FOE OF ADULTERATORS.
DIR. Wiley, Against Whom Efforts
Are Being Directed by Enemies
OF Pure Food Law.
New York Times.

New York Times.
Dr. Wiley has welded more power
for many years than almost any 9TH
or subordinate Official Of the Depart
ment OF Agriculture. He was the
prime mover I'm all the pure food leg
islation that has been placed on the
statute books. and has been charged
with the execution OF the law under
the direction Of the Secretary OF Ag-
riculture ever since the passage OF
the law. Practically single handed
he has waged vigorous fight against
every form OF adulteration OF foods
entering into domestic and foreign
commerce. and has presented an un-
compromising 'front.' to every at
tempt TO evade OF let down the strict
letter OF the law. He has consequent
" been under fire for years. and has
maintained his position against all
odds with an ability and fcarlessness
that has won for him the highest
praise.
He had the cooperation of Pres
ident Roosevelt In the earlier stages
OF the contest against adulterators
OF food products. but at times his
position was so radical that no other
alternative was presented but to
over-rule him. With the incoming OF
the Taft administration a distinct
understanding was insisted upon by
President Taft that the activity Of
the author and executor OF the
Pure Food law should be limited to
existing laws and no steps should be
taken TO enlarge It's scope or juris-
diction. Under DR.. wiley's unmiti-
gated persistence In running down
violations Of the law hundreds Of de-
cisions have been secured In the
courts all over the country where
by manufacturers have been tned
heavily and their reprehensible prac-
tices absolutely stamped out.

to forty or sixty acre farms. The
land was also drained, and where 1t
had been purchased at cost Of
$500 an acre it was now sold for
from s25 to S35. If it paid cor
poration to borrow money to build
up good roads and put in a proper
system or drainage, it would certain
ly pay the county to do the same
thing when it could borrow the mon
ey ut greatly reduced rate Of inter-
est. These financiers had realized
the necessity Of good roads and had
gone ahead and built them. The
voters of the county, as good business
men, ought to realize just as fully the
benefits that would result to them
ana to the county from a system Of
good roads. When at the expense of
a few dollars you might benefit your
land from Is per cent to 100 per cent
would that not be a paying propo-
sition? AS the highways are built the
laws regulating the traffic on these
highways will be made and enforced
Mr.. Mcleod closed his address by
saying that no one except those who
had driven through roads six inches
in sand or full Of mud holes and
highly unsafe for public traffic would
ever appreciate the real meaning Of
good roads until they were obtain
ed. He said that we worked hard
