DIR. WILEY on TOP

Nobody could have been greatly sur
prised Mt the dropping of Solicitor Nc
Cabe and DR.. +. L. Dunlap as members
Of the Pure Food and Drug Board OF
the Department Of Agriculture Their
DAYS in control of that board were num-
bered when President Taft wrote his
review of the charges fabricated against
Or. Wiley. In generating DR.. WHEY
he necessarily condemned the moving
spirits in the campaign to negative ms
work and bring about his dismissal 1t
WAS shown before the House Investigate
inc committee that Messrs McCabe ana
Dunlap had virtually exercised their
power as Il majority of the board TO
reduce the chief chemist to impotence,
and if Or. Wiley's course as the prose
cutor of violations of the pure food ana
drug act was to be sustained ii was
evident that a reorganization of the
board must follow.
The changes Just announced are prob
ably only first step in the process of
reimbursement. The President announced
| that some decisive measures would be
taken TO end the friction within the
department, but that they would wait
uron the findings of the Congressional
committee. 1t may fairly be presumed
| that the influences which were ut work
obstwcting Or. Wiley in his warfare on
misbranders and adulterators will be
eliminated and that violations Of the
law will be pursued more vigorously
than ever.
The public is exceedingly sensitive on
the subject Of food authorizations. 1t
las no sympathy with efforts within
the department to protect manufacture
ers and dealers who think that they
should he allowed to palm off on their
customers something just as good
Dcceptions which may be harmless lead
to deceptons which endangcr health.
The only safe rule to follow is TO insist
or honest labelling, so that the pur-
chaser may know exactly what he Is
buying and get exactly what he is
willing to pay for. The public believes
that DR.. Wiley has always stood for Il
scrupulous adherence TO the law, and
it reioiccs that the conspiracy TO dis
credit him has failed. 1t will not be
satisfied until he is again established in
authority and the department is cleared
Of intrigucrs bent on clipping the claws
/ Of the pure food law.

THE WEST AND THE PRESIDENT.

THE WEST AND THE president.
Those who want to get an accurate
view of the impression which President
Tafts visit has made upon the Insur-
gent element of the party in the West
ern states will find instruction in the
comment which we reprint from a re
cent issue Of "The Topeka Capital a
representative Progressive newspaper of
high character and pronounced indie
pendence and broad minded enough 70
be essentially fair in its political judg-
ments. What it says may reasonably
be supposed to reflect the general view
of the Insurgents of Kansas. Iowa, Ne
braska. Minnesota and the Dakotas, and
that view deserves to be taken into &C.
count by persons who are trying to eSti'
mate the political effect of President
Taft's programme of meeting the West
ern voters face To face and explaining
his policies TO them. "The Capital
said:
There is one thing greatly i'm the Presi-
dents favor. RE is personally liked.
The people respond to his kindly manner,
his temperate speech, his impartial
method of arguing or advancing his
opinions. Everything about the Prcsi-
dent impresscs the people with his sin
Cerity And causes of the sharpcst criti-
cism are getting into the background,
gradually but fortunately for the Presi-
dent. BallingeT is no more. Reciprocity
is dead. Aldrich is in private life. Can
non is dcposed. While the President IS
given no credit for these events, vet they
have occurred, and causes Of dissatis-
faction are thus removed. Now. if the
President should win in a great tariff
battle next winter, he will he much
stronger than he is at present or has
been at any time since he sided with the
stand patters" in the case Of Ballinger
and Of the Payne-Aldrich tariff.
The great mass OF the Western people
are by no means as hostile TO the Prcsi-
dent as the Western InSurgent politi-
clans are. In many of the Far West
ern states there is little organized In
,urCent sentiment left. and diSappOint-
meut in the Mississippi Valley region
over the Payne-Aldrich tariff revision
has given way to the hope that through
the agency Of vigorous and competent
tariff board such reductions in rarcs
can be secured rs will benefit the cor
sumner and yet do 10 injury 70 the great
fabric OF American industry.
Those who have been counting on the
diSaffectlon OF the West i'm 1912 will
do well 10 measure the situation there
in the light Of "The Topeka Capitals"
candid criticisms and admissions. The
West believes in My. Taft and will
eagerly respond TO any favorable oppor-
'unity TO align itself in full support Of
his administration.

