PLEA OF NECESSITY.
Mauufacturers' Excuse for UsinE
Chemicals in Food Products.

MRuafaGturers' Excuse for Using
Chemicals in Food Products.
New York Tribune.
The plea is put forward by the manu-
facturers Of a certain kind of candy that
the use therein OF one Of the drugs which
have been pronounced deleterious and have
therefore been forbidden under the pure
food law is absolutely necessary in order
that the pieces Of candy may retain the
desired form. A similar plea has been
made by other purveyors Of prepared food
articles that certain chemicals were neces-
sary in order that the things might pre-
sent q desired appearance in color, or that
they might meet some other requirement.
Necessity is, II real, most urgent plea,
but in tho present class OF cases its reality
is not so lndisputable as to be entirely
convincing. There is an historic incident
Of a mans making the plea that he must
live, whereto the reply was given that the
necessity OF it was not obvious. The
necessity Of making a candy or any article
OF food which requires the employment OF
a noxious ingredient is not apparent.
There are other kinds OF candy which can
be made without such drugs. There are
other food products which can be prepared
ana pfeseINeu "ilhOut thOh' Ahere are
other occupations in which the makers OF
these poisoned things can engage. The
necessity which is pleaded does not in the
last analysis exist
The fact is that in the great majority Of
cases the alleged necessity for using in
furious chemicals as preservatives does
not exist at all or Is really a necessity Of
Disgusting inferior or unwholesome stuff.
Sound fruit, for example, properly canned.
VIII keep without chemical preservatlves.
It ia when unsound fruit is used or when
It is carelsssly or improperly put up that
the drugs are needed The same is largely
true OF preserved meats. 1t is to make un-
sound stuff seem sound, or to make stuff

AN ENDLESS CHAIN.
Iowa Law that Promotes Public Tur-
moiL.
Pittsburg Dlspatch

Pittsburg Dispatch.
1t remained for the Iowa legislature
at It's last session to reduce the recall
theory to Its extreme absurdity in practice
A bill introduced by Senator Cosson. now
assistant to the attorney general and re-
publican nominee for his chiefs successor
provides that upon complaint Of five
citizens 1t shall be the duty Of the states
attorney general 20 place any mayor or
county official on trial for removal. This
extraordinary example OF the recall made
easy has already been invoked against
the mayors OF Ottumwa and Kellogg, one
being accused of failure to enforce rlgor-
ously the temperance laws and the other
Of having celebrated the Fourth with
enthusiasm. The other 800 mayors OF the
state are awaiting the inevitable since
they realize that II is only a question of
time until they displease five citizens on
something, and charges will follow
promptly.
still more curious possibility is sug-
gested by the prediction that II the mayor
OF Ottumwa should be removed there is
every indication that he would be reelected
by an even larger majority. After which
presumably the five directors would hasten
to file new charges and another recall
would be in order. Aside from this posi-
bility of an endless chain of election, trial
recall and reelection the disturbing power
thus placed in the hands OF an infinltes-
imal fraction Of the voters is so likely
to be used for personal or political purposes
as to constitute a very grave danger. II

petty faultflnder and tend to keep reput.

The Platform Conventions.

The platform conventions OF the
various political parties held under the
provisions of the Nebraska primary
law have done their work according to
plans and specifications foreshadowed
by the various county conventions that
selected the delegates.
On the democratic side. the effort Of
MIR. Bryan to force a declaration in
favor of county option failed ignomin-
iously, and for the first time since his
leadership was established the demo-
Gratis of his own home state have re-
fused to follow him. What Mr.. Bryan
is to do will be disclosed shortly In an
official statement from him, in which
he will decline to take the platform
omission as conclusive on him, and
outline program to insure a county
option legislature irrespective of par
tisan politics.
The significant feature of the repub-
lican gathering is its decisive vote Of
approval and confidence in President

