Reduced Express Rates.

1t is reported that leading railroads
are preparing to combat the practical
ly universal demand of the American
public for the reduction of express
rates.
On account of the railroads and the
express companies it is to be hoped
that the report has no foundation in
facr.
The people are in no humor for
any fooling on the part of the rail-
roads or the express companies. They
corporations, but they have grown i'm.
patient of their forwardness and de-
lays. They have been fully inform
ed by the testimony of the express
companies themselves, evidence that
has been submitted to, that these
corporations are monopolies, that
they reap enormous harvests which
they did not SOW, and that no other
business yields such returns and divi
dends on so slight an actual invest
ment and expenditure.
When the Great Northern Express
company in 1909, made a profit of 80
per cent, and while railroads absorb
more than half of the profits of eX.
press companies, it is madness for
any class of common carriers to try
to resist attempts to reduce the rates
of eXpressage to reasonable figures.
The interstate commerce commits
sion will be backed by the public at
every step of the most drastic inves.
tigation it can make of the express
business.

On Anachronism

The near catastrophe which took
place on the Hoquiam river bridge
Tuesday evening, when the bridge
was about to be opened to allow the
steamer Champion to pass at the
same time when the Grays Harbor
Limited came laundering along, bound
for the Sound, is another evidence in
unwinding the red tape that keeps in
place a custom or habit. long since
out of date. Precedence is given to
boats, though such precedence means
disaster and death on passenger trains.
With a watch in his pocket the cap
tain knew the time when passenger
trains cross the bridge, and common,
ordinary regard for the public well
fare would indicate that he could
start for the bridge in ample time to
be out of the way when passenger
trains came along or anticipate their
coming by timing his departure a lit
tie sooner.
The loss caused to industries in this
city on account of this custom of open
ing the bridge to save the rotten
flag staff on every tub that passes up
and down the river if computed in
dollars and cents would startle most
anybody. 1t would pay to provide
collapsible stats and smokestacks for
all corners, and still there would be
money enough left to replace the old
bridge with a new one every two
years. All of which is sheer waste,
the travellers life is leopard
lied to keep alive custom
that is out of date and which
like in all other civilized countries,
would long since have been abolished,
If our representatives in congress
We're doing their duty.

Dr.. Wiley's Goat!

DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, stormy petrol
between food dopers and the Taft ad-
ministration, has been militant gov
eminent chemist for % years. Pack
against him because of his fight
against the use of benzoate of soda.
Benzoate increases the profits of en-
balmed beef packers because it will
''restore" and preserve meats that
have become putrescent. The cost of
manufacture of bologna and sausage
may be materially reduced by using
water and cereals. Water costs moth
ing and the cereal is cheaper than
meat. The result is cheapening of
the product and lowering of the
food value. But when water and
cereal is used the meat begins to
sour. 1t is to preevnt this souring
process that the benzoate of soda may
be used Chemist declare benzoate is
of no earthly use to the manufacturer
who puts pure foods upon the mar
ket.
DR.. Wiley also fought the bleached
-four interests to the last ditch. He
exposed the injurious coloring used in
candies sold to children. He stub
bornly opposed the use of sulphur as
as fruit preservative. He secured the
removal of the tax on denatured al
cohol. He exposed frauds without
number in patent medicines. 1t was
Wiley who started the war on the use
of narcotics and other poisons in soda
fountain drinks. And he stubbornly
fought the whisky trust until he was
as last overruled by President Taft
These facts tell better than long
article could why it is up to the food
dopers to get Wiley's goat Also
why it is up TO the people to see that
they don't get it.