Mr.. and Mrs. John d. Rockefeller re-
turned from Cleveland yesterday 10 their
home in the Kent House. on their estate
AT Pocantico Hills The Rockefeller party
arrived at Gas o'clock in the morning. Mt.
Rockefeller was first out Of the car, ana
he then assisted Mrs Rockefeller and Miss
spellman. The newspaper men were in
waiting. and Mr. Rockefeller came forward
and shook hands. saying that he was gIad
70 see them. Then he turned to help Mrs
Rockefeller, but she said she was all right
II was raining when the party arrived.
Mr.. Rockefeller seemed well, and stepped
ont of the coach loking spick and span
The travel in the sleeper had not bothered
him in the least. The party crossed the
track and the carriages drove down 10 the
freight yard, 50 that Mrs Rockefeller
wouldn't have 10 walk so far. It was nee
essarv for Mr.. Rockefeller practically 10
lift Mrs. Rockefeller into the coach. She
anneared TO be troubled with her back. Her
sister and two other women got in with
her and Mr.. Rockefeller said: IN sit out
sido with John and enjoy the fresh air.
There was another large carriage for the
servants and an automobile which carried
about thirty pieces of baggage. Johh ~
Rockefeller, jr.. and his wife were not on
hand. as Mr. Rockefeller is hunting IN

William Tucker, the golf professional,
went up from Ardsley at II O'CLOCK ana

There is not a paragraph Of which it can
be said that only from convention Of
the reformed style could such an utter
ance be expected to proceed.
The one result which is yet to be de-
termined concerns the obligation resting
upou the candidates who are TO he elect
ed next month. Hitherto candidates have
been nominated on platforms previously
made 10y others, and while they have
generally declared their acceptance Of
them and have promised TO execute them
they have not infrequently avoided the
fulflment of platform pledges by saying
that they did not make the platforms
and that they ran not upon the plat
forms, but upon their own records. Now,
however. the platforms are made by the
candidates themselves after their NOM
ination. and may therefore he expected
t. be somewhat more binding At any
rate. It should be much more difficult
than hitherto for member Of the Leg
iSlature to justify or TO explain his
failure to stand by the pledges which
were made in the campaign.

Its RESPONSIBILITY

President Taft gave the West nj the
Denver public lands convention a plain
talking to that was much needed. He
told those who wanted to see the public
lands developed to get together and sup
port some measure that Eastern mem
bers Of Congress could accept and that
he himself could sign. As TO the West
ern objection to the leasing system, he
said, fatty: you want something done
whereby the capitalist who invests his
money may be assured Of a fair re-
turn. You think the leasing system
won't do that ! say it will. II has
done it elsewhere, and it will do it
here"
The West must make up its mind to
accept the leasing system for public
lands. The nation is determined TO re-
tain the title to the valuable properties
that have not yet passed into pri-
vate hands 1t is idle for the West TO
point TO the present deadlock and accuse
the conservation policy Of preventing
development. COnservationists do not
want to lock up" the great resources
that exist in the public lands They
wish to see them developed. II is the
Western spirit which was manifested at
this Denver convention and which Mr..
Taft rebuked that stands in the way of
development
If the West, with its power in Con
creSS. IFS strong representation on the
Public Lands committees of both houses
and its tacitly conceded right to take
the initiative as most Immediately in
terested, would only get together and
do something" rs Mr.. Taft advised
would only lend its support to measures
making the development Of public lands
poSSible-the halt i'm the use Of the coun-
try's undeveloped resources would be
ended. If the West wants the door
opened it should do something besides
ScOld conservation.

"a PUBLIC SCANDAL"
Editor Of The Tribune

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: | am glad that the press, and cspe-
cially influential papers like The Tribune,
are outspoken in condemnation Of the
Hans pardon It Is a public scandal. The
pardonins power was not given to the
Governor to be so misused. 1t was intend
ed for the vindication of the innocent In
this case it has been used for the prac-
teal exoneration of a noted assassin. He
was considered TO have been lucky TO
escape with a minimum sentence Of eight
years And now after two years and four
months he is pardoned. Think Of it! Two
years in prison for an educated man for
taking life. while poor and ignorant men
are serving ten-year sentences for offences
against property. No wonder the public
r. shocked and the officers Of justice dis
couraged. VETERAN.
