, Dayton, Ohio, |" which was adulterated in that Maracaibo coffee has been sub stituted in part for the Mocha and Java coffees which said cans were rep resented to contain, and which was mis branded in that said cans were labeled so as to deceive and mislead the pur chaser, for the reason that the contents thereof were represented as a blend of Mocha and Java coffees, when in truth and in fact said contents consisted of a mixture of Mocha and Java and wash ed Maracaibo coffees.