the line of his recommendations. This
test vote of more than two to one de-
veloped in the very beginning by the
selection of a permanent chairman,
and was reinforced by the platform
recitation of the benefcent and whole
some government enjoyed by the ma
ton under republican rule, and is not
in any way deprecated by the tail-end
motion offered by Congressman Norris,
after two-thirds of the delegates had
left, approving his own conduct In
combating Cannonism in the house.
The republican convention has also
endorsed the demand for county OPP
ton which had been registered in the
form of instructions on nearly one-halt
of the delegates, and has gone one
step further in recommending the sub
mission of q constitutional amendment
for the initiative and referendum, al
though this subject was not an issue
generally in the local caucuses and
conventions. The practical effect Of
| the republican declaration on these
two subjects is to make the republican
organization an auxiliary to the County
Option league and the Direct Legisla
ton league. These questions will have
to be settled however, by the voter,

Federal Auto License.

Serious attention is being given to
the matter of federal license for au-
toists that will facilitate travel from
state to state without the annoying
necessity of stopping at every state
line to procure new license. 1t is
the same difficulty that has come up in
Europe, where, as American tourists
know, 1t is necessary to obtain q II
cense at the border of each country.
This entails additional expense and
endless annoyance and inconvenience
and has given rise to demand for an
international license abroad. Europe
is likely to heed the demand, too, for
it is not Indifferent to the fact that
American tourists in all are leaving
something like $4OO.O0O,000 over
there each year and sums of this sort
count in business transactions
But in the United States, while the
autoist enjoys many rights which some
people think he should not have, he is
here to stay, and automobiling is more
than mere pleasure, and he has rights
which ought to be respected. One of
them is this very right OF interstate
travel. 1t ought not be necessary for
him to pay a new license fee every
tiIne he comes to state line, or to
rely on reciprocal courtesy. Such a
fee acts as nothing more nor less than
an additional tax. A federal license
might, OF course, be objected to by
states that were unwilling to forfeit
the income from license fees, but this
could be compensated in the form OF
taxes. Placing automobiles under a
federal license might also lead to a
solution of the auto problem, If such
we may call 1t. AS popular as are
automobiles, their running and speed
must be better regulated than they
have yet been and it is quite probable
that federal provision could be made
to Mt the case with satisfactory results

Famous Foot Ball Coach Against
Radical Changes in Rules-De-
MES Foot Ball Is So Terribly
Dangerous.
Especial COrrespondence.)

ANN ARBOR, Mich, Jan. 13.-
Coach Hurry Up" Yost is against
radical changes in foot ball rules.
He does not think the game needs
a shakeup.
He favors minor changes, how
ever, but most important, in his
opinion, would be to give officials
Authority to order players out of
the game when exhausted or in
jured.
Yost denies the element of dan
lger is more pronounced than in
|other sports, and claims that but
three deaths last year can be
traced to the game.
There is danger in foot ball, :"
says Yost, "but no sport worth
while is without this element.
Eliminate sports in which
there is danger and the public vii
be without diversion, because al
athletic sports are more or les;
dangerous.
''In my opinion changes can be
made to help the game, but l be

Here's hoping the managerial
troubles of VIM. Reginald Armour,
owner of the Toledo American
association base ball club, are
ended. Bill Reginald's woes have
been frequent for the last couple
of years.
Armour tried to manage the
team from the bench, same as he
managed Dayton in the old days,
and as he did later when he
shaped the destinies of the Maps
and Tigers, but he couldn't stand
the strain.
Along toward the end of 1908
he turned the team over to Catch
er Fred Abbott. Abbott was a
failure, and along the middle of
1909 he resigned and Sox SeyboId
took a try at the job. Sox wasn't
a bowling success, either, and Ar
mour feared he might have to take
to the bench again in 1910.
However, he has signed up
Ducky Holmes, the old big league
outfielder. and lately part owner
and manager of the Lincoln and
Sioux City teams in the Western
league. He will have complete
charge OF the team.
