LONGEST JACKPOT ON RECORD
comes ragged from Missouri, where
Such Things Bloom the Year
Round.

The poker story which the Hon. William
waller Rucker of Missouri insisted on
telling to the house of representatives on
FRIDAY and which In the absence of the
sergeant-at-arms he told in defiance OF
the point of order OF mo quorum" GER
tainly revealed one of the most remark.
able jackpots on record-more remarkable
with respect to its length than even the
famous jackpot of San Antonio
That lasted for fourteen deals despite
all efforts of four skilled dealers to gel

markable feature, however when it waI
finally opened with three sevens, was the
hand which won IT and the player who
held that hand.
The player was a young man OF fortune
from Boston, and certainly one of the
bravest spirits that ever looked death in
the face with a smile and met him unoon-
quered with a jest. For he was hope
less consumptive and had come to sar
Antonio not because he feared to die but
merely that he might look for a few weeks
longer upon the sun. And when he showed
down the winning hand he gasped;
II have held royal flush can die
now" Which It was-ace, king, queen
did, four days later without fear and
smiling at his own sufferings to the last
The jackpot of which Congressman
Rucker told was remarkable chiefly for
its quite inordinate and wholly unreason'
able length, and for the persistence OF lh'

THE FRAME-UP
AGAINST DIR. WILEY

His open assailants now are Wick
ersham, OF antedated document motor
iety and sufferer in every exposure
of this scandal-tainted administration;
Solicitor George B. McCabe, packer
Of the Denver convention OF state
food officials with government em-
ployes to discredit Wiley and anti
poison laws more recently a figure
IN both the Alaska scandals; q COM
PLEASANT Doctor Dunlap, who sits on
McCabe's board OF food and drug In
spection and votes with McCabe TO
overrule Wiley; Assistant Secretary
Hays and the obsolete secretary OF
the interior, Wilson.
But back of these are the real an
tagonists OF Wiley. The sugar trust
Is there. For Wiley Is the real foun-
der OF the American beet sugar in
dustry and the persistent Assailant OF
the thieving Dutch standard in the
tariff, upon which the power Of the
former client of Mr.. Wickersham and
Henry Taft was founded.
The whisky trust is back of the
anti-Wiley plot. For it was Wiley
who declared that only honest whis-
ky is real whisky, and that the label
should tell the purchaser what was
in the bottle-a ruling so distaste-
full to the Cincinnati rectifers, who
are loyal supporters OF the George b.
Cox-Charles p. Taft political organiza-
tion, that for that or some other rea-
sons the president felt impelled to
override not only Doctor Wiley's sci
ence, but Mr.. Taft's own eminent ia
Tiers law.
The saccharin cheat interests are
against him, strongly represented by
Vice-President Sherman. And so are
all the cheats and misbranders and
prisoners for profit with benzoate
tritive drugs.
the health of the American people.
The national pure-food law now is
emasculated almost beyond recogni-
ton. It's whole strength consists in
the moral weight which Wiley's pres
ence gives to IL. With him removed.
the Wilson's and McCabes would soon
convert that bureau into a poison IL
cense Office.
We say this not because II would
appeal to President Taft. For entire.
ly other reasons wethink he will not
have the hardihood to get rid of Doc
tor Wiley, despite the pressure Of the
Representatives Of special privilege
who surround him and know exactly
what they want"
u is for political reasons that he
will not dare add to the record of his
scandal-smirched administration such
fragrant disregard OF the lives and
health OF the people. His campaign
managers must have been amazed 10
