History of Cnxe.
Johnson was indicted in the FEEDER a
courts OF alissouri in 1908. on charge
OF having violated the pure food and
drugs act of 1906. 1t was alleged
that johnson, doing business under tho
name OF company. shipped from one
State to another certain articles desig-
mated as 'cancerine tablets" etc. the
labels upon which We're false and mis-
leading, in that they implied that the
articles would cure and were effec-
tive In bringing about the cure OF
cancer. 1t was alleged In the indict-
! mcnt that this statement was untrue
and the articles were worthless and
Ineffective for such purposes.
The indictment was qua shed on the
ground that the pure food and drugs
act was restricted to prevention OF
misstatements about tho Ingredients
of drugs. and did not include the pre-
vention of misstatements about the
curative properties OF medicines.
The government appealed to the SUI
preme Court. 1t was the first case to
come to the court under the drug
| section OF the act.
In the arguments before the SUI
preme Court. the government admitted
| that the construction 1t put upon the
law would probably break up the
patent medicine business in this coun-
try. On behalf of DR.. Johnson. 1t was
contended that II the governments
view prevailed. that every physician
would become criminal If he pre-
scribed for patient in another State
md made any suggestion as to tho
| efficacy of his prescription. It was
stated also that the biggest trust in
| the United States, the medical trust
dominated by the so-called regular
| physicians. would be delighted II the
patent medicine concerns were put out
of business by this case.

LLOYD A HARD WORKER.
Victory in the house has brought
hard work and responsibility to the
democratic leaders as well as honols
AS an example Of the exacting duties
of a congressman of the democratic
faith, take the case of Hon. James 7
Lloyd, of the first Missouri district. Nj.
Lloyd is chairman of the democratic
congressional committee and as such
assumes general supervision of the
campaign in every district in the Uni
ted States. He is also chairman of the
standing committee on accounts ami
closely scrutinizes every item of OK
penditure in the lower house. He is also
chairman Of the standing committee
on organization, or clerical force, a
job with a world of detail In addition
to all these and his onerous duties as
a congressman, Mr.. Lloyd delivers nr-
merous addresses before societies
schools, ietc., and is always to be found
in his seat when the house is called
to order.
CLARK AGAINST GAG RULE
Speaker Champ Clark is opposed to
the gag being applied to government
employees. President Taft Is endeavor-
ing to enforce a Roosevelt rule which
prohibits government employees from
giving information even to members Of
congress. The employees are also pro.
hibited from calling the attention Of
members to any grievances. Speaker
Clark denounces this rule as un-AmerI-
can, and declares he will listen to
grievances of employees when they de-
sire to come to him and he defles any
one to interfere.
BREAD TRUST HAS EASY SAILING.
A S25, 100000 bread trust which will
operate, to start with, in 81 large cit
les, has been formed in New YORK
under the name of the General Baking
company. The alleged object of the
new octopus is to educate the public
to a higher standard of quality in
bread" Inquiry at the office of Atts:-
ney General Wickersham ELECTED the
information that absolutely nothing
was known there of the formation OF
ANY bread trust" The reply was not
unusual, as the attorney generals Of
fee is generally the last place IN
Washington to go for information
which might be construed to admit the
existence of any trust.
TAFT WILL HAVE OPPOSITION.
If the Taft republicans are really
under the impression that the pres.-
dent will have no opposition for
denomination, they are laboring under
an hallucination.
Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin is
in the field, and progressive republic
an leaders in practically every state in
the union are working for La Toilette
delegates.
Taft and sure defeat, or La Follatte
with a chance to win is the battle
cry of the La Toilette forces.
