TAFT'S DECISION in WILEY
CASE OF FAR REACHING IMPORT

Washington d. c., Sept. 21.-The
decision Of President Taft In which
he upheld the integrity and good inten-
tons Of DR. Harvey w. wiley. chief Of
the bureau of chemistry, department
Of agriculture In the employment OF
DIR. H. H. Rusty. the noted scientist.
and took occasion to warmly COM
mend DIR. Wiley for his earnest work,
is fraught with great possibilities for
future developments.
Throughout the executive depart
ments generally President Taft is COM
mended for his decision in this now
celebrated controversy. There Is a
general feeling. too. that If the person.
mel board of the department of agri-
culture, which liz composed Of Willet
M. Hays. the assistant secretary, G.. @.
Clark. chief clerk. and solicitor Nc
Cabe, had had at its disposal originally
all of the facts which were before
President Taft, the Wiley case" never
would have developed, since the recon-
mendation of the board could not then
have been adverse to the chief chemist.
Attorney General Wickersham also
would have been saved q great embar
Tagsment.
However, inasmuch az the attorney
general admittedly did not have all Of
the record before him when he passed
on the case, he doubtless will be able
to retreat with good grace. Whether
he does or not, the feeling has settled
down in official life-and in private
life--at the national capital that Presi-
dent Taft has acted wisely ana In do
Ing so has played good politics"
Aside from the personalities OF the
men involved, the presidents decision
is full OF promise for thorough and
effective enforcement of the pure food
and drugs act. Many men Of promin-
ence look upon this law as one Of the
greatest forward steps ever taken in
the legislative history OF this country.
They are anxious to see It enforced to
the letter. but with an intelligent dis
elimination which will insure justice
to all parties concerned.
These same men feel--as the presi-
dent evidently does--that the law cam
not be properly enforced with so many
contending and inharmonious infiu-
ences working against each other

within the department Of agriculture.
and la the very bureau OF chemistry
itself. Therefore, any reorganization
Of the administrative forces OF the law
win begin by bringing harmony and
unison out of discord and chaos. This
will mean the elimination OF Or. r.. T..
Dunlap, the associate chemist and the
appointment Of a man to that position
who ia not personally antagonistic to
the chief of the bureau, regardless of
what his views may be on some Of the
matters which they must jointly con-
slider.
IL this step Is not taken, the board
OF food and drug inspection, which now
consists Of DIR. Wiley, DIR. Dunlap and
Solicitor McCabe,, will be reconstruct
ed by the elimination OF the latter and
the appointment of q third scientist
who ID known to be wholly impartial
professionally and personally and who
is interested in seeing that the law "a
properly and fairly enforced.
II seems almost certain, too. that
Solicitor McCabe, who would appear
from the evidence to be much pre-
JUDGED against DIR. Wiley. must be re-
AtSFSA A4u4n l1S scene OF ACLlOn, OF
placed in q position where he has not
the power by his vote to oyerrule the
chief chemist on questions involving
the enforcement of~the law. DIR. wiley
told the house investigating committee
that he was confident he could take
care Of all the law matters relating to
the enforcement OF the pure food and
drugs act if allowed an intelligent law
clerk or attorney, who could handle
matters with the department OF justice
without having them pass through the
hands Of Solicitor McCabe or any other
solicitor who might be inclined to an
tagonize him when he insisted on
carrying out the provisions OF the law
literally.
II Is doubtful whether this practice
will be allowed, although 1t obtained
for time after the law became ef-
fective and seemed to work satisfac-
torily. at.least as far as Or, Wiley, who
was in direct charge of enforcing the
law, was concerned. Il would seem,
however, that after the eruption which
has occurred 1t ought to be possible to
handle all matters through the usual
departmental channels without any
