Kansas City, Mo, Sept 27.--Dr.
Harvey w. wiley, OF Washington, ID.
c., chief of the federal agricultural
department chemistry bureau and eX-
onerated star figure in the so-called
Wiley pure food controversy, told the
National Conservation Congress last
night that the health of the nation
was worth $40, 100000 900 He made
this estimate on the basis of 5000 per
capita average annual earning of
54,000,000 wage earning adults, each
representing a capital OF $4,000 in
vested at five per cent.
This declaration was made in
an address in which he advocated linn
itation of marriage to normal and
healthy individuals, segregation of tu-
berculor and typhoid fever patients
as in smallpox. yellow fever and leper
cases, establishment of a national de-
partment OF health and rigid enforce
ment of pure food and drug laws.
DR.. Wiley said that ''if in the remote
future, coal, iron, gold and silver
should become extinct, science would
provide substitutes" =" and that science
would Secure the maintenance and
increase of the wealth in forest, field

GENERAL CANTON
EXPECTS TROUBLE
IN SETTLEMENT OF SWANSON
COUNTY AFFAlRs-AWAiT DE.
CISioN OF JUDGE coTTERAL.

Adlutant General Frank Canton re-
turned Monday from Mountain Park
Swanson county where he was sent
by Governor Cruce last week after a
request had been made for the state
militia uy Kiowa and Comanche coun-
ty officials to secure the records of
Swanson county, lately dissolved by
court order. Tho records are held by
Officials of the county which was
ordered to dissolve.
General Canton reports that the sit
nation is quiet IN Swanson county
now, and probably will be at leas-
until September % when an order af-
fecting the situation will be handed
down in federal court by Judge Cot
teral. The order is on a motion for
restraining order, enioinng the Kio-
wa and Comanche county officials
from taking the Swanson county rec
ords and interfering with the business
of that county If the restraining or
der is not granted and the Swanson
county officers still refuse TO turn
over the records. trouble is antici-
pate4
As soon as he arrived at Mountain
/ Park with Sheriff Daniels OF Kiowa
county and Sheriff Nix OF Comanche
| county, General Canton called Sheriff
( Brashears of Swanson county into q
conference and handed our some
straight talk" regarding Q settlement
of the difficulty. He told the Swan
son county officials that while the
governor feels kindly towards the
/ people Of that section. unless they
allow the officers of the other two
counties to serve warrants which
they hold, the militia will be called
out to see that the warrants in the
hands of Kiowa county Officers is
one charging murder
The citizens and officials OF Swan
son county claim thta the county was
legally organized and that no cour-
has a right to dissolve N without the
/ citizens vote in favor of DISSOLUTION
They claim that it was dissolved on
an order Of a judge who was an in
terested party. and should have been
disqualified for thai reason: tnat
the action of the court in ordering
the county dissolved made everything
done for the last year illegal.
Bankers bought heavily of the wal
rants of Swanson county. they claim.
and unless the other two counties,
Kiowa and Comanche. assume these
warrants, 4 number o. purchasers OF
warrants will be bankrupted since
the courts ection will repudlate The
warrants, 1t is claimed. There are
number of other reasons which
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1911-09-27

they give for their refusal to sur
render the records
General Canton stated to Sheriff
BrQshears that the sheriffs of the 9th
er two counties cannot be held re-
sponsible for the validity Of the war
rants they held, and that their duty
is to make the proper return on
them to district courts of their coun-
ties by making arrests. and that
they have the authority to deputize
as many men as they need and make
the arrests
Quiet has been assured until the
decision is rendered by Judge Cotter-
Al, after which there may be inter
esting developments, according to

their belief that they have acquired

made an assay of a piece of rock that

beyond belief. He stated that he was

ore was available but if there was
much of it there was untold wealth
in store for the owner of the prop
erty.

ing the tests here are all practical
mining engineers and have been in
the business for years, that they have
faith in the ArbuclIle field is eyinced
br the fact that they are willing to
invest their money there and erect
a smelter to reduce the ore and put
in shape for the market In compari-
son they stated that the Missouri and
Kansas fields could be contained in
a township, but from their observation
they were convinced that this field
was larger than all the rest of the
zinc deposits in the world.
There is great activity in the field

This smelter is a new departure in
the line of reducing the ore to a mer-
chantable product, and in so much as
it does the work so much quicker
and at a greatly reduced cost, it Is
asserted that it will revolutionize the

The selfish physician will be glad
to see the present condition of af-
fairs continue because it tends to
produce disease and thus throws in
to his hands an increasing practice.
The altruistic physician believes in
prophylaxis rather than in therapeu-
tics. He is wiling to sacrifice his own
income in his devotion to the public
service.
Congress should take early steps
towards securing in the councils of
the nation an adviser to the presi-
dent charged with the protection of
the health of the people and the prop
er education of the people in matters
relating to their well-being, both
moral and physical. What is needed
is to bring together all the activities
of the national government into one
department having the prestige and
power of presidential advisement."
Vigorously did Dr. Wiley attack as
a thief and a corrupter of public
morals" of the manufacturer who sells
adulterated foods and drugs. The hui
man animal, he declared. is entitled
to a pure and wholesome diet. THE
drug store and the grocery store" he
said. should be distinct concerns and
not sell each others wares. The
man who converts peanut shells into
pepper. on the ground that the poor
man Is not able to buy pure pepper,
is thief and a corrupter of public
morals. The rich man possibly may
be able to afford peanut shells, but
the poor man never. The man who
dilutes the milk, waters the stock of
the wealthiest company in the world.
Especially is this principle true,
he declared "as regards children and
no penalty is too severe for the man
who deliberately puts poisonous dye
into candy to sell the stick for 4
penny and puts two-thirds of the pen
ny into his own pocket Or, when
children of a larger growth are able TO
frequent the ubiquitous soda foun
tain why should they be permitted
to freely purchase injurious alkaloids
or fraudulent substitutes for sugar
used as a sweetening agent?
