PURE FOOD EXPERTS
EFFICIENCY IS PARALIZED

President Taft's exoneration of DR..
Harvey W. Wiley carried with it to
many minds the impression that Wi
ley's authority has been restored. That
is a mistake. Wiley remains a nom
entity as far as the enforcement of
the pure food act is concerned. Moth
ing has been done to change the con-
ditions SO graphically described before
the Moss committee. The board of
food and drug inspection continues in
control of the administration of the
pure food act. 1t still consists of
Wiley, Mccabe and Dunlap. and it is
inconceivable that their relations will
be more harmonious because Of the
failure of the scheme of McCabe and
Dunlap to Dust Wiley. The latter tes-
titled that the vote was so often two
to one against him that he generally
refrained xom voting. Without a
thorough housekeeping at the Depart
ment of Agriculture the interests of
the people will have profited little by
the presidents action.
